Dan-O's Seasoning Secures Strategic Investment of $25M from The Newcastle Network to Bring Bold Flavor to More Kitchens

The partnership marks The Newcastle Network's first investment in food, backing a brand built with a community of more than 15 million home cooks.

WELLESLEY, Mass., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Newcastle Network, a consumer-focused private equity firm, today announced a $25 million investment in Dan-O's Seasoning, the Louisville-based brand that turned a farmers market table into a flavor community more than 15 million strong. The investment marks The Newcastle Network's first move into food.

The investment will supercharge Dan-O's next chapter, bringing fans more of the flavors they love, in new formats, and expanding availability across retail and online. Founder Dan Oliver and CEO Phillip Crosby continue to lead Dan-O's as the company grows, staying true to its mission to change the way the world seasons food.

"The brands we're most excited about don't just sell products, they change behavior," said Chris Casgar, Managing Partner, The Newcastle Network. "Dan has built far more than a seasoning company. He's created a platform that inspires millions of home cooks to experiment, create, and enjoy cooking more. That's rare, it's incredibly difficult to replicate, and it's exactly the kind of business we're looking to back as we build our food portfolio. The Dan-O's investment is just the beginning."

For Newcastle, Dan-O's is a signal of a broader commitment to the category. The firm sees founder-led challengers taking share from legacy food brands by building community first and distribution second. Newcastle's team brings deep expertise in food, built over their individual careers, positioning the firm as a hands-on partner to the brands it backs.

"I started out at a farmers market with one goal: get people to put some Dan-O's on it, have fun in the kitchen, and make food they were excited to share," said Dan Oliver, Founder of Dan-O's Seasoning. "Our Fan-O's took it from there. They started shakin' it on everything, mixing flavors, creating their own recipes, and making Dan-O's part of their own cooking stories. They've built this into something way bigger than me. With Newcastle's support, we'll keep bringing more Dan-Good flavor, helping more people cook with confidence, and making time in the kitchen even more fun."

Founder Dan Oliver started Dan-O's in 2015, selling an early version of his Original blend at a local farmers market after friends kept telling him it was too good to keep to himself. He shared the recipes he was cooking, fans cooked along, and before long they were stacking blends, mixing flavors, and making them their own. Dan-O's became more than a seasoning. It became a creative outlet in the kitchen and the center of a growing community of home cooks. The brand is sold at danosseasoning.com and in more than 22,000 retailers nationwide, and Dan was named an EY Entrepreneur of the Year in 2023.

Dan-O's and The Newcastle Network will build the brand's next chapter together, staying true to the flavor, the fans, and the community that made it what it is today.

About Dan-O's Seasoning

Dan-O's Seasoning was founded in 2015 by Dan Oliver in Louisville, Kentucky. The company's mission is to change how the world seasons food, one seasoning at a time, by providing a flavor-first alternative to traditional herbs and spices. Dan-O's is one of the fastest-growing seasoning brands in the country with a community of more than 15 million home cooks, and a presence in more than 22,000 major retailers nationwide and online at www.danosseasoning.com.

Bringing AI Into Everyday Operations

A dedicated AI lab will introduce franchise owners to tools for daily operations and technician training through live demonstrations and case studies.

Equipped with computers, workstations, and virtual reality equipment, the lab will support the development and training of AI agents built using Claude, with a focus on helping franchisees support their teams and improve customer service.

Keeping Franchise Owners at the Center of Growth

EverHUB's "Voice of the Franchisee" theme recognizes leading owners throughout the facility and highlights their role in shaping the platform's direction.

"Our franchise owners' perspectives must remain at the center of every strategic initiative," Ghadery said. "Every decision we make must consider the impact on their businesses."

"Having a dedicated facility where owners and team members can train on the equipment, processes and service standards we use every day will help create greater consistency across the system," said Chris Kushmaul, owner of MilliCare in Ann Arbor, Michigan. "For MilliCare, that means better-trained teams, stronger execution in the field and more confidence as we continue to grow."

A private grand opening celebration will include a ribbon-cutting, tours, and entertainment, bringing together franchisees from all seven brands, strategic partners, platform leadership, Riverside representatives, franchise brokers, IFA partners, and local officials.

EverSmith Brands is actively seeking franchise owners across its portfolio, with territory available nationwide. Learn more at www.eversmithbrands.com/franchise-support/.

Bolt picks NVIDIA Alpamayo Stack to drive its autonomous vehicles across Europe

NVIDIA software to power Bolt's European autonomous programme, beginning in Madrid in 2027 and supporting the rollout of at least 25,000 Lucid vehicles, as Bolt targets 100,000 AVs by 2035

BERLIN, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bolt has selected NVIDIA Alpamayo Stack, NVIDIA's full-stack autonomous-driving software, to drive vehicles in its European autonomous ride-hailing programme, beginning with Lucid.

With the core technology now in place, Bolt is preparing to bring its autonomous driving programme onto European roads. The programme will start in Madrid during 2027 while Germany and France are identified as key markets for future deployment. The programme will lay the foundations for a rollout of at least 25,000 Level 4-ready Lucid vehicles equipped with NVIDIA Hyperion.

The programme forms a major part of Bolt's wider plan to deploy 100,000 autonomous vehicles across Europe and the wider UNECE region by 2035.

Together, Bolt, NVIDIA and Lucid are turning a global technology supply chain into one product for European cities. The aim is to build an autonomous ride-hailing service that can expand beyond individual programmes, across multiple vehicle manufacturers and markets.

The programme in Madrid is expected to begin with Lucid vehicles in 2027, initially gathering real-world driving data to support the development and validation of the autonomous driving technology, subject to regulatory approval.

The programme pairs Lucid's software-defined vehicles with NVIDIA Hyperion and Alpamayo Stack. Bolt and NVIDIA will work together to adapt the driving software for European roads and integrate it into vehicles from multiple manufacturers, beginning with Lucid. Running on NVIDIA Hyperion, Alpamayo Stack combines reasoning AI with classical perception and planning, supported by NVIDIA Halos safety capabilities.

Bolt Autonomous Driving Solutions will lead the development and commercialisation of the autonomous ride-hailing service in Europe, bringing its fleet-management infrastructure, regulatory expertise and local market knowledge to the programme, alongside its experience operating a global mobility platform serving more than 200 million customers.

"Autonomous driving will change how people move around cities, and Europe should play a major role in how that future is built," said Jevgeni Kabanov, President and Head of Autonomous Driving at Bolt.

"Our ambition isn't to bring autonomous driving to just a handful of cities. We want to make autonomous ride-hailing available at scale across Europe, with 100,000 vehicles on our platform by 2035. We're bringing together some of the best technologies in the world to make that possible. Following our first autonomous mobility launch in Luxembourg, our next step with NVIDIA and Lucid is to begin a programme in Madrid in 2027. The Region of Madrid is pioneering a structured framework for commercial autonomous mobility in coordination with national authorities. Germany will also be a priority for what comes next, with cities already setting out clear ambitions for autonomous mobility."

"Robotaxis will scale when every vehicle is built on a common, safety-engineered foundation," said Rishi Dhall, vice president of automotive at NVIDIA. "NVIDIA Hyperion standardizes the compute and sensor architecture across vehicle platforms, while NVIDIA Alpamayo Stack and Halos provide the driving intelligence and safety foundation. Bolt's European platform, operational experience and work with cities and regulators make it a strong partner to bring autonomous ride-hailing to market at scale in Europe."

"Lucid's advanced vehicle architecture provides an ideal foundation for integrating NVIDIA Alpamayo technology with Bolt's mobility platform," said Kay Stepper, President of Lucid Technologies and Chief Digital Officer at Lucid. "Our close collaboration to date, and launch of data collection next year, mark the first steps toward bringing scalable, software-defined autonomous mobility in Europe."

The NVIDIA and Lucid programme forms part of Bolt's wider autonomous driving strategy, alongside its work with Pony.ai and Stellantis, bringing together multiple vehicle manufacturers and technology partners to develop and deploy autonomous mobility across European markets.

NOTES TO EDITORS

- Alpamayo Stack is full-stack driving software that combines reasoning AI, classical perception and planning, and safety guardrails to navigate complex traffic. Running on NVIDIA Hyperion, it will provide a common software foundation for Bolt's planned expansion across vehicle platforms and European markets.

- The programme will be built with NVIDIA Halos, NVIDIA's safety system bringing together safety-engineered computing, system software, AI guardrails and validation tools. Halos supports safety throughout development and operation, with capabilities for monitoring system behaviour and evaluating driving performance through simulation and real-world testing. These capabilities help teams build evidence that the integrated vehicle and driving software perform as intended across the conditions they are designed to encounter.

Detailed Third-Quarter 2026 Consolidated Financial Results

- Revenues for the third quarter totaled $32.3 billion, versus $30.7 billion in the year-ago quarter, up 5.3%. This was largely due to growth in Advanced Connectivity wireless service and equipment revenues, and fiber revenues, which include the impact of the Company's first-quarter acquisition of Lumen's mass markets fiber business. Operating revenues in Latin America were also higher due to favorable foreign exchange impacts and growth in postpaid revenues. Offsetting the increases were lower Legacy revenues from lower demand for services as the Company continues to decommission its copper-based network.

- Operating expenses were $28.2 billion, versus $24.6 billion in the year-ago quarter. Operating expenses increased primarily due to a non-cash impairment charge associated with the Company's held-for-sale Mexico wireless business of $2.6 billion, employee separation charges, increased wireless equipment costs, as well as higher advertising and higher bad debt expenses driven by subscriber growth. The increase was also due to incremental customer costs related to the acquired mass markets fiber business. These increases were partially offset by cost reductions from transformation initiatives and apportioned legal settlements in the prior-year period. Depreciation expense was also lower year over year from fully depreciated legacy assets, partially offset by ongoing capital spending for strategic initiatives.

- Operating income was $4.1 billion, versus $6.1 billion in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted operating income* was $7.6 billion, versus $6.6 billion in the year-ago quarter.

- Income from continuing operations was $1.3 billion, versus $9.7 billion in the year-ago quarter.

- Income from continuing operations attributable to common stock was $0.9 billion, versus $9.3 billion in the year-ago quarter. Earnings per diluted common share from continuing operations was $0.13, versus $1.29 in the year-ago quarter, which included a gain recognized on the sale of the DIRECTV investment. Adjusting for $0.52, which includes a non-cash impairment charge associated with the held-for-sale Mexico wireless business, employee separation charges, and other items, adjusted earnings per diluted common share* was $0.65, versus $0.54 in the year-ago quarter.

- Adjusted EBITDA* was $12.5 billion, versus $11.9 billion in the year-ago quarter.

- Cash from operating activities from continuing operations was $10.5 billion, versus $10.2 billion in the year-ago quarter, which included voluntary pension plan contributions. The increase also reflects timing of working capital payments.

- Capital expenditures related to continuing operations were $5.1 billion, versus $4.9 billion in the year-ago quarter. Capital investment* totaled $5.6 billion, versus $5.3 billion in the year-ago quarter. Cash payments for vendor financing totaled $0.5 billion, versus $0.4 billion in the year-ago quarter.

- Free cash flow* was $5.0 billion, versus $4.9 billion in the year-ago quarter.

- Total debt was $159.6 billion at the end of the third quarter and net debt* was $149.8 billion, both reflecting a sequential increase related to the closing of the EchoStar spectrum transaction.

AT&T Third-Quarter 2026 Segment Results6

Advanced Connectivity service revenues grew 6.1% year over year, driving growth in operating income of 18.9% and EBITDA* of 7.3%. Internet net adds were 769,000 – comprised of 442,000 fiber and 327,000 fixed wireless – and postpaid phone net adds were 379,000.

Advanced Connectivity segment revenues grew 7.2% year over year, driven by service revenue growth of 6.1% and higher equipment revenue. Wireless service revenue increased due to growth in retail wireless subscribers in underpenetrated categories and converged accounts, and pricing actions that were partially offset by promotional discounts on wireless subscriber additions. Advanced home internet revenue growth, which included an impact from the acquired mass markets fiber business that closed in the first quarter, reflects increases in fiber and AT&T Internet Air revenues. Business fiber and advanced connectivity revenues increased largely due to higher fiber and fixed wireless revenues.
