CGrowth Capital Inc. Announces the acquisition of Savage Barbell Apparel Company

CGrowth Capital, Inc.

McapMediaWire -- CGrowth Capital Inc. (OTC: CGRA ) is a public Mergers and Acquisition Company focused on disrupting the sports and lifestyle sectors through the acquisition, consolidation and reformation of industry-leading products and services combined with disruptive technology. In its first of several deals, CGrowth Capital (CGRA) has today announced that it has acquired 100% of the California based Savage Barbell Apparel Company. The acquisition of Savage Barbell is the first of many to be completed in the first half of 2023 and is a significant step towards the implementation of CGRA’s roadmap, which involves establishing scalable product and technology offerings that will be integrated across various sports verticals. The company’s medium to long-term vision is to be integral in the entire value chain of the sports sector, right through its entire life cycle from training to media content. This includes but is not limited to pre, intra and post-game technology, equipment, apparel including wearable technology, nutrition, venue technology, pay per view streaming and sports betting. Although CGRA itself is not focused on becoming a retailer, it knows the importance of rapidly increasing its revenue and profitability, with critical mass featuring as an essential element of the business plan, especially within in the first 12 months. CGRA’s first acquisition is strategically significant given that all sports which the company will be involved in consume and require huge volumes of apparel and merchandise. This will allow Savage Barbell to expand its distribution globally and increase its offering into additional sporting lines. Furthermore, CGRA is able to leverage immediate sales and revenue into all the sports it will be involved in. Savage Barbell already sells its products in more than 10 countries. At present, it is specifically focused on the niche market of functional fitness, which includes apparel for cross fit, the world’s fastest growing high intensity sport. The majority of Savage Barbell’s sales are currently within the USA and a realistic target has been set for expansion from 10 to at least 20 countries in 2023. The company will further expand its range into sports where CGRA is expected to announce its involvement in during the remainder of this first quarter, with these sports already followed by tens of millions of participants and several hundred million spectators. Alongside Savage Barbells expansion of its manufacturing and distribution capability, the company expects to increase its sales run rate from $5 million to $20 million by the end of 2024. The acquisition of Savage Barbell was paid for with a combination of restricted common shares and cash to the total of $700,000. The current CEO will remain with the business for 6 months while the Savage Barbell team expands and recruits additional key personnel. CGRA’s soon to be announced experienced new board and management team will play an instrumental role in driving exponential growth of Savage Barbell alongside the businesses that are being added. A link to the Savage Barbell website can be found here: https://savagebarbell.com Sport is a more than $500 billion market which touches almost every person’s life in some way, regardless of race, gender, religion, or geography. However, many traditional sports have seen their followings stagnate, often resulting from their stale or bureaucratic approach which has caused them to lose their spectator value and engagement. CGRA has identified several lucrative opportunities to Disrupt the market in these popular traditional sports that require rejuvenation. CGRA will be announcing its dynamic management team and CEO shortly. This is running slightly behind schedule due to some new employees experiencing restrictions from their previous employers. The announcement is therefore planned for the coming weeks as soon as it is possible, and CGRA’s new website is expected to go live within two weeks. In one of several vital steps that the company is taking towards becoming a global player in the sports and lifestyle markets, CGRA intends to be audited and fully reporting during the first half of 2023. CGRA’s Interim CEO Nicolas Link said “ I’m so excited for the opportunity which lays ahead for CGRA. It’s not often that there is such an enormous opportunity to disrupt such a large addressable market that is so relevant to almost everyone. This large addressable market presents significant interconnected opportunities for all companies which I am involved in, and I believe that this will add tremendous stakeholder value at every level”.

OYO USA’s per hotel revenue surpasses pre-pandemic levels in 2022, outpaces industry with 18% growth

OYO

Global travel technology company, OYO’s USA operation announced that it has outpaced the budget hotel segment’s growth in per available room revenue (RevPar) with an 18% rise in 2022 vs pre-covid year, 2019. The budget hotel segment in the meanwhile, grew by only 6% in the US, according to STR reports. OYO has seen significant growth in its priority markets of Miami, Houston and Phoenix, where it has sizable concentration of hotels. According to STR Miami Sub Market report, the budget segment in the region saw a 21% jump in RevPar in 2022 vs 2019 while OYO hotels in the region saw a 28% uplift in RevPar in 2022 vs 2019, which translated to ~1.3x higher growth than the other budget hotels in the region. Overall, the region has witnessed a shift in demand pattern with majority of bookings coming from domestic tourists. OYO saw a 13% jump in RevPar in Houston region while the budget hotel segment here saw a meagre 0.16% growth in RevPar, according to STR Sub Market report. For OYO, the increase in demand in the region can be attributed to uptick in business travel, given the region’s proximity to the oil & gas hub. A popular leisure market, Phoenix saw a 32% jump in RevPar in 2022 vs 2019 whereas OYO’s hotels in the region saw 41% jump in RevPars, again, ~1.3x higher than industry revenue per available room. Talking about the recovery, Gautam Swaroop, CEO OYO International said, “OYO’s US hotels have seen a significant improvement in per available room revenue in 2022, surpassing industry average. Domestic tourism has spearheaded this uplift with leisure and revival of business travel in 2022, leading the way. After two years of travel constraints, the US government easing restrictions in summer 2022 has played an important role in opening up domestic travel in the country and paving way to creating newer tourist pockets across the country.” OYO offers hotels access to a large base of regular customers through its app and website, and also lists hotels on multiple Online Travel Agents (OTAs) to boost booking demand and, therefore, revenue. OYO’s best-in-class Artificial Intelligence-enabled pricing software automatically drives the best booking prices across all channels, based on room type, seasonality and other factors, therefore, enabling such doubling of revenues. The company also helps ensure great experience for customers, with ease of search and quick booking experience, highly competitive room prices, automated tools such as Artificial Intelligence powered chatbots to quickly resolve customer queries, loyalty programmes and easy refund, if needed. OYO US recently announced that it witnessed a 46% increase in per room revenue (RevPar) for its hotels since COVID (2020) with the strongest uplift at 64%, recorded during the peak season months of June, July, August vs the same period in 2020. For OYO US, coastal Oregon, Miami, Myrtle beach, Houston and San Antonio emerged as the destinations with highest RevPar in 2022. Travel recovery was largely led by domestic travel in the US.

BioRestorative Therapies Inc (NASDAQ: BRTX) Announces European Patentability Of ThermoStem® Program With Indications In Obesity And Type 2 Diabetes

BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.

By Julian Richard, Benzinga BioRestorative Therapies (NASDAQ: BRTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on stem cell-based therapies, announced on the 8th of February that the European Patent Office had issued a notice of allowance for a patent application related to its metabolic ThermoStem® program. The Notice of Allowance signals the end of the examination process for the patent application. It indicates that the European Patent Office has determined that the ThermoStem® program is novel, non-obvious, and fully and particularly described in the patent application. The Notice of Allowance is a testament to BioRestorative’s commitment to innovation and advancing medical science through developing novel therapies utilizing adult stem cells. With this milestone, BioRestorative has made significant strides toward achieving its mission of developing and commercializing cell-based products and therapeutics for various metabolic conditions – such as diabetes and obesity – across key international markets. This patent will provide the company with protection for its proprietary ThermoStem® process, which is being developed for the treatment of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions, such as obesity and increased cholesterol (fat) and glucose in the blood, that increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. The ThermoStem® program harnesses the body’s ability to create new brown fat tissue from human brown adipose-derived stem cells. Pioneering research conducted by Biorestorative Therapies demonstrated that brown tissue burns rather than stores energy. Increased levels of brown tissue support weight loss by increasing metabolism and reducing sugar and fats in the blood. Thus, higher brown fat levels may address metabolic syndrome's significant effects. Obesity management is the subject of intense clinical development with Eli Lilly Co (NYSE: LLY) and Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE) looking to emulate the success of Semaglutide, marketed by Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE: NVO) for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. “Our patent family for our ThermoStem® program continues to grow as we receive additional patent grants in key markets,” said Lance Alstodt, CEO of BioRestorative Therapies, commenting on the development. “We are committed to the development of ThermoStem® as a potential treatment for obesity and metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes. This patent, which covers a manufacturing process for ThermoStem® developed by BioRestorative’s scientists, enhances our ability to do so in European jurisdictions.” In addition to its metabolic program (ThermoStem®), BioRestorative Therapies is pioneering the use of a patient’s bone marrow cells to treat chronic lower back pain caused by degenerative disc disease. BRTX-100 is currently being evaluated as a non-invasive alternative to surgery in patients with degenerative chronic lower back pain, with results from the clinical study expected in March or April 2023. Visit https://www.biorestorative.com for more information on the company and its product candidates. This article originally appeared on Benzinga here. BioRestorative Therapies was founded by scientists and researchers committed to developing stem cell therapies to address unmet needs in patients with highly prevalent conditions.Our advances in stem cell biology and delivery protocols harbor great promise in conditioning our bodies’ own regenerative potential to treat major diseases more effectively than current interventions.Today, BioRestorative is actively developing programs that aim to dramatically increase quality of care for both (i) chronic back pain caused by disc degeneration, as well as (ii) metabolic disorders including obesity and diabetes.
