Stran & Company Achieves 52.4% Increase in Sales to Approximately $28.7 Million for the First Quarter of 2025
Quincy, MA, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stran & Company, Inc. ('Stran' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: SWAG) (NASDAQ: SWAGW), a leading provider of outsourced marketing solutions specializing in promotional products and loyalty incentives, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and provided a business update. Management will host a conference call at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, May 16, 2025.
'Stran entered 2025 with exceptional momentum, disciplined execution, and a steadfast commitment to our strategic vision,' said Andy Shape, Chief Executive Officer of Stran. 'Our first-quarter performance was exceptional, with revenue soaring 52.4% year-over-year to approximately $28.7 million and gross profit surging 51.1% compared to the prior year. These results are particularly impressive given the lower initial margins from our recent acquisition of the Gander Group assets. Encouragingly, we've already driven a modest improvement in SLS's gross profit margins and are focused on aligning them with Stran's historically strong margin profile. Additionally, our organic revenue growth of 11.2% underscores our resilience and competitive strength, especially in a challenging market environment that has tested many of our peers.'
'With the reaudit process behind us and timely reporting fully restored, we have shifted our focus toward accelerating organic growth and driving sustained margin improvement. One of the most significant milestones achieved this quarter was the successful implementation of our NetSuite ERP system in January. This enterprise-wide rollout marks a major step forward in our digital transformation, already delivering meaningful gains in automation, real-time visibility, and centralized process control. It has enhanced our ability to scale efficiently, serve clients with greater speed and accuracy, and manage operations with increased precision.'
'Furthermore, we are executing a focused plan to improve profitability through disciplined expense management, streamlined workflows, and scalable infrastructure. The integration of the Gander Group assets, which has brought meaningful scale, greater diversification, and valuable cross-sector opportunities to our business, remains on track, and we are already realizing synergies across sourcing, logistics, and client engagement. These initiatives reflect our commitment to strengthening our operational foundation and delivering long-term value through consistent, high-performance execution.'
'As we continue through 2025, we remain focused on executing our strategy with precision—delivering high-quality branded solutions, enhancing operational efficiency, and expanding margins. With a strong balance sheet that includes approximately $12.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments, we are well-positioned to support our growth initiatives while maintaining financial discipline. This foundation enables us to rapidly gain market share while executing on our commitment to driving long-term value for our shareholders.'

For the SLS segment, the increase in the dollar amount of operating expenses was due to the acquisition of the Gander Group assets in 2024.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $0.4 million, compared to approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This change was primarily due to an increase in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

Iran-Israel Conflict Escalates: Boon for ExxonMobil's E&P Business?
The West Texas Intermediate crude price is currently nearing the $75-per-barrel benchmark, representing a significant improvement from $60.79 on May 30, thanks to the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. This is a boon for Exxon Mobil Corporation 's XOM exploration and production (E&P) activities, as upstream operations are positively correlated with oil prices. Crude price data are as per In other words, with ExxonMobil generating the majority of its earnings from upstream operations, almost 88% in the first quarter of 2025, the rise in oil price is a positive development for its E&P business, aiding its bottom line. Delving into the large integrated energy player's upstream business, XOM has a strong footprint in the oil-rich Permian, the most prolific basin in the United States. With operations spread across the low-cost basin, the high oil price will likely generate significant cash flows for XOM. To describe XOM's strong focus on the Permian, the energy giant acquired Pioneer Natural Resources, with integration progressing well, and the company has revised its annual synergy estimates upward from $2 billion to $3 billion for the first decade. Thus, strong Permian operations amid the favorable crude pricing environment are aiding ExxonMobil. Are CVX & BP Also Gaining From High Oil Prices? Both Chevron Corporation CVX and BP plc BP generate significant earnings from their upstream operations, and hence, they benefit from higher oil prices. In the Permian, Chevron's operations cover approximately 1.8 million net acres within the sub-basins of Delaware and Midland. Being a major player in the region, CVX's breakeven costs are also low. Hence, it can generate handsome cashflow from a high crude pricing environment. In the first quarter of this year, CVX mentioned that Permian primarily aided its production volumes. BP also has a solid upstream operation, comprising a top-tier oil and gas business in attractive basins. BP is also a low-cost producer. The British energy giant claimed that it has been able to keep the cost of producing oil very low. Thus, BP is among the lowest-cost producers in the industry to capitalize on increasing oil prices. XOM's Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates Shares of XOM have gained 7.9% over the past year, outpacing the 3.7% improvement of the composite stocks belonging to the industry. From a valuation standpoint, XOM trades at a trailing 12-month enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) of 7.06X. This is above the broader industry average of 4.26X. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for XOM's 2025 earnings hasn't been revised over the past seven days. XOM stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

IHT Q1 HOTEL REVENUES EXCEED $2.2 MILLION; IBC MANAGEMENT OBTAINED
Phoenix, AZ, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InnSuites Hospitality Trust (NYSE American: IHT) reported Hotel Revenue results surpassing $2 million once again in the First Fiscal Quarter of 2026, (February 1, 2025, to April 30, 2025), with Total Revenue of approximately $2.2 million. Consolidated Net Income before non-cash depreciation expense was $221,330 for the 2026 First Fiscal Quarter ended April 30, 2025 (February 1, 2025, through April 30, 2025). Total Consolidated Fiscal First Quarter Net Income remained positive, at $39,030. IHT hotel operations were strong in the 2025 Fiscal Year ended January 31, 2025, and are contributing to a solid start in the current 2026 Fiscal Year. Combined Hotel May Revenue for both hotels was a notable $632,584, which has led to another remarkable Hotel Revenue amount of $2,838,347 for the first four Fiscal Months of Fiscal Year 2026. These are positive signs for InnSuites, as progress continues strong, while the Travel Industry in general, flattens. InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT), in late 2019, made a diversification investment in new development privately held UniGen Power, Inc. (UniGen), a company developing a patented, high profit potential, efficient clean energy generation innovation. With the continued strong demand from data centers, and added influx and popularity of electric cars, as well as growing projections for artificial intelligence, demand for electricity over the next five years is projected to approximately double. IHT holds convertible bonds and warrants that, if fully exercised, could result in IHT holding an approximately up to 15-20% or more ownership stake in UniGen. UniGen is currently concentrating on its next round of capital raising, in which IHT may participate. UniGen is a high-risk, clean, efficient, diversification investment, offering high potential investment return if and when successful. RRF LLLP, the Management Company for IHT, has recently become the Management Company for InnDependent Boutique Collection (IBC Hotels, LLC). This is another new diversification opportunity IHT may participate in further, in the future. In the process of ownership and management of branded and unbranded hotels, IHT recognized an unfulfilled need to provide hotel reservations, branding, and hotel services for global independent hotels, which at the time and still represent half the hotels in the world. In February 2014, IHT founded IBC Hotels, LLC to explore this unfulfilled opportunity, developing reservations, branding, and related hotel services doing business as 'InnDependent Boutique Collection '(IBC Hotels). Initial success in providing reservations for an IHT operated independent hotel was substantial. As this independent hotel services opportunity and the size of this potential demand was increasingly recognized in the travel industry, IBC Hotels was sold in August 2018 to a foreign hotel company planning expansion of independent hotel reservations and services internationally. The new owner added additional hotels to the reservation system, further developed, updated, and improved then-existing software, and pursued an agreement with a large international internet hotel guest source. When Covid hit in early 2020 and travel virtually briefly, but almost completely came to a standstill in March 2020, the new owner was not in a position to continue operations pausing IBC Hotels reservation services. On March 5, 2025, REF , an investment entity owned by the chairman and family of IHT majority IHT shareholder, purchased IBC Hotels, LLC, and hired RRF LLLP, the management company subsidiary of InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT), to manage the rebirth of IBC, to benefit from the substantial unfulfilled need worldwide for independent hotel and resort reservations, Boutique branding, and related hotel services. In the process, RRF LLLP, a 76% owned subsidiary of IHT and manager of IHT hotels, was engaged as manager of IBC obtaining a five-year option to purchase, at cost, IBC Hotels, LLC. This option is believed to provide IHT a valuable opportunity, if successful, to profit from the revitalization of InnDependent Boutique Collection (IBC Hotels). IHT management believes that due to real estate held on the books of IHT at book values believed to be significantly below current market value and due to the high clean energy and IBC diversification profit potential ahead, the IHT future looks bright. IHT's strong hotel operating results are reflected in three of the four most recent Fiscal Years profitable, even after accounting for substantial non-cash depreciation expense. Fiscal Year 2026 extended IHT's uninterrupted, continuous annual dividends to 55 years, since initial NYSE listing in 1971. Semi-annual dividends were paid February 5, 2025, and are anticipated for August 4, 2025. The IHT Annual Shareholder Meeting has been announced, and will be held at the IHT Phoenix Corporate Office, on August 14, 2025, at 1 PM. For more information, visit and Forward-Looking Statements With the exception of historical information, matters discussed in this news release may include 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements regarding IHT's review and exploration of potential strategic, operational, and structural alternative diversification investments, and expected associated costs and benefits are forward-looking. Actual developments and business decisions may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, that could cause IHT's actual results and future actions to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements include economic effects of tariffs, the uncertain outcome, impact, effects and results of IHT's success in finding qualified purchasers for its hospitality real estate, or a reverse merger partner, the success of additional financing and timing of the UniGen clean energy, IBC, and other potential diversification innovations, the continuation of semi-annual dividends in the year(s) ahead, collections of receivables, and other risks discussed in IHT's SEC filings.
