TORONTO, Feb. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LAB | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce the results of its Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 11:00 A.M. (Toronto Time) at Gardiner Roberts LLP, Bay Adelaide Centre, East Tower, 22 Adelaide Street West, Suite 3600, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4E3 (the “Meeting”). A total of 83,756,898 Common Shares of the Corporation (“Common Shares”) representing 49.27% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the record date for the Meeting (January 15, 2026), were represented at the Meeting. Shareholders overwhelmingly voted in line with the Corporation’s recommendations on the BLUE Form of Proxy and BLUE Voting Instruction Form for the following matters voted on at the Meeting: The Corporation’s director nominees were elected with an average of 97.39% votes cast ‘FOR’, as follows: The results of other items of business presented by the Corporation at the Meeting passed, as follows: The Dissident Resolutions did not pass at the Meeting, as follows: “I am grateful for the overwhelming support of our shareholders, many of whom I engaged with throughout this proxy contest.”, said Roger Moss President and CEO of LabGold. “It was very clear to me that our shareholders did not want to be associated with Coloured Ties, who they believed was just trying to get control of our treasury for self-serving purposes. Now that the shareholder vote is behind us, I look forward to sharing more exploration updates in the future while working to create value for all our shareholders.” The formal report on voting results with respect to all matters voted upon at the Meeting will be filed under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. About Labrador Gold Corp. LabGold is a Canadian-based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in Eastern Canada. The recently announced Watson Project, a joint venture with Nemo Resources Inc., represents the largest landholding in the Fort Hope Greenstone Belt which is significantly underexplored compared to other greenstone belts (e.g. Red Lake and Pickle Lake) in northwestern Ontario. While the exploration focus will be on gold, the Watson project also hosts significant potential for critical minerals (e.g. antimony, nickel, copper and zinc). The proposed road to the Ring of Fire, expected to begin construction in mid-2026, runs through the Watson property and once complete, will significantly reduce exploration and development costs. The Hopedale property covers much of the Archean-age Florence Lake greenstone belt, which extends over 60 kilometers. While typical of greenstone belts globally, the area has been underexplored. LabGold’s work to date has identified gold anomalies in rocks, soils, and lake sediments across a three-kilometer section of the northern portion of the belt. Five gold occurrences lie along this trend, four of which were discovered by LabGold. Additional anomalous gold values occur across approximately 40 kilometers of the southern portion of the belt. Recent exploration has also demonstrated potential for copper, nickel, and cobalt. The Borden Lake project near Chapleau, Ontario lies immediately southeast of Discovery Silver Corp’s Borden gold mine. Past exploration by LabGold identified two anomalous gold zones based on geochemistry and geophysics. The Corporation has 170,009,979 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.

Taken together, these differentiated assets provide significant flexibility to pursue disciplined M&A and drive long-term shareholder value.” 1 This approximate cash and investments balance is unaudited and may be adjusted as a result of, among other things, completion of financial closing procedures and internal reviews. This financial information does not represent a comprehensive statement of the Company’s current financial results. Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results: Continuing Operations Following the announced sale of SomaLogic, Inc. (“SomaLogic”) and other specified assets to Illumina, Inc. (“Illumina”) in June 2025, which transaction closed in January 2026, all financial results in this section reflect continuing operations only. Revenue was $23.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, down 4% year-over-year. Consumables revenue was $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, down 17% year-over-year. Lower consumables revenue in the quarter reflected project funding declines primarily in flow and microfluidics. Instruments revenue was $8.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, up 10% year-over-year. Instrument revenue in the quarter reflected strong growth in imaging but overall remained impacted by capital-constrained end-markets, particularly in the Americas. Services revenue, which is predominantly Field Services, was $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, up 1% year-over-year. Lab Services revenue increased due to higher demand from pharmaceutical customers, offset by decreased Field Services revenue due to fewer active service contracts and lower on-demand revenue driven by improved instrument quality and uptime. Gross margins in the fourth quarter of 2025 were approximately 47.8%, versus 45.8% in the fourth quarter of 2024; and non-GAAP gross margins in the fourth quarter of 2025 were approximately 50.3%, versus 48.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The decrease in operating expenses was due to restructuring actions. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $13.9 million, compared to a net loss of $27.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a change of $41.1 million or 151%. The improvement primarily reflects a one-time, non-cash partial release of $38.4 million of the U.S. deferred tax valuation allowance, based on expected gains from the Sengenics and SomaLogic divestitures and our conclusion that this portion will be realized. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was a loss of $15.8 million, versus an adjusted EBITDA loss of $16.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, an improvement of $0.4 million, or 3%.

Instrument revenue in the year reflected growth in imaging but overall remained impacted by capital-constrained end-markets globally. Services revenue, which is predominantly Field Services, was $23.7 million in 2025, down 7% year-over-year. Lab Services revenue increased due to higher demand from pharmaceutical customers, offset by decreased Field Services revenue due to fewer active service contracts and lower on-demand revenue driven by improved instrument quality and uptime. Gross margins in 2025 were approximately 49.9%, versus 49.3% in 2024; and non-GAAP gross margins in 2025 were approximately 53.6%, versus 53.3% in 2024.

Operating expenses included $14.8 million in restructuring and related charges. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which exclude transaction costs, stock-based compensation, and restructuring charges, were $108.3 million in 2025, a decrease of $4.4 million, or down 4%, compared to 2024. The decrease in operating expenses was due to restructuring actions. Net loss for 2025 was $58.8 million, compared to a net loss of $90.9 million in 2024, representing an improvement of $32.1 million or 35%. The improvement primarily reflects a one-time, non-cash partial release of $38.4 million of the U.S. deferred tax valuation allowance, based on expected gains from the Sengenics and SomaLogic divestitures and our conclusion that this portion will be realized. Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 was a loss of $62.6 million, versus an adjusted EBITDA loss of $64.2 million in 2024, an improvement of $1.7 million, or 3%.

(Toronto Time) at Gardiner Roberts LLP, Bay Adelaide Centre, East Tower, 22 Adelaide Street West, Suite 3600, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4E3 (the “Meeting”). A total of 83,756,898 Common Shares of the Corporation (“Common Shares”) representing 49.27% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the record date for the Meeting (January 15, 2026), were represented at the Meeting.

Now that the shareholder vote is behind us, I look forward to sharing more exploration updates in the future while working to create value for all our shareholders.” The formal report on voting results with respect to all matters voted upon at the Meeting will be filed under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. About Labrador Gold Corp. LabGold is a Canadian-based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in Eastern Canada. The recently announced Watson Project, a joint venture with Nemo Resources Inc., represents the largest landholding in the Fort Hope Greenstone Belt which is significantly underexplored compared to other greenstone belts (e.g. Red Lake and Pickle Lake) in northwestern Ontario. While the exploration focus will be on gold, the Watson project also hosts significant potential for critical minerals (e.g. antimony, nickel, copper and zinc). The proposed road to the Ring of Fire, expected to begin construction in mid-2026, runs through the Watson property and once complete, will significantly reduce exploration and development costs. The Hopedale property covers much of the Archean-age Florence Lake greenstone belt, which extends over 60 kilometers. While typical of greenstone belts globally, the area has been underexplored. LabGold’s work to date has identified gold anomalies in rocks, soils, and lake sediments across a three-kilometer section of the northern portion of the belt. Five gold occurrences lie along this trend, four of which were discovered by LabGold. Additional anomalous gold values occur across approximately 40 kilometers of the southern portion of the belt. Recent exploration has also demonstrated potential for copper, nickel, and cobalt. The Borden Lake project near Chapleau, Ontario lies immediately southeast of Discovery Silver Corp’s Borden gold mine. Past exploration by LabGold identified two anomalous gold zones based on geochemistry and geophysics. The Corporation has 170,009,979 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.

Preliminary, unaudited combined company revenue for the full year 2025 of approximately $185 million; Revenue from continuing operations of approximately $85 million BOSTON, Jan. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Standard BioTools Inc. (NASDAQ: LAB) (“Standard BioTools” or the “Company”) today announced preliminary and unaudited revenue results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. Standard BioTools expects fourth quarter 2025 combined company revenue of approximately $56 million and revenue from continuing operations of approximately $24 million. For the full year 2025, the Company expects combined company revenue of approximately $185 million and revenue from continued operations of approximately $85 million. "Our 2025 performance reflected steady execution, ending the year above our guidance range and exceeding expectations for both combined and continuing operations,” said Michael Egholm, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Standard BioTools. “Amid a shifting macro backdrop, the team remained focused – managing what we could control to drive the business forward.” Dr. Egholm added, “We continued our path toward profitability, taking targeted actions to streamline the organization and sharpen our operating model. Grounded in continuous improvement, we optimized workflows, improved our cost structure and drove rigor across the Company. These efforts strengthened our foundation and leave us exiting the year a leaner organization and a more resilient business.” “As we look to 2026, the sale of SomaLogic to Illumina remains on track to close in the first half of the year. At close, we expect to have approximately $550 million in cash and a base business on its way to positive adjusted EBITDA — a combination that creates real strategic flexibility. With an experienced team, a simplified footprint and substantial cash, we are well positioned to pursue disciplined M&A as we work to build a diversified leader in life sciences." Standard BioTools plans to report its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results later this quarter, at which time the Company will discuss its full 2025 financial results in more detail and provide its outlook for 2026. The Company’s unaudited, preliminary 2025 revenue results are based on current expectations and may be adjusted as a result of, among other things, completion of annual audit procedures.
