Earnings Call Insights: RideNow Group, Inc. (RDNW) Q1 2026 Management view "The momentum we've created in our business over the back half of 2025 has continued into 2026," said (CEO, President & Chairman of the Board Michael Quartieri), adding, "our first quarter revenue totaled $260.4 million" and "adjusted EBITDA of $9.3 million" and calling it "our fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement." Quartieri framed execution and cost actions as central to the turnaround, saying, "we are in the early innings," and "remain laser-focused on improving what we can control within the 4 walls of our business," including "getting the right people, in the right place, at the right time." He also cited same-store momentum: "units sold in Q1 increased 16.3% and revenue increased 13.1%," and "same-store sales gross profit increased... 12.2%." Quartieri highlighted two developments with potential overhang removal and capital-structure implications, stating, "the SEC concluded its investigation and recommended no enforcement action against the company," and "we continue to make progress with our refinancing effort which I look forward to sharing more details in the coming weeks." Quartieri positioned inorganic growth as a next leg, saying, "we are well positioned to return to growth through highly accretive acquisitions, a key pillar of our value creation strategy going forward." (Executive VP & CFO Joshua Barsetti) attributed the quarter’s revenue change to mix and the exit of Wholesale Express, saying, "This increase was driven by higher sales of new and pre-owned retail vehicles" while "offsetting the revenue increase was a decrease of $5.5 million in our vehicle transportation services business which was wound down at the end of 2025." Barsetti also said, "Consolidated adjusted SG&A expenses were $60.4 million or 84.3% of gross profit, down 130 basis points" year-over-year. Outlook Quartieri tied 2026 performance expectations to profitability and cash generation, s...

Investor concern is mounting over a possible rollback of Japan’s corporate governance reforms, a key driver of foreign investment, threatening a rally that pushed equities to record levels. The Financial Services Agency is preparing its first revision in five years to the Corporate Governance Code, which has guided efforts to enhance corporate value at listed firms. It has reached out for public comment on the changes with the window closing Friday. Separately, the Ministry of Justice is seeking feedback through next week on proposed amendments to the Companies Act, which governs how firms are created, run and overseen. Expectations for governance reforms have fueled foreign inflows and lifted Japanese stocks, but draft revisions released by April have drawn criticism from some market participants who say corporate interests are strongly reflected. With investors and the business community divided, concerns are growing that reforms could lose momentum. “We are seeing a reversal in governance reform,” said Haruna Usui , head of ESG strategy at AllianceBernstein Japan Ltd., citing mounting resistance from corporate Japan, partly in response to rising pressure from activists for greater capital returns. “This could be a negative shock for Japanese equities.” Particular attention from global and domestic investors has focused on the Governance Code revision, amid high expectations that firms would be required to demonstrate effective use of cash. However, recent discussions suggest cash management will be referenced but not mandatory.

Jamie Allen , co-founder of the Asian Corporate Governance Association, whose members manage about $40 trillion in assets, also criticized the proposals, writing on his online newslet...

Billionaire Democrat Donor Who Bankrolled Swalwell Breaks Silence After Surprise Arrest Billionaire and Democrat donor Stephen Cloobeck was arrested Tuesday in Los Angeles on suspicion of felony charges of attempting to prevent or dissuade a victim or witness from testifying after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Cloobeck, founder of Diamond Resorts - who until recently was a major financial supporter of former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D) failed campaign for California governor , was booked into custody in West Hollywood, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department records. He was later released on $300,000 bail. In a terse statement to the California Post , a press representative for Cloobeck said of the arrest: “ These charges are false and we look forward to our day in cour t.” Cloobeck cut ties with Swalwell following multiple allegations of sexual assault - but not before the now-former congressman recorded a bizarre apology video from inside his swanky mansion. “I was with my counsel and we had a chat with him, I just told him, ‘You busted the trust,’” Cloobeck said of Swalwell at the time the allegations broke. “I’m shocked, I’m disturbed and get the fuck out of here.’ Then I walked away and that was it.” “I was blown away!” the billionaire claimed . “Like blown away. Like, there’s no way I would have endorsed him. It’s such a shock.” The billionaire, who briefly ran for governor himself last year before dropping out to support Swalwell, has since rebranded himself a Republican. “I am no longer supporting Eric. Fucking tell everyone I’m a libertarian. Fuck you, Democrat Party ,” he told the California Pos t. Cloobeck has also recently made headlines thanks to his 28-year-old fiancée, Penthouse Pet Adva Lavie, who faces six felony charges for allegedly preying on older men through dating apps. However, his lover’s legal troubles haven’t impacted the impending nuptials, according to the billionaire. His 28-year-old bride-to-be, Penthouse Pet Adva Lavi...

Rick Kern/Getty Images Entertainment Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom is considering a new tax that would target cloud-based software sales, according to a report by Bloomberg. The move would affect major software vendors such as Microsoft ( MSFT ), Salesforce ( CRM ), Adobe ( ADBE ), Oracle ( ORCL ), and ServiceNow ( NOW ), as well as AI companies like OpenAI ( OPENAI ) and Anthropic ( ANTHRO ). The proposal was revealed on Thursday as part of the governor's annual budget revision, the report said. The governor has proposed a sales tax of 7.25%. It would not target streaming services. "I'm at Best Buy often, and I'm paying sales tax on a lot of this pre-written software, and then I find out all my friends that aren't near a Best Buy, they're downloading it, and they're not paying sales tax," Newsom said, according to the report. "Well, how is that fair?" If approved, it is expected to raise $1.1B in the first year and $2B or more in subsequent years. About two dozen states already have taxes on software as a service. However, some offer discounts or exemptions for businesses. For example, in Connecticut, SaaS is taxable, but it is only taxed at 1% for businesses. In Iowa, SaaS is taxable but exempt for businesses, and in Ohio, it is taxable for businesses but non-taxable for personal use.
