SOUTH NORWALK, Conn., Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — JuiceBar®, a manufacturer of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations known for their sleek design and cutting-edge technology, announced today that their recently launched Gen 3 Level 2 40-amp electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) has earned ENERGY STAR certification.  

Electric vehicle chargers that have earned the ENERGY STAR label are the most energy efficient chargers in this fast-growing industry. Not only do they provide the highest levels of energy, but they are exceptionally efficient, passing the extremely strict ENERGY STAR criteria.   

To earn the ENERGY STAR label, electric vehicle chargers must conserve power when the product is not actively charging the vehicle. EV chargers are typically in standby mode (i.e., not actively charging a vehicle) for about 85% of the time. ENERGY STAR certified EV chargers provide all the functionality of standard stations but use 40% less energy in standby mode, reducing their impact on the environment. 

«JuiceBar’s mission is to build a national EV charging infrastructure that sustains the environment for future generations. Consistent with our mission to promote EV adoption, it is imperative that our EV charging technology is energy efficient,» said Paul Vosper, President and CEO of JuiceBar. «Our certification through ENERGY STAR recognizes the importance we have placed on providing our customers with energy efficient solutions.»

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers the ENERGY STAR program, which independently certifies products that use energy efficiently. ENERGY STAR certified companies and products are encouraged to work towards helping their customers improve efficiency and promote an energy management approach to help preserve the environment.

ENERGY STAR certified EV chargers meet a rigorous series of standards for energy efficiency and sustainability published by the US Department of Energy and certified by an independent Nationally Recognized Testing Lab.  This designation enables the use of the charger in conjunction with a host of Federal, State and Utility-issued charging infrastructure incentives designed to accelerate the transition to non-emitting electric vehicles. «It is important to us that JuiceBar customers recognize that in addition to supporting sustainability they can take advantage of multiple opportunities for cost saving incentives,» commented Vosper.

JuiceBar EV chargers are compatible with all electric vehicles, including Tesla. JuiceBar chargers are located in parking lots and garages of some of the country’s largest office buildings, malls, universities, hospitals, hotels, train stations and airports as well as supporting major fleet operators such as electric school buses and light and medium-duty vehicles. They can be found at municipal town halls and major tourist destinations such as national parks, museums and casinos. JuiceBar chargers are known for their speed, reliability, ease of use, durability, and unique safety features.

About JuiceBar
JuiceBar has been leading the EV Charger rEVolution since 2009 and is committed to building a global EV charging infrastructure that sustains the environment for future generations. Our chargers are deployed across >100 cities in the United States and Canada and are manufactured and assembled in the U.S.A.

US Private Equity Activity Rebounded to Healthy Levels in 2020 Despite COVID-19 Headwinds

SEATTLE, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — PitchBook, the premier data provider for the private and public equity markets, today released its <a target="_blank"…

SEATTLE, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — PitchBook, the premier data provider for the private and public equity markets, today released its 2020 Annual US PE Breakdown Report, which found that private equity (PE) dealmaking bounced back during the latter half of 2020 to finish the year on a high note despite a tumultuous March and April due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When traditional leveraged buyout activity for platforms effectively froze, sponsors quickly pivoted to put capital to work in add-ons, minority transactions, and into public companies. Exit activity followed a similar trajectory but fell even more during the crisis only to rebound more strongly, with exit value ending up year-over-year. As portfolio company marks tumbled, PE firms invested additional capital into their holdings and pushed out exit timeframes but a roaring public equitites market compelled PE firms to publicly list many gargantuan portfolio companies. Fundraising remained steadier than deals and exits between quarters but saw a more sizable drop year-over-year. Early pandemic-related difficulties, such as performing due diligence via videoconferencing, delayed many fundraising efforts. However, the largest and more established PE firms thrived as limited partners (LPs) reupped with existing relationships.

To download the full report and underlying data, click here.

«2020 was a rollercoaster of a year across the board but the private equity ecosystem proved resilient. Heading into 2021, dealmaking appears poised to continue its blistering pace seen during the back half of 2020 before normalizing in the later parts 2021,» said Wylie Fernyhough, senior analyst and PE team lead at PitchBook. «US PE firms are sitting on more than half a trillion dollars in dry powder and are antsy to put this capital to work as the American economy continues to recover. Buyouts in technology and healthcare will likely remain popular as will growth equity investments.»

Investment Activity

  • US PE investment activity totaled $708.4 billion across 5,309 deals by year-end 2020, year-over-year dips of 7.3% and 3.4% respectively. This marks the first year since 2009 that both dealmaking value and count diminished.
  • Growth equity was a standout performer in 2020, investing the highest deal value on record at $62.5 billion, up 8.8% from 2019. The largest growth equity deal in 2020 was a $3.5 billion investment by Harvest Partners, TA Associates and GI Partners into real estate and investment management SaaS company, MRI Software.
  • Add-ons also propelled deal activity in 2020, accounting for 72.5% of all buyouts, eclipsing 2019’s record to reach an all-time high. Although carveouts contributed less than a tenth of the overall deal count, several notable transactions were carved out from larger companies. DXC Technologies sold its state and local health and human services business to Veritas for $5.0 billion in 2020’s largest such deal.
  • Software has been a refuge for investors during the COVID-19 pandemic, as stay-at-home orders accelerated adoption of digital entertainment, ecommerce, education, and healthcare technologies and as companies continued to invest in productivity tools for their now primarily remote workforces.

Exit Activity

  • PE-backed exit value fared better than expected in 2020, reaching a combined $378.3 billion across 952 exits – a 6% increase in value and 14% decrease in count year-over-year.
  • Public listings were the preferred route for the largest exits in 2020 with eight of the 10 largest exits being public listings. A few of the largest public listings in 2020 include Dun & Bradstreet  at a $7.3 billion pre-money valuation, Sotera Health at a $5.3 billion billion pre-money valuation and Pharmaceutical Product Development which went public at a $7.5 billion pre-money valuation.
  • Roaring public equity markets made 2020 the year of the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), as these blank check companies raised more capital than in the previous decade combined, with well over 250 SPACs launched on US markets last year. Over the next few years, SPACs raised in 2020 may purchase PE-backed companies, providing another exit route going forward and potentially boosting future exit values.
  • Despite public listings and SPACs having a banner year, the pandemic sent sponsor-to-sponsor exits off a cliff in 2020 totaling approximately half the value of 2019 and dropping to 33.6% of overall PE exit value, even as the median sponsor-to-sponsor exit size continued climb.

Fundraising Activity

  • US PE fundraising dipped in 2020, with firms closing on 231 funds for a total of $203.2 billion – year-over-year declines of 38.4% and 36.6%, respectively. While fundraising was down, in part due to both a lack of mega-funds and virus-related issues, US PE firms still closed on a healthy amount of capital.
  • Most of the PE funds raised during the year had been planned pre-pandemic, and LPs re-up with established managers rather than risk placing capital with lesser-known entities. Similar to 2019, $5 billion+ vehicles amassed approximately half of the capital raised in 2020, but just 10 of these funds closed.
  • First-time funds faced an uphill fundraising battle in 2020, with first-time managers raising 25 funds totaling $5.7 billion – representing the lowest fundraising numbers since 2013. These funds accounted for approximately 10% of funds raised, a figure proportionate to the preceding five years, suggesting that LPs’ strong appetites for developing relationships with the top-performing managers of tomorrow has not waned.
  • With regards to mega-funds, one of the most noteworthy massive funds closure belonged to software-focused buyout shop Thoma Bravo, securing a combined $22.8 billion across three separate funds – $17.8 billion in its flagship Thoma Bravo Fund XIV, $3.9 billion in its Discover Fund III and $1.1 billion in its Explore Fund tallied $1.1 billion.

Itronics Expands its Rock Kleen Silver, Gold and Base Metal Recovery Technology

RENO, Nev., Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Itronics Inc. (OTC: ITRO) an emerging «Cleantech Materials» growth Company that manufactures GOLD’n GRO Multi-Nutrient Fertilizers and produces silver, zinc, and critical minerals recovered from industrial and mining waste, today reported it has developed a Rock Kleen process that combines Rock Kleen liquid and conventional gold recovery technologies to recover silver and gold from silver-gold leach tailings.

Rock Kleen is a revolutionary, disruptive…

RENO, Nev., Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Itronics Inc. (OTC: ITRO) an emerging «Cleantech Materials» growth Company that manufactures GOLD’n GRO Multi-Nutrient Fertilizers and produces silver, zinc, and critical minerals recovered from industrial and mining waste, today reported it has developed a Rock Kleen process that combines Rock Kleen liquid and conventional gold recovery technologies to recover silver and gold from silver-gold leach tailings.

Rock Kleen is a revolutionary, disruptive technology that recovers residual precious metals, including silver and gold, base and ferrous metals, nutrient materials, and industrial minerals from ‘sub-ore grade’ mine tailings. Rock Kleen also neutralizes 100 percent of any residual cyanide, used in original mining, rendering tailings cleaner than they were before processing.

Rock Kleen Technology is a potential «Zero Waste Energy Saving Technology,» recovering a high percentage of residual silver and gold, neutralizing residual cyanide, recovering residual nitrogen and the «critical minerals» manganese, magnesium, and potassium from silver-gold mine tailings.  For suitably located tailings piles, the rock itself may be saleable.

The new concept was developed as an outgrowth of laboratory testing that was recently completed to evaluate the leaching capabilities of the Rock Kleen Technology. Several mining companies have inquired about gold recoverability using Rock Kleen. Testing has confirmed that Rock Kleen including conventional gold recovery technologies makes it possible to optimize recovery of both silver and gold. The new processing concept neutralizes cyanide after use and leaves the rock without cyanide residuals, making this an environmentally desirable process without the negatives normally associated with cyanide use. 

Itronics has identified three potential projects that have a high silver to gold ratio and poor cyanide recovery of silver and gold. Two have had some testing to establish base line data, and testing completed to date indicates that it may be reasonable to expect 80-90 percent recovery of residual silver and gold. Actual results will be different for each project due to differences in tailings mineralogy and differences in the individual metals and minerals that can be recovered. Preliminary economic modeling of potential Rock Kleen projects indicates that the technology has the potential to significantly increase the dollar value of each ton of rock processed compared to conventional processing technology. This has the potential benefit of reducing the cut-off grade for purposes of defining ore which in many locations may make in place mineralized rock economic, and it may also make rock that is stored in overburden piles economic to process. This economic characteristic of the Rock Kleen Technology could lead to the revitalization of many former silver-gold mining districts. It also has the potential to extend the economic life of existing mines. 

«The new technology has the potential to «unlock» an enormous amount of value from mine waste materials that presently have either a zero value, or a negative value due to environmental protection requirements and related costs,» said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President. «This potential economic benefit is one of the features that makes the Rock Kleen Technology truly revolutionary.»

As development of Rock Kleen processing operations progresses, the Rock Kleen operations could provide a whole new source of virgin raw materials, not only to supply the metal industries and battery manufacturers, but also certain nutrient raw materials for the fertilizer industry and industrial mineral materials for many industries including the construction and ceramics industries and industries that use mineral fillers. Existing mines and tailings from previously operating mines will be the source of these new virgin raw materials, so it will not be necessary to build new mines to gain access to these materials. Because of this, the new Rock Kleen Technology may revolutionize the way some of our mineral raw materials are produced, while at the same time reducing the negative impacts of mining on the environment and maximizing sustainability.

BOSTON and TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — BitSight, the Standard in Security Ratings, and Kovrr, a leader in data-driven cyber risk modeling, today announced a partnership to deliver the industry’s most comprehensive data-driven cyber risk financial quantification solution for the insurance market. The BitSight-Kovrr Financial Quantification for Insurance Cyber Risk gives cyber insurers the tools required to make decisions more accurately and confidently about key areas of the cyber insurance business including underwriting, modeling, and portfolio management.

To begin the partnership, BitSight and Kovrr released a joint financial analysis of the impact of the unprecedented 2020 SolarWinds attack to the insurance industry, estimating the insured losses to be $90,000,000. This analysis was made possible by BitSight and Kovrr’s ability to identify unique breach elements as cost components, including the size, location, and industry of the organizations impacted by SolarWinds.

Together, BitSight and Kovrr are delivering a comprehensive end-to-end solution that allows cyber insurers globally to underwrite companies of any size, from any geography and industry; model individual risk and portfolio exposure; and engage insureds with detailed visibility into their security posture. The BitSight-Kovrr Financial Quantification of Cyber Risk combines BitSight’s industry-leading data and analytics on company-specific cybersecurity performance and fourth-party aggregate risk, with Kovrr’s advanced cyber risk multi-model technology to deliver the cyber insurance market’s most comprehensive, data-driven end-to-end solution for underwriting and portfolio management. Allianz Global Corporate and Specialty (AGCS) is one of the first insurance carriers that has selected BitSight and Kovrr to advance their own cyber insurance underwriting and portfolio risk management capabilities.

Cyber insurance claims are on the rise, driven by an increase in cyber-attacks from ransomware, phishing, third-party breaches and more. According to AON, U.S. cyber insurers saw a 10% loss ratio increase due to ransomware in 2019. Cyber insurers are forced to pay out more in claims than they had anticipated, leading to worsening loss ratios and ultimately, diminishing profitability. The BitSight-Kovrr Financial Quantification of Cyber Risk solves for the lack of historic and real-time security performance data on individual organizations, which has previously challenged cyber insurers to make informed underwriting decisions and negatively impacted risk modeling approaches.

«The cyber insurance market requires data that is specific, relevant, accurate, current, and transparent,» said Dave Fachetti, chief strategy officer at BitSight. «BitSight offers the most comprehensive externally observable data on organization security performance in the industry. The combination of BitSight’s data and analytics and Kovrr’s comprehensive, automated, and scalable modeling technology will be crucial to address the industry need for a more accurate and consistent approach to making key underwriting and portfolio management decisions related to cyber risk.»

Yakir Golan, CEO of Kovrr, stated, «Understanding and modeling the impact of major cyber incidents on an insurer’s portfolio is key for enabling further growth of the cyber insurance industry. The BitSight-Kovrr solution allows cyber insurers to fully operationalize initiatives from single risk underwriting to portfolio risk accumulation management. We’re excited to join forces with BitSight in support of the global insurance community.»
