HOUSTON, June 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Group 1 Automotive, Inc. ( GPI ), ("Group 1" or the "Company"), an international, Fortune 500 automotive retailer, today provided an operational update on its business for the second quarter 2020 and noted significantly improving market conditions and operating trends in May and June-to-date when compared to March and April, 2020. In late March, the company implemented major cost reductions as "shelter-in-place" orders dramatically curtailed operations and overall business levels. All of the Company's U.S. automotive retail dealership sales and service operations have been open since early May, with the exception of a small number of temporary facility closures due to instances of specific COVID-19 cases. Since that time, revenues for new vehicle sales and service have increased at a much faster rate than associated costs. As a result, U.S. operating profits are improving much faster than anticipated. | not-forward | www.thestreet.com | https://www.thestreet.com/press-releases/group-1-automotive-reports-second-quarter-2020-business-update-15358863 |

The biotech, which provided the technology and outlicensed the therapy to Pain 12 years ago, saw its shares plunge by 46%. Pain later did a deal with King Pharma, which was subsequently bought out by Pfizer. Remoxy, an extended-release version of oxycodone designed to leave a bad taste in the mouth of anyone who tried to chew the tablet for an illicit rush, had been one of the primary attractions for Pfizer when it bought out King for $3.6 billion. The FDA's second rejection for the therapy came as Pfizer was undergoing a huge reorganization of R&D, but until today the company seemed willing to endure heavy costs in an effort to build its pain drug portfolio, planning to wrap up its complete response to the FDA's rejection letter in the middle of next year--a full 7 years after the first rejection. | not-forward | www.fiercebiotech.com | https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/pfizer-finally-abandons-all-hope-remoxy-and-durect-pain-therapeutics-feel-sting |

Furthermore, we firmly believe that SolarCity's near term focus on cost reduction and cash flow breakeven is absolutely the right strategy—the Company is already the leader in both commercial and residential solar. Its technology and brand advantage coupled with its cost structure and low cost of capital position it to continue to grow in 2017 even if the federal investment tax credit steps down.

US Airways President and CEO Bruce Lakefield said the merger will ensure US Airways' long-term viability and the security of its employees. US Airways, which last year made its second trip into bankruptcy in two years, slashed worker pay by $1 billion a year and shed $3 billion in pension obligations. The Arlington, Va.-based carrier said its goal was to reinvent itself as a low-cost carrier like Jet Blue or America West. But even after the cost reductions, the airline struggled as fuel costs soared and low-fare competitors drove ticket prices down. America West, which was founded in 1983 and is based in Tempe, Ariz., operates flights across the country through its hubs in Phoenix and Las Vegas. When Parker took over as chief executive in 2001, America West was dogged by a reputation as a carrier that delayed flights, lost luggage and left customers waiting. | forward | www.aviationpros.com | https://www.aviationpros.com/home/news/10435174/us-airways-america-west-agree-to-merge |

After having clearly expressed for months its desire to get rid of Opel and its British affiliate, Vauxhall, which form the core of the company's European operations, GM, once the world's largest automaker, struck a tentative agreement with Magna in May, days ahead of seeking bankruptcy protection. But the potential deal has suffered tortuous setbacks, with GM and Berlin wanting to raise the bids, and a smaller GM emerging from bankruptcy-court reorganization in July under new leadership and stripped of assets. The parties reached an impasse last weekend, after the GM board of directors discussed the options for Opel but did not proceed with the Magna offer, backed by Berlin, or that of RHJ. While GM remained tight-lipped over the fate of Opel, German Chancellor Angela Merkel's government stepped up the pressure, calling on the US government, which owns more than 60% of GM, to push a resumption of negotiations with the automaker. | not-forward | www.industryweek.com | https://www.industryweek.com/public-policy/gm-may-try-keep-opel |

Revenue was $4.4 billion, up 10 percent from $4 billion. Some industry analysts say that even the extensive cost-cutting done by United since 2002 - whacking $7 billion off its annual expenditures - may not have gone far enough, particularly with rivals Delta Air Lines Inc. and Northwest Airlines Corp. now doing their own cost-slashing in bankruptcy court.

Luxury sports car maker Ferrari announced plans on Monday to shake up its leadership structure, in one of new boss Benedetto Vigna's first major moves, and said three top managers will leave the company.

Microsoft's announcement of a dramatic reorganization sparked a flurry of chatter in the blogosphere. The company's shift to a structure consisting of three major divisions came alongside news that Jim Allchin, the head of Windows development, will retire when Vista is released. The announcement of Allchin's upcoming exit alone was enough to get Microsoft watchers talking, since he has largely guided the direction Windows has taken over the years. But one of the newly formed divisions is leading to speculation about Microsoft's plans. That Microsoft has folded its MSN group into its platform product development group is a signal that the company is reacting to Google's dominance on the Web and will use the new group to compete in the realm of on-demand software. Whether the reorganization will be enough for Microsoft to carve out its place in the Web 2.0 world is up for debate. Many in the blogging community see the move as the death throes of an aging company. | not-forward | www.cnet.com | https://www.cnet.com/au/news/bloggers-debate-what-reorg-means-for-microsoft |

Alcatel-Lucent ( ALU ) says that roughly one of every seven workers will be let go as the telecom equipment giant makes a last-ditch effort to turn its business around. About 20% of the 10,000 job cuts will take place in North and South America, with the rest split between Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific region, where 3,800 people will lose their jobs. Alcatel-Lucent is headquartered in Paris, and CEO Michael Combes reportedly briefed French government officials on the cuts before announcing them publicly. Roughly 900 jobs will be lost in France, and the country's CFDT union has said it will fight for changes to the company's plan. The workforce reduction is a part of Alcatel-Lucent's Shift Plan, announced last June by its new Combes shortly after he took over as CEO. Combes wants to refocus the company on IP networking and mobile broadband by concentrating jobs and research dollars in those areas. | forward | www.rcrwireless.com | https://www.rcrwireless.com/article/20131008/infrastructure-2/alcatel-lucent-to-cut-10000-jobs |
Both Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F ) and General Motors Company (NYSE: GM ) seemed destined to go bankrupt during the recession because of a drastic reduction in automobile demand and a rapid deterioration in their finance arms. Amazingly, Ford pulled through without the need for a bailout, while GM was forced to seek $49.5 billion in government aid to help it pull through its reorganization. You might be of the opinion that a reorganized GM would therefore be in better shape than Ford because of the extra help it received from the U.S. government, but Ford still has quite a few tricks up its sleeve that could make it a very compelling buy. | not-forward | www.insidermonkey.com | http://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/ford-motor-company-f-can-it-muscle-higher-119490 |

Overall, sales growth from construction and energy & transportation segments enabled CAT to offset the decline in its mining segment sales.

What happened to 23andMe? 23andMe filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection back in March. Anne Wojcicki, who co-founded the company nearly two decades ago and served as its CEO stepped down. The San Francisco-based company said that it would look to sell "substantially all of its assets" through a court-approved reorganization plan. Wojcicki intends to bid on 23andMe as the company pursues a sale through the bankruptcy process. In a statement on social media, Wojcicki said that she resigned as CEO to be "in the best position" as an independent bidder. 23andMe said that filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection helps facilitate a sale of the company, meaning that it's seeking new ownership. The company said it wants to pull back on its real estate footprint and has asked the court to reject lease contracts in San Francisco and Sunnyvale, California, and elsewhere to help cut costs. But the company plans to keep operating during the process.
