Glory Star expected to further increase profitability

Published

on

Glory Star New Media Group, a Nasdaq-listed digital media platform and content-driven e-commerce company in China, is expected to be able to further increase its profitability with its growing market share and economy of scale.

The company reported a 15.8% growth in its Non-GAAP net income to US$16.9 million for the six-months ended June 30 from US$14.6 million in the same period of last year.

During the first half of this year, the company’s total revenues grew 144.6% to US$71.9 million from US$29.4 million, thanks to the increase in advertising revenues and Cheers e-Mall marketplace service revenue, primarily attributable to the development and promotion of its mobile and online businesses.

Income from operations surged 40.9% to US$16.2 million from US$11.5 million.

During the first half year of 2021, the company successfully grew its top and bottom lines as it allocated more resources to sales and marketing to augment its brand equity and fuel its long-term growth engine.

The company’s rising economy of scale will allow it to gradually reduce operating expenses and capitalize on the rising popularity of video content and deliver lasting shareholder value.

At the end of June 30, the number of downloads of the company’s Cheers App reached 215.6 million, up from 121 million a year earlier. The increase in the number, a key indicator of the attractiveness and usability of its Cheers App and its e-Mall platform traffic, showed that it had successfully converted viewers of its content to its Cheers App.

Average daily active users (DAUs) of the app grew to 7.1 million from 4.5 million for the same period. Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) on its Cheers e-Mall platform jumped to 231,630 from 19,984.

Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of the Cheers App reached US$181.2 million in the first six months of this year, compared with US$20 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in GMV was driven significantly by its ability to attract and retain users to its Cheers App through its professionally produced content and its ability to further enhance its product offerings.

The company has a strong commitment to its corporate mission, meticulous execution of growth strategies, methodical expansion in both overseas and domestic markets, proactive engagement of Generation Z users through innovative products, and prudent investment in sales and marketing initiatives. It plans to refine its competitive edge in content-driven e-commerce of premium lifestyle, deepen our expertise in integrating quality content with lifestyle commerce, and expand our brand influence among Generation Z consumers on a global basis.

During the first half year, the resurgence of Covid-19 and its Delta variant caused the Chinese government to impose travel restrictions within mainland China, particularly in the southern regions of the country.

The company temporarily suspended the production of its traditional “Cheers Series” TV programs, thus resulting in a decline in its cost of revenues during the first six month of 2021. Once the travel restrictions are eased, the company will resume its content production activities in the second half of this year.

As of June 30, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents of US$20.3 million, compared with US$17.7 million at the end of last year.

Blockchain and AI technologies

Since its establishment in 2016, Glory Star has pioneered a unique, new business model integrating e-commerce services with premium video content. With the use of blockchain and AI technologies in its systems, the company has become a leading online digital media and entertainment company in China, with a strong track record both in terms of viewership and production capabilities. The company launched its Cheers App in 2018 to integrate e-commerce services with professionally generated content (PGC).

During the first half, the company produced many more live streaming shows and started to provide title sponsor advertising services at a higher price point. It also spent substantially on the development of the Cheers Chat and Cheers Car.

The company plans to provide more user-generated content (UGC) by forming partnerships with other platforms. It will allow global users to upload their content to its video platforms in the fourth quarter of this year while users will receive advertising revenue or get rewards from viewers directly.

The company will also allow content providers to use its software-as-a-service (SaaS) supply chain system with the blockchain technology that will help them match with relevant merchandisers. Content providers will be able to share the revenue from the sales of products on their video accounts.

The company’s ability to integrate premium lifestyle content, including short videos, online variety shows, online dramas, live streaming, its Cheers lifestyle video series, e-Mall, and mobile app, along with innovative e-commerce offerings on its platform enables it to pursue its mission of enriching people’s lives.

Its large and active user base has created valuable engagement opportunities with consumers and enhanced platform stickiness with thousands of domestic and international brands.

Non-fungible token

Glory Star’s Naschain platform offers one-stop solutions, which include smart contract, multichain universe and cross-chain consensus mechanisms, to users with its blockchain technology. It can help e-shoppers trace the origins of the products, avoid buying counterfeit goods, lower their logistics costs and protect their privacy.

The company has signed an agreement with the Beijing Minsheng Art Museum to use the company’s non-fungible token (NFT) technology, which can be used in copy-rights’ registration, verification, transaction and valuation, to protect the intellectual property of the museum’s artworks. The company will be able to boost its market share by acquiring some NFT service providers.

Brian Hagerty Brings Proven Service Industry Leadership and Operational Expertise to Next Chapter

Published

March 12, 2026

By

South Carolina, USA, 12th March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Brian Hagerty, an experienced service industry leader and former district manager, is announcing his availability for new professional opportunities following a career built on operational consistency, team development, and frontline execution.

Raised in Monroe Township, New Jersey, Hagerty graduated from Monroe Township High School before continuing his education at Coastal Carolina University. During his early years, he developed a strong foundation in discipline and teamwork through competitive soccer and track. He also cultivated a lifelong interest in music, playing both guitar and piano.

Hagerty built the core of his career in the restaurant industry, most notably at Waffle House, where he advanced to District Manager. In that capacity, he oversaw multiple locations, focusing on daily operations, associate training, staffing strategy, and performance standards.

“My focus has always been simple,” Hagerty said. “Clear standards, strong training, and consistent execution. When those three are in place, teams perform better, and customers notice.”

As District Manager, Hagerty emphasized structured onboarding, repeatable systems, and in-store leadership presence. He worked directly with shift leaders and associates to ensure operational consistency across locations. His approach centered on measurable performance indicators such as labor control, shift efficiency, service speed, and customer experience.

“I believe leadership happens on the floor, not behind a desk,” he said. “You have to see operations in real time to understand what needs to improve.”

Following his management tenure, Hagerty transitioned into a professional bartending role, returning to direct customer service while applying the same operational discipline he developed in management. Known for reliability and professionalism, he maintained a focus on preparation, organization, and guest experience.

“Bartending is still operational,” Hagerty explained. “You manage timing, communication, and quality all at once. The fundamentals don’t change.”

Throughout his career, Hagerty has concentrated on service industry fundamentals: associate training, accountability, workflow efficiency, and culture development. He believes that sustainable performance depends on preparation and clarity rather than reactive management.

“Training protects the business,” he said. “If you prepare people properly from day one, you reduce long-term problems.”

In addition to his professional experience, Hagerty supported St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during his college years, reflecting an early commitment to community engagement. Outside of work, he spends time with his children and enjoys nature, the beach, and playing music.

As he evaluates his next professional chapter, Hagerty is seeking opportunities where operational leadership, team development, and service excellence are core priorities. His background spans both multi-unit management and frontline hospitality execution, giving him perspective across organizational levels.

“The service industry moves fast,” he said. “But the fundamentals are steady. Respect people. Maintain standards. Stay consistent.”

Hagerty remains open to leadership, training, and operations-focused roles within hospitality and related service environments.

A Mathematician’s Perspective: The MatrixFlow Model Behind Feather Exchange

Published

8 hours ago

March 12, 2026

By

In modern financial markets, mathematics has long served as the invisible framework behind stability, efficiency, and long-term growth. From options pricing to high-frequency trading algorithms, many of the world’s most successful financial systems are built upon carefully structured mathematical models. Feather Exchange is applying this same philosophy to cryptocurrency trading through a system it calls MatrixFlow.

For mathematicians analyzing financial systems, the most intriguing aspect of MatrixFlow is its attempt to bring predictability into a market historically defined by volatility. Rather than leaving price movements entirely to unpredictable swings in speculation, Feather Exchange introduces a structured framework where market progression follows clearly defined mathematical boundaries.

The foundation of the system begins with a guaranteed baseline known as the Minimum Daily Price Rise. Each trading day establishes a structural upward movement expressed mathematically as:

Pₜ = Pₜ₋₁ + 0.02

where Pₜ represents the current trading day’s base price and Pₜ₋₁ represents the previous day’s closing price. This formula creates a minimum progression of 0.02 USDT per day, ensuring that the market maintains a consistent forward trajectory over time.

Once this baseline movement is achieved, additional trading activity can push the price higher within a controlled range. The MatrixFlow system defines a daily expansion boundary using the formula:

Pmax = (Pₜ₋₁ + 0.02) × 1.01

This establishes a daily ceiling where the total market expansion cannot exceed one percent beyond the minimum daily progression. From a mathematical standpoint, this creates a bounded growth corridor that allows healthy price discovery while preventing destabilizing spikes.

Beyond price progression, Feather Exchange introduces another mathematically structured mechanism that analysts find particularly innovative: the Feather Escrow Pool. Within this system, participants are able to acquire FTR tokens at a 50 percent discount relative to the previous day’s highest traded price.

This relationship can be expressed simply as:

Escrow Purchase Price = 0.5 × Hₜ₋₁

where Hₜ₋₁ represents the highest traded market price recorded on the previous trading day.

From a financial engineering perspective, this creates a fascinating market dynamic. Traders are given an opportunity to access discounted tokens tied directly to the historical market price, while the structured release of escrow tokens ensures that supply enters circulation in a controlled and transparent manner.

When combined with the price progression framework, the system forms a feedback structure where trading activity, market price, and token distribution reinforce one another. The long-term price trajectory of the system can be approximated by the progression:

Pₙ ≈ P₀ + (0.02 × n)

where n represents the number of trading days. While the actual market price may fluctuate within its daily corridor, the structural baseline ensures continued forward movement.

For mathematicians studying market design, the significance of MatrixFlow lies in its attempt to transform cryptocurrency trading from a purely speculative environment into one governed by defined economic rules. Markets that operate entirely without structure often experience violent boom-and-bust cycles. By contrast, systems built around predictable mathematical relationships tend to encourage longer-term participation and greater ecosystem stability.

Feather Exchange appears to be applying this philosophy directly into its trading architecture. Instead of relying solely on market sentiment, the platform introduces formulas that guide how price progression, supply release, and discounted participation interact within the ecosystem.

As the exchange prepares for its upcoming 2026 Shareholder Pre-Launch Event, analysts are beginning to examine whether structured systems like MatrixFlow could represent an important step forward in digital asset exchange design.

For mathematicians observing the evolution of financial markets, the concept behind MatrixFlow raises an important possibility: that the next generation of crypto exchanges may not be defined by speculation alone, but by carefully engineered economic structures where mathematics becomes the foundation of sustainable trading.
