Rügenwalder Mühle kürt das Saarland zum "Meister des Feierabends"

Ein Dokument

Bad Zwischenahn (ots)

Der Feierabend ist für viele Menschen ein unverzichtbarer Moment des Tages: Er steht für Zeit zum Abschalten, für Familie, Freund:innen und Gemeinschaft. Für die Rügenwalder Mühle ist dieser eng mit Genuss, gemeinsamer Zeit und alltäglichen Routinen verbunden. Mit dem "Feierabend Monitor"* hat das Unternehmen deshalb untersucht, welche Bedeutung dieser Moment heute für Menschen in Deutschland hat. Die Ergebnisse zeigen: Zwischen dem Wunsch nach Ruhe und der gelebten Realität liegt für viele Menschen spürbar Raum. Gleichzeitig zeigt die Studie, welche kleinen Rituale den Übergang in die freie Zeit erleichtern können. Besonders sichtbar wird das im Saarland, das die Rügenwalder Mühle dafür zum "Meister des Feierabends" kürt.

Wie erleben Menschen in Deutschland ihren Feierabend heute? Welche Bedeutung hat er für sie, wie gestalten sie ihn und was hilft ihnen beim Abschalten? Diesen Fragen geht der "Feierabend Monitor" nach, eine bundesweite, repräsentative Befragung von september Strategie & Forschung im Auftrag der Rügenwalder Mühle.

Der Feierabend hat für Menschen in Deutschland eine hohe emotionale Bedeutung. Für 74 Prozent der Befragten bildet er einen wichtigen Rückzugsort. 63 Prozent verbinden ihn mit Zeit für Menschen, die ihnen wichtig sind. Für 85 Prozent gehört das Abendessen fest dazu. Gleichzeitig reicht für 40 Prozent ein Feierabend oft nicht aus, um wirklich abzuschalten. Private Sorgen erschweren dies für 50 Prozent, innere Unruhe für 45 Prozent und offene To-dos für 42 Prozent.

Die Ergebnisse zeigen auch regionale Unterschiede: Die Saarländer verstehen es mehr als alle anderen Deutschen, den Feierabend wirklich zu genießen. Die Befragten aus dem Bundesland berichten besonders häufig von festen Ritualen, die ihnen beim Ankommen und Abschalten helfen: bequeme Kleidung (68 % vs. 52 % deutschlandweit), Zeit an der frischen Luft (43 % vs. 27 %) oder einfach einen Moment zum Chillen (52 % vs. 43 %).

Was Deutschland vom Saarland lernen kann

Der Blick ins Saarland macht sichtbar, wie kleine, wiederkehrende Rituale den Übergang von Arbeit und Alltag in die freie Zeit markieren können. Dazu passt ein regionales Selbstverständnis, in dem Arbeit, Genuss und gemeinsame Zeit fest zusammengehören. Die selbstironische Redewendung "Hauptsach gudd gess, geschafft hann mir schnell" (Hochdeutsch: 'Hauptsache, wir haben gut gegessen; gearbeitet haben wir schnell.') bringt das auf den Punkt: Arbeit gehört dazu, gutes Essen, Lebensfreude und Humor aber ebenso. Ein Beispiel ist das saarländische "Schwenken". Bei dieser gelebten Grill-Tradition geht es nicht nur um das Essen, sondern auch um Draußensein, Zusammensitzen und Gespräche.

"Die Saarländer:innen haben den Feierabend nicht erfunden. Aber sie haben viele Rituale, die aus freier Zeit tatsächlich Feierabend machen. Genau diese unkomplizierte Art verbinde ich mit der regionalen Kultur", erklärt Claudia Hauschild, Leiterin Unternehmenskommunikation und Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement bei der Rügenwalder Mühle und selbst gebürtige Saarländerin. "Unser Feierabend Monitor zeigt, welchen Stellenwert solche kleinen Rituale für den Übergang in die freie Zeit haben können."

Mit der Auszeichnung "Meister des Feierabends" will die Rügenwalder Mühle nicht die Blaupause für den perfekten Feierabend liefern. Eher geht es darum, den Blick auf eine Region und ihre Bevölkerung zu lenken, die sich mit kleinen Gewohnheiten bewusst Raum für Freizeit gibt - und damit beispielhaft zeigt, wie Feierabend im Alltag gelingen kann.

Warum der Feierabend für Deutschland wichtig bleibt

"Der Feierabend Monitor zeigt, welche emotionale Bedeutung und psychologische Relevanz der Feierabend für die Menschen in Deutschland hat", sagt Eva Bock, Managing Partner von september Strategie & Forschung. "Gleichzeitig zeigt er eine klare Schieflage: Zwischen dem Wunsch, abends wirklich abzuschalten, und der gelebten Realität liegt für viele Befragte spürbar Raum."

Für die Rügenwalder Mühle ist der Feierabend fest in der Markenpositionierung verankert. Die Marke steht für kleine Genussmomente, die Menschen zusammenbringen und dem Alltag Leichtigkeit geben. Mit dem "Feierabend Monitor" richtet sie den Blick auf die Bedeutung des Feierabends im Alltag der Menschen in Deutschland.

BlueNord Announces Third Quarter of 2026 Results

News provided by

BlueNord ASA

Oct 28, 2026, 02:21 ET

OSLO, Norway, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueNord ASA ("BlueNord" or the "Company") has today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2026, reflecting an overall strong performance both operationally and financially, mainly driven by higher production and favourable commodity prices.

Highlights:

- Net hydrocarbon production of 43.6 mboepd with Tyra reaching peak production levels of c. 30mboepd during the quarter and stability improving significantly

- Total revenues of USD 346 million in the third quarter, up from USD 276.8 million in the previous quarter

- EBITDA of USD 219.6 million in Q3 compared to USD 146.8 million in Q2

- Available liquidity of USD 392.8 million, with cash on balance sheet of USD 131.3 million and undrawn RBL capacity of USD 261 million

- Proposed statutory merger with VÃ¥r Energi ASA announced and approved by shareholders

Operational

BlueNord delivered a total net production of 43.6 mboepd in the third quarter of 2026, reflecting the successfully planned maintenance shutdowns at both the Tyra and Gorm hubs earlier in the summer. The Tyra hub significantly improved its stability and capacity after the planned June shutdown. A step change in production was observed with gas production around export capacity, and production reaching c. 30 mboepd during the quarter.

Financials

Revenue for the quarter was USD 346 million, primarily driven by higher oil and gas sales volumes and increased commodity prices, partly offset by a higher hedge effect. EBITDA was USD 219.6 million, with net operating cash flow of USD 69.7 million (USD 212 million before working capital and tax payments). During the quarter, the BNOR18 bonds were listed on Oslo Stock Exchange.

Transaction with VÃ¥r Energi

On 21 July 2026, VÃ¥r Energi ASA and BlueNord ASA announced a proposed statutory merger of which VÃ¥r Energi's 100% owned subsidiary is the surviving entity. The proposed merger and merger plan was approved by BlueNord's shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting on 24 August 2026. BlueNord shareholders will receive 9.7153 newly issued shares in VÃ¥r Energi and NOK 76.83 in cash per share. BlueNord's shareholders will also be compensated for dividends in VÃ¥r Energi declared before the merger completion, in accordance with the merger plan. Closing of the transaction is expected around the year-end 2026, subject to several conditions' precedent, including regulatory and governmental approvals as outlined in the merger plan.

"Our shareholders approved the merger with VÃ¥r Energi in August, and BlueNord is now approaching the end of its journey as an independent company. We can look back on it with real satisfaction. Since we acquired our interest in the DUC in 2019, Tyra has been redeveloped and brought back into production, and we have returned substantial cash to our shareholders.

Our success as a standalone company provides a strong foundation for BlueNord's next chapter. As part of VÃ¥r Energi, we believe our shareholders will benefit from greater scale and diversification while continuing our shared commitment to maximising operational performance and delivering long-term returns. The combination offers an opportunity to build on what both companies have achieved independently, and we are working through the remaining steps to completion. We expect the merger to close around the end of the year.

This quarter Tyra delivered a step change in performance. Following the planned maintenance campaign in June we saw record production days close to 30 mboepd and gas export at maximum capacity. Until completion our focus is unchanged: running the business well and working to complete the transaction.

Finally, I want to thank everyone at BlueNord for what they have delivered, and our shareholders for their support," said Euan Shirlaw, Chief Executive Officer of BlueNord.

The report and investor presentation may be downloaded from the Company's website www.bluenord.com or www.newsweb.no.

The Company will host a webcast today at 10:00 CEST. To join webcast: https://qcnl.tv/p/2ajQ7ZelImSeTV4sBh-NBQ

OSLO, Norway, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aker Solutions continued to deliver solid financial results in the third quarter of 2026. Several milestones have been met across the project portfolio in the period. The company now expects 2026 revenue to be between NOK 53 and 55 billion with an EBITDA margin between 7.5 and 8.0 percent excluding net profit from SLB OneSubsea.

"During the quarter, we have met several important milestones in our project portfolio. Combined with solid financial performance, this reflects the expertise and dedication of our people", said Paal Eikeseth, Chief Executive Officer of Aker Solutions.

"At the same time, we are transforming how we execute projects. By standardizing solutions, moving from documents to data and applying decades of project knowledge to AI-supported digital tools, we are building a more agile, efficient and competitive Aker Solutions", said Eikeseth.

Key Developments

Revenue in the third quarter was NOK 13.5 billion, in line with expectations following peak activity in 2025. Underlying EBITDA was NOK 1.3 billion and EBITDA margin for the quarter was 9.6 percent, or 7.7 percent excluding net profit from SLB OneSubsea. Order intake for the quarter was NOK 5.4 billion, and the secured backlog at the end of the quarter stood at NOK 69.3 billion.

Operationally, Aker Solutions met several important milestones in its project portfolio, including the sail-away of Aker BP's Valhall PWP and Hugin B topside platforms. In addition, the Life Cycle segment delivered strong operational performance across their portfolio of frame agreements and modification projects.

SLB OneSubsea, where Aker Solutions owns 20 percent, also delivered improved financial results. Revenue was USD 1.1 billion, an increase of 12 percent compared to the same period last year. The underlying EBITDA margin in the quarter was 18.5 percent. SLB OneSubsea is on track to deliver on its order intake ambitions, positioning the company for growth from 2027 onwards. Based on its robust financial position, SLB OneSubsea is expected to distribute dividends of around USD 400 million to its shareholders in 2026, in line with full-year distribution in 2025.

Outlook and Guidance

Aker Solutions expects full-year 2026 revenue to be between NOK 53 and 55 billion, with an EBITDA margin between 7.5 and 8.0 percent excluding net profit from SLB OneSubsea.

For 2027, Aker Solutions expects revenue to decline to between NOK 35 and 40 billion, with an EBITDA margin between 7.0 and 8.0 percent excluding net profit from SLB OneSubsea.

Aker Solutions is taking action to reshape the business, reduce the cost base and align capacity with the lower activity expected in 2027, while improving competitiveness.

Jiahui Launches International Cell Therapy Center to Expand Global Access to CAR-T Treatment

SHANGHAI, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jiahui International Hospital launched Jiahui International Cell Therapy Center, building on landmark CAR-T cases and multidisciplinary expertise to serve patients from China and abroad.

The center was unveiled at the inaugural Jiahui International Cell Therapy Summit on October 23, hosted by Jiahui International Hospital and co-organized by Jiahui Medical Research & Education Group (J-Med). The event attracted livestream viewing registrations from 14 countries and regions.

Prof. HAO Siguo, Chief of Hematology at Jiahui International Cancer Center (JICC), and Prof. XUAN Linli, Chief of Medical Oncology at JICC, joined experts discussing cellular therapies for blood cancers, solid tumors and autoimmune diseases.

Eric J. Rubin, Editor-in-Chief of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), noted that NEJM published one research article by Chinese scholars a decade ago, compared with more than 20 in 2026. Prof. John K. HSIANG, Chairman of Jiahui Health Executive Committee, highlighted China's advances in medical innovation.

JICC has established a track record of pioneering CAR-T treatments and encouraging long-term patient outcomes. In September 2023, JICC treated China's first international patient to receive axicabtagene ciloleucel (Axi-Cel) CAR-T therapy, a Singaporean woman with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, who remains relapse-free more than three years after treatment. Building on this milestone, JICC has provided CAR-T treatment to patients from Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, Russia, Hungary, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, the Maldives and other countries and regions. Following China's June 2026 approval of Satri-cel (CT041), the world's first CAR-T therapy approved for solid tumors, Jiahui became one of the first institutions to introduce it clinically and treated the world's first international recipientâa 59-year-old New Zealand patient with advanced gastroduodenal cancer.

Prof. Allen WU, President of Jiahui International Hospital, said growing international demand helped drive the center's launch. The hospital provides nearly 500,000 patient visits annually to people from 180 countries and regions. The new center will link research and clinical care through multidisciplinary expertise and international patient services.

"All Access with Andy Garcia" Explores Data Loss Prevention and Recovery with Secure Data Recovery Services

Educational segment examines how preparation, backup strategies, and specialized recovery services help protect individual and business data amid rising vulnerabilities.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "All Access with Andy Garcia" features Secure Data Recovery Services in an educational segment that highlights the critical importance of professional data recovery solutions in an era of growing digital vulnerability. Filmed on May 21, 2026, the segment began commercial and Public Television distribution in September 2026.

Family photos, professional records, and business systems all depend on digital storage that can be affected by hardware failure, human error, or ransomware. The segment examines the importance of planning before an incident occurs, including establishing backup strategies and testing response plans. Viewers learn how preparation can help limit disruption and reduce the risk of permanent loss.

The series takes viewers inside the specialized science of recovering data from damaged or compromised devices, and explains why preparation matters before a crisis occurs. Secure Data Recovery shares insights into cleanroom recovery for storage devices, ransomware recovery techniques, and the research required to understand evolving storage technologies. As devices become more complex, the company's specialists study how storage technologies are designed and behave, developing recovery methods before customers need them.

The company's work also reveals how recovery experience can inform prevention. The need to return recovered files securely inspired the development of hardware-encrypted drives, while lessons with ransomware recovery reinforced the importance of user education and disaster recovery planning. From creating and storing information to recovering it, and ultimately securely destroying it, the segment offers a broader look at responsible data management. As the company's staff emphasize, data loss is not a question of "if," but "when," making informed preparation an essential part of protecting valuable digital assets.

"Being featured on All Access is a testament to our entire team's dedication," said Sergey Gulyayev, CEO of Secure Data Recovery. "We are committed to providing the highest level of service to our clients when they are most vulnerable, and we are honored that this commitment has been recognized by such a respected outlet." He added: "We invest in client education and preparedness; the best outcome for everyone is a client who never needs emergency recovery because they had the right strategy in place."

OLX Group launches Agentic Selling and DealFinder as research shows customers want AI they can trust

OLX Group now runs 14 agentic solutions live across its 16 marketplaces

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OLX Group, a global online classifieds leader with nearly 60 million daily listings across 11 brands in seven markets, has unveiled two new AI-powered tools that make buying and selling simpler: Agentic Selling and DealFinder. Both were presented at CLAIM Online 2026, OLX's future of marketplaces summit on 27 October. They arrive alongside new research showing that people use AI widely but still want transparency and the final say on decisions that matter to them.

OLX has been building AI into its marketplaces for more than eight years. It now has 86 live Machine Learning use cases, 28 live GenAI use cases and 14 agentic solutions in-market. Its platforms draw on over 20 years of relationships with dealers and realtors, and on verified marketplace data that generic AI models cannot access.

AI that handles the complexity, with people in control

Agentic Selling, now live for 20% of private sellers on Otodom in Poland, helps people list, manage and sell their properties. It guides sellers along a clear process, from valuation to posting.

DealFinder, currently being scaled after a beta test period in Portugal with 2,000 users, is a buyer-side assistant on WhatsApp. It finds items, sets price and item alerts, and accepts searches by text, image or voice. In beta testing, the assistant achieved an 18% conversion rate to contact.

Andreas Merentitis, Chief Data Officer at OLX, said: "Agentic Selling and DealFinder follow one principle: AI should handle the complexity, while people make the decisions that matter. We built both tools with the customer's question at the centre, and we measure them against whether people trust the outcome. Speed matters in agentic AI, but trust is what makes it useful."

Using AI is not the same as trusting it

Alongside the launch, OLX Group has published two surveys about AI in two of life's biggest decisions: finding work and finding a home.

Among 18-to-29-year-olds in Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Germany and France:

- 92â96% use AI tools in their personal lives, yet fewer than 41% feel ready for changes in the labour market

- Men rate their AI skills more highly than women, though concern about AI's impact on careers is the same for both (31%)

- Poland is the most cautious market: 37% of young people report high or very high concern about AI and automation

OLX's career tools already help young people close this gap: CV Optimiser, which reads role requirements to help candidates refine, structure and tailor their CV, and AI Interviewer, which runs more than 1,000 practice interviews a month and gives candidates actionable feedback before they meet a hiring manager. The two agentic career tools, showcased during the summit, have received positive reviews from early users, with 88% of users reporting that they found the CV Optimiser tool useful, and 90% shared that they love the AI interviewer tool.

Among thousands of home seekers using OLX platforms in Romania, Poland and Portugal:

- Alerts for matching listings and side-by-side comparison tools are the most requested AI features

- Only 5% would trust an AI valuation over a human agent's estimate, while 36% trust the realtor's estimate

- 78% want AI-altered listings disclosed

Reflecting this preference for human expertise, OLX designs tools like Agentic Selling to provide transparent, data-backed pricing guidance and listing drafts while keeping final pricing and disclosure decisions entirely in the seller's hands.

Christian Gisy, CEO of OLX Group, commented: "People are already using AI for big decisions on our platforms, and they are right to ask whether it works for them. Adoption shows who has tried AI, but it doesn't show whether they trust the outcome. Our surveys show people want to see why a tool makes a recommendation and keep the final call, and that is the standard we hold ourselves to on every platform."

Covalent Equity Partners Invests in AML Analytics, the Global Benchmark in Financial Crime Defense Testing

Growth investment will accelerate AI-powered testing, scale global operations, and extend AMLA's proprietary data to tier-one banks and regulators worldwide

LONDON and MIAMI, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AML Analytics ("AMLA" or the "Company"), the global authority in independent testing, validation, and risk analytics for financial crime defenses, today announced a significant growth investment from Covalent Equity Partners ("Covalent"), a private equity firm purpose-built to accelerate market-leading technology platforms in the AI era.

Founded in 2010, AML Analytics is trusted by more than 50 supervisory authorities and over 1,450 financial institutions across nearly 60 countries. Having independently evaluated thousands of financial crime systems and architectures, AMLA's platform provides regulators and global institutions with empirical ground truth to measure, tune, and verify AML systems. Autonomous agentic finance and generative technologies are rapidly widening the attack surface for illicit finance, and AMLA's authoritative reference datasets and independent benchmarks are essential to the integrity of the global market.

Covalent's capital and operational partnership will accelerate AMLA's engineering roadmap, introduce next-generation testing engines, and expand the Company's global footprint. Justin Holder will continue to lead the business as Founder and Group CEO alongside the existing leadership team.

"From day one, our mission has been to give the defenders of the financial system the empirical tools to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated threats. Covalent shares our conviction and brings deep sector and operational expertise, which will help us scale that mission to more institutions and regulators worldwide," said Justin Holder, Founder and Group CEO of AML Analytics.

"Justin and his entrepreneurial team have built an essential institution trusted by central banks and global tier-one institutions alike. We look forward to supporting AMLA in scaling their platform and safeguarding the financial system in the age of agentic finance," said John Woyton, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Covalent Equity Partners. "AMLA represents exactly what Covalent was created to back: a mission-critical platform with a strong data moat, made even stronger by AI."

"AI is supercharging the growth of financial crime's surface area, outpacing the defenses built to contain it," said Quinlan Fang, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Covalent Equity Partners. "AMLA's 15+ years of independent fieldwork have produced a proprietary dataset and earned the trust of regulators and financial institutions worldwide. That combination is rare, and it is the foundation for the solutions AMLA is building to define the next era of defending the global financial system."

FT Partners acted as financial advisor and Mills & Reeve served as legal counsel to AMLA. McGuireWoods served as legal counsel and Code & Co served as technology and AI advisor to Covalent.
