TAMA HOME CO LTD by TAMA HOME CO LTD.

Prominent investors Ben Horowitz and Marc Andreessen sharply criticized the Biden administration&#8217;s regulatory approach to crypto, accusing federal regulators of lying about consumer protection motives while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41883348/donald-trump-cant-fire-gary-gensler-but-pro-crypto-policies-means-industry-is-on-the-verge-of-a-golden-era">enabling damaging market practices</a>.
What Happened: In a <a href="https://x.com/AutismCapital/status/1856534160049086547">conversation</a> on the Ben &amp; Marc show, Horowitz stated, "The Biden regulators lied about crypto and said, ‘we have to protect consumers,' but as they were terrorizing every compliant and legal company, they let all the crazy fly-by-night meme coins and scams run, because they wanted to destroy the industry and destroy trust in the markets."
Horowitz&#8217;s comments reflect widespread frustration in the crypto industry regarding uneven regulatory enforcement, which critics argue has hampered legitimate crypto businesses while leaving volatile and questionable projects unchecked. 
The regulatory landscape, especially in the U.S., has been marked by high-profile lawsuits and fines, targeting major crypto exchanges and compliant firms under the guise of protecting consumers.

Andreessen amplified Horowitz's remarks, comparing the situation to &#8220;anarcho-tyranny,&#8221; a political theory describing a situation where lawbreakers operate unchecked while law-abiding citizens or businesses face undue restrictions.
He likened the crypto regulatory environment to challenges in U.S. cities like San Francisco, stating, "If you're a violent drug addict you can have free reign on the streets, and if you want to open an ice cream parlor, God help you."
Both Horowitz and Andreessen highlighted how this approach, ostensibly aimed at protecting consumers, has instead contributed to widespread uncertainty and a loss of public trust. 
With compliant crypto firms under heavy regulatory scrutiny, these investors argue that the administration&#8217;s policy may be working against its stated goals, possibly driving innovation out of the country.
The upcoming Benzinga <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19 will further explore the impact of policy on innovation, regulation and investor confidence in crypto.

The company reported&nbsp;third-quarter sales growth of 0.8%<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41967098/nomad-foods-reports-third-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener"> year-on-year to 769.6 million euros.</a>&nbsp;Revenue of $845.87 million missed the consensus of $862.89 million.
The company registered organic revenue growth of 0.3% with volume growth of 0.7%, despite an approximate 2.5% temporary headwind related to greater-than-expected ERP disruptions.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 19.0% to 166 million euros. Gross profit increased 14.5% to 248 million euros. Gross margin increased 390 basis points to 32.3% due to supply chain productivity, positive product mix performance as it invested in its core most profitable Must Win Battles, and lower than planned promotional investment as it curtailed in-market support to manage inventory during ERP transition.

Noam Gottesman, Nomad Foods&#8217; Co-Chairman and Founder, commented, &#8220;The new commercial flywheel and innovation framework that we adopted last year is bearing fruit and validated by our return to market share growth, notwithstanding the curtailed support levels due to ERP implementation in the period&#8221;.
The company reported adjusted EPS of 0.55 euros, with $0.60 in U.S. dollars <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">beating the street view of $0.58.</a>
Outlook: Nomad Foods lowers its FY24 organic revenue growth forecast from 3-4% to 1-2%, citing ERP-related challenges in the third quarter and more conservative growth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">expectations for the rest of the year.</a>
The company continues to expect full-year cash flow conversion in the range of 90% to 95% but lowered its adjusted earnings outlook for the full-year.
