▼ + stars: | 2023-03-23 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

March 23 (Reuters) - Turkey's only listed e-commerce platform Hepsiburada (HEPS.O) will prioritise profitability over rapid growth and step up efforts to retain customers who are being hit by soaring inflation. "My mandate here is to improve profitability", new Hepsiburada CEO Nilhan Onal Gokcetekin told reporters late on Wednesday. Gokcetekin said the path to improved profitability began with retaining customers through a company loyalty programme. However, Hepsiburada's net loss widened to 2.9 billion lira ($152 million) in 2022 from 2 billion lira a year earlier, while earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) narrowed to a loss of 2.6 billion from a 3.7 billion loss in 2021. That compares with a 7 million lira EBITDA loss in the last quarter of 2022.

☆ New Year’s pay boost: These states are raising their minimum wage
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-31 | by ( Alicia Wallace | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

Minneapolis CNN —The current period of high inflation that has significantly impacted the US economy will also influence a New Year’s tradition: The annual state minimum wage increases. By January 1, hourly minimum wages in 23 states will rise as part of previously scheduled efforts to reach $15 an hour or to account for cost-of-living changes. Additionally, nearly 30 cities and counties across the US will increase their minimum wage, according to the EPI, a left-leaning think tank. “The fact that there’s high inflation really just underscores how necessary these minimum wage increases are for workers,” said Sebastian Martinez Hickey, a research assistant at the EPI. “That also means that prices aren’t going to go up at [places like] restaurants.”The federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour hasn’t budged since 2009, and 20 states have a minimum wage either equal to or below the federal level, making $7.25 their default baseline.

The rouble has already lost more than 8% this week against the dollar and around 12% since a cap on Russian oil prices came into force. FALLING REVENUESThe rouble has been catching up with the weakening of Russia's balance of payments, said Rachel Ziemba, founder of Ziemba Insights. "In recent months, Russian export revenues have fallen as it sharply reduced gas exports and the EU oil embargo is limiting oil revenues." The rouble-based MOEX Russian index (.IMOEX) was 0.6% higher at 2,131.8 points, rebounding from a near eight-week low hit in the previous session.

☆ Lennar forecasts slowdown in orders for new homes, shares fall
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-14 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

Dec 14 (Reuters) - Homebuilder Lennar Corp (LEN.N) on Wednesday forecast a slowdown in new orders for the first quarter as high mortgage rates make properties unaffordable for some buyers. Lennar expects new orders in the current quarter to be between 12,000 and 13,500 homes, compared with new orders for 13,200 homes in the fourth quarter. However, the U.S. Federal Reserve's aggressive monetary policy tightening to curb decades-high inflation has made borrowing more difficult for customers as mortgage rates have more than doubled since the beginning of the year. Sales of previously owned homes fell for an eighth straight month in September, while homebuilding dropped, signaling that higher mortgage rates are choking the housing market. Net income attributable to Lennar rose to $1.32 billion, or $4.55 per share, in the fourth quarter, from $1.19 billion, or $3.91 per share, a year earlier.

Oct 25 (Reuters) - Post-it maker 3M Co (MMM.N) said on Tuesday it expected weak consumer spending to continue into the upcoming holiday season and cut its full-year forecasts, echoing broader concerns of an uncertain economic environment. "Consumer spending continues to be weak," 3M Chief Financial Officer Monish Patolawala said on a post-earnings call with analysts. That cut in spending has also impacted 3M, which makes equipment such as electronic accessories and power cable connectors. The diversified manufacturer, which gets 60 percent of its revenue from outside the United States, cut its full-year revenue and profit forecasts earlier on Tuesday, while also citing ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. 3M reported third-quarter revenue of $8.62 billion, missing the average analyst estimate of $8.70 billion, according to Refinitiv data.

Oct 25 (Reuters) - Industrial conglomerate 3M Co (MMM.N) on Tuesday cut its full-year revenue and profit forecast, expecting to take a hit from rising inflation and shrinking overseas earnings due to a stronger dollar. The surging U.S. dollar is likely to weigh on overseas earnings of the company, which operates in more than 70 countries and derives about 60 percent of its revenues from outside the United States. The company now expects full-year revenue growth to fall between 3.5 and 3%, down from its previous forecast of 2.5 to 0.5%. 3M forecast adjusted earnings per share between $10.10 and $10.35 for the year, down from its previous guidance of $10.30 to $10.80.

A Hawaii restaurant group illegally shared $58,855 of servers' tips among managers, the DOL said. The 70 servers' tips were used to top up managers' salaries after the company cut them, per the DOL. The restaurant paid $117,710 in taken tips plus damages to the servers following the investigation. The DOL said DK Restaurant Group, which operates seafood, sushi, and steak restaurants in Hawaii, reduced managers' salaries by "at least" 25% when it reopened its locations after COVID-19 lockdown — then topped up managers' salaries using tips accumulated by 70 servers. Previous investigations by the DOL have found that other restaurants have committed similar FLSA violations by withholding servers' tips, including making them participate in illegal tip pools.

В июне по инициативе минздрава семейные врачи стали рекомендовать беременным женщинам сделать прививку от коронавируса. Во многих странах рекомендуют прививать беременных, так как вакцинация может защитить и маму, и ребенка», — сказала Нинель Ревенко. В то же время мнения по этому вопросу профильных экспертов расходятся, а полноценных клинических исследований, доказывающих безопасность вакцинации беременных женщин, пока еще не было. • Минздрав Молдовы тоже советует беременным женщинам оценивать все риски перед вакцинацией и настоятельно рекомендует после этого регулярно наблюдаться у врача. Ученные Вашингтонского университета, изучив картину болезни 240 беременных женщин и сравнив эти данные с данными небеременных женщин ого же возраста, пришли к выводу, что беременность осложняет клиническое течение коронавируса.
