AUSTIN, Texas and LONDON, April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Synthetik has announced the successful demonstration of their “Flood Data Collection and Analysis” platform, Flowcore – an end-to-end tool for modeling of flood scenarios and prediction of resulting damage and financial/insurance losses. Flowcore incorporates Synthetik’s proprietary GPU-accelerated flood simulation code, and uniquely leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver results in seconds on standard laptop systems – enabling measurement of cumulative events or high-volume probabilistic analysis.

Flowcore has undergone significant validation using real world events and was used to recreate a flash flooding event in Fort Lauderdale, FL from April 2023 with virtually perfect accuracy at unprecedented speeds.

Flowcore meets the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) objectives of better understanding historical flood impact, real-time analysis and damage forecasting for future events across the country and represents a step-change in scalability for physics-based flood simulation. Flowcore is already being marketed and utilized by Synthetik’s partners in the insurance industry.

Josh Hatfield, Director of Research and Development for Synthetik said:

‘Climate change is rapidly and radically changing the landscape of risk in climate-related events, so we are delighted with the success of Flowcore and its potential to assist public and private sector partners in understanding and predicting flooding damage, and to help guide disaster mitigation efforts across impacted communities.’

Synthetik COO Tim Brewer commented:

‘Flowcore joins our successful products for insurance analytics based on the characterization of assets, perils and vulnerability that deliver industry leading intelligence to insurance companies and risk holders all over the world.

on

AMSTERDAM, April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — New Amsterdam Invest N.V. (the “Company”, or “New Amsterdam Invest”, or “NAI”), a commercial real estate company listed on Euronext Amsterdam, announces a slight delay in reporting its annual results 2023, today. 

Due to circumstances, the preparation and finalization of the audit of the annual report 2023 has been slightly delayed. As we consider delivering a high-quality completion of this process of the utmost importance, we decided to delay publication of the audited annual report 2023 to publication of the AGM agenda on DV. 8 May 2024.

Strategic Highlights 2023

  • On 2 June 2023 NAI acquired four properties in the UK and one in the USA via different subsidiaries.
  • In line with its strategy NAI acquired another investment property in the UK via one of its subsidiaries, on 26 September 2023.

Outline 2023 results

Net Rental Income for full year 2023 is consistent with outlook as provided at Half Year 2023 and the Net Result from Operations over 2023 is positive in accordance with written expectations. Given accounting requirements, one-off costs (in connection with the transition from SPAC to operational company) and (non-cash) revaluations of investment property were required, resulting in a 2023 net loss.

Outlook 2024

For 2024 NAI expects to be profitable and well on track to realize the financial objectives the Company has set out at listing. More specific NAI reiterates that its current portfolio should enable it to realize a 2024 net rental income of approximately € 6.6 million and a result before tax of € 2.6 million, excluding potential impact of revaluation of investment property and or the acquisition of new investment property.
