NextPlat Reports 21% Sequential Quarterly Revenue Growth, 87% Reduction in Quarterly Net Loss to $144,000 and Record Gross Margin of Approximately 40%

Growth Momentum Continues Across the Business, Highlighted by Increased Higher-Margin 340B Healthcare Prescription Volumes and Over 27% Sequential Growth in E-Commerce Revenue

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla., Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NextPlat Corp (NASDAQ: NXPL) ("NextPlat" or the "Company"), a global consumer products and services company providing healthcare and technology solutions through e-commerce and retail channels worldwide, today announced significantly improved operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

"The second quarter of 2026 marked a clear financial inflection point in NextPlat's turnaround as we generated strong sequential revenue growth, expanded consolidated gross margin to a record 40%, and reduced our net loss to $144,000," said David Phipps, Chief Executive Officer and President of NextPlat Corp. "NextPlat's significantly improved financial results reflect a more efficient operating structure and a deliberate shift toward higher-margin 340B contracted pharmacy services. Supported by 11 new contracted entities signed during the first half of 2026 and customer onboarding underway, our focus is now on converting this pipeline into revenue, maintaining margin discipline, and achieving sustainable profitability including selective, strategically aligned acquisitions that can add scale and diversification." 

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights:

• Consolidated revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was approximately $11.9 million, a sequential increase of approximately 21% over first quarter 2026 revenue of $9.9 million reflecting the Company's continued focus on expanding its contracted healthcare business     
  
  
  • Second quarter 2026 results reflected continued progress in the Company's Healthcare operations strategy to expand its higher-value contracted pharmacy services focused on supporting the needs of 340B, long-term care, government and other healthcare providers. Contracted pharmacy revenue increased 136% to approximately $2.2 million, compared with approximately $0.9 million in the prior-year period. The increase was attributable to growth in 340B contract revenue of approximately $0.7 million and the increase in medication fulfillment contract services secured late in 2025, of approximately $0.6 million. The increase in 340B contract revenue was driven by growth in our existing 340B contracts of approximately $0.6 million and an increase in new 340B contract revenue of approximately $0.1 million. On a sequential basis, contracted pharmacy revenue increased approximately 20% from the first quarter of 2026, supported by ongoing business development activity and the addition of multiple new contracted clients. Total pharmacy prescription revenue was approximately $5.6 million, compared with approximately $8.2 million in the prior-year period. As anticipated, the year-over-year change primarily reflected lower payer reimbursement rates and payer mix. The strong growth in contracted pharmacy revenue substantially offset these expected headwinds and demonstrates the increasing contribution from the Company's expanding contracted services business.   
    
    
  • Second quarter 2026 e-Commerce revenue increased approximately 27% sequentially to approximately $4.1 million, compared with approximately $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, accompanied by improved gross margin performance. Growth was supported by continued strong global demand for satellite-based connectivity and Internet of Things (IoT) products including new and expanded orders for Iridium and Globalstar devices serving international government and military customers.  
    
    
• Overall gross margin for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, reached a record level of approximately 40%, surpassing the previous record of 35% set in the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and up approximately 18 percentage points from 22% in the prior-year second quarter.
  
  
  • Gross margin in the Company's Healthcare Operations segment continued to improve significantly, increasing to approximately 46% in the second quarter of 2026, compared with approximately 39% in the first quarter of 2026 and approximately 20% in the second quarter of 2025. This represents an improvement of nearly seven percentage points sequentially and more than double the gross margin reported in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of new contracted medication fulfillment services and lower drug acquisition costs resulting from the Medicare  Drug Price Negotiation Program, which commenced in January 2026. With higher-margin 340B contracted services revenue expected to increase, the Company believes the segment's gross margin will remain well above prior-year levels.
    
    
  • Gross margin for e-Commerce Operations continued to increase sequentially during the second quarter of 2026 to approximately 27% from 25% when compared to the first quarter of 2026 and up from 26% recorded in the second quarter of 2025.
    
    
• Total operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 slightly increased to approximately $4.8 million from approximately $4.7 million in the prior year quarter primarily reflecting a $0.5 million increase in professional fees. Excluding a one-time increase in professional fees, overall operating expenses declined approximately 8% due to the Company's ongoing refocusing and streamlining efforts. Management continues to expect that the addition of higher-margin contracted healthcare services revenue supported by the Company's more efficient expense structure will contribute to sustainable positive operating income for the remainder of 2026.
  
  
• Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 decreased approximately 92% to approximately $0.1 million or ($0.05) per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of approximately $1.8 million, or ($0.69) per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Excluding the one-time impact of approximately $0.5 million in professional fees, the Company achieved profitability during the second quarter and anticipates generating positive earnings moving forward.
  
  
• The Company ended the quarter with approximately $11.9 million in cash, working capital of approximately $14.2 million, and no material unsecured debt as of June 30, 2026.

Organizational Highlights and Recent Business Developments:

• During the quarter, momentum in the Company's Healthcare Operations segment continued to build as higher-margin 340B contracted pharmacy services prescription volumes grew over 33% year-over-year, driven primarily by enhanced customer service and support. Successful new 340B business development efforts continued to result in the signing of new services contracts, securing five new entities in the first quarter and six in the second quarter, each representing sequential records. Onboarding of these new customers is currently underway. These additions are expected to contribute to increased revenue throughout the third quarter with a more significant contribution expected early in the fourth quarter.
  
  
• After the close of the second quarter, the Company announced the intended acquisition of a profitable pharmacy operation in the Pensacola area of Northwest Florida. Once completed, this strategic acquisition can enhance the Company's PharmcoRx pharmacy operation, diversifying and expanding its reach into an underserved market as a platform supporting the launch of new high-value healthcare services for regional providers and patients. The Company is currently exploring additional selective acquisitions that could significantly increase the scale of its brick-and-mortar business in Florida.
  
  
• E-commerce sales during the second quarter continued to produce strong sequential growth including improved margins, driven largely by increased sales of satellite-based IoT and Push-to-Talk (PTT) hardware and higher-margin airtime services in international markets supporting government and military sector customers. Through the end of the second quarter, government and military sector sales surpassed $1.75 million.
  
  
• During the third quarter of 2026, the Company expects to launch its new nationwide medication fulfillment website, providing consumers across all 50 U.S. states with convenient online access to prescription and over-the-counter healthcare products. The new platform is expected to significantly expand PharmcoRx's reach beyond Florida, establish a scalable national e-commerce sales channel and support future healthcare revenue growth through broader consumer access and new partnership opportunities.
