Over the last few months, NextPlat reported IoT expansion, strong expected 340B growth, and a new multi-state fulfillment contract. Despite seemingly positive healthcare and IoT developments in November–December 2025, shares often moved modestly or negatively after such news. By contrast, the October 29, 2025 Nasdaq compliance extension produced a stronger upside reaction. Today’s operational update on 2025 revenue expectations and 2026 margin/cost goals fits the pattern of strategic refocusing and healthcare-driven growth.

Market Pulse Summary

With cash of about $13 million, working capital near $15 million, and zero unsecured debt, investors may watch how operating losses trend, how 340B and contracted services scale, and whether the $300,000,000 shelf capacity is utilized.

Improved Cash Flow and Operational Profitability Goals for 2026 Supported by Early Q1 Momentum in High-Margin 340B, Expansion of Higher-Margin Contracted Services, and Continued Growth in E-Commerce Revenue
As previously communicated in the Company's third quarter 2025 earnings report and subsequent business update, successful ongoing business refocusing and development activities conducted over the past six months have begun contributing to meaningful sequential progress against growth, cost reduction and profitability objectives. Key financial metrics include:
- Healthcare Operations Revenue Improvement: Fourth quarter 2025 340B revenue is expected to increase by more than
90% compared to the third quarter of 2025, driven by direct engagement initiatives and operational improvements with existing 340B customers. Total prescription volume is anticipated to increase approximately7% sequentially, reflecting growth in contracted prescription activity. Although total prescription volumes may fluctuate in 2026 as the Company continues to shift towards more contracted services, it is already experiencing improved unit economics driven by a focus on revenue quality, cost discipline, and the impact of the Medicare manufacturer rebate program, supporting overall margin expansion. - Gross Margin Improvement: Consolidated gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 is expected to remain relatively consistent with the third quarter of 2025. As a result of its continued shift towards higher margin contracted services in its healthcare operations including growth in 340B and medication fulfilment contracts, the Company anticipates significant consolidated gross margin expansion in the range of
20% -25% in the first quarter of 2026 with incremental improvement expected throughout 2026. - Operational Process Efficiency and Cost Reduction: As previously communicated in our CEO Shareholder Update Letter, the Company anticipates sustained reductions in annual operating expenses driven by structural overhead initiatives, including the closing of underutilized office space, personnel consolidation, reduced reliance on external consultants, and enhanced logistics efficiencies.
- Solid Liquidity: The Company's operations continue to be supported by a solid balance sheet with a cash balance of approximately
$13 million $15 million - On Track for Improved Operating Results in First Half of 2026: Preliminary results through the first quarter of 2026 indicate continued strong growth in profitable 340B and contracted fulfillment revenue, combined with ongoing operational efficiencies, supporting management's expectation of meaningful reductions in operating losses by the end of the second quarter of 2026.
"We continue to build upon the results of our business refocusing and improvement efforts as reported in the third quarter, and although we are going to be impacted by several one-time, non-recurring costs in the fourth quarter, we believe our results will clearly demonstrate the positive fundamental impacts of our efforts to position NextPlat for long-term profitability and growth," said David Phipps, CEO of NextPlat. "Looking ahead, although there is work still to be done, we remain confident in the potential to rapidly and profitably grow the business in 2026. Through continued execution and capitalizing on the many opportunities ahead of us, we are committed to delivering increased value to our stakeholders - our customers, patients, and our shareholders."
The Company expects to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on or before March 31, 2026 and host an earnings conference call with investors.
