LEXINGTON, KY / ACCESS Newswire / March 16, 2026 / Cardiff Lexington Corporation (OTCQB:CDIX) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Alex Cunningham, Chief Executive Officer of Cardiff Lexington, commented, "2025 was a year of strong strategic execution as we continued to enhance our Nova Ortho and Spine footprint and offerings while making meaningful progress on our long-term goals. Notably, full year revenue increased 39.5% on a GAAP basis in 2025 compared with 2024, supported by our operations in numerous diverse locations throughout Florida and Georgia where we are seeing strong demand for our services. Operationally, we've shifted our focus to more higher value surgical procedures, and our patient volumes continue to increase, with an average of between 270 and 375 patients treated per month across all our locations.

"During the fourth quarter, we strengthened the Nova Ortho and Spine team with the addition of leading healthcare talent and entered a strategic partnership with Doctors' Memorial Hospital in Perry, Florida to bring our leading services to patients in this area of the state. Subsequent to the close of the quarter, we improved our capital structure with the execution of a 1-for-3 reverse split as a part of our planned uplisting to a major US stock exchange. We believe this will strengthen our capital markets profile and enhance our visibility, liquidity, and access to capital to support our anticipated growth as we continue to bring our world-class care to an underserved patient population," Mr. Cunningham concluded.

Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights

Total revenue increased 39.5% to $11.5 million compared with $8.3 million in full year 2024, primarily related to higher patient volume and a shift to more higher value surgical procedures throughout the year. Revenue in full year 2024 included one-time adjustments of $2.8 million. Non-GAAP adjusted revenue, which excludes this one-time adjustment to revenue, was $11.1 million for full year 2024.

Gross profit increased to $7.2 million, or 62.5% of total revenue, compared with $4.4 million, or 53.6% of total revenue in full year 2024.

Total operating expenses increased to $6.1 million compared with $4.6 million in full year 2024, primarily related to increased SG&A expense of $5.3 million, or 46.2% of revenue, compared with $4.1 million, or 49.1% of revenue, for the full year 2024.

Operating income increased to $1.1 million, or 9.5% of total revenue, compared with operating loss of $(193,000), or (2.3%) of total revenue, in full year 2024.

Net loss in full year 2025 was $(5.5 million) compared with net loss of $(3.3 million) in full year 2024. Included in full year 2025 was interest expense of $(6.8 million) compared with interest expense of $(3.0 million) in full year 2024. This increase in interest expense is primarily related to increases in initial and incremental fees charged on the number of existing purchases and claims under the Company's line of credit.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, which excludes interest expense, was $1.8 million compared with non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million in full year 2024, which excludes interest expense and the change in accounting estimate of the billing realization rate recognized in third quarter 2024.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total revenue was $2.8 million compared with 3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease is primarily attributed to normal variances around the collection cycle timeframe on accounts receivables, which is typically between 12 and 24 months, as well as the timing of the 2025 holiday season, which resulted in significantly reduced patient volume over the two-week period around Christmas and New Years.

Gross profit was $1.8 million, or 63.5% of total revenue, compared with $2.0 million, or 64.8% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Total operating expenses increased to $2.5 million compared with $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily related to increased stock compensation expense of $616,000 and SG&A expense of $1.8 million, or 66.0% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with $1.4 million, or 46.2% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Loss from continuing operations was $(696,000), or (25.1%) of total revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with income from continuing operations of $332,000, or 10.6% of total revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $(2.7 million) compared with net loss of $(910,000) in the fourth quarter of 2024. Included in net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was interest expense of $(2.2 million) compared with interest expense of $(1.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase in interest expense is related to increases in initial and incremental fees charged on the number of existing purchases and claims under the Company's line of credit.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, which excludes interest expense, was a loss of $(79,000) compared with non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $579,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Balance Sheet

Cash totaled $319,000 as of December 31, 2025.

Total assets increased 21.6% to $29.1 million as of December 31, 2025.
