Refocusing and Cost Cutting Efforts Now Delivering Operational Improvement Including Sequential Margin Expansion and Significant Cost Reductions
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla., March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NextPlat Corp (NASDAQ: NXPL, NXPLW) ("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 the financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, reflecting the performance of its healthcare and e-commerce operations.
"The closing of 2025 marks the start of an exciting new period for our company as we successfully execute on our turnaround and cost-cutting plans, efforts that began to drive fundamental improvements across operational and financial metrics in the fourth quarter, putting NextPlat on a growth and profitability pathway in 2026 as outlined in our recently issued guidance press release," said David Phipps, Chief Executive Officer and President of NextPlat Corp. "Looking into the first half of 2026, supported by a strong financial foundation and investments into business development, organizational process improvements, and enhanced customer service in our healthcare operations, we are now positioned to significantly grow the business. We believe the improved performance and profitability that we forecast for 2026 will finally deliver the value proposition that we've promised our shareholders for quite some time."
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights
- Consolidated revenue for the full year ended December 31, 2025, was approximately $54.3 million, compared to approximately $66.1 million for the prior year, an overall decrease of 18%.
- Full year 2025 Healthcare Operations revenue decreased approximately $12.6 million to $39.7 million from $52.3 million in the prior year. The year-over-year decline in total revenue was attributable to the decrease in the number of total prescriptions filled of approximately $11.3 million and a decrease in 340B contract revenue of approximately $6.4 million, which were offset by the increase in reimbursement rates per prescription filled of approximately $5.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we filled approximately 374,000 prescriptions versus 473,000 in the prior year. In the fourth quarter of 2025, revenue was approximately $9.0 million compared sequentially to approximately $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting a 94% growth in 340B contract revenue, offset by the decrease in prescription revenue. The Company continues to shift its healthcare focus towards higher margin, higher growth pharmacy contract services such as 340B contract revenue and medication fulfillment services which are expected to drive more profitable revenue and improved gross margins despite lower total retail prescription volume.
- Total e-Commerce revenues were approximately $14.6 million and $13.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, an increase of approximately $0.8 million primarily due to an increase in airtime and hardware sales of approximately $0.4 million and a favorable foreign currency impact of approximately $0.4 million. During the year, the Company continued to see strong global demand for satellite-based connectivity and IoT products highlighted by the sales of over 5,000 Iridium and Globalstar devices along with more than 12,000 satellite-enabled trackers and messengers which also set new annual sales records.

- Overall gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2024, declined to approximately 20% when compared to the prior year of approximately 26%.
- Gross margin for Healthcare Operations decreased during 2025 to approximately 19% from 26% when compared to 2024 and was primarily attributable to the decrease in pharmacy 340B contract revenue. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company successfully reengaged with 340B covered entities and experienced new, higher margin medication fulfillment services exceeding 6,000+ prescriptions per month. This growth is expected to continue into the first half of 2026 with new covered entity contracts commencing combined with increased prescription volumes from contracted medication fulfillment services.
- Gross margin for e-Commerce Operations decreased slightly during 2025 to approximately 23% from 25% when compared to 2024 due to a service provider airtime contract that expired on December 31, 2024, which introduced new airtime costs beginning January 1, 2025, and temporary rate reductions for some customers affected by ongoing network service interruptions.
- Gross margin for Healthcare Operations decreased during 2025 to approximately 19% from 26% when compared to 2024 and was primarily attributable to the decrease in pharmacy 340B contract revenue.

- Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, were approximately $19.9 million, a decrease of approximately $20.1 million, or 50%, from total operating expenses for the prior year of approximately $40.0 million, which included a non-recurring impairment loss of approximately $13.7 million. Overall operating expenses declined significantly due to the Company's ongoing refocusing and streamlining efforts highlighted by a 20% decrease in salaries and wages resulting from reductions in total headcount and executive compensation, and a 49% decrease in professional fees. Management expects further meaningful reductions in operating expenses throughout 2026.
- Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2025, was approximately $11.7 million, or ($0.44) per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of approximately $13.4 million, or ($0.65) diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2024.
- The Company ended 2025 with approximately $13.7 million in cash, no meaningful unsecured debt, and approximately $15.0 million in working capital.
Organizational Highlights and Recent Business Developments
- The Company expanded its senior leadership team with the appointments of Rodney Barreto as Chairman of the Board, David Phipps as Chief Executive Officer, Amanda Ferrio as Chief Financial Officer, and Birute Norkute as Vice President of Healthcare Operations.
- The Company successfully cut $2+ million in annualized costs across the organization, streamlining operations, eliminating unused office space, and reducing staff headcount by more than 25%.
- During the second half of 2025, the Company prioritized higher margin healthcare business development over traditional retail pharmacy business, recruited new, dedicated sales teams targeting the large 340B and long-term care facility markets, and secured new high volume contracted medication fulfillment services supporting two facilities in Florida.
- The Company continued to grow its e-commerce sales and distribution platforms for satellite connectivity and communications products with new and expanded relationships with leading providers including Globalstar and Iridium in Europe, and more recently, launched sales in Latin America.
- Evaluation of several growth opportunities such as acquisitions and joint-ventures will enable the Company to expand its mail order medication fulfilment offerings nationwide including the potential launch of direct-to-consumer online websites in support of new and existing customers. These growth opportunities and nationwide fulfilment through its partnership with Healthwarehouse.com are expected to significantly expand the Company's addressable market beyond Florida where the Company's healthcare segment currently generates nearly $40 million in annual revenue.
