  • Record Q1 revenue of $17.9M, up 31% from $13.71 million in Q1 2025, reflecting strength across all core segments

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / May 21, 2026 / Cosmos Health Inc. ("Cosmos Health" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:COSM), a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

Income Statement

Cosmos Health delivered the highest Q1 revenue in Company history with continued progress toward adjusted profitability, reflecting broad-based commercial strength - over 75 new pharmacies added at CosmoFarm, growing Sky Premium Life order activity across multiple markets, and expanded contract manufacturing agreements at Cana Laboratories.

  • Revenue was $17.93 million, an increase of 30.7% from $13.71 million in Q1 2025, reflecting strong sales momentum across all core divisions.

    • Adjusted revenue was $18.40 million, up 34.2% year-over-year, reflecting a $470,601 sales discount reversal.

  • Gross profit was $1.38 million in Q1 2026, compared to $2.05 million in Q1 2025, reflecting a revenue mix shift toward wholesale distribution activity at CosmoFarm, compounded by the aforementioned sales discount adjustment.

    • Adjusted gross profit was $1.85 million, reflecting the sales discount reversal applied to revenue.

  • Total operating expenses increased to $3.57 million in Q1 2026, compared to $2.88 million in Q1 2025, reflecting strategic investments in personnel, infrastructure, technology, and AI-driven efficiencies to support global growth initiatives.

  • Net income (loss) was ($2.81 million) in Q1 2026, compared to ($0.82 million) in Q1 2025. The increase is driven principally by $1.15 million of non-cash, non-operational items:

    • $390,350 in non-cash interest on convertible facilities

    • $442,439 in digital asset mark-to-market losses

    • $313,157 in foreign currency translation losses

  • Adjusted EBITDA was ($229,596) in Q1 2026, near breakeven, as increased revenue was offset by higher expenses reflecting the Company's ongoing investments in global growth initiatives.

  • Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was ($996,502), driven by $766,906 in interest expense incurred in support of the Company's growth investments.

Balance Sheet

Cosmos Health continued to improve its balance sheet in Q1 2026, with active debt reduction and working capital optimization driving an improvement in the liabilities-to-assets ratio to 68.2% from 71.9% at year-end 2025.

  • Total assets were $62.37 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $65.48 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting a diversified asset base with solid liquidity, a strong inventory position, and a significant real estate and intellectual property portfolio.

    • Liquid assets totaled $4.3 million, comprising cash and cash equivalents of $2.2 million as well as digital assets and marketable securities of $2.1 million.

  • Total liabilities decreased by $4.51 million, or 9.6%, to $42.54 million as of March 31, 2026, from $47.05 million at December 31, 2025, driven by a substantial reduction in convertible note and credit facility balances.

  • Total stockholders' equity increased by $1.40 million, or 7.6%, to $19.83 million as of March 31, 2026, up from $18.42 million at December 31, 2025.

Management Commentary

Greg Siokas, CEO of Cosmos Health, stated: "Q1 2026 was a record Q1 for Cosmos Health, with revenue of $17.93 million, up 31% year-over-year and 34% on an adjusted basis, reflecting broad-based commercial momentum across every major division - record distribution volumes at CosmoFarm, continued global expansion of Sky Premium Life, and new contract manufacturing agreements at Cana Laboratories.

This momentum is continuing into Q2 2026, and we are focused on sustaining it well beyond this year. We believe Cosmos Health is entering a new phase of growth, driven by strategic investments across our organization - in personnel, facilities, infrastructure, technology, and AI-driven efficiencies - to support our global expansion plans, strengthen our R&D pipeline, and build the foundation for long-term sustainable value creation. A key pillar of this growth is our entry into the lucrative U.S. nutraceuticals market through the 18 Series platform. Adjusted EBITDA is near breakeven, and we expect it to turn positive as our growth investments drive meaningful returns and revenues continue to scale.

At the same time, we have been disciplined in managing our balance sheet. We reduced total liabilities by $4.5 million in a single quarter, a 9.6% reduction, driven by a substantial reduction in convertible note and credit facility balances. Meanwhile, stockholders' equity increased by 7.6%, our liabilities-to-assets ratio improved by 370 basis points, and our liquidity position remains solid, with $4.3 million in liquid assets including cash of $2.2 million, to support our growth plans.

Q1 2026 is an early indication of what we believe will be a period of significant growth for Cosmos Health, and we look forward to updating our shareholders as this story continues to unfold."

(*) See "Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" sections herein for an explanation and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used throughout this release.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business and assess our performance. In addition to Revenue, Gross Profit, Income (Loss) from Operations and Net Income (Loss) under GAAP, we use: Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income (Loss). We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and Board of Directors. Therefore, these non-GAAP financial measures are presented here. Our calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures, if any, reported by our peer companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Revenue

We define Adjusted Revenue as GAAP Revenue adjusted to include revenues subject to revenue recognition timing adjustments. Adjusted Revenue is supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for Revenue prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Gross Profit

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as GAAP Gross Profit adjusted for the same revenue recognition timing adjustments described under Adjusted Revenue above. Adjusted Gross Profit is supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for Gross Profit prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as Income (Loss) before Income Taxes, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) interest income (expense), net, (iii) non-cash interest expense, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) non-recurring and extraordinary items, (vi) other income (expense), net, (vii) gain (loss) on equity investments and digital assets, net, (viii) change in fair value of derivative liability and convertible notes, (ix) foreign currency transaction, net, and (x) sales discount reversals.

We have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and Board of Directors. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring and extraordinary items.

For investors to better evaluate the Company's performance and compare results across reporting periods, Cosmos Health provides a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. These adjustments exclude certain non-cash and non-recurring items, including stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense, changes in the fair value of derivatives and convertible notes, gains or losses on digital assets, foreign currency transactions, sales discount reversals, and other non-operating or non-recurring items, as applicable and as further described above.

The presentation of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the Company's non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as Adjusted EBITDA (see above) adding provision for income taxes and deducting interest expense.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA & Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

The following table presents reconciliations of Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for each of the periods indicated.
