CHICAGO, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cosmos Health Inc. (“Cosmos Health” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: COSM) today presents a comprehensive corporate update covering all significant operational, financial, and strategic milestones from January 1, 2026 through August 31, 2026.

The Company has executed across every dimension of its stated strategy in 2026: record revenue in every reporting period, a deleveraged and simplified balance sheet, a growing proprietary IP portfolio, meaningful U.S. brand launches, accelerating international expansion, AI-led operational upgrades, and active share repurchases. The update below is structured to give investors a complete view of that transformation.

I.  Financial Performance: Three Consecutive Record Periods

Cosmos Health has delivered its highest revenue in Company history across every reporting period in 2026, building on a record FY2025:

FY2025: Revenue $65.27M (+20% YoY) — the strongest annual result in Company history. Gross profit surged 83% to $7.9M. Gross margin expanded 418 basis points. Adjusted EPS improved 82%. Cash rose more than tenfold to $3.5M. Every core segment contributed: CosmoFarm expanded its pharmacy network, Cana scaled contract manufacturing under long-term agreements, Decahedron grew UK distribution, and Sky Premium Life expanded globally.

Q1 2026: Revenue $17.93M (+30.7%) — record Q1. Total liabilities declined $4.5M (-9.6%). Stockholders’ equity +7.6%. Liabilities-to-assets ratio improved to 68.2% from 71.9% at year-end 2025. Adjusted EBITDA near breakeven. Broad-based commercial strength: 75+ pharmacies added at CosmoFarm, Sky Premium Life growth across multiple markets, expanded Cana orderbook.

Q2 2026: Revenue $18.99M (+28.8%) — record Q2. H1 2026 $36.91M (+29.7%). Adjusted gross profit +58% YoY. Total liabilities −$6.27M (−13.3%). Stockholders’ equity +12.2%. Liabilities-to-assets ratio improved 550 basis points. Annualized adjusted run-rate exceeded $75M. Every core division contributed: CosmoFarm 75+ pharmacies, Cana orderbook 25M+ units all-time high, Decahedron near-doubled UK revenue.

Operating Efficiency: operating cash requirements in H1 2026 ran more than 30% below the average of the prior two years, reflecting revenue growth, operating efficiencies and disciplined cost control — a meaningful step toward the Company’s 2027 profitability targets.

II.  Strengthened Balance Sheet and Capital Structure

The most consequential financial development of 2026 is the transformation of Cosmos Health’s capital structure. The Company has methodically removed meaningful dilution overhang mechanisms and, as a result, expects its share count to remain broadly stable under its existing capital structure, before accounting for the reduction from ongoing share repurchases.

• Convertible note repaid: On August 28, 2026 the Company repaid in full its $8.0 million senior secured convertible note issued to ATW in August 2025, together with all accrued interest, twelve months ahead of its August 2027 maturity. The repayment eliminates any further conversions or dilution from that instrument.
• Shelf registration withdrawn: The Company has withdrawn its Form S-1 and Form S-3 registration statements. No effective shelf registration or ATM offering program is in place.
• No structured or floorless warrants: Remaining warrants carry fixed exercise prices with no reset or ratchet provisions. In May 2026, 4,874,126 Series B warrants expired unexercised with no new shares issued, removing approximately 38% of the total warrant overhang. The next tranche of warrants carries an exercise price of $0.95 per share, significantly above the current share price.
• Share repurchase program: 5,112,000 shares have been repurchased for approximately $1.11 million under the $5.0 million authorization, with open market purchases ongoing.
• Non-core assets: ~$20M in non-core assets identified for potential monetization (real estate, digital assets, marketable securities), including $15M in real estate at fair market value and $3.1M invested in digital assets (BTC + ETH). Bitcoin holdings are currently in a gain position.
  
  

III.  Diversified Asset Base and Digital Assets Strategy

The Company maintains a diversified asset base spanning liquid assets, digital holdings and real estate, alongside access to non-dilutive financing. Together these provide flexibility to fund the Company’s next phase of growth without recourse to equity issuance. As previously stated, the Company has identified approximately $20 million in non-core assets for potential monetization that can be converted to liquidity without impacting core operations. These primarily comprise digital assets, in which over $3 million has been invested to date, and a real estate portfolio with a fair market value of approximately $15 million.

Digital Assets

Cosmos Health has built a disciplined digital asset program as a component of its treasury strategy, with initial focus on Ethereum and strategic expansion into Bitcoin:

• February 2026: $500K Bitcoin purchase — total investments in digital holdings reach $2.5M
• March 2026: $600K Bitcoin purchase — total investments in digital holdings reach $3.1M
• August 2026: Bitcoin holdings in a gain position as of the date of this release, available for opportunistic monetization
  
  

Real Estate

Beyond its liquid and digital assets, Cosmos Health owns a valuable real estate portfolio, with an independent fair market valuation placing it at approximately $15 million. The portfolio comprises the Cana Laboratories’ manufacturing facility in Athens, on a land plot of approximately 54,000 square feet, and the CosmoFarm logistics center in western Athens, of approximately 29,100 square feet. Both properties are wholly owned by the Company. Management regards this as a further resource available to the Company.

European Investment Bank financing

In May 2026, Cana Laboratories entered into an advisory agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for the financing of a €50 million R&D program, under which EIB financing could represent up to 50%, or €25 million, under the EIB’s Venture Debt Program. This sits alongside available credit facilities and other non-dilutive financing sources that may be explored.

IV.  Analyst Coverage and Valuation

On January 14, 2026, Zacks Small-Cap Research initiated analyst coverage of Cosmos Health with a $4.50 price target — representing a significant premium to where the stock has traded. The initiation cited the Company’s revenue trajectory, brand portfolio and proprietary pipeline as key drivers. Analyst estimates and price targets represent the views of the issuing firm and not those of the Company.

V.  Divisional Performance Snapshot

VI.  UK Retail Breakthrough, New Channels and Growth Initiatives

In February 2026, Cosmos Health achieved a landmark dual placement for C-Scrub in the United Kingdom — securing listings with two of the largest retailers in the country:

• Tesco: The UK’s largest retailer, holding ~30% market share and generating over $80B in annual revenue globally. Tens of millions of customers served weekly.
• Superdrug: The UK’s second-largest beauty and health retailer, operating 830+ stores including 200+ in-store pharmacies across the UK and Republic of Ireland, plus a strong e-commerce platform.
  
  

The listing in both retailers represents a step-change in C-Scrub’s UK visibility and credibility, and establishes a platform for potential rollout of additional Cosmos Health products. The Company has since extended the franchise into two additional channels:

• Hospital and surgical (April 2026): C-Scrub Wash 4% completed testing under EN 12791, the European standard for surgical hand disinfection, supporting entry into hospital, surgical and professional healthcare procurement channels. C-Sept PRO has since gained traction across leading Greek public and private hospital groups.
• EU expansion: C-Scrub and C-Sept reported annualized sales above $1.5 million at gross margins over 70%, with planned European expansion targeting $2.5 million in revenue in 2026, rising to $7.4 million in revenue and $5.3 million in gross profit by 2028.
• Animal health (June 2026): Veterinary C-Scrub Wash 4% certified under EN 1656 and EN 1657 European standards — opening the $69B global animal health market. The veterinary line extends an existing certified formulation manufactured in-house at Cana’s facility.
  
  

Acquisitions

The Company is actively exploring acquisitions that could be immediately accretive and accelerate progress toward its stated guidance targets. Two letters of intent (LOI) have been signed to date:

• Pharmacy distribution network (March 2026): LOI signed to acquire a $11.5M pharmacy distribution network, further expanding CosmoFarm’s reach.
• Doc Pharma S.A. (June 2026): LOI signed to acquire Doc Pharma S.A., an affiliated European GMP pharmaceutical manufacturer, expected to expand assets, production capacity, product portfolio and profitability.
  
  

VII.  International Expansion: Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and Global Markets

Cosmos Health accelerated the international rollout of its proprietary brands during 2026, adding exclusive and long-term distribution partnerships across the Gulf while achieving full European coverage for Sky Premium Life. Each agreement is with an established distributor holding significant retail reach in its market.

Saudi Arabia (August 2026): Cosmos Health entered the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through an exclusive five-year distribution agreement with Innova Healthcare, one of the Kingdom’s largest retail pharmacy networks, operating more than 250 pharmacies with a stated plan to exceed 500. The agreement covers the full Sky Premium Life range. An initial purchase order of 126,000 units was secured on execution, with total expected volume exceeding 5 million units over the initial five-year term. Innova holds a first right of refusal on new Cosmos Health products developed or acquired during the term.

Qatar (June 2026): The Company signed a distribution agreement with International Medical Company, whose Kulud Pharmacies retail arm is the country’s largest chain with more than 130 branches, securing an initial order of 31,000 Sky Premium Life units.

United Arab Emirates (April 2026): A third consecutive purchase order was received from Pharmalink for 60,000 Sky Premium Life units, taking cumulative orders to 270,000 units against a five-year goal of over 3 million units.

European Union (June 2026): Pan-European distribution was achieved for Sky Premium Life through the e-commerce platform Skroutz, making 96 products available for shipment across all 27 EU Member States.

Albania (July 2026): Pharma Cell partnership scaled to 4,500+ monthly units, with annualized orders projected to exceed 54,000 units. Products are distributed across Albania and recommended by healthcare professionals.

Dubai (February 2026): Cosmos Health showcased its expanding brand portfolio at the World Health Expo Dubai 2026, reinforcing the Company’s presence in the Middle East and MENA region.

VIII.  CCX0722 Hydrogel: International Patent in Four Markets

On June 25, 2026, Cana Laboratories advanced international patent application WO2025108566A1, “Hydrogel for Body Weight Management,” into the European regional phase and national phases in the United States, Australia and Canada. The IP was acquired outright from Cloudpharm on June 8, 2026 — no licensing fees, no royalty-sharing, no third-party dependency.

CCX0722 works through a simple, mechanical mechanism with no systemic absorption. Taken as a capsule before meals, the dried hydrogel absorbs water in the stomach and swells more than 100-fold into soft gel pieces that occupy stomach volume to support satiety, before naturally passing through the GI tract. The global weight management market was $190.6B in 2025 and is projected to reach $562.2B by 2033 at a 14.2% CAGR.

IX.  U.S. Proprietary Brand Buildout: The 18 Series Platform

The 18 Series is Cosmos Health’s portfolio of science-validated nutraceutical products, manufactured in the United States at facilities holding GMP certification and FDA registration. The following products are now in active U.S. commercial launch or production:

• Cur18™ — Patented, clinically studied curcumin formulation delivering up to 39× higher free curcumin bioavailability versus standard 95% curcuminoid extracts. U.S. commercial launch Q2 2026.
• Liv18™ — Clinically validated liver health supplement. Phase 1 complete; production commenced April 2026 at a GMP-certified, FDA-registered, UL-audited U.S. facility. Projected $5M+ annual revenue at ~75% gross margin. Tariff-mitigated via U.S.-based manufacturing.
• Oliv18™ — Whole olive polyphenol; USDA and EU organic certified; 100% solvent-free. Targeting U.S. cardiovascular and antioxidant categories. Projected $6M+ annual revenue at ~72% gross margin within 12–18 months.
• Fort18™ — Men’s wellness supplement introduced May 2026. Projected $3.2M+ incremental annual U.S. revenue within 12–18 months.
• NOOR Collagen — Korean-developed premium collagen. Subscription model launched with >60% early repeat purchase rate at >50% gross margins. Projected $12M+ annualized revenue. Entering $163B global skincare market.
  
  

Combined, the 18 Series / NOOR U.S. portfolio projects over $22.7M in annualized revenue at approximately $17.0M in gross profit — structurally high-margin, DTC-led, and subscription-capable.

X.  AI Strategy and Operational Infrastructure

AI has moved from strategy to execution at Cosmos Health in 2026, with deployments across commercial, logistics and research functions:

• Enterprise integration (April 2026): AI deployed across front-end order and customer management, back-end warehouse, inventory and supply chain operations, and the proprietary Cloudscreen drug repurposing platform — with the potential to reduce certain operating expenses by up to 30%.
• CosmoFarm automation: AI robotic automation deployed for inventory management and order fulfillment, alongside expanded facility capacity supporting an additional $40M+ in annual revenue capacity.
• Customer operations (June 2026): AI-powered call center agreement signed — multilingual voice, outbound campaigns and real-time reporting — to optimize order intake and customer communications.
• Subscription platform (July 2026): The Company is actively developing an AI-enabled digital subscription platform spanning consumer (B2C) and corporate (B2B) channels, building on the U.S. subscription launch of NOOR Collagen, which has delivered an early repeat purchase rate above 60%.
  
  

These investments underpin the operating leverage the Company expects to demonstrate as revenue scales toward $90M and beyond.

XI.  2026–2029 Financial Guidance Reaffirmed

The Company reaffirms its guidance issued May 26, 2026. H1 2026 performance is consistent with the trajectory required to achieve these targets:

The 32% CAGR is expected to be driven by a structural margin shift toward proprietary segments: the 18 Series (72–75% gross margins), CCX0722 licensing/co-development, and Cana contract manufacturing — alongside continued organic growth in distribution.

Management believes that achieving these targets would create significant value for shareholders, as the Company transitions to a self-funded model driven by strong cash flows.

XII.  Complete 2026 Milestone Timeline

Management Commentary

Greg Siokas, CEO of Cosmos Health, stated: “This is a different company than it was twelve months ago. We have retired $8 million of debt a full year early. We repurchased more than five million shares. We delivered record revenue in every reporting period. We placed C-Scrub in Tesco and Superdrug. We entered Saudi Arabia with a five-year exclusive distribution agreement. We filed our hydrogel patent across four global markets. We launched proprietary U.S. brands. And we did all of this while cutting our cash burn by more than 30%.

“Every pillar of our strategy is delivering. CosmoFarm is growing its pharmacy network and deploying AI. Cana has its biggest contract manufacturing orderbook in history. Decahedron nearly doubled its UK revenue. Our proprietary brands are gaining real commercial traction.

“We enter the second half of 2026 with a solid balance sheet and a streamlined capital structure, growing revenue across every division, and a clear path to $200 million in revenue and significant profitability by 2029. Cosmos is not a promise. It is performance.”
