Exhibit 99.1

NextPlat Reports 474% Increase in Consolidated Q2 Revenues to $17 Million and Record 34.2% Quarterly Margins; $70 Million in 2024 Annual Revenues Expected

Additional Healthcare Services Contracts and E-Commerce Expansion Expected to Drive Continued Growth Supported by Approximately $24.9 Million in Cash

COCONUT GROVE, FL – August 14, 2024 – NextPlat Corp (NASDAQ: NXPL, NXPLW) (“NextPlat” or the “Company”), a global e-Commerce provider, today announced record financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 which includes the consolidation of the operations of its e-commerce business with the results of its healthcare operations, Progressive Care Inc. (OTCQB: RXMD) (“Progressive Care”).

“We are pleased with our second quarter performance as our healthcare and global e-commerce technology operations continue to produce strong top-line growth and greatly improved margin performance, driven by new 340B services contracts, increased prescription volumes as well as contributions from our recently acquired Outfitter Satellite operations,” said Charles M. Fernandez, Executive Chairman and CEO of NextPlat Corp. “Through the strategic combination with Progressive Care and the further expansion of e-commerce sales in North America and China this year, supported by a solid balance sheet, we believe we created a valuable and sustainable growth platform capable of delivering improved operational and financial results for our shareholders in the months ahead.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:

● Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were approximately $17.0 million, an increase of over 474% versus revenue of approximately $3.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Results for the second quarter of 2024 reflect e-commerce revenue of approximately $3.5 million, including the contribution of Outfitter Satellite (“Outfitter”) acquired in April 2024, and approximately $13.5 million in revenue contributed from the Company’s healthcare operations. Results for the second quarter of 2023 reflect e-commerce revenue only because the business combination with Progressive Care occurred on July 1, 2023. Based upon current expectations, available product inventory and the number of new and existing healthcare services contracts, the Company anticipates full-year revenue of approximately $70 million.

● Gross margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, increased significantly to a record 34.2%, up from 28.5% reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to the Company’s healthcare operations because of the Progressive Care consolidation. Gross profit margin attributable to our healthcare operations was approximately 35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. E-commerce profit margins improved to approximately 32% from 29% reported for the same period in 2023 driven largely by continued increases in higher margin product sales, recurring airtime revenue, and Outfitter sales in the second quarter.

● Operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, were approximately $16.7 million compared to approximately $4.2 million for the same period in 2023. The increased operating expenses were primarily attributable to a non-cash impairment loss of approximately $9.8 million related to intangible assets and goodwill acquired in the Progressive Care acquisition in 2023.

■

The Company conducts ongoing impairment testing on the estimated fair value of goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Fair value methodologies for intangible assets include estimates of future cashflows related to the Company’s 340B pharmacy service agreements. These estimates of future cash flows are subject to change due to multiple external factors including the 340B covered entity’s patient outcomes and adherence with program compliance requirements.

■

The Company believes that annual reductions in operating costs, especially public company expenses, will contribute to improved operational profitability following the successful completion of the merger with Progressive Care.

●Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $5.3 million or ($0.28) per diluted share compared to a net loss of approximately $4.3 million or ($0.24) diluted earnings per share reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

● The Company ended the second quarter of 2024 with approximately $24.9 million in cash, a sequential increase from approximately $23.5 million reported for the first quarter of 2024.

Organizational Highlights and Recent Business Developments:

●

Growth at the Company’s healthcare business, Progressive Care, saw a 17% increase in quarterly revenue in the second quarter of 2024, driven by 11% growth in pharmacy prescriptions and a 41% increase in its 340B contract services business versus its standalone second quarter results in 2023. Additional 340B contracts and sales efforts targeting long-term care and assisted living facilities, started late last year and earlier this year, are contributing to increased revenue and growth in prescriptions filled.

●

On April 12, 2024, NextPlat announced a proposed merger with Progressive Care in an all-stock transaction that would result in Progressive Care becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of NextPlat which is expected to provide annual operating cost reductions. On August 6, 2024, the Company filed the definitive proxy statement/prospectus regarding the proposed merger and set September 13, 2024, as the Annual Meeting date for the shareholder vote. If approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting, and subject to customary closing conditions and requirements, the Company anticipates completing the transaction in early October.

●

The Company’s technology e-commerce business continued to see increased global demand for satellite-enabled communications devices, producing sales to customers in 92 countries. Demand for high margin, recurring airtime contracts remains at record levels increased further by the positive contribution of Outfitter, which predominately sells connectivity products compatible with the Iridium satellite network. Under its North American expansion plan, its website was updated, and an Amazon storefront was launched, generating new online sales in late July. Also, during the quarter, the Company expanded its portfolio of satellite-based connectivity solutions as a reseller of SpaceX’s Starlink through a joint venture agreement with Pivotel Solutions Inc.

●

The Company advanced its e-commerce development program for OPKO Healthcare (“OPKO”)-branded products in China on Alibaba’s Tmall Global platform following longer than expected regulatory clearance, recording its first product sales in late July. In July, the Company also began promoting select OPKO products in China through its new marketing and distribution partner (“the Marketing Partner”) who is providing access to additional e-commerce sites including JD and Temu and is currently developing new digital and social media marketing programs expected to launch later this year.

●

To support the pending launch of NextPlat’s Florida Sunshine line of branded vitamins and supplements, initial products have been shipped to the Marketing Partner in China for marketing program development. It is expected that Florida Sunshine products will be made available to Chinese consumers on multiple online marketplaces and be featured in campaigns conducted by social media influencers and bloggers starting later in the fourth quarter.

David Phipps, President of NextPlat and CEO of Global Operations, added, “Our successes in the second quarter reflect continued fundamental strength across our healthcare services and technology e-commerce portfolio, helping us to achieve several financial and operational performance milestones. Our ability to quicky expand our platform with the addition of Outfitters and comprehensive marketing and sales capabilities for healthcare and wellness products in China, uniquely positions NextPlat to deliver value to our global base of customers, partners and brands.”

The financial information included in this press release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier today.
