(“Cosmos Health” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:COSM), a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group engaged in innovative R&D, owner of proprietary pharmaceutical and nutraceutical brands, manufacturer and distributor of healthcare products, and operator of a telehealth platform, announced today its updated guidance for the 2024-2027 period.

Key highlights of the guidance include:

• Revenue is projected to increase by 163%, from $59.35 million in 2024 to $155.80 million in 2027.

  Net income is projected to increase by 402%, reaching $20.44 million in 2027, from a loss of $6.76 million in 2024.

• Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow to $29.40 million in 2027, from a loss of $1.21 million in 2024.

• Expansion of Sky Premium Life’s geographical footprint and product portfolio, with the introduction of new formulas, therapeutic areas, and customized offerings, supported by strategic partnerships with exclusive distributors and digital channels.

• The global launch of C-sept and C-scrub, both with significant market potential and limited competition. Production is being scaled up, with additional products in development.

• Driving organic growth and integrating the pharmacy distribution network for enhanced efficiency and scalability.

• Corporate reorganization focused on cost-cutting initiatives and optimizing asset and resource utilization through the integration of business units.

The complete guidance is outlined in the table below.

Greg Siokas, CEO of Cosmos Health, stated: “Cosmos is at a critical inflection point, and I am delighted to share with our shareholders more detailed guidance for the period 2024 to 2027. We are laser-focused on expanding our revenue base through high-margin segments such as CMO operations and the global growth of our proprietary brands, while also emphasizing efficiencies and cost-cutting initiatives. As a result, we now expect to be profitable and generate significant positive operating cash flow starting in 2025.

By 2027, we anticipate adjusted EBITDA to reach approximately $30 million annually, with net income surpassing $20 million. This should have a tremendously positive impact on our balance sheet, positioning us to self-fund our growth aspirations and reward our shareholders.”

The Company provides EBITDA guidance that may not include certain charges and costs, which in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from EBITDA in prior periods, such as income taxes, interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and amortization, net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities and items that are extraordinary or non-recurring, foreign currency transactions, net and prior years bad debt allowance. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods may have a significant impact on the Company’s EBITDA, and the Company may not be able to provide a reconciliation of its EBITDA guidance to net income (loss) without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs and the Company believes that such reconciliation, if possible, would imply a degree of precision that would be potentially confusing or misleading to investors.
