• Successful rebrand and relaunch of JOURNY, NextTrip's free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) travel channel, alongside strong early interest from leading hospitality brands eager to leverage the platform's unique content-to-commerce capabilities.

Subsequent Business and Operational Updates

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, NextTrip completed several strategic initiatives that management expects will meaningfully contribute to results going forward:

• Sales Team Expansion: NextTrip began the hiring process targeting additional travel sales personnel to support increased demand across its growing portfolio of leisure, luxury, and group travel offerings.

• Technology Investment: The Company launched a hiring and contracting initiative to add platform engineers and development staff to accelerate product integrations, feature releases, and time-to-market across its media and booking technologies.

• Margin Expansion: These investments are expected to drive higher margin advertising revenue and faster deployment of integrated media-to-commerce capabilities during the first half of FY 2027.

• Liquidity and Capital Resources: The Company engaged Ladenburg Thalmann and completed an institutional private placement of equity totaling $3.0 million, strengthening the Company's liquidity position, reducing near-term financial risk, and providing capital to support continued growth initiatives.

• GoUSA Asset Acquisition: The Company continued finalizing closing agreements for the planned asset purchase of the GoUSA platform and content assets, with closing expected in the near term, and has been preparing for a smooth integration into the NextTrip JOURNY media platform, including transitioning the entity into a for-profit, advertising-supported model.

Management Commentary

"The third quarter was a foundational building period for NextTrip," said Bill Kerby, Chief Executive Officer of NextTrip. "We focused on integrating acquisitions, strengthening our platform, expanding our sales capabilities, and improving liquidity. While Q3 included elevated, largely non-recurring professional costs tied to our corporate transition, we exited the quarter with strong deferred revenue, improved capital resources, and growing operational drive. The integration of key media and travel assets is expected to continue through Q4 as we shift from buildout to execution and continued financial momentum."

Kerby continued, "While calendar 2026 is centered on execution and scale, we view fiscal year 2027 (starting March 1, 2026) as the Company's truly pivotal expansion year. By then, our media distribution footprint, advertising programs, and commerce integrations are expected to be operating at scale, positioning NextTrip's content-to-commerce model to deliver accelerating revenue growth, margin expansion, and a clearer demonstration of the earnings power created by owning both the content and transaction layers."
