Six-Month Revenue More Than Doubles to Approximately $2.0 Million; JOURNY TV Audience Engagement and Advertising Gains Support Second-Half Commercialization Strategy SUNRISE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / October 15, 2026 / NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRP) ("NextTrip," the "Company," "we," "our," or "us"), a technology-forward travel and media company defining the intersection of media, travel, and the creator economy, today announced preliminary financial results and provided a business update for its fiscal second quarter and six months ended August 31, 2026. Second Quarter and Subsequent Operating Highlights - Six-month revenue increased approximately 122% to approximately $2.0 million, compared with approximately $0.9 million in the prior-year period. - Deferred revenue totaled approximately $1.2 million at quarter-end, supported in part by continued cruise-booking activity. - Completed the consolidation of JOURNY TV and GoUSA TV into a unified brand, operating platform and technology stack, with related integration initiatives substantially completed after quarter-end. - Advanced NextTrip Pro toward its initial commercial rollout following product enhancements designed to strengthen the travel agency and advisor offering. - Reported more than 307 million JOURNY TV viewing minutes for January-August 2026 and significant Samsung U.S. programmatic advertising gains following the July advertising operations transition, providing an initial operating baseline for the consolidated media platform. Preliminary Financial Results Revenue context Second-quarter revenue was $546,687, a decrease of approximately 28% from $757,648 in the prior-year quarter. For the six-month period, revenue increased approximately 122% to $1,998,422 from $896,475 in the comparable prior-year period. Deferred revenue was approximately $1.2 million at quarter-end, supported in part by continued growth in cruise bookings. Deferred revenue is generally recognized when the related travel or service is fulfilled and is not necessarily indicative of revenue to be recognized in any particular future period. Management commentary "Second-quarter revenue was below our expectations as we made a conscious decision to take the time needed to build a stronger foundation for future growth, prioritizing enhancements to NextTrip Pro and the consolidation of JOURNY TV and GoUSA TV over maximizing near-term revenue from our existing offerings," said Bill Kerby, Chief Executive Officer of NextTrip. "We believe this work positions the business for more sustainable growth as we move into broader commercialization. "The NextTrip Pro enhancements are designed to serve host agencies, individual advisors and travel influencers, while the JOURNY TV integration brought branding, programming, content licensing, technology and advertising operations onto a unified platform. These initiatives were substantially completed after quarter-end. JOURNY TV's recently reported viewing metrics and Samsung U.S. advertising improvements give us a clearer baseline for execution and commercialization. Our focus during the second half is on advisor adoption, advertising and sponsorship sales, broader JOURNYGO deployment and our initial YADA and NextTrip LIVE initiatives, including the first music concert in November. We believe these capabilities strengthen our ability to connect entertainment and travel inspiration with planning, booking and fulfillment." Second-Quarter Operating Priorities During the second quarter, the Company concentrated personnel and capital on two initiatives intended to strengthen the commercial foundation of its travel advisor and media businesses: NextTrip Pro commercial readiness. The Company made additional modifications to its B2B travel advisor offering to strengthen the initial commercial product before launch. NextTrip Pro brings together NextTrip Connect, NextTrip Groups and NextTrip Ownership Rewards through a single-sign-on platform designed to support customer acquisition, relationship management, group operations, attribution and travel booking. NextTrip expects to begin initial commercial rollout and advisor onboarding activities during the third quarter. JOURNY TV consolidation and monetization infrastructure. The Company completed the rebranding and consolidation of GoUSA TV into JOURNY TV, bringing the channels onto a single brand, operating platform and technology stack. The work included the platform technology transition, deployment of advertising operations capabilities and expansion across existing and new distribution platforms. Related integration initiatives were substantially completed after quarter-end. The unified platform supports advertising and sponsorship commercialization, with initial Samsung U.S. programmatic advertising improvements providing a measurable example of the progress made. JOURNY TV Advertising and Platform Expansion. As previously reported in its initial JOURNY TV metrics release, the Company generated more than 307 million viewing minutes from January through August 2026, averaging approximately 38 million minutes per month, with reported on-screen viewing time exceeding 30 minutes. JOURNY TV's distribution spans more than a dozen major platforms in approximately 100 countries, with estimated potential global reach exceeding 250 million viewers. Potential distribution reach is distinct from measured viewers or viewing minutes. Recent expansions include YouTube, international LG Channels distribution and JOURNY Español across Spanish-language markets; the January-August viewing results exclude YouTube's contribution. These metrics provide a baseline for audience engagement and commercialization rather than a measure of second-quarter financial performance. These capabilities support content ingest and quality control, programming and scheduling, playout workflows, FAST and connected-TV distribution, channel monitoring, advertising technology integration and inventory monetization. The expanded infrastructure also provides reporting across key audience and advertising metrics, including minutes watched, platform and geographic performance, advertising impressions, fill rates, revenue generated per thousand impressions and overall advertising revenue. Following the July 2026 transition to a new advertising operations partner, average monthly Samsung U.S. programmatic advertising revenue increased approximately 668% in the post-transition reporting period available to date compared with the January-June 2026 monthly average, while average cost per thousand advertising impressions (CPM) increased nearly sixfold. These improvements and continued growth in available inventory support projected calendar-year 2026 Samsung U.S. programmatic advertising revenue nearly doubling versus calendar-year 2025. These figures relate exclusively to Samsung U.S. programmatic advertising and do not represent total JOURNY TV or NextTrip consolidated revenue. The full-year figure is a projection covering January-December, separate from the Company's fiscal-year reporting. The August 2026 Elemental TV JOURNY Audience Extension Model estimates that approximately 56% of viewers are age 45 or older and approximately 36% are in households earning $200,000 or more, compared with 23% in the modeled blended distribution footprint. These modeled estimates combine measured delivery data with platform-published audience composition and are an audience-planning reference, not a direct census of viewers across JOURNY TV's global distribution. Together with sustained viewing engagement, they provide context for advertiser, sponsor and travel-partner discussions. Content to Commerce and Growth Initiatives JOURNYGO. The Company completed the beta phase of JOURNYGO, its content-to-commerce engagement tool designed to connect on-screen travel inspiration with AI-assisted discovery, planning and bookable travel options. Based on initial beta engagement, NextTrip plans broader deployments across additional shows and distribution platforms during the third quarter, creating additional opportunities to measure how viewers move from content engagement toward travel consideration and booking. Advertising and sponsorship pipeline. Separate from programmatic advertising, NextTrip's direct sales organization has built a pipeline of more than $5 million in potential new media advertising, sponsorship and strategic partnership opportunities over the four months covered by the previously announced JOURNY TV metrics update. These opportunities are under discussion and are not contracted commitments or guaranteed revenue. With expanded advertising operations and performance reporting supporting JOURNY TV, the Company is working to convert commercial interest into direct campaigns, sponsorships and branded-content relationships across its media and travel ecosystem. YADA and NextTrip LIVE. NextTrip expects its controlling interest in YADA Commerce and the launch of the first YADA and NextTrip LIVE event and concert initiatives to begin contributing during the third quarter. The Company also expects these initiatives to create opportunities across creator commerce, sponsorship, event revenue and travel bookings. NextTrip Groups is intended to support reservations, attendee travel and event logistics, providing infrastructure that can be used across future events and entertainment categories. Cruise. Cruise bookings continued to grow during the quarter and contributed to the Company's deferred-revenue balance. The Company's cruise platform provides access to more than 10,000 sailings across over 35 cruise lines, expanding the range of higher-value travel products available through the NextTrip ecosystem. Revenue from cruise bookings is generally recognized in connection with fulfillment of the related travel. Multiple Commercialization Channels The Company's second-half commercialization strategy spans complementary revenue channels. JOURNY TV is designed to generate advertising, sponsorship and branded-content revenue around entertainment and travel-inspirational programming, while JOURNYGO and the Company's booking infrastructure connect that inspiration with travel discovery, planning and transactions. NextTrip Pro supports travel agency and advisor adoption, customer engagement and booking activity; YADA and NextTrip LIVE create opportunities across creator commerce, sponsorship, event revenue and group travel. Each business serves its own market while contributing capabilities to the broader ecosystem. Management believes these capabilities can increasingly reinforce one another from audience engagement through booking and fulfillment. Fiscal 2027 Outlook NextTrip expects operating activity to strengthen and ramp during the second half of fiscal 2027 as the Company transitions from platform integration and product enhancement toward commercialization. The timing and level of contribution from these initiatives will depend on commercial launch schedules, customer and advisor adoption, advertising demand, campaign timing, travel fulfillment and event execution. Management's current priorities include: - Launching the initial commercial offering of NextTrip Pro and beginning advisor onboarding and adoption; - Expanding JOURNY TV advertising, sponsorship and programmatic monetization, informed by the initial Samsung U.S. advertising results and enhanced audience and performance reporting; - Deploying JOURNYGO across additional programming and distribution platforms; - Growing cruise, luxury, group and experiential travel bookings; and - Beginning the contribution of YADA Commerce and NextTrip LIVE initiatives, including travel activity supported through NextTrip Groups. During the balance of fiscal 2027, management expects the most relevant indicators of operating progress to include NextTrip Pro advisor onboarding and booking activity; JOURNY TV audience, advertising-impression and monetization metrics; broader deployment and engagement of JOURNYGO; cruise and group-travel bookings; and initial contributions from YADA Commerce and NextTrip LIVE initiatives. Additional Financial Information Complete financial results for the quarter and six months ended August 31, 2026, including operating expenses, net loss, loss per share, cash and liquidity information, will be included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Carnival (CCL) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.43 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.36 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.43 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +5.15%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this cruise operator would post earnings of $0.35 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.41, delivering a surprise of +17.14%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times. Carnival, which belongs to the Zacks Leisure and Recreation Services industry, posted revenues of $8.44 billion for the quarter ended August 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.87%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $8.15 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Carnival shares have lost about 27.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.2%. While Carnival has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Carnival was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.24 on $6.38 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.20 on $27.62 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year. Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Leisure and Recreation Services is currently in the bottom 31% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. NextTrip, Inc. (NTRP), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended August 2026. This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.24 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +38.5%.

Revenue Increased to $1.45 Million as Company Continues Transition Toward Higher-Margin Travel, Media and Creator Commerce Platform SANTA FE, NM / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2026 / NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRP) ("NextTrip," "the Company," "we," "our," or "us"), a technology-forward travel and media company defining the intersection of travel, media and the creator economy, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended May 31, 2026. The Company reported first quarter revenue of approximately $1.45 million, compared to $138,827 during the same period last year, representing year-over-year growth of more than 940%. While the first fiscal quarter has historically represented the seasonal low point in NextTrip's annual travel booking cycle, management believes the Company is entering a pivotal inflection point as multiple strategic initiatives implemented over the past year begin to gain traction. These initiatives are expected to drive meaningful revenue growth, improve gross margins, and increase the contribution of higher-margin media, advertising, and technology businesses to the Company's overall revenue profile. "Our first quarter represents another meaningful milestone in NextTrip's transformation," said Bill Kerby, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NextTrip. "Over the past eighteen months we have assembled an integrated platform that combines premium travel media, proprietary booking technology, luxury travel, group travel, AI-driven engagement, creator commerce and advertising into a differentiated content-to-commerce ecosystem. While Q1 has historically been our seasonally slowest quarter, we believe the investments we've made and key product launches in the travel division and the completion of the GoUSA TV integration in August are positioning the Company for accelerating growth through the remainder of Fiscal 2027." Kerby continued, "We are beginning to see meaningful traction across multiple growth initiatives. Our cruise platform is gaining momentum, our expanded advertising sales organization is entering the market with significantly greater inventory, our media infrastructure consolidation is nearly complete, and our recent acquisition of a controlling interest in YADA positions NextTrip to participate directly in the rapidly growing creator economy. We believe Fiscal 2027 represents a true inflection point where these strategic investments begin translating into stronger revenue growth, improved gross margins and enhanced operating leverage." First Quarter Highlights Revenue increased to approximately $1.45 million, compared to $138,827 during the prior-year quarter. Revenue increased by more than 940% year-over-year, continuing the Company's multi-quarter growth trajectory. The Company's recently launched NextTrip Cruise platform continues gaining traction, generating approximately $400,000 in cruise bookings during recent weeks, further expanding one of the Company's higher-margin travel product categories. Four senior travel advertising executives joined the Company near the end of the first quarter and have begun introducing NextTrip's expanded advertising platform to travel brands, tourism organizations, cruise companies, airlines, hotels and destination marketing organizations. Management expects these efforts to contribute to higher-margin advertising and sponsorship revenue throughout Fiscal 2027. The Company is consolidating its JOURNY TV and GoUSA TV media infrastructure into a unified technology stack, content library and programming operation, with all platforms operating under the JOURNY TV brand featuring expanded domestic and international travel entertainment and inspirational programming. The Company continues integrating its recently announced acquisition of a controlling interest in YADA Commerce Inc., a licensed TikTok Partner Agency, expanding NextTrip's capabilities in creator recruitment, audience development, affiliate commerce, livestream commerce and creator monetization. Media Platform Expansion The consolidation of JOURNY TV and GoUSA TV significantly expands NextTrip's owned media platform while creating operational efficiencies and substantially increasing available advertising inventory across the Company's connected television (CTV), FAST channel, digital and social media distribution platforms. "The completion of our media platform consolidation represents a major operational milestone," said Casey D'Ambra, President of NextTrip Media. "By bringing JOURNY TV and GoUSA TV together under a single technology infrastructure and unified programming strategy, we are creating a truly global travel entertainment platform with significantly expanded domestic and international content, broader audience reach and considerably more monthly advertising impressions available for our growing advertising sales organization. This position helps us to better serve advertisers while delivering an enhanced viewing experience across every platform where JOURNY is distributed." Looking Ahead Management believes Fiscal 2027 will continue demonstrating the benefits of the Company's diversified business model as higher-margin revenue streams, including luxury travel, cruise bookings, group travel, advertising, sponsorships, creator commerce and AI-powered travel technology, represent an increasing percentage of overall revenue. The Company also expects continued momentum from several recently completed strategic initiatives, including the expansion of its advertising sales organization, the integration of YADA Commerce and the continued building out of the Travel Magazine community platform as part of its ongoing expansion of its global media distribution footprint. Additionally, significant focus has been placed on the launch of the company's Travel Agent platform which will offer agents connectivity through a comprehensive white label solution - NextTrip Pro. NextTrip Pro is a first of its kind agent platform giving agents highly competitive commissions as well as access to our Agentic AI tools for planning travel, our new groups platform NextTrip Groups (formally TA Pipeline), and our NextTrip Connect platform giving agents superior marketing tools that access to our media assets (video, blogs, articles, images and AI enhanced search from Travel Magazine). Rollout of the complete Platform will happen in August. The new technology platforms also become key accelerants in handling our recently announced Music Events projects with Yada, our expanding Destination Wedding programs as part of the "I Do" television series and the core cruise and travel businesses being driven by our significantly expanded audience reach in JOURNY TV due to the integration of GO USA TV and KC Global Media. "We believe NextTrip today is fundamentally different than it was a year ago," Kerby added. "We've built an integrated platform designed to monetize both media audiences and travel transactions while creating multiple recurring revenue opportunities. As these businesses continue scaling together, we believe we're well positioned to deliver meaningful long-term shareholder value." About NextTrip NextTrip, Inc.

NextTrip reports preliminary revenue of approximately $3.7 million for the year ended February 28, 2026, representing more than 640% year-over-year growth Fourth quarter preliminary revenue of approximately $1.6 million, up from approximately $1.2 million in the prior quarter Company advances a category-defining content-to-commerce platform, integrating global travel media, AI-driven engagement, and booking infrastructure SANTA FE, NM / ACCESS Newswire / May 21, 2026 / NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRP) ("NextTrip," "we," "our," or the "Company"), a technology-forward travel and media company defining the intersection of Media and Travel, today announced the preliminary financial results for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, marking a pivotal year in the Company's evolution from a travel services business into a fully integrated, media-driven commerce platform. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, NextTrip expects to report revenue of approximately $3.7 million, compared to approximately $500,000 in the prior year, representing more than 640% year-over-year growth. The fourth quarter continued this trajectory, with preliminary revenue of approximately $1.6 million, reflecting sequential growth and accelerating platform adoption. Deferred revenue, not yet recognized in the quarter, totaled an additional $1.6 million, reflecting contracted business expected to be recognized in future periods. All results are preliminary and subject to finalization in connection with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K expected to be filed by the end of May. The Shift: From Search-Based Travel to Content-Led Commerce Travel is undergoing a structural transformation. For decades, online travel has been defined by search, users typing destinations into booking engines and comparing commoditized options. That model is being disrupted. Today, travel decisions are increasingly driven by content, storytelling, and immersive video experiences. Consumers no longer begin with "where should I go?", they begin with "I saw something I want to experience." NextTrip is built for this shift. A New Platform: Where Inspiration Becomes Transaction "Fiscal 2026 was the year NextTrip moved beyond building infrastructure and began activating a new category, where media doesn't just inspire travel, it directly drives it," said Bill Kerby, Chief Executive Officer of NextTrip. "We are not simply operating a travel booking business or a media company. We are building a platform designed to influence intent at the moment of inspiration and convert that intent into high-value transactions within a single ecosystem." At the core of this model is NextTrip's content-to-commerce architecture, designed to seamlessly connect: Inspiration (JOURNY.tv and global travel content) Engagement (interactive overlays, AI-assisted discovery, and mid-funnel editorial) Transaction (proprietary booking platform, concierge services, and group travel tools) This model, "Watch. Scan. Book. Go.", represents a fundamental departure from traditional online travel agency (OTA) frameworks. Building the Foundation of a Global Travel Media Network During fiscal 2026, NextTrip assembled and expanded a global media footprint designed to operate as the top-of-funnel engine for travel demand: JOURNY.tv ExpansionA rapidly scaling global travel streaming platform delivering premium, cinematic travel content across FAST, OTT, and digital channels, designed to inspire high-intent travelers at scale. Strategic Content IntegrationExpansion of both original programming and licensed travel content, increasing engagement and enabling continuous audience growth. Global Distribution and ReachThrough owned platforms and strategic partnerships, including international expansion initiatives, NextTrip is building toward a projected global audience of hundreds of millions of viewers across approximately 80 countries. From Audience to Revenue: Monetizing Travel Intent Unlike traditional media companies that monetize primarily through advertising, NextTrip is designed to monetize both attention and action. Through its integrated ecosystem, the Company captures travel intent and converts it into bookings across higher-value verticals, including: Luxury travel Cruises Destination weddings and group travel Experiential and curated travel packages This dual monetization model, advertising plus transaction-based revenue, positions NextTrip to participate more directly in the economics of the global travel industry. Strategic Acquisitions Powering the Ecosystem To support this platform, NextTrip executed a series of strategic acquisitions and integrations during fiscal 2026, including: Five Star Alliance - Expanding luxury travel supply and high-value booking capabilities TA Pipeline - Building scalable infrastructure for group and event-based travel GoUSA Content Assets - Enhancing global travel content distribution and audience reach Together, these assets form the foundation of a vertically integrated system designed to capture demand, facilitate booking, and deliver higher-margin travel experiences. Entering the Next Phase: Scaling the Platform With its core infrastructure in place, NextTrip is entering what it believes to be the next phase of its growth: Scale. Monetize. Expand. In fiscal 2027, the Company intends to focus on: Scaling global distribution of JOURNY and related media assets Expanding advertising, sponsorship, and brand partnership revenue, and has just added experienced travel ad sales members to the team Increasing conversion rates across its booking ecosystem Enhancing personalization through AI-driven engagement tools Deepening penetration in high-margin travel verticals Defining the Future of Travel Commerce "We believe the next generation of travel companies will not be defined by inventory or pricing, they will be defined by who owns inspiration," Kerby added. "NextTrip is building a platform designed to sit at the very beginning of the travel journey and remain there through booking and beyond. As this model scales, we believe it has the potential to redefine how travel is discovered, planned, and purchased globally. About NextTrip NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRP) is a technology-forward travel and media company defining the intersection of media and travel. Through its owned media platforms, including JOURNY.tv and TravelMagazine.com, and its proprietary travel technology stack, NextTrip delivers an integrated inspiration-to-booking ecosystem that connects travel discovery directly to transaction and fulfillment.

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."
