Arizona Tribune - Stemtech Corporation Issues 2025 Year-In-Review Letter Highlighting Corporate Strength, Global Expansion and Accelerating Market Opportunities

NAPLES, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2026 / Stemtech Corporation (OTCID:STEK), a The Pioneer and global leader in stem cell nutrition and plant-based wellness solutions, today issued a joint letter to shareholders from Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Charles S. Arnold and President and Chief Operating Officer John W. Meyer, outlining the Company's strategic progress in 2025 and the initiatives positioning the Company for growth in 2026 and beyond.

To Our Shareholders:

2025 was a year of discipline, realignment and strategic execution for Stemtech Corporation.

We operated in a dynamic global environment marked by evolving supply chains, tariff uncertainty, shifting input costs and rising demand for our high-quality, all-natural, plant-based wellness products. Against this backdrop, we remained focused on strengthening our foundation, supporting our global network of Independent Business Partners (IBPs) and positioning the Company to scale.

Today, Stemtech is emerging with a focused operating structure, an expanding global footprint and a renewed ability to meet growing demand across our markets.

Most importantly, we are experiencing increased alignment between several powerful forces:

• Rising global awareness of stem cell physiology and its health benefits

• Expanding demand for all-natural, science-based regenerative wellness solutions

• A highly engaged, entrepreneurial distributor network

• Growing acceptance of stem cell nutrition among medical community experts

• An aging population is increasingly focused on personal health and longevity

Global Sales and Marketing Expansion - Stemtech manages operations across three core geographic segments: North America, Latin America, with new focus on Asia including China (Peoples Republic of China), India, Taiwan (ROC) the Philippines and Indonesia. The Company is broadening its reach through Joint Venture (JV) partnerships in these regions. Under these arrangements, JV partners fund the manufacturing, sales and marketing, logistics and fulfillment functions, while Stemtech contributes the product formulations and intellectual property for its stemceutical^™ anti-aging and longevity products. The JVs are expected to consolidate under the Stemtech Corporation reporting structure, extending the Company's global footprint with limited capital outlay.

We believe this convergence creates a compelling, long-term growth opportunity for Stemtech.

Addressing Supply and Unlocking Growth

During 2025, the Company experienced intermittent constraints in product availability tied to global sourcing dynamics, tariff-related cost pressures, and the prioritization of working capital around the unique, internationally sourced raw materials required for production.

These factors temporarily limited our ability to fully meet the demand for many of our key products within our RCM (Release, Circulate, Migrate) nutritional health system.

Underlying consumer demand for Stemtech's products remained strong throughout the period, supported by a global stem cell market projected to reach $43.8 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of 21.3% (Research and Markets, May 8, 2026). The Company's 2025 revenue decline was attributable to a single, identifiable and now-resolved cause: a temporary inventory funding shortage that constrained the Company's ability to fulfill distributor orders, leading to deferred sales and some distributor attrition.

In response, management acted decisively to realign the cost structure, reducing total operating expenses by $2.3 million, or 37.7%, in FY 2025. This proactive cost discipline preserved cash and reflected management's view of the revenue decline as a temporary disruption rather than a structural change to the business model. The inventory funding shortage stemmed from external constraints on the Company's working capital facilities during 2025-related to credit facility considerations and the timing of financing arrangements-and did not reflect any deterioration in underlying demand. In short, the 2025 decline was supply-driven, not demand-driven: distributors continued to want Stemtech products, but the Company was temporarily unable to supply them. With dedicated inventory funding now secured, that constraint has been addressed.

John W. Meyer, President and Chief Operating Officer of Stemtech, stated, "The sporadic unavailability of our core stem cell nutrition ingredients created challenges for our Independent Business Partners (IBPs)and customers. Despite this, the strength and commitment of our distributor network remained evident, and demand for our products has continued to grow."

Stemtech moved quickly to strengthen its supply chain and capital position.

Most notably, the Company recently secured dedicated inventory funding, enabling:

• Improved production planning

• More consistent product availability

• Enhanced ability to fulfill distributor and customer demand to their satisfaction.

This initiative represents a critical inflection point, positioning Stemtech to convert growing demand into revenue while supporting the continued expansion of its global network of Independent Business Partners (IBPs).

Recent Strategic and Operational Milestones

-Stemtech manages operations across three core geographic segments: North America, Latin America, and the emerging markets of Asia and India. During 2025, the Company significantly expanded agreements for its global reach, including:

• Entry into China, a market of approximately 1.4 billion people, with planned local manufacturing

• Entry into India, a market of approximately 1.4 billion people, with planned local manufacturing

• Expansion in Taiwan through an exclusive distribution licensing agreement

• Continued operations across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Ecuador

• These initiatives broaden Stemtech's access to high-growth international wellness markets and strengthen its long-term global positioning.

• Dr. M. Zahooruddin, M.D. (Pakistan), who has recommended Stemtech products to his patients for sixteen years with positive results, joined the Life Sciences Advisory Board

These additions enhance the Company's scientific credibility and support continued product innovation.

New Market Channels and Category Expansion - Stemtech has expanded into new high-growth categories and distribution channels, including:

• StemPets^™ (launched June 2025) - A nutritional supplement for dogs and cats, entering the global pet wellness market, estimated at over $300 billion annually

• BioSciences (stemtechbiosciences.com) E-commerce Platform - A new direct-to-consumer channel delivering Stemtech's stemceutical^™ products via a streamlined Shopify-based platform

• Amazon distribution

These initiatives diversify revenue streams and expand customer access, creating new sales opportunities.

Product Innovation and Commercial Execution - Stemtech continues to advance its position as The Stem Cell Nutrition Company, developing science-based regenerative wellness products designed to support natural healthy stem cell physiology.

The Company's core product portfolio includes:

• RCM System

• stemrelease3^™ (stem cell release)

• StemFlo^® Advanced (stem cell circulation)

• MigraStem^® (stem cell migration)

• OraStem^® all-natural toothpaste

• Cellect One^® Rapid Renew Stem Cell Peptide Night Cream

StemBolix^™ (Metabolic System support, currently available in Mexico only)

In 2025, Stemtech expanded its product offerings with:

• Cellect One^® Shield HOCL (hypochlorous acid-based skincare)

• StemPets^™

These products are designed to support the release, circulation and migration of adult stem cells-supporting the body's natural regenerative processes.

A Differentiated Model Built for Scale

Stemtech operates a capital-efficient global distribution model powered by a network of independent distributors(IBP`s) and digital commerce platforms.

This model enables:

• Rapid market entry

• Scalable revenue growth

• Direct engagement with end consumers

We believe our Independent Business Partners represent a significant competitive advantage-bringing entrepreneurial energy, personal experience, local market knowledge and strong customer relationships to our platform.

Positioned for a Growing Market

The global wellness market continues to expand rapidly, driven by increasing demand for:

• Preventative health solutions

• Natural and plant-based products

• Longevity and performance optimization

Within this landscape, Stemtech occupies a differentiated position focused specifically on stem cell nutrition, a category we believe remains underpenetrated and poised for long-term growth.

Looking Ahead

As we move through 2026, our priorities are clear:

• Restore consistent product availability for our customers

• Convert demand into sustained revenue growth and profitability

• Expand global distribution through Joint Ventures that reduce capital constraints

• Advance and update product innovation

• Strengthen our financial foundation

We believe the steps taken over the past year, particularly our inventory funding initiative and global expansion efforts, position Stemtech to enter a new phase of execution.

"We are building a scalable platform in stem cell nutrition," said Charles S. Arnold. "The work we have done positions Stemtech to better serve our distributors, meet growing demand and capitalize on the long-term opportunity in global wellness. The most meaningful validation comes from the consumers who use our products and the positive response we continue to receive from them."

On behalf of our dedicated leadership team, we thank our shareholders, partners and valued Independent Business Partners and customers for their continued support.

Sincerely,

Charles S. Arnold
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
