Cardiff Lexington Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

ECONOMY 19.05.2026

LEXINGTON, KY / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2026 / Cardiff Lexington Corporation (OTCQX:CDIX) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Text size:

Alex Cunningham, Chief Executive Officer of Cardiff Lexington, commented, "We continue to strengthen and expand our network of Nova Ortho and Spine locations to support growing patient demand with a focus on more high value procedures, and we remain confident in our ability to build a scalable platform through organic growth and acquisitions that deliver exceptional outcomes for patients. Furthermore, our recent upgrade to the OTCQX market represents an important step in increasing our visibility and credibility among institutional investors as we execute our strategic initiatives to enhance our access to working capital and drive sustainable, long-term growth and shareholder value."

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Total revenue was $2.2 million compared with $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in revenue is mainly attributable to a decrease in surgical procedures in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Gross profit was $1.3 million, or 59.3% of total revenue, compared with $1.8 million, or 63.1% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2025.

Total operating expenses increased to $1.8 million compared with $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily related to share based compensation of $664,000 in the first quarter of 2026, compared with no share based compensation in the first quarter of 2025. SG&A expense was $1.2 million, or 52.4% of revenue in the first quarter of 2026, compared with $1.3 million, or 43.9% of revenue in the first quarter of 2025.

Loss from continuing operations was $511,000, or (23.0%) of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2026, compared with income from continuing operations of $544,000, or 18.7% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2025.

Net loss in the first quarter of 2026 was $3.1 million compared with net loss of $451,000 in the first quarter of 2025. Included in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was interest expense of $1.9 million compared with interest expense of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the increase in initial and incremental fees charged on the number of existing purchases and claims under the Company's line of credit.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, which excludes interest expense, was $164,000 compared with non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $546,000 in the first quarter of 2025.

Balance Sheet

Cash totaled $684,000 as of March 31, 2026.

Total assets increased 4.1% to $30.3 million as of March 31, 2026.
