We believe that these efforts are already delivering measurable results." Mr. Ernst added, "Coupled with our long-standing CDC partnership, continued operational discipline, and our focused growth strategy, I'm excited by the opportunities that lie ahead."
Momentum Building Across Wellness Channels and Brands
During the past several months, XWELL achieved several milestones that underscore the Company's momentum in expanding beyond airport terminals and into growing consumer wellness markets:
- In June 2025, XWELL was named the Official Wellness Spa of the Orlando Magic through a multiyear partnership, marking a major step in the Company's strategic push into local markets, beginning with Florida.
- XpresSpa was recently recognized as one of Yelp's "Most Loved Airport Brands," ranking #10 based on millions of traveler reviews, further validating its strong customer loyalty and brand equity.
- The Company expanded its relationship with Priority Pass, providing members with access to an enhanced range of wellness services across both its U.S. and international locations.
- The Company recently unveiled a newly redesigned website, accessible at www.XWELL.com which integrates all of its wellness and beauty brands — XpresSpa®, Naples Wax Center®, XpresCheck®, and HyperPointe™ — into one seamless, user-first digital experience. Customers can now easily explore locations, connect with spa staff, and book services in just a few clicks.
- This summer, XWELL celebrated the opening of an out-of-airport locations in Clearwater, Florida while advancing plans for its New York City's Penn Station location -- a pivotal step toward making premium self-care more accessible in high-traffic, high-need environments.
- In Clearwater, Florida, the Company opened a full-service wellness center offering massage, skincare, and recovery treatments in a standalone, modern retail setting.
- In New York City, New York, the Penn Station location is anticipated to serve as a grab-and-go destination for wellness essentials tailored to busy commuters.
- XWELL also continues to pursue opportunities to potentially acquire select medical spas in high-demand cities such as Orlando, Florida, Dallas, Texas and Salt Lake City, Utah -- extending its reach into the broader consumer wellness landscape and building a presence beyond the travel corridor.
Together, these initiatives reflect XWELL's continued progress executing its strategy to diversify access points, elevate brand relevance, and deepen engagement with consumers both in and beyond airports.
Biosurveillance Program
Through XpresCheck and HyperPointe, XWELL continues to operate at the frontlines of biosurveillance and digital healthcare infrastructure.
In March 2025, XWELL secured a three-year extension of its Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance Program ("TGS"), operated with the CDC and Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings. The TGS program, provides early detection of emerging pathogens, safeguarding national health through airport-based biosurveillance.
XpresCheck, which helped power national COVID-19 testing and reporting during the pandemic, and HyperPointe serve as the operational and technological core of this next phase of strategic, science-driven wellness program.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $5.3 million of cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash), approximately $2.9 million in marketable securities, total current assets of approximately $11.8 million, and no long-term debt.
Second Quarter Financial Overview
- Revenue: Approximately $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, consisted of approximately $4.9 million for XpresSpa, approximately $2.2 million for XpresCheck, and approximately $647,000 for Naples Wax Center. Second quarter 2025 revenue increased sequentially from approximately $7.0 million reported for the first quarter of 2025 and decreased from approximately $9.3 million reported for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year revenue decrease was primarily the result of additional CDC revenue generated during the second quarter of 2024 from providing more services to airports than the base contract amounts, which in turn resulted in increased surge billing prices.
