Fort Myers, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - March 31, 2026) - Naples Soap Company, Inc. (OTCQB: NASO), a leading omni-channel health and wellness brand offering premium-quality skin, hair, and personal care products, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 in conjunction with its Annual Disclosure Statement filed on the OTCQB Venture Market.

Against a backdrop of broader macroeconomic pressures, the Company delivered meaningful progress across several key financial and operational metrics in 2025. We are entering 2026 from a position of renewed strength. With 13 open store locations, including the successful reopening of our Sanibel flagship, we are well-positioned to capitalize on improving conditions and drive continued growth. During 2025, we expanded our omnichannel presence across both e-commerce and wholesale, further diversifying our revenue streams and deepening customer reach. These results underscore the Company's resilience and reflect the tangible impacts of our 2024 strategic turnaround initiative.

Leadership Commentary

"The results we are reporting today reflect the extraordinary work our team has undertaken over the past 18 months. Since launching our strategic turnaround in 2024, we have made disciplined, and at times difficult, decisions to maintain top-line performance while systematically reducing operating expenses and streamlining the business. As a result, Naples Soap has emerged as a leaner, more focused, and more resilient company. Importantly, this progress is not solely driven by cost discipline, we are also building the operational infrastructure required to scale. This is most evident in our digital channel, where a complete reset of our marketing approach has driven 15% year-over-year e-commerce growth through improved customer acquisition, platform management, and digital storytelling. This is not incremental, it is transformational. As we look ahead, we are operating as a more agile, growth-oriented company and remain confident in our trajectory."

- Deanna Wallin, Founder & CEO, Naples Soap Company, Inc.
