Exhibit 99.1
Elite Express Holding Inc. Reports Second Quarter
2026 Results
LAGUNA
HILLS, Calif., July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Elite Express Holding Inc. (“ETS” or the “Company”)
(Nasdaq: ETS), a California-based provider of last-mile delivery services, today reported results for the quarter ended May 31, 2026.
Second
Quarter 2026 Financial Results
For
the three months ended May 31, 2026, the Company reported revenue of $726,829, representing an increase of $96,579, or 15.3%,
compared with $630,250 for the three months ended May 31, 2025. Activity-based revenue accounted for $512,123, or 70.4% of total revenue,
during the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared with $470,826, or 74.6% of total revenue, for the same period in the prior year.
Fixed revenue, including weekly service charges and branding-related revenue, increased from $156,473 for the three months ended May
31, 2025 to $214,333 for the three months ended May 31, 2026. This increase was primarily attributable to higher weekly service charge
rates under the Company's ISP agreement with FedEx, which was renewed on February 21, 2026. Other Pickup and Delivery revenue decreased
from $2,951 for the three months ended May 31, 2025 to $373 for the three months ended May 31, 2026, representing a decrease of $2,578.
The
Company also reported cost of revenue of $645,792 for the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared with $612,248 for the three
months ended May 31, 2025, representing an increase of $33,544, or 5.5% This increase was primarily due to increased maintenance and
repair costs and higher cost of service related to the rental of additional vehicles to fulfill the Company’s delivery volume obligations.
For the three months ended May 31, 2026, the
Company reported gross profit of $81,037, compared with $18,002 for the three months ended May 31, 2025, representing an improvement
of $63,035. Gross margin improved to 11.1% for the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared with 2.9% in the prior-year period. The
improvement was primarily attributable to higher revenue growth, which outpaced the increase in cost of revenue.
General
and administrative expenses for the Company increased by $564,310, or 398.1%, to $706,072 for the three months ended May 31, 2026,
from $141,762 for the three months ended May 31, 2025. The increase was mainly due to (i) $115,312 in higher professional fees, primarily
related to audit services, financial reporting, and SEC and regulatory compliance related to the Comnpany’s transition to a public
company; (ii) $196,697 in higher payroll expenses associated with personnel supporting corporate governance, internal controls, and administrative
operations; (iii) a $200,000 increase in franchise tax expenses; and (iv) $52,301 in other expenses.
During the three months ended May 31, 2026, the
Company's loans receivable portfolio, which originated in fiscal 2025, generated interest income of $224,606. The loans were extended
to unrelated third-party business partners to generate interest income on the net proceeds from the Company's initial public offering
prior to their deployment for the purposes described in the Company's prospectus. Each loan originally bore interest at an annual rate
of 8% and matured in May 2026 following the agreed extension of the original terms. During the three months ended May 31, 2026, the Company
received principal repayments totaling $300,000. Effective June 1, 2026, the remaining outstanding loans were extended for an additional
six months and now bear interest at an annual rate of 5%, and will mature on November 30, 2026. As of the date of this release, the Company
has received aggregate interest payments of $400,000. All loans remain secured by irrevocable personal unlimited joint and several liability
guarantees provided by the shareholders or chief executive officers of the respective borrowers, and the Company has no related-party
relationships with the borrowers.
The
Company reported a net loss of $2,532,942 for the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared with a net loss of $107,604 for the
same period of 2025, representing an increase of $2,425,338, or 2,253.9%. The increase was primarily attributable to significant research
and development expenses associated with the Company's long-term strategic initiatives, partially offset by higher revenue, improved
gross profitability, and interest income earned on loans receivable.

Yidan Chen, ETS’s CEO commented, “Our
second quarter results demonstrate continued operational progress reflecting the continued effectiveness of our operational execution
and efficiency initiatives.
“During the quarter, we continued to optimize
route management, fleet utilization, and labor productivity while making significant investments in research and development to support
our long-term technology strategy. Although these investments had a significant impact on our GAAP net results for the quarter, we believe
they will strengthen our competitive position and enhance our long-term growth prospects.”
