Item 1. Business

The Company

Cosmos Health Inc. was incorporated in 2009 in Nevada and is a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group, owner of proprietary pharmaceutical and nutraceutical brands, generics, manufacturer and distributor of healthcare products, engaged in research & development of innovative medicines and repurposing drugs as well as operator of a telehealth platform.

As a global company we are harnessing our expertise and stepping up innovation to continue the momentum behind the discovery, delivery, and expanded development of modern pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.

Our Markets

We operate in the healthcare sector and particularly in the Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical businesses. We cover vertically several process phases within the abovementioned sectors, such as research & development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of products and services. More specifically, we operate in generic medicines, nutraceuticals, biocides, medical devices, novel oncology drugs, drug repurposing and telehealth services.

Generic medicines are the pharmaceutical and therapeutic equivalents of branded pharmaceutical products and are generally marketed under their generic (chemical) names rather than by brand names. Typically, a generic drug may not be marketed until the expiration of applicable patent(s) on the corresponding branded product, unless a resolution of patent litigation results in an earlier opportunity to enter the market. Generic drugs are the same as branded products in dosage form, safety, efficacy, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use, but they are sold generally at prices below those of the corresponding branded products. Generic drugs provide a cost-effective alternative for consumers, while maintaining the same high quality, efficacy, safety profile, purity and stability of the branded product.

The Company also conducts its business within the global nutraceuticals market with our own brand which we consider to be highly qualitative and competitive. Nutraceuticals are defined as products that contain at least one dietary ingredient within them and can be consumed orally. Some of the purposes of nutraceuticals are used for immune system defense, energy, stress, bones and joints.

According to a study published by Towards Healthcare, the global generic drugs market was valued at $424.98 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $874.63 billion by 2033, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.35% throughout the forecasted period. The rise in patent expiration, increasing demand for cost-effective and efficient medicines and less complex approval process for generics drive the market growth.

Theglobal nutraceuticals market size is calculated at USD 591.15 billion in 2024, grew to USD 636.31 billion in Q1 2025, and is projected to reach around USD 1,234 billion by 2034. The market is expanding at a CAGR of 7.64% between 2025 and 2034. This indicates a growing interest in products that promote wellness and help prevent illness. This shift towards focusing on preventive health is driving an increase in market demand.

According to the Towards Healthcare study, theglobal obesity & weight management market size is calculated at USD 163.13 billion in 2024 and is expected to be worth USD 362.1 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2024 to 2034, driven by the increasing prevalence of obesity and its associated health risks, including diabetes, hypertension, and orthopedic conditions.

According to Future Market Insights, theglobal hospital disinfectant products and services market size is expected to reach $75.6 billion in value by 2033. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% during the forecast period, with the EU and UK market playing a significant role.

According to Fortune Business Insights, the** global oncology drugs** market size was valued at USD 201.75 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 220.80 billion in 2024 to USD 518.25 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period (2024-2032).

The globaldrug repurposing marketsize is anticipated to reach USD 30.1 billion by 2028, up from USD 24.5 billion in 2021, reflecting a CAGR of 2.9% over the 2022-2028 period. Drug repurposing, often referred to as re-profiling, is the process of identifying new therapeutic applications for approved and marketed drugs that have already been through safety and efficacy testing and has emerged as a key strategy by the vast majority of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies to fuel significant business expansion. Notably, between 2007 and 2009, 30-40% of all biologics approved in the U.S. were either repurposed or repositioned drugs.

ZipDoctor’s online telemedicine platform is available to customers across the United States and offers English and Spanish coverage with virtual visits taking place either by telephone or through a secured video chat platform.

Drug Repurposing

Cloudscreen® (Cloudscreen) is a multimodal platform for drug repositioning and repurposing. It integrates both 1D and 3D data types into its AI algorithm, which thoroughly analyzes the druggable proteome and variome, offering accurate predictions for repurposing of existing drugs toward new indications. The platform is accompanied by in vitro validation for both toxicity and effectiveness.

Finding new therapeutic applications for previously researched drugs can offer patients quicker access to novel treatments. Such a strategy not only benefits developers by reducing time and costs but also retains the original IP protection. Especially for high-cost conditions like cancer, exploring anti-cancer potentials in a vast array of off-patent drugs, which have already established their safety profiles, is a powerful tactic preferred by most leading pharmaceutical enterprises.

We have built on promising preclinical discoveries, predictive insights, and simulations generated by Cosmos Health's AI-powered Cloudscreen® drug repurposing platform. Recent in vitro studies have validated the therapeutic potential of a repurposed marketed drug for both indications, with inventors establishing a novel mechanism of action unique to each of the following disease. For instance:

-Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system, leading to a broad spectrum of symptoms and potentially significant disability. According to the Atlas of MS, the global prevalence of MS has increased from 2.3 million individuals in 2013 to 2.9 million in 2023.
-Gliomas are a diverse group of primary brain and spinal cord tumors originating from glial cells. In oncology, gliomas account for approximately 30% of all central nervous system tumors and about 80% of all malignant brain tumors.
-Hematologic malignancies encompass a diverse group of cancers affecting the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system, including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. These diseases account for a significant portion of cancer diagnoses worldwide, with varying incidence rates across different regions.

Our patent application for multiple sclerosis was filed under application number N2039644, while the application pertaining to glioma was submitted under number N2039647. Additionally, a third application, focusing on hematologic malignancies including multiple myeloma was filed under number N2039645. All three applications were officially filed on February 10, 2025.

These advancements build on promising preclinical discoveries, predictive insights, and simulations generated by Cosmos Health's AI-powered Cloudscreen drug repurposing platform. Recent in vitro studies have validated the therapeutic potential of a repurposed marketed drug for both indications, with inventors establishing a novel mechanism of action unique to each cancer type.

Research & Development

Our R&D activities are focused on novel medicines development activities that are World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) patented. Specifically, they includes preclinical assessment (including toxicology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacology studies), clinical development (including pharmacology and the design, execution and analysis of global safety and efficacy trials), as well as regulatory strategy to deliver registration of our pipeline products. We develop novel innovative medicines in our core therapeutic and disease focus areas, such as CNS cancer, prostate, ovarian and colorectal cancer, and finally obesity and weight management.

In line with our growth strategy and our focus on internal growth that leverages our R&D capabilities, we have entered, and expect to pursue, in-licensing, acquisition, collaboration, funding and other partnership opportunities to supplement and expand our existing pipeline.

Obesity & Weight Management (CCX0722)

By employing novel amino acid-based cross-linkers, a series of water-absorbent polymeric networks, known as superabsorbent hydrogels (SAHs), our obesity product, CCX0722, has emerged as promising candidates for weight management and obesity. Spatial fillers are hydrophilic biopolymer grids capable of absorbing and retaining large amounts of water or biological fluids. CCX0722 is expected to reduce food intake by increasing satiety and reducing appetite. The product is being optimized in terms of its physicochemical properties and its effects on gut microflora through a series of in vitro studies and simulations

We are currently finalizing the scale-up production phase of CCX0722, paving the way for human clinical trials and targeting a market launch in the first or second quarter of 2026. Building on the successful completion of pilot production and previous development milestones, the Company is now actively engaging with contract research organizations (CROs) to complete the technical dossier, and clinical trials are set to be completed between the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026. This strategic progress marks a critical step in positioning CCX0722 for regulatory submission and potential classification as a class III medical device.

CNS Cancer

We have acquired all rights arising from the patent filed with the WIPO under reference code PCT/EP2023/071865, related to CNS cancer treatment. The patent filing describes the repurposing of an existing drug to act on the Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1), a key target in various diseases. This innovation proposes the use of the repurposed drug in addressing certain central nervous system (CNS) cancers, hematological cancers, allergic inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. Existing preclinical data are promising for the further development of these findings.

Prostate, Ovarian and Colorectal Cancers

The Company has secured buy-out rights and exclusive licensing for two patented anticancer drugs targeting, among others, prostate, ovarian, and colorectal cancers.

Both of these innovative anticancer therapies, developed through cutting-edge oncology research, are protected by international patents and set to commence Clinical Phase I trials. The first therapy is safeguarded by WIPO patent WO 2017/001439A1 and the second by WIPO patent WO 2018/011414 A1, with a focus on major markets such as the USA, EU, Canada, Japan, China, and Australia.

The innovation on the first novel drug development task provides novel hybrid esters of steroidal lactams and alkylating agents (LSEs, steroids that contain lactam group -NHC=O- into steroid ring/s conjugated with alkylating agents). The compounds are esters of steroidal lactams with derivatives of bis(2-chloroethyl) aminophenoxypropanoic acid. These compounds exhibit: 1. higher antitumor activity, 2. lower acute toxicity in comparison with non-lactam steroid alkylating esters and conventional alkylators.

Through the important cytotoxic anticancer activity against several human cancer cell lines and tumor systems in vitro and in vivo and their well-tolerated toxicity, these new molecules seems to hold a quite unique multi-targeting profile of biological and pharmacological effects on tumor cells, fairly different of the conventional and currently used anticancer drugs.

With regard to the status of the studies, they have been conducted for the lead molecules: in silico studies, in vitro and in vivo evaluation, in 38 human cancer cell lines and in 14 human cancer xenograft models, optimized drug synthesis, acute toxicity evaluation in mice, primary pharmacokinetic (PK) study in mice.

On the other hand, novel pharmacologically active 1,2,4-triazolo-[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (TADs) were prepared and tested in vitro and in vivo for multi-targeted anticancer activity. TADs demonstrated: (1) High cytostatic and cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines, in vitro. (2) High antitumor effects against human tumor xenografts in vivo. (3) Well tolerated systemic toxicity and relatively low acute toxicities, in vivo. (3) High effectiveness against cancer cells resistant to chemotherapeutics as, platinum complexes (cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin), doxorubicin, irinotecan, paclitaxel). (4) High activity against colon and pancreatic cancer cells that bear K-RAS and/or TP53 mutations. (5) High effectiveness against hormone refractory prostate cancer. (6) High effectiveness against hormone-therapy resistant breast cancer. (7) They induce strong inhibition of phosphorylation and activity of Topoisomerase IIa. (8) They induce strong inhibition of PI3K-AKT-mTOR signal transduction cellular pathway. (9) High activity against tumors that bear KRAS, BRAF, MEK1, PIK3CA mutations. (10) Very high effectiveness against cancer tumors that present defective mismatch repair system (dMMR) with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). (11) They significantly enhance microsatellite instability in MSI-H cancer cells, as well as in MSI stable (MSS) cancer cells. (12) They trigger the expression of PDL-1 on cancer cells, inducing a dose dependent increment of 80-100% in 2-4 days after treatment. In silico computational and primary in vitro and in vivo studies confirm that TADs act as multi-targeted agents with a novel panel of pharmacological activity.

Studies have been conducted for the lead molecules: In Silico studies, in Vitro and in vivo evaluation (in 28 human cancer cell lines and in 10 human cancer xenograft models), Optimized drug synthesis, Acute toxicity evaluation in mice.

Product Insurance

We have insurance in place for our warehouses and the products in stock against any damage or theft, but we do not insure our products after the sale, since we are working under an Ex-works policy, and thus our clients are responsible for the transportation and the insurance of the products against any damage. In the future, we will continue to reevaluate our decision and may purchase product liability insurance to cover some of or all of our product liability risk.

Customers

Through our subsidiaries, we primarily sell pharmaceutical products directly to pharmacies and a limited number of large wholesale drug distributors who, in turn, supply-sell the products to other wholesalers, hospitals, pharmacies, and governmental agencies across the European Union member state. No customer accounted for 10% or more of our total consolidated revenues during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

We have a diverse customer base that includes wholesalers and retail healthcare providers. We make a significant amount of our sales to a relatively small number of pharmaceutical wholesalers. These customers represent an essential part of the distribution chain of our products. Pharmaceutical wholesalers have undergone, and are continuing to undergo, significant consolidation on a worldwide basis. This consolidation resulted in these groups gaining additional purchasing leverage and consequently increasing the product pricing pressures facing our business.

Geographic Markets

All of our revenues are generated from operations in the European Union and UK, or otherwise earned outside of the U.S. All of our foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including price and currency exchange controls, fluctuations in the relative values of currencies, political and economic instability and restrictive governmental actions. Our geographical market sales distribution of our total consolidated revenues during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

20242023
Greece97.26%94.67%
UK1.56%4.53%
Croatia0.09%0.05%

UAE0.63%0.00%
Cayman Islands0.00%0.02%
Cyprus0.34%0.34%
Total100.00%100.00%

We currently sell the products to wholesalers through our own sales force. We do not sell directly to large drug store chains or through distributors in countries where we do not have our own sales staff. As part of our sales marketing and promotion program, we use direct advertising, direct mailings, trading techniques, direct and personal contacts, exhibition of products at medical conventions and sponsor medical education symposia.

Competition

Our pharmaceutical businesses are conducted in intensely competitive and often highly regulated markets. Many of our trading of pharmaceutical products face competition in the form of branded or generic drugs that treat similar diseases or indications. The principal forms of competition include efficacy, safety, ease of use, and cost effectiveness. The means of competition vary across product categories and business groups, demonstrating that the value of our trading products is a critical factor for success in all of our principal businesses.

Our competitors include other pharmaceutical companies, and smaller companies with generic drug and consumer healthcare products. We compete with other companies that manufacture and sell products that treat diseases or indications similar to those treated by our trading pharmaceutical products.

Our competitive position in pharmaceutical sector is affected by several factors including among others, the amount and effectiveness of our and our competitors’ promotional resources, customer acceptance, product quality, our and our competitors’ introduction of new products, ingredients, claims, dosage forms, or other forms of innovation, and pricing, regulatory and legislative matters (such as product labeling, patient access and prescription).

The branded pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. Our products compete with products manufactured by many other companies in highly competitive markets throughout the EU territory and internationally as well. Competitors include many of the major brand name and generic manufacturers of pharmaceutical products. If competitors introduce new products, delivery systems or processes with therapeutic or cost advantages, our products can be subject to progressive price reductions or decreased volume of sales, or both.

In the generic pharmaceutical market, we might face intense competition from other generic drug manufacturers, brand name pharmaceutical companies, existing brand equivalents and manufacturers of therapeutically similar drugs.

By specializing in high barrier to entry products, we endeavor to market more profitable and longer-lived products relative to commodity generic products. We believe that our competitive advantages include our integrated team-based approach to product development that combines our formulation, regulatory, legal and commercial capabilities; our ability to introduce new generic equivalents for brand-name drugs; our ability to meet customer expectations; and the breadth of our existing generic product portfolio offering.

Newly introduced generic products with limited or no other generic competition typically garner higher prices. At the expiration of the exclusivity period, other generic distributors may enter the market, resulting in a significant price decline for the drug. Consequently, the maintenance of profitable operations in generic pharmaceuticals depends, in part, on our ability to select, develop and launch new generic products in a timely and cost-efficient manner and to maintain efficient, high quality business capabilities.

We compete in the nutritional industry with our own branded nutraceutical products against companies that sell through retail stores, as well as against other direct selling companies. We compete against manufacturers and retailers of nutraceutical products which are distributed through supermarkets, drug stores, health food stores, vitamin outlets and mass market retailers, among others. We believe that the principal components of competition in nutraceutical products are expertise and service, high product quality, diversification and differentiation, price and brand recognition.

Operating conditions have become more challenging under the mounting global pressures of competition, industry regulation and cost containment. We continue to take measures to evaluate, adapt and improve our organization and business practices to better meet customer and public needs. We also seek to continually enhance the organizational effectiveness of all of our functions, including efforts to accurately and ethically launch and promote our products.

Information Systems

The Company operates its full-service wholesale pharmaceutical distribution facilities in Europe on one primary enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system that provides for, among other things, electronic order entry by customers, invoice preparation and purchasing, and inventory tracking. We are currently making significant investments to enhance and upgrade our ERP system.

Additionally, we are improving our entity-wide infrastructure environment to drive efficiency, capabilities, and speed to market. We will continue to invest in advanced information systems and automated warehouse technology. For example, in an effort to comply with future pedigree and other supply chain custody requirements we have made significant investments in our secure supply chain information systems.

The Company processes a substantial portion of its purchase orders, invoices, and payments electronically. However, it continues to make substantial investments to expand its electronic interface with its suppliers. The Company has integrated warehouse operating system, which are used to manage the majority of transactional volume. The warehouse operating system has improved the distribution services productivity and operating leverage.

Government Regulations

Government authorities in the EU and in other countries extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, approval, manufacturing, labeling, post-approval monitoring and reporting, packaging, advertising and promotion, storage, distribution, marketing and export and import of pharmaceutical products. As such, our branded pharmaceutical products and the generic product candidates are subject to extensive regulation both before and after approval. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with applicable state, local and foreign statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in, among other things, warning letters, civil penalties, delays in approving or refusal to approve a pharmaceutical product.

A main part of our business relates to the trading of branded and generic pharmaceutical products and medicines within the EU member states. In order to be able to operate our business, we need to comply with EU regulations, as well as EU member states regulations that govern various operations of our business. The Greek government regulation that applies to our business requires the granting to our operating subsidiaries of the Authorization for Wholesale Distribution of Medicinal Products for human use. In order for this Authorization to be granted, the companies need to always comply with certain Good Distribution Practices (“GDP”) that mainly assure the proper storage, handling, distribution and trade of the pharmaceutical products.

On July 22, 2015, the National Medicines Agency in Greece approved the license of wholesale sale of pharmaceutical products under the name SkyPharm SA with set validity at five years and an expiration date of July 22, 2020. Subsequently, on June 15, 2020, SkyPharm legally and timely submitted the application for renewal of the wholesale license of pharmaceutical products to the National Medicines Agency.

Distribution and Equity Agreement

On March 19, 2018, the Company entered into a Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement (the “Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement”) with Marathon Global Inc. (“Marathon”), a company incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Marathon was formed to be a global supplier of Cannabis, cannabidiol (“CBD”) and/or any Cannabis Extract products, extracts, ancillaries and derivatives (collectively, the “Products”). The Company was appointed the exclusive distributor of the Products initially throughout Europe and on a non-exclusive basis wherever else lawfully permitted. The Company has no present intention to distribute any Products under this Agreement in the United States or otherwise participate in cannabis operations in the United States. The Company intends to await further clarification from the U.S. Government on cannabis regulation prior to determining whether to enter the domestic market.

The above transaction closed on May 22, 2018 after the due diligence period, following which the Company received: (a) a 33 1/3% equity interest or 5 million shares in Marathon as partial consideration for the Company’s distribution services; and (b) received cash of CAD $2,000,000, subject to repayment in common shares of the Company if it failed to meet certain performance milestones. The Company was entitled to receive an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon the Company’s receipt of gross sales of CAD $6,500,000 and an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon receipt of gross sales of CAD $13,000,000. The Company was also given the right to nominate one director to the Marathon board of directors. Since Marathon was a newly formed entity with no assets and no activity, the Company attributed no value to the 5 million shares in Marathon which was received as consideration for the distribution services.

The Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement was to remain in effect indefinitely unless Marathon fails to provide Market Competitive (as defined) product pricing and Marathon has not become profitable within five years of the agreement. On March 20, 2023, the Company sent a termination notice to Marathon, which became effective on April 19, 2023 as a result of Marathon’s failure to satisfy these conditions.
