EuroDry (EDRY) – Finishing 2025 Strong; Building Momentum into 2026

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com


Monday, February 23, 2026

EuroDry Ltd. was formed on January 8, 2018 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands to consolidate the drybulk fleet of Euroseas Ltd. into a separate listed public company. EuroDry was spun-off from Euroseas Ltd. on May 30, 2018; it trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker EDRY. EuroDry operates in the dry cargo, drybulk shipping market. EuroDry’s operations are managed by Eurobulk Ltd., an ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certified affiliated ship management company and Eurobulk (Far East) Ltd. Inc., which are responsible for the day- to-day commercial and technical management and operations of the vessels. EuroDry employs its vessels on spot and period charters and under pool agreements.

Fourth quarter and full year results. EuroDry reported fourth-quarter net revenues of $17.4 million, exceeding our estimate of $16.5 million, driven by a stronger average TCE rate of $16,262 per day versus our $15,900 estimate and lighter drydocking of 13.7 days against our 22-day assumption. Adjusted EBITDA of $7.5 million and adjusted EPS of $0.88 came in ahead of our estimates of $6.7 million and $0.78, respectively. For the full year, net revenues of $52.3 million, adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million, and an adjusted net loss of $2.50 per share all modestly surpassed our estimates of $51.4 million, $11.7 million, and a loss of $2.57.

Market update. Dry-bulk fundamentals strengthened in the fourth quarter, with average TCE rates rising to the highest levels in approximately two years. The global order book remains near historically low levels, at approximately 13.4% of the existing fleet, providing structural support. Near-term demand tailwinds include growing bauxite trade from West Africa, continued grain flows following the U.S.–China trade truce, and longer voyage distances due to Red Sea disruptions, though geopolitical uncertainty and tariff-related volatility remain risks.

Tidewater Doubles Down on Brazil With $500M Ultratug Offshore Deal

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

Tidewater Inc. (NYSE: TDW) is expanding its global offshore footprint with a $500 million all-cash acquisition of Wilson Sons Ultratug Participações S.A. and its affiliate Atlantic Offshore Services S.A. (collectively, “WSUT”). The transaction, which includes the assumption of approximately $261 million in existing debt, significantly scales Tidewater’s presence in Brazil—one of the world’s most active offshore energy markets.

The deal adds 22 platform supply vessels (PSVs) to Tidewater’s fleet. Pro forma for the acquisition, Tidewater will own 213 offshore support vessels (OSVs) and 231 total vessels globally, including crew boats, tug boats, and maintenance vessels.

The most immediate impact is geographic. Tidewater’s fleet in Brazil will expand from six vessels to 28, creating meaningful operating scale in a market widely viewed as structurally attractive due to sustained offshore development activity.

Notably, 19 of WSUT’s 22 PSVs are Brazilian-built. That distinction carries strategic weight. Brazilian-built vessels receive priority in local tenders and also provide access to Brazilian Special Registry (REB) tonnage rights. Through REB, Tidewater may import certain international-flagged vessels into Brazil while enjoying similar status to locally built ships.

In effect, the transaction provides both domestic positioning and optionality for additional fleet deployment.

WSUT brings approximately $441 million in existing backlog. According to Tidewater, many of those contracts are priced at day rates below current market levels, creating potential earnings leverage as contracts roll over.

Assuming a late second-quarter 2026 close, Tidewater expects the acquired business to generate roughly $220 million in revenue over the first twelve months, with gross margins around 58%. Annual G&A expenses are projected at approximately $14 million.

Management also characterized the deal as immediately accretive to 2026 and 2027 estimated earnings and free cash flow per share, though final outcomes will depend on closing timing, integration, and market conditions.

The acquisition will be funded with cash on hand. Tidewater intends to novate WSUT’s existing long-duration amortizing debt, provided by BNDES and Banco do Brasil, preserving what management describes as low-cost financing already embedded in the capital structure.

Following refinancing transactions in 2025 and this acquisition, Tidewater expects pro forma net leverage below 1.0x at closing, assuming a June 30, 2026 completion. A lower leverage profile could provide flexibility for future capital allocation decisions, subject to market conditions.

Brazil’s offshore sector remains one of the largest globally, with sustained activity in deepwater and pre-salt developments. Vessel supply dynamics, local content requirements, and regulatory structures create a market where scale and local tonnage matter.

For investors tracking the offshore services cycle, this transaction underscores a broader theme: operators are positioning for sustained utilization and disciplined fleet growth rather than speculative expansion. Consolidation also remains a key lever for improving operating leverage in a capital-intensive industry.

The transaction has been unanimously approved by Tidewater’s board and is expected to close late in the second quarter of 2026, pending regulatory approvals, including from Brazil’s antitrust authority (CADE).

As the offshore support vessel market continues to recalibrate following years of volatility, Tidewater’s Brazil-focused expansion signals confidence in long-term regional fundamentals—while also highlighting how capital structure discipline is shaping today’s consolidation playbook.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Tariffs, Markets Rally as Trade Policy Shifts Again

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

The US trade landscape shifted abruptly Friday after the Supreme Court struck down the centerpiece of President Trump’s second-term tariff program, ruling 6–3 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the president to impose sweeping blanket tariffs. The decision immediately halts a massive portion of the tariffs announced last year on “Liberation Day,” dealing a significant blow to the administration’s trade strategy and sending stocks higher as investors recalibrated expectations for costs, inflation, and corporate margins.

“IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion, rejecting the administration’s claim that the 1977 law granted broad authority to impose tariffs under a declared economic emergency. Roberts added that had Congress intended to grant such extraordinary tariff powers, it would have done so explicitly. The ruling upholds prior lower court decisions, including from the US Court of International Trade, that found the tariffs unlawful under that statute.

Markets responded swiftly. According to analysis from the Yale Budget Lab, the effective US tariff rate could now fall to 9.1%, down from 16.9% before the ruling. Investors interpreted the decision as reducing near-term cost pressures for companies that rely on imported goods and components. President Trump, however, quickly pushed back, calling the ruling “deeply disappointing” and criticizing members of the Court. Within hours, he announced plans to impose a 10% “global tariff” under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, a provision that allows temporary tariffs of up to 15% for 150 days to address trade deficits. That authority has never previously been used to implement tariffs of this scale, and the administration signaled additional trade investigations under Section 301 may follow.

Notably, tariffs enacted under other legal authorities remain in place. Section 232 national security tariffs on steel, aluminum, semiconductors, and automobiles are unaffected, meaning a range of sector-specific import duties will continue. This layered approach underscores that while the Court invalidated one mechanism, trade tensions and tariff policy remain firmly in play.

An unresolved issue now looms over potential refunds. More than $100 billion — and possibly as much as $175 billion — in tariff revenue has been collected under IEEPA. The Court did not directly address refund eligibility, opening the door to further litigation and administrative action. Business groups, including the US Chamber of Commerce, are calling for swift refunds, arguing that repayment would meaningfully support small businesses and importers. Others caution that returning such sums could carry serious fiscal implications.

For small- and micro-cap investors, the ruling introduces both relief and renewed uncertainty. Smaller companies often operate with thinner margins and less pricing power than large multinational peers, making them particularly sensitive to import costs. A lower effective tariff rate could ease pressure on retailers, specialty manufacturers, and niche industrial firms that rely heavily on overseas inputs. At the same time, policy volatility remains elevated as the administration pivots to alternative tariff authorities, suggesting the trade environment may remain fluid.

The broader macro implications are equally significant. Reduced tariff pressure could temper inflation expectations, potentially influencing Federal Reserve policy — a key driver for small-cap performance given their sensitivity to financing conditions and domestic economic momentum.

Friday’s decision marks a major legal setback for the administration’s trade framework, but it does not signal an end to tariff-driven policy shifts. For small-cap investors, the near-term narrative may improve on cost relief, yet the longer-term trade outlook remains unsettled as Washington prepares its next move.

GDP Stumbles to 1.4% as Shutdown Slams Q4 Growth

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

The US economy ended 2025 on a weaker-than-expected note.

New data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis showed GDP grew at an annualized rate of just 1.4% in the fourth quarter, well below economist expectations for 2.9% growth. The miss marks a notable slowdown from earlier in the year and caps full-year 2025 growth at 2.2%, down from 2.8% in 2024.

A key culprit: government spending.

Federal outlays fell sharply during the quarter, reflecting the impact of the 43-day government shutdown that spanned October and November. Overall government spending declined at a 5.1% annualized rate, subtracting 0.9 percentage points from headline GDP. Federal spending alone plunged 16.6%, shaving 1.15 percentage points off growth.

President Trump, posting on Truth Social ahead of the release, argued the shutdown cost the economy “at least two points in GDP” and renewed calls for lower interest rates.

Under the Surface: Not All Weakness

Despite the headline disappointment, underlying private-sector demand remained more resilient.

Real final sales to private domestic purchasers — a key gauge of core demand — rose 2.4%, only slightly below the prior quarter’s 2.9% pace. Private fixed investment increased 2.6%, supported by continued spending on intellectual property and information processing equipment.

The AI build-out remains a meaningful contributor to growth. Spending on information processing equipment added 0.65 percentage points to GDP in the quarter, while investment in intellectual property products rose at a 7.4% pace.

However, consumer behavior showed signs of divergence. Services spending grew 3.4%, while goods spending fell 0.1%, underscoring a continued rotation away from physical goods.

What This Means for Small-Cap Stocks

For small- and micro-cap investors, the implications are layered.

First, government spending volatility tends to disproportionately impact smaller companies with federal exposure. Contractors, niche defense suppliers, and specialized service providers may have felt the brunt of delayed payments or paused contracts during the shutdown.

Second, slower headline GDP growth can pressure investor sentiment toward riskier asset classes — and small caps often sit at the front of that risk spectrum. The Russell 2000 historically reacts more sharply to growth scares than large-cap indices.

But there’s another side.

If economists are correct that shutdown-related drag reverses in the first quarter — with some forecasts calling for 3% growth in early 2026 — small caps could benefit from a rebound narrative. Lower rates, which the administration continues to push for, would also ease capital constraints for smaller companies that rely more heavily on credit markets.

And the ongoing AI investment cycle may continue to support smaller industrial, semiconductor-adjacent, and specialty tech names tied to infrastructure build-outs.

Bottom Line

The Q4 GDP miss highlights how policy disruptions can ripple through the broader economy. While headline growth slowed, core private demand and investment remain intact.

For small-cap investors, volatility may persist in the near term — but a rebound in government activity and continued capital investment could shift the narrative quickly in early 2026.

Softer than expected Q4 Results. The company reported Q4 revenue of $22.5 million, an increase of 9%, and adj. EBITDA of $1.0 million, both of which were below our estimates of $23.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively.  Importantly, the modestly softer than expected results were largely driven by weakness in advertising and commerce revenue. Increased marketing spend and elevated G&A expenses due to a non-recurring corporate event adversely affected EBITDA.

Customer acquisition efficiency. Customer acquisition costs averaged $34 per member in Q4, compared to $28 in Q1, $38 in Q2, and $40 in Q3, reflecting continued investment in subscriber growth. Management highlighted rapid payback economics, with annual membership fees collected upfront and supplemented by transaction revenue. Acquisition costs are expensed immediately, impacting near-term profitability, though the strategy is intended to expand recurring revenue and strengthen the advertising platform over time.

Cardinal Infrastructure Expands into Georgia with A.L. Grading Acquisition, Accelerating Southeast Growth Strategy

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

Cardinal Infrastructure Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNL) announced the acquisition of A.L. Grading Contractors, a Sugar Hill, Georgia-based grading and site development services provider, marking a significant step in the company’s expansion beyond its North Carolina roots and reinforcing its acquisition-led growth strategy.

The transaction adds a well-established regional contractor with approximately $160 million in annual sales to Cardinal’s platform. For a recently public small-cap company, the deal meaningfully increases geographic reach while strengthening service capabilities in grading, utilities, and residential site preparation across one of the fastest-growing regions in the Southeast.

Cardinal went public in late 2025 with a stated objective of building a scaled civil infrastructure operator through a combination of organic growth and targeted acquisitions. The addition of A.L. Grading aligns squarely with that strategy. Georgia’s population growth, housing demand, and ongoing development activity provide a sizable runway for infrastructure and site development work, giving Cardinal exposure to a broader pipeline of public and private projects.

The company also provided preliminary 2025 operating results alongside the acquisition announcement, signaling strong underlying momentum. Cardinal expects full-year revenue in the range of approximately $452 million to $460 million, representing roughly 45% year-over-year growth. Backlog expanded more than 30%, providing improved revenue visibility entering 2026. Those metrics suggest the company is not relying solely on M&A to drive growth but is also benefiting from strong project execution and demand fundamentals.

For small-cap investors, the combination of accelerating organic performance and disciplined bolt-on acquisitions can be particularly compelling. Infrastructure services is a fragmented sector, especially at the regional level. Operators with access to public capital and a scalable platform often have the opportunity to consolidate smaller private contractors, extract operating efficiencies, and improve bidding capacity on larger, multi-state contracts.

The acquisition also enhances Cardinal’s competitive positioning. With a larger footprint and expanded capabilities, the company can pursue more complex projects and serve developers operating across state lines. Geographic diversification may also help smooth revenue volatility tied to local permitting cycles or municipal spending patterns.

Importantly, this move comes at a time when capital markets remain selective for small-cap issuers. Companies demonstrating tangible growth, backlog expansion, and integration discipline are more likely to attract investor support. Cardinal’s ability to announce both a meaningful acquisition and strong forward outlook in the same update positions it as an emerging consolidator in the Southeast civil construction space.

While integration risk is always present in acquisition-driven strategies, the industrial services model often lends itself to scalable roll-ups when executed carefully. For Cardinal, expanding into Georgia represents more than a one-off transaction—it signals intent to build a broader regional infrastructure platform.

As infrastructure investment and residential development remain key economic drivers in the Southeast, Cardinal’s latest acquisition underscores how small-cap industrial companies can leverage public market access to accelerate growth and expand market share in fragmented sectors

On February 12, 2026, the Board approved a one-for-seven (1:7) Reverse Split ratio. The Company has filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Split at the Effective Time.

For purposes of this press release: “Voting Stock” means, collectively, shares of our (i) Class A Common Stock, (ii) Class B Common Stock, (iii) Class M Common Stock, (iv) Class O Common Stock, and (v) Class V Common Stock, in each case with a par value $0.0001 per share; and “Common Stock” means, collectively, the Voting Stock and shares of our (i) Class E-1 Common Stock, (ii) Class E-2 Common Stock, and (iii) Class E-3 Common Stock, in each case with a par value $0.0001 per share.

Following the Reverse Split, the par value of each applicable series of Common Stock will remain unchanged. The Charter Amendment will not change the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or preferred stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Split will instead receive a cash payment, without interest or deduction, equal to (a) the fraction of one share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by (b) the volume weighted average price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source selected by the Company) for the period of the five consecutive trading days ending on and including the full trading day prior to the Effective Time (before giving effect to the Reverse Split). The Reverse Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity (other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares).

As of the Effective Time, and in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, we will also decrease the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of, and increase the exercise price of, each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock. Specifically, as of the Effective Time, every seven shares of Class A Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to the exercise of warrants will represent one share of Class A Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to such warrants. The exercise price per share for each warrant following the Reverse Split will equal $80.50, which is equal to $11.50, the exercise price per share immediately prior to the Reverse Split, multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to the Reverse Split, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

Additionally, outstanding equity-based awards granted pursuant to the Company’s 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under thereunder and other outstanding securities convertible or exchange into Common Stock will be proportionately adjusted in accordance with the terms thereof or as otherwise specified by the Board.

Shortly following the Effective Time, stockholders of record will be receiving information from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, the Company’s transfer agent, regarding their stock ownership following the Reverse Split. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” are not required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Split.

Additional information on the Reverse Split can be found in the Company’s definitive information statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2026, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website.

Travelzoo 

Feb 19, 2026, 08:17 ET

NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Travelzoo® (NASDAQ: TZOO):

  • Revenue of $22.5 million, up 9% year-over-year
  • Consolidated operating profit of $0.6 million
  • Non-GAAP consolidated operating profit of $0.9 million
  • Cash flow from operations of $1.5 million
  • Earnings per share (EPS) of $0.00

Travelzoo, the club for travel enthusiasts, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025. Consolidated revenue was $22.5 million, up 9% from $20.7 million year-over-year. In constant currencies, revenue was $22.1 million, up 7% year-over-year. Travelzoo’s reported revenue consists of advertising revenues and commissions, derived from and generated in connection with purchases made by Travelzoo members, and membership fees.

In Q4, we continued to invest significantly in acquiring more Club Members when we saw that we can achieve a positive return on investment (ROI). Marketing costs were expensed immediately. Membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period of 12 months. The effect is a sizable reduction in EPS. We refer to our investor presentation.

Net loss attributable to Travelzoo was $19,000 for Q4 2025, or $0.00 per share, compared with $0.26 per share in the prior-year period.

Non-GAAP operating profit was $0.9 million. Non-GAAP operating profit excludes amortization of intangibles ($2,000) and stock option expenses ($339,000). Please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tabular reconciliation below.

“We will continue to leverage Travelzoo’s global reach, trusted brand, and strong relationships with top travel suppliers to negotiate more Club Offers for Club Members and add new benefits, such as our popular complimentary airport lounge access worldwide in case of a delayed flight,” said Holger Bartel, Travelzoo’s Global CEO. “Travelzoo members are affluent, active, and open to new experiences. We inspire travel enthusiasts to travel to places they never imagined they could. Travelzoo is the must-have membership for those who love to travel as much as we do.”

Travelzoo North America
North America business segment revenue increased 6% year-over-year to $14.8 million. Operating profit for Q4 2025 was $1.5 million, or 10% of revenue, compared to operating profit of $4.6 million or 33% of revenue in the prior-year period.

Travelzoo Europe
Europe business segment revenue increased 16% year-over-year to $6.3 million. Operating loss for Q4 2025 was $1 million, or 16% of revenue, compared to operating profit of $159,000, or 3% of revenue in the prior-year period. The reported operating loss occurred because we acquired more Club Members.

Jack’s Flight Club
Jack’s Flight Club is a membership subscription service in which Travelzoo has a 60% ownership interest. Revenue increased 2% year-over-year to $1.3 million. The number of premium subscribers remained flat year-over-year. Jack’s Flight Club’s revenue from subscriptions is recognized ratably over the subscription period (quarterly, semi-annually, annually). Operating profit for Q4 2025 was $153,000, compared to operating profit of $150,000 in the prior-year period.

New Initiatives
New Initiatives business segment revenue, which includes Licensing and Travelzoo META, was $16,000. Operating loss for Q4 2025 was $34,000.

In 2020, Travelzoo entered into royalty-bearing licensing agreements with local licensees for the exclusive use of Travelzoo’s brand, business model, and members in  Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore. Under these arrangements, Travelzoo’s existing members in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore will continue to be owned by Travelzoo as the licensor. Licensing revenue from the licensee in Australia was $8,000 for Q4 2025. Licensing revenue from the licensee in Japan was $7,000 for Q4 2025. Licensing revenue is expected to increase going forward.

Reach
Travelzoo reaches 30 million travelers. This includes Jack’s Flight Club. Comparisons to prior periods are no longer meaningful due to strategic developments of the Travelzoo membership.

Income Taxes
The reported income tax provision and reserves for Q4 2025 are $521,000. Travelzoo intends to utilize available net operating losses (NOLs) to largely offset its tax liability for Q4 2025.

Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $10.8 million. Cash flow from operations was $1.5 million.

Deferred revenue increased because membership fees are earned over the subscription period. Membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period.

Share Repurchase Program
During Q4 2025, the Company didn’t repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock.

Looking Ahead
For Q1 2026, we expect year-over-year revenue growth to continue. We expect continued revenue growth in subsequent quarters, as membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period of 12 months, as we acquire new members, and as more Legacy Members become Club Members. Over time, we expect profitability to increase as recurring membership fees revenue will be recognized. In the short-term, fluctuations in reported net income are possible. We might see attractive opportunities to increase marketing. We expense marketing costs immediately.

In 2024, we introduced a membership fee for Travelzoo. Legacy Members, who joined prior to 2024, continue to receive certain travel offers. However, Club Offers and new benefits are only available to Club Members, who pay the membership fee. Therefore, we are seeing many Legacy Members become Club Members over time—in addition to new members who join.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management calculates non-GAAP operating income when evaluating the financial performance of the business. Calculation of non-GAAP operating income, also called “non-GAAP operating profit” in this press release and today’s earnings conference call, excludes the following items: amortization of intangibles, stock option expenses, and severance-related expenses. This press release includes a table which reconciles GAAP operating income to the calculation of non-GAAP operating income. Non-GAAP operating income is not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Conference Call
Travelzoo will host a conference call to discuss fourth quarter 2025 results today at 11:00 a.m. ET. Please visit http://ir.travelzoo.com/events-presentations to

  • download the management presentation (PDF format) to be discussed in the conference call

  • CDI‑988 is the first oral antiviral drug candidate being developed for prevention and treatment of norovirus infections
  • Company to present Phase 1 data and updates from ongoing Phase 1b study conducted at Emory University School of Medicine
  • No approved antiviral therapies or vaccines for norovirus infections demonstrate an immediate market need

BOTHELL, Wash., Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: COCP) (“Cocrystal” or the “Company”) announces that initial progress of a norovirus challenge study with its direct-acting, oral protease inhibitor CDI-988 will be presented at the 39th International Conference on Antiviral Research (ICAR2026), being held April 27–May 1 in Prague, Czech Republic. CDI-988 is the first oral antiviral drug candidate under development for the prevention and treatment of acute norovirus gastroenteritis.

Sam Lee, Ph.D., Cocrystal President and co-CEO, will discuss the ongoing Phase 1b challenge study evaluating CDI-988 as both a potential prophylactic and therapeutic option for norovirus infection. CDI-988 was designed and developed using the Company’s proprietary structure-based drug discovery platform technology as a pan-viral protease inhibitor, targeting 3CL viral proteases. Based on its novel mechanism of action and superior broad-spectrum antiviral activity, CDI-988 represents a potential oral treatment for both noroviruses and coronaviruses.

“ICAR is widely regarded as the premier international conference for antiviral research, and it is a privilege to be selected to present our work to this antiviral research community,” said Dr. Lee. “We are excited to further advance CDI-988 into a Phase 1b norovirus challenge study at Emory University School of Medicine. CDI‑988 is our first pan-viral protease inhibitor developed for the treatment of acute norovirus gastroenteritis and also represents a significant step toward a potential treatment for patients suffering from chronic norovirus infection.”

About ICAR2026

The International Society for Antiviral Research (ISAR) is an internationally recognized organization of scientists working across the basic, applied, translational and clinical aspects of antiviral research. The annual International Conference on Antiviral Research (ICAR), the Society’s main event, brings together virologists, chemists, clinicians, pharmacologists, biologists and regulatory representatives focused on antiviral agents and therapies. Topics include novel and broad‑spectrum antivirals, host‑targeted approaches, vaccines, pandemic preparedness and emerging or re‑emerging viral threats, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration among academia, industry, government and non‑profit organizations.

About Norovirus

Norovirus is a common and highly contagious virus that afflicts people of all ages and causes symptoms of acute gastroenteritis including nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea, as well as fatigue, fever and dehydration. This infection spreads rapidly in semi-closed and crowded settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, cruise ships, schools, disaster-relief shelters and military facilities, where close contact makes outbreaks especially difficult to control. Norovirus causes an estimated 200,000 deaths worldwide each year at a societal cost of approximately $60 billion. In the U.S., norovirus is responsible for about 21 million cases of acute gastroenteritis annually, including 109,000 hospitalizations, 465,000 emergency department visits and nearly 900 deaths, with an estimated annual economic burden of $10.6 billion.

About Cocrystal Pharma, Inc.

Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing novel antiviral therapeutics that target the replication process of influenza viruses, coronaviruses (including SARS-CoV-2), noroviruses and hepatitis C viruses. Cocrystal employs unique structure-based technologies to create viable antiviral drugs. For further information about Cocrystal, please visit www.cocrystalpharma.com.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events. Some or all of the events anticipated by these forward-looking statements may not occur. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties arising from inflation, affordability, the possibility of a recession, the impact of future interest rate changes on the economy, tariffs and the resulting litigation, and geopolitical conflicts including those in Ukraine, Latin America and Middle East on our Company, our collaboration partners, and on the U.S. and global economies, including manufacturing and research delays arising from raw materials and labor shortages, supply chain disruptions and other business interruptions including any adverse impacts on our ability to obtain raw materials for and otherwise proceed with the planned norovirus study or subsequent studies as well as similar problems with our vendors and our current and any future clinical research organizations (CROs) and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs), the progress and results of the studies including any adverse findings or delays, the ability of us and our CROs to recruit volunteers for, and to otherwise proceed with, clinical studies, our and our collaboration partners’ technology and software performing as expected, financial difficulties experienced by certain partners, the results of any current and future preclinical and clinical studies, general risks arising from clinical studies, receipt of regulatory approvals, regulatory changes and any adverse developments which may arise therefrom, potential mutations in a virus we are targeting that may result in variants that are resistant to a product candidate we develop, the potential for the development of effective treatments by competitors which could reduce or eliminate a prospective future market share commercializing any product candidates we may develop in the future, and our ability to meet our future liquidity needs. Further information on our risk factors is contained in our filings with the SEC, including the “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the Prospectus dated September 25, 2025.
