LIVE LONGER – LIVE BETTER – LIVE YOUNGER
Newly Secured Inventory Funding and Global Expansion Position the Company for Scalable Growth Amid Accelerating Demand
NAPLES, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2026 / Stemtech Corporation (OTCID:STEK), a The Pioneer and global leader in stem cell nutrition and plant-based wellness solutions, today issued a joint letter to shareholders from Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Charles S. Arnold and President and Chief Operating Officer John W. Meyer, outlining the Company’s strategic progress in 2025 and the initiatives positioning the Company for growth in 2026 and beyond.
To Our Shareholders:
2025 was a year of discipline, realignment and strategic execution for Stemtech Corporation.
We operated in a dynamic global environment marked by evolving supply chains, tariff uncertainty, shifting input costs and rising demand for our high-quality, all-natural, plant-based wellness products. Against this backdrop, we remained focused on strengthening our foundation, supporting our global network of Independent Business Partners (IBPs) and positioning the Company to scale.
Today, Stemtech is emerging with a focused operating structure, an expanding global footprint and a renewed ability to meet growing demand across our markets.
Most importantly, we are experiencing increased alignment between several powerful forces:
-
Rising global awareness of stem cell physiology and its health benefits
-
Expanding demand for all-natural, science-based regenerative wellness solutions
-
A highly engaged, entrepreneurial distributor network
-
Growing acceptance of stem cell nutrition among medical community experts
-
An aging population is increasingly focused on personal health and longevity
Global Sales and Marketing Expansion – Stemtech manages operations across three core geographic segments: North America, Latin America, with new focus on Asia including China (Peoples Republic of China), India, Taiwan (ROC) the Philippines and Indonesia. The Company is broadening its reach through Joint Venture (JV) partnerships in these regions. Under these arrangements, JV partners fund the manufacturing, sales and marketing, logistics and fulfillment functions, while Stemtech contributes the product formulations and intellectual property for its stemceutical™ anti-aging and longevity products. The JVs are expected to consolidate under the Stemtech Corporation reporting structure, extending the Company’s global footprint with limited capital outlay.
We believe this convergence creates a compelling, long-term growth opportunity for Stemtech.
Addressing Supply and Unlocking Growth
During 2025, the Company experienced intermittent constraints in product availability tied to global sourcing dynamics, tariff-related cost pressures, and the prioritization of working capital around the unique, internationally sourced raw materials required for production.
These factors temporarily limited our ability to fully meet the demand for many of our key products within our RCM (Release, Circulate, Migrate) nutritional health system.
Underlying consumer demand for Stemtech’s products remained strong throughout the period, supported by a global stem cell market projected to reach $43.8 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of 21.3% (Research and Markets, May 8, 2026). The Company’s 2025 revenue decline was attributable to a single, identifiable and now-resolved cause: a temporary inventory funding shortage that constrained the Company’s ability to fulfill distributor orders, leading to deferred sales and some distributor attrition.
In response, management acted decisively to realign the cost structure, reducing total operating expenses by $2.3 million, or 37.7%, in FY 2025. This proactive cost discipline preserved cash and reflected management’s view of the revenue decline as a temporary disruption rather than a structural change to the business model. The inventory funding shortage stemmed from external constraints on the Company’s working capital facilities during 2025-related to credit facility considerations and the timing of financing arrangements-and did not reflect any deterioration in underlying demand. In short, the 2025 decline was supply-driven, not demand-driven: distributors continued to want Stemtech products, but the Company was temporarily unable to supply them. With dedicated inventory funding now secured, that constraint has been addressed.
John W. Meyer, President and Chief Operating Officer of Stemtech, stated, “The sporadic unavailability of our core stem cell nutrition ingredients created challenges for our Independent Business Partners (IBPs)and customers. Despite this, the strength and commitment of our distributor network remained evident, and demand for our products has continued to grow.”
Stemtech moved quickly to strengthen its supply chain and capital position.
Most notably, the Company recently secured dedicated inventory funding, enabling:
-
Improved production planning
-
More consistent product availability
-
Enhanced ability to fulfill distributor and customer demand to their satisfaction.
This initiative represents a critical inflection point, positioning Stemtech to convert growing demand into revenue while supporting the continued expansion of its global network of Independent Business Partners (IBPs).
Recent Strategic and Operational Milestones
1) Financial Performance – For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reduced total operating expenses by $2.3 million, or 37.7%, reflecting disciplined cost management. Stemtech reported a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.03 per share. Full financial results were detailed in the Company’s Form 10-K filing.
-Stemtech manages operations across three core geographic segments: North America, Latin America, and the emerging markets of Asia and India. During 2025, the Company significantly expanded agreements for its global reach, including:
-

-
Entry into India, a market of approximately 1.4 billion people, with planned local manufacturing
-

These initiatives broaden Stemtech’s access to high-growth international wellness markets and strengthen its long-term global positioning.
2) Appointment of Srilakshmi Vadlapatla as Chief Financial Officer, strengthening the Company’s financial leadership and reporting capabilities

Arnold. “The work we have done positions Stemtech to better serve our distributors, meet growing demand and capitalize on the long-term opportunity in global wellness. The most meaningful validation comes from the consumers who use our products and the positive response we continue to receive from them.”
