Exhibit99.1

EarthScience Tech, Inc. (ETST) Reports Third Fiscal Quarter 2026 Results

●	Revenue<br> of $8.4 million, up 14.1% year-over-year
●	Gross<br> profit margin of 76.3%, up 71 bps year-over-year
●	Net<br> income of $910,000, up 341% year-over-year
●	Generated<br> positive cash from operations of $1.2 million fiscal year-to-date
●	Peaks,<br> the company’s telemedicine platform, surpasses $2.0 million in revenue in less than<br> a year, scaling from $248,000 into a high-margin growth platform
●	Reduced<br> outstanding shares of common stock by 3.6% year over year through share repurchases
●	Geographic<br> expansion underway with up to 10 additional state licenses pending
●	Strong<br> calendar 2026 performance signals positive trajectory for fiscal Q4

“We exited the third fiscal quarter with strong strategic momentum and continued progress across our diversified platform,” said Giorgio R. Saumat, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Earth Science Tech, Inc. “Results were largely consistent with the prior quarter and reflected typical seasonality, including holiday timing and temporary macro and supply-related headwinds. Importantly, multiple operating units are now generating positive cash flow, underscoring the strength and resilience of our portfolio approach.”

Mr. Saumat continued, “While our reported results reflect the current stage of our growth and investment cycle, they do not yet fully capture the operating leverage inherent in the model. Moving ahead, we see a clear and verifiable path to a materially higher earnings baseline through expense rationalization and scale, a view reinforced by our ongoing share repurchases and my long-term ownership position acquired entirely with cash. With calendar 2026 off to a strong start and several geographic and product expansion initiatives underway, we believe the Company is well positioned for accelerating growth in the periods ahead.”

ThirdFiscal Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was $8.4 million, an increase of 14%, as compared to $7.4 million during the third quarter of last year primarily due to an increase in product sales.

GrossProfit/Margin

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $6.4 million, or a 76.3% gross margin, compared to gross profit of $5.1 million, or a 69.2% gross margin, for the same period in 2024. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to higher product sales, with incremental volume contributing to improved operating leverage and margin expansion.

OperatingExpenses

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, operating expenses were $5.1 million as compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in operating expenses was primarily the result of an increase in advertising and marketing and office/selling, general and administrative expenses, which were partially offset by a decrease in salaries expense.

NetIncome

Net income was $910,000, or $0.003 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $206,000, or $0.001 for the same period in 2024.

BalanceSheet

The decrease in cash on hand is primarily due to investments in inventory to support higher sales volumes and improve product availability, as well as increased operating activity during the period. The Company had no bank debt as of December 31, 2025.

The Company repurchased and retired 1,143,000 and 3,703,296 shares of its common stock for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively.

Non-GAAPMeasures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), this document references certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings excluding interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance and enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary, independent of business performance.

Please refer to “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” in this document for a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

EarthScience Tech, Inc. Announces Initiatives to Advance Public Company Strategy; Expects Approximately $1.4 Million in Annualized Savingsand Fiscal 2026 Net Income Growth of More Than 40%, from $3.3 Million to $4.7 Million

Outlinesstrategic portfolio actions, governance enhancements and capital discipline plans to support next phase of growth

MIAMI,Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTC: ETST) (“ETST” or the “Company”), a strategic holding company focused on acquiring and scaling high-potential operating businesses, today announced that its Board of Directors and management team are pursuing a series of strategic initiatives designed to position the Company as a fully institutional-ready public company, enhance transparency and governance and align leadership incentives more closely with long-term shareholder value creation.

The initiatives follow the Company’s recent operational and regulatory milestones and reflect the next phase in Earth Science Tech’s multi-year growth strategy.

These actions build on the Company’s delivery of approximately $3.3 million in net income in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 and an anticipated $1.4 million in cost savings initiatives in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, which management believes would support approximately $4.7 million in net income on a go-forward basis, before considering any incremental upside from organic growth.

AFocused Shift Toward a Shareholder-Centric Public Company Model

“Over the past three years, Earth Science Tech has transformed from a business facing legacy financial and structural challenges into a more streamlined operating platform with accelerating revenue momentum,” said Giorgio R. Saumat, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Earth Science Tech, Inc. “The Company has now reached a meaningful inflection point, and as we enter our next phase of growth, the Board and management believe this is the right time to advance toward a fully shareholder-driven public company structure, with stronger governance, clearer accountability, and a capital allocation strategy focused on long-term shareholder value.”

Key elements of the transformation plan include:

●	Optimize the portfolio – The Company is targeting the divestiture of non-core assets to<br> optimize capital allocation. Simultaneously, the consolidation of operating subsidiaries<br> under unified brands is being implemented to unlock operational synergies and drive material<br> improvements in operating margins.
●	Enhance corporate governance and transparency – The Company is expanding shareholder engagement<br> and plans to introduce a non-binding “say-on-pay” advisory vote at an upcoming<br> shareholder meeting following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K<br> in June 2026. While this advisory vote will provide shareholders with the opportunity to<br> express their views on executive compensation, the Board of Directors will retain final decision-making<br> authority.
●	Optimize Capital Structure – The Company is evaluating measures to rationalize its capital<br> structure and further align management incentives with shareholder value. Consistent with<br> its commitment to transparency, the Company plans to hold an advisory shareholder vote on<br> the retirement of the Series B Preferred Stock. Mr. Saumat has voluntarily agreed to abstain<br> from voting on this proposal to ensure the integrity of the process.
---	---
●	Reform Executive Compensation with Immediate Cost Reduction – To drive immediate cost<br> reductions and enforce strict alignment with shareholders, the CEO and COO have voluntarily<br> voided their employment contracts and waived key compensation components. Both executives<br> will operate on an at-will basis, deferring the negotiation of new contracts until the conclusion<br> of the July 2026 annual proxy to prioritize governance and shareholder feedback.
●	Adjust Board Compensation – To demonstrate immediate fiscal responsibility, the Board<br> of Directors has voted to reduce its compensation. To prioritize governance, the Board has<br> also agreed to postpone the negotiation of new contracts until after the July 2026 annual<br> proxy, allowing for the integration of shareholder feedback into future agreements.

Jeff P. H. Cazeau, Independent Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee stated, “This restructuring represents a significant maturation in Earth Science Tech’s corporate governance. By voluntarily anchoring executive pay to shareholder approval and reducing near-term fixed costs, management is sending a clear signal that they are stewards of capital first and foremost. The Board fully supports this transition toward a more transparent, performance-driven compensation model.”

Saumat continued, “The timing of these transformational actions is supported by improving financial performance and increasing operating leverage across the business. We believe the underlying momentum will become increasingly evident in our financial results over time as these changes take hold and are supported by continued disciplined cost management, accelerating revenue and stronger cash generation.”
