Exhibit 99.1
CleanCore Solutions, Inc. (ZONE) Reports Second Quarter FY 2025 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
Omaha, NE, February 14, 2025 - CleanCore Solutions, Inc. (NYSE American: ZONE) (“CleanCore” or the “Company”), developer of patented technology that works as a safe and low-cost replacement for traditional cleaning chemicals, today reported its second quarter 2025 financial results and provided a business update.
Business Highlights:
| ● | Rapid adoption of CleanCore’s technology with building service contractors for its cost savings and sustainability benefits. |
| ● | Commenced a worldwide rollout with one of the world’s leading enterprise software companies. |
| ● | Expanded international partnerships with Fortune 500 clients, securing market presence in a high-growth regions. |
| ● | Product reengineering initiatives underway to lower cost of goods sold, ensuring long-term financial efficiency. |
“We are experiencing strong market adoption, as evidenced by recent contracts in the education and aviation sectors, where organizations are seeking cost-effective, time-saving alternatives to traditional chemical cleaning products,” said Clayton Adams, CEO of CleanCore Solutions. “Over the past few months, we have transitioned to a direct sales recurring revenue model, expanded our customer pilot programs, and increased market traction. While this shift resulted in higher sales costs as pilots increased—leading to a temporary revenue dip and expense increase this quarter—revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2024, grew by 6.5%. This reflects the short-term impact of our new approach, that will give us sustainable and predictable revenue growth in the coming quarters”
“Additionally, we are gaining traction with major organizations, including an international hotel chain piloting our solutions, integration within leading US-based fitness centers, Montessori schools across Minnesota integrating our technology, and a major New York airport deploying our solutions. These partnerships highlight our ability to serve diverse industries with effective, sustainable cleaning solutions. As a growing number of organizations seek safer and more efficient alternatives, we expect this momentum to continue.”
“In fact, we anticipate a significant increase in market demand following the EPA’s recent ban on two carcinogenic chemicals commonly used in consumer and industrial products. Companies that rely on these substances must now transition to safer, chemical-free alternatives to maintain compliance. Because our products meet these standards and align with EPA regulations, we are well-positioned to help businesses navigate this transition seamlessly. As the regulatory landscape evolves and demand for sustainable solutions grows, we are confident in our ability to capture new opportunities, expand our market presence, and drive long-term value for our shareholders.”
Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was approximately $257,000 compared to approximately $258,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $911,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to approximately $320,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
