Management Commentary
Greg Alexander, CEO of Syra Health, said, “Q1 2026 represents a major milestone for Syra Health as we achieved our first profitable quarter, reflecting the growing strength of our business. This performance was driven by year-over-year revenue growth, significant gross margin expansion, and positive net income and earnings per share. Our population health solutions continue to be a powerful growth engine for us, validating our prevention-focused mission. Ongoing contract renewals and expansions with existing customers further reinforce the value of our offerings, providing strong revenue visibility and signaling long-term customer confidence, an important indicator of stability and sustainable growth for investors. While quarterly results may vary due to contract timing and milestone recognition, we remain confident in our profitability trajectory by year-end, as the fundamentals driving our business— expanding partnerships, growing demand for accessible, affordable, and prevention-focused healthcare solutions, and disciplined execution— remain firmly intact.”
Q1 2026 Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $2.3 million, an increase of 22% compared to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. Strong growth was driven by the Company’s high-margin population health solutions, which grew 46% year-over-year to $1.8 million from $1.2 million. Healthcare workforce solutions decreased, as expected, to approximately $513,000 from $655,000 in the prior period, as the Company strategically prioritizes higher-margin solutions. We expanded our gross profit margin by 11 percentage points to 42.7% compared with 31.7% in the prior year period, due to a revenue mix shift toward higher-margin solutions and improved operating leverage in Population Health.
Operating expenses declined across all major categories, reflecting disciplined cost management and improved operational efficiency. Salaries and benefits decreased 27% from $507,207 in Q1 2025 to $372,109 in Q1 2026. Professional services fell 16% to $187,141 in Q1 2026 from $224,026 in the prior year period. SG&A was reduced by 26% to $213,047 in Q1 2026 when compared to $287,287 in Q1 2025. Research and development expenses declined significantly by 81% to $6,921 for the first quarter of 2026 from $37,173 in the first quarter of 2025. Depreciation declined 85% to $1,054 from $6,797 in the year-ago period.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 was $244,495, a material improvement when compared to ($462,239) in the prior year.
