**NUO THERAPEUTICS ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PROVIDES BUSINESS UPDATE**

***Aurix Product Exhibiting Strong Market Growth***

**Houston, TX** – **May 14, 2026** – Nuo Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQB: AURX) ("Nuo"), a commercial-stage medical device company focused on developing and marketing regenerative therapies for chronic wound care, announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 and provided an operational and business update.

**First Quarter 2026 Financial Summary**

● Total revenues of approximately $1.3 million (including approximately $1,224,000 of product revenues) increased 169% over the 2025 first quarter and 20% over last year's fourth quarter

● Aurix branded product revenues were up over 30% sequentially versus 2025 fourth quarter

● Net operating loss of approximately $446,000 compared to 2025's first quarter net operating loss of approximately $745,000

**Operational and Business Update**

● Witnessing robust demand for the Aurix product in private physician office settings

● Market responding favorably to continued improvement in Medicare related reimbursement for Aurix and a vastly changed overall reimbursement landscape

● Entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with initial fundings of $1.0 million designed to provide working capital as the company invests in growth and moves closer to breakeven operations

"Just over one year ago, Nuo issued our most recent press release and announced the exclusive private label distribution agreement with Smith+Nephew. It would be an understatement to describe the past 12 months and most particularly the first several months of 2026 in the advanced wound care market as anything other than dramatic," commented David Jorden, Nuo's Chief Executive and Financial Officer. "Fortunately, we have in Aurix, and Smith+Nephew has in its private label branded offering, a product which we believe is right for the time and the space. With the January 1<sup>st</sup> change in reimbursement for skin substitutes, interest in autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) was immediate and vigorous. The disruption within the wound care market is substantial and has created significant uncertainty for many stakeholders including, of course, the provider community. While we have substantial confidence in the benefits available to patients seeking treatment options for non-healing chronic wounds and the wider system from effective PRP products, the disruption does not come without challenges to Nuo as we also navigate the overall market uncertainty."

------

"However, we believe we are very attractively positioned for long term success with potential for strong and attractive growth well into the future," concluded Jorden. "With this financial results release, we are making the commitment to now regularly report on our progress beyond our periodic filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. We are enthusiastic about the remainder of 2026 and look forward to sharing future developments and our related results."
