NextTrip regains compliance with Nasdaq equity rule

NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRP), a Nevada-based company specializing in transportation services with a market capitalization of $6.32 million, announced today it believes it has regained compliance with the Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. InvestingPro analysis reveals the company currently faces significant financial challenges, with an overall health score rated as WEAK. This follows a series of transactions including equity offerings, debt conversions, and strategic deals since November 30, 2024.

The company received a notification from Nasdaq on September 18, 2024, stating that its stockholders’ equity had fallen below the required $2.5 million threshold for continued listing. NextTrip was given until November 4, 2024, to submit a plan to restore compliance.

According to the update, NextTrip’s actions since the end of the third fiscal quarter of 2024 have increased its stockholders’ equity beyond the $5 million minimum, which is also the initial listing requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market. As of the date of this report, the company’s stockholders’ equity is believed to exceed $5 million. Financial data from InvestingPro shows the company operates with a concerning current ratio of 0.24, indicating potential liquidity challenges, while carrying a debt burden of $3.79 million.

The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet attached to this report illustrates the impact of the company’s financial maneuvers post-November 30, 2024, assuming these events occurred at the end of the quarter. This document supplements the company’s unaudited balance sheet from November 30, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on January 14, 2025.

NextTrip’s compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement will continue to be monitored by Nasdaq, with the possibility of delisting if the company fails to demonstrate compliance in its next periodic report.

The company’s efforts to address the shortfall in stockholders’ equity reflect its commitment to maintaining its listing status and providing value to its shareholders. Despite these efforts, InvestingPro data indicates the stock has experienced significant volatility, with a 53.28% price return over the past six months but a -34.16% return year-to-date.
