Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 5, 2026) - Restart Life Sciences Corp. (CSE: HEAL) (FSE: HN30) (OTC Pink: NMLSF) ("Restart Life" or the "Company") is pleased to report a significant revenue milestone for April 2026, marking a period of substantial growth following the integration of Holy Crap Foods Inc.

Since completing the acquisition on February 27, 2026, the Company has executed a strategic roadmap focused on stabilizing operations, optimizing channel efficiency, and scaling distribution. The April 2026 financial results demonstrate that these integration efforts have successfully driven strong year-over-year revenue gains.

April 2026 Performance Highlights

The Company's financial results for April 2026 significantly outpaced the performance of the same periods in both 2025 and 2024. Total revenue for April 2026 reached $106,288, representing a 34.2% increase over April 2025 revenue of $79,207 and a 33.5% increase over April 2024 revenue of $79,595.

Wholesale revenue, which continues to represent the core of the Company's Canadian retail distribution network of over 800 locations, demonstrated robust momentum, reaching $87,705. This represents a 45.6% increase compared to the $60,224 generated in April 2025 and a 36.4% increase compared to the $64,282 generated in April 2024.

Digital and E-commerce Acceleration

The Company's direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels have demonstrated a notable shift, driven by the ongoing testing and refinement of various digital marketing initiatives. This shift is part of an active, ongoing testing phase designed to fine-tune channel performance and maximize ROI. Marketing efforts and consumer engagement data are being assessed on a daily basis to identify efficiencies, improve conversion metrics, and drive sustained sales growth. Management remains committed to this iterative approach to ensure the brand's digital presence is optimized for long-term scalability.

In addition to broader e-commerce improvements, the Company's performance on the Amazon platform has shown significant acceleration. Revenue from Amazon sales for the month of April 2026 reached $11,000, representing a substantial 145.7% increase compared to $4,477 in April 2024, and a notable 32% gain over the $8,331 recorded in April 2025. This multi-year growth trend validates the Company's specialized strategy to enhance digital brand visibility and consumer education within the Amazon ecosystem.

Strategic Outlook

Restart Life Sciences remains focused on scaling brand awareness and improving conversion rates across all platforms. With the foundational integration continuing to progress, the Company is continuing its growth-focused strategy in delivering its products to a growing number of households in Canada, continually executing on its growth strategy for the Canadian market while bridging entry into the United States and selected international markets.

"This performance reflects the immediate impact of the strategic initiatives implemented by the Restart Life team post-acquisition," said Steve Loutskou, Chief Executive Officer of Restart Life Sciences. "We are seeing strong growth as we continue to test various distribution methods. We believe that over the next few months, we will fine-tune these methods to sustain long-term revenue growth.
