NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRP) ("NextTrip," "the Company," "we," "our," or "us"), a technology-forward travel and media company defining the intersection of media and travel, today announced that it will be added as a member of the Russell Microcap® Index, effective when the U.S. market opened on June 29, 2026, as part of the 2026 Russell indexes reconstitution.

The annual Russell US Indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of April 30, ranked by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell Microcap® Index, which remains in place for one year, results in automatic inclusion in the applicable growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily through objective market capitalization rankings and style attributes.

NextTrip believes inclusion in the Russell Microcap® Index represents an important milestone as the Company continues executing on its differentiated content-to-commerce strategy designed to capitalize on evolving consumer travel behavior. Unlike traditional online travel agencies and booking resellers that operate primarily on transaction-based economics, NextTrip has built an integrated ecosystem positioned at the convergence of streaming media, digital audience engagement, and high-value travel commerce.

Through its expanding portfolio of media and travel assets, including JOURNY, Travel Magazine 2.0, Five Star Alliance, TA Pipeline, GoUSA TV assets, and the Company's proprietary NXT2.0 booking engine, NextTrip is building a scalable platform designed to own both the inspiration and transaction layers of the modern travel customer journey. The Company's growing global media footprint is projected to reach approximately 250 million consumers through its expanding streaming, FAST channel, mobile, and international distribution ecosystem, including its strategic joint venture with KC Global Media.
