“We believe we are making meaningful progress against our priorities from diversifying access points, elevating brand relevance, and engaging with consumers wherever wellness matters the most,” said Ezra Ernst, CEO of XWELL. “Our expanded partnership with Priority Pass builds on the tremendous response we’ve seen from travelers across our U.S. airport spas, while the openings of off-airport wellness centers in Penn Station and several Florida markets demonstrate how XWELL is successfully extending its services to customers where they live, work, and travel. Supported by our long-standing CDC partnership, ongoing operational discipline and targeted growth strategy, I am confident in the opportunities that lie ahead for XWELL.”
Reduced Corporate Infrastructure
XWELL also announced today that subsequent to the end of the 2025 third quarter, it implemented targeted actions to streamline its corporate cost structure, including removing approximately $2.4 million in annualized staffing costs.

This action is anticipated to deliver meaningful cost savings while maintaining XWELL’s digital platform and AI capabilities, which are critical for supporting future growth.
“Following the end of the third quarter, we took decisive steps to streamline our cost structure and align operations around our most critical growth priorities,” Ezra Ernst added. “While decisions like these are never easy, with our operational foundation and infrastructure now in order, we believe XWELL remains well-positioned to expand efficiently both inside and outside of airports.”

Biosecurity Program
Through XpresCheck, XWELL operates at the forefront of global biosecurity.
In March 2025, XWELL secured a three-year extension of its Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance Program (“TGS”), operated with the CDC and Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings. The TGS program, provides early detection of emerging pathogens, safeguarding national health through airport-based biosurveillance.
Building on this foundation, XWELL’s biosecurity platform and expertise position the Company to capture new international growth opportunities across travel and mass-gathering settings. This includes biosecurity at large-scale deployments at high-profile global events such as the 2026 World Cup, the Haj, the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy and the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
XpresCheck, which helped power national COVID-19 testing and reporting during the pandemic, now serves as the operational and technological core of this next phase of XWELL’s strategic, science-driven wellness initiatives.
