Sharps Technology, Inc., (NASDAQ: “STSS” and “STSSW”), an innovative medical device and pharmaceutical packaging company offering patented, best-in-class syringe products, issues a shareholder letter from Robert Hayes, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Thanks to a very important Sales Agreement with a prominent U.S.-based supplier of medical saline and water products, Sharps is bringing the year to a close on a high note. In Q2, we signed an agreement to supply the customer with customized 10mL SoloGard syringes manufactured at our Hungary facility. The execution of this five-year Sales Agreement creates a manufacturing demand for at least 500 million syringes and completely sells out the currently available manufacturing capacity for Sharps’ 10mL SoloGard syringes. The project provides a clear path for revenue acceleration beginning in the first quarter of 2025, with a phased ramp up throughout 2025 and beyond. It is transformative for Sharps and is driving the need for both near- and long-term expansion to support the combination of customer projects that are currently slated for manufacture at the Hungary plant.

The Company has also just signed new customer sales agreements with a prominent European medical supply company serving Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, to purchase the 1mL and 3mL SecureGard inventory located in Hungary. The first delivery and revenue occurred in early December, and we expect that the customer will purchase all available inventory over the next several months. The agreement also set the stage for new production orders beginning in Q2 of 2025 that will consume all currently available production capacity.

The demand for Sharps’ innovative injection solutions continues to grow rapidly, with injectables remaining the preferred delivery method for therapies such as vaccines, biologics, weight loss and maintenance, ophthalmic and cosmetic applications, gene therapies, and diabetes and inflammatory disease management. As a result of this market growth and the impact of the increased tariffs, recalls, and quality issues with Chinese supplied syringes, Sharps has experienced increasing levels of interest and potential demand for the Company’s high-quality smart safety syringe products. This demand is setting the stage for needed growth and expansion in the Hungary facility and is also driving a potential collaboration between Sharps and Hungarian-based investment opportunities. We are beginning to work with both government and private investment sources in Hungary to expand the current manufacturing footprint and take advantage of the need to increase both SecureGard and SoloGard manufacturing capacity.

Based on these two very exciting projects, Sharps is anticipating solid revenue growth for the Hungary facility. The previously announced expansion in Hungary will increase the annual SecureGard capacity to more than 100 million units, and the SoloGard capacity to more than 125 million units. We expect up to $400k in revenue in December 2024 and have internal revenue targets of more than $5 million in 2025, $15 million in 2026, and $20 million in 2027. These targets represent revenue generated by the facility in Hungary, and do not include any potential revenue from Sharps’ U.S. projects or third-party agreements.

Sharps’ leadership team continues to work on finalizing the acquisition of the manufacturing assets at the InjectEZ facility in Columbia, SC. Although the timeframe has been extended due to business developments with the selling partner, we expect to be able to give a more substantial update to our shareholders after the first of the year.

Thanks to the ongoing support of our family of investors, we regained compliance with NASDAQ’s listing rules. Sharps worked with a regulatory team to complete the requirements of the remediation plan, and we received NASDAQ’s notification in a letter dated November 13, 2024 that Sharps had regained full compliance with the listing rules.

Specializing in the development and manufacturing of innovative drug delivery systems, Sharps’ SecureGard and SoloGard product lines focus on low waste and ultra-low waste syringe technologies that also incorporate active safety features, as well as World Health Organization accredited re-use prevention. Once manufacturing begins in the US, our Nexent line of polymer prefillable syringes will help to fill the healthcare industry’s demand for the highest quality drug delivery solutions. Sharps is well positioned to respond to the upcoming opportunities and we are looking at a bright future ahead.

Thank you for your continuing support and confidence in our Company. For more information, please visit http://sharpstechnology.com
