(NASDAQ: NXXT), a pioneer in AI-driven energy innovation transforming how energy is produced, managed, and delivered through its Next Utility Operating System®, smart microgrids, wireless EV charging, and mobile fuel delivery, today announced it has signed a letter of intent to acquire ReFuel Mobile (“ReFuel”) (2583231 Ontario Inc.), a leading Canadian mobile fueling company. This acquisition marks NextNRG’s entry into international markets through the addition of an established, profitable operation in Canada’s largest province. ReFuel, founded in 2016 and based in Ontario, Canada, specializes in direct-to-vehicle and direct-to-equipment fuel delivery, serving commercial and industrial clients across transportation, construction, logistics, telecom, municipalities, dealerships, and industrial fleet sectors.

The company is currently profitable, showcasing the strength of its monthly recurring business model and contract-based operations with minimal customer churn. Under the terms of the non-binding letter of intent, NextNRG will acquire 100% of ReFuel's stock payable in cash or NextNRG restricted common stock at NextNRG’s discretion. The transaction includes retention of all current employees and management during a transitional period. Closing is expected by August 1, 2025, subject to completion of due diligence, audited financial statements, and execution of a definitive agreement. "This strategic acquisition marks an important milestone as we extend NextNRG's mobile fueling leadership into international markets," said Michael D. Farkas, Founder and CEO of NextNRG. "ReFuel's proven track record of profitable growth, exceptional customer retention, and established market presence in Ontario positions us to capitalize on expanding opportunities across Canada. Their technology-driven approach and operational excellence align perfectly with our strategy of scaling AI-optimized energy solutions globally. The combination of this strategic addition with our accelerating organic growth gives us confidence that forward 12-month revenues of $100 million should be achievable." The acquisition builds on NextNRG's recent domestic expansion across six U.S. states with its fleet of 144 active fuel delivery trucks, and follows the company's strategic partnership with Hudson Sustainable Group and inclusion in the Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® indexes. ReFuel’s proprietary AWS-hosted software platform for operations and customer scheduling will integrate with NextNRG's existing technology infrastructure to enhance service delivery and operational efficiency. ReFuel currently serves the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Hamilton, Oakville, London, and Kitchener markets with plans to expand into additional Ontario regions including Ottawa and Kingston, as well as Quebec markets including Montreal. The company holds TSSA certification and maintains full compliance with federal and provincial fuel handling and safety regulations. Refuel’s customers include: Napa Auto Parts, Autos Canada, Magil Construction, and Fanshawe College. "We're excited to join the NextNRG family and leverage their resources and technology to accelerate our expansion plans," said Ashraf Ghadban, Co-Founder and CEO of ReFuel Mobile, who plans to stay on and assist with the transition. "This transaction will enable Refuel to enhance its service offerings, expand its geographic reach, and continue delivering exceptional value to its growing customer base across Canada." The acquisition is expected to immediately contribute to NextNRG's recurring revenue base while providing a strategic platform for further expansion across Canada and potential entry into additional international markets. ReFuel's focus on innovation includes plans to expand into biofuels and bulk DEF solutions, aligning with NextNRG's commitment to advancing sustainable energy adoption. NextNRG has demonstrated strong momentum, with preliminary May 2025 revenue of $6.6 million representing 148% year-over-year growth and marking the company's fifth consecutive record month. Year-to-date revenue through May reached approximately $28.89 million, already surpassing full-year 2024 revenue of approximately $27 million.
