Exhibit 99.1

Elite Express Holding Inc. Reports Second Quarter

2026 Results

LAGUNA

HILLS, Calif., July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Elite Express Holding Inc. (“ETS” or the “Company”)

(Nasdaq: ETS), a California-based provider of last-mile delivery services, today reported results for the quarter ended May 31, 2026.

Second

Quarter 2026 Financial Results

For

the three months ended May 31, 2026, the Company reported revenue of $726,829, representing an increase of $96,579, or 15.3%,

compared with $630,250 for the three months ended May 31, 2025. Activity-based revenue accounted for $512,123, or 70.4% of total revenue,

during the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared with $470,826, or 74.6% of total revenue, for the same period in the prior year.

Fixed revenue, including weekly service charges and branding-related revenue, increased from $156,473 for the three months ended May

31, 2025 to $214,333 for the three months ended May 31, 2026. This increase was primarily attributable to higher weekly service charge

rates under the Company's ISP agreement with FedEx, which was renewed on February 21, 2026. Other Pickup and Delivery revenue decreased

from $2,951 for the three months ended May 31, 2025 to $373 for the three months ended May 31, 2026, representing a decrease of $2,578.

The

Company also reported cost of revenue of $645,792 for the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared with $612,248 for the three

months ended May 31, 2025, representing an increase of $33,544, or 5.5% This increase was primarily due to increased maintenance and

repair costs and higher cost of service related to the rental of additional vehicles to fulfill the Company’s delivery volume obligations.

For the three months ended May 31, 2026, the

Company reported gross profit of $81,037, compared with $18,002 for the three months ended May 31, 2025, representing an improvement

of $63,035. Gross margin improved to 11.1% for the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared with 2.9% in the prior-year period. The

improvement was primarily attributable to higher revenue growth, which outpaced the increase in cost of revenue.

General

and administrative expenses for the Company increased by $564,310, or 398.1%, to $706,072 for the three months ended May 31, 2026,

from $141,762 for the three months ended May 31, 2025. The increase was mainly due to (i) $115,312 in higher professional fees, primarily

related to audit services, financial reporting, and SEC and regulatory compliance related to the Comnpany’s transition to a public

company; (ii) $196,697 in higher payroll expenses associated with personnel supporting corporate governance, internal controls, and administrative

operations; (iii) a $200,000 increase in franchise tax expenses; and (iv) $52,301 in other expenses.

During the three months ended May 31, 2026, the

Company's loans receivable portfolio, which originated in fiscal 2025, generated interest income of $224,606. The loans were extended

to unrelated third-party business partners to generate interest income on the net proceeds from the Company's initial public offering

prior to their deployment for the purposes described in the Company's prospectus. Each loan originally bore interest at an annual rate

of 8% and matured in May 2026 following the agreed extension of the original terms. During the three months ended May 31, 2026, the Company

received principal repayments totaling $300,000. Effective June 1, 2026, the remaining outstanding loans were extended for an additional

six months and now bear interest at an annual rate of 5%, and will mature on November 30, 2026. As of the date of this release, the Company

has received aggregate interest payments of $400,000. All loans remain secured by irrevocable personal unlimited joint and several liability

guarantees provided by the shareholders or chief executive officers of the respective borrowers, and the Company has no related-party

relationships with the borrowers.

The

Company reported a net loss of $2,532,942 for the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared with a net loss of $107,604 for the

same period of 2025, representing an increase of $2,425,338, or 2,253.9%. The increase was primarily attributable to significant research

and development expenses associated with the Company's long-term strategic initiatives, partially offset by higher revenue, improved

gross profitability, and interest income earned on loans receivable.

Yidan Chen, ETS’s CEO commented, “Our

second quarter results demonstrate continued operational progress reflecting the continued effectiveness of our operational execution

and efficiency initiatives.

“During the quarter, we continued to optimize

route management, fleet utilization, and labor productivity while making significant investments in research and development to support

our long-term technology strategy. Although these investments had a significant impact on our GAAP net results for the quarter, we believe

they will strengthen our competitive position and enhance our long-term growth prospects.”
