HeartCore Enterprises (Nasdaq: HTCR) reported its first quarter 2024 financial results, revealing a decline in revenue to $5.0 million from $8.7 million the previous year, largely due to lower revenues from GO IPO consulting services. Despite this, the company achieved significant milestones, including selling a Go IPO client warrant for $9 million, which will be recorded once the client goes public. HeartCore disbursed its first dividend payment of $0.02 per share, expanded its AI and software development divisions, and formed a joint venture in Vietnam. Although the company reported a net loss of $1.5 million, its software business turned profitable, driven by cost reduction strategies and new partnerships. HeartCore holds a strategic outlook for 2024, focusing on expanding its enterprise software business and leveraging its Go IPO team to guide clients through the IPO process.

HeartCore Enterprises, a Tokyo-based enterprise software and consulting firm, updated the market on the sale of a Go IPO client’s warrant. In March 2024, they sold the warrant to a Japanese financial institution for $9 million. By March 31, 2024, $5 million was received, with the remaining $4 million received in April. After referral fees of $3.36 million, net sales were $5.64 million. However, due to accounting rules, the $9 million will be recognized as revenue only when the client becomes public, expected in Fall 2024. Until then, it is classified as debt. Despite this, the funds have been utilized for initiatives including a dividend payment. HeartCore’s Go IPO pipeline remains strong with three new clients in 2024, generating $1.7 million in initial fees and warrants between 2-3%.
