Rhea-AI Filing Summary

HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. reported first quarter 2026 results showing lower revenue but a narrower net loss as it refocuses on financial services and IPO consulting. Revenue was $1.25 million, down from $2.09 million a year earlier, mainly due to weaker customized software demand and higher subcontracting costs.

Gross profit fell to $74,000, while operating expenses declined slightly to $1.61 million as selling costs were reduced. Net loss improved to $2.0 million from $3.1 million, helped by a smaller loss on marketable securities. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.6 million versus a loss of $1.3 million last year.

As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $0.77 million and total assets were $11.77 million. HeartCore highlighted 16 Go IPO clients, regaining compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price, and authorizing a $2.0 million share repurchase program as it works to expand its capital markets-related services.

Positive

  • Net loss improved to $2.0 million from $3.1 million, largely due to a smaller loss on the fair value of investments in marketable securities.
  • HeartCore regained compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price requirement and authorized a $2.0 million share repurchase program, signaling ongoing commitment to its U.S. listing and equity structure.
  • The company is building out financial services capabilities, including preparing to seek a Type I Financial Instruments business license in Japan and adding experienced financial industry personnel.

Negative

  • Revenues declined to $1.25 million from $2.09 million, with gross profit dropping to $74,000 as customized software and Go IPO consulting both faced margin pressure.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss widened to $1.6 million from a loss of $1.3 million, indicating weaker core operating performance despite cost controls.
  • Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $0.77 million as of March 31, 2026, while total current liabilities reached $5.86 million, highlighting a tight near-term liquidity position.

Insights

Revenue fell and cash tightened, but losses narrowed and listing compliance was regained.

HeartCore generated $1.25 million of Q1 2026 revenue, down from $2.09 million, as customized software activity weakened and outsourcing costs rose. Gross profit compressed to $74,000, reflecting pressure in both Go IPO consulting and software segments.

Despite the revenue decline, net loss improved to $2.0 million from $3.1 million, mainly from a smaller loss on the fair value of marketable securities. Operating expenses were held roughly flat at $1.61 million, showing some cost discipline even as the company invests in financial services expertise.

Liquidity is a key consideration: cash and cash equivalents fell to $0.77 million as of March 31, 2026, while total current liabilities were $5.86 million. The authorization of a $2.0 million share repurchase program and the focus on 16 active Go IPO clients indicate a commitment to capital markets positioning, but actual impact will depend on future operating cash flows and market conditions.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.6 million compared to a loss of $1.3 million in the same period last year."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Go IPO financial
"HeartCore was engaged with 16 Go IPO clients, including 6 clients currently in various stages of preparation for potential public registrations."
Type I Financial Instruments business license regulatory
"we prepare to seek a Type I Financial Instruments business license in Japan."
A Type I financial instruments business license is a regulatory permit that authorizes a firm to buy, sell or trade financial instruments—such as stocks, bonds or certain derivatives—on behalf of clients or itself. For investors it matters because the license signals that a firm is legally allowed to handle trades and is subject to oversight, rules and controls that reduce operational and fraud risk, much like a driver’s license shows someone is authorized and tested to drive safely.
Non-GAAP financial measures financial
"This document includes references to adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure."
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
Derivative liability financial
"Changes in fair value of derivative liability | | | (870 | ) | | | | - |"
A derivative liability is an obligation a company owes because of a derivatives contract—such as an option, future, swap, or forward—that has moved against it and now has negative value. Think of it like a settled bet that turned into a bill: if market moves go the other way, the company may have to pay cash or deliver assets. Investors care because these liabilities can create sudden losses, add leverage or counterparty risk, and change a company’s true financial exposure beyond its everyday operations.

HeartCore Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

 

NEW YORK and TOKYO, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: HTCR) (“HeartCore” or the “Company”), an IPO consulting services company based in Tokyo, reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

 

Recent Operational Highlights

 

As of March 31, 2026, HeartCore was engaged with 16 Go IPO clients, including 6 clients currently in various stages of preparation for potential public registrations and U.S. exchange listings
Regained Nasdaq $1.00 minimum bid price requirement

Management Commentary

 

HeartCore CEO Sumitaka Kanno commented: “During the first quarter of 2026, HeartCore continued to advance its strategic focus on financial services and capital markets-related services, with Go IPO remaining the key contributor for coming quarters. While the Nasdaq listing environment has become selective and increasingly focused on compliance, we continue to see interest from Japanese and other Asia-based companies seeking access to the U.S. capital markets. In light of these current market conditions, we are focused on expanding the number of engagements and enhancing the overall quality of our pipeline by prioritizing clients that we believe demonstrate stronger listing readiness and long-term financing potential.

 

“Through our subsidiary Higgs Field Co., Ltd., we are also taking steps to support potential expansion into additional financial services and sectors, including digital securities and capital markets advisory services. During the first quarter, we added experienced financial industry personnel and further developed our organizational structure as we prepare to seek a Type I Financial Instruments business license in Japan. We are also working with external professionals and industry organizations to further strengthen our internal management and compliance framework.

 

“Looking ahead, we remain focused on broadening our Go IPO client base that aligns with Nasdaq’s tightened requirements and diversifying our revenue base as we further develop and advance our financial services business.”

 

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

 

Revenues were $1.2 million compared to $2.1 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in customized software development and services revenue as a result of intense competition in the U.S. software market.

 

Gross profit was $74,000 compared to $0.5 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit from Go IPO consulting services resulting from increased outsourcing fees and additional resources invested to enhance customer experience, as well as lower gross profit from customized software development and services due to decreased revenues and higher subcontracting costs for outsourced software engineers amid rising salary levels in the software market.

 

Operating expenses decreased to $1.6 million compared to $1.7 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in selling expenses.

 

 
 

 

Net loss was $2.0 million compared to a loss of $3.1 million in the same period last year. The improvement was primarily due to a reduction in the loss on the fair value of investments in marketable securities.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.6 million compared to a loss of $1.3 million in the same period last year.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This document includes references to adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. For the purposes of this presentation, adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net loss to exclude depreciation and amortization, changes in fair value of investments in marketable securities, changes in fair value of investment in warrants, interest income, and interest expenses.

 

This measure is presented as supplemental information and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).

 

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors by highlighting the Company’s core operational performance, excluding non-cash and non-recurring items. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
