OBOOK Holdings (NASDAQ: OWLS) outlines H1 2026 revenue and rapid OwlPay Harbor growth
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
OBOOK Holdings Inc. reported preliminary unaudited total revenue of approximately US$3.85 million to US$3.90 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, with the substantial majority generated by its established Taiwan-based businesses. Complete first half 2026 financial results are expected after the U.S. market closes on Friday, August 21, 2026.
The company highlighted rapid commercial scaling of OwlPay Harbor, its digital currency-based cross-border enterprise payments platform. Based on completed payment volume, OwlPay Harbor reached US$96 million in annualized payment volume using July 2026 activity and US$130 million using the trailing 30 days as of August 13, 2026. Harbor has recorded six consecutive months of sequential payment volume growth, including July payment volume growth of 107.6% month over month and transaction count growth of 109.5%. As of July 31, 2026, there were 79 contracted enterprise clients at various stages from integration to production, though Harbor’s revenue contribution in the first half remained limited.
Management noted that much of the infrastructure and operating base for Harbor is already in place, and expressed a belief that scaling volume over this base could create meaningful operating leverage over time. OBOOK also emphasized its expanding regulatory footprint, with money transmission licenses or equivalents in 41 U.S. states and operations under registrations in the European Union and Japan.

Filing Explained
Harbor’s annualized payment-volume figures are not revenue or liquidity results; complete first-half financial measures remain pending through August 21, 2026.
The release is an interim Form 6-K update, not the company’s completed first-half financial statements; the disclosed revenue range remains subject to closing and review.
For OwlPay Harbor, the structural read is that payment volume is an operating measure: its annualized figures do not equal revenue, historical annual volume, or financial guidance.
Because the July and trailing-30-day reference periods overlap, the figures cannot be used to calculate a rate of change; realized revenue yield and transaction-related costs also vary by client, corridor, transaction mix, and payment volume.

OBOOK Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OWLS) Announces Preliminary First Half 2026 Revenue and Highlights Rapid Commercial Scaling of OwlPay Harbor
Arlington, Virginia, United States, August 14, 2026 – OBOOK Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OWLS) (“OBOOK” or the “Company”), which operates its global fintech business under the brand OwlTing Group, today announced preliminary unaudited revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, together with an operating update for OwlPay Harbor and the date of its first half 2026 earnings release.1
The Company will release its complete unaudited first half 2026 financial results after the U.S. market closes on Friday, August 21, 2026.

The Company has now expanded its regulatory footprint in 42 U.S. states, and it also operates under a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration in Poland (European Union) and an Electronic Payment Service Operator (Bank API license) in Japan.

Preliminary First Half 2026 Revenue
Based on preliminary information and subject to completion of the Company's closing and review procedures, the Company expects to report total revenue of approximately US$3.85 million to US$3.90 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
The substantial majority of consolidated revenue in the period continued to be generated by the Company’s established Taiwan-based businesses.
OwlPay Harbor is the Company’s digital currency-based platform for cross-border enterprise payments. The platform enables businesses to use digital currencies and fiat currencies for cross-border payments, with recipients receiving local currency into bank accounts in destination markets through OwlTing's payment and settlement infrastructure. OwlPay earns transaction-based fees on payments processed through the platform.
Enterprise clients typically progress through contract execution, compliance review, API integration, corridor activation, and pilot transactions before moving into recurring production activity. During the first half of 2026, most of Harbor’s contracted enterprise clients remained within these stages, and Harbor’s contribution to first half revenue was correspondingly limited. The first half results therefore largely reflect the Company's historical revenue base, while Harbor's commercial acceleration became increasingly visible after period-end.
OwlPay Harbor Operating Update
OwlPay Harbor entered commercial scaling approximately six months ago, following more than five years of investment in payment technology, regulatory infrastructure, banking and settlement relationships, compliance capabilities, and international payment connectivity.
Based on completed payment volume during July 2026, OwlPay Harbor reached annualized payment volume of approximately US$96 million. Based on completed payment activity during the trailing 30 days as of August 13, 2026, annualized payment volume was approximately US$130 million.2
This follows the six consecutive months of sequential payment volume growth previously disclosed by the Company, including July payment volume growth of 107.6% over June and transaction count growth of 109.5%, indicating growth driven by a higher number of completed payments rather than by individual large transactions.3 As of July 31, 2026, the Company had 79 contracted enterprise clients at various stages of integration, activation, and production.4
OwlPay Harbor generates transaction-based revenue, with realized revenue yield varying by client, corridor, and transaction mix. Payment volume is an operating measure and is not a measure of revenue. Harbor also incurs transaction-related costs, including payout partner, banking, and settlement costs, that vary with payment volume.
2 Annualized payment volume is a point-in-time operating measure calculated by dividing completed payment volume on OwlPay Harbor during the applicable reference period by the number of days in that period and multiplying the result by 365. Two reference periods are presented: the calendar month of July 2026, and the trailing 30 days as of August 13, 2026. These reference periods overlap, as the trailing 30-day period includes days falling within July 2026. The two figures are therefore not sequential period results and should not be used to derive a rate of change between periods. Annualized payment volume is unaudited and derived from the Company’s internal records. It is a derived measure and does not represent actual historical annual payment volume, contracted payment volume, revenue, or financial guidance, and it should not be used to project future payment volume or revenue. Completed payment volume in any reference period may not be representative of any other period. The Company intends to present this measure using consistent definitions and to disclose any material change in how it is defined or calculated.
3 Operating metrics are unaudited and derived from the Company’s internal records. Monthly figures reflect transactions completed within the applicable calendar month. July 2026 payment volume and transaction count growth were previously disclosed. See “OwlTing Group (NASDAQ: OWLS) Reports OwlPay Harbor July Payment Volume Increased 107.6% Month Over Month,” issued August 3, 2026, available at https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/08/03/3337383/0/en/owlting-group-nasdaq-owls-reports-owlpay-harbor-july-payment-volume-increased-107-6-month-over-month.html.
4 Enterprise client counts are unaudited and derived from the Company’s internal records, including clients with an executed services agreement and/or fee schedule with the Company.
Management Commentary
“For more than five years, we invested in what a global payment network actually requires: the technology, the regulatory capabilities, the banking and settlement relationships, and the compliance systems. None of that appears in a revenue line while it is being built, and our reported results have continued to come mostly from our established businesses in Taiwan,” said Darren Wang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of OBOOK Holdings Inc.
“Harbor entered commercial scaling only approximately six months ago, and it has delivered sequential payment volume growth in every month since. Based on July activity, annualized payment volume reached approximately US$96 million, and based on the latest trailing 30-day period through August 13, that run-rate was approximately US$130 million.”
“What is most encouraging to us is the speed and consistency with which this new business is scaling. The pattern we watch is whether clients that complete integration continue transacting and increase their activity over time, and that is what we are beginning to see.”
“We remain early. Our focus now is to bring more of our contracted client base into recurring production, increase utilization among active clients and expand across additional corridors. We believe the second half will give investors a much clearer view of the scale this business can achieve.”
Winnie Lin, Chief Financial Officer of OBOOK Holdings Inc., added: “A significant portion of the infrastructure and operating base supporting Harbor has already been established. As payment volume scales, we believe this structure can support materially greater activity without requiring a proportionate increase in the underlying operating base, creating the potential for meaningful operating leverage over time.”
