Second Quarter 2023 and Recent Operational
Highlights
- Partnered with INTRIX, Inc. to license HeartCore’s Content
Management System (CMS).
- Executed a deal with Honda Trading Corporation for HeartCore’s
task mining software solution, CONTROLIO, a web-based cloud system
for employee monitoring and productivity enhancement.
- Presented virtually and held one-on-one meetings at the Sidoti
& Co.’s June Virtual Small-Cap Conference.
- Hosted a U.S. Exchange Listing seminar in Tokyo, Japan on June
9, 2023 to a myriad of Japanese companies on the realities of going
public on U.S. Exchanges in addition to an overview of its very
successful Go IPO consulting service.
- Partnered with Toppan Inc. to strengthen and expand Toppan’s
digital marketing business utilizing HeartCore’s Contents
Management System, in addition to both companies collaborating on
joint business ventures.
- Signed tenth Go IPO consulting service agreement with rYojbaba
Inc.
- Second quarter revenue grew 91% compared to same period
2022.
- Year-to-Date revenue grew 180% compared to same period
2022.
- Q2 2023 EPS loss of $0.04 was primarily due to lower consulting
services revenue as none of HeartCore’s clients’ pending IPOs were
completed in the second quarter.
- YTD 2023 Company remained profitable and expects significant
growth in second half 2022.
Management Commentary“This past quarter
reflected a period of growth from our enterprise software division,
in addition to a time of important back-end movement within our Go
IPO segment as our two-pronged growth strategy continues to
manifest into full effect,” said CEO Sumitaka Yamamoto. “As
evidenced by growth of 102% and successfully hitting profitability
within our enterprise software vertical, we continue to garner new
customers and capitalize on synergistic opportunities with
Sigmaways. Though we didn’t have any Go IPO clients go public in
Q2, we have a significant amount of progress being made behind the
scenes and expect to see a robust second half of the year and
beyond. I am very encouraged by the results we’ve generated year to
date and expect an even stronger end to the calendar year.”
Second Quarter 2023 Financial ResultsRevenues
increased 91% to $5.1 million compared to $2.7 million in the same
period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased
revenue from customized software development and services as a
result of Sigmaway and its subsidiaries, and an increase from GO
IPO consulting services as the Company obtained more IPO Consulting
customers in 2023.
Gross profit increased 13% to $1.5 million (gross margin of 30%)
from $1.3 million (gross margin of 50%) in the same period last
year. The increase was primarily from increased maintenance and
support services and customized software development and services,
offset by decrease in sales of on-premise software.
Operating expenses remained consistent at $3.0 million from the
same period last year. The increase in general and administrative
expenses was offset by decreases in selling and research and
development expenses.
Net loss was $1.0 million or $(0.04) per diluted share, compared
to a net loss of $1.7 million or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the
same period last year.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of $4.2 million compared to $7.2 million in December 31, 2022.
Six Months 2023 Financial ResultsRevenues
increased 180% to $13.8 million compared to $4.9 million in the
same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased
revenue from customized software development and services as a
result of Sigmaways and its subsidiaries, and an increase from GO
IPO consulting services as the Company obtained more IPO Consulting
customers in 2023 and received warrants from its customers.
Gross profit increased 180% to $7.1 million (gross margin of
52%) from $2.6 million (gross margin of 52%) in the same period
last year. The increase was primarily due to an increase from GO
IPO consulting services and customized software development and
services.
Operating expenses increased to $6.3 million from $5.8 million
in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to
increases in selling and general and administrative expenses,
offset by a decrease in research and development expenses.
Net income was about $785,000 or $0.05 per diluted share
compared to a net loss of $3.3 million or $(0.18) per diluted
share, in the same period last year.
