Exhibit 99.1
HeartCore Announces Preliminary Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results
FY 2025 Revenue Expected to Range Between $8.5 Million and $9.5 Million
FY 2025 Net Income Expected to Range Between $3.0 Million and $4.0 Million
NEW YORK and TOKYO, February 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTCR) (“HeartCore” or the “Company”), an IPO consulting services company based in Tokyo, today announced select preliminary financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. These results are preliminary, unaudited, and subject to the completion of the Company’s annual audit. Actual results may differ materially as a result of the final audit process, including the receipt of additional information and related determinations.
Preliminary FY 2025 Financial Highlights
Based on currently available unaudited information, HeartCore expects:
| ● | Revenue to be in the range of $8.5 million to $9.5 million | |
| ● | Net income to be in the range of $3.0 million to $4.0 million |
The year-over-year decline in consolidated revenue primarily reflects the strategic divestiture of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, HeartCore Co., Ltd. (“HeartCore Japan”), which was completed on October 31, 2025. As a result of this transaction, approximately $7.0 million to $8.0 million of revenue previously generated by HeartCore Japan has been excluded from the Company’s consolidated revenue for 2025.
Despite the decline in revenue, the Company recorded an approximately $7.0 million gain on the sale of HeartCore Japan, contributing to a significant improvement in profitability. As a result, HeartCore expects to report net income of $3.0 million to $4.0 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million in the prior year.
Expected Fiscal Year 2025 Revenue by business type:
| Software Related Business | Go IPO Business | Total | ||
| $7.0 million – $7.5 million | $1.5 million – $2.0 million | $8.5 million – $9.5 million |
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has been engaged by a cumulative total of 16 Go IPO clients, with five companies currently under active engagement for listing preparation.
HeartCore CEO Sumitaka Kanno commented: “The divestiture of HeartCore Japan, which generated approximately JPY 1.8 billion in proceeds, represents a major milestone in our capital strategy and marks a transition into our next phase of growth. We are reallocating this capital into growth initiatives and strategically realigning our business to focus within the financial services sector. No matter how advanced autonomous AI becomes, we believe that businesses built on authentic human connection will remain irreplaceable. Our Go IPO business is the embodiment of this approach, and following the divestiture of our software business, we have focused on identifying new ways to broaden and elevate our practice within the financial services sector. With a few initiatives underway aimed at both expanding our service offerings and generating new, sustainable revenue streams beyond Go IPO, we look forward to sharing further details in the coming weeks.”
