## Exhibit 99.1

**HeartCore Reports Full Year 2025 Results** 

**NEW YORK and TOKYO, March 31, 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 full year ended December 31, 2025.

**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.

● <u>Authorized</u> one-time distribution payment to stockholders.

● <u>Authorized</u> $2.0 million share repurchase program.

● <u>Divested</u> software business subsidiary, HeartCore Co., Ltd ("HeartCore Japan").

● Established Higgs Field Co., Ltd. ("Higgs Field") on October 31, 2025, as a new subsidiary in Japan to support the Company's strategic transition toward financial services.

**Management Commentary**

HeartCore CEO Sumitaka Kanno commented:"Over the past year, we executed a strategic transformation of our business, including the divestiture of our software business subsidiary, HeartCore Japan, and a shift toward financial services and capital markets-related activities. We have also made progress in our Go IPO business, with an expanding client base and multiple engagements advancing through various stages of the registration and listing process. In addition, we established Higgs Field in the fourth quarter of 2025 to serve as our new operating platform in Japan. Going forward, we will continue to strengthen our focus on financial services and aim to drive sustainable growth and long-term stockholder value."

**Full Year 2025 Financial Results**

Revenues were $9.0 million, compared to $22.7 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to receipt of $13 million in warrant revenue from one large Go IPO deal in the prior period, and no comparable revenue in the current period.

Gross profit was $3.2 million, compared to $14.7 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of a significant warrant-related revenue contribution from a large Go IPO deal recognized in the prior period.

Operating expenses decreased to $6.3 million, compared to $14.9 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in operating expenses to save cash flows and the absence of impairment charges for intangible assets and goodwill during the current period.

Net income was $5.5 million, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the gain on the sale of HeartCore Japan.

Adjusted EBITDA was $6.5 million, compared to $7.3 million in the same period last year.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.0 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.
