(NASDAQ:\nOWLS) (“OBOOK” or the “Company”), which operates its global fintech\nbusiness under the brand OwlTing Group, today announced preliminary unaudited\nrevenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, together with an operating\nupdate for OwlPay Harbor and the date of its first half 2026 earnings\nrelease.(1)\n\nThe Company will release its complete unaudited first half 2026 financial\nresults after the U.S. market closes on Friday, August 21, 2026. \n\nPreliminary First Half 2026 Revenue\nBased on preliminary information and subject to completion of the Company's\nclosing and review procedures, the Company expects to report total revenue of\napproximately US$3.85 million to US$3.90 million for the six months ended June\n30, 2026.\n\nThe substantial majority of consolidated revenue in the period continued to be\ngenerated by the Company’s established Taiwan-based businesses.\n\nOwlPay Harbor is the Company’s digital currency-based platform for\ncross-border enterprise payments. The platform enables businesses to use\ndigital currencies and fiat currencies for cross-border payments, with\nrecipients receiving local currency into bank accounts in destination markets\nthrough OwlTing's payment and settlement infrastructure. OwlPay earns\ntransaction-based fees on payments processed through the platform.\n\nEnterprise clients typically progress through contract execution, compliance\nreview, API integration, corridor activation, and pilot transactions before\nmoving into recurring production activity. During the first half of 2026, most\nof Harbor’s contracted enterprise clients remained within these stages, and\nHarbor’s contribution to first half revenue was correspondingly limited. The\nfirst half results therefore largely reflect the Company's historical revenue\nbase, while Harbor's commercial acceleration became increasingly visible after\nperiod-end.\n\nOwlPay Harbor Operating Update\nOwlPay Harbor entered commercial scaling approximately six months ago,\nfollowing more than five years of investment in payment technology, regulatory\ninfrastructure, banking and settlement relationships, compliance capabilities,\nand international payment connectivity.\n\nBased on completed payment volume during July 2026, OwlPay Harbor reached\nannualized payment volume of approximately US$96 million. Based on completed\npayment activity during the trailing 30 days as of August 13, 2026, annualized\npayment volume was approximately US$130 million.(2)\n\nThis follows the six consecutive months of sequential payment volume growth\npreviously disclosed by the Company, including July payment volume growth of\n107.6% over June and transaction count growth of 109.5%, indicating growth\ndriven by a higher number of completed payments rather than by individual\nlarge transactions.(3) As of July 31, 2026, the Company had 79 contracted\nenterprise clients at various stages of integration, activation, and\nproduction.(4)\n\nOwlPay Harbor generates transaction-based revenue, with realized revenue yield\nvarying by client, corridor, and transaction mix. Payment volume is an\noperating measure and is not a measure of revenue. Harbor also incurs\ntransaction-related costs, including payout partner, banking, and settlement\ncosts, that vary with payment volume.\n\nManagement Commentary\n“For more than five years, we invested in what a global payment network\nactually requires: the technology, the regulatory capabilities, the banking\nand settlement relationships, and the compliance systems. None of that appears\nin a revenue line while it is being built, and our reported results have\ncontinued to come mostly from our established businesses in Taiwan,” said\nDarren Wang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of OBOOK Holdings Inc.\n\n“Harbor entered commercial scaling only approximately six months ago, and it\nhas delivered sequential payment volume growth in every month since. Based on\nJuly activity, annualized payment volume reached approximately US$96 million,\nand based on the latest trailing 30-day period through August 13, that\nrun-rate was approximately US$130 million.”\n\n“What is most encouraging to us is the speed and consistency with which this\nnew business is scaling. The pattern we watch is whether clients that complete\nintegration continue transacting and increase their activity over time, and\nthat is what we are beginning to see.”\n\n“We remain early. Our focus now is to bring more of our contracted client\nbase into recurring production, increase utilization among active clients and\nexpand across additional corridors. We believe the second half will give\ninvestors a much clearer view of the scale this business can achieve.”\n\nWinnie Lin, Chief Financial Officer of OBOOK Holdings Inc., added: “A\nsignificant portion of the infrastructure and operating base supporting Harbor\nhas already been established. As payment volume scales, we believe this\nstructure can support materially greater activity without requiring a\nproportionate increase in the underlying operating base, creating the\npotential for meaningful operating leverage over time.”\n\nFirst Half 2026 Results and Conference Call\nThe Company will release its complete unaudited financial results for the six\nmonths ended June 30, 2026 after the U.S. market closes on Friday, August 21,\n2026.
