8-K Item 2.02: Earnings release
Actionable Insight ▼ Bearish

Revenue has now declined for at least four consecutive quarters (Q4 2025 -15.4%, Q1 2026 -10.3%). With no guidance provided and all segments shrinking, the trajectory remains negative. Monitor for further customer losses in Fulfillment Logistics and any signs of stabilization in Customer Care. The debt-free balance sheet provides a cushion, but the $21M market cap leaves little room for error.

Executive Summary

Harte Hanks reported Q1 2026 revenue of $37.3M, down 10.3% YoY from $41.6M, and a net loss of $0.6M ($-0.08/share) vs a loss of $0.4M ($-0.05/share) a year ago. Operating loss widened to $768K from $40K, and EBITDA fell to $0.3M from $1.0M. All three segments declined, with Fulfillment Logistics down 16.6% and Revenue Solutions down 9.9%. The company maintains a debt-free balance sheet with $4.5M cash and $24.3M credit capacity, but the persistent revenue contraction and margin compression signal ongoing structural headwinds.
