The Japan Times - AtlasClear Holdings Reports Preliminary Fiscal 2026 Revenue of Approximately $20.1 Million, Up 85%; Revenue Plus Interest Income of Approximately $21.9 Million

AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: ATCH) (“AtlasClear” or the “Company”), a company building regulated financial infrastructure for smaller institutions, fintechs and advisors, today announced select preliminary unaudited financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

Revenue

Based on preliminary unaudited results, AtlasClear expects to report fiscal 2026 total revenues of approximately $20.1 million, an increase of approximately 85% from $10.9 million in fiscal 2025. The Company also expects to report interest income of approximately $1.8 million, which is presented in other income under GAAP. Total revenues plus interest income are expected to be approximately $21.9 million, compared with approximately $12.9 million in fiscal 2025, an increase of approximately 70%. The separate audited financial statements of the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary, AtlasClearing, Inc., for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, filed with the SEC on August 31, 2026, present interest income within revenues and report total revenues of approximately $21.8 million.

Growth came from both the core commission business and newer business lines. Commission revenue increased approximately 56% to approximately $9.3 million. Stock locate fees, a business the Company launched and scaled during fiscal 2026, increased to approximately $6.8 million from approximately $0.3 million and represented approximately 34% of total revenues. Net gains on firm trading accounts contributed approximately $0.5 million. As a result, commission revenue grew in absolute dollars while declining from approximately 55% of total revenues in fiscal 2025 to approximately 46% in fiscal 2026, and non-commission revenue lines represented approximately 54% of the total.

Profitability and Balance Sheet

The Company expects to report net income of approximately $2.0 million for fiscal 2026, its second consecutive year of positive net income, which includes non-cash gains from changes in the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. At June 30, 2026, the Company expects to report cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15.4 million, more than double the $7.5 million a year earlier; total stockholders’ equity of approximately $21.1 million, compared with a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $6.8 million at June 30, 2025; and total liabilities of approximately $50.1 million, a reduction of approximately $17.6 million.

Net capital at AtlasClearing, Inc. increased to approximately $14.4 million at June 30, 2026 from $11.2 million a year earlier, as reported in AtlasClearing’s audited annual report filed with the SEC. That is approximately $14.1 million above its minimum requirement and well above the $10 million excess net capital threshold that the National Securities Clearing Corporation requires of firms that clear for introducing brokers. Net capital is stated after deducting unsecured receivables from other broker-dealers for stock locate fees, which are treated as non-allowable assets until collected and have grown with the stock locate business.

Correspondent Pipeline and Capital Discipline

AtlasClearing has signed clearing agreements with six new correspondent broker-dealers, which are in various stages of onboarding and conversion. Fiscal 2026 results include no meaningful revenue from these relationships, which the Company expects to begin contributing as conversions are completed during fiscal 2027.

Fiscal 2026 growth was achieved without reliance on at-the-market or equity line financing. The Company sold no shares under its equity line facility during fiscal 2026 and has not conducted any at-the-market offering or other dilutive capital raise since its October 2025 institutional unit financing. Shares outstanding were approximately 150.3 million at June 30, 2026 and approximately 151.8 million as of the date of this release.

Management Commentary

“Fiscal 2026 was a breakout year for AtlasClear. Revenue increased approximately 85% to roughly $20.1 million, and including interest income the business generated approximately $21.9 million,” said John Schaible, Executive Chairman of AtlasClear Holdings. “Just as important is how we got there. More than half of our revenue now comes from lines of business that barely existed two years ago, and we did it without an at-the-market program or an equity line. We finished the year with more than twice the cash, stockholders’ equity of more than $21 million, and a stronger broker-dealer. That is the foundation we intend to build on as we continue to pursue our bank strategy, and we look forward to updating shareholders in greater detail on our full-year results and operations later this month.”

“The operating story at AtlasClearing is one of execution,” said Craig Ridenhour, President of AtlasClear Holdings and Chairman of AtlasClearing, Inc. “Commissions grew more than 50%, stock locate went from a standing start to nearly $7 million, and net capital finished the year up more than $3 million. Six new correspondents have signed and none of their revenue is in these numbers yet. As those correspondents onboard, the customer assets and trading activity they bring will give us the ability to scale our stock loan business and to add new forms of interest income, including on margin balances, customer cash and securities lending, on the platform and team we already have in place, with only incremental expense.”

Preliminary Results

The preliminary financial results included in this release have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, the Company’s management. These results are preliminary and unaudited and are subject to completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures and audit. Actual results may differ from the preliminary results presented above, and any such differences could be material. These preliminary results should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s full audited consolidated financial statements. Total revenues plus interest income, as used in this release, is a supplemental measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. It is the sum of total revenues and interest income, each as the Company expects to report them in its consolidated statement of operations, and is presented because interest earned on balances held by the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary is an integral part of its operating economics. It should not be considered a substitute for total revenues determined in accordance with GAAP.

Fiscal 2026 Results and Conference Call

AtlasClear expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 and report its full fiscal 2026 financial results by September 28, 2026. The Company also expects to host a conference call to discuss its fiscal 2026 results by September 28, 2026. Additional details regarding the conference call will be provided in advance.
