TEN Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Published

on

NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TEN Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: XHLD), through its subsidiary, Ten Events, Inc., the technology company behind TEN, a Digital Experience Platform that powers the next generation of enterprise digital engagement, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Management Commentary

“Third quarter revenue increased 17.9% year over year to $640,000, as we completed customer engagements that had been initiated in prior periods and added revenue from new customers,” said Virgilio Torres, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TEN Holdings. “Our performance reflects continued demand for our digital engagement solutions and our ability to serve both existing and new customers. As we look ahead, our focus remains on expanding recurring revenue, strengthening our technology platform, and accelerating our transition toward a scalable, SaaS-driven business model.”

“Our third-quarter results reflect two significant expenses that we consider non-recurring: a $1.8 million write-off of previously capitalized service contracts and approximately $0.5 million in legal expenses. Excluding these items, our underlying selling, general and administrative expenses declined compared to the same period last year, reflecting the progress we have made in improving operational efficiency. Over the past 12 months, we have reduced our annual operating cost structure by approximately $2.5 million through strategic cost reductions, process improvements, and the integration of AI-driven tools to streamline engineering and accelerate product development. With these efficiencies largely implemented and a leaner operating structure in place, we are now shifting our focus toward accelerating revenue growth, expanding customer relationships, and scaling TEN, our new platform.”

“We also made significant progress in strengthening our balance sheet, reducing short-term related-party borrowings from $4.6 million at the beginning of the year to approximately $0.1 million as of September 30, 2026. Total liabilities declined by approximately 74%, from $7.7 million at year-end 2025 to $2.0 million, reflecting our continued efforts to simplify our capital structure and improve our financial position.”

“One of our most significant milestones this year was the launch of TEN, our next-generation Digital Experience Platform, whose development was accelerated by investments made possible through the proceeds of our June common stock offering, consistent with our previously communicated commitment to product development. TEN represents an important step in our evolution toward a scalable, SaaS-driven business model, bringing together the tools organizations need to create, manage, deliver, and measure digital experiences within a unified platform.

At launch, TEN provides enterprises with a self-service solution for webinars, virtual events, and continuing education programs, with the capacity to support up to 50,000 concurrent attendees. Building on our longstanding relationships with enterprise customers, many of whom rely on our technology for recurring digital engagement initiatives, we see a meaningful opportunity to transition these relationships toward subscription-based arrangements. We believe this approach will deliver greater flexibility and value to our customers while creating a more predictable and recurring revenue stream for TEN Holdings.”

“Looking ahead, we are focused on three priorities: continuing the transition of our business from a managed services provider to a SaaS company, investing in TEN so that it remains competitive, and executing an acquisition strategy aimed at accretive businesses that add revenue and EBITDA, products our sales team can scale, and technology that complements our own. With TEN now in the market, a leaner cost structure, and a simplified balance sheet, we believe TEN Holdings is positioned to build a more scalable, recurring revenue business and create long-term value for our shareholders.”

Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $640,000, a $97,000 or 17.9% increase compared to revenue of $543,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the completion of customer transactions initiated in prior periods, along with revenue contributions from new customers acquired during the current period.
Platform usage revenue decreased by $63,000, or 12.8%, to $428,000.Professional and managed services revenue increased by $160,000, or 307.7%, to $212,000.Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $261,000, a $123,000 or 89.1% increase compared to $138,000 for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to a higher number of on-site events held during the quarter compared to the same period last year. Gross profit was $379,000, compared to $405,000, and gross profit margin was 59.2%, compared to 74.6% in the prior-year period.Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $4,113,000, a $1,928,000 or 88.2% increase compared to SG&A expenses of $2,185,000 for the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.8 million write-off of previously capitalized service contracts that had been subject to amortization, as well as approximately $0.5 million in legal expenses related to ongoing litigation. Excluding these expenses, SG&A expenses would have decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or approximately 18%, compared to the prior-year period. Third quarter 2026 SG&A also included an approximately $0.3 million reduction in expense resulting from the reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation associated with forfeited awards.Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $10,000 from $147,000 in the prior-year period, primarily because the Company’s capitalized software was fully impaired during 2025 and no software assets were subject to amortization during the quarter.Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2026 totaled $2,000, compared to $59,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a lower outstanding short-term loan balance.Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $3,734,000, or $(0.31) per share, a $1,747,000 or 87.9% increase compared to a net loss of $1,987,000, or $(0.84) per share, for the same period in 2025. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by the higher SG&A expenses described above, including the write-off and legal expenses.Weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 11,999,366 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 2,359,622 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Share and per share amounts for prior periods reflect the Company’s 1-for-15 reverse stock split, which became effective on December 1, 2025.

Selected Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.5 million, plus $0.1 million of restricted cash, compared to $1.6 million as of December 31, 2025, and $0.3 million as of September 30, 2025. The increase from year-end was primarily driven by the gross proceeds of the Company’s $7.5 million common stock offering, which closed on June 30, 2026, partially offset by cash used in operating activities. Compared to $5.8 million as of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2.3 million, primarily reflecting $2.7 million of cash used in operating activities during the third quarter, partially offset by $0.7 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.Short-term loans from related parties declined to $0.1 million as of September 30, 2026, from $4.6 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting the settlement of $4.6 million of debt through offsetting against a receivable due from a related party, as well as cash repayments. Total liabilities declined to $2.0 million from $7.7 million at December 31, 2025.Net cash used in operating activities was $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $9.0 million during the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the absence of $4.7 million in advances to related parties made during the prior-year period, partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense and the absence of a $1.3 million non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt recognized in the prior-year period.Net cash used in investing activities was zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $0.8 million during the same period of 2025, due to the absence of expenditures for capitalized internal-use software.Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $10.1 million during the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower proceeds from the issuance of shares and lower related-party loan proceeds received in the prior-year period, partially offset by lower repayments of related-party loans and $0.7 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

During the third quarter, holders exercised stock options to purchase 89,405 shares of common stock, providing the Company with aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $0.73 million.Launched TEN, the Company’s new Digital Experience Platform, which combines registration, live production, audience engagement, on-demand content, and continuing education credentialing in a single system, available on a self-service basis or with managed services as an add-on.Appointed Ian M.

IP GUANGDONG debuts at the Media Center of APEC Economic Leaders’ Week

Published

on

By

GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a news report from South.

The media center for the 2026 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders’ Week opened on November 11 in the host city of Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, southern China.

Located in Hall 2 of the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Futian District, the APEC media center spans around 15,000 square meters. It will offer services including meeting updates, radio and television broadcast feeds, press briefings, and smart news gathering and production tools for nearly 5000 Chinese and international journalists.

IP GUANGDONG, a community open to anyone who wants to share Guangdong’s stories with the world, has set up a themed space called “A Home for Asia-Pacific Friends” at the APEC media center. The space offers Chinese and international journalists a friendly, homelike atmosphere and has been a popular photo spot since opening day.

What unique experiences does IP GUANGDONG offer at the APEC media center? Here is a first look.

Bringing Guangdong’s hospitality to the front lines of reporting

Openness, innovation and cooperation are the three priorities for the APEC China 2026, and they also reflect Guangdong’s approach to welcoming guests. Through “A Home for Asia-Pacific Friends,” IP GUANGDONG is using the occasion to build friendships and offer thoughtful, welcoming services to journalists from around the world. Reporters coming to Shenzhen may be unfamiliar with the city, find it hard to source material, have little space to film on camera or lack equipment, so IP GUANGDONG has set up a range of support services in the themed space.

IP GUANGDONG is a shared platform for Guangdong’s international image, and its library holds more than 50,000 high-quality images and videos from and about the province. Its “Visual Content Station,” located within the themed space, allows Chinese and international journalists to quickly purchase and license high-quality images and footage of Guangdong, providing a one-stop solution to difficulties in sourcing content and uncertainty over usage rights.

In the age of new media, news production moves at almost lightning speed. With a Pocket camera in one hand and a microphone in the other, a single reporter can gather and edit news right at the scene.

To support this way of working, IP GUANGDONG has teamed up with its partner DJI to set up a dedicated DJI service station, where Chinese and international journalists can borrow Osmo Pocket 4 cameras. Reporters can register on site with valid media credentials and borrow a camera for their reporting. During breaks, they can also capture the beauty and variety of Shenzhen, sharing their images with the world through IP GUANGDONG.

Discovering and sharing stories behind Guangdong products

Guangdong goods have continued to attract attention online and offline this year. Their global reach is underpinned not only by Guangdong’s strength in smart manufacturing, but also by the cultural appeal embedded in its products. Every Guangdong product has a story worth telling. Drawing on this rich source of news stories, IP GUANGDONG has teamed up with its partners to display a diverse selection of finely crafted Guangdong products at the themed space’s service counter, giving journalists a place to discover local creations and find inspiration.

Reflecting the current boom in designer collectible toys, IP GUANGDONG is showcasing a range of representative designer toy brands and characters from Guangdong. Highlights include dolls featuring Xiyangyang and Lerongrong, the mascots of the 15th National Games, who have just turned two. Also on display are 3D metal puzzles from Piececool and original characters Laura and the panda Mr. PA from ToyCity. Both companies behind these two brands are based in Dongguan, known as China’s designer toy capital. Also featured are Guangdong’s “three teas”: Yingde black tea, Chaozhou Dancong tea and Zijin cicada tea. Rich in positive symbolism, they offer a vivid introduction to Lingnan culture.

By introducing the products on display in this compact showcase, IP GUANGDONG will work with visiting journalists to explore the stories behind them and share with the world the message that “Guangdong products make the world better.”

Exploring Guangdong without leaving the venue

The IP GUANGDONG themed space also invites visitors to enjoy interactive experiences. Between assignments, journalists can relax and take away their own memories of Guangdong from the APEC China 2026.

At the center of the space, IP GUANGDONG has installed a photo booth where journalists can create personalized postcards featuring Guangdong’s landmarks and scenery. Visitors simply step inside, have their photo taken and choose their favorite Guangdong backdrop. Their custom postcard is generated on the spot, taking them on a virtual tour of the province without leaving the venue.

All 16 landmark images were captured by IP GUANGDONG creators. They include Zhao Junhui’s photograph of the Shenzhen International Exchange Center, the main APEC meeting venue; Liu Shihui’s image of Danxiashan in Shaoguan; Luo Jinping’s view of the “Sea of Pineapples” in Zhanjiang; and Qiu Xuqing’s photograph of the Zhongshan Memorial Pavilion in Shantou Small Park. Each image reveals a different facet of Lingnan’s beauty and reflects the platform’s vision: “Everyone creates, everyone showcases, everyone shares.”

IP GUANGDONG has also prepared 2,000 surprise gift bags for Chinese and international journalists. The bags contain Guangdong specialty snacks, everyday essentials, small cultural and creative gifts, and postcards from the “Snacks of Guangdong” series illustrated by guest contributor XiaoLin Comics. These gifts bring an element of surprise and fun to journalists’ day.

A space to connect: Say “Hello, friend!”

The APEC media center is both a place for Chinese and international journalists to work efficiently and a setting for face-to-face conversation and for sharing observations and experiences. The IP GUANGDONG themed space includes a dedicated area for interviews, discussions and cultural exchanges.

As visitors enter, they are greeted by the words “Hello, friend!” in 12 major languages used across APEC member economies.

On the columns flanking the space, IP GUANGDONG and Chinese tech brand HONOR present “Home Through the Lenses of Asia-Pacific Creators,” a collection of photographs created collaboratively by contributors from around the world. Images from across the Asia-Pacific are displayed alongside scenes of Lingnan, bringing different cultures into conversation through photography.

On the way from the work area to the dining area, journalists can enjoy a calming visual interlude at “Asia-Pacific Perspectives: Impressions of Guangdong,” an illustration exhibition jointly produced by IP GUANGDONG and China Daily. It features 40 selected works by illustrators from APEC member economies, including China, the US, Russia, Japan, Singapore and Indonesia. Guangdong’s streets and lanes, natural landscapes and the warmth of the Asia-Pacific family come to life in their illustrations. Journalists are invited to slow down, glimpse one another’s lives in familiar scenes, unwind and feel a little closer.

Don’t miss out! It’s giveaway time!

How to claim your IP GUANGDONG surprise gift bag

Dates and times: November 11–19, 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. and 2:00–6:00 p.m.

The First Cartridge-Free Smart Waterless Diffuser Is Here. What Would You Fill It With?

Published

on

By

Lephrone set out to solve a frustration for customers who want smart control over their home fragrance and the freedom to choose their own oils. The H300 is the first waterless diffuser to combine cartridge-free refills, Wi-Fi app control, smart home integration, and an in-app fragrance oil library with scanning and personal notes. Customers can use their favorite compatible oils, create their own blends, and use the app to set a scenting schedule and track how much oil is left.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — “There are thousands of fragrance oils out there, so why lock yourself into just one brand?” said a Lephrone developer.

“Lephrone took the best of the diffuser world and left the worst behind.”

We wanted to make a device for people who need a ritual to unwind and want more control over their surroundings. There’s a whole world of sensory experiences out there, and our goal was to bring the way you manage scent at home into the digital world.

With the H300 lephrone diffuser, we kept what we liked about smart cartridge-based diffusers: Wi-Fi connectivity, lephrone app, voice control, and the ability to recognize oils and track how much is left. We made sure it supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. We also did away with what frustrated us most: never-ending subscriptions, cartridges that run out too quickly, and limits on which oils you can use. With the H300, you get to choose the oils you want and create blends you love.

We also added support for multiple users and multiple diffusers, so everyone in the household can control the devices and set schedules. The H300 can run even when it’s offline.

We’re releasing our own fragrances, too. In the app, you can scan them into your personal fragrance library and write down how a scent made you feel, whether you liked it, and what others at home thought of it. That matters because after trying a few oils, it’s easy to forget which one you loved most or which one everyone else kept asking for.

We’re rolling this out to more Lephrone models next. Stay tuned.
