Rhea-AI Filing Summary

SHF Holdings, Inc., doing business as Safe Harbor Financial, reported first quarter 2026 revenue of approximately $2.0 million, up 2.2% from about $1.9 million a year earlier. Loan program income rose 55.6% to roughly $0.8 million, reflecting a richer share of loan economics under the Second Amended PCCU agreement.

Total operating expenses decreased 4.7% to about $3.7 million, but the company recorded a larger net loss of approximately $1.8 million versus $0.8 million in the prior-year quarter, mainly because last year included a $1.1 million non-cash warrant liability benefit. Safe Harbor ended March 31, 2026 with $5.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $6.7 million of stockholders’ equity, compared with a stockholders’ deficit of $16.9 million twelve months earlier, highlighting a major balance sheet turnaround.

Management highlighted a broadened product suite, including new insurance offerings, an expanded payments portfolio, and a full-spectrum lending platform. A February 2026 PCCU amendment extended the partnership through December 2031 and is expected to generate $9 million or more in incremental revenue over the term. The company also cited 29% year-over-year growth in emerging market deposit balances and sees potential long-term benefits from recent U.S. federal cannabis rescheduling developments.

Positive

  • Balance sheet transformation: Stockholders’ equity improved to $6.7 million as of March 31, 2026 from a stockholders’ deficit of ($16.9) million twelve months earlier, giving the company a much stronger capital position.
  • Higher-margin loan income and long-term PCCU deal: Loan program income increased 55.6% year over year to approximately $0.8 million, supported by the Second Amended PCCU Agreement that raises Safe Harbor’s share of loan interest income to up to 65% and is expected to generate $9 million or more in incremental revenue through December 2031.

Negative

  • Widening net loss: Net loss increased to approximately ($1.8) million in the first quarter of 2026 from about ($0.8) million a year earlier, as the prior period benefited from a $1.1 million non-cash gain on warrant liabilities.
  • Lower account and investment income: Account fee income fell 19.0% year over year to approximately $0.9 million and investment income declined 17.8% to $0.2 million, reflecting mix shifts toward money market offerings and lower interest on reserve balances.

Insights

Solid revenue mix and balance sheet repair offset by wider net loss.

Safe Harbor delivered modest revenue growth to $1.98M, but significantly accelerated loan program income by 55.6% to roughly $0.8M, confirming the improved economics from the Second Amended PCCU agreement. Operating expenses fell 4.7% to about $3.74M, showing cost discipline.

Despite this, net loss widened to about $1.78M versus $0.83M a year earlier, largely because the prior period benefited from a $1.1M non-cash gain on warrant liabilities while this quarter saw only $0.02M. Cash declined modestly to $5.90M, and stockholders’ equity stood at $6.73M, a substantial improvement compared with a stockholders’ deficit of $16.9M twelve months before.

The amended PCCU deal, which can raise Safe Harbor’s share of loan interest income to up to 65% and is expected to generate $9M or more in incremental revenue through 2031, plus 29% growth in emerging-market deposits, strengthens the strategic position. However, overall profitability still depends on scaling revenue faster than operating costs and on how regulatory shifts around Schedule III and Section 280E ultimately affect customer demand and competition.

Second Amended PCCU Agreement financial
"Second Amended PCCU Agreement (February 2026): Extended the PCCU partnership through December 2031, increasing Safe Harbor’s share of loan interest income"
Schedule III regulatory
"order placing state-licensed medical cannabis on Schedule III and the expedited DEA hearing"
A Schedule III classification is a regulatory category for drugs and substances that have a recognized medical use but a moderate risk of dependence or abuse, placing them between higher-risk controlled drugs and over-the-counter medicines. For investors, this matters because it shapes how a product can be manufactured, prescribed, marketed and distributed — affecting potential sales, regulatory hurdles, labeling requirements and legal exposure in the market; think of it as a middle level of control that influences commercial access and compliance costs.
Section 280E regulatory
"As Section 280E relief reaches state-licensed medical operators and as additional financial institutions evaluate"
A U.S. federal tax rule that prevents businesses involved in trafficking federally controlled substances from deducting most ordinary business expenses on their federal income tax returns, while still permitting them to count the cost of goods sold. For investors it matters because it increases a company’s effective tax rate and reduces reported profits and cash flow—similar to a store allowed to subtract only the cost of its inventory but not rent or wages—affecting valuations and reinvestment capacity.
stand-ready guarantee liability financial
"Stand-ready guarantee liability | | | 709,667 | | | | 711,667 | Financial indemnification liability"
warrant liabilities financial
"Change in fair value of warrant liabilities | | | 16,599 | | | | 1,116,082 | Total other income expenses"
Warrant liabilities are the financial obligations a company records when it grants warrants—special rights allowing someone to buy shares at a set price in the future. If the warrants are expected to be exercised, they are treated as a liability because the company might need to deliver shares or cash later. This matters to investors because it affects the company’s reported financial health and the potential dilution of existing shares.

Safe Harbor Financial Reports First Quarter 2026 Results and Provides Corporate Update

 

First Quarter 2026 Revenue of Approximately $2.0 Million, Up 2.2% Year Over Year

 

Loan Program Income Up 55.6% Year Over Year to Approximately $0.8 Million

 

Total Operating Expenses Down 4.7% Year Over Year

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents of $5.9 Million and Stockholders’ Equity of $6.7 Million as of March 31, 2026

 

DENVER, CO (May 18, 2026): SHF Holdings, Inc., d/b/a Safe Harbor Financial (“Safe Harbor” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SHFS), a leading fintech platform serving the banking, lending, and financial services needs of the regulated cannabis and hemp industries, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

 

“Our first quarter results reflect meaningful progress across the core drivers of our business. Loan program income grew more than 55% year over year, validating the economics of our restructured PCCU agreement, and total revenue was ahead of the prior year period,” said Terrance Mendez, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Safe Harbor. Operating expenses came down year over year, and we ended the quarter with $5.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $6.7 million in stockholders’ equity, compared to a stockholders’ deficit of ($16.9) million just twelve months ago. This represents a fundamental transformation of our balance sheet, and it gives us a durable foundation on which to execute.”

 

Mr. Mendez continued, “the operational progress we made during and after the quarter reinforces the breadth of what Safe Harbor is building. We expanded into insurance and retirement solutions, broadened our payments portfolio, and launched a full-spectrum lending platform spanning everything from commercial real estate, working capital, equipment financing, revenue-based lending, accounts receivable financing, bridge financing, sale-leaseback transactions, business acquisition financing, and loan syndications.

 

On the regulatory front, Mr. Mendez added, “the Department of Justice’s April 23 order placing state-licensed medical cannabis on Schedule III and the expedited DEA hearing scheduled for June 29-July 15 on rescheduling adult use cannabis represent the most consequential federal cannabis policy developments in more than half a century. While the timing and ultimate scope of further federal action remains uncertain, we believe the direction is clear and we believe Safe Harbor is uniquely positioned to benefit. As Section 280E relief reaches state-licensed medical operators and as additional financial institutions evaluate whether to enter the cannabis banking market, we expect the addressable market for our compliance platform to expand in two ways: directly, through healthier and better-capitalized cannabis customers, and indirectly, through new financial institution partners that need the regulatory infrastructure we have spent more than a decade building.”

 

“We enter the remainder of 2026 with a stronger balance sheet, a broader platform and a more favorable regulatory backdrop than at any point in our history,” Mr. Mendez concluded. “We have facilitated more than $35 billion in cannabis-related transactions across 41 states and territories and have successfully navigated more than 25 state and federal regulatory examinations Our ambition is to be the financial platform that cannabis and hemp operators reach for first, and the compliance backbone that financial institutions entering this market rely on. The remainder of 2026 is about disciplined execution against that ambition, and the foundation we now have in place gives us a clear path to pursue it.”

 

Q1 2026 Operational Highlights

 

Cannabis Insurance Solutions (January 2026): Expanded client offerings through partnerships with Frontier Risk and AlphaRoot, providing access to tailored property, liability, workers compensation and risk management products via the Safe Harbor Advantage Partner Network.
Payments Portfolio Expansion (January 2026): Added Lüt and GreenCard to the payments lineup, introducing closed-loop, ACH-debit and end-to-end payment infrastructure and extending coverage across every major cannabis payment method.
Second Amended PCCU Agreement (February 2026): Extended the PCCU partnership through December 2031, increasing Safe Harbor’s share of loan interest income to up to 65% (from approximately 37%), generating an expected $9 million or more in incremental revenue over the term, reducing asset hosting fees by approximately 23% annually and including a retroactive payment of approximately $400,000.
 Emerging Market Deposit Growth (March 2026): Average deposit balances in emerging US markets grew 29% year over year, adding more than 100 new customer depository accounts and bringing emerging markets to 31% of the Company’s total average deposit balances.

 

 

 

 

Subsequent Operational Highlights

 

Safe Harbor Retirement Plan Launch (April 2026): Leveraging our history of providing fully transparent, cannabis friendly and compliant banking solutions, we introduced a purpose-built fully transparent and compliant pooled employer 401(k) plan that provides state-legal cannabis businesses with access to stable, retirement benefits and extends the Safe Harbor platform into the employee financial lifecycle.
Federal Cannabis Rescheduling (April 2026): Following the Acting Attorney General’s order moving qualifying state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III, Safe Harbor identified meaningful potential benefits to its business, including improved operator cash flow from the elimination of Section 280E tax obligations which may drive stronger deposit quality, reduce account churn and expand total addressable market as more financial institutions explore cannabis banking.
Expanded Lending Platform (April 2026): Broadened financing capabilities for cannabis-related businesses nationwide to include commercial real estate loans, working capital and term loans, equipment financing, revenue-based lending, accounts receivable financing, bridge financing, sale-leaseback transactions, business acquisition financing and loan syndications, supported by a network of private credit funds, family offices and institutional partners.

Total Revenue  $1,975,439   $1,932,352 
Total Operating Expenses  $3,738,795   $3,923,847 
Operating Loss  $(1,763,356)  $(1,991,495)
Net Loss  $(1,779,217)  $(827,199)

 

Revenue was approximately $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, a 2.2% increase compared to approximately $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Loan program income was approximately $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 55.6% compared to approximately $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. The growth reflects the benefit of the Second Amended Commercial Alliance Agreement with PCCU, effective October 1, 2025, which increased the Company’s share of loan program income to 65% from approximately 37% under the prior agreement.
Account fee income was approximately $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of 19.0% compared to approximately $1.1 million the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase in the popularity of our money market account offering and lower fees earned on merchant service partners.
  Investment income was $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.05 million, or 17.8%. The net average daily investable deposit base grew to $45.0 million from $34.5 million between those periods, offset by a decline in the interest on reserve balance (IORB) rate from 4.40% to 3.65%.

 

 

 

 

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 decreased by 4.7% to approximately $3.7 million, compared to $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in operating expenses is attributable to a broad array of cost-cutting measures, driven primarily by lower professional service fees, lower compensation rates, lower non-cash stock-based compensation costs, and a credit benefit of $0.3 million as risk ratings improved on certain loans. Offsetting these were increases in operating expenses attributable to what we believe will be one-time increases in professional fees tied to incremental audit and marketing services, legal costs related to shareholder litigation and various SEC filings, and enhanced investments made in marketing, people and systems in line with our business strategy. In addition, we approved targeted increases in employee compensation, issued performance-based bonuses, and continue to accrue for executive deferred compensation.
Net loss was approximately ($1.8) million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of approximately ($0.8) million for the first quarter of 2025. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company recognized a non-cash benefit of $1.1 million related to the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, compared to a non-cash change in the fair value warrant of liabilities of $0.02 million for the first quarter of 2026.

How has SHF Holdings’ balance sheet changed compared to last year?

As of March 31, 2026, SHF Holdings reported $5.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $6.7 million in stockholders’ equity. Management noted this compares with a stockholders’ deficit of ($16.9) million twelve months earlier, indicating a significant strengthening of the capital base.

What are the key terms of SHF Holdings’ Second Amended PCCU Agreement?

The February 2026 Second Amended PCCU Agreement extends the partnership through December 2031 and can increase Safe Harbor’s share of loan interest income to up to 65% from about 37%, includes a retroactive payment of roughly $400,000, and is expected to generate $9 million or more in incremental revenue over its term.

How is SHF Holdings expanding its products and markets in 2026?

In early 2026, SHF Holdings launched cannabis-focused insurance solutions, expanded its payments portfolio with providers like Lüt and GreenCard, and rolled out a broad lending platform. Emerging U.S. markets posted 29% year-over-year average deposit growth and more than 100 new depository accounts.

How might U.S. cannabis rescheduling affect SHF Holdings’ business?
