Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Consolidated Financial Statements
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Harte Hanks, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Harte Hanks, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
As described in Note C to the financial statements, the Company generates revenue by offering a variety of services discrete to each of its reportable segments. Revenue recognition requires management to apply judgment in identifying performance obligations and determining the timing and amount of revenue recognized under customer contracts. Given the diversity of services offered and the judgment required to apply the relevant accounting guidance, we identified revenue recognition as a critical audit matter.
Obtaining an understanding of the Company’s accounting policies and processes for revenue recognition across its segments required significant auditor effort. We also applied subjective auditor judgment when determining the nature and extent of our audit procedures and evaluating the overall sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained.
Addressing this critical audit matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures include, among others: i) obtaining, reading and assessing management’s accounting policy memorandums, ii) testing a sample of revenue transactions to customer contracts, third-party source documents and other documentation, as applicable, to support the amount and timing of revenue recognized and iii) for customer contracts obtained, we evaluated the completeness and accuracy of performance obligations identified by management.
