HOWTOROBOT ANNOUNCES RECORD Q1 REVENUE, 94% GROSS MARGINS, AND SURGE IN ENTERPRISE AUTOMATION DEMAND
Progress has been made by Humanoid Global Holdings Corp.'s portfolio company HowToRobot Holding Inc.
HowToRobot, a global platform that helps manufacturers find, finance and deploy robotics and automation, announced record first quarter 2026 results, with strong revenue outperformance, best-in-class gross margins, and growing enterprise and channel demand.
For Q1 2026, HowToRobot has announced that it has generated revenue of $756,100, 16.2 per cent above budget, with February the highest revenue month in HowToRobot's history at $325,100. Gross profit was stated to be $712,400, with gross margin above 94 per cent throughout the quarter, reflecting the scalability of HowToRobot's asset-light platform. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were stated to be $267,100, a $69,300 improvement versus plan.
"Manufacturers know they must automate but face a fragmented, complex market," said Soren Peters, chief executive officer of HowToRobot. "Our platform is becoming the default starting point for companies that want to identify the right automation, deploy it faster and increasingly pay for it on a subscription-like basis. Q1 shows this model working: Revenue is ahead of plan, margins are above 94 per cent, and demand from blue-chip enterprises and partners is building."
Enterprise activity continued to expand, including additional sites under the ZF program in the United States and Mexico, multiple live projects with Nestle and CZ Group, and active enterprise proposals with Arla, Safran, Adient, Finsbury Food Group, Lego, Carlsberg, Goodyear and others. Consultant utilization reached 94.3 per cent in March, up 8.7 percentage points from February, as capacity scaled to meet demand.
HowToRobot has also announced that it is also seeing encouraging traction from Managed Automation, its joint venture with Holman Enterprises that allows manufacturers to acquire robots and automation on monthly terms rather than large upfront purchases. Managed Automation is live on the platform in the United States, with the highest vendor sign-on rate in HowToRobot's history and every sourcing engagement now a potential financing conversion, deepening the Holman partnership.
To anchor its U.S. growth, HowToRobot has constituted a U.S. board chaired by CEO Mr. Peters. The board includes:
-
Andrew C. Weber -- former U.S. assistant secretary of defence for nuclear, chemical and biological defence programs under the Obama administration, bringing decades of senior U.S. government experience and high-level institutional networks;
-
Gernot Leinenbach -- executive vice-president and chief strategy officer at Holman, and former chief financial officer at Microsoft International, contributing deep expertise in global corporate finance, strategy and mobility/transportation ecosystems;
-
Marianne Sogaard -- Danish corporate lawyer and long-time partner at Denmark's leading government adviser law firm, with extensive experience in technology platform acquisition, public procurement and information technology compliance, and current chair of Evaxion Biotech and Altapay.
This governance structure is designed to support HowToRobot's expansion into enterprise and government channels and to strengthen its profile in key markets.
To support its next phase of growth, HowToRobot is pursuing an active fundraising process with institutional and strategic investors, backed by Holman as an existing strategic investor, and has formally constituted a U.S. board chaired by Mr. Peters with members bringing deep experience across government, corporate strategy and technology governance.
"The investment thesis is clear," said Mr. Peters, CEO of HowToRobot. "We operate in a market that must automate. We run a high-margin, scalable platform already serving global manufacturers, and, with Holman, we are adding a financing engine that can accelerate adoption without sacrificing capital discipline."
