ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT HOLDING CORP Q3 FY26 Results

Our third quarter results reflect continued strength across our core categories and the operating leverage inherent in our model. We delivered over 21% revenue growth in the quarter and strong year-to-date earnings expansion, demonstrating that our platform is scaling and that improvements in product mix and cost structure are translating into durable profitability. We are also seeing continued validation of the broader shift toward physical media as a collectible category, where ownership, scarcity, and premium formats are driving collector purchasing behavior. This trend is increasingly supported by collector-driven discovery and community engagement across social media platforms, particularly among younger consumers who are prioritizing intentional listening, tangible ownership, and long-term value. Our exclusive partnerships and curated assortment position us at the center of that trend, while our direct-to-consumer and platform initiatives are enabling us to capture more value across the lifecycle of each product. During the quarter, we advanced the next phase of our strategy with the launch of Alliance Authentic™, extending our platform into authenticated collectibles. Importantly, this represents the first commercial application of Endstate Authentic, our NFC-enabled authentication platform, and extends our role beyond distribution into ownership, provenance, and the full lifecycle of collectible products. Subsequent to quarter end, we further expanded our platform strategy with the relaunch of Movies Unlimited as a curated, collector-focused destination designed to deepen engagement and increase customer lifetime value. Together, these initiatives build on our existing scale to enhance product value, strengthen customer relationships, and create additional long-term growth opportunities.

We delivered strong financial performance in the third quarter, with revenue up 21% and net income increasing 25% year-over-year. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, net income increased 78% to $16.6 million, and Adjusted EBITDA increased 47% to $35.7 million, highlighting the growing earnings power and scalability of our platform. We are seeing clear operating leverage across the business, with operating expenses declining as a percentage of revenue even as we continue to invest in infrastructure, technology, and growth initiatives. At the same time, we maintained a strong liquidity position, ending the quarter with approximately $60 million in working capital and $56 million of availability under our revolving credit facility. With a more efficient cost structure and continued momentum in higher-value categories, we believe we are well positioned to sustain both revenue growth and meaningful earnings expansion.
