PLANTATION, Fla., Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: AENT), a scaled entertainment commerce and collectibles platform serving content owners, brands, retailers and fans across music, movies, gaming, licensed merchandise and collectibles, with proprietary brands, authentication technology and reach across more than 35,000 retail and e-commerce storefronts, today reported its financial and operational results for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, ended September 30, 2026.

First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Financial Highlights

• Net Revenues: Increased 10% to $278.8 million, compared with $254.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
• Gross Profit and Margin: Gross profit increased 13% to $42.1 million from $37.2 million, while gross margin expanded 50 basis points to 15.1% from 14.6%.
• GAAP Net Income and EPS: Net income increased 56% to $7.6 million, compared with $4.9 million in the prior-year quarter. GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 50% to $0.15 from $0.10.
• Operating Income: Operating income was $10.6 million, compared with $10.5 million in the prior-year quarter.
• Adjusted EBITDA: Increased approximately 1% to $12.3 million, compared with $12.2 million in the prior-year quarter.
• Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS: Adjusted net income was $7.2 million, compared with $7.3 million in the prior-year quarter, while adjusted diluted earnings per share remained unchanged at $0.14.
• Interest Expense: Decreased 49% to $1.2 million from $2.3 million, reflecting lower borrowing costs following the Company's October 2025 refinancing.
• Operating Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities increased 58% to $4.3 million, compared with $2.7 million in the prior-year quarter.
• Liquidity: The Company ended the quarter with approximately $48.9 million of availability under its $120 million revolving credit facility, along with $33.4 million of additional collateral-supported borrowing capacity above the facility's current commitment limit. This excess collateral capacity could support a future expansion of the credit facility, subject to applicable conditions and lender approval.
  

“Fiscal 2027 is off to a strong start, with 10% revenue growth, higher gross margins and significant improvement in GAAP net income and earnings per share,” said Jeff Walker, Chief Executive Officer of Alliance Entertainment. “Physical music, movies and collectibles all grew, with collectibles revenue up 87%. For a long time, so much of the conversation was about streaming replacing physical formats. But what we've seen consistently is that fans who can listen to an album or watch a movie online still want something special they can own and collect. The entertainment industry is increasingly recognizing the value of these highly engaged consumers—the superfans—and the growing demand for physical products that we've been seeing for years.”

“We believe everybody is a superfan of something, and those fans want products that bring them closer to what they love,” Walker continued. “And when you offer a limited edition or an exclusive collectible, that adds another dimension, because now they have a unique product not everybody else has. This is right in our wheelhouse. We have the studio and label relationships, the retail reach and the fulfillment capabilities to get these products into fans’ hands. What’s exciting is that as more content owners look for ways to serve these fans, they need partners who understand both the products and how to bring them to market. That creates a lot of opportunity for Alliance.”

“First-quarter results reflect continued revenue growth and gross margin improvement, along with the benefits of our strengthened financing structure,” said Amanda Gnecco, Chief Financial Officer of Alliance Entertainment. “Gross profit increased approximately 13%, outpacing revenue growth, while interest expense declined nearly 49% following our refinancing with Bank of America. GAAP net income increased 56% to $7.6 million, benefiting from lower borrowing costs and a favorable non-cash change in the fair value of warrant liabilities.”

“We also made progress on our objective of improving cash generation,” Gnecco added. “Operating cash flow increased to $4.3 million from $2.7 million a year ago, despite continued investment in inventory to support customer demand and anticipated sales activity as we enter the holiday season. As we move through fiscal 2027, our priorities remain focused on profitable growth, working-capital efficiency, expense discipline and improving operating leverage. With lower borrowing costs and substantial availability under our revolving credit facility, we believe we have the financial flexibility to support our strategic initiatives while continuing to strengthen the business.”

Strategic & Operating Highlights

• Physical Movie Growth Supported by Major Studio Relationships: Physical movie revenue increased 20% to $101.1 million, compared with $84.0 million in the prior-year quarter. Growth benefited from new releases and expanded retail availability through the Company’s exclusive physical-media distribution relationships with Paramount and Amazon MGM Studios.
• Vinyl and CDs Delivered Double-Digit Growth: Vinyl revenue increased 14% to $86.7 million from $75.8 million, while CD revenue increased 22% to $41.2 million from $33.9 million. New releases, reissues and collectible editions supported physical music demand, with both formats benefiting from higher unit sales and average selling prices.
• Collectibles Revenue Increased 87%: Collectibles revenue increased to $11.9 million from $6.4 million, supported by expanded licensed merchandise offerings, broader sourcing initiatives and vendor relationships, and the Company’s owned Handmade by Robots™ brand. Collectibles represented 4.3% of quarterly revenue, compared with 2.5% in the prior-year period.
• Distribution and Fulfillment Revenue Increased 18%: Distribution and fulfillment fee revenue increased to $5.7 million from $4.8 million, reflecting higher demand for the Company’s distribution, fulfillment and value-added logistics services.
• Authentication and Digital Product Identity Development Continued: Alliance continued developing NFC-enabled authentication and digital product identity capabilities through Endstate Authentic and Alliance Authentic™. These initiatives are designed to support product verification, provenance, preservation and authenticated resale across premium physical entertainment and collectibles.
• Technology and Automation Initiatives Focused on Productivity: Alliance continued investing in warehouse automation and expanding its use of artificial intelligence to streamline workflows and improve financial and operational processes. These efforts are intended to reduce manual work and support more efficient operations as the business grows.

First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Financial Review

Net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 increased $24.9 million, or 10%, to $278.8 million from $254.0 million in the prior-year quarter. Revenue growth was driven primarily by higher sales of physical movies, vinyl records, CDs and collectibles, partially offset by declines in gaming and digital downloads.

Physical movie revenue increased $17.1 million, or 20%, to $101.1 million, supported by higher unit volumes and the Company's expanding relationships with major studios. Vinyl revenue increased $10.9 million, or 14%, to $86.7 million, while CD revenue increased $7.3 million, or 22%, to $41.2 million. Collectibles revenue increased $5.5 million, or 87%, to $11.9 million, reflecting continued expansion in licensed merchandise and proprietary products. These increases were partially offset by an $18.4 million decline in gaming revenue, primarily reflecting lower product availability and the absence of certain prior-year sales associated with the Nintendo Switch 2 launch.

Gross profit increased $5.0 million, or approximately 13%, to $42.1 million from $37.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Gross margin improved 50 basis points to 15.1% from 14.6%, reflecting stronger product margins and favorable contributions from the Company's evolving product mix.

Total operating expenses increased to $31.5 million from $26.6 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting higher selling, general and administrative expenses and distribution and fulfillment costs. Distribution and fulfillment expenses increased to $12.0 million from $9.9 million, driven primarily by higher warehouse payroll and operating costs associated with increased business activity, specialized product handling and fulfillment requirements. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $17.9 million from $15.1 million, reflecting higher employee-related expenses, professional-service costs and investments supporting the Company's strategic initiatives.

Operating income was $10.6 million, compared with $10.5 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase in gross profit was substantially offset by higher operating expenses as the Company continued supporting revenue growth and investing in its operational capabilities.

Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 49%, to $1.2 million from $2.3 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease primarily reflected a reduction in the Company's average effective interest rate to 5.3% from 8.4% following the October 2025 refinancing of its revolving credit facility with Bank of America. Lower borrowing costs more than offset the impact of higher average borrowings during the quarter.

GAAP net income increased $2.7 million, or 56%, to $7.6 million from $4.9 million in the prior-year quarter. GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 50% to $0.15 from $0.10. The year-over-year improvement reflected lower interest expense and a favorable change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, partially offset by higher income tax expense. The Company recorded a non-cash gain of approximately $0.9 million related to warrant remeasurement during the quarter, compared with a non-cash loss of approximately $1.5 million in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA increased approximately 1% to $12.3 million from $12.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted net income was $7.2 million, while adjusted diluted earnings per share remained unchanged at $0.14. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that management does not consider representative of ongoing operating performance, including non-cash warrant remeasurement adjustments.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $4.3 million from $2.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating cash flow benefited from the Company's higher earnings and changes in working capital, including increased accounts payable, partially offset by higher inventory and receivables. Inventory increased to $152.0 million at September 30, 2026, from $126.6 million at June 30, 2026, reflecting investment to support sales growth and anticipated customer demand.

At September 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $70.8 million outstanding under its $120 million revolving credit facility, with approximately $49.2 million of availability. The Company remained in compliance with applicable credit facility covenants. Management continues to prioritize working-capital efficiency, inventory productivity, receivable collections and disciplined capital allocation while supporting growth across physical entertainment, collectibles, fulfillment and authentication technologies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not measurements of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, earnings per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted for non-cash charges related to equity-based compensation programs, acquisition and deal-related costs, changes in the fair value of warrants, insurance claim recoveries, and restructuring costs and net gains and losses on the disposal of assets. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash charges and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, non-cash charges related to equity-based compensation programs, acquisition and deal-related costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, changes in the fair value of warrants and litigation costs and settlements, regulatory assessments and insurance settlements, and the income tax expense effect of these adjustments. We define Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate the Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the same manner. We present the Non-GAAP Financial Measures because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP Financial Measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

The following tables reconcile the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income, for the periods presented:
