Insights

Perfect Corp.'s financial results for the second quarter of 2024 show a positive trend with significant growth in revenue, net income and active subscribers. Revenue increased by 9.6% to $13.9M, driven mainly by AI and AR cloud solutions and mobile app subscriptions. Despite the slight dip in gross margin from 80.6% to 79.3%, the company still posted a notable improvement in net income, switching from a net loss of $0.2M in Q2 2023 to a net income of $0.8M. This shift demonstrates effective cost management and growing demand for their SaaS solutions.

The slight reduction in operating cash flow from $2.6M to $2.0M could be a concern; however, it is mitigated by the robust cash reserve of $158.8M including time deposits, which signals financial stability and potential for future investments. The positive outlook for the remainder of 2024, with anticipated annual revenue growth between 12%-16%, underlines the company's confidence in sustained market demand.

From a technology standpoint, Perfect Corp.'s Q2 2024 performance underscores the growing importance of AI and AR technologies in the beauty and fashion industries. The company's success in increasing YouCam mobile beauty app subscribers by 18.3% year-over-year demonstrates the high consumer acceptance of AI-powered solutions for virtual try-ons and digital enhancements. The focus on AI- and AR- cloud solutions, which contributed $12.9M to total revenue, highlights the strategic shift away from legacy licensing models towards scalable, recurring SaaS revenue streams.

Moreover, the company's ongoing investment in R&D, reflected in a 7.5% increase in R&D expenses, shows its commitment to advancing these technologies. This investment is important for maintaining a competitive edge and achieving long-term growth, as AI and AR technologies evolve rapidly.

Perfect Corp.'s Q2 2024 results indicate strong market positioning and demand for AI and AR solutions in the beauty and fashion sector. The 9.6% revenue growth and notable increase in active subscribers to the YouCam app paint a positive picture of consumer trends. The slight decrease in the number of key customers from 152 to 151 may raise some questions, but this is outweighed by the overall growth in brand clients and digital SKUs, implying an expanding product portfolio and increasing market penetration.

However, the 50% decline in licensing revenue suggests a deliberate move away from non-recurring revenue streams towards more stable, subscription-based income. This transition aligns with market trends favoring subscription models for their predictability and long-term value. Investors should monitor whether the company can sustain its growth trajectory and effectively manage operational costs to maintain profitability.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Perfect Corp. (NYSE: PERF) (“Perfect” or the “Company”), a global leader in providing artificial intelligence (“AI”) and augmented reality (“AR”) Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) solutions to beauty and fashion industries, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

  • Total revenue was $13.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $12.7 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 9.6%. The increase was primarily due to growth momentum in the revenue of AI- and AR- cloud solutions and mobile app subscriptions.
  • Gross profit was $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $10.2 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 7.8%.
  • Net income was $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million during the same period of 2023.
  • Adjusted net income (non-IFRS)1 was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to adjusted net income (non-IFRS) of $0.9 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 43.8%.
  • Operating cash flow was $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $2.6 million in the same period of 2023, a decrease of 24.6%.
  • The Company had 151 Key Customers2 as of June 30, 2024, compared with 152 Key Customers as of March 31, 2024. The slight decrease in the number of Key Customers primarily resulted from the non-renewal of customers contracts by certain brand clients due to financial pressure among other factors.
  • As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s cumulative customer base included 686 brand clients, with over 774,000 digital stock keeping units (“SKUs”) for makeup, haircare, skincare, eyewear, and jewelry products, compared to 666 brand clients and over 745,000 digital SKUs as of March 31, 2024.
  • The Company’s YouCam mobile beauty app active subscribers grew by 18.3% year-over-year, reaching a record high of over 919,000 active subscribers at the end of the second quarter of 2024.

Ms. Alice H. Chang, the Founder, Chairwoman, and Chief Executive Officer of Perfect, commented, “In the first half of 2024, we achieved robust top-line growth that aligns with our annual targets. This success was driven by growth momentum in our AI- and AR-powered cloud solutions, subscription revenue, and rapid advancements in AI technologies. The management team's dedication not only expanded our business but also improved efficiencies across key financial metrics including net income, net margins, operating income, and positive cash flow, bolstering our strong balance sheet. Our focused efforts on enhancing operational efficiencies have yielded significant results this quarter. Through strategic process improvements and leveraging advanced technologies, we streamlined workflows, reduced operational costs, and boosted productivity. With our proven track record and ongoing AI innovations, we are well positioned to sustain business growth and continue delivering value to customers and shareholders throughout the latter half of 2024 and beyond.”

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

Revenue

Total revenue was $13.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $12.7 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 9.6%.

  • AI- and AR- cloud solutions and subscription revenue was $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $11.0 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 17.4%. The double digit growth was driven by robust demand for the Company’s online virtual product try-on solutions from brand customers, the robust momentum in the growth of YouCam mobile beauty app subscriptions, and the growing popularity of its Gen AI technologies and AI editing features for photos and videos. The Company’s YouCam mobile beauty app active subscribers grew by 18.3% year-over-year, reaching a record high of over 919,000 active subscribers at the end of the second quarter of 2024. This increase reflected the continuous demand in the Company’s YouCam mobile beauty app services from subscribers and users.
  • Licensing revenue was $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.4 million in the same period of 2023, a decrease of 49.8%. The Company expects that such legacy non-recurring revenue will become increasingly insignificant as it continues to focus on strengthening its market leadership in providing AI- and AR- SaaS subscription solutions for brands and customers.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $10.2 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 7.8%. Despite the increase in gross profit, our gross margin slightly decreased to 79.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from 80.6% in the same period of 2023, primarily due to the increase in third-party payment processing fees paid to digital distribution partners such as Google and Apple related to the growth in our mobile app subscription revenue.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $12.3 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 0.7%. The increase was primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses and research and development ("R&D") expenses, which were partially offset by decline in general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2024.

  • Sales and marketing expenses were $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $6.6 million during the same period of 2023, an increase of 7.0%. This increase was largely due to an increase in marketing events and advertising costs for our mobile apps and cloud computing costs.
  • Research and development expenses were $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $2.8 million during the same period of 2023, an increase of 7.5%. The increase primarily resulted from the increase in R&D headcount.
  • General and administrative expenses were $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3.0 million during the same period of 2023, a decrease of 19.1%. The decrease was primarily due to lower corporate insurance expenses and enhanced operational efficiencies in the second quarter of 2024.

Net Income

Net income was $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million during the same period of 2023. The positive net income in the second quarter of 2024 was supported by continued revenue growth and effective cost control.

Adjusted Net Income (Non-IFRS)

Adjusted net income was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to adjusted net income of $0.9 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 43.8%.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2024, the Company held $120.8 million in cash and cash equivalents (or $158.8 million when including 6-month time deposits of $38.0 million, which are classified as current financial assets at amortized cost under IFRS), compared to $122.0 million as of March 31, 2024 (or $157.3 million when including time deposits). The total increase in cash, cash equivalents and 6-month time deposits, resulted from the positive operating cash flow and the interest income received from the Company’s bank deposits.

The Company had a positive operating cash flow of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to positive $2.6 million in the same period of 2023. The Company continues to invest in growth while maintaining healthy cash reserve to support business operations signifying the Company's operational health and sustainability.

Business Outlook for 2024

Based on the growth momentum in both enterprise SaaS solution demands and YouCam mobile apps subscriptions during the first half of 2024, the Company reiterates its expectation that year-over-year growth rate of total revenue in 2024 would range from 12% to 16% compared to 2023.

Note that this forecast is based on the Company’s current assessment of the market and operational conditions, and that these factors are subject to change.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release and accompanying tables contain certain non-IFRS financial measures, including adjusted net income, as supplemental metrics in reviewing and assessing Perfect’s operating performance and formulating its business plan. Perfect defined these non-IFRS financial measures as follows:

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding one-off transaction costs3, non-cash equity-based compensation, and non-cash valuation (gain)/loss of financial liabilities. Starting from the first quarter of 2024, we no longer exclude foreign exchange gain (loss) from adjusted net income (loss). As we transitioned to using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for certain subsidiaries in 2023, our foreign exchange gains (losses), which historically have predominantly been unrealized, have not been material since 2023. For a reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss), see the reconciliation table included elsewhere in this press release.

Non-IFRS financial measures are not defined under IFRS and are not presented in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, which possibly do not reflect all items of expense that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of the non-IFRS financial measures. In addition, the non-IFRS financial measures Perfect uses may differ from the non-IFRS measures used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. The items excluded from our adjusted net income are not driven by core results of operations and render comparison of IFRS financial measures with prior periods less meaningful. We believe adjusted net income provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, such non-IFRS measures are used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting.

In accordance with the changed definition of “adjusted net income (loss)” that is detailed in the “Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section above, we have made a retrospective adjustment to our adjusted net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 not adjusting for “foreign exchange gain (loss)” (which amounted to a loss of $215,000 for the period, as previously disclosed in our Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on July 25, 2023).
