Q4 FY26 earnings call · Sep 10, 2026TL;DR. Alliance Entertainment posted fiscal 2026 revenue up 8% to $1.15B with gross margin expanding 80 bps to 13.3%, driven by broad-based category growth in vinyl (+13% to $383M), CDs (+25% to $156M), physical movies (+22% to $339M), collectibles (+45% to $32M) and fulfillment fees (+26% to $18.6M); however, GAAP operating income and net income declined due to a $7.8M non-cash vendor receivable write-off and higher SG&A, and operating cash flow turned negative as inventory and receivables grew faster than revenue.
