Perfect Corp. Reports Unaudited Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026

New York – April 28, 2026 – Perfect Corp. (NYSE: PERF) (“Perfect” or the “Company”), a leading artificial intelligence (“AI”) company offering AI and augmented reality (“AR”) powered solutions to beauty, fashion, photo and video creative industries, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026

•Total revenue was $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $16.0 million in the same period of 2025, an increase of 12.0%. The increase was primarily due to continued revenue growth in our mobile app and web subscriptions, as well as growth in virtual points revenue, which is generated from end users purchasing and consuming virtual points for AI-powered services available on YouCam mobile apps and web services.

•Gross profit was $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $12.5 million in the same period of 2025, an increase of 17.8%.

•Operating income was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to an operating loss of $0.2 million in the same period of 2025, representing an increase of $1.6 million.

•Net income was $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.3 million during the same period of 2025, an increase of 2.6%.

•Operating cash flow was $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $4.3 million in the same period of 2025, a decrease of 1.9%.

Ms. Alice H. Chang, Founder, Chairwoman, and Chief Executive Officer of Perfect Corp., commented, “Perfect Corp. continues to focus on advancing its consumer B2C and enterprise B2B businesses through AI-driven innovation. We are seeing continued demand for Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions and intend to continue to focus toward developing products and services in this area. We remain committed to evolving our technology capabilities and expanding our offerings to address opportunities across both segments.”

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026

Revenue

Total revenue was $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $16.0 million in the same period of 2025, an increase of 12.0%.

•AI- and AR- cloud solutions and subscription revenue was $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $14.1 million in the same period of 2025, an increase of 9.8%. The increase was driven by the continued revenue growth from YouCam mobile app and web subscriptions, supported by growing popularity among consumers for Generative AI technologies and AI editing features for photos and videos.

•Licensing revenue was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.6 million in the same period of 2025, a decrease of 5.4%.The Company anticipates that this legacy non-recurring revenue will become increasingly immaterial as it continues to prioritize enhancing its market leadership in the consumer beauty and AI mobile apps and web subscriptions as well as AI- and AR-based SaaS subscription solutions for brands and customers.

•Others revenue was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.3 million in the same period of 2025, an increase of 179.5%. The increase was driven by the growth of virtual points purchased and consumed by end users. Virtual points are used for AI-powered services available on YouCam mobile apps and web services.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $12.5 million in the same period of 2025, an increase of 17.8%. Gross margin was 81.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, up from 77.9% in the same period of 2025. The increase in gross margin during the quarter was primarily due to the increase in operational efficiency resulting from the ongoing realignment of engineering professionals as we continue to transition from customization of software toward more standardized AI/API solutions for our customer base.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $12.6 million in the same period of 2025, an increase of 4.7%. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of expected credit losses and higher sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2026.

•Sales and marketing expenses were $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $7.4 million during the same period of 2025, an increase of 3.9%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in mobile apps advertising expenses.

•Research and development expenses remained relatively stable at $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3.6 million during the same period of 2025.

•General and administrative expenses remained stable at $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and for the same period of 2025, demonstrating our effective cost control.

•Expected credit losses were $307 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to nil in the same period of 2025. The recognition of expected credit losses was primarily attributable to an unexpected order cancellation by a customer.

Operating Income

Total operating income was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with an operating loss of $0.2 million in the same period of 2025, representing an increase of $1.6 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenue and gross profit, while operating expenses grew modestly.

Net Income

Net income was $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.3 million during the same period of 2025, an increase of 2.6%. The positive net income was supported by our steady revenue growth and effective cost control.

Liquidity and Capital Resource

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $120.6 million (or $176.4 million when including 6-month time deposits of $36.4 million, US Treasuries of $15.2 million, and money market funds of $4.2 million, which are classified as financial assets at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS, respectively), compared to $126.0 million (or $172.4 million when including time deposits and US Treasuries) as of December 31, 2025.

The Company had a positive operating cash flow of $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $4.3 million in the same period of 2025. The Company continues to invest in growth while maintaining a healthy cash reserve to support business operations underscoring the Company’s operational health and sustainability.

Key Business Metrics

•The number of active subscribers for the Company's YouCam mobile apps and web services was 864,000 as of March 31, 2026, compared to over 908,000 as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of 4.8%. This decline was attributable to the increase in the average selling price of mobile app and web service subscription

plans introduced in early 2025, which strategically prioritized higher revenue per user and long-term monetization efficiency over short-term volume growth..

•As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s cumulative customer base included 866 brand clients, with over 989,000 digital stock keeping units (“SKUs”) for makeup, haircare, skincare, shoes, bags, eyewear, watches and jewelry products, compared to 859 brand clients and over 982,000 digital SKUs as of December 31, 2025. The number of Key Customers1 of the Company as of March 31, 2026 was 118 compared to 135 as of December 31, 2025. The decline in the number of Key Customers was primarily due to customers churns in North America.
