- Total revenue was $16.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $14.5 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 10.8%. The increase was primarily due to growth momentum in the revenue of AI- and AR- cloud solutions and mobile app subscriptions.

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
Revenue
Total revenue was $16.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $14.5 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 10.8%.
- AI- and AR- cloud solutions and subscription revenue was $13.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $11.4 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 17.9%. The double digit growth was driven by robust demand for the Company’s online virtual product try-on solutions from brand customers, the healthy momentum in the growth of YouCam mobile beauty app subscriptions, and the consumer preference for Generative AI technologies and AI editing features for photos and videos. The Company’s YouCam mobile beauty app active subscribers grew by 17.0% year-over-year, once again reaching a record high of over 977,000 active subscribers as of the end of the third quarter of 2024. This increase reflected the sustained demand in the Company’s YouCam mobile beauty app services from subscribers and users.
- Licensing revenue was $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.8 million in the same period of 2023, a decrease of 14.5%. The Company anticipates that this legacy non-recurring revenue will diminish in significance as it continues to prioritize enhancing its market leadership in offering AI- and AR-based SaaS subscription solutions for brands and customers.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared with $11.8 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 9.6%. Despite the increase in gross profit, our gross margin slightly decreased to 80.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from 81.2% 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 $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared with $12.7 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 3.0%. The increase was primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses and research and development ("R&D") expenses, while mainly offset by declines in general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2024.
- Sales and marketing expenses were $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $6.4 million during the same period of 2023, an increase of 10.0%. This increase was largely due to an increase in marketing events and advertising costs related to our mobile apps and cloud computing.
- Research and development expenses were $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3.0 million during the same period of 2023, an increase of 5.9%. The increase primarily resulted from the increase in R&D headcount as we further lean into the development of Generative AI technologies.
- General and administrative expenses were $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3.2 million during the same period of 2023, a decrease of 32.9%. The decrease was primarily due to enhanced operational efficiencies in the third quarter of 2024.
Net Income
Net income was $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a $3.5 million during the same period of 2023. The positive net income in the third quarter of 2024 was supported by continued revenue growth and effective cost control.
Adjusted Net Income (Non-IFRS)
Adjusted net income was $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.7 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 20.6%.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2024, the Company held $127.2 million in cash and cash equivalents (or $163.2 million when including 6-month time deposits of $36.0 million, which are classified as current financial assets at amortized cost under IFRS), compared to $120.8 million as of June 30, 2024 (or $158.8 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 $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to positive $4.0 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, the Company anticipates a year-over-year total revenue growth rate of 12% to 14% for 2024, 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.

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to Perfect. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “target,” “seek” or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including strategies or plans, are also forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on Perfect’s reasonable expectations and beliefs concerning future events and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. These factors are difficult to predict accurately and may be beyond Perfect’s control. Forward-looking statements in this communication or elsewhere speak only as of the date made. New uncertainties and risks arise from time to time, and it is impossible for Perfect to predict these events or how they may affect Perfect. In addition, risks and uncertainties are described in Perfect’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings may identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Perfect cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this communication will prove to be accurate. There may be additional risks that Perfect presently does not know or that Perfect currently does not believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by Perfect, its directors, officers or employees or any other person that Perfect will achieve its objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. Except as required by applicable law, Perfect does not have any duty to, and does not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this communication or elsewhere after the date of this communication. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the views of Perfect as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication.
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.
_________________
1 Adjusted net income (loss) is a non-IFRS financial measure. See the “Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section of this communication for the definition of such non-IFRS measure.
2 “Key Customers” refers to the Company’s brand customers who contributed revenue of more than $50,000 in the trailing 12 months ended on the measurement date.
3 The one-off transaction cost in the first quarter of 2023 included professional services expenditures that the Company incurred in connection with the de-SPAC transaction. No such cost incurred in the same period of 2024.
