AR/AI software company for the beauty and fashion industries Perfect Corp. announced 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, the company said. 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 company had 151 key customers 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 customer contracts by certain brand clients due to financial pressure among other factors, the company said. 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.
