Perfect Forecasts 10% Revenue Growth In FY26
Perfect Corp, a company offering AI- and AR- powered solutions for beauty, skincare, and fashion markets, reported a 14% increase in fourth-quarter (Q4) revenue at $18.1 million last month. The company said its revenue was driven by strong growth in mobile app and web subscription services.
However, net income fell sharply to $0.1 million from $1.1 million, mainly due to a $2 million goodwill impairment tied to the Wannaby acquisition and lower interest income. The company expects full-year 2026 revenue to grow around 10%.
