Alliance Entertainment Fiscal Year Movie Disc Revenue Increased 22% to $339 Million

Alliance Entertainment Sept. 10 reported fiscal year (ended June 30) packaged media revenue of $339 million, up 22% from $278 million from the previous-year period.

The Florida-based physical media and collectibles distributor reported an 8% increase in full-year revenue to $1.15 billion, compared with $1.06 billion in fiscal 2025. Net income dropped 13% to $13 million from $15 million.

“The market for physical entertainment continues to evolve toward premium formats, collectible products and more specialized distribution, and those changes are playing directly to the capabilities we have built over more than three decades,” said CEO Jeff Walker. “Our expanding relationships with major content owners, including Paramount and Amazon MGM Studios, reinforce the value of our scale, infrastructure, and ability to manage increasingly complex physical entertainment programs across wholesale, retail, and e-commerce channels.

Vinyl revenue increased 13% to $383 million from $339 million, while CD revenue increased 25% to $156 million from $124.8 million. Growth across both formats reflects sustained consumer demand for physical ownership, premium editions and collectible-oriented releases, reinforcing the durability of physical music as an important part of Alliance’s portfolio.

Collectibles revenue increased 45% to $32 million from $22 million, supported by higher average selling prices, expanded licensed merchandise offerings and continued development of proprietary products. The company is leveraging its existing entertainment relationships and distribution infrastructure to broaden its participation in premium fan and collector categories, including through its owned Handmade by Robots brand.

Distribution and fulfillment fee revenue increased 26% to $18.6 million from $14.8 million as Alliance continued to expand its role as an omnichannel logistics and fulfillment partner. During fiscal 2026, the company ordered 5,000 additional totes for its AutoStore system, increasing capacity to 57,000 totes and supporting higher throughput while maintaining fulfillment labor efficiency.

Following the acquisition and integration of Endstate, Alliance continued developing NFC-enabled authentication and digital product identity capabilities through Endstate Authentic and Alliance Authentic.

These initiatives are designed to extend the company’s participation beyond initial product distribution into areas such as authenticated ownership, provenance, brand protection and resale, creating additional long-term opportunities across premium physical products and collectibles.
