During the quarter, Alliance also launched Alliance Authentic™, representing the Company’s first application of these capabilities within its own product ecosystem, initially focused on premium vinyl collectibles.

These initiatives extend Alliance’s role beyond distribution into ownership and participation across the product lifecycle, while creating a scalable foundation for new authentication, collectibles, and platform revenue opportunities.

●Collectibles Growth Driven by Premium Mix: Collectibles revenue increased 48% year-over-year to $8 million, driven by increased average selling prices and a continued shift toward higher-value, premium products. Growth was supported by expanded sourcing efforts and the addition of new vendor relationships, which contributed incremental sales during the quarter. Performance also benefited from the transition of Handmade by Robots™ to an owned brand, as well as improved margins across certain legacy brands following prior inventory optimization initiatives, reflecting continued progress in enhancing product mix and profitability within the collectibles category.

●Growth in Gaming and Electronics: Gaming revenue increased 12% year-over-year to $33 million, supported by continued demand for next-generation consoles, including the Nintendo Switch II, along with related software and accessories. Electronics revenue increased 53% year-over-year to $4.0 million, driven by higher unit volumes and a favorable mix shift toward higher-priced audio playback devices and accessories, including turntables, CD players, headphones, and speakers. Growth in electronics continued to benefit from strong demand for vinyl and physical media, which drives attachment sales of complementary hardware.
