Revenue Growth Driven by Physical Media Resurgence

Revenue increased 21.2% to $258.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $213.0 million in the same period last year. The growth was primarily driven by higher unit sales volume, reflecting continued consumer demand for vinyl records. Volume growth was also supported by strong pre-orders and early purchasing activity ahead of Record Store Day in April 2026, as retailers and consumers prepared for anticipated limited-edition releases. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in average selling price, which primarily reflects changes in product mix and competitive pricing dynamics, reflecting continued demand for entry-level and mid-tier audio playback devices alongside premium accessory offerings.
