TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Media OutReach Newswire - 13 February 2026 - Appier Group Inc. (TSE: 4180), hereafter referred to as "Appier," today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and issued guidance for FY26. The company achieved record revenue of JPY 43.7 billion, a 28% YoY increase (JPY 45.0 billion, up 32% YoY on an FX-neutral basis). This stellar performance was fueled by dual growth engines: core E-commerce grew 49% YoY, and Other Internet Services surged 59% YoY, led by the Travel sector. Since FY19, Appier has delivered a sixfold surge in total revenue, a record performance anchored by consistent expansion in incremental revenue.

Profitability surged to a record high, with operating income growing 50% YoY to JPY 3.0 billion, representing a 6.8% operating margin (JPY 3.8 billion with an 8.5% margin on an FX-neutral basis). Gross profit outpaced revenue growth, reaching a historical high of JPY 23.5 billion, up 32% YoY. Gross margin climbed to 53.8% (53.9% FX-neutral), bolstered by increased revenue scale, technological differentiation, and a high-margin product mix. This upward trajectory underscores Appier’s ability to scale customer value while driving operational leverage.

Balanced regional expansion and deepening vertical penetration drive quality growth

In FY25, all key regions delivered strong growth. Northeast Asia (68%) and the U.S. & EMEA (19%) both achieved 36% YoY growth (FX-neutral). NEA was supported by balanced expansion in E-commerce and continued vertical diversification, while the U.S. & EMEA benefited from solid momentum across E-commerce and Other Internet Services. Together, this regional strength and deeper vertical penetration reflect the effective scaling of Agentic AI-first strategy, driving sustained, high-quality, and resilient growth.

Revenue growth remains balanced, with 56% of incremental revenue driven by ROI-led upsells to existing E-commerce customers and 44% fueled by new customers, primarily from Online Travel. By leveraging Agentic AI to secure large enterprise catalysts, Appier delivered 13% YoY growth in both its customer base and FX-neutral ARPC. This strategic focus—coupled with disciplined OPEX—drove operating leverage. Furthermore, the operational productivity surged, driven by a 23% YoY growth in gross profit per headcount.

Entering FY26 with strong profitable momentum

Appier projects revenue growth to reaccelerate in FY26, with organic revenue expected to outpace total growth, driven by our dual-vertical growth engines. Forecasting revenue to reach JPY 54 billion, up 24% YoY and gross profit to hit JPY 29.4 billion, up 25% YoY, with a 54.5% margin. This optimistic outlook is anchored by a Q4 FY25 inflection point, where revenue growth surged to 34%, validating Appier’s strategic focus on key accounts and high-growth verticals. Operating income is projected to rise 45% YoY to JPY 4.3 billion, while EBITDA is expected to grow 37% YoY to JPY 9.4 billion—representing a 17.4% margin fueled by disciplined investment and operational leverage.
