Powell speech takes center stage in Tuesday’s economic events
PLANTATION, Fla. - Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:AENT), a profitable entertainment distributor with over $1 billion in annual revenue and a market capitalization of $331 million, shipped more than 330,000 units of Taylor Swift’s new album "The Life of a Showgirl" across vinyl and CD formats following its October 3 release, the company announced Wednesday. According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated strong financial health with $36.5 million in EBITDA over the last twelve months.
Nearly 70% of shipments were delivered directly to consumers, with most processed within a 48-hour window before the street date. The distribution effort spanned consumers, mass merchants, national chains, independent retailers, and specialty accounts nationwide.
"This release was a true test of our end-to-end logistics, and our team delivered flawlessly," said Ken Glaser, SVP of Sales at Alliance Entertainment.
The company implemented enhanced security protocols at its distribution center to prevent leaks and maintain the album’s embargo until the official release date. All shipments were controlled to prevent early arrivals at retailers.
"From the moment product arrived at our facility, we had a plan in place," said Laura Provenzano, SVP of Purchasing. "We coordinated every detail, from secure intake to final shipment."
Alliance utilized its 874,000-square-foot warehouse in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, located within 30 minutes of UPS Worldport, to execute the distribution.
The company serves as a distributor and fulfillment partner to the entertainment and pop culture collectibles industry with over 340,000 unique SKUs in stock, according to the press release statement.
