About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

A Glimpse Into The Fundamentals Of Perfect Corp., The Company That Seems Set To Revolutionize The Beauty And Fashion Industry Through Its Innovative Technology

NEW TAIPEI CITY, TAIWAN / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2023 / This article examines Perfect Corp.'s (NYSE: PERF) most recent financial results and investor presentation highlighting the growing company's operations within the beauty technology sector. A close look at the company's approach to enhancing its B2B and B2C offerings through developments in AI and AR applications provides a valuable overview of its market performance, product innovations and strategic partnerships in the digital beauty frontier.

Double-Digit Revenue Growth And Profitability

In the third quarter of 2023, Perfect Corp. reported total revenue of $14.5 million, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 13.2% and a quarter-over-quarter rise of 14.7%. Specifically, its AI/AR cloud solutions and subscription revenue, which accounts for nearly 80% of total revenue, grew 24.8% year-over-year. Overall, the double-digit growth was driven by increasing demand for its cloud solutions and mobile app subscriptions across the company's business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) sectors.

Another key pillar of Perfect Corp's financial strength lies in its gross margin, which consistently exceeds 80%. This high gross margin may signify the company's ability to efficiently convert its sales into profit. This profit margin could provide cover during challenging market conditions and give Perfect Corp a potentially higher likelihood of survival than others.

The company reported a net income of $3.5 million, with an adjusted net income of $2.7 million, both of which easily surpassed the previous year's $1.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Client And Brand Expansion

Perfect Corp. is establishing itself as a leader in beauty and fashion tech, supported by a vision to transform the world with powerful software innovations. As of September 2023, the company has successfully partnered with 627 brand clients, an increase from 601 in June 2023.

Perfect Corp. also saw an uptick from roughly 655,000 to over 678,000 SKUs over the same period for makeup, skincare, eyewear and jewelry products across its platforms, demonstrating the growth trajectory of its B2B business​​.

At the same time, the B2C segment has not been left behind, with the mobile beauty app seeing a 62.5% year-over-year increase in active subscribers in Q3. This surge is largely attributed to the introduction of multiple GenAI-driven premium features, which have been successful in attracting new installations and converting users into premium subscribers​​.

The metrics above exemplify Perfect Corp's desire to continue expanding its revenue streams in different verticals and adopting top-line growth.

Catalyzing Cross-Segment Synergy

Generative AI (GenAI) represents a frontier of innovation for Perfect Corp. The deployment of its GenAI-driven features has catalyzed a unique synergy between Perfect Corp.'s B2B and B2C business models, potentially expanding Perfect's total addressable market (TAM) through additional product integrations and market applications​​.

With these advancements, Perfect Corp. is committing itself to innovation as it strives to become a market leader in beauty and fashion AR and AI. The company's investor presentation highlighted its mission to revolutionize the shopping experience through AR and AI technologies, addressing consumer pain points and democratizing the shopping experience for both consumers and brands with innovative, easy-to-use digital solutions.

Strong Balance Sheet With Positive Cash Flow?

With its cash and cash equivalents exceeding $201 million as of September 2023, Perfect Corp. has a substantial financial cushion that can be used for various strategic purposes. This reserve could possibly be used as a safety net for troubling times or as a catalyst for future business activities. Moreover, the company has had consistent positive cash flow over several years, which some say reflects the company's ability to generate real, tangible returns.

Is Perfect Corp's Enterprise Value UnderValued?

An intriguing element of Perfect Corp. is its potentially undervalued enterprise value. While most of its SaaS peers are trading at around 8 to 9 times, Perfect Corp.‘s Price-to-Sales (PS) multiple is less than 2 times. According to the company's advocates, this anomaly in the market reflects Perfect Corp's financial foundation and market proposition relative to its current valuation.

Does Perfect Have The Makeup For Success?

Ultimately, Perfect Corp. reflects a company at the forefront of the beauty and fashion tech SaaS industry, poised for further growth and expansion if it can continue to deliver meaningful innovations to its B2B and B2C markets to drive premium conversions and brand client growth. Nevertheless, the company's data-driven advancements in AR and AI, coupled with a strategic hybrid business model, provide an intriguing value proposition worth watching.
