It’s not all doom and gloom in the porn world. Despite the troubles with Age Verification, some companies are still doing quite well.

Aylo Billing Ltd, the Dublin-based financial arm of the global adult entertainment conglomerate behind Pornhub, Brazzers, and other major platforms, reported a substantial increase in revenue for 2020, even as it faces intensifying legal scrutiny in the United States.

According to newly filed financial statements, Aylo Billing nearly doubled pre-tax profits to $10.76 million for the year. Over a three-year period (2018–2020), the company generated a cumulative revenue of $769 million.

The company, based at Baldonnell Business Park in Dublin, is responsible for the resale and management of online memberships for adult content sites, operating primarily through mobile and web-based media platforms. It is one of several Irish entities supporting Aylo’s global operations, which also include Mirmay Ltd, Nutaku Publishing Ltd, and Appatomic Ltd.

The financial disclosures come amid mounting legal pressure in the United States. Aylo Billing Ltd is currently a named defendant in two active class actions:

In Alabama, a putative class action filed in February 2021 alleges that Aylo Billing and affiliates participated in a sex-trafficking venture and distributed child pornography, violating the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. The company has dismissed the claims as “without merit” and vows to defend itself vigorously. However, in December 2023, a court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification, escalating the case.

In California, a separate class action was filed in May 2024 alleging violations of the Video Privacy Protection Act, claiming that Aylo Billing shared user data without consent. The company is also contesting the case and reports it has been indemnified by other group companies.

Despite the severity of these allegations, Aylo Billing reports no need for financial provisions in its accounts and has continued business operations uninterrupted.

The new filings also disclose that Aylo Billing agreed in July 2023 to a $24 million settlement stemming from a 2021 class action in Los Angeles, which accused the company of deceptive and fraudulent billing practices. It also paid $6 million in attorney’s fees and a $25,000 service award to the lead plaintiff.

The company remains financially robust, with accumulated profits of $15.43 million by the end of 2020 and cash reserves nearly doubling from $6.19 million to $11.5 million in the same year.

Aylo Billing Ltd’s immediate parent is based in Cyprus, and its consolidated accounts are filed in Luxembourg under Aylo Holdings SARL. The company is part of the broader Aylo group, which Ethical Capital Partners owns. The group brands itself as a “tech pioneer” with a focus on diversity, inclusion, and online safety.

Aylo’s online platforms, including YouPorn, Brazzers, Digital Playground, Men.com, and Nutaku, are said to operate with “robust trust and safety protocols,” though legal challenges continue to put those claims under scrutiny.
