Digital Brands Group Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
In October, the Company began generating internal free cash flow
First quarter 2024 wholesale bookings are $4.5 million, which does not include e-commerce revenue, wholesale re-orders and licensing income
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Brands Group, Inc. ("DBG") (NASDAQ: DBGI), a curated collection of luxury lifestyle, digital-first brands, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
"We are pleased to have turned Sundry around. Based on current trends and first quarter wholesale bookings, we are past the brand's bottom set in August. For example, we have tripled Sundry's first quarter 2024 wholesale bookings versus the brand's third quarter 2023 wholesale revenue," said Hil Davis, CEO of Digital Brands Group.
"The increase in our revenue, coupled with the cost synergies, has resulted in meaningful operating leverage and internal free cash flow that started in October. We expect our internal free cash flow to continue going forward."
Results for the Third Quarter
- Net revenues increased 22.5% to $3.3 million compared to $2.7 million a year ago
- This excludes revenue from Harper & Jones as it was spun out in the second quarter
- This represents the lowest point of Sundry's wholesale revenue based on current trends, as well as the brand's first quarter wholesale bookings
- Gross margin increased 77.7% to $1.7 million compared to $1.0 million a year ago
- Gross profit margins increased to 52.3% from 36.0% a year ago
- G&A expenses, including non-cash items, increased 25.3% to $3.7 million compared to $3.0 million a year ago
- G&A expenses, excluding non-cash item expenses, decreased 30.8% to $1.6 million compared to $2.3 million a year ago
- G&A expenses included $2.1M in non-cash expenses associated with D&A, amortization of loan discount, and stock option expense
- Sales & Marketing expenses increased 12.6% to $1.2 million compared to $1.0 million a year ago
- Sales and marketing expenses ratio was 35.3% compared to 38.5% a year ago
- Net operating loss, excluding the non-cash charges was $1.2 million compared to a loss of $2.5 million a year ago
- Net loss per diluted share attributable to common stockholders was $5.4 million, or $14.55 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $4.9 million, or a loss of $223.83 per diluted share, a year ago
- Net loss per diluted share, excluding non-cash expenses, was $2.6 million, or $8.92 per share
"As we stated, the Board is reviewing strategic alternatives given the continued dislocation between Digital Brand Group's public market value and the intrinsic value of the Company's underlying assets and operating performance. We believe the first quarter 2024 wholesale bookings and the monthly internal free cash flow illustrate how significant this dislocation has become. To illustrate this dislocation, we are on a $18 million wholesale revenue run rate for 2024, which does not include any benefit from additional revenue from e-commerce, stores and licensing income," said Hil Davis, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Brands Group.
Conference Call and Webcast Details Updated
Management will host a conference call on Tuesday, November 14 at 5:30 p.m. ET to discuss the results.
