Xcel Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: XELB) (“Xcel” or the “Company”), a media
and consumer products company with over $4 billion in retail sales
under its brands and 10,000 hours of livestream programming time,
today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and
fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The Company also announced
that it has finalized licensing and joint venture agreements to
reduce operating costs by over $10 million annualized, while
creating a highly profitable and asset light business model. As a
result, the Company plans to update shareholders via a live
conference call and webcast. Details of the conference call and
webcast will be provided in the coming weeks.
Robert W. D'Loren, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Xcel commented, “We appreciate shareholders patience as
we work on transforming the Company into a modern, asset light and
highly profitable media and consumer products business. Over the
past several months we have pursued best-in-class business partners
that we believe will significantly improve our cost structure and
operations, while providing our customers with exceptional quality
at attractive prices. With these new licensing and JV agreements in
place we have created immediate operating cost savings of over $10
million on an annualized basis. I believe that the significant
investments that we have made in our brands and new technologies
have positioned us well for this change, while allowing us to focus
on driving profitable growth opportunities. The majority of these
savings are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2023. I look
forward to updating shareholders in the coming weeks on our fourth
quarter performance and the meaningful benefits of our new
operating model.”
Strategic Transformation
In the first quarter of 2023, Xcel began to
restructure its business operations by entering into new licensing
agreements and joint venture arrangements with best-in-class
business partners. The Company entered into a new interactive
television licensing agreement with America’s Collectibles Network,
Inc. d/b/a JTV (“JTV”) for the Judith Ripka Brand and another
license with JTV for the Judith Ripka e-commerce business.
Within its apparel business, similar
transactions have recently been executed. In conjunction with the
launch of the C Wonder Brand on HSN, Xcel licensed the wholesale
production operations related to the brand to One Jeanswear Group,
LLC (“OJG”). This new license with OJG also includes other new
celebrity brands that Xcel plans to launch in 2023 and beyond all
for distribution through Interactive TV and Xcel’s livestreaming
and social commerce platform. OJG currently produces all apparel
for Xcel’s LOGO by Lori Goldstein brand.
For its Halston Brand, Xcel plans to enter into
a joint venture related to the brand’s wholesale apparel business
with another leading apparel manufacturer (the “Halston JV”). The
Halston JV will develop an apparel business under the H Halston
brand through department stores, e-commerce, and other retailers.
The Company expects the transition of these operating businesses to
be completed by the second quarter of 2023.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial
Results
Total revenue was $4.1 million, a decrease of
$4.0 million or 50% compared to the prior year quarter, primarily
driven by lower licensing revenue as a result of the sale of the
Isaac Mizrahi brand in the second quarter of 2022, as well as
declines in wholesale apparel sales related to industry-wide
headwinds.
Net loss attributable to Xcel Brands was
approximately $6.0 million, or $(0.30) per basic and diluted share,
compared with a net loss of $6.9 million, or $(0.35) per basic and
diluted share, for the prior year quarter. After adjusting for
certain cash and non-cash items, results on a non-GAAP basis were a
net loss of approximately $6.2 million, or $(0.32) per share for
the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and a net loss of
approximately $4.6 million, or $(0.22) per share, for the quarter
ended December 31, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $5.9 million
for the current quarter and negative $3.5 million for the prior
year quarter.
Full Year 2022 Financial
Results
Total revenue was $25.8 million, a decrease of
$12.1 million or 32% compared with the prior year, driven by lower
licensing revenues of $7.1 million and lower net sales of $5.0
million. The year-over-year decrease in licensing revenue was
primarily attributable to May 2022 sale of the Isaac Mizrahi brand,
partially offset by revenues related to the April 2021 acquisition
of the LOGO by Lori Goldstein brand. The decrease in net product
sales for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily
attributable to lower apparel wholesales, driven by the temporary
closing of overseas factories, causing delays in product deliveries
that resulted in cancelled orders, as well as retailers more
recently pausing or reducing orders due to industry-wide excess
inventory levels.
Net loss attributable to Xcel Brands
shareholders for the current year was approximately $4.0 million,
or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of
$12.2 million, or $(0.63) per basic and diluted share, for the
prior year. After adjusting for certain cash and non-cash items,
results on a non-GAAP basis were a net loss of approximately $15.0
million, or $(0.77) per share for the year ended December 31, 2022,
and a net loss of approximately $6.2 million, or $(0.32) per share,
for the year ended December 31, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was negative
$12.5 million and negative $2.5 million for the current year and
prior year, respectively.
Balance Sheet
The Company's balance sheet at December 31, 2022
reflected stockholders' equity of approximately $70 million, cash
and cash equivalents of approximately $4.6 million, and working
capital, exclusive of the current portion of lease obligations and
contingent obligations payable in stock, of approximately $8.8
million.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS are
non-GAAP unaudited terms. We define non-GAAP net income as net
income (loss) attributable to Xcel Brands, Inc. stockholders,
exclusive of asset impairments, amortization of trademarks, our
proportional share of trademark amortization of equity method
investees, stock-based compensation, loss on early extinguishment
of debt, certain adjustments to the provision for doubtful accounts
related to the bankruptcy of and economic impact on certain retail
customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, gain on sale of assets,
gain on reduction of contingent obligations, and income taxes.
Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS measures do not
include the tax effect of the aforementioned adjusting items, due
to the nature of these items and the Company’s tax strategy.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP unaudited measure,
which we define as net income (loss) attributable to Xcel Brands,
Inc. stockholders before asset impairments, depreciation and
amortization, our proportional share of trademark amortization of
equity method investees, interest and finance expenses (including
loss on early extinguishment of debt, if any), income taxes,
other state and local franchise taxes, stock-based compensation,
certain adjustments to the provision for doubtful accounts related
to the bankruptcy of and economic impact on certain retail
customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, gain on sale of assets, and
gain on reduction of contingent obligation.
Management uses non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP
diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating
performance to assist in comparing performance from period to
period on a consistent basis and to identify business trends
relating to our results of operations. Management believes non-GAAP
net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA are also
useful because these measures adjust for certain costs and other
events that management believes are not representative of our core
business operating results, and thus these non-GAAP measures
provide supplemental information to assist investors in evaluating
our financial results.
Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as
alternatives to net income, earnings per share, or any other
measure of financial performance calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP. Given that non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP
diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures not deemed
to be in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to varying
calculations, our non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and
Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
of other companies, including companies in our industry, because
other companies may calculate these measures in a different manner
than we do. In evaluating non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted
EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we
may or may not incur expenses similar to some of the adjustments in
this document. Our presentation of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP
diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA does not imply that our future
results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or
non-recurring items. When evaluating our performance, you should
consider non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and Adjusted
EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including
our net income and other GAAP results, and not rely on any single
financial measure.
