Austin, TX, Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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, 2025.
“Our third quarter results reflect our legacy wholesale business and not our significantly growing collegiate business. We have seen the wholesale revenues bottom out and are experiencing higher bookings for our Spring 2026 wholesale orders versus the same period last year. We expect this trend to continue throughout 2026 based on both high sell through rates of current product and our largest national account is doubling the number of stores from 50 to 100 for Sundry”.
“While this is exciting and a positive trend, it is overshadowed by the significant revenue growth we ae experiencing in our AVO collegiate brand. And this growth is only with one university as of now, which we expect to meaningfully increase over the next few months. We believe that we are both the quality and value leader in collegiate apparel space, and this is why we are experiencing this growth.”
“The global licensed sports merchandise market was estimated at $36.4 billion in 2024, and is projected to increase to $49.0 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. This is a significant growth opportunity for our shareholders as we add additional universities and expand our product offering and our influencer and sorority marketing programs,” said Hil Davis, CEO of Digital Brands Group.
The Company plans to provide more information on the AVO Collegiate program and its market opportunity as part of its State of the Union call in early January. The State of the Union call will outline the Company’s strategic and growth plans for 2026, especially in the collegiate channel.
Results for the Third Quarter
Net revenues were $1.7 million compared to $2.4 million a year ago
The majority of the decline in revenue is associated with softer wholesale revenue
We have experienced higher wholesale bookings, which closed at the end of October, for the Spring of 2026 versus Spring 2025 due to a change in the head designer
Gross profit margins were 42.7% compared to 46.0% a year ago
The biggest factor in the decline is the fixed costs associated with gross margins including warehouse rent and labor expenses, pattern makers and sewers expenses and some design members expenses
Gross profit was $0.7 million compared to $1.1 million a year ago
G&A expenses decreased $0.2 million to $2.2 million compared to $2.4 million a year ago
G&A included $0.8 million in non-cash expenses
G&A increased as we ramp AVO Collegiate due to its significant month over month revenue increase in the third quarter, which just included one university
Sales & Marketing expenses were $1.6 million compared to $0.7 million a year ago
The majority of the sales and marketing expense were associated with ramping the collegiate side as we have seen significant month over month revenue growth in the collegiate side, as well as demand from additional universities
Net loss was $3.5 million compared to a net loss of $3.5 million a year ago,
Net loss per diluted share was $1.18 per diluted share compared to a net loss per diluted share of $81.53 a year ago
