Digital Brands Group, Inc. provided a comprehensive shareholder update on December 16, 2024, detailing significant improvements in its financial condition and outlining future growth initiatives. Since May 2024, the company has eliminated $5.2 million in convertible notes, other debt, and aged accounts payable.
This debt reduction is projected to decrease annual interest expense by approximately $2.7 million in fiscal year 2025, from an estimated $3.1 million in 2024 to $420,000. This is expected to result in a net benefit of $2.7 million to net income and cash flow for fiscal year 2025.
The company also reported a reduction in general and administrative expenses by approximately $500,000 in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2024. Further savings are targeted through workforce reductions and lower consulting fees.
In October 2024, Sundry wholesale prices were increased by 20%, which is expected to add over $500,000 annually to gross margins in fiscal year 2025. The VAYNERCOMMERCE partnership, initiated in November 2024, has already led to a 224% increase in daily digital revenues during the 45-day period from October 22 to December 5, 2024.
A partnership with LTK, a large influencer platform, resulted in sold-out featured products and over 200 influencer requests per brand. Looking ahead, the company plans to launch its AVO brand on TikTok Shop and TikTok Live in January 2025, followed by Sundry online-only exclusives in February 2025 and Sundry on TikTok Shop and Live in March 2025.
These initiatives, coupled with plans for major influencer partnerships in Spring/Summer 2025 and a direct mail program in Summer/Fall 2025, underscore the company's aggressive pivot to growth. CEO Hil Davis stated that with financial overhangs behind them, the focus is now on improving performance through marketing initiatives.
