NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xcel Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ:XELB) ("Xcel" or the "Company"), a brand development and media company, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2015.
"We are pleased to report impressive top-line growth driven by strong performance across our core brands and continued progress in international expansion," said Robert W. D'Loren, Xcel's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. He further stated, "During the third quarter we successfully uplisted to the NASDAQ Global Market, completed a public offering raising $16.1 million of equity, completed the acquisition of the C. Wonder brand and entered into a strategic design and license agreement with Hudson's Bay Company (HBC). We are excited for our collaboration with HBC, which will include developing lines for four of our brands under a fast fashion supply chain planned to launch in 2016 at HBC stores including Lord & Taylor in the United States and The Bay in Canada. Additionally in September, we launched the H by Halston brand on QVC. Thus far the products and results have exceeded our expectations. The success of this launch and our third quarter achievements provide strong evidence of the strength of our business model, our ability to successfully expand our business by investing in design, marketing, and media related to our brands, and our commitment to increasing value for our shareholders."
Third Quarter 2015
Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 (the "Current Quarter") increased to $7.3 million from $5.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 (the "Prior Year Quarter"). The Current Quarter total revenue growth was primarily driven by increases in net licensing revenues.
Net income was $0.03 and $0.07 million for the Current Quarter and the Prior Year Quarter, respectively. Non-GAAP net income for the Current Quarter was $1.4 million, or non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.08 based on approximately 18.3 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.4 million, or non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.11 based on approximately 13 million weighted average shares outstanding, for the Prior Year Quarter. Non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes a loss from discontinued operations of $0.00 and $0.01 for the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA was $2.2 million for both the Current Quarter and the Prior Year Quarter. Although the Current Quarter total revenue increased over 35% from the Prior Year Quarter, Adjusted EBITDA was flat due to the timing of expenses and revenue recognition related to our new businesses.
|
Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (the "Current Nine Months") increased approximately $5.2 million to $20.2 million from $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (the "Prior Year Nine Months"). Total revenue growth for the Current Nine Months was primarily driven by increases in net licensing revenues.
Net income was $1.8 million compared to net loss of $0.5 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income for the Current Nine Months was $4.2 million, or non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.26 based on approximately 16.5 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.2 million, or non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.36 based on approximately 11.5 million weighted average shares outstanding, for the Prior Year Nine Months. Non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes a loss from discontinued operations of $0.02 and $0.04 for the Current Nine Months and Prior Year Nine Months, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA for the Current Nine Months increased to $6.3 million compared to $5.7 million for the Prior Year Nine Months.
See reconciliation tables below for non-GAAP metrics. These non-GAAP metrics may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies and should only be used in conjunction with our results reported according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Any financial measure other than those prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS are non-GAAP unaudited terms. We define non-GAAP net income as net income (loss), exclusive of stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense from discounted debt related to acquired assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on reduction of contingent obligations, other non-cash adjustments and loss from discontinued operations, net. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS does not include the tax effect of the reconciling items.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP unaudited term, which we define as net income (loss), exclusive of stock-based compensation, interest and finance expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on reduction of contingent obligations, other non-cash adjustments, loss from discontinued operations, net, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and other state and local franchise taxes.
Management uses non-GAAP net income and Adjusted EBITDA (along with non-GAAP diluted EPS) 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 the Company's results of operations. These financial performance measurements are also useful because they provide supplemental information to assist investors in evaluating the Company's financial results. They should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) per share or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Given that non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures not deemed to be in accordance with U.S. 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 non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS or Adjusted EBITDA in a different manner than we calculate these measures. 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 presentation. 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 U.S. GAAP results, and not rely on any single financial measure. |
