AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Brands Group, Inc. ("DBG") (NASDAQ: DBGI), a curated collection of luxury lifestyle, digital-first brands, today announces its initial 2022 revenue guidance of $37.5 million to $42.5 million, an increase of 350% from 2021 revenue expectations.  Additionally, the Company forecasts positive EBITDA for 2022, as it leverages its shared services platform

"Our 2022 revenue guidance reflects the power of our brand portfolio, especially as we are able to benefit from the full year revenue contribution from our acquisitions in 2022," said Hil Davis, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Brands Group.

"This forecasted increase of 350% in our year over revenue growth does not reflect any potential additional acquisitions, nor does it reflect any meaningful benefit from our expected increase in marketing spend." 

"Additionally, we expect to achieve cash flow EBITDA in 2022 due to the leverage we are experiencing from our shared services platform. We are excited about the cost savings we are experiencing from this shared services platform, especially as it relates to revenue generating marketing initiatives."

Our forecasted increase in 2022 revenues is driven by the following factors:

  • For DSTLD:
    • The addition of wholesale revenue with limited key accounts for brand awareness;
    • A meaningful increase in digital marketing advertising, which was minimal in 2021;
    • A full year of selling on Amazon;
    • A full inventory stock for the entire year;
    • And new product expansion driven by our recently hired women's designer
  • For Bailey 44:
    • A full year of wholesale revenue versus six months in 2021;
    • A meaningful increase in digital marketing advertising, which was minimal in 2021;
    • And a full inventory stock for the entire year.
  • For Harper & Jones:
    • A full year of revenue contribution versus approximately seven months in 2021;
    • New showroom openings;
    • The full year benefit of new clothiers who started in the second half of 2021;
    • And a meaningfully larger ready to wear offering versus 2021.
  • For Stateside:
    • A full year of revenue contribution versus four months in 2021;
    • New product categories in women's knits and woven tops;
    • A meaningful increase in digital marketing advertising, which was minimal in 2021. 

Finally, as we discussed in our S-1, we expect to continue to grow through acquisitions and expect to continue to acquire companies this year, most of which will require GAAP PCAOB audits. These audits take time, which results in a delayed acquisition timeframe weighted toward the back three to four months of 2021.

About Digital Brands Group
We offer a wide variety of apparel through numerous brands on a both direct-to-consumer and wholesale basis. We have created a business model derived from our founding as a digitally native-first vertical brand. Digital native first brands are brands founded as e-commerce driven businesses, where online sales constitute a meaningful percentage of net sales, although they often subsequently also expand into wholesale or direct retail channels., Unlike typical e-commerce brands, as a digitally native vertical brand we control our own distribution, sourcing products directly from our third-party manufacturers and selling directly to the end consumer. We focus on owning the customer's "closet share" by leveraging their data and purchase history to create personalized targeted content and looks for that specific customer cohort. We have strategically expanded into an omnichannel brand offering these styles and content not only on-line but at selected wholesale and retail storefronts. We believe this approach allows us opportunities to successfully drive Lifetime Value ("LTV") while increasing new customer growth.
