Sequential Brands Group Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results
Sequential Brands Group (SQBG) reported second-quarter results for 2020, showing total revenue of $22.6 million, down from $26.4 million in the prior year. A GAAP loss from continuing operations was $(2.9) million or $(1.78) per diluted share, improving from $(3.3) million or $(2.03) per diluted share in the same quarter of 2019. The company faced a net loss of $(88.2) million year-to-date, largely due to $85.6 million in impairment charges related to COVID-19 impacts. The company ended the quarter with $16.8 million in cash but anticipates challenges in meeting loan covenants due to ongoing uncertainties.
- Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations improved to $15.1 million, up from $13.3 million the previous year.

- Total revenue declined by 14.4% year-over-year in the second quarter.
- Significant year-to-date net loss of $(88.2) million, including $85.6 million in impairment charges.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sequential Brands Group, Inc. (“Sequential” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:SQBG) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
“Despite the ongoing challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has presented, it has also demonstrated the durability of our business model and the demand for several of our core brands. While there is still much uncertainty in the macro-environment and the apparel and accessories industry, we believe that we’re on the right path forward to position the Company for long-term growth,” said Sequential Brands Group CEO David Conn.

COVID-19 Update:
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the pace at which there are new developments has created significant uncertainty in the current economic environment. The impacts of COVID-19 have adversely affected our near-term and long-term revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows as certain licensees have requested temporary relief or deferred making their scheduled payments. However, the situation is dynamic, and the Company is not currently able to predict the full impact of COVID-19 on its results of operations and cash flows.
Liquidity and Financing Update:
Sequential ended the second quarter with
As of June 30, 2020, the Company was party to the Amended BoA Credit Agreement and the Fourth Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wilmington Trust, National Association as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Amended Wilmington Credit Agreement”), referred to as its loan agreements (“Loan Agreements”). The Loan Agreements contain financial covenants and the Company is in compliance with its financial covenants included in its Loan Agreements as of June 30, 2020. However, due to COVID-19 and our current forecasts, we currently believe we will not be able to satisfy our covenants in our existing financing arrangements for at least twelve months from today’s date. The Company expects that it will need to modify the loan covenants, obtain a waiver of the covenants or a waiver of a default, or otherwise restructure the terms of the Loan Agreements. If the Company fails to comply with its financial covenants, as modified, a default under the Loan Agreements would be triggered and the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreements may be accelerated. The Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives and plans to work with the lenders to amend such financial covenants in the Loan Agreement; however, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful. As previously noted in the Company’s filings, this risk of non-compliance creates a material uncertainty that casts substantial doubt with respect to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. See our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2020 for additional information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release contains historical and projected measures of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations and non-GAAP loss per diluted share from continuing operations. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as loss from continuing operations attributable to Sequential Brands Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries, excluding provision for (benefit from) income taxes, interest income or expense, non-cash compensation, depreciation and amortization, deal advisory costs, debt refinancing costs, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments to equity securities, gain on sale of asset, non-cash impairment of trademarks, net of non-controlling interest, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate swaps, and severance. Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per diluted share from continuing operations are non-GAAP financial measures which represent net loss from continuing operations attributable to Sequential Brands Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries, excluding deal advisory costs, debt refinancing costs, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments to equity securities, gain on sale of asset, non-cash impairment of trademarks, net of non-controlling interest, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate swaps, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes. These non-GAAP metrics are an alternative to the information calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as provided in the reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies and should only be used in conjunction with the Company’s results reported according to GAAP. Any financial measure other than those prepared in accordance with GAAP should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We consider these measures to be useful measures of our ongoing financial performance because they adjust for certain costs and other events that the Company believes are not representative of its core licensing business. See below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP metrics to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

(1) Non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations and non-GAAP loss per diluted share from continuing operations are non-GAAP financial measures which represent net loss from continuing operations attributable to Sequential Brands Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries, excluding deal advisory costs, debt refinancing costs, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on equity securities, gain on sale of asset, non-cash impairment of trademarks, net of non-controlling interest, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate swaps and provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Management uses this information to measure performance over time on a consistent basis and to identify business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of continuing operations. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful measures of ongoing financial performance because they adjust for certain costs and other events that the Company believes are not representative of its core licensing business.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as net loss from continuing operations attributable to Sequential Brands Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries, excluding provision for (benefit from) income taxes, interest income or expense, non-cash compensation, depreciation and amortization, deal advisory costs, debt refinancing costs, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on equity securities, gain on sale of asset, non-cash impairment of trademarks, net of non-controlling interest, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate swaps and severance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as a measure 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 financial condition and results of continuing operations.
(a) Represents deal advisory costs including legal, financial and accounting services that are not representative of the Company's day-to-day licensing business.
(b) Represents expenses for professional fees associated with the Company's refinancing and amending its debt facilities.
(c) Represents the non-cash mark-to-market adjustments to equity securities.
(d) Represents gain on the sale of the Nevados trademark completed in June 2020.
(e) Represents non-cash impairment charges, net of minority interest, related to the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets for certain brands.
(f) Represents the non-cash mark-to-market adjustment on interest rate swaps.
(g) Adjustment to remove GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes.

(h) Represents weighted-average diluted shares the Company reported or would have reported if the Company had GAAP net income in 2020 and 2019.
