EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Differential Brands Group Inc. and subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Differential”) began operations in 1987 as Innovo, Inc. Since our founding, we have evolved from producing craft and accessory products to designing and selling apparel products bearing the Hudson® and Robert Graham® and as of July 18, 2016, the SWIMS® brand names.  Prior to the Joe’s Asset Sale discussed below, we also designed and sold apparel products bearing the various Joe’s ® brand names.

 

As previously reported, on September 11, 2015, we completed the sale of certain of our operating and intellectual property assets related to the business operated under the brand names “Joe’s Jeans,” “Joe’s,” “Joe’s JD” and “else” (the “Joe’s Business”) to GBG USA Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GBG”), and the sale of certain of our intellectual property assets related to the Joe’s Business to Joe’s Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Joe’s Holdings”), for an aggregate purchase price of $80 million (the “Joe’s Asset Sale”). The proceeds of the Joe’s Asset Sale were used to repay all of our indebtedness outstanding under the term loan credit agreement, dated September 30, 2013 (the “Garrison Term Loan Credit Agreement”), with Garrison Loan Agency Services LLC (“Garrison”) and a portion of our indebtedness outstanding under our revolving credit agreement (the “CIT Revolving Credit Agreement”), dated September 30, 2013, as amended, with CIT Commercial Services, Inc. (“CIT”), a unit of CIT Group. In November 2014, we had received an initial notice of default and event of default and demand for payment of default interest from Garrison under the Garrison Term Loan Credit Agreement, which also triggered a default and event of default under the terms of the CIT Revolving Credit Agreement and our separate factoring facility with CIT. On February 10, 2015, we had received additional notices of default and events of default for failure to comply with certain financial and other covenants and a demand for continued payment of default interest from both Garrison and CIT. As a result of the repayment based on the proceeds of the Joe’s Asset Sale, the Garrison Term Loan Credit Agreement was paid in full and terminated on September 11, 2015, and we entered into the amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the “CIT Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement”), dated September 11, 2015, which provided for a maximum credit availability of $7.5 million and waived certain defaults that remained in effect until the closing of the RG Merger (as defined below).

 

Additionally, as previously reported, on January 28, 2016, we completed the acquisition (the “RG Merger”) of all of the outstanding equity interests of RG Parent LLC and its subsidiaries (“Robert Graham” or “RG”), a business engaged in the design, development, sales and licensing of apparel products and accessories that bear the brand name Robert Graham® (the “Robert Graham Business”), as contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 8, 2015 (the “RG Merger Agreement”), by and among RG, JJ Merger Sub, LLC (“RG Merger Sub”) and us, for an aggregate of $81.0 million in cash and 8,825,461 shares of our common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“common stock”) (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below)). Pursuant to the RG Merger Agreement, among other things, RG Merger Sub was merged with and into RG, so that RG, as the surviving entity, became our wholly-owned subsidiary. The aggregate cash consideration was used to repay $19.0 million of RG’s outstanding loans and indebtedness under its revolving credit agreement with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.  On the RG Merger’s closing date, all outstanding loans under the CIT Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement were repaid and it was terminated in connection with entering into (i) a new credit and security agreement (as later amended, the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender, (ii) a new credit and security agreement with TCW Asset Management Company, as agent, and the lenders party thereto (as later amended, the “Term Credit Agreement”), and (iii) an amended and restated deferred purchase factoring agreement with CIT.

 

Effective upon consummation of the RG Merger, we changed our name from “Joe’s Jeans Inc.” to “Differential Brands Group Inc.” and our trading symbol from “JOEZ” to “DFBG,” and effected a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our issued and outstanding common stock such that each 30 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock were reclassified into one share of our issued and outstanding common stock, which Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value or the amount of authorized shares of our common stock. The primary purpose of the Reverse Stock Split was to increase the per-share market price of our common stock in order to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market maintained by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”). Unless otherwise indicated, all share amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

 

After the closing of the Joe’s Asset Sale on September 11, 2015, we retained and operated 32 Joe’s® brand retail stores, of which we transferred 18 retail stores to GBG on January 28, 2016 for no additional consideration. As of February 29, 2016, the remaining 14 Joe’s® brand retail stores were closed and are reported as discontinued operations.

GBG supplied Joe’s® branded merchandise to the retail stores for resale under a license from Joe’s Holdings until the stores were transferred or closed.

 

The RG Merger has been accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization. As a result of the RG Merger, RG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company no longer owns certain assets and intellectual property of the Joe’s Business and the Company retains ownership of the businesses associated with its Hudson® brand (the “Hudson Business”). The former RG members own a majority of our issued and outstanding equity after the RG Merger. Under the acquisition method, RG is deemed the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes, with the Company, as the legal acquirer, being viewed as the accounting acquiree. As a result, the assets, liabilities and operations reflected in the historical condensed consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report prior to the RG Merger are those of RG and will be recorded at the historical cost basis and the Company’s future periodic reports will reflect RG’s historical financial condition and results of operations for comparative purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include: (i) from January 1, 2016 up to the day prior to the closing of the RG Merger on January 28, 2016, the results of operations and cash flows of RG; (ii) from and after the RG Merger’s closing date on January 28, 2016, the results of continuing operations, cash flows and, as applicable, the assets and liabilities of the combined company, comprising the Company’s Hudson Business and RG; (iii) from and after the RG Merger’s closing date on January 28, 2016, the results of the discontinued operations from the Joe’s® brand retail stores that were not transferred to GBG but that closed as of February 29, 2016; and (iv) from and after the acquisition of SWIMS AS (“SWIMS”) on July 18, 2016, the results of continuing operations and cash flows and, as applicable, the assets and liabilities of SWIMS.

 

Prior to the RG Merger, RG and the Company had different fiscal year ends, with RG’s fiscal year ending on December 31 and the Company’s fiscal year ending on November 30. In connection with the RG Merger, the Company changed its fiscal year end to December 31. The accounting policies of the Company are similar in all material respects to those of RG, except as set forth in our accompanying notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company continues to be a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) following the RG Merger.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2016

 

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Our principal business activity involves the design, development and worldwide marketing of apparel products, which include denim jeans, related casual wear and accessories bearing the brand name Hudson®, the design, development, sales and licensing of apparel products and accessories bearing the brand name Robert Graham® and the design, development, sales and licensing of footwear and accessories bearing the brand name SWIMS®. Our primary current operating subsidiaries are Robert Graham, Hudson Clothing, LLC (“Hudson”) and as of July 18, 2016, DFBG Swims, LLC (“DFBG Swims”) (see “Note 4 –Acquisition of SWIMS”). In addition, we have other non-operating subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On January 28, 2016, we completed the RG Merger.  We refer you to the “Explanatory Note” on page 1 for the definitions of the capitalized terms used in this Quarterly Report.  As a result of the RG Merger, RG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and RG’s former members own a majority of our issued and outstanding equity. Additionally, the Company owns the Robert Graham Business, no longer owns the Joe’s Business and has retained ownership of the Hudson Business. The RG Merger has been accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization, such that, under the acquisition method, RG has been deemed the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes, with the Company, as the legal acquirer, viewed as the accounting acquiree. As a result, the assets, liabilities and operations reflected in the historical condensed consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report prior to the RG Merger are those of RG and are recorded at the historical cost basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include: (i) from January 1, 2016 up to the day prior to the closing of the RG Merger on January 28, 2016, the results of operations and cash flows of RG; and (ii) from and after the RG Merger’s closing date on January 28, 2016, the results of continuing operations and cash flows and, as applicable, the assets and liabilities of the combined company, comprising the Company’s Hudson Business and Robert Graham Business; (iii) from and after the RG Merger’s closing date on January 28, 2016, the results of the discontinued operations from the Joe’s® brand retail stores that were not transferred to GBG but that closed as of February 29, 2016; (iv) from and after the acquisition of SWIMS (as defined in Note 4) on July 18, 2016, the results of continuing operations and cash flows and, as applicable, the assets and liabilities of SWIMS.    

In connection with the RG Merger, we changed our fiscal year end to December 31 and report our results with RG as the accounting acquirer. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation.

Our reportable business segments are Wholesale, Consumer Direct and Corporate and other. Because RG has been accounted for as the accounting acquirer as a result of the RG Merger, we have adopted RG’s three subdivisions as our reportable segments for all operations of our combined Company for periods after the RG Merger’s closing date. For periods before the RG Merger’s closing date, our discussion of reportable segments reflects only the operations of RG.  We manage, evaluate and aggregate our operating segments for segment reporting purposes primarily on the basis of business activity and operation. Our Wholesale segment is comprised of sales of our products to premium department stores, boutiques, retailers, specialty stores and international customers, and records expenses from sales and customer service departments, trade shows, warehouse distribution, product samples and customer service departments. Our Consumer Direct segment is comprised of sales to consumers through our Robert Graham® brand full-price retail stores and outlet stores, through our SWIMS® brand outlet store in Oslo, Norway and through our online retail sites at www.hudsonjeans.com,  www.robertgraham.us and www.swims.com. Our Corporate and other segment is comprised of revenue from trademark licensing agreements and expenses from corporate operations, which include the executive, finance, legal, information technology, accounting, human resources, design and production departments and general brand marketing and advertising expenses associated with our brands.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which comprise the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (including Hudson from the date of the completion of the RG Merger and DFBG Swims from the date of

acquisition), for the quarterly and year to date periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related footnote information have been prepared on a basis consistent with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the three-year period ended December 31, 2015 (filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2016).  

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the three-year period ended December 31, 2015 contained in Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which management considers necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the entire year ending December 31, 2016. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

 

NOTE 2 — ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our accounting policies are described in the December 31, 2015 financial statements of RG filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016.  The following accounting policies became effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

Discontinued Operations

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, the results of operations of a component of an entity or a group or component of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the reporting company’s operations that has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale are required to be reported as discontinued operations in a company’s consolidated financial statements. In order to be considered a discontinued operation, both the operations and cash flows of the discontinued component must have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the company and the company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the discontinued component after the disposal transaction. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations of our Joe's Business as discontinued operations.

Stock−Based Compensation

We measure the cost of all employee stock-based compensation awards based on the grant date fair value of those awards and record that cost as compensation expense over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for the award (generally over the vesting period of the award). An entity may elect either an accelerated recognition method or a straight-line recognition method for awards subject to graded vesting based on a service condition, regardless of how the fair value of the award is measured. For all stock-based compensation awards that contain graded vesting based on service conditions, we have elected to apply a straight-line recognition method to account for these awards.

Two−Class Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating security as if all of the net earnings for the period had been distributed. Our participating securities consist of convertible preferred shares that contain a nonforfeitable right to receive dividends and therefore are considered to participate in undistributed earnings with common stockholders.

Preferred Share Dividend

Cumulative dividends on preferred stock are only accrued for when the board of directors declares a dividend.  The board of directors has not declared a dividend through September 30, 2016.

Concentration of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and factor accounts receivable. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. The policy is designed to limit exposure to any one institution. We perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit rating of those financial institutions that are considered in our investment strategy.

We do not require collateral for trade accounts receivable. However, we sell a portion of our accounts receivable to CIT on a non-recourse basis (see “Note 7 – Factored and Accounts Receivables, Net”). In that instance, we are no longer at risk if the customer fails to pay. For accounts receivable that are not sold to CIT or sold on a recourse basis, we continue to be at risk if these customers fail to pay. We provide an allowance for estimated losses to be incurred in the collection of accounts receivable based upon the aging of outstanding balances and other account monitoring analysis. The net carrying value approximates the fair value for these assets. Such losses have historically been within management’s expectations. Uncollectible accounts are written off once collection efforts are deemed by management to have been exhausted.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, sales to customers or customer groups representing greater than 10 percent of net sales are as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, this customer represented approximately 36% and 39%, respectively, of our factored accounts receivable in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Comprehensive (loss) income represents the change in stockholders’ equity resulting from transactions other than stockholder investments and distributions.  Accumulated other comprehensive income includes changes in equity that are excluded from our net loss, specifically, unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the consolidated statements of equity.  We present the components of comprehensive (loss) income within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our 100% owned direct foreign operations present their financial reports in the currency used in the economic environment in which they mainly operate, known as the functional currency.  Our functional currency consists of the Norwegian Krone for operations in Norway.  Assets and liabilities in foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars

at the exchange rate as of September 30, 2016, while the statement of operations is translated at the average exchange rate for the relevant period.  Gains and losses from these translations are recognized in foreign currency translation included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of equity.

Derivative Liabilities

We account for warrants and other derivative financial instruments as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, our warrants that were issued in conjunction with the acquisition of DFBG Swims (see “Note 4 – Acquisition of SWIMS”) were determined to be equity classification. Warrants classified as equity are recorded at fair value as of the date of issuance on our consolidated balance sheets and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Management estimates the fair value of these warrants using option pricing models and assumptions that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for future financings, expected volatility, expected life, yield, and risk-free interest rate.

 

 

NOTE 3 —  ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

 

In July 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, (“ASU”) 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330) - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which will require an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and there was no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which will require entities to present deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) and deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”) as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 simplifies the current guidance, which requires entities to separately present DTAs and DTLs as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2015-17 are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. ASU 2015-17 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2017. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and there was no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

 

In April and March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), respectively. ASU 2016-10 clarifies the implementation guidance on licensing and the identification of performance obligations considerations included in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-08 provides amendments to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations included in ASU 2014-09. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date. We have not yet adopted this ASU and we are currently evaluating the impact it may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which affects the accounting for leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The amendment also will require qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted. We have not yet adopted this ASU and we are currently evaluating the impact it may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements To Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, relating to employee share-based payment accounting. This guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period.  Early application is permitted.  We have not yet adopted this ASU and are currently evaluating the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The standard’s core principle is debt issuance costs related to a note shall be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of that note and that amortization of debt issuance costs also shall be reported as interest expense. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and there was no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Customers with Contracts (Topic 606) Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. ASU 2016-12 amends certain aspects of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Customers with Contracts (Topic 606).” The amendments include the following:

 

ASU 2016-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date of December 31, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” ASU 2016-15 amends the guidance in ASC 230 on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary purpose of ASU 2016-15 is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 add or clarify guidance on eight cash flow issues:
