By GlobalDataDigital Brands Group’s gross profit for the quarter stood at $1.7m, declining from $2.0m in Q1 FY23.
But the gross profit margin improved, rising to 48.1% from 45.5%.
Net operating loss also improved, coming in at $225,000 compared to a loss of $3.7m in the previous year.
Digital Brands Group CEO Hil Davis said: “Despite a timing shift in our wholesale shipments, which shifted revenue from the first quarter to the second quarter, we experienced significant operating expense leverage. We expect this operating leverage to continue throughout the year.
“In fact, this operating leverage coupled with higher revenues will result in higher flow through to our operating and net income.”
