Xcel Brands shares slip as losses continue despite cost-cutting effortsApril 8, 2026 9:54 AM
IH Market News
Xcel Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ:XELB) reported a fourth-quarter adjusted loss of $0.32 per share on revenue of $1.2 million as the media and consumer products company continues restructuring its business model. Revenue was unchanged from the same quarter a year earlier and sharply lower than the $8.3 million reported for the full year 2024.The results weighed on investor sentiment, with the company’s shares falling about 5.48% in pre-market trading.For the quarter, Xcel posted an adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.61 million, narrowing from a loss of $0.79 million in the comparable period last year, representing a 24% improvement.Direct operating expenses declined by $0.6 million, or roughly 22%, to $2.2 million as the company implemented cost-cutting measures as part of its ongoing transformation strategy.Management said these actions have reduced direct operating costs to an anticipated annual run rate of under $9 million.For the full year 2025, revenue fell 42% to $4.9 million, largely reflecting the divestiture of the Lori Goldstein brand in June 2024. Despite the drop in sales, adjusted EBITDA improved 35% year over year to a loss of $2.3 million, compared with a loss of $3.5 million in 2024.“I am pleased with the progress we are making with our legacy brands and all of our new influencer led brands. These new influencer led brands will be launching throughout 2026,” said Robert W. D’Loren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.As of December 31, 2025, the company reported shareholders’ equity of $15.8 million and unrestricted cash of $1.2 million. Outstanding term loan debt totaled $12.7 million, with $3.3 million due within the next 12 months.Management said it remains focused on restoring profitability and aims to reach a combined total of 100 million social media followers across its brand portfolio.Xcel Brands stock price

I don't know what your talking about a loss... I traded this from a subpenny to .05 with huge profits... Yes I Did sell 95% of my position before the R/S and held a small position of FREE shares through the R/S as a gamble!! I sold my small amount of FREE shares for 8.25.... So sorry no loss here!!!!

I have monitored this stock ever since and after seeing the insider sell I figured I'd voice my opinion!!

I warned against paying way too much for this pre-RM over a year ago and got nothing but grief and insults in return...now it's a "POS" in your words. It never works to pay post RM prices before the RM happens...never. Sorry for your loss bud. Once this imbalance works its way out it may be a different story.

You could afford a million shares if you guys would just let this drift down in pps. Every time it dips you add. Let it go. The new owners paid .00315...that tells you what the stock is actually worth. Next month/year could be totally different story..I agree... but right now no merger has happened...so why pay 10X as if the merger HAS happened?? It's a fair question..not meant to antagonize anyone.

XELB... You can barely trade this POS and look at how much the insiders sold already!! http://www.secform4.com/insider-trading/1083220.htm

Seems like another share selling pink!! Scary.. That's why I don't trade in the wild west anymore!!!! GLTA
