Our net loss per diluted share was $0.59 versus a net loss of $4.55 per diluted share a year ago, an improvement of 671% year over year. Our net loss attributable to common stockholders was $7.8 million versus a net loss of $3.0 million a year ago. The net loss included non-cash expenses associated with a change in the fair value of contingent liabilities and amortization of loan discount and fees of $3.0 million. 

"Our first quarter 2022 results reflect another quarter of meaningful improvement in our business results," said Hil Davis, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Brands Group.

"We continue to drive significant revenue growth year-over-year. In fact, based on our current wholesale orders for this summer and fall, we believe that we will continue to experience strong year-over-year revenue growth.  This revenue growth is creating leverage on our fixed costs. We believe that we will benefit from this revenue growth in the fall to fully leverage our fixed costs," concluded Davis.
