Item 9. Other Events
On Friday June 4, 2021, Feel the World, Inc. D.B.A. Xero Shoes (“Xero”), shared First Quarter 2021 results with the investors of TZP Group Investments, L.P. (“TZP GI”), TZP Group Holdings, L.P. (“TZP GH”), and JKLM Advisors, LLC (“JKLM”) (collectively “TZP”) as a part of TZP’s ordinary investor communication newsletter. The following is a summary from that newsletter.
In First Quarter of 2021, Xero generated revenue of $6.9 million and EBITDA of $1.3 million , an increase of 99% and 833% from the First Quarter 2020 respectively. Revenue and EBITDA for the twelve-month period April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 was $26.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively.
The increased revenue in First Quarter, 2021 when compared to the same quarter prior year was primarily driven by increases in direct-to-consumer orders. The increase in the First Quarter 2021 of EBITDA when compared to the same quarter prior year is attributable to higher overall revenue and increased percentage of revenue through the direct-to-consumer channel which has higher gross margins. Xero is in the process of strategically expanding its direct-to-consumer and wholesale channels in the European market, capitalizing on the consumer awareness and acceptance of the natural footwear movement in the European Union. Xero is also in talks with a distribution partner in China that would continue its expansion into key international markets by the end of 2021.
Xero is actively working with TZP management on key initiatives including strategic sourcing, systems infrastructure, retail distribution, business intelligence and supply chain.
