Naked Brand Group Limited
MZ Group will work closely with Naked Brand Group Limited management to develop and execute a complete capital markets strategy designed to increase the Company’s visibility throughout the investment community. This structured campaign will highlight recent business successes including a successful debt restructuring, equity financing and the transaction between Naked Brand Group Inc. and Bendon Limited in June 2018.
Naked Brand Group Limited was created on June 20, 2018 via the merger of Nasdaq listed Naked Brand Group Inc and 71-year-old New Zealand company Bendon Limited, whose brands include Heidi Klum Intimates and Heidi Klum Swim. Today, the combined company designs, manufactures and markets a portfolio of 11 company-owned and licensed brands, catering to a broad cross-section of consumers and market segments. Its products are available in 44 countries worldwide through 6,000 retail doors, a growing network of E-commerce sites and 61 company-owned Bendon retail and outlet stores in Australia and New Zealand.
MZ has developed a distinguished reputation as a premier resource for institutional investors, brokers, analysts and private investors. The firm has six offices across North America, a strong presence in Asia and Brazil, and maintains extensive relationships with investors throughout Europe. Additionally, MZ Group was recently ranked the No. 1 consultancy in Latin America and No. 7 in the world in business communication.
Managing Director and Head of MZ North America’s Orange County Office, Chris Tyson, will be advising Naked Brand Group Limited in all facets of corporate and financial communications, including the coordination of roadshows and investment conferences across key cities and building brand awareness with the financial media.
“Naked Brand Group Limited due to its extensive operating history and recent transaction has created a unique retail operating platform with significant underleveraged assets,” commented Ted Haberfield, President of MZ North America. “Our primary objective will be to communicate the immense value proposition Naked’s platform business has today and more importantly after new supply chain savings are realized, an expanded E-commerce profile is achieved and strategic acquisitions are implemented. The combination of a stable financial profile with total pro forma revenue of over $100 million and the addition of new organic and inorganic growth strategies position Naked to gain operating scale while leveraging its existing infrastructure, at a high ROI.
“We look forward to building upon the exceptional reputation and brand that Naked Brand Group Limited has made for itself as we implement a robust investor relations awareness program,” concluded Haberfield.
“The inflection point with our story is now center stage as we have made significant progress recapitalizing our company, attracting key retail industry veterans and refining our platform business to achieve significant growth at scale,” stated Justin Davis-Rice, Chief Executive Officer of Naked Brand Group Limited. “With a line of sight to post-synergy EBITDA contribution and positive cash flow operations, we have partnered with MZ Group to execute a comprehensive investor relations strategy and enhance our awareness with the investment community,” concluded Davis-Rice.
