LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BRAVADA International Ltd. (www.Bravadawomen.com) (Pink Sheets:BRAV) announced today that it is developing its wholesale business as one of its core revenue segments for its BRAVADA Elite high performance private label as well as for its cotton blend women’s activewear, sport fashion, yoga clothes and workout clothing that it expects to private label and manufacture, tentatively called BRAVADA Basics.
BRAVADA will develop two main revenue segments, retail (direct to consumer) and wholesale (select third party retail vendors). BRAVADA’s revenue segments can be broken into the following categories with their respective forecasted net revenue distribution:
1. Retail (67%)
A. BRAVADA Women’s Athletica Retail Stores (55%)
i. Corporate Stores (75%)
ii. Franchise Stores (25%)
B. Online Retail (12%)
i. BravadaWomen.com (88%)
ii. OnlyLeggings.com (3%)
iii. *WorldofJeggings.com (9%)
2. Wholesale – BRAVADA Private Labels (33%)
A. Third Party Retailers (25%)
B. Co-branding (8%)
*WorldofJeggings.com is expected to be released in Q2, 2011
BRAVADA anticipates its wholesale enterprise to comprise about one third of its total revenue pie; however, revenue derived from its wholesale business will intrinsically have higher product volumes with lower gross margins and lower fixed costs to propagate that revenue as the wholesale enterprise will be added to existing facilities and fulfillment routines.
