Third Quarter Highlights versus Fiscal 2018 Third Quarter: Revenues decreased from $7.8 million to $5.8 millionSG&A expenses decreased from $6.2 million to $3.2 millionAdjusted EBITDA increased from $1.6 million to $2.6 millionNet income from continuing operations of $0.1 million versus a loss of $2.4 million Third Quarter Highlights versus Fiscal 2019 Second Quarter: Revenues decreased from $7.1 million to $5.8 millionSG&A expenses decreased from $4.0 million to $3.2 millionAdjusted EBITDA decreased from $3.1 to $2.6 millionNet income from continuing operations of $0.1 million versus a loss of $9.1 million Nine Month Highlights versus the prior year: Revenues decreased from $22.5 million to $18.3 millionSG&A expenses decreased from $18.5 million to $11.6 millionAdjusted EBITDA increased from $4.0 million to $6.7 million Net loss from continuing operations of $11.7 million versus $10.7 million SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., Dec. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cherokee Global Brands (NASDAQ: CHKE), a global brand marketing platform that manages a growing portfolio of fashion and lifestyle brands, today reported financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended November 3, 2018.  Revenues decreased for the third quarter as the Company continues to transition from its DTR licenses to new wholesale licensing partners in the United States. This was partially offset by revenues from the Company’s new product development and design agreement.  The Company has worked to restructure and rightsize its business operations, resulting in a $3.0 million, or 48% reduction in  selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter.  Revenue generated from the Company’s Hi-Tec brand portfolio grew $1.6 million to $8.6 milllion for the nine-month period, an increase of 22% compared to the first nine months of the prior year. “This has been a very productive year for the company.  Although it’s early, our licensees and retail partners are seeing a significant revenue opportunity for the Hi-Tec portfolio of brands as they introduce new categories into new distribution channels on a global scale,” said Henry Stupp, chief executive officer.  “Further, our more efficient structure is focused on maximizing the value we can deliver on brands we own, brands we create and brands we develop for new partners, which taps into the capabilities of our product design and development platform.” Mr. Stupp added, “Looking to the remainder of fiscal 2019 and beyond, we intend to expand the reach of our brand portfolio through category growth, new territories, new design partnerships and new licensees.  The scalability, relevance and strategic plans that have been established for our brands are leading us to be a more profitable and responsive global brand management company.” Revenues Revenues were $5.8 million in the third quarter, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 25%, from $7.8 million in the prior year.  The year-over-year decline largely reflects the transition of the Company’s Tony Hawk, Cherokee, and the Liz Lange brands in the U.S. from a direct-to-retail (“DTR”) model to new wholesale licensing partners.  Revenues in the prior year quarter includes $2.4 million from non-renewed licenses and Flip Flop Shops, which was divested in June 2018.  These declines were partially offset by revenues from the Company’s new multi-year product development and design agreement in China.  Revenues from relationships that existed in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 increased $0.4 million, or 8%, year over year. Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 were $18.3 million, compared to $22.5 million in the prior year, a decrease of $4.2 million, or 19%.  Non-renewed licenses and Flip Flop Shops represented $8.0 million of revenues in the first nine months of the prior year.  These declines were partially offset by revenue increases for the Cherokee and Hi-Tec portfolio of brands along with revenues from the new product development and design agreement.  Revenues from relationships that existed in the first nine months of the year increased $3.8 million, or 26%. Operating and Nonoperating ExpensesSelling, general and administrative expenses, which comprise the Company’s normal operating expenses, were $3.2 million, compared to $6.2 million in the third quarter of the prior year. The $3.0 million, or 48% year-over-year decrease, reflects reduced spending for payroll, professional fees, general operating costs and the elimination of temporary employees following the completion of the Hi-Tec integration.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 decreased $6.9 million, or 37%, to $11.6 million from $18.5 million in the prior year. During the second quarter of this fiscal year, the Company incurred several one-time charges that affected its results for the first nine months of fiscal 2019.  Restructuring charges and business acquisition and integration costs totaled $5.9 million, and the refinancing of the Company’s previous credit facility resulted in $4.0 of non-cash and cash charges.  These costs were partially offset by a $0.5 million gain on the sale of assets.   Profitability MeasuresOperating income for the third quarter was $2.1 million, compared to an operating loss of $1.5 million in the third quarter of the prior year. The operating loss during the nine months of fiscal 2019 was $0.5 million, compared to a loss of $5.0 million in the first nine months of the prior year. Net income from continuing operations was $0.1 million, or zero cents per diluted share in the third quarter of the current year, as compared to a net loss of $2.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share in the prior year.  The net loss from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $11.7 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $10.7 million, or $0.81 per diluted share in the prior year.   Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.1 million, or 68% to $2.6 million for the third quarter, compared to $1.6 million in the prior year.  This improvement was due to the year-over-year decline in selling, general and administrative expenses.  Adjusted EBITDA during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 increased $2.8 million, or 69% to $6.7 million, compared to $4.0 million in the first nine months of the prior year. Balance SheetAt November 3, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.0 million, compared to $3.2 million at February 3, 2018.  Outstanding borrowings under the Company’s term loan and subordinated promissory notes totaled $50.0 at November 3, 2018, net of debt issuance costs, with $0.8 million reflected as a current obligation.  At February 3, 2018, all of the Company’s long-term debt of $46.1 million was classified as a current obligation. Fiscal 2019 Outlook The Company is narrowing its guidance for the fiscal year ending February 2, 2019 as follows: Revenues are anticipated to be in the range of $25.0 to $26.0 millionAdjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $9.0 to $10.0 millionSG&A is expected to approximate $16.0 million Conference CallThe Company will host a conference call today at 1:30 p.m. PT / 4:30 p.m. ET.

Safe Harbor Statement This news release may contain forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future performance of Cherokee Global Brands. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, without limitation, express or implied statements regarding: the Company’s forecasted operating results for fiscal year 2019; the Company’s expectations regarding its new and existing license agreements and the performance of its licensees thereunder; the Company’s ability to sustain necessary liquidity and grow its business; and anticipated market developments and opportunities. A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances and is based on currently available market, operating, financial and competitive information and assumptions. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or projected, including, among others, risks that: the Company and its partners will not achieve the results anticipated in the statements made in this release; global economic conditions and the financial condition of the apparel and retail industry and/or adverse changes in licensee or consumer acceptance of products bearing the Company’s brands may lead to reduced royalties; the ability and/or commitment of the Company’s licensees to design, manufacture and market Cherokee®, Hi-Tec®, Magnum®, 50 Peaks®, Interceptor®, Carole Little®, Tony Hawk® and Hawk Brands®, Liz Lange®, Everyday California® and Sideout® branded products could cause our results to differ from our anticipations; the Company’s dependence on a select group of licensees for most of the Company’s revenues makes us susceptible to changes in those organizations; and the Company’s dependence on its key management personnel could leave us exposed to disruption on any termination of service. A more detailed discussion of such risks and uncertainties are described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on April 19, 2018, its periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K, and subsequent filings with the SEC the Company makes from time to time. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

This forecast is made as of the date of this release, and Company undertakes no obligation to update or amend this guidance whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Certain of the information set forth herein, including Adjusted EBITDA, may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. Cherokee believes this information is useful to investors as a measure of profitability, because it helps us compare our performance on a consistent basis by removing from our operating results the impact of our capital structure, the effect of operating in different tax jurisdictions, the impact of our asset base, which can differ depending on the book value of assets and the accounting methods used to compute depreciation and amortization, and the cost of acquiring or disposing of businesses and restructuring our operations.  In addition, the company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating the company’s operating performance and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. A reconciliation of net loss from continuing operations as reported in our consolidated statements of operations is reconciled to Adjusted EBITDA in tabular form later in this release under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Data“.   Investor Contact:Cherokee Global BrandsSteve Brink, CFO818-908-9868 Addo Investor RelationsLaura Bainbridge/Patricia Nir310-829-5400 CHEROKEE INC.CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS(UNAUDITED)(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)   November 3,  February 3,   2018  2018 Assets        Current assets:        Cash and cash equivalents $2,045  $3,174 Accounts receivable, net  6,233   9,805 Other receivables  406   472 Prepaid expenses and other current assets  940   1,258 Current assets of discontinued operations  —   1,868 Total current assets  9,624   16,577 Property and equipment, net  690   1,090 Intangible assets, net  64,869   69,548 Goodwill  16,252   16,352 Accrued revenue and other assets  1,360   30 Total assets $92,794  $103,597 Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity        Current liabilities:        Accounts payable $6,421  $7,205 Other current liabilities  5,618   7,370 Current portion of long term debt  800   46,105 Deferred revenue—current  2,004   2,229 Current liabilities of discontinued operations  —   1,103 Total current liabilities  14,843   64,012 Long term liabilities:        Long-term debt  49,163   — Deferred income taxes  11,630   10,466 Other liabilities  2,990   5,004 Total liabilities  78,626   79,482 Commitments and Contingencies (Note 9)        Stockholders’ Equity:        Preferred stock, $.02 par value, 1,000,000 shares authorized, none issued  —   — Common stock, $.02 par value, 20,000,000 shares authorized, shares issued  14,223,037 (November 3, 2018) and 13,997,200 (February 3, 2018)  284   280 Additional paid-in capital  75,882   74,377 Accumulated deficit  (61,998)  (50,542)Total stockholders’ equity  14,168   24,115 Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $92,794  $103,597  CHEROKEE INC.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS(UNAUDITED)(In thousands, except per share amounts)  Three Months Ended  Nine Months Ended  November 3,  October 28,  November 3,  October 28,  2018  2017  2018  2017 Revenues$5,842  $7,796  $18,317  $22,481 Operating expenses:               Selling, general and administrative expenses 3,234   6,245   11,577   18,496 Stock-based compensation 241   1,250   666   2,344 Business acquisition and integration costs —   1,503   307   5,325 Restructuring charges —   —   5,615   128 Gain on sale of assets 25   —   (546)  — Depreciation and amortization 292   347   1,223   1,138 Total operating expenses 3,792   9,345   18,842   27,431 Operating income (loss) 2,050   (1,549)  (525)  (4,950)Other income (expense):               Interest expense (1,910)  (1,706)  (6,007)  (4,829)Other income (expense), net 14   (24)  (3,219)  (256)Total other expense, net (1,896)  (1,730)  (9,226)  (5,085)Income (loss) from continuing operations before  income taxes 154   (3,279)  (9,751)  (10,035)Provision (benefit) for income taxes 91   (889)  1,980   665 Net income (loss) from continuing operations 63   (2,390)  (11,731)  (10,700)Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes —   (130)  -   296 Net income (loss)$63  $(2,520) $(11,731) $(10,404)Net loss per share:               Basic loss per share from continuing operations$0.00  $(0.17) $(0.83) $(0.81)Diluted loss per share from continuing operations$0.00  $(0.17) $(0.83) $(0.81)Basic (loss) earnings from discontinued operations per  share$—  $(0.01) $-  $0.02 Diluted (loss) earnings from discontinued operations  per share$—  $(0.01) $-  $

CLEARWATER, Fla., Dec. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Florida chapter of Criminon, an international non-profit organization dedicated to rehabilitating criminals through a secular education program based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard, held its last graduation for 2018 on December 8th at the Manatee County Correctional Institution. Twenty-four inmates completed the first in the series of Criminon courses, The Way to Happiness, a non-religious, non-political, commonsense guide to better living. The graduation marked the seventh graduation this year and capped a total of 1,445 inmates helped in the 120 Florida prisons where the program is being delivered through correspondence courses and on-site delivery. At the Everglades Correctional Institution graduation in August, over one hundred guests saw 20 inmates receive their Criminon certificates for the completion of a course. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room when the inmates shared their experiences and life-changing successes. One example was “Billy”, who was imprisoned in 1991 for first degree murder and who lived a miserable life in his prison cell until 2014 where he started in the Criminon correspondence courses. The program, he said, changed his life forever, “I can honestly say that if Criminon was delivered every day to inmates, everything would be much better and that would be it! … Rehabilitation is possible!” With the Florida Department of Corrections using only 3.5% of its budget on educational programs and an increasing inmate population of over 96,000, Criminon is filling an important gap in actually rehabilitating offenders. Through free correspondence courses that any inmate can do, even “lifers” like Billy have new hope. “It’s all about helping them regain their self-respect,” stated Francisco Leyton, the Executive Director of Criminon Florida. “Criminon’s educational programs are pivotal in stopping the revolving door of criminality.” Criminon’s motto is taken from The Way to Happiness by L. Ron Hubbard in which he writes, “There is no person alive who cannot make a new beginning.” Besides The Way to Happiness, the Criminon Program also provides the following courses: Learning Improvement Course; Truth About Drugs; Personal Integrity; How to Handle Suppression; How to Handle Conditions in Life; Parenting Skills; and Understanding and Overcoming Addiction. For more information, call 727-467-6963 for Criminon Florida, headquartered at 45 North Fort Harrison, downtown Clearwater. Criminon Florida is open to the public from 10 am to 10 pm daily with interactive displays outlining Criminon’s 50-year history, a seminar room, a conference room and offices for volunteers. Relatives of inmates can have their relatives request the program sending a letter to PO Box 2396 at Clearwater, FL, 33757-9804. About Criminon: Criminon is an international non-profit organization dedicated to rehabilitating criminals through a secular educational program based on the works of made by Author, Humanitarian and Philanthropist L. Ron Hubbard who once said: “A criminal career always begins at the moment when the criminal-to-be loses his self-respect”. And that is what Criminon addresses with its program. Thanks to the sponsorship of the Church of Scientology, Criminon has gotten 23,000 inmates through the program in 23 different countries across the globe.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A true holiday magic, not to mention a mouthwatering selection of chef-curated menu, are waiting for you this December in MariVanna. This booming Flatiron restaurant unveils a true soul of Russian hospitality through a unique combination of comfort, tradition and authentic food.  Upon entering, guests will find themselves in a spectacular wonderland of beautifully decorated Christmas trees, dazzling lights and traditional holiday scents. Feels like Santa is coming to town! Is your Christmas wish ready? The concept of MariVanna has not changed since it opened in 2009. Filled with old charm and pleasant feeling of comfort, MariVanna is a “home away from home” and probably that is the main reason of the restaurant’s growing popularity. Upon entering, guests will be immediately transported to the Russian heartland, replete with homey furniture, elegant chandeliers, and most crucially, pitch-perfect renditions of the country’s culinary classics. While other upscale Russian restaurants alternately aspire to the imperial decadence of the Tsarist era or attempt to reconstitute the cuisine along avant-garde models favored by the zeitgeist, Mari Vanna embraces the classics that endured through Soviet times, serving up sizzling palettes of fried potatoes and mushrooms alongside meat cutlets, and pickles, followed by a slice of the classic Napoleon cake. It pairs excellently with an ice-cold shot of homemade infused vodka (be sure, there is a wide selection available!). According to General Manager, Boris Artemyev, “Our food is inspired by what our moms and grandmothers used to make. It’s home cooking, from the heart, as one does for one's own children and grandchildren.” And, just in time for holidays, this home-inspired restaurant readily embraces the tradition of Christmas festivities with multiple garlands and lights. Visit us at 41 E 20th St, New York, NY 10003 to enjoy the holiday magic with us!

Publication is the what, where, how, and why of the recycling industryWashington, DC, Dec. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) announced the release of its seventh annual Recycling Industry Yearbook, providing the most up-to-date information and statistics about the U.S. recycling industry and global scrap marketplace. With a greater spotlight on the industry in the wake of rising trade protectionism around the globe, the publication provides the most comprehensive analysis of where the industry stands based on the most current data compared to previous years. It will also serves as a baseline for years to come based on the new global market realities.“The scrap marketplace has become increasingly global in recent decades and the United States is the largest exporter of recycled commodities in the world,” said ISRI Chief Economist Joe Pickard. “China’s rapid economic expansion was the most important driver of the swift expansion of the global scrap market, but market conditions in China are changing today given China’s rising domestic supply of scrap, investment in scrap processing, and import restrictions. But as we show in the 2018 Yearbook, scrap recyclers remain extremely responsive to changing market conditions and are focused on producing consistently high quality scrap commodities to meet consumer demands at home and abroad.”Statistical highlights from the Yearbook include: Preliminary data show exports of all scrap commodities from around the world were valued at approximately $105 billion in 2017.Exports of all scrap commodities from the United States increased to nearly 38 million tons valued at $17.9 billion last year.Exports of scrap commodities account for well over 25 percent of the industry’s economic activity.Overall, the U.S. scrap industry directly and indirectly supports 534,000 U.S. good-paying jobs, generating $117 billion in economic activity and $13.2 billion in federal, state, and local taxes.The U.S. scrap industry annually processes more than 130 million tons of scrap metal, paper, plastics, electronics textiles, glass, and rubber.The 130 million metric tons of commodities recycled in the U.S. last year saved the CO2 equivalent of 410 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions, equal to the energy use of more than 43 million homes for one year.Since 2000, net exports of U.S. scrap have made a positive contribution to our balance of trade amounting to more than $235 billion.Major export destinations for U.S. scrap last year included China ($5.6 billion), Canada ($2.1 billion), Mexico ($1.1 billion), Turkey ($1 billion); India ($923 million), Germany ($910 million), and South Korea ($778 million).Globally, approximately 900 million tons of recyclables were consumed by manufacturers around the world last year. In addition, the Yearbook breaks down data by commodity and provides historical information on production, recovery and consumption; scrap trade flows; and scrap prices indexes. ### The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. (ISRI) is the "Voice of the Recycling Industry™." ISRI represents more than 1,300 companies in 21 chapters in the U.S. and more than 40 countries that process, broker, and consume scrap commodities, including metals, paper, plastics, glass, rubber, electronics, and textiles. With headquarters in Washington, DC, the Institute provides education, advocacy, safety and compliance training, and promotes public awareness of the vital role recycling plays in the U.S. economy, global trade, the environment and sustainable development. Generating nearly $117 billion annually in U.S. economic activity, the scrap recycling industry provides nearly half a million Americans with good jobs.

Justin Kobluk to lead WestCoast EntertainmentIRVINE, Calif., Dec. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Paciolan has announced the retirement of industry visionary Jack Lucas from WestCoast Entertainment. Justin Kobluk will assume the role of president at WestCoast Entertainment in January 2019.  Over his 40-year career in live entertainment, Jack Lucas grew TicketsWest and WestCoast Entertainment into true forces in the business. Lucas has received numerous industry accolades including the Patricia G. Spira Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Ticketing Association (INTIX), the Joseph J. Anzivino Award from the International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM) and more. Lucas will continue to work as an advisor for WestCoast Entertainment, assisting during the transition and providing strategic advice and vision. Paciolan acquired WestCoast Entertainment and TicketsWest in October 2017, and the business has continued to grow with WestCoast Entertainment experiencing a more than 30 percent increase in Broadway series subscribership this year and TicketsWest signing the most new named clients in the history of the company. “We have been so honored to work with Jack, both as early partners and now as part of the Paciolan family,” said Kim Damron, Paciolan CEO. “In addition to being a fantastic leader, Jack has always had the best interest of the company at heart. He has ensured that WestCoast Entertainment and TicketsWest are set up for long-term success, and we look forward to continuing that success with Justin.” In 1987, Lucas took the helm of the ticketing company that would later evolve into TicketsWest. In 1995 Lucas also took the helm of WestCoast Entertainment, growing it into an independent presenter of national touring Broadway productions, concerts and other special events including the STCU Best of Broadway and National Geographic Live series in Spokane. Lucas says that what has meant the most to him has always been investing in people and building a healthy business that his staff and their families could depend on. “Jack has been an incredible mentor to so many in this business, myself included,” said Dusty Kurtz, president of TicketsWest.  “He has always strived to leave the industry and the people in it better than he found them. It has been a privilege to work alongside him and see him in action.” WestCoast Entertainment’s incoming president, Justin Kobluk, brings nearly 30 years of entertainment industry experience, most recently serving as Entertainment Director for the 4-Diamond Northern Quest Resort, one of the premier entertainment destinations in the Pacific Northwest. He has extensive experience with all sides of live events including touring, venue management, booking and promoting.

These include the Tacoma Dome, The Xfiniti Arena, The Clark County Event Center, the Seattle Supersonics and even the U.S. Olympic Committee.  “I look forward to watching WestCoast Entertainment thrive under Justin’s extremely capable leadership,” Lucas said. “We just finished doing the Broadway musical of Finding Neverland and there’s a great line in there: ‘There are no endings, just new beginnings.’ I am so grateful for the career I have had in this business and all the treasured relationships that have been built along the way. I don’t know if I could have asked for anything better.” About Paciolan  Paciolan, a Learfield company, is a leader in ticketing, fundraising, marketing, and analytics solutions with over 38 years of experience serving more than 500 live entertainment organizations.  Paciolan enables the sale of more than 120 million tickets per year by powering over 125 college athletic programs, more than 100 professional sports and arenas organizations, 75 performing arts venues, and several regional ticketing partners who serve hundreds of venues.

As a reminder, the Group benefited during the 4th quarter 2017 from a tax return for the Casino du Lac Meyrin, which cannot be renewed this year. Turnover excluding games reached € 24.7 M with a growth of 3.4% (+ € 0.8 M), mainly due to the Parisian restaurant « Laurent ». Growth in Yearly turnover +1% Groupe Partouche reached an annual turnover of € 410.8 M up by +1% (+ € 3.9 M), despite a decrease in the business activity during 2nd half-year (- € 2.0 M compared to 2nd HY 2017). The 2018 financial year ended with a stable GGR of € 638.7 M, benefiting on one hand from the significant growth of the sports betting GGR (+ € 5.7 M), but penalized on the other hand by - € 3.7 M due to the variation EUR / CHF exchange rate for the two Swiss casinos of Meyrin and Crans-Montana. The NGR also remained stable, impacted by the increase in the CSG (general social contribution Tax) as of the 1st January 2018 (- € 3.7 M), but favoured by the low rate of levy applied to sports betting that have experienced a strong growth. The decrease in business activity over the second half-year will automatically lead to a decrease in operating profitability over the period, a trend that started in the first half of the year.
