Background on the FIGS, Inc. Securities Class Action
FIGS is an American healthcare apparel brand based out of Santa Monica, California. The Company is known primarily for their medical scrubs, but they also sell other healthcare apparel such as lab coats, activewear, footwear, and masks.
On June 1, 2021, FIGS announced the closing of its IPO. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company offered its stock at $22 per share. However, the case alleges that the Registration Statement contained false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company inflated its true ability to successfully secure repeat customers; (ii) failed to disclose the Company’s heavy dependence on air freight; and (iii) inflated the expected net revenues, gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA margin for 2022.
On May 12, 2022, FIGS announced disappointing results and slashed their expected sales, gross margin, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) because of supply chain issues. The Company also admitted that they continued to rely on air freight and planned to increase their use of airfreight to reduce exposure to unpredictable transit times. On this news, the price of FIGS shares plummeted $3.21 per share (approximately 25%) to just $9.64 per share.
