The combined company, formed as a result of the merger between Destination XL and FullBeauty, will unite complementary brands, channels, and capabilities to better serve plus-size women and Big + Tall men as a larger, stronger and more flexible public company positioned for long-term growth.
The two say that together, Destination XL and FullBeauty will be a leader in inclusive sizing apparel, with one of the industry’s broadest and most diverse portfolios – spanning value to premium across lifestyles and occasions. By leveraging complementary strengths across gender, product and channel, the combined company will be positioned to accelerate growth, improve operational efficiency and deliver an enhanced customer experience through a comprehensive, innovative multi-channel strategy.
The companies delivered combined net sales of approximately $1.2bn for the last twelve months ending October 2025. Assuming no pro forma adjustments, Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was approximately $45m. Including $25m in expected annual run-rate cost synergies, the combined company would have generated approximately $70m of LTM Adjusted EBITDA.
Following the completion of the all-stock transaction, FullBeauty and DXL shareholders will own 55% and 45% of the combined company, respectively.
Harvey Kanter, president and CEO of DXL, said: “Together with FullBeauty, we will be better able to serve our customers across the plus-size and Big + Tall apparel market, providing them more brands, more styles and more options whether they shop in stores or online through our powerful omni-channel platform. Our shareholders will benefit from the upside potential of our large, combined company as we capture growth opportunities, leverage our Fit expertise, execute on cost synergies and use our enhanced financial position to invest in our business. We look forward to working with FullBeauty and joining our teams to deliver on the promise of this combination.”
“By uniting DXL and FullBeauty we are creating a leader in a fragmented market that will define the next decade of inclusive fashion,” said Jim Fogarty, CEO of FullBeauty and incoming CEO of the combined company. “Together we will be a powerful engine for innovation — combining data science, digital scale, proprietary fit technology and differentiated store expertise. With our shared values and mission, incredible portfolio of brands, complementary capabilities, enhanced financial profile, proven record of successful brand integrations and the scale of a larger public company, we expect to deliver sustainable growth, stronger margins and long-term shareholder value — while expanding choice for customers in an apparel category that has historically lacked options.”
