- XFit Brands finalizes agreement with Crown for receivables financing

- Frees up working capital for XFit Brands to continue global expansion of its one-stop-shop strategy for major fitness outlet operators

LAKE FOREST, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 23, 2016 / XFit Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: XFTB), a global supplier of fitness and MMA equipment sold at retail and fitness outlets worldwide whose brands include Throwdown® and Transformations™, today announced that it has secured a new financing arrangement with Crown Financial to fund its inventory requirements as XFit Brands continues to expand its portfolio around the world.

Houston-based Crown Financial, LLC entered into the agreement with XFit Brands following a detailed assessment of XFit Brand's financials and business plan, global manufacturer network, and major customer base and contributions. The agreement provides a non-dilutive Account Receivable-based facility for XFit Brands to access, and frees up needed working capital to the Company to continue funding its growth. As XFit Brands works with and supplies a broad portfolio to more and more of the large Fitness Industry leaders, the Company needed to put this facility in place to provide it the freedom to meet the needs of the industry leaders, and enable it to allocate working capital to other key elements of its business.

Chad Tribe, managing member of Crown Financial, "XFit Brands has a sophisticated group of leaders with the experience needed to scale up what we see as an attractive business. Crown is happy to be an integral part of the XFit Brands story going forward and looks forward to a long-term productive relationship with XFit Brands. Crown will be able to provide in excess of $5 million in receivable financing to XFit Brands."

Dave Vautrin, Chief Executive of XFIT Brands, "This will be a great accelerator of our growth, and provides us the flexibility to gain access to capital in a productive, cost effective manner while not being dilutive to our shareholders. While there are other potential financing partners that provide AR facilities, we found Crown to be unique and very collaborative. XFit Brands has great potential, but has been limited by working cap constraints. With this new facility and the recently announce GHS investment, we have runway in front of the firm that has never looked better."

Xfit Brands is sold in more than 20 countries around the world and has recently accelerated its business by becoming a one-stop shop for the major fitness industry outlet operators. That strategy has been particularly successful and enables the Company to benefit directly from the global growth in health and wellness. Xfit Brands in functional fitness and accessories, Throwdown® in impact sports and accessories, and Transformations® in programming and training is at the heart of this movement, and is why the company is growing compound annually at more than 40% per year.
