Analysts see strong single-digit organic growth in 2015 for Sequential. The report identifies three potential growth targets for the company: category expansion, international expansion and e-commerce.

Licensing Revenue

Analysts believe that licensing will continue to drive earnings for Sequential in the future. The company's aggressive addition of brands and categories -- and its expansion into leading department and discount stores via licensing deals -- is a recipe for long-term success.

Growth Via Acquisition

Management intends to add $30 million in revenue via acquisitions in 2015. By maintaining discipline in its selection process, management believes it will not have to pay more than seven times forward earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for potential acquisitions.

Outlook

Wunderlich analysts believe that Sequential Brands remains on the rise. They conclude: “With verdant internal growth opportunities, solid access to capital, continued strong acquisition candidates and the ability to aggressively leverage a solid infrastructure, Sequential remains the best positioned of the brand licensing plays.”
