Explanation of Profit Distribution and Withholding Variables

Athlete Brands is committed to providing athletes with an 80-100% share of the profit from each merchandise sale, depending on various factors including product type, potential funds withholding, and other operational considerations. Here’s a breakdown of how these factors impact final earnings:

  1. Product-Specific Profit Margins

    • Each product has a unique cost structure, which impacts the profit available per sale. For example, graphic tees and hoodies have different production and shipping costs, leading to variations in the remaining profit margin. Athlete Brands aims to provide athletes with a high percentage of this profit, ranging between 80% and 100%.

  2. Funds Withholding for Logistical Costs

    • Athlete Brands may withhold a small portion of funds temporarily to cover possible refunds, chargebacks, or delivery issues. This precaution ensures that unexpected expenses don’t impact the overall financial health of the program. When funds are withheld, athletes may receive closer to 80% of the profit to account for these potential costs.

  3. Upgrades and Quality Adjustments

    • Occasionally, Athlete Brands may retain a portion of funds to upgrade merchandise quality. For example, if a higher-quality material or print provider is needed to maintain standards, funds may be allocated for this improvement. Such adjustments ensure that items meet consumer expectations, preserving the brand’s reputation and supporting long-term sales.

  4. Variable Operational Costs

    • Additional factors, such as regional shipping costs or promotional discounts, might impact profit distribution. Athlete Brands actively works to minimize these variables but may adjust the final earnings percentage as necessary to balance these costs effectively.

Conclusion

Athletes generally receive 80-100% of the remaining profit after basic operational and quality assurance costs are accounted for. This flexible model allows Athlete Brands to deliver reliable payouts to athletes while maintaining service quality and ensuring successful order fulfillment.

By joining the NIL Merch Collection program, each athlete understands and consents to these terms, including the associated earnings distribution model and the possibility of funds being allocated for operational or quality control purposes.
