New York, New York – September 9, 2020 -- G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (NasdaqGS: GIII) today announced operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 ended July 31, 2020.

Morris Goldfarb, G-III’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The pandemic has had a major impact on the fashion industry and our second quarter results. Our customers now prefer casual, comfortable and functional attire. Through our broad range of brands and product categories, G-III is able to capitalize on these changing trends. We have reset our order book for the balance of the year and shifted our product assortment to athleisure, jeans, casual sportswear and coats.”

Mr. Goldfarb concluded, “We refinanced our balance sheet and extended the maturity of our revolving credit facility and term debt to 2025. In addition, the closure of Wilsons Leather and G.H. Bass stores, expected to be completed by the end of this fiscal year, will result in the elimination of significant operating losses. I am confident that as we navigate through the pandemic, our financial strength and dedicated management team will further advance our leadership position and set the stage for future market share gains.”

Net sales for the second quarter ended July 31, 2020 decreased 53.8% to $297.2 million from $643.9 million in the same period last year. The Company reported a net loss for the second quarter of $15.0 million, or $(0.31) per share, compared to net income of $11.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the prior year’s comparable period.

As previously announced, the Company is restructuring its retail operations segment, which includes permanently closing 110 Wilsons Leather and 89 G.H. Bass stores.  Like most retail stores, these stores were closed in mid-March in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and did not begin to reopen until June. Net sales for the second quarter ended July 31, 2020 for the Wilsons Leather and G.H. Bass portion of our retail operations segment were $19.7 million compared to $53.6 million in the same period last year.

Included in the Company’s net loss for the quarter are net losses from the Wilsons Leather and G.H. Bass operations of $25.6 million, or $(0.53) per share, compared to $6.3 million, or $(0.13) per share, in the prior year’s comparable period. The results for each period reflect direct store operations including impairment charges, but do not include any allocated corporate overhead charges, shared administrative expenses or shared distribution expenses. The results for the current period also include the impact of the pandemic and the commencement of the liquidation of the Wilsons Leather and G.H. Bass

Bass are presented solely to provide the historical operating results of the portion of the Company’s retail operations segment that is being restructured and are not intended to be used to develop expectations for future results of the Company or to indicate any future level of profitability of the Company.

Outlook

The Company expects net sales to decline in the range of 28% - 33% in the second half of its fiscal year compared to the same period last year. As the developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be fluid and there is significant uncertainty related to the impact of the pandemic, the Company is not currently providing any additional guidance.

The table above reflects the four wall operations of Wilsons Leather and G.H. Bass stores, which are included in the consolidated operating results of the Company. As part of our retail restructuring, we are in the process of closing all of these stores. The operations of these stores currently consist of liquidation sales that we anticipate will be completed before the end of the current fiscal year.  The results for this portion of our retail segment include impairment charges, but do not include any allocated corporate overhead charges, shared administrative expenses or shared distribution center expenses.  Corporate overhead charges, shared administrative expenses and shared distribution center expenses have been excluded as these expenses will continue to be incurred by the Company notwithstanding the restructuring of its retail operations segment. The Company continues to evaluate to what extent these expenses might be able to be reduced upon the completion of the restructuring. No interest expense has been allocated in calculating these operating results. The tax rate used assumes the same overall effective rate that is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The table above also reflects the results of operations of the Company’s four Calvin Klein Performance stores that are being closed as part of the retail restructuring. The operating results of the four Calvin Klein Performance stores are also included in the consolidated operating results of the Company.

(1) Includes $17.9 million, $(1.4) million, $16.9 million, and $(2.2) million of impairment charges, net of gains on lease modifications, recorded during the quarters ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, and the six month periods ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
