New York, New York – June 6, 2023 -- G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (NasdaqGS: GIII), a global fashion leader with expertise in design, sourcing, and manufacturing, today announced operating results for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, ended April 30, 2023.

Morris Goldfarb, G-III’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we exceeded both our top and bottom line guidance with non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.13, exceeding the high end of our guidance. We made progress rightsizing our inventory position, which sequentially decreased by $80 million, while our gross margins were significantly better than last year’s first quarter. I am proud of how our team successfully navigated what remains a challenging environment.”

Mr. Goldfarb continued, “Aligned with our initiative to direct resources toward new growth opportunities, we are pleased to announce a licensing agreement with Xcel Brands for the American heritage fashion brand, Halston. This 25-year master licensing agreement allows G-III to design and produce all categories of product for Halston and provides an option to buy the brand at the end of the licensing term. This agreement represents our third substantial growth opportunity announced this year alongside the re-positioning and global expansion of Donna Karan and a long-term license for Nautica in North America. Development of our Donna Karan and Nautica initiatives is well underway.”

Mr. Goldfarb concluded, “G-III continues to deliver positive results and we are off to a good start to the new fiscal year. Looking ahead, we are optimistic about our business and, as a result, are raising our guidance. We remain focused on driving our key strategic priorities and continuing to develop new growth opportunities.”

expense of $1.8 million in this quarter related to the note issued to seller (the “Seller Note”) as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Donna Karan International compared to $1.7 million in the first quarter last year and (ii) expenses related to the Karl Lagerfeld transaction that include incentive compensation, professional fees and, in fiscal 2023, foreign currency losses of $1.8 million in this quarter compared to $4.2 million in the first quarter last year. The aggregate effect of these exclusions was equal to $0.06 per diluted share in the first quarter of this year and $0.10 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Halston License

G-III has signed a global twenty-five year master license agreement with Xcel Brands to design and produce all categories of men’s and women’s product for the Halston brand. The agreement provides for an initial term of five years, followed by a twenty-year period, as well as a purchase option at the end of the twenty-five year term. First deliveries of Halston product are expected for the Fall 2024 season. The product will be distributed globally through better department stores and digital channels. G-III believes that significant opportunity exists in the better women’s apparel space where G-III has significant expertise. The Halston brand joins G-III’s portfolio of some of the largest American brands in the world.

Outlook

The Company today raised its guidance for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024. The Company’s fiscal year 2024 guidance anticipates the expected impact from current levels of inflationary pressure on consumers and on the Company’s operations, as well as incremental costs associated with managing higher levels of inventory.

For fiscal 2024, the Company expects net sales of approximately $3.29 billion and net income between $125.0 million and $130.0 million, or between $2.65 and $2.75 per diluted share. This compares to net sales of $3.23 billion and a net loss of $(133.1) million, or $(2.79) per share, for fiscal 2023. Fiscal 2023 results include a $291.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, net of tax.

The Company is anticipating non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2024 between $132.0 million and $137.0 million, or between $2.80 and $2.90 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $138.8 million, or $2.85 per diluted share, for fiscal 2023.

The Company is projecting full-year adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2024 between $267.0 million and $272.0 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $266.1 million in fiscal 2023.

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company expects net sales of approximately $595.0 million compared to $605.2 million in the same period last year. The Company expects a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 in the range $(5.0) million and break even or between $(0.10) and $0.00 per share. This compares to net income of $36.3 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in last year’s second quarter.

The Company is anticipating non-GAAP results for second quarter of fiscal 2024 between a net loss of $(3.0) million and net income of $2.0 million, or between $(0.06) and $0.04 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $19.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in last year’s second quarter.
