New York, New York – June 6, 2024 -- G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (NasdaqGS: GIII) today reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, ended April 30, 2024.
Morris Goldfarb, G-III’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We had a strong start to fiscal 2025, delivering first quarter earnings per diluted share well ahead of our expectations. Our performance was driven by double-digit increases in DKNY and Karl Lagerfeld along with a successful relaunch of Donna Karan, reflecting our commitment to investing in our owned brands and our ability to meet the ever-changing needs of our consumers. I am also excited to announce our partnership and investment in AWWG, a global fashion group and premier platform for iconic international brands, which furthers a number of our strategic priorities. Looking ahead, we remain cautiously optimistic and are reaffirming our fiscal year 2025 net sales and raising our guidance for net income per diluted share.”
Mr. Goldfarb concluded, “This morning’s announcement of the amendment and extension of our ABL credit facility further solidifies our financial position. With approximately $1 billion in cash and availability, we are well positioned to continue to invest in our brands and infrastructure to drive long-term growth and shareholder value.”
Results of Operations
First Quarter Fiscal 2025
Net sales for the first quarter ended April 30, 2024 were $609.7 million compared to $606.6 million in the prior year’s quarter. Net income for the first quarter was $5.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $3.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the prior year’s quarter.
Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.12 for the first quarter compared to $0.13 in the same period last year. There were no non-GAAP adjustments during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 excludes (i) expenses of $1.8 million related to the Karl Lagerfeld transaction that include incentive compensation and (ii) non-cash imputed interest expense of $1.8 million related to the note issued to seller as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Donna Karan International. The aggregate effect of these exclusions was equal to $0.06 per diluted share in last year’s first quarter.

Outlook
The Company today updated its outlook for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025. This outlook continues to anticipate approximately $60.0 million in incremental expenses, primarily associated with the launches of Donna Karan, Nautica and Halston. Approximately 65% of these expenses are related to marketing initiatives to support the Donna Karan and DKNY brands. The remaining costs are principally related to technology and talent to expand operational capabilities.
Fiscal 2025
For fiscal 2025, the Company expects net sales of approximately $3.20 billion and net income between $170.0 million and $175.0 million, or between $3.58 and $3.68 per diluted share. This compares to net sales of $3.10 billion and net income of $176.2 million, or $3.75 per diluted share, for fiscal 2024.
Non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2025 is expected to be between $170.0 million and $175.0 million, or between $3.58 and $3.68 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $189.8 million, or $4.04 per diluted share, for fiscal 2024.
Full-year adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2025 is expected to be between $295.0 million and $300.0 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $324.1 million in fiscal 2024.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2025
For the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company expects net sales of approximately $650.0 million compared to $659.8 million in the same period last year. Net income is expected to be in the range of $10.0 million and $15.0 million, or $0.22 and $0.32 per share. This compares to net income of $16.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in last year’s second quarter.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 is expected to be between $10.0 million and $15.0 million, or between $0.22 and $0.32 per share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $18.6 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
