New York, New York – March 16, 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 fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended January 31, 2023.
Morris Goldfarb, G-III’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In fiscal year 2023, we made significant progress on our strategic priorities as we leveraged G-III’s expertise and agility to capture a number of opportunities, despite a challenging environment. We successfully shifted our category focus based on market demand and expanded our brand ownership and global reach with our Karl Lagerfeld acquisition. For fiscal year 2023, we registered net sales of $3.23 billion, up 17% to the prior year and we reported non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $2.85.”
Mr. Goldfarb continued, “We have been directing resources toward several new opportunities and are pleased to announce two new initiatives: the re-positioning and expansion of the Donna Karan brand and a new long-term license with Authentic Brands Group for Nautica. Donna Karan and Nautica are two of the most recognized American lifestyle brands with significant opportunity in the women’s space. Our track record of having successfully grown major brands to more than $3 billion in net sales today, gives us confidence in our ability to unlock the potential of both Donna Karan and Nautica.”
Mr. Goldfarb concluded, “G-III has a proven ability to successfully drive our business forward in an ever-changing landscape, as well as being a partner of choice for brands and retailers. We ended fiscal year 2023 in a strong financial position with approximately $750 million in cash and availability. We remain confident and optimistic about the long-term runway for profitable future growth for G-III.”

The Company reported a net loss for the fiscal year of $(133.1) million, or $(2.79) per share, compared to net income of $200.6 million, or $4.05 per diluted share, in the prior year. This year’s results include a $291.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, net of tax, equivalent to $6.12 per share.
Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $2.85 for this year compared to $4.20 in the same period last year.
Net sales for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2023 increased 14.2% to $854.4 million from $748.2 million in the prior year’s quarter. The Company reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of $(261.1) million, or $(5.54) per share, compared to net income of $48.4 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in the prior year’s quarter.

Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.41 for the fourth quarter of this year compared to $1.06 in the same period last year.
New Developments
Donna Karan
In December 2016, the Company acquired the DKNY and Donna Karan brands, two of the most iconic American fashion brands. The Company initially re-positioned and re-launched DKNY and has successfully grown the brand to approximately $600 million in net sales.
Donna Karan has been a small business to date and the Company is now focused on the re-positioning and expansion of the brand for Spring 2024. The new Donna Karan will be a modern system of dressing created to appeal to a woman’s senses on every level, addressing the full lifestyle needs of a new consumer. It is expected to be distributed in better department stores, digital channels and our own Donna Karan website in North America and internationally.
Recent market research has shown that Donna Karan is widely considered a top fashion brand and is recognized as one of the most famous designer names in American fashion. We believe this indicates that consumer demand exists for the brand. This, along with our success with the DKNY brand, reinforces the opportunity to capture market share.
Nautica
G-III has signed a long-term license with Authentic Brands Group for the Nautica brand in North America. Since being acquired in 2018 by Authentic Brands Group, Nautica’s relevance has expanded globally, and it has become one of their marquee brands. Celebrating its 40-year anniversary, Nautica is available in approximately 1,300 freestanding stores and shop-in-shops globally, along with a strong digital presence across more than 30 countries.
2
G-III will produce across a number of categories, starting with jeans, which also includes a full range of corresponding product, and then expanding in a phased approach into additional categories including sportswear, suit separates and dresses. The new five-year license agreement, effective beginning in January 2024, includes three extensions, for five years each. First deliveries are expected to hit the floor in January 2024. The product will be distributed in better department stores, digital channels and Nautica stores and website in North America and franchised stores globally. G-III believes that significant opportunity exists in the better women’s apparel space in categories where G-III has strong expertise. The brand joins G-III’s portfolio of some of the largest American brands in the world.
Outlook
The Company today issued 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 $3.23 billion and net income between $117.0 million and $122.0 million, or between $2.40 and $2.50 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 $125.0 million and $130.0 million, or between $2.55 and $2.65 per diluted share.
The Company is projecting full-year adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2024 between $248.0 million and $253.0 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $266.1 million in fiscal 2023.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company expects net sales of approximately $560.0 million compared to $688.8 million in the same period last year. Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 is expected to be in the range $(10.0) million and $(5.0) million, or $(0.20) and $(0.10) per share. This compares to net income of $30.6 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, in last year’s first quarter.
The Company is anticipating non-GAAP net loss for first quarter of fiscal 2024 between $(7.0) million and $(2.0) million, or between $(0.15) and $(0.05) per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $35.2 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in last year’s first quarter.
