(NasdaqGS: GIII) (“G-III” or the “Company”) today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, ended July 31, 2025. Morris Goldfarb, G-III’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the second quarter, we exceeded expectations across both net sales and earnings, driven by the strong momentum of our go-forward portfolio, led by DKNY, Donna Karan, Karl Lagerfeld, and Vilebrequin. These results highlight our ability to execute on our strategic priorities and leverage our powerful corporate platform to maximize the full potential of our globally recognized brands.” Mr. Goldfarb concluded, “Looking ahead, we have updated fiscal 2026 guidance to reflect the current macro environment, a more cautious outlook from our retail partners, as well as the impact of tariffs on our top and bottom lines. We are actively mitigating tariff pressures through a combination of vendor participation, selective sourcing shifts, and targeted price increases. I am confident in our ability to successfully navigate the challenging environment and responsibly exit the expiring licenses. Our strong balance sheet and dynamic business model provides the flexibility to invest in our brands as well as pursue strategic opportunities to drive long-term growth and shareholder value.” Results of Operations Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Net sales for the second quarter ended July 31, 2025 decreased 5% to $613.3 million compared to $644.8 million in the prior year’s quarter. Net income for the second quarter ended July 31, 2025 was $10.9 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $24.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in the prior year’s quarter. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.25 for the second quarter ended July 31, 2025 compared to $0.52 in the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share excludes (i) in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, $0.3 million in one-time severance expenses related to a closed warehouse and (ii) in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, a ($0.6) million gain on the forgiveness of certain liabilities related to the acquisition of the minority interest of our DKNY business in China that we did not already own. The effect of these exclusions had no impact on earnings per diluted share in the second quarter of this year and was equal to ($0.01) per diluted share in last year’s second quarter. Balance Sheet as of Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Inventories increased 5% to $639.8 million this year compared to $610.5 million last year. Total debt decreased 96% to $15.5 million this year compared to $414.0 million last year. In August 2024, we voluntarily redeemed the entire $400.0 million principal amount of our senior secured notes (the “Notes”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. The payment was made with cash on hand and borrowings from the revolving credit facility. Capital Allocation Share repurchases of 1,140,988 for $24.6 million were made in the second quarter ended July 31, 2025. Outlook The Company has provided guidance for fiscal 2026, which reflects the current macro environment, a more cautious outlook from our retail partners, as well as the impact of tariffs on our top and bottom lines. Based on current tariff rates, the Company anticipates a total incremental tariff cost of approximately $155 million. This has been partially offset through vendor participation, strategic sourcing shifts and targeted price increases. The remaining unmitigated impact, reflected in fiscal 2026 guidance, is estimated at $75 million, primarily weighted to the second half of the year. In addition, the Company today provided its outlook for its third quarter ending October 31, 2025. Fiscal 2026 Net sales are expected to be approximately $3.02 billion. This compares to net sales of $3.18 billion for fiscal 2025. Net income is expected to be between $112.0 million and $122.0 million, or diluted earnings per share between $2.53 and $2.73. This compares to net income of $193.6 million, or $4.20 per diluted share, for fiscal 2025. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2026 is expected to be between $113.0 million and $123.0 million, or diluted earnings per share between $2.55 and $2.75. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $203.6 million, or diluted earnings per share of $4.42 for fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2026 is expected to be between $198.0 million and $208.0 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $325.9 million in fiscal 2025. Net interest expense is expected to be approximately $5.0 million. Tax rate for fiscal 2026 is estimated to be 29.9%.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to be between $62.0 million and $72.0 million, or diluted earnings per share between $1.43 and $1.63.
