G-III Apparel net sales up 5.2% to $1.13 bn in FY20

“We are pleased to report third quarter results that exceeded our bottom-line expectations. We maintained good momentum in our wholesale business, in spite of the challenging retail and macro environment. Our merchants did a good job managing product costs, as we benefitted from accelerated inventory receipts and support from our Chinese vendor base to mitigate some of the impact of the tariffs that were imposed,” said Morris Goldfarb, G-III’s chairman and chief executive officer.  

“We remain focused on continuing to grow our business in multiple categories and elevating our position as a supplier-of-choice for our retail partners. We remain confident in our future growth expectations, powered by the strength of our global power brands: DKNY, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Karl Lagerfeld,” concluded Goldfarb.

For fiscal 2020, the company is now forecasting net sales of approximately $3.20 billion and net income between $147-$152 million, or between $3.01-$3.11 per diluted share. This compares to net sales of $3.08 billion and net income of $138.1 million, or $2.75 per diluted share for fiscal 2019.

The company is projecting full-year adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2020 between $283-$288 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $269.4 million in fiscal 2019.
