Key Factors to Note

G-III Apparel’s quarterly performance is most likely to have been driven by solid gains from digital business and brand strength. Management is focused on driving growth across the digital landscape via investments in internal talent, e-commerce sites and improved logistics capabilities.

Speaking of its portfolio, G-III Apparel is quite optimistic about its five global power brands, including DKNY, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Karl Lagerfeld Paris. GIII is also benefiting from assortments and products resonating well with consumer demand. Additionally, GIII’s strategic licensing agreements and international business remain positives.

All the aforesaid tailwinds are expected to have boosted G-III Apparel’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. On its last earnings call, management had projected fiscal 2022 net sales of $2.77 billion compared with sales of $2.06 billion recorded last fiscal year. GIII envisioned net income of $180-$190 million and earnings per share of $3.65-$3.75 for fiscal 2022. Management cited that this outlook contemplates the anticipated impact of the ongoing supply-chain conditions, with higher shipping costs and delays in receipt of goods.
