Read MoreHide Full Article

G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (GIII - Free Report) is likely to report top and bottom-line growth year over year when it releases first-quarter fiscal 2023 results on Jun 7, before market open. The consensus mark for quarterly revenues is pegged at $601.4 million, indicating an increase of 15.7% from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s tally.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in the fiscal first quarter currently stands at 57 cents, which implies growth of 7.6% from the year-ago fiscal period’s reported figure. The consensus estimate has been stable in the past 30 days.

A glimpse of G-III Apparel’s performance in the trailing four quarters shows that it has an earnings surprise of 160.6%, on average.

Key Factors to Note

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

GIII 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 net sales of nearly $600 million for the fiscal first quarter, indicating growth from $519.9 million recorded in the year-earlier fiscal quarter. GIII envisioned adjusted earnings per share of 50-60 cents for the quarter under review.

On the flip side, supply-chain headwinds, higher shipping costs and delays in the receipt of goods might have been headwinds. Increased freight costs are also likely to have remained deterrents.
