NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As used in these financial statements, the term “Company” or “G-III” refers to G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The Company designs, sources, distributes and markets an extensive range of apparel, including outerwear, dresses, sportswear, suit separates, athleisure, jeans, swimwear, as well as handbags, footwear, small leather goods, cold weather accessories and luggage. The Company also operates retail stores and licenses its proprietary brands under several product categories.

The Company consolidates the accounts of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s DKNY and Donna Karan business in China is operated by Fabco Holding B.V. (“Fabco”), a Dutch joint venture limited liability company that was 75% owned by the Company through April 16, 2024 and was treated as a consolidated majority-owned subsidiary. Effective April 17, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 25% interest in Fabco that it did not previously own and, as a result, Fabco began being treated as a wholly-owned subsidiary. AWWG Investments B.V. (“AWWG”) is a Dutch corporation that was 12.1% owned by the Company from May 3, 2024 through July 18, 2024 and was accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Effective July 19, 2024, the Company acquired an additional 6.6% minority interest in AWWG, increasing its total ownership interest to 18.7% and, as a result, AWWG began being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“KLH”), a Dutch limited liability company that is wholly-owned by the Company, Vilebrequin International SA (“Vilebrequin”), a Swiss corporation that is wholly-owned by the Company, Sonia Rykiel, a Swiss corporation that is wholly-owned by the Company, Fabco and AWWG report results on a calendar year basis rather than on the January 31 fiscal year basis used by the Company. Accordingly, the results of KLH, Vilebrequin, Sonia Rykiel, Fabco and AWWG are included in the financial statements for the quarter ended or ending closest to the Company’s fiscal quarter end. For example, with respect to the Company’s results for the three-month period ended April 30, 2025, the results of KLH, Vilebrequin, Sonia Rykiel, Fabco and AWWG are included for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s retail operations segment reports on a 52/53 week fiscal year. For fiscal 2026 and 2025, the three-month periods for the retail operations segment were each 13-week periods, respectively, and ended on May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024, respectively.

The results for the three months ended April 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year, given the seasonal nature of the Company’s business. The accompanying financial statements included herein are unaudited. All adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented have been reflected.

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar (reporting currency), are translated from the foreign currency into U.S. dollars at period-end rates, while income and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates for the period. The related translation adjustments are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity.
