G-III Apparel reports Q4 EPS 76c, consensus 67c

Reports Q4 revenue $764.78M, consensus $817.48M. Inventories decreased 27% compared to last year. Morris Goldfarb, G-III’s chairman and CEO, said, “This year was important for G-III as we began to execute on our path for the future, while delivering strong profitability. We delivered strong growth with DKNY, Karl Lagerfeld and Vilebrequin, increasing penetration of our higher margin, owned brands to 47% of fiscal 2024 net sales, up from 40% last year. Our diverse business model and disciplined operating approach has allowed us to further strengthen our credit profile as we ended the year in a net cash position, with over a billion dollars in liquidity. We began to implement our new growth initiatives with the successful launch of our Donna Karan brand and the development of three new additions to our portfolio, Nautica, Halston and Champion outerwear, all of which we have recently brought to market with first deliveries in fiscal 2025.”
