Marc Jacobs Acquisition and License
Current report
On May 14, 2026, we entered into certain agreements relating to the acquisition of the Marc Jacobs business (the “Marc Jacobs Acquisition”) from LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton Inc. and its affiliates (“LVMH”). The transaction is structured such that (i) MJ Topco, LLC (“IPCo”), a newly formed joint venture between a subsidiary of the Company and an affiliate of WHP Global (“WHP”), will acquire all of the issued and outstanding units of Marc Jacobs Holdings, LLC through a wholly owned indirect subsidiary, Majestic AcqCo, LLC, (ii) following such acquisition, we will acquire the Marc Jacobs operating business through our subsidiaries, and (iii) IPCo will retain the Marc Jacobs intellectual property and certain other retained assets. We will fund our approximately $500 million investment using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We will operate the business pursuant to a license from IPCo. Subject to closing, the license agreement will provide an exclusive right to use the Marc Jacobs brand in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Western Europe for the distribution, promotion and sale of specified product categories, including women’s and men’s apparel, handbags, footwear, swim, small leather goods, luggage and cold weather accessories, through wholesale channels, branded retail stores and branded e-commerce sites. The initial term of the license agreement is from the effective date through December 2041, and we have 10 successive options to renew the license agreement for periods of 5 years.

French Connection License Agreement
Current report
Effective February 2026, we entered into a license agreement with French Connection Limited to design and produce women’s and men’s apparel (subject to certain exclusions), women’s and men’s outerwear, handbags and men’s footwear under the French Connection brand. The license agreement includes an initial term of five-years with an option to renew for an additional five-year term. The products produced under this license agreement are expected to be distributed in North America through our diversified distribution network, including premier department stores, digital channels, as well as other channels. First deliveries of our French Connection product began in February 2026 for Spring 2026. We believe that significant opportunity exists in the categories subject to this license agreement where we have strong expertise, and the products expected to be produced align with G-III’s core competencies.
Current report
In February 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled against the current administration’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) to impose certain tariffs levied since February 2025. Pursuant to a court order on March 4, 2026 from the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) directing the refund of such tariffs, including applicable interest, on April 20, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) launched the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (“CAPE”) system to facilitate refund claims, to which we have successfully submitted our refund claim. The timing of cash receipts for tariff refunds remains dependent upon the processing of refund claims by CBP and the U.S. Department of Treasury.
Current report
Following the Supreme Court ruling, the current administration announced a new global tariff of 10% effective February 24, 2026, under Section 122 Trade Act of 1974 which will expire in 150 days unless renewed by Congress. On May 7, 2026, the CIT ruled that the Section 122 tariffs exceeded the President’s authority and is currently under review in the Court of Appeals, with a decision anticipated by Fall 2026. While the court's opinion invalidated the tariffs, it only provided injunctive relief for the specific plaintiffs involved in the lawsuit. Because the government appealed the decision, CBP continues to collect these duties at ports of entry. Depending on that outcome, the matter could proceed to the Supreme Court. Additionally, the administration initiated additional trade actions, including investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, that may result in further tariffs.
Current report
In December 2022, the Council of the European Union (“EU”) announced that EU member states reached an agreement to implement the minimum tax component of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”) international tax reform initiative, known as Pillar Two. The Pillar Two Model Rules provide for a global minimum tax of 15% for multinational enterprise groups (“MNEs”) and was effective beginning fiscal 2025. In January 2026, the OECD introduced a side-by-side agreement in which U.S.-parented MNEs are exempt from certain aspects of the global minimum tax. This agreement is effective for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2027, but is subject to adoption by each jurisdiction. While these rules are not expected to have a material impact on our effective tax rate or financial results for fiscal 2027, we continue to monitor our operations and evolving tax legislation in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
Current report
Gross profit was $347.7 million, or 64.9% of net sales, for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared to $246.5 million, or 42.2% of net sales, in the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in our wholesale operations segment was 63.8% in the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to 40.4% in the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in the current year period was positively impacted by a benefit of $102.7 million recognized in cost of goods sold related to the expected recovery of previously incurred IEEPA tariffs on inventory sold in the prior year. Excluding the impact of the IEEPA tariff benefit, the gross profit percentage in our wholesale operations segment was 43.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2026, which was positively impacted by price increases as well as a shift in product mix to owned brands in which we recognize higher gross profit percentages compared to licensed brands. The gross profit percentage in our retail operations segment was 48.0% for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to 53.5% for the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in the current year period was negatively impacted by increased promotional activity.
Current report
Tariff Refund Receivable
Current report
As of April 30, 2026, the Company recognized a receivable of $139.5 million related to the expected refund of tariffs previously paid under the IEEPA, following recent legal developments, including a ruling by the United States Supreme Court and subsequent actions by the U.S. Court of International Trade directing the refund of such tariffs, including applicable interest. While we assessed that the recovery of previously paid IEEPA tariffs is probable based on currently available information, the timing of cash receipts remains dependent upon the processing of refund claims by CBP and the U.S. Department of Treasury.
Current report
We used $2.0 million in cash from operating activities during the three months ended April 30, 2026, representing a decrease of $95.8 million from $93.8 million of cash generated from operating activities during the three months ended April 30, 2025. This decrease is primarily driven by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $158.8 million, partially offset by an increase in our net income of $58.8 million. The $158.8 million decrease in changes in operating asset and liabilities balances was primarily driven by the following:

Previous report
Additional tariffs imposed on imports are causing importers to shift production, if possible, to lower tariff territories, impacting the importers’ ability to plan as well as the capacity of our ocean carriers. The recent changes to tariffs are increasing costs for importers, impacting demand and affecting ocean container shipping due to limited alternatives for moving goods.

Political Environment
Previous report
The potential long-term impact of new policies that may be implemented as a result of the current administration is currently uncertain. Any resulting changes in international trade relations, legislation and regulations (including those related to taxation and importation), economic and monetary policies, heightened diplomatic tensions or political and civil unrest, among other potential impacts, could adversely impact the global economy and our operating results.
Previous report
Gross profit was $381.5 million, or 38.6% of net sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared to $432.1 million, or 39.8% of net sales, in the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in our wholesale operations segment was 36.7% in the three months ended October 31, 2025 compared to 38.4% in the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in the current year period decreased due to the impact of tariffs. The gross profit percentage in our retail operations segment was 50.8% for the three months ended October 31, 2025 compared to 52.3% for the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in the current year period was negatively impacted by tariffs and reduced gross profit from digital sales of our G.H. Bass products. The G.H. Bass digital business will be transitioning to a licensee in the next fiscal year.
Previous report
In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded $1.6 million of asset impairments in our wholesale operations segment. This charge was primarily related to the write-off of assets related to an e-commerce platform that was replaced by a new platform.
Previous report
Interest and financing charges, net, for the three months ended October 31, 2025 were $0.2 million compared to $6.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease in interest and financing charges was primarily due to a $3.6 million decrease in interest charges resulting from the redemption of the entire $400 million principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes due 2025 in August 2024 and a $1.6 million charge to interest expense from extinguished debt issuance costs upon the redemption of the Notes recognized in the prior year’s third quarter.

Nine months ended October 31, 2025 compared to nine months ended October 31, 2024
Previous report
Gross profit was $878.5 million, or 40.2% of net sales, for the nine months ended October 31, 2025, compared to $966.9 million, or 41.3% of net sales, in the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in our wholesale operations segment was 38.3% in the nine months ended October 31, 2025 compared to 39.8% in the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in the current period decreased primarily due to the impact of tariffs. The gross profit percentage in our retail operations segment was 52.1% for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 compared to 51.1% for the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in the current period was positively impacted from an improved product assortment as well as increased digital sales of our Donna Karan products which have higher average unit retail prices.
Previous report
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $718.8 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2025 from $724.9 million in the same period last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses of our wholesale operations segment decreased to $651.7 million from $658.6 million in the comparable period last year. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to decreases of (i) $12.9 million in compensation expenses, primarily due to a decrease in bonus expense accruals and (ii) $8.5 million in advertising expenses, primarily due to the relaunch of the Donna Karan brand and higher spending on the DKNY brand in the prior year’s period and reduced royalty advertising expenses resulting from lower net sales of licensed product in the current period. These decreases were offset in part by increases of (i) $8.4 million in professional fees related to consulting fees related to new technologies, a potential strategic opportunity that did not come to fruition and legal fees and (ii) $3.3 million in bad debt expense primarily related to allowances recorded against the outstanding receivables of certain customers due to bankruptcy, including Hudson’s Bay Company. Selling, general and administrative expenses of our retail operations segment increased to $67.1 million from $66.2 million in the comparable period last year.

Depreciation and amortization was $21.1 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 compared to $20.7 million in the same period last year.

Previous report
Income tax expense was $41.6 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 compared to $57.9 million for the same period last year. Our effective tax rate increased to 29.5% in the current year’s period from 28.6% in last year’s comparable period. The higher effective tax rate in the current year period was primarily due to the impact of permanent tax adjustments on the annual effective tax rate.

Senior Secured Notes
Previous report
In August 2024, we used cash on hand and borrowings from our revolving credit facility to voluntarily redeem the entire $400.0 million principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. At the date of redemption, we had unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.6 million associated with the Notes. These debt issuance costs were fully extinguished and charged to interest expense in our results of operations.
Previous report
We generated $71.6 million in cash from operating activities during the nine months ended October 31, 2025, primarily as a result of our net income of $99.3 million and increases of $108.7 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses
Previous report
and $17.5 million in income taxes payable, net. We also generated cash from operating activities as a result of non-cash charges relating primarily to depreciation and amortization of $21.1 million and share-based compensation of $17.0 million. These items were offset, in part, by increases of $147.0 million in accounts receivable and $69.0 million in inventories.
Previous report
The changes in operating cash flow items are consistent with our seasonal pattern of higher sales and building up inventory for the fall shipping season resulting in the increases in accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable. The fall shipping season begins during the latter half of our second fiscal quarter. The increase in accounts receivable during the nine months ended October 31, 2025 was less than the increase in accounts receivable during the nine months ended October 31, 2024 as a result of a decline in net sales and an increase in collections of receivables in the current year period.

Beginning in April 2025, the United States announced additional tariffs on goods imported into the United States, with incremental tariffs on products imported from most countries, including China, Vietnam and Indonesia, and the potential for further increases and revisions or terminations to existing trade agreements. In response, some countries have announced or are otherwise considering retaliatory tariffs on United States exports and other trade restrictions. These actions have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. During fiscal 2025, approximately 76% of our product was sourced from China, Vietnam and Indonesia.

While our recent ability to offset decreases in net sales of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger licensed products either in full or in part does not guarantee our ability to continue to do so in the future, we believe we will achieve strong growth of our owned brands, which we also recognize higher gross profit percentages on. We continue to take strategic actions to mitigate the loss of this business by continuing to develop and expand our owned brands, such as DKNY, Donna Karan and Karl Lagerfeld, through new product lines, marketing initiatives, international growth and executing on digital channel business opportunities.

The Federal Reserve increased interest rates several times in fiscal 2024 in response to concerns about inflation. The Federal Reserve decreased interest rates in both fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026, however it is unclear whether the Federal Reserve will reduce, increase or maintain the current rates in the future. Higher interest rates increase the cost of our borrowing under our revolving credit facility, may increase economic uncertainty and may negatively affect consumer spending. Volatility in interest rates may adversely affect our business or our customers. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain in a timely manner or on favorable terms, or at all.

We are monitoring the direct and indirect impacts from the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. These international conflicts and the continued threat of terrorism, heightened security measures and military action in response to acts of terrorism or civil unrest have disrupted commerce and intensified concerns regarding the United States and world economies. Our sales in Russia, Ukraine and Israel are not material to our financial results. However, the imposition of additional sanctions by the United States and/or foreign governments, as well as the sanctions already in place, could lead to restrictions related to sales and our supply chain for which the financial impact is uncertain. In addition, the continuation or escalation of these international conflicts, including the potential for additional countries to declare war against each other, may lead to further, broader unfavorable macroeconomic conditions, including unfavorable foreign exchange rates, increases in fuel prices, food shortages, a weakening of the worldwide economy, lower consumer demand and volatility in financial markets. The possible effects of these international conflicts could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

Interest and financing charges, net, for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 were $0.4 million compared to $16.7 million in the same period last year. The decrease in interest and financing charges was primarily due to a $19.3 million decrease in interest charges resulting from the redemption of the entire $400 million principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes due 2025 in August 2024 and a $1.6 million charge to interest expense from extinguished debt issuance costs upon the redemption of the Notes recognized in the prior period last year.

Net sales of our wholesale operations segment decreased to $2.13 billion for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 from $2.28 billion in the comparable period last year. We sell a broad range of products at varying price points and deliver newly designed products each year. In addition, we have certain revenues, primarily from royalty revenues, that are not based on our shipping units of product. In total, our decrease in sales was driven by a decrease in the number of units we shipped. The decrease in net sales of our wholesale operations segment was primarily the result of decreases in net sales of $209.4 million of our Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger licensed products, due in part to several expired licenses that are not part of our go-forward business, as well as in third-party private label products. These decreases were partially offset by increases in net sales of $58.6 million of our Karl Lagerfeld, DKNY and Donna Karan products. The increase in sales of Karl Lagerfeld products was primarily related to sportswear, shoes and men’s outerwear categories. The increase in sales of DKNY products was primarily related to outerwear, jeanswear and performance categories. The increase in sales of Donna Karan products was primarily related to the dress, handbags and sportswear categories.
