Current report
In fiscal 2025, we entered into agreements for AWWG Investments B.V. (“AWWG”) to act as the official agent for DKNY, Donna Karan and Karl Lagerfeld across Spain and Portugal, as well as for our licensed Converse products in select countries.

Current report
Following the Supreme Court ruling, the current administration imposed a global tariff of 10% effective February 24, 2026, under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. The Section 122 tariff expired on July 24, 2026 following the expiration of the 150-day period authorized under Section 122. On May 7, 2026, the CIT ruled that the Section 122 tariffs exceeded the President’s authority. The government appealed the CIT’s decision, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stayed the CIT’s judgment pending resolution of the appeal.
Current report
Effective July 24, 2026, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (“USTR”) imposed additional tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on products imported from numerous countries. Subject to certain product exemptions, these tariffs include additional duties of 12.5% on products from China and Vietnam and 10% on products from Bangladesh. USTR also continues to pursue other Section 301 investigations involving various countries, including China, Vietnam and Bangladesh, which could result in additional tariffs or other trade restrictions.

While the elimination of IEEPA tariffs is expected to have a favorable impact on gross margin, the Section 301 tariffs that became effective in July 2026, as well as any additional tariffs or trade restrictions that may be imposed in the future, may
Current report
Recent typhoon activity across China and Vietnam has created significant disruption to ocean shipping throughout Asia. Repeated port closures and temporary terminal suspensions have interrupted vessel schedules, reduced terminal productivity and created vessel and container backlogs at several major export gateways. Shanghai and Ningbo have been particularly affected, as has the Hai Phong region of Vietnam. The series of typhoons has reduced schedule reliability across ocean shipping networks in Asia and is expected to result in longer transit times, an increased risk of cargo rollover, equipment and space constraints and downstream delays at destination ports as displaced vessel schedules move through the global network. Recovery at the most congested Chinese ports could take several weeks.
Current report
Net sales of our retail operations segment decreased to $39.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026 from $41.1 million in the same period last year. The decrease in net sales in our retail operations segment was primarily the result of the transition of our G.H. Bass digital business to a licensee during the current fiscal year. The number of retail stores operated by us was 47 at both July 31, 2026 and 2025. Comparable store sales, which include both stores and digital channels, increased for Donna Karan and DKNY compared to the same period in the prior year.
Current report
Income tax benefit was $6.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026 compared to income tax expense of $5.0 million for the same period last year. We recognized a negative effective tax rate of 43.5% in the current year’s quarter compared to a positive effective tax rate of 31.2% in last year’s comparable quarter. The negative effective tax rate in the current year period was driven by discrete items in the quarter, principally the release of a valuation allowance related to prior year impairments that have been determined to be deductible for tax purposes.

Tariff Refund
Current report
During the second quarter of fiscal 2027, we received approximately $129.7 million from the U.S. Department of Treasury related to our IEEPA tariff refund claim and approximately $4.2 million of statutory interest. As of July 31, 2026, approximately $9.8 million of our original tariff refund claim remains outstanding and is expected to be processed as part of CBP’s Phase 2 refund process.

Previous 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.

Tariff Refund Receivable
Previous 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.

(“AWWG”), an 18.7% owned investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting, report results on a calendar year basis rather than on the January 31 fiscal year basis used by G-III. Accordingly, the results of Vilebrequin, KLH, certain other subsidiaries and AWWG are included in the financial statements for the quarter ended or ending closest to G-III’s fiscal quarter end.

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.

While the elimination of IEEPA tariffs is expected to have a favorable impact on gross margin, the imposition of additional tariffs, including those under Section 122 and potential measures arising from Section 301 actions, may offset such benefits and could adversely affect our financial results. We continue to monitor these changing tariffs and trade restrictions. We are taking steps to mitigate the impact of new and increased tariffs by working with our long-standing vendors to participate in the increased costs, increasing prices where possible and continuing to look for alternative sourcing options.

We have attempted to respond to general trends in our industry by continuing to focus on selling products with recognized brand equity, by attention to design, quality and value and by improving our sourcing capabilities. We have also pursued several strategic opportunities, such as (i) our purchase of the interests not previously owned by us that resulted in Karl Lagerfeld becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary, (ii) new license agreements entered into by us, such as our recent license agreements for the Halston, Champion, Converse, BCBG and French Connection brands and (iii) our formation of a joint venture with WHP to acquire Marc Jacobs Holdings, LLC. Our actions added to our portfolio of licensed and proprietary brands and helped diversify our business by adding new product lines and expanding distribution channels. We believe that our broad distribution capabilities help us to respond to the various shifts by consumers between distribution channels and that our operational capabilities will enable us to continue to be a vendor of choice for our retail partners.

On June 13, 2025, we filed a complaint against PVH Corp. and two of its subsidiaries (“Defendants”) in the New York County Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and tortious interference with contract arising out of the unreasonable denial of our request to extend the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger licenses for the women’s suits category for an additional three-year period and other actions taken by Defendants that undermined our ability to perform under Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger license agreements and subjected us to contractual penalties. On July 30, 2025, Calvin Klein, Inc. and Tommy Hilfiger Licensing LLC filed their own complaint against G-III in the same court alleging breaches of the license agreements between the parties. We believe that Calvin Klein, Inc. and Tommy Hilfiger Licensing LLC’s complaint is without merit, and we intend to vigorously defend the Company. Due to the uncertainty inherent in any litigation, we are unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to this matter.

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.

We are monitoring the direct and indirect impacts from the military conflicts in Ukraine and the latest developments across 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.

The global supply chain continues to be negatively impacted by various factors, including the ongoing disruptions in the Middle East and the various tariffs imposed across all countries. The latest developments as it relates to Iran have added further uncertainty to our supply chain operations. Conflicts in the Middle East continue to cause major disruptions to global supply chains by impacting critical shipping routes through the Suez Canal and Red Sea for cargo, adding time and cost to shipments. To date, our business has not been significantly impacted by such disruptions, however we have experienced shipping delays impacting the timing of inventory receipts. These delays have not resulted in a significant loss of customer sales. If there is further escalation of these conflicts, it may negatively impact the timely receipt of inventory as well as increase our shipping costs. We will continue to monitor supply chain challenges and coordinate with our partners to divert or adjust routes and destinations accordingly to ensure timely delivery of our product.

We source substantially all of our products from a global network of independent, third-party manufacturers, primarily located in Asia.
