Current report

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.

Previous report

Conflicts in the Middle East have caused 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. Recent strike actions in the United States caused importers to shift goods from East Coast ports to the West Coast creating congestion at West Coast ports, as well as through Canadian ports. European ports are also experiencing congestion due to the disruption of timing and arrivals due to Red Sea diversions. This congestion has continued in the first half of fiscal 2026.

In April 2025, the United States imposed a minimum 10% tariff on most foreign imports into the United States and additional individualized reciprocal tariffs on imports from certain countries. The tariffs most relevant to us include, but are not limited to, (i) an additional 125% tariff on all imports from China resulting in a total incremental tariff of 145%, (ii) an additional 46% tariff on imports from Vietnam and (iii) an additional 32% tariff on imports from Indonesia. During fiscal 2025, approximately 76% of our product was sourced from China, Vietnam and Indonesia. Implementation of these reciprocal tariffs has been temporarily paused with partial tariffs levied. Tariffs levied on China have been reduced from 145% to 30% for a 90 day period beginning in May 2025, while all remaining countries on which tariffs have been imposed have a temporary tariff of 10% for a 90 day period that began in April 2025. We are continuing to monitor developments with respect to these policy changes and proposals, as well as exploring options to mitigate potential impacts of tariffs, including diversifying our sourcing mix, reducing product costs, and evaluating the potential for price increases.

Reciprocal tariffs on countries other than China went into effect in August 2025. The current tariff rates for Vietnam and Indonesia are 20% and 19%, respectively.

Previous wording

As a result of the tariffs levied on China, we had suspended substantially all shipments from China. With the current administration’s announcement that the tariffs on imports from China have been paused, we are resuming shipping from China on a selective basis. We anticipate that other importers are experiencing similar circumstances and, as a result, we expect challenges in shipping goods from China. Ocean carriers have cancelled sailings and have removed vessels from service resulting in limited capacity which may cause delays in booking and shipping product as well as elevated ocean freight charges.

Current wording

As a result of the initial tariffs levied on China, we had suspended substantially all shipments from China. With the administration’s announcement that the tariffs on imports from China had been paused, we resumed shipping from China. Ocean carriers, which had previously cancelled sailings and removed vessels from service, had returned to full capacity at the time shipping resumed, resulting in minimal disruption. Freight charges were negatively impacted for a short period of time but have since stabilized.

Previous wording

Additional tariffs imposed on imports from China are causing importers to shift production to lower tariff territories, further impacting ocean carrier’s capacities. The recent changes to tariffs are increasing costs for importers, impacting demand and affecting ocean container shipping due to limited alternatives for moving goods.

A number of retailers have experienced financial difficulties, which in some cases have resulted in bankruptcies, liquidations and/or store closings, such as the recent bankruptcy filing by Hudson’s Bay Company. The financial difficulties of a retail customer of ours could result in reduced business with that customer. We may also assume higher credit risk relating to receivables of a retail customer experiencing financial difficulty that could result in higher reserves for doubtful accounts or increased write-offs of accounts receivable. We attempt to mitigate credit risk from our customers by closely monitoring accounts receivable balances and shipping levels, as well as the ongoing financial performance and credit standing of customers.

We also recognize higher gross profit percentages on sales of products under our owned brands. 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. We will 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. We also seek to expand sales in our go-forward portfolio of licensed brands, including our team sports business, as well as through our recent licenses for the Nautica, Halston and Champion brands that launched in fiscal 2025 and the Converse and BCBG brands that will launch in fiscal 2026.

The Federal Reserve increased interest rates several times in fiscal 2024 in response to concerns about inflation. The Federal Reserve began to decrease interest rates in fiscal 2025, 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.

The imposition of tariffs by the U.S. government and certain foreign jurisdictions, along with geopolitical tensions, have created an uncertain environment for global trade. As the impact of new or increased tariffs, quotas, embargoes or other trade barriers that could impact our supply chain and cost structure is dependent on global trade negotiations, we continue to monitor these changing tariffs and trade restrictions. We source all of our products from a global network of independent, third-party manufacturers, primarily located in Asia. The United States announced a temporary reduction in tariffs on imports from China for a 90 day period beginning in May 2025. As importers seek to resume shipping activity during this period, we anticipate challenges in shipping goods from China due to limited capacity available on ocean carriers, resulting in delays in shipping product and elevated ocean freight charges.

The gross profit percentage in our wholesale operations segment was 40.4% in the three months ended April 30, 2025 compared to 40.9% in the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in the current year period decreased due to product mix, partially offset by an increased proportion ofsales of product related to our owned brands which have no royalty costs.

These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $2.9 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 $21.8 million from $21.0 million in the comparable period last year.

The decrease in expenses was primarily due to decreases of (i) $10.4 million in compensation expenses, primarily due to a decrease in bonus expense accruals and (ii) $7.3 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 partially offset by increases of (i) $3.2 million in third-party warehouse and facility expenses and (ii) $2.8 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 $42.7 million from $42.6 million in the comparable period last year.
