Analysis
G-III reported a mixed second quarter. Net sales decreased 10% to $554.1 million from $613.3 million, but the Company said its go-forward portfolio grew at a high-single digit rate. The overall sales decline sits alongside the Company’s stated transition away from Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger products, with fiscal 2027 guidance incorporating the loss of approximately $460 million of sales from those products.
Margin was the key operating offset. GAAP gross margin increased 440 basis points to 45.2% from 40.8%, which the Company attributed to price increases and a mix shift toward higher-margin owned brands. GAAP gross profit was $250,381 (In thousands), compared with $250,471 (In thousands), while selling, general and administrative expenses were $231,354 (In thousands), compared with $226,845 (In thousands), and operating profit was $10,832 (In thousands), compared with $16,300 (In thousands).
GAAP net income was $20.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, versus $10.9 million, or $0.25 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.26 compared with $0.25. The reconciliation identifies a $4,032 (In thousands) expense related to the Marc Jacobs acquisition and a $9,334 (In thousands) tax benefit from release of a valuation allowance among the items affecting GAAP and non-GAAP results. For the six months ended July 31, GAAP net income was $86,747 (In thousands), while non-GAAP net income was $2,753 (In thousands), reflecting in part the IEEPA tariff-refund items in the reconciliation.
The balance sheet showed $529.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and total debt of 7,835 (in thousands) at July 31, 2026. Inventories decreased 13% to $555.0 million, and the Company returned $12.2 million to shareholders through $7.9 million of share repurchases and $4.3 million in dividend payments. The Company also completed the Marc Jacobs acquisition, expects it to be slightly dilutive in fiscal 2027, and stated that the transaction is expected to be dilutive during the first 12 months after closing before accretion thereafter.
Management raised fiscal 2027 GAAP and non-GAAP earnings guidance, excluding Marc Jacobs, and guided fiscal 2027 net sales to approximately $2.71 billion, GAAP diluted earnings per share to $4.10 to $4.20, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to $2.20 to $2.30. The outlook assumes tariffs approximate current rates and excludes Marc Jacobs. Third-quarter guidance calls for approximately $870.0 million of net sales and GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.35 to $1.45, compared with $988.6 million of net sales, $1.84 of GAAP diluted earnings per share, and $1.90 of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in last year's third quarter.
