New
York, New York September 1, 2010 G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (NasdaqGS: GIII) today
announced operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
The Company reported that, for the three months ended July 31, 2010, net sales increased by
39% to $189.0 million from $135.9 million in the second quarter last year. This increase was
stronger than expected and resulted primarily from increased wholesale sales of womens dresses,
sportswear and suits, as well as from higher sales by the Companys Wilsons retail outlet store
business.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 improved to $3.0 million, or $0.15 per
diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.17 per share, in the year-ago quarter.
This shift to profitability was driven by the increase in sales and improved margins in the
Companys wholesale and retail businesses.
Morris Goldfarb, G-IIIs Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, The impact of our
increasing diversification, both by product categories and brand, was demonstrable in the second
quarter. We now have built a dress and sportswear business that is shipping twelve months a year.
We are looking ahead to a strong second half of the year as a result of the combination of our
dress and sportswear business with our fall and winter outerwear business.
Mr. Goldfarb continued, Our Wilsons business is on track to show much improved results for
this year coming off an improved first half of the year. We believe that Wilsons is well positioned
for a strong second half of the year. We also are quite excited about our Calvin Klein handbags and
luggage launch, which we will begin shipping next year and will also further diversify our
business.
Mr. Goldfarb concluded, We have strong momentum going into the second half of the year with a
solid order book and a well balanced diversified business model which we believe will result in
continued growth in sales and profits.
Outlook
The Company has revised its expectations upward for its fiscal year ending January 31, 2011.
It is now forecasting net sales of approximately $1.025 billion compared to its prior forecast of
approximately $950.0 million of net sales and $800.9 million of net sales in the prior fiscal year.
The Company is now forecasting fiscal year 2011 net income in the range of $52.0 million to $54.0
million, or $2.60 to $2.70 per diluted share. This represents an increase from its prior guidance
for net income of $44.0 million to $46.0 million, or between $2.20 and $2.30 per diluted share, and
from net income of $31.7 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, in the prior fiscal year. The Company
is now forecasting EBITDA for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2011 to increase between 56% and
61% from fiscal 2010 to a range of $96.3 million to $99.3 million. The Company previously
forecasted EBITDA to increase approximately 35% to 40% from fiscal 2010 to a range of approximately
$83.3 million to $86.3 million, compared to EBITDA of $61.6 million in fiscal 2010. EBITDA should
be evaluated in light of the Companys financial results prepared in accordance with US GAAP. A
reconciliation of EBITDA to net income in accordance with US GAAP is included in a table
accompanying the condensed financial statements in this release.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which represents earnings before depreciation and
amortization, interest and financing charges, net, and income tax expense. EBITDA is being
presented as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is a common measure of
operating performance in the apparel industry. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to
net income as an indicator of the Companys operating performance, or as an alternative to cash
flows from operating activities as a measure of the Companys liquidity, as determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
