For: G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. Contact: Investor Relations James Palczynski (203) 222-9013 .. G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. Wayne S. Miller, Chief Financial Officer (212) 403-0500 G-III APPAREL GROUP, LTD. ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR FISCAL 2004 RESULTS --NET SALES FOR THE YEAR INCREASE 10.6 % TO $224.1 MILLION-- --NET INCOME FOR THE YEAR IS $8.4 MILLION, OR $1.14 PER SHARE-- New York, New York - March 30, 2004 -- G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (NASDAQ: GIII) today announced operating results for the three and twelve-month periods ended January 31, 2004. For the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2004, net sales increased by 10.6% to $224.1 million compared to $202.7 million last year. The Company reported net income of $8.4 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended January 31, 2004 compared to net income of $382,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, last year. For the three-month period ended January 31, 2004, G-III reported net sales of $34.5 million compared to $47.7 million during the same period last year. The Company reported a net loss of $3.1 million, or ($0.44) per share, for the three-month period, compared to a net loss of $4.5 million, or ($0.66) per share, during the same period last year. The results for the three and twelve-month periods ended January 31, 2003 included charges aggregating $4.1 million ($3.4 million on an after-tax basis) in connection with the closing of the Company's manufacturing facility in Indonesia. In addition, included in the results for the prior year are after-tax operating losses at our Indonesian facility, prior to its closedown, of approximately $1.8 million. Morris Goldfarb, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, "We are pleased with our results for the full year. The primary driver of the results was a strong performance of our sports apparel, but we were also pleased with the performance of a number of our other brands, particularly Sean Jean and Cole Haan. While the retail environment remained challenging, we achieved our financial plan and ended the year with a strong balance sheet." For the full year, gross profit percentage improved to 27.6% from 24.3% in the prior year due to increased sales of higher margin sports apparel. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales during the fourth quarter decreased to 12.9% from 20.2% in the fourth quarter of last year due to lower levels of regular price sales and increased allowances and markdowns. For the first quarter ending April 30, 2004, the Company is forecasting a net loss per share of between ($0.55) and ($0.60). In last year's first quarter, the net loss was ($0.38) per share. Mr. Goldfarb concluded, "In the upcoming year we expect to continue to grow our core sports apparel, and pursue new opportunities in fashion. We believe that with our multi-channel mix of distribution, that there are numerous opportunities for us to further diversify our business." ABOUT G-III APPAREL GROUP, LTD.
