New York, New York – April 2, 2013 – G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (NasdaqGS: GIII) today announced operating results for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2013.

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, G-III reported net sales increased by 14% to $1.40 billion from $1.23 billion last year. The Company’s net income was $56.9 million, or $2.80 per diluted share, compared to net income of $49.6 million, or $2.46 per diluted share, in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, excluding expenses associated with the Company’s acquisition of Vilebrequin, Non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the year was $2.92. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, adjusted EBITDA increased 23% to $114.0 million from $92.4 million in the prior fiscal year.

Reconciliations of GAAP net income per share to Non-GAAP net income per share and of GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA are presented in tables accompanying the condensed financial statements included in this release. The Non-GAAP net income per share and adjusted EBITDA for the full fiscal year reflect an adjustment to exclude the expenses and integration costs associated with the Vilebrequin acquisition. Non-GAAP net income per share and adjusted EBITDA should be evaluated in light of the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

RECONCILIATION OF ACTUAL GAAP NET INCOME PER SHARE TO ACTUAL

NON-GAAP NET INCOME PER SHARE

(Unaudited)

	Three Months Ended January 31,				Year Ended January 31,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
GAAP diluted net income per common share	$	0.40	$	0.25	$	2.80	$	2.46
Excluded from Non-GAAP:
Expenses associated with Vilebrequin acquisition, net of taxes		0.01		—		0.12		—
Non-GAAP diluted net income per common share	$	0.41	$	0.25	$	2.92	$	2.46

Non-GAAP diluted net income per share is a “non-GAAP financial measure” that excludes the expenses and integration costs associated with the acquisition of Vilebrequin. The non-GAAP information in the tables above reflects an adjustment for expenses and integration costs associated with the Vilebrequin acquisition that were incurred through January 31, 2013. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding discrete expenses and integration costs associated with the acquisition of Vilebrequin that are not indicative of our core business operating results. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to assess our performance on a comparative basis and believes that it is also useful to investors to enable them to assess our performance on a comparative basis across historical periods and facilitate comparisons of our operating results to those of our competitors. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

RECONCILIATION OF ACTUAL NET INCOME TO ACTUAL ADJUSTED EBITDA

(In thousands)

(Unaudited)

	Actual Twelve Months Ended January 31, 2013		Actual Twelve Months Ended January 31, 2012
Net income	$	56,875	$	49,620
Expenses associated with Vilebrequin acquisition		3,970		—
Depreciation and amortization		9,907		7,473
Interest and financing charges, net		7,764		5,713
Income tax expense		35,436		29,620
Adjusted EBITDA, as defined	$	113,952	$	92,426

Adjusted EBITDA is a “non-GAAP financial measure” which represents earnings before depreciation and amortization, interest and financing charges, net, and income tax expense and excludes expenses and integration costs related to the acquisition of Vilebrequin. The non-GAAP information in the table above reflects an adjustment for expenses and integration costs associated with the Vilebrequin acquisition that were incurred through January 31, 2013. Adjusted EBITDA is being presented as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is a common measure of operating performance in the apparel industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
