Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

As used in these financial statements, the term “Company” or “G-III” refers to G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The Company designs, sources and markets an extensive range of apparel, including outerwear, dresses, sportswear, swimwear, women’s suits and women’s performance wear, as well as women’s handbags, footwear, small leather goods, cold weather accessories and luggage. The Company also operates retail stores and licenses its proprietary brands for several product categories.

The Company consolidates the accounts of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. KL North America B.V. (“KLNA”) is a Dutch joint venture limited liability company that is 49% owned by the Company. Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“KLH”) is a Dutch limited liability company that is 19% owned by the Company. The Company accounts for these two investments using the equity method of accounting. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. See Note 13 – Subsequent Events with respect to an agreement entered into by the Company to increase its percentage ownership interest in KLH to 100%. Once KLH becomes wholly-owned by the Company, KLNA will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Vilebrequin International SA (“Vilebrequin”), a Swiss corporation that is wholly-owned by the Company, KLH, KLNA, Fabco Holding B.V. (“Fabco”) and Sonia Rykiel, which the Company purchased in October 2021, report results on a calendar year basis rather than on the January 31 fiscal year basis used by the Company. Accordingly, the results of Vilebrequin, KLH, KLNA, Fabco and Sonia Rykiel are, and will be, included in the financial statements for the quarter ended or ending closest to the Company’s fiscal quarter end. For example, with respect to the Company’s results for the three-month period ended April 30, 2022, the results of Vilebrequin, KLH, KLNA, Fabco and Sonia Rykiel are included for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s retail operations segment reports on a 52/53-week fiscal year. The Company’s three-month periods ended April 30, 2022 and 2021 were each 13-week periods for the retail operations segment. For fiscal 2023 and 2022, the three-month periods for the retail operations segment ended on April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, respectively.

The results for the three months ended April 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year, given the seasonal nature of the Company’s business and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. The accompanying financial statements included herein are unaudited. All adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented have been reflected.

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar (reporting currency), are translated from foreign currency into U.S. dollars at period-end rates, while income and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates for the period. The related translation adjustments are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity.
