G-III Apparel Q1 2026 Earnings Report
G-III Apparel reported Q1 2026 earnings with EPS and net income exceeding guidance despite a drop in revenue.
Key Takeaways
G-III Apparel delivered solid first-quarter results driven by growth in owned brands like DKNY and Karl Lagerfeld, which offset headwinds from exiting Calvin Klein lines. EPS and net income beat expectations, though revenue fell year-over-year.
Net income rose to $7.8 million, up from $5.8 million the previous year.
EPS reached $0.17, while non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.19.
Revenue declined to $583.6 million from $609.7 million year-over-year.
Double-digit growth in DKNY, Karl Lagerfeld, and Donna Karan helped offset revenue pressures.
