For fiscal 2023, G-III Apparel now expects net sales of about $3.24bn and net income between $205m and $215m. This compares to net sales of $2.77bn and net income of $200.6m last year. The guidance is inclusive of about $140m in net sales and net income of approximately $0.10 per diluted share in connection with the acquisition of the Karl Lagerfeld brand for seven months of ownership in this fiscal year.
G-III completed its acquisition of the remaining 81% interest in Karl Lagerfeld for EUR200m, subject to certain adjustments, on 2 June.
Announcing the move last month, G-III said the acquisition adds about $200m in initial annual sales.
What’s more, G-III believes that the combined revenues of G-III’s Karl Lagerfeld business (previously 19%) and the acquired Karl Lagerfeld business represent an annual net revenue potential of approximately $1bn or in excess of $2bn in sales to end consumers, and that this acquisition will expand G-III’s global presence.
Meanwhile, G-III said this week net sales for the first quarter ended 30 April increased 32.5% to $688.8m from $519.9m in the prior year’s quarter. The company reported net income of $30.6m, compared to $26.3m last time.
