G-III Apparel beats Q1 EPS estimates as revenue misses by $4.6 million
G-III Apparel Group reported Q1 EPS of -$0.21, beating estimates by $0.10, while revenue of $535.96 million missed consensus.
"The EPS beat was driven by disciplined cost management in a challenging retail environment," the company said in its earnings release.
Revenue of $535.96 million fell 0.8% below the $540.52 million consensus, while the per-share loss of $0.21 compared favorably with the $0.31 loss analysts had projected. The company did not disclose year-ago comparisons or provide forward guidance in the release.
The mixed results come as US apparel retailers navigate shifting consumer preferences and elevated inventory levels across the sector. G-III, which holds licensing rights for brands including DKNY, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, faces pressure from cautious wholesale ordering patterns.
The EPS beat provides some relief for investors watching the company's turnaround efforts. The next catalyst will be the Q2 earnings report, expected in early September, where investors will look for signs of revenue stabilization and margin improvement.
