G-III Apparel. A name, like most names in the garment industry, destined to fade. The stock, you see, went down today. Ten percent, if you’re keeping score. And who isn’t, in this great, swirling mess we call the market? So it goes.
They reported earnings. Not good ones. That’s the gist of it. Revenue fell. Eight point one percent. To $771.5 million. Numbers, numbers. They mean less and less each passing year, don’t they? The consensus expected $792 million. As if consensus ever meant a thing.
It seems they lost some licenses. Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein. PVH wants to keep its brands close. A perfectly understandable impulse. Like a mother clutching her children. It’s just business. A sort of organized sadness.
Gross profit went south, too. Down thirteen percent. They had to mark down the merchandise. A common story. Everyone wants a bargain. Nobody wants to pay what things are actually worth. It’s a human condition. Adjusted earnings per share? A paltry $0.30. Used to be $1.27. The bankruptcy of Saks didn’t help. Bad debt expense. Another ripple in the endless ocean of financial woes.
The CEO, Morris Goldfarb, said things were “solid” despite the “challenging environment.” They always say that. It’s a required utterance. Like a priest saying grace. A comforting fiction.
Looking ahead, things aren’t exactly rosy. They expect revenue of $2.71 billion. Down from $2.96 billion last year. The loss of those brands accounts for $470 million of that. Numbers. Just numbers. They tell a story, of course. A story about impermanence.
Earnings per share? $2.00 to $2.10. Down from $2.61. The analysts expected $2.93. As if analysts ever truly knew anything. They’re just guessing, like the rest of us.
The sell-off? Understandable. Perfectly understandable. It’s a rational response to irrational circumstances. But the business itself? Stable, they say, if you ignore the loss of those licenses. Which, of course, is a rather large “if.” So it goes. It always does.
