What to watch
-
Non-controlled Marc Jacobs structure
The Marc Jacobs business is operated through a license from IPCo, a 50/50 joint venture in which WHP controls the board through three of five managers. The license has an initial term through December 2041 but can be terminated for specified breaches or payment failures.
-
Marc Jacobs transition and dilution
G-III must transition Marc Jacobs away from infrastructure historically provided by LVMH and guaranteed Marc Jacobs' payment and indemnification obligations under the transition services agreement. Marc Jacobs is also expected to be slightly dilutive to fiscal 2027 earnings.
-
Material weakness in IT controls
A material weakness in IT general controls was identified at KLH, which represented approximately 9% of fiscal 2026 total net sales. Management stated the weakness did not cause a material misstatement, but disclosure controls were nevertheless deemed ineffective.
Management's outlook
Fiscal 2027 GAAP EPS guidance was raised to $4.10-$4.20; non-GAAP EPS guidance is $2.20-$2.30. Fiscal 2027 net sales are expected to be approximately $2.71 billion excluding Marc Jacobs, while third-quarter sales are expected to be approximately $870.0 million and GAAP EPS $1.35-$1.45. Marc Jacobs is expected to be slightly dilutive in fiscal 2027.
