G-III APPAREL GROUP, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
As used in these financial statements, the term “Company” or “G-III” refers to G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The Company designs, sources and markets an extensive range of apparel, including outerwear, dresses, sportswear, swimwear, women’s suits and women’s performance wear, as well as women’s handbags, footwear, small leather goods, cold weather accessories and luggage. The Company also operates retail stores and licenses its proprietary brands for several product categories.
The Company consolidates the accounts of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“KLH”) is a Dutch limited liability company that was 19 % owned by the Company through May 30, 2022 and was accounted for during that time using the equity method of accounting. Effective May 31, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 81 % interest in KLH that it did not previously own and, as a result, KLH began being treated as a consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary. KL North America B.V. (“KLNA”) is a Dutch joint venture limited liability company that was 49 % owned by the Company and 51 % indirectly owned by KLH through May 30, 2022 and was accounted for during that time using the equity method of accounting. Effective May 31, 2022, KLNA became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the Company’s acquisition of the remaining 81 % interest in KLH it did not previously own. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of KLH are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning May 31, 2022.
Vilebrequin International SA (“Vilebrequin”), a Swiss corporation that is wholly-owned by the Company, KLH, Fabco Holding B.V. (“Fabco”) and Sonia Rykiel, which the Company purchased in October 2021, report results on a calendar year basis rather than on the January 31 fiscal year basis used by the Company. Accordingly, the results of Vilebrequin, KLH, Fabco and Sonia Rykiel are included in the financial statements for the quarter ended or ending closest to the Company’s fiscal quarter end. For example, with respect to the Company’s results for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2022, the results of Vilebrequin, Fabco and Sonia Rykiel are included for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, the results of KLH, which includes KLNA, are included for the period from July 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022 and June 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022, respectively. The results of the Company’s previous 49 % ownership interest in KLNA and 19 % ownership interest in KLH are included for the period from February 1, 2022 through May 30, 2022. The Company’s retail operations segment reports on a 52/53-week fiscal year. For fiscal 2023 and 2022, the three and nine-month periods for the retail operations segment were each 13-week and 39-week periods, respectively, and ended on October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, respectively.
The results for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year, given the seasonal nature of the Company’s business and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. The accompanying financial statements included herein are unaudited. All adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented have been reflected.
The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar (reporting currency), are translated from the foreign currency into U.S. dollars at period-end rates, while income and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates for the period. The related translation adjustments are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity.

Note 2 – Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company’s financial instruments consist of trade receivables arising from revenue transactions in the ordinary course of business. The Company considers its trade receivables to consist of two portfolio segments: wholesale and retail trade receivables. Wholesale trade receivables result from credit the Company has extended to its wholesale customers based on pre-defined criteria and are generally due within 30 to 60 days. Retail trade receivables primarily relate to amounts due from third-party credit card processors for the settlement of debit and credit card transactions and are typically collected within 3 to 5 days.
The Company’s accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts as of October 31, 2022, October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2022 were:

The allowance for doubtful accounts for wholesale trade receivables is estimated based on several factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (such as in the case of bankruptcy filings (including potential bankruptcy filings), extensive delay in payment or substantial downgrading by credit rating agencies), a specific reserve for bad debt is recorded against amounts due from that customer to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. For all other wholesale customers, an allowance for doubtful accounts is determined through analysis of the aging of accounts receivable at the end of the reporting period for financial statements, assessments of collectability based on historical trends and an evaluation of the impact of economic conditions. The Company considers both current and forecasted future economic conditions in determining the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts.
The allowance for doubtful accounts for retail trade receivables is estimated at the credit card chargeback rate applied to the previous 90 days of credit card sales. In addition, the Company considers both current and forecasted future economic conditions in determining the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts.

Note 3 – Inventories
Wholesale inventories, which comprise a significant portion of the Company’s inventory, are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Retail and Vilebrequin inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the weighted average method) or net realizable value. Substantially all of the Company’s inventories consist of finished goods.
The inventory return asset, which consists of the amount of goods that are anticipated to be returned by customers, was $ 17.1 million, $ 13.9 million and $ 18.9 million as of October 31, 2022, October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2022, respectively. The inventory return asset is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Inventory held on consignment by the Company’s customers totaled $ 6.5 million, $ 5.6 million and $ 4.5 million at October 31, 2022, October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2022, respectively. Consignment inventory is held by the Company’s customers. The Company reflects this inventory on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The determination of the applicable level within the hierarchy for a particular asset or liability depends on the inputs used in its valuation as of the measurement date, notably the extent to which the inputs are market-based (observable) or internally-derived (unobservable). A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
● Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
● Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.
● Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology based on unobservable prices or valuation techniques that are significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s debt instruments are recorded at their carrying values in its condensed consolidated balance sheets, which may differ from their respective fair values. The fair value of the Company’s secured notes is based on their current market price as of October 31, 2022. The carrying amount of the Company’s variable rate debt approximates the fair value, as interest rates change with the market rates. Furthermore, the carrying value of all other financial instruments potentially subject to valuation risk (principally consisting of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable) also approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts.
The 2 % note in the principal amount of $ 125 million (the “LVMH Note”) issued to LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton Inc. (“LVMH”) in connection with the acquisition of DKNY and Donna Karan was recorded on the balance sheet at a discount of $ 40.0 million in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements . For purposes of this fair value disclosure, the Company based its fair value estimate for the LVMH Note on the initial fair value as determined at the date of the acquisition of DKNY and Donna Karan and records the amortization using the effective interest method over the term of the LVMH Note.
The fair value of the LVMH Note was considered a Level 3 valuation in the fair value hierarchy.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s non-financial assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets, which consist primarily of property and equipment and operating lease assets. The Company reviews these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable. For assets that are not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset or asset group and its estimated fair value. For operating lease assets, the Company determines the fair value of the assets by discounting the estimated market rental rates over the remaining term of the lease. These fair value measurements are considered level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recorded a $ 1.5 million impairment charge primarily related to leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and operating lease assets at certain DKNY, Karl Lagerfeld Paris and Vilebrequin stores as a result of the performance at these stores.
Note 5 – Leases
The Company leases retail stores, warehouses, distribution centers, office space and certain equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Most leases are for a term of one to ten years . Some leases include one or more options to renew , with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to ten years . Several of the Company’s retail store leases include an option to terminate the lease based on failure to achieve a specified sales volume. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion. The exercise of lease termination options is generally by mutual agreement between the Company and the lessor.

Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company’s leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company’s lease assets and liabilities as of October 31, 2022, October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2022 consist of the following:

Note 6 – Karl Lagerfeld Acquisition
On April 29, 2022, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a group of investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire, on the terms set forth and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the remaining 81 % interest in KLH that it did not already own, for an aggregate consideration
of € 202.0 million (approximately $ 216.8 million) in cash, after taking into account certain adjustments. The acquisition closed on May 31, 2022. The Company funded the purchase price from cash on hand.
On May 31, 2022, the effective date of the acquisition, the Company’s previously held 19 % investment in KLH and 49 % investment in KLNA were remeasured at fair value using a market approach based on the purchase price of the acquisition and a discount for lack of control related to the Company’s previously held minority investment in KLH. As a result of this remeasurement, a non-cash gain of $ 30.9 million was recorded as of the effective date of the acquisition.
The addition of KLH to the Company’s portfolio of owned brands advances several of its strategic initiatives, including increasing its direct ownership of brands and their licensing opportunities and further diversifying its global presence. This acquisition offers additional opportunities to expand the Company’s international growth by further developing its European-based brands, which also include Vilebrequin and Sonia Rykiel. The Company believes that KLH’s existing digital channel presence provides an opportunity for the Company to enhance its omni-channel business and further accelerate its digital initiatives.
Purchase Price Consideration
The purchase price of $ 216.8 million, after taking into account certain adjustments, was paid from cash on hand. The purchase price has been revised to include adjustments in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
The initial purchase price and the valuation of the prior minority ownership for the acquisition of KLH is as follows (in thousands):

During the quarter ended October 31, 2022, the Company recorded adjustments to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition based on additional information obtained. The Company recorded an additional $ 2.8 million in both total assets and total liabilities , primarily related to operating lease assets, inventories, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill, customer relationships and operating lease liabilities.
The Company recognized goodwill of approximately $ 45.9 million in connection with the acquisition of KLH. The goodwill was assigned to the Company’s wholesale operations reporting unit. The Company intends to make an election under Internal Revenue Code Section 338(g) to amortize the total goodwill and intangible assets over a 15 year period for income tax purposes in the United States.
The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on assumptions and estimates made by management using unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available. The fair values of the trademarks were determined using the relief from royalty method and the fair value of the customer relationships were determined using an income approach. The Company classifies these intangibles as Level 3 fair value measurements. Identifiable intangible assets acquired include the following (in thousands):

The estimates of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and subject to change based on completion of certain working capital adjustments and the tax implications of the Company’s purchase price allocation. The purchase price allocation for acquired companies can be modified for up to one year from the date of acquisition.
Net Sales, Operating Income and Pro Forma Impact of the Transaction
The amount of net sales and operating income of KLH since the acquisition date included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended October 31, 2022 were $ 51.9 million and $ 4.0 million, respectively. The amount of net sales and operating income of KLH since the acquisition date included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations comprehensive income for the nine months ended October 31, 2022 were $ 69.2 million and $ 5.1 million, respectively.
The following table reflects the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of the Company for the periods presented, as though the acquisition of KLH had occurred on February 1, 2021.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company considers reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions set forth in the accompanying notes. Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect (i) the changes in depreciation and amortization expense resulting from fair value adjustments to intangible assets, (ii) amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment, (iii) expenses for incentive compensation arrangements acquired as part of the acquisition agreement, (iv) elimination of royalty expenses related to the Company’s license agreement with KLNA, (v) the taxation of G-III’s and KLH’s combined income as a result of the acquisition, as well as the tax effects related to such pro forma adjustments, (vi) the $ 30.9 million gain recorded to remeasure to fair value the previously held investments in KLH and KLNA as though the gain was recorded on February 1, 2021 and (vii) adjustments for accounting policy changes to conform to G-III’s presentation. The pro forma results do not include any realized or anticipated cost synergies or other effects of the integration of KLH. Accordingly, such pro forma amounts are not indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on February 1, 2021, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of the combined company.

Impairment
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired and accounted for under the purchase method. The Company reviews and tests its goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may be impaired. The Company performs its goodwill test as of January 31 of each year using a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test using an income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis methodology. The discounted cash flow approach requires that certain assumptions and estimates be made regarding industry economic factors and future profitability. The Company also performs its annual test for intangible assets with indefinite lives as of January 31 of each year using a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test using a relief from royalty method, another form of the income approach. The relief from royalty method requires assumptions regarding industry economic factors and future profitability.
The Company performed its annual tests of its wholesale reporting unit and its indefinite-lived trademarks as of January 31, 2022 and determined that no impairment existed at that date. The result of the Company’s annual test determined that the estimated fair value of its wholesale reporting unit and its indefinite-lived trademarks were substantially in excess of their carrying values.
The Company’s indefinite-lived trademark balance is primarily composed of the Donna Karan/DKNY trademark that was acquired in fiscal 2017 and the Karl Lagerfeld trademark that was acquired in fiscal 2023.
The fair value of the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are considered a Level 3 valuation in the fair value hierarchy.
Note 8 – Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share, when applicable, is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential dilutive common shares, consisting of unvested restricted stock unit awards and stock options outstanding during the period. Approximately 310,600 and 258,600 shares of common stock have been excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, respectively. Approximately 68,800 and 18,300 shares of common stock have been excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021. All share-based payments outstanding that vest based on the achievement of performance conditions, and for which the respective performance conditions have not been achieved, have been excluded from the diluted per share calculation.

These debt issuance costs have been deferred and are classified in assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 835.
Senior Secured Notes
In August 2020, the Company completed a private debt offering of $ 400 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.875 % Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). The terms of the Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”). The net proceeds of the Notes were used (i) to repay the $ 300 million that was outstanding under the Company’s prior term loan facility due 2022 (the “Term Loan”), (ii) to pay related fees and expenses and (iii) for general corporate purposes.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.875 % per year payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year.
The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior-priority secured basis by the Company’s current and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee any of the Company’s credit facilities, including the Company’s ABL facility (the “ABL Facility”) pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement, or certain future capital markets indebtedness of the Company or guarantors.

Table of Contents
The Notes and the related guarantees are secured by (i) first priority liens on the Company’s Cash Flow Priority Collateral (as defined in the Indenture), and (ii) a second-priority lien on the Company’s ABL Priority Collateral (as defined in the Indenture), in each case subject to permitted liens described in the Indenture.
In connection with the issuance of the Notes and execution of the Indenture, the Company and the Guarantors entered into a pledge and security agreement (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Collateral Agent.
The Notes are subject to the terms of the intercreditor agreement which governs the relative rights of the secured parties in respect of the ABL Facility and the Notes (the “Intercreditor Agreement”). The Intercreditor Agreement restricts the actions permitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral on behalf of the holders of the Notes. The Notes are also subject to the terms of the LVMH Note subordination agreement which governs the relative rights of the secured parties in respect of the LVMH Note, the ABL Facility and the Notes.
The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time and from time to time at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.
If the Company experiences a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), the Company is required to offer to repurchase the Notes at 101 % of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.
The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, incur restrictions on the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries that are not guarantors to pay dividends or make certain other payments, create or incur certain liens, sell assets and subsidiary stock, impair the security interests, transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or enter into merger or consolidation transactions, and enter into transactions with affiliates. The Indenture provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others, nonpayment of principal or interest, breach of other agreements in the Indenture, failure to pay certain other indebtedness, failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable, failure to perfect certain collateral securing the Notes, failure to pay certain final judgments, and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.
The Company incurred debt issuance costs totaling $ 8.5 million related to the Notes. In accordance with ASC 835, the debt issuance costs have been deferred and are presented as a contra-liability, offsetting the outstanding balance of the Notes, and are amortized over the remaining life of the Notes.
Second Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement
In August 2020, the Company’s subsidiaries, G-III Leather Fashions, Inc., Riviera Sun, Inc., CK Outerwear, LLC, AM Retail Group, Inc. and The Donna Karan Company Store LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into the second amended and restated credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with the Lenders named therein and with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The ABL Credit Agreement is a five year senior secured credit facility subject to a springing maturity date if, subject to certain conditions, the LVMH Note is not refinanced or repaid prior to the date that is 91 days prior to the date of any relevant payment thereunder. The ABL Credit Agreement provides for borrowings in the aggregate principal amount of up to $ 650 million. The Company and its subsidiaries, G-III Apparel Canada ULC, Gabrielle Studio, Inc., Donna Karan International Inc. and Donna Karan Studio LLC (the “Guarantors”), are Loan Guarantors under the ABL Credit Agreement.
The ABL Credit Agreement refinanced, amended and restated the Amended Credit Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2016 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to August 7, 2020, the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The Prior Credit Agreement provided for borrowings of up to $ 650 million. The ABL Credit Agreement extended the maturity date of this facility from December 2021 to August 2025, subject to a springing maturity date if, subject to certain conditions, the LVMH Note is not refinanced or repaid prior to the date that is 91 days prior to the date of any relevant payment thereunder.

Table of Contents
Amounts available under the ABL Credit Agreement are subject to borrowing base formulas and overadvances as specified in the ABL Credit Agreement. Borrowings bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75 % to 2.25 % or an alternate base rate margin of 0.75 % to 1.25 % (defined as the greatest of (i) the “prime rate” of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. from time to time, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5 % and (iii) the LIBOR rate for a borrowing with an interest period of one month) plus 1.00 %, with the applicable margin determined based on Borrowers’ availability under the ABL Credit Agreement. The ABL Credit Agreement is secured by specified assets of the Borrowers and the Guarantors. In addition to paying interest on any outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the credit agreement with respect to the unutilized commitments. The commitment fee accrues at a tiered rate equal to 0.50 % per annum on the average daily amount of the available commitments when the average usage is less than 50% of the total available commitments and decreases to 0.35 % per annum on the average daily amount of the available commitments when the average usage is greater than or equal to 50% of the total available commitments. As of October 31, 2022, interest under the ABL Credit Agreement was being paid at an average rate of 4.91 % per annum.
The revolving credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability to, subject to specified exceptions, incur additional debt; incur liens; sell or dispose of certain assets; merge with other companies; liquidate or dissolve the Company; acquire other companies; make loans, advances, or guarantees; and make certain investments. In certain circumstances, the revolving credit facility also requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, not less than 1.00 to 1.00 for each period of twelve consecutive fiscal months of the Company. As of October 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
As of October 31, 2022, the Company had $ 340.2 million of borrowings outstanding under the ABL Credit Agreement. The ABL credit agreement also includes amounts available for letters of credit. As of October 31, 2022, there were outstanding trade and standby letters of credit amounting to $ 6.5 million and $ 3.4 million, respectively.
At the date of the refinancing of the Prior Credit Agreement, the Company had $ 3.3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs remaining from the Prior Credit Agreement. The Company extinguished and charged to interest expense $ 0.4 million of the prior debt issuance costs and incurred new debt issuance costs totaling $ 5.1 million related to the ABL Credit Agreement. The Company has a total of $ 8.0 million debt issuance costs related to the ABL Credit Agreement. As permitted under ASC 835, the debt issuance costs have been deferred and are presented as an asset which is amortized ratably over the term of the ABL Credit Agreement.
LVMH Note
As a portion of the consideration for the acquisition of Donna Karan International (“DKI”), the Company issued to LVMH a junior lien secured promissory note in the principal amount of $ 125.0 million that bears interest at the rate of 2 % per year. $ 75.0 million of the principal amount of the LVMH Note is due and payable on June 1, 2023 and therefore has been recorded within the current portion of notes payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and $ 50.0 million of such principal amount is due and payable on December 1, 2023 .
ASC 820 requires the note to be recorded at fair value at issuance. As a result, the Company recorded a $ 40.0 million debt discount upon issuance of the LVMH Note. This discount is being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the LVMH Note.
Unsecured Loans
Several of the Company’s foreign entities borrow funds under various unsecured loans of which a portion is to provide funding for operations in the normal course of business while other loans are European state backed loans as part of COVID-19 relief programs. In the aggregate, the Company is currently required to make quarterly installment payments of principal in the amount of € 0.4 million under these loans. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the unsecured loans accrues at a fixed rate equal to 0 % to 5.0 % per annum, payable on either a quarterly or monthly basis. As of October 31, 2022, the Company had an aggregate outstanding balance of € 10.7 million ($ 10.4 million) under these unsecured loans.

Note 10 – Revenue Recognition
Disaggregation of Revenue
In accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers , the Company discloses its revenues by segment. Each segment presents its own characteristics with respect to the timing of revenue recognition and the type of customer. In addition, disaggregating revenues using a segment basis is consistent with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker manages the Company. The Company has identified the wholesale operations segment and the retail operations segment as distinct sources of revenue.
Wholesale Operations Segment. Wholesale revenues include sales of products to retailers under owned, licensed and private label brands, as well as sales related to the Vilebrequin and Karl Lagerfeld businesses, other than sales of the Karl Lagerfeld Paris brand from retail stores and digital outlets. Wholesale revenues from sales of products are recognized when control transfers to the customer. The Company considers control to have been transferred when the Company has transferred physical possession of the product, the Company has a right to payment for the product, the customer has legal title to the product and the customer has the significant risks and rewards of the product. Wholesale revenues are adjusted by variable consideration arising from implicit or explicit obligations. Wholesale revenues also include revenues from license agreements related to the DKNY, Donna Karan, G.H. Bass, Andrew Marc, Karl Lagerfeld, Vilebrequin and Sonia Rykiel trademarks owned by the Company. As of October 31, 2022, revenues from license agreements represented an insignificant portion of wholesale revenues.
Retail Operations Segment. Retail store revenues are generated by direct sales to consumers through company-operated stores and product sales through the Company’s digital channels for the DKNY, Donna Karan, G.H. Bass, Karl Lagerfeld Paris, Andrew Marc and Wilsons Leather businesses. Retail stores primarily consist of DKNY and Karl Lagerfeld Paris retail stores, substantially all of which are operated as outlet stores. Retail operations segment revenues are recognized at the point of sale when the customer takes possession of the goods and tenders payment. Digital revenues primarily consist of sales to consumers through the Company’s digital platforms. Digital revenue is recognized when a customer takes possession of the goods. Retail sales are recorded net of applicable sales tax.
Contract Liabilities
The Company’s contract liabilities, which are recorded within accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily consist of gift card liabilities and advance payments from licensees. In some of its retail concepts, the Company also offers a limited loyalty program where customers accumulate points redeemable for cash discount certificates that expire 90 days after issuance. Total contract liabilities were $ 3.3 million, $ 3.8 million and $ 5.1 million at October 31, 2022, October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized $ 2.7 million in revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2022 related to contract liabilities that existed at July 31, 2022. The Company recognized $ 3.2 million in revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2022 related to contract liabilities

that existed at January 31, 2022. There were no contract assets recorded as of October 31, 2022, October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2022. Substantially all of the advance payments from licensees as of October 31, 2022 are expected to be recognized as revenue within the next twelve months.
Note 11 – Segments
The Company’s reportable segments are business units that offer products through different channels of distribution. The Company has two reportable segments: wholesale operations and retail operations. The wholesale operations segment includes sales of products under the Company’s owned, licensed and private label brands, as well as sales related to the Vilebrequin and Karl Lagerfeld businesses, other than sales of the Karl Lagerfeld Paris brand from retail stores and digital outlets. Wholesale revenues also include revenues from license agreements related to our owned trademarks including DKNY, Donna Karan, Vilebrequin, Karl Lagerfeld, G.H. Bass, Andrew Marc and Sonia Rykiel. The retail operations segment consists primarily of direct sales to consumers through Company-operated stores, which consists primarily of DKNY and Karl Lagerfeld Paris stores, as well as the digital channels for DKNY, Donna Karan, Karl Lagerfeld Paris, G.H. Bass, Andrew Marc and Wilsons Leather. Substantially all DKNY and Karl Lagerfeld Paris stores are operated as outlet stores.

Note 13 – Canadian Customs Duty Examination
In October 2017, the Canada Border Service Agency (“CBSA”) issued an audit report to G-III Apparel Canada ULC (“G-III Canada”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, challenging the valuation used by G-III Canada for certain goods imported into Canada between February 1, 2014 and October 27, 2017. The CBSA requested that G-III Canada reassess its customs entries for that period and change the valuation method used to pay duties with respect to goods imported in the future. As a result of this reassessment, in March 2018, G-III Canada provided a bond to the CBSA in the amount of CAD$ 26.9 million ($ 20.9 million) representing customs duty and interest through December 31, 2017 that was claimed to be owed to the CBSA.
22
Table of Contents
Beginning February 1, 2018, the Company began paying duties based on the new valuation method. Cumulative amounts paid and deferred through October 31, 2022, related to the higher dutiable values, were CAD$ 15.8 million ($ 11.6 million).
G-III Canada filed a Notice of Appeal with the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the “Tribunal”) appealing the CBSA decision. A hearing on the appeal was held on December 7, 2021. On August 22, 2022, the Tribunal ruled in favor of G-III Canada and G-III Canada’s appeal has been allowed by the Tribunal. The decision was not appealed by the CBSA.
As a result, G-III Canada will continue to declare dutiable values utilizing its pre-audit methodology, with the addition of a dutiable design assist (“design assist”). The Tribunal ruling requires the CBSA to issue a CAD $ 1.8 million ( $ 1.3 million) refund, including interest and net of the design assist, for amounts paid by G-III Canada between February 1, 2014 and January 31, 2018. G-III Canada is in the process of filing adjustment requests with the CBSA for the period from February 1, 2018 to January 31, 2022 to amend declared dutiable values. These amendments are expected to result in a refund of duty and interest of approximately CAD $ 13.0 million ( $ 9.5 million) after deductions for the design assist and related interest. The bond issued by G-III Canada in March 2018 is in the process of being released back to the Company.
Note 14 – Recent Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
There was no accounting guidance adopted during the three months ended October 31, 2022.
Issued Accounting Guidance Being Evaluated for Adoption
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” and in January 2021, issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform: Scope”. Both of these updates aim to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. These updates provide optional expedients and exceptions, if certain criteria are met, for applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The amendments were effective upon issuance and allow companies to adopt the amendments on a prospective basis through December 31, 2022. The Company has not applied this ASU to any existing contracts in the current year. As of October 31, 2022, the Company had availability of approximately $ 290 million under its revolving credit facility. The interest rate under this facility is indexed to LIBOR. As such, the revolving credit facility is likely to be impacted when LIBOR quotations cease to be available. The Company is evaluating the impact that the guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and currently does not expect that any impact would be material.
