As of January 31, 2025, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15I under the Exchange Act).
−Removed: Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and thus, are effective in making known to them material information relating to G-III required to be included in this Report.
+Added: Based on that evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as described below.
+Added: Our internal controls over financial reporting are designed to confirm that information required to be disclosed by G-III in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
+Added: Material Weakness in Internal Control
+Added: A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual and interim financial statements will not be detected or prevented on a timely basis.
+Added: Within the KLH subsidiary, which represented approximately 8.2% of our total net sales for fiscal 2025, the Company identified a material weakness in the operating effectiveness of controls related to information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) over business applications that support the Company’s financial reporting processes.
+Added: Automated and manual business process controls that are dependent on the affected ITGCs were also deemed ineffective because they rely upon information and configurations from the affected IT systems.
+Added: We concluded that the material weakness did not result in any material misstatements in our financial statements or disclosures in the current year.
+Added: Based on additional procedures and post-closing review, management concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
+Added: Remediation Measures
+Added: Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, is performing remedial actions and has developed a full plan designed to remediate these deficiencies.
+Added: This plan includes, among other items, additional risk assessment procedures over information technology, enhancements to controls, and additional training related to the operational effectiveness of control procedures.
+Added: These deficiencies will not be considered remediated until the remediation plan is complete, and controls have been operational for a sufficient period of time and successfully tested.

−Removed: We have included the internal controls and procedures of KLH in our annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Other than the material weakness described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended January 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

+Added: Based on its assessment, management identified within the Company’s KLH subsidiary a material weakness in the operating effectiveness of controls related to ITGCs over business applications that support the Company’s financial reporting processes.
