For the quarter ended April 30, 2017, G-III reported net sales increase of 16 percent to 529 million dollars compared to 457.4 million dollars in the year-ago period. The company reported a net loss of 10.4 million dollars or 0.21 dollars per share, compared to net income of 2.8 million dollars or 0.06 dollar per diluted share, in the prior year's comparable period.

"Our wholesale business continues its strong growth. Offsetting our strong wholesale performance were the previously forecasted losses with respect to our own retail stores and the development of the Donna Karan business," said Morris Goldfarb, G-III's Chairman and CEO in a statement, adding, "We are approaching an inflection point for the Donna Karan business where our efforts are expected to yield profitable results for this business in the second half of this fiscal year."
