G-III APPAREL GROUP, LTD. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

—Raises Fiscal Year 2007 EPS Guidance—

New York, New York — September 7, 2006 — G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (Nasdaq: GIII) today announced operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

For the three-month period ended July 31, 2006, G-III reported net sales of $69.1 million and a net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to net sales of $54.6 million and a net loss of $301,000, or $0.03 per share, during the comparable period last year. This compares to the Company’s previous guidance for the second quarter of a net loss between $0.30 and $0.35 per share.

For the six-month period ended July 31, 2006, the Company reported net sales of $83.5 million and a net loss of $10.6 million, or $0.85 per share, compared to net sales of $68.3 million and a net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.45 per share, during the comparable period last year. The seasonal loss in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007 was higher than last year primarily due to the inclusion of the results of the two companies acquired in July 2005.

All share and per share data in this release have been retroactively adjusted for the Company’s three for two stock split effective March 28, 2006.

Morris Goldfarb, G-III’s Chief Executive Officer, said, ‘‘We continue to see broad-based strength in our business. In addition to a strong outerwear business across our portfolio of licenses, we are very excited about our recent initiatives in the women’s suit, dress, and sportswear categories. We believe that we are continuing on the path toward transforming our business into a highly diversified, all season apparel company.’’

Mr. Goldfarb continued, ‘‘As we approach our key shipping season for the outerwear business, we are encouraged by having booked in excess of 90% of our forecasted revenues for the year. We are focused on executing at a high level and anticipate a good fall and holiday season. While the retail environment remains challenging, we believe that our product lines are well positioned and that we have an opportunity to post strong financial results.’’

Mr. Goldfarb concluded, ‘‘Our business, has never had more opportunities or been better diversified. We have a powerful combination of branded partners such as Calvin Klein, Sean John, Kenneth Cole and Guess, among others, a solid infrastructure, a stronger balance sheet as a result of our recently completed private placement and excellent relationships with retailers in every tier of distribution. We intend to leverage our strategic position to broaden our business, expand our growth opportunities and drive significant value to our shareholders.’’

Outlook

For the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2007, the Company is now forecasting net sales of approximately $410 million and diluted net income per share between $0.63 and $0.67. This compares to its previous guidance of net sales of approximately $400 million and diluted net income per share between $0.58 and $0.62.

The Company now projects EBITDA to increase 29% to 34%, or to approximately $26 to $27 million, up from $20.1 million in fiscal 2006. EBITDA results should be evaluated in light of the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income in accordance with GAAP is included in a table accompanying the condensed financial statements in this release.

When comparing guidance for fiscal 2007 to results for fiscal 2006, the Company noted that it completed two acquisitions in July 2005. As a result, the Company’s full year results for fiscal 2006 excluded seasonal losses by the acquired companies in the first half of fiscal 2006, as well as the higher interest expenses and depreciation and amortization costs in fiscal 2007 relating to the acquisitions.

EBITDA is a ‘‘non-GAAP financial measure’’ which represents earnings before depreciation and amortization, interest and financing charges, net, and income tax expense. EBITDA is being presented as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is a common measure of operating performance in the apparel industry. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
