Basis of Presentation [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | 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. Fabco Holding B.V (“Fabco”) is a Dutch joint venture limited liability company that was 49% owned by the Company through November 30, 2020 and was accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Effective December 1, 2020, the Company increased its ownership interest in Fabco to 75% and Fabco is treated as a consolidated majority-owned subsidiary. KL North America B.V. (“KLNA”) is a Dutch joint venture limited liability company that is 49% owned by the Company. Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“KLH”) is a Dutch limited liability company that is 19% owned by the Company. The Company accounts for these two investments using the equity method of accounting. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. ​ Vilebrequin International SA (“Vilebrequin”), a Swiss corporation that is wholly-owned by the Company, KLH, KLNA and Fabco 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, KLNA and Fabco are, and will be, 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 six-month period ended July 31, 2021, the results of Vilebrequin, KLH, KLNA and Fabco are included for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The Company’s retail operations segment reports on a 52/53-week fiscal year. For fiscal 2022 and 2021, the three and six-month periods for the retail operations segment were each 13-week and 26-week periods, respectively, and ended on July 31, 2021 and August 1, 2020, respectively. ​ The results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 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, 2021 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 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. ​ Change in Accounting Principle ​ Effective February 1, 2021, the Company elected to change its method of accounting for retail inventories from the lower of cost or market as determined by the retail inventory method to the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average cost method. The Company believes the new method is preferable as it provides better matching of cost of goods sold with revenue, improves the precision of inventory valuation at the balance sheet dates, and more closely aligns with the valuation methods used throughout the rest of the Company. In addition, the change in inventory valuation better aligns with the way the Company manages its business with a focus on the actual margin realized. ​ ​ The Company determined that it was impractical to apply this change in accounting principle retrospectively due to a lack of available information. As a result, the Company applied the change prospectively as of February 1, 2021. The cumulative adjustment as of February 1, 2021 was a decrease in both inventories and retained earnings of $0.3 million. The change in accounting principle did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021.
