G-III Apparel is guiding for sales to decline in fiscal 2026 but reported a better fourth quarter than analysts had expected.

The company behind fashion brands DKNY, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger posted a profit of $48.8 million, or $1.07 a share, for the quarter ended Jan. 31, up from $28.9 million, or 61 cents a share, in the same period a year earlier.

Stripping out one-time items, adjusted earnings were $1.27 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had been expecting 97 cents a share.

Sales rose 9.8% during the quarter to $839.5 million, topping forecasts for $807.1 million, according to FactSet.

Shares rose 10% to $27.98 in premarket trading.

The company said it expects $4.15 to $4.25 a share in earnings for the fiscal year that started Feb. 1. That's below fiscal 2024's $4.20 a share, but above the consensus estimate of $4.10 from analysts polled by FactSet.

Sales, however, are expected to tick down to $3.14 billion from $3.18 billion last year. Analysts had been projecting $3.22 billion, according to FactSet.

Chief Executive Morris Goldfarb said the company's owned brands DKNY, Donna Karan, Karl Lagerfeld, and Vilebrequin should deliver strong sales going forward that offset lower sales in the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses.

For the first quarter, G-III is targeting $580 million in sales, which is below current forecasts for $620 million. Earnings are expected to be 5 cents to 15 cents a share, compared with analyst estimates for 9 cents a share.
