Lands’ End (LE) reported second quarter fiscal 2026 results with higher revenue and a return to profitability.
Net revenue rose 2.7% year over year to $302.0 million, driven by 9.0% growth in U.S. eCommerce and 4.4% growth in Outfitters, while Third Party revenue declined 20.4%. Gross profit increased to $157.0 million and gross margin expanded 320 basis points to 52.0%, mainly from IEEPA tariff refunds, partly offset by JV royalties and warehouse system costs.
