Insights

Lands' End reports mixed Q1 with improved margins despite revenue decline; strategic sale exploration continues amid moderately positive operational trends.

Lands' End delivered mixed first quarter results with encouraging underlying trends despite headline numbers showing some pressure. While net revenue declined 8.5% to $261.2 million, approximately half of this decrease stems from transitioning kids and footwear inventory to licensees. The core business is showing resilience with low-single-digit GMV growth on a like-for-like basis.

The gross margin expansion is particularly noteworthy, improving 210 basis points to 50.8%. This demonstrates management's success in repositioning Lands' End as a premium brand and optimizing their product mix. The company has also maintained disciplined inventory management, reducing levels for the eighth consecutive quarter (down 9% year-over-year).

While operating expenses deleveraged due to lower revenue, the company still generated $9.5 million in Adjusted EBITDA. The $22.5 million cash burn from operations actually represents an improvement from last year, primarily due to better working capital management.

The company's licensing business is showing particular strength, with revenue increasing over 60% and new partnerships with Delta Air Lines and in categories like travel accessories and intimates. This asset-light approach generates higher-margin revenue streams while reducing inventory risk.

Most significantly, Lands' End reaffirmed its full-year guidance despite potential tariff headwinds, projecting mid-to-high single-digit GMV growth and Adjusted EBITDA between $95-107 million. The ongoing strategic alternatives process announced in March (exploring potential sale or merger) adds another potential catalyst, though outcomes remain uncertain.

The balance sheet position appears adequate with $18.1 million cash and $86.8 million in ABL availability, though this represents reduced flexibility compared to the $133.8 million available last year after the company amended its facility to better match inventory strategy.

Continued GMV growth
Increased Gross margin approximately 210 basis points
Reduced inventory for the eighth consecutive quarter

DODGEVILLE, Wis., June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lands’ End, Inc. (NASDAQ: LE) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended May 2, 2025.

Andrew McLean, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Our first quarter performance reflects solid results on both the top and bottom lines, including continued growth in GMV and Gross margin. We successfully executed our proven customer-centric strategy through creative engagement, viral moments around Lands’ End’s iconic pocket tote, expansion of our brand through licensing, and delivering fresh, solutions-based products that resonate with our customers. Furthermore, this period marked significant progress in strengthening the resiliency of our diversified supply chain, positioning us to maintain momentum throughout fiscal 2025.”

First Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Gross Merchandise Value (“GMV”) increased by low-single digits excluding the $12.7 million impact of transitioning kids and footwear inventory to licensees during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Including this impact, GMV was modestly lower year-over-year. GMV is total order value of all Lands’ End branded merchandise sold to customers through business-to-consumer and business-to-business channels, as well as the estimated retail value of the merchandise sold through third party distribution channels.

  • For the first quarter, Net revenue was $261.2 million, a decrease of $24.3 million or 8.5% compared to $285.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Excluding the impact of the kids and footwear inventory transition, Net revenue decreased by 4.2%.

    • U.S. Digital Segment Net revenue was $227.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, a decrease of $1.0 million or 0.4% from $228.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

      • U.S. eCommerce Net revenue was $170.7 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 0.1% from $170.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The first quarter reflected continued strength in our Outerwear product offset by a slower start to our seasonal swim assortment.

      • Outfitters Net revenue was $42.9 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 0.5% from $42.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The business uniform channel increased year-over-year primarily due to the strength in national accounts. The school uniform channel slightly decreased primarily due to the timing of customer orders compared to the prior year.

      • Third Party Net revenue was $14.1 million, a decrease of $1.4 million or 9.0% from $15.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to challenges in one marketplace. During the first quarter, we refined our approach on Third Party marketplaces, including the introduction of a proprietary AI tool to optimize discovery, and saw particular strength with record AOVs in Nordstrom.

    • Europe eCommerce Net revenue was $17.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, a decrease of $7.1 million or 28.4%, from $25.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. New leadership used the quarter to relaunch as a more premium brand, eliminating lower value inventory, positioning for marketplace expansion on Next and Debenhams and laying the groundwork for a relaunch of the brand in France. Against the backdrop of a challenging macro-economic environment we saw growth in new customers and customer satisfaction.

    • Licensing and Retail Net revenue was $15.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, a decrease of $16.2 million or 50.9%, from $31.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of transitioning kids and footwear inventory to licensees in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and transitioning adult wholesale to a licensing partner in 2025. Licensing revenue increased over 60% with significant growth from existing partners and channels. During the quarter, we added licenses for travel accessories, men’s underwear and base layer, and women’s intimates and base layer, with launches planned in the back half of fiscal 2025.

  • Gross profit was $132.7 million, a decrease of $6.3 million or 4.5% from $139.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. Gross margin increased approximately 210 basis points to 50.8%, compared to 48.7% in first quarter of 2024. The gross margin improvement was primarily driven by the impact of transitioning kids and footwear inventory to licensees in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Gross margin continues as a focus for the organization in establishing Lands’ End as a premium brand across all channels and geographies.

  • Selling and administrative expenses decreased $3.9 million to $123.5 million or 47.3% of Net revenue, compared to $127.4 million or 44.6% of Net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The approximately 270 basis points increase was primarily driven by deleverage from lower revenues.

  • Net loss was $8.3 million, or $0.27 loss per diluted share compared to Net loss of $6.4 million or $0.20 loss per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

  • Adjusted net loss was $5.4 million, or $0.18 adjusted loss per diluted share, compared to an Adjusted net loss of $6.2 million or $0.20 adjusted loss per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $9.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $11.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

First Quarter Business Highlights

  • Like-for-like Gross Merchandise Value increased low-single digits.
  • Licensing revenue increased by over 60% driven by growth from existing licensees.
  • Agreed on a partnership with Delta Air Lines that commences in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents were $18.1 million as of May 2, 2025, compared to $27.4 million as of May 3, 2024.

Inventories, net, was $262.4 million as of May 2, 2025, and $288.6 million as of May 3, 2024. The 9% decrease in inventory was driven by actions the Company has taken to improve inventory efficiency by reducing inventory purchases and capitalizing on speed-to-market initiatives.

Net cash used in operating activities was $22.5 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025, compared to cash used in operating activities of $25.8 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024. The improvement in cash used by operating activities was driven by the year-over-year changes in working capital.

On March 28, 2025, the Company amended its ABL Facility to extend its maturity and reduce the maximum borrowings from $275 million to $225 million to better match its inventory strategy. As of May 2, 2025, the Company had $40.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $86.8 million of availability under its ABL Facility, compared to $40.0 million of borrowings and $133.8 million of availability as of May 3, 2024. Additionally, as of May 2, 2025, the Company had $243.8 million of term loan debt outstanding compared to $256.8 million outstanding as of May 3, 2024.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company repurchased $2.8 million of the Company’s common stock under its share repurchase program announced on March 15, 2024. As of May 2, 2025, additional purchases of up to $10.6 million could be made under the program through March 31, 2026.

Strategic Alternatives Process

On March 7, 2025 the Company announced that its Board of Directors initiated a process to explore strategic alternatives, including a sale, merger or similar transaction involving the Company to maximize shareholder value. This process remains ongoing. No assurances can be given as to the outcome or timing of the Board’s process. The Company does not intend to make any further public comment regarding the process until it determines that disclosure is appropriate.

Outlook

Bernie McCracken, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “As the Company continues to execute our strategy, we have also developed plans to mitigate tariff headwinds at current levels, and, accordingly, our outlook for fiscal 2025 remains unchanged. This outlook assumes a baseline tariff of approximately 10% in all countries except China, which accounted for less than 8% of our product cost in 2024 and where we assume a 30% tariff.”

For fiscal 2025 the Company continues to expect:

  • Gross Merchandise Value to deliver mid-to-high single digits percentage growth.
  • Net revenue to be between $1.33 billion and $1.45 billion.
  • Net income to be between $8.0 million and $20.0 million and diluted earnings per share to be between $0.25 and $0.64.
  • Adjusted net income to be between $15.0 million and $27.0 million and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $0.48 and $0.86.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $95.0 million to $107.0 million.

For the full-year, the Company’s guidance includes approximately $25.0 million of capital expenditures.

Definitions, Reconciliations and Uses of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our Net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating operating performance, we report the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted net income (loss) is also expressed on a diluted per share basis.

We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors, allowing them to assess how the business performed excluding the effects of significant non-recurring or non-operational amounts. We believe the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates comparing the results being reported against past and future results by eliminating amounts that we believe are not comparable between periods and assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s own methods for evaluating business performance.

Our management uses Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our business for comparable periods and to discuss our business with our Board of Directors, institutional investors and other market participants. Adjusted EBITDA is also used as the basis for a performance measure used in executive incentive compensation.

The methods we use to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods other companies use to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions as these measures may exclude a number of important cash and non-cash recurring items.

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding significant non-recurring or non-operational items as set forth below. Adjusted net income (loss) is also presented on a diluted per share basis. While Adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of operating performance and useful to investors.

  • Other significant non-recurring or non-operational items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects comparability of results and are described below:

    • Corporate restructuring - primarily severance and benefit costs as well as costs related to the strategic alternative exploration for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025. Primarily severance and benefit costs for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024.

    • Exit costs - charges associated to exit kids and footwear lines of business including inventory excess and obsolescence reserves, inventory discounts and operational charges recorded in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025 in conjunction with our licensing arrangements commencing in Fiscal 2024.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share:

 (1) The tax impact of adjustments is calculated at the applicable U.S. and non-U.S. Federal and State statutory rates.

While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of operating performance, and is useful to investors, because EBITDA excludes the effects of financings, investing activities and tax structure by eliminating the effects of interest, depreciation and income tax.

  • Other significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects comparability of results and are described below:
