Recent earnings-related communications have produced modest, mixed price moves, with no consistent pattern of sharp rallies or selloffs on these announcements.
Over recent quarters, Lands’ End has focused on improving profitability despite revenue pressure. Q4 FY2024 delivered higher gross margin and returned to net income, while full-year revenue declined as kids and footwear shifted to licensing. Q1 and Q2 2025 showed mid- to high-single-digit revenue declines but steady gross margin expansion and smaller net losses. The Board has been exploring strategic alternatives since March 2025. Today’s Q3 2025 report continues the margin-improvement narrative with higher gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA alongside essentially flat net revenue.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights continued margin and earnings progress at Lands’ End. Q3 2025 net revenue was $317.5 million, essentially flat year over year, while gross margin improved to 51.8% and Adjusted EBITDA rose 28% to $25.9 million. Net income turned positive at $5.2 million. Management reaffirmed a strategy built on higher-margin channels and tighter cost control, while 2025 guidance calls for up to $1.36 billion in revenue and $99–104 million in Adjusted EBITDA. The ongoing strategic alternatives process remains a key overhang to monitor.

- Net revenue was
$317.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of$1.1 million or0.3% from$318.6 million during the third quarter of 2024.
- U.S. Digital Segment Net revenue was
$277.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of$4.0 million or1.5% from$273.5 million in the third quarter of 2024.
- U.S. eCommerce Net revenue was
$179.8 million , a decrease of$6.3 million or3.4% from$186.1 million in the third quarter of 2024.

$78.8 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of$5.4 million or7.4% from$73.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. The school uniform channel significantly increased due to a strong back to school season and new customers acquired from a competitor exiting the market. Revenue from the business uniform channel was down year-over-year driven by the timing of orders from select enterprise accounts. - Third Party Net revenue was
$18.9 million , for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of$4.8 million or34.0% from$14.1 million during the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to strength across nearly all of our marketplace partners with significant year-over-year increases in both Amazon and Macy’s.

$19.8 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of$5.2 million or20.8% , from$25.0 million during the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to increased promotional activity and continued macroeconomic pressures impacting consumers. - Licensing and Retail Net revenue was
$20.2 million for the third quarter 2025, an increase of$0.1 million or0.5% from$20.1 million during the third quarter of 2024.

Gross margin increased approximately 120 basis points to51.8% in the third quarter of 2025, compared with50.6% in the third quarter of 2024. The gross margin improvement was primarily driven by continued strength across key categories at a higher average unit retail and the expansion of the licensing business, partially offset by tariffs. - Selling and administrative expenses decreased
$2.3 million to$138.6 million or43.7% of Net revenue in the third quarter of 2025, compared with$140.9 million or44.2% of Net revenue in the third quarter of 2024.

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 and other - primarily severance and benefit costs as well as costs related to the strategic alternative exploration for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2025 and primarily severance and benefit costs for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 1, 2024.
- Long-lived asset impairment - charges associated with the non-cash write down of certain long-lived assets for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2025 and November 1, 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 39 weeks ended October 31, 2025 and November 1, 2024 in conjunction with our licensing arrangements commencing in Fiscal 2024.
- Corporate restructuring and other - primarily severance and benefit costs as well as costs related to the strategic alternative exploration for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2025 and primarily severance and benefit costs for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 1, 2024.

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:
