Lands’ End, Inc. (NASDAQ: LE) today announced financial results for
the second quarter ended August 2, 2024.
Andrew McLean, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our robust
second quarter results continue to prove our solutions-based
strategy is working. A focus on innovation across our business is
evolving the Lands’ End brand and assortment, attracting new
customers and further improving our supply chain and inventory
position. These achievements highlight our dedication to driving
growth and efficiency while delivering value to our customers and
shareholders.”
Second Quarter Financial Highlights
- In the second quarter of 2024, Gross Merchandise Value (“GMV”)
increased mid-single digits compared to the second quarter of 2023.
GMV is total order value of all merchandise sold to customers
through business-to-consumer and business-to-business channels, as
well as the retail value of the merchandise sold through third
party distribution channels.
- For the second quarter, Net revenue decreased to $317.2 million
compared to $323.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal
2023.
- Global eCommerce Net revenue was $211.3 million, a decrease of
$7.4 million from $218.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal
2023.
- U.S. eCommerce Net revenue was $188.3 million, a decrease of
3.9% from $195.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The
decrease in U.S. eCommerce was primarily driven by the transition
of kids and footwear products from a direct to a license model,
lower promotional activity and improved inventory management
resulting in increased gross profit from higher gross margins.
Excluding the impact of transitioning the kids and footwear
products to licensing arrangements, U.S. eCommerce revenue
increased by mid-single digits year-over-year.
- Compared to second quarter of fiscal 2023, International
eCommerce Net revenue increased 0.9%, primarily driven by an
increase in full price sales, lower promotional activity and
improved inventory management resulting in increased gross profit
from higher gross margins.
- Outfitters Net revenue was $63.2 million, a decrease of $4.8
million or 7.1% from $68.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal
2023. The school uniform channel delivered a strong start to back
to school season with a mid-single digit revenue increase over last
year. The business uniform channel decreased year-over-year
primarily due to the timing changes with certain national accounts
and some pricing resistance from smaller accounts as a result of
macroeconomic challenges.
- Third Party Net revenue was $30.1 million, an increase of $5.7
million or 23.4% from $24.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal
2023. The increase was primarily due to revenue generated from
licensing and wholesale arrangements.
- Gross profit was $151.9 million, an increase of $12.3 million
or 8.8% from $139.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
Gross margin increased approximately 470 basis points to 47.9%,
compared to 43.2% in second quarter of fiscal 2023. The gross
margin improvement was primarily driven by leveraging the strength
in product solutions and newness across the channels, lower
promotional activity, reduction in clearance inventory and improved
supply chain costs.
- Selling and administrative expenses increased $11.6 million to
$135.5 million or 42.7% of Net revenue, compared to $123.9 million
or 38.3% of Net revenue in second quarter of fiscal 2023. The
approximately 440 basis points increase was driven by higher
digital marketing spend focused on new customer acquisition, third
party professional services and higher incentive related personnel
costs.
- Net loss was $5.3 million, or $0.17 loss per diluted share
compared to Net loss of $8.0 million or $0.25 loss per diluted
share in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
- Adjusted net loss was $0.7 million, or $0.02 loss per diluted
share, driven by a non-cash charge related to long-lived asset
impairment and restructuring costs, compared to an Adjusted net
loss of $7.6 million or $0.24 loss per diluted share in the second
quarter of fiscal 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $17.1 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2024 compared to $15.8 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2023.
Second Quarter Business Highlights:
- Delivered a 470 basis point improvement in gross margin, driven
by strength in product solutions and newness across the channels,
lower promotional activity and improved inventory management.
- Achieved the sixth consecutive quarter improvement in inventory
with a year-over-year 21% reduction through improved flow and
productivity.
- Global new customer acquisition increased mid-single
digits.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
Cash and cash equivalents were $25.6 million as of August 2,
2024, compared to $26.6 million as of July 28, 2023.
Inventories, net, was $312.0 million as of August 2, 2024, and
$396.1 million as of July 28, 2023. The 21% 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 provided by operating activities was $4.9 million for
the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024, compared to $54.8 million for
the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2023. Through our concerted
efforts to decrease inventory levels during 2023, we provided cash
of $30.4 million through the end of the second quarter 2023. We
have maintained our lower inventory level realized at the end of
fiscal year 2023 through efficient inventory management and
therefore we used cash of $10.3 million through the end of the
second quarter 2024.
As of August 2, 2024, the Company had $20.0 million of
borrowings outstanding and $117.5 million of availability under its
ABL Facility, compared to $70.0 million of borrowings and $128.8
million of availability as of July 28, 2023. Additionally, as
of August 2, 2024, the Company had $253.5 million of term loan debt
outstanding compared to $237.2 million outstanding as of
July 28, 2023.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company
repurchased $3.7 million of the Company’s common stock under its
share repurchase program announced on March 15, 2024. As of August
2, 2024, additional purchases of up to $20.3 million could be made
under the program through March 31, 2026.
Outlook
Bernie McCracken, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We are
pleased with our performance during the quarter, which resulted in
Net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA at the high end of our guidance
range and strong growth in Gross Merchandise Value. Additionally,
our deliberate efforts to prioritize profitability and balance
sheet efficiency is evidenced by a 9% increase in gross profit,
driven by our sixth consecutive quarter of gross margin
expansion.”
For the third quarter of fiscal 2024 the Company expects:
- Net revenue to be between $300.0 million and $340.0
million.
- Gross Merchandise Value expected to deliver mid-to-high single
digits percentage growth.

and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $0.00 and
$0.10.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $19.0 million to $23.0
million.
For fiscal 2024 the Company now expects:

digits percentage growth.

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:
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024, we excluded the
impact of the non-cash write down of certain long-lived
assets.
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024, we excluded the
charges to exit the kids and footwear lines of business, including
inventory excess and obsolescence reserves, inventory discounts and
operational costs, in conjunction with our licensing arrangements
which commenced in Fiscal 2024.
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024 and July 28, 2023,
we excluded severance and benefit costs associated with
restructuring.
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 28, 2023, we excluded the
net operating income (loss) from liquidation and closing costs for
Lands’ End Japan closure.
The following tables set forth, for the periods
indicated, a reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted net loss and

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:
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024, we excluded the
impact of the non-cash write down of certain long-lived
assets.
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024, we excluded the

which commenced in Fiscal 2024.
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024 and July 28, 2023,
we excluded severance and benefit costs associated with

- For the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 28, 2023, we excluded
the net operating income (loss) from liquidation and closing costs
for Lands’ End Japan closure.
- For the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024 and July 28,
2023, we excluded the respective net gain or loss on disposal of
property and equipment.
- For the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 28, 2023, we excluded
the amortization of transaction related costs associated with the
Third Party distribution channel.
