Lands’ End Announces Third Quarter of Fiscal 2015 Results

Dodgeville, WI - December 3, 2015 - Lands’ End, Inc. (NASDAQ: LE) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended October 30, 2015.

Third Quarter Summary:

Net revenue was $334.4 million as compared to $373.1 million in the third quarter last year. Revenue in the Direct segment was $287.8 million and Retail segment revenue was $46.6 million.

Gross margin was 48.6% as compared to 49.1% in the third quarter last year, primarily due to the impact of foreign currency.

Net income was $10.7 million as compared to $18.0 million in the third quarter last year. Net income in the third quarter 2015 was positively impacted by $0.6 million after tax related to the product recall.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $26.5 million as compared to $39.9 million in the third quarter last year.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were $105.0 million.

Federica Marchionni, Lands’ End’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “While our third quarter financial results did not meet our expectations, which we attribute to both external and internal factors, we made important progress on a number of initiatives that we believe will position the Company for the future.  Sales in the third quarter were impacted by the challenging retail environment, as well as unseasonably warm weather which negatively affected the performance of our cold weather categories. Our sales performance was also the result of a pullback in promotions to focus on higher margin sales, reduced catalog circulation to lapsed and less profitable customers, and a lack of product acceptance. We revamped the product presentation and messaging in our core catalog, expanded our e-commerce business with site enhancements and a fully shoppable digital catalog, debuted a spectacular campaign with renowned photographer Bruce Weber, and opened our first ever pop-up stores on New York’s Fifth Avenue and in Boston’s Copley Square.” 

Ms. Marchionni continued, “Looking ahead, we remain intently focused on the continued execution of our strategic initiatives, particularly around marketing and branding, as well as in our ecommerce and catalog businesses. We remain committed to our brand strategy which is grounded in bringing the quality, value and service that Lands’ End is known for, to a broader customer base.”

Third Quarter Results

Net revenue was $334.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $373.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Direct segment net revenue decreased 10.1% to $287.8 million primarily due to lower sales in the U.S. market attributable to a reduced promotional approach, planned reductions in catalog, a highly promotional retail environment, lack of customer acceptance of the product offering and unseasonably warm weather compared to last year. International revenues decreased due to the impact of foreign currency; excluding the impact of foreign currency, international revenues would have increased slightly. Net revenue in the Retail segment decreased 11.7% to $46.6 million driven by a decrease in same store sales and a reduction in the number of Lands' End Shops at Sears. Same store sales decreased 8.9%, due to the same factors that impacted our direct segment in addition to declining traffic in the Company's Lands' End Shops at Sears. On October 30, 2015, the Company operated 227 Lands' End Shops at Sears, 14 global Lands' End Inlet stores and five international shop-in-shops compared to 242 Lands' End Shops at Sears, 14 global Lands' End Inlet stores, and five international shop-in-shops on October 31, 2014.




Gross profit was $162.4 million, or 48.6% of net revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared with gross profit of $183.3 million, or 49.1% of net revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Gross margin was negatively impacted by approximately 50 basis points from changes in currency exchange rates.

Selling and administrative expenses were $135.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $143.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Of the $7.5 million decrease in the third quarter, changes in currency exchange rates favorably impacted selling and administrative expenses by approximately $2.4 million. The currency neutral savings were primarily attributable to lower marketing investment and decreases in incentive compensation expenses. As a percentage of net revenue, selling and administrative expenses were 40.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to 38.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The deleveraging of selling and administrative expenses was attributable to decreased revenues, partially offset by lower costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $4.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $4.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, primarily attributable to an increase in fully depreciated assets.

Other operating (income) / expense, net includes $1.0 million of income related to the product recall reserve recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.  The $1.0 million is a reversal of the product recall reserve and a vendor payment received in relation to the recall. The customer return rates for the recalled products have been lower than estimated despite the efforts by the Company to contact impacted consumers. The remaining reserve is insignificant.

As a result of the above factors, operating income decreased to $23.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 from $35.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Interest expense was $6.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, relatively flat with the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Other expense, net includes a charge of $1.2 million from the reduction to a tax receivable from our former parent as a result of favorable tax settlements in certain state tax jurisdictions. Consequently there is a $1.2 million reduction in income tax expense (before consideration of federal income tax impact).

Income tax expense was $5.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared with $11.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The effective tax rate was 34.2% due to the previously mentioned favorable tax settlements in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared with 38.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Net income was $10.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared with net income of $18.0 million, or $0.56 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Earnings per share were benefited by approximately $0.02 as a result of the reversal of the product recall accrual. The impact of changes in currency exchange rates negatively impacted Net income by $1.4 million (after tax) and earnings per share by $0.04.

As a result of the factors above, Adjusted EBITDA1 was $26.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $39.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Adjusted EBITDA1 excludes the impact of the reversal of the product recall accrual. The impact of changes in currency exchange rates negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA1 by $2.3 million.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents were $105.0 million on October 30, 2015 compared to $105.6 million on October 31, 2014. Net cash used in operations for the 39 weeks ended October 30, 2015 was $94.8 million compared to net cash provided by operations of $85.6 million in the same period last year primarily due to:



Increased inventory receipts to replenish inventory levels as beginning inventory for fiscal 2015 was $69 million less than beginning inventory for fiscal 2014
Lower operating revenues
One-time impact of items in the prior year that were settled through intercompany transactions with our former parent prior to the separation

Inventory increased 8.1% to $436.7 million on October 30, 2015 from $403.9 million on October 31, 2014 due to lower revenues and an increase in inventory receipts.

The Company had $156.5 million of availability under its asset-based senior secured credit facility and had long-term debt of $502.1 million as of October 30, 2015.

Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call on Thursday, December 3, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. EDT to review its third quarter financial results and related matters. The call may be accessed through the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at http://investors.landsend.com.

Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(1)Adjusted EBITDA - In addition to our Net income, for purposes of evaluating operating performance, we use an Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which is adjusted to exclude certain significant items as set forth below.
Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our business, as well as for executive compensation metrics, for comparable periods. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions as it excludes a number of important cash and non-cash recurring items.

While Adjusted EBITDA(1) 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 costs.
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. We have adjusted our results for these items to make our statements more comparable and therefore more useful to investors as the items are not representative of our ongoing operations.
For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2015, we exclude benefits related to the reversal of a portion of the product recall accrual recognized in Fiscal 2014 as these were unusual events that affect the comparability of our financial results.
For 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014, we exclude the gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment as management considers the gains or losses on disposal of assets to result from investing decisions rather than ongoing operations.
