Lands’ End Announces First Quarter 2024 Results
DODGEVILLE, Wis, June 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lands’ End, Inc. (NASDAQ: LE) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended May 3, 2024.
Andrew McLean, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our performance in the first quarter continued the considerable momentum we generated in 2023 and resulted in an increase in our Gross Merchandise Value, an increase in gross profit dollars and significant gross margin expansion. Our value creation strategy, centered around Lands’ End being the innovative, asset-light solutions-based brand that’s ready for life’s every journey, is yielding the operational and financial results we’re targeting and positioning us well to further build the brand and grow our loyal customer base.”
First Quarter Financial Highlights
- Gross Merchandise Value (“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. In the first quarter of 2024, GMV increased low single digits compared to the first quarter of 2023.
- For the first quarter, Net revenue decreased 7.8% to $285.5 million compared to $309.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the $26.9 million in revenue from the conclusion of the Delta Air Lines business in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, Net revenue increased 1.0%.
- Global eCommerce Net revenue was $195.5 million, a decrease of 3.7% from $203.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
- Compared to first quarter of fiscal 2023, U.S. eCommerce Net revenue decreased 4.0% largely driven by a concerted effort to reduce promotional activity and improved inventory management compared to the prior year resulting in increased gross profit from higher gross margins.
- Compared to first quarter of fiscal 2023, International eCommerce Net revenue decreased 1.7%, primarily driven by a concerted effort to reduce promotional activity and improved inventory management compared to the prior year resulting in increased gross profit from higher gross margins.
- Outfitters Net revenue was $42.7 million for first quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $31.3 million or 42.3% from $74.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by the conclusion of the Delta Air Lines contract in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the $26.9 million decrease in year-over-year revenue from the Delta Air Lines business, Net revenue for the Outfitters business decreased 9.3%.
- Third Party Net revenue was $37.5 million, an increase of $14.5 million or 62.9% from $23.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase was primarily due to revenue generated from licensing arrangements, including $10.5 million of Lands’ End produced inventory sold to a licensee in connection with the transition of the Kids business. Online marketplaces saw increased gross profit from improved gross margin primarily driven by the expansion of the Company’s strategy to focus on higher quality sales.
- Global eCommerce Net revenue was $195.5 million, a decrease of 3.7% from $203.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
- Gross profit was $139.0 million, an increase of $1.1 million or 0.8% from $137.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the $12.7 million from the conclusion of the Delta Air Lines business in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, Gross profit increased $13.8 million or 11.0% compared to the prior year. Gross margin increased approximately 410 basis points to 48.7%, compared to 44.6% in first 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 improvements in supply chain costs.
- Selling and administrative expenses increased $8.9 million to $127.4 million or 44.6% of Net revenue, compared to $118.5 million or 38.3% of Net revenue in first quarter of fiscal 2023. The approximately 630 basis points increase was driven by deleveraging from lower revenues and higher digital marketing spend focused on new customer acquisition.
- Net loss was $6.4 million, or $0.20 loss per diluted share compared to Net loss of $1.7 million or $0.05 loss per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
- Adjusted net loss was $6.2 million, or $0.20 loss per diluted share compared to Adjusted net loss of $1.6 million or $0.05 loss per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $11.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $19.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the $12.6 million from the conclusion of the Delta Air Lines business in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 68.1%.
First Quarter Business Highlights:
- Delivered a 410 basis point improvement in gross margin, driven by new products across the brand, strength in product solutions and newness across the channels, lower promotional activity and improved inventory management.
- Achieved the fifth consecutive quarter improvement in inventory with a year-over-year 23% reduction through improved flow and productivity.
- New customer acquisition increased high-single digits globally in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
Cash and cash equivalents were $27.4 million as of May 3, 2024, compared to $7.3 million as of April 28, 2023.
Inventories, net, was $288.6 million as of May 3, 2024, and $376.1 million as of April 28, 2023. The 23% decrease in inventory was driven by the 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 $25.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $10.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The $15.0 million increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in Net loss and changes in working capital.
As of May 3, 2024, the Company had $40.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $133.8 million of availability under its ABL Facility, compared to $100.0 million of borrowings and $136.1 million of availability as of April 28, 2023. Additionally, as of May 3, 2024, the Company had $256.8 million of term loan debt outstanding compared to $240.6 million outstanding as of April 28, 2023.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company repurchased $1.0 million of the Company’s common stock under its share repurchase program announced on March 15, 2024. As of May 3, 2024, additional purchases of up to $24.0 million could be made under the program through March 31, 2026.
Outlook
Bernie McCracken, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “The Company’s continued focus on expanding profitability, including by better managing inventories, which were down 23% year-over-year, is continuing to generate favorable results which outperformed our guidance and setting a strong foundation for future growth. When excluding the impact of the conclusion of the Delta Air Lines contract in Q1 2023, the Company generated increases at the top and bottom line in the first quarter, with a 60+% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA.”
For the second quarter of fiscal 2024 the Company expects:
- Net revenue to be between $290.0 million and $320.0 million.
- Gross Merchandise Value expected to deliver mid to high-single digits percentage growth.
- Net loss to be between $8.5 million and $6.0 million and diluted loss per share to be between $0.27 and $0.19.

- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $14.0 million to $17.0 million.
For fiscal 2024 the Company now expects:
- Net revenue to be between $1.36 billion and $1.45 billion.

- Net income to be between $2.5 million and $10.0 million and diluted earnings per share to be between $0.08 and $0.32.

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 weeks ended May 3, 2024, we excluded the severance and benefit costs associated with reduction in corporate positions.
- For the 13 weeks ended April 28, 2023, we excluded the closing costs, net of other operating income, recorded for the Lands’ End Japan closure.
- For the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024, we excluded the severance and benefit costs associated with reduction in corporate positions.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted net loss and Adjusted diluted net loss per share:
| Unaudited | 13 Weeks Ended | |||||||
| (in thousands, except per share amounts) | May 3, 2024 | April 28, 2023 | ||||||
| Net loss | $ | (6,442 | ) | $ | (1,652 | ) | ||
| Corporate restructuring | 342 | — | ||||||

| Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding | 31,439 | 32,443 | ||||||
(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:
- For the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024, we excluded the severance and benefit costs associated with reduction in corporate positions.
- For the 13 weeks ended April 28, 2023, we excluded the closing costs, net of other operating income, for the Lands’ End Japan closure.
- For the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024 and April 28, 2023, we excluded the respective net gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment.
- For the 13 weeks ended April 28, 2023, we excluded the amortization of transaction related costs associated with the Third Party distribution channel.
- For the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024, we excluded the severance and benefit costs associated with reduction in corporate positions.
