Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights

• For the fourth quarter, Net revenue decreased 2.8% to $514.9 million compared to $529.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
  • Global eCommerce Net revenue was $404.9 million, a decrease of 2.3% from $414.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 included Lands’ End Japan Net revenue of $7.2 million. Lands’ End Japan closed at the end of fiscal 2022. Excluding Lands’ End Japan in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, Global eCommerce net revenue decreased 0.6%.
    • Compared to fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, U.S. eCommerce Net revenue increased 0.1% largely driven by a concerted effort to reduce promotional activity and improved inventory management compared to the prior year resulting in higher margins with lower clearance inventory sales.
    • Compared to fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, which included the results of Lands’ End Japan, International eCommerce Net revenue decreased 20.2%.
      • Compared to fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, Europe eCommerce Net revenue decreased 6.2% primarily driven by assortment editing with a focus on key categories, reduced clearance inventory sales and continued macroeconomic challenges.
  • Outfitters Net revenue was $53.7 million for fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, a decrease of $6.8 million or 11.3% from $60.5 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by the conclusion of the Delta Air Lines contract in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the $5.1 million decrease in year-over-year revenue from the Delta Air Lines business, Net revenue for the Outfitters business decreased 3.2% mainly due to the timing of school uniform shipments compared to prior year.
  • Third Party Net revenue was $40.5 million, an increase of $1.3 million or 3.3% from $39.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily attributed to the continued growth of online sales through existing marketplaces.
• Gross profit was $195.4 million, an increase of $23.3 million or 13.5% from $172.1 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Gross margin increased approximately 550 basis points to 38.0%, compared to 32.5% in fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The Gross margin improvement was predominantly driven by new products across the brand, strength in transitional outerwear and adjacent product categories, reduction in sales of clearance inventory and improvements in supply chain costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year.
• Selling and administrative expenses increased $22.2 million to $172.5 million or 33.5% of Net revenue, compared to $150.3 million or 28.4% of Net revenue in fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The approximately 510 basis points increase was driven by higher incentive related personnel costs, digital marketing spend and external third party services to support strategic growth initiatives.
• Net loss was $8.6 million, or $0.27 loss per diluted share compared to Net loss of $3.3 million or $0.10 loss per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
• Adjusted net income was $8.0 million, or $0.25 earnings per diluted share compared to Adjusted net loss of $1.4 million or $0.04 loss per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $31.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $24.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
  

Full Year Financial Highlights:

• For the fiscal year, net revenue decreased 5.3% to $1.47 million compared to $1.56 billion in fiscal 2022.
  
  • Global eCommerce Net revenue was $1.0 billion, a decrease of 7.1% from $1.1 billion in fiscal 2022. Fiscal 2022 included Lands’ End Japan Net revenue of $32.7 million. Excluding Lands’ End Japan in fiscal 2022, Global eCommerce Net revenue decreased 4.3%.
    
    • Net revenue in US eCommerce decreased by 2.7% and Europe eCommerce decreased by 15.7%, both primarily driven by promotional productivity in key product solutions and adjacent product categories with improved inventory management resulting in higher margins with lower clearance inventory sales.
  • Outfitters Net revenue was $269.9 million for fiscal 2023, an increase of $4.0 million or 1.5% from $265.9 million in fiscal 2022. The results include inventory sales to Delta Air Lines at the conclusion of their five-year contract in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
  • Third Party Net revenue was $111.8 million, a decrease of $7.2 million or 6.0% from $119.0 million in fiscal 2022, largely driven by a decline in demand with one wholesale partner partially offset by growth in online sales through other existing marketplaces.
• Gross profit was $625.5 million, an increase of $31.7 million or 5.3% from $593.8 million during fiscal 2022. Gross margin increased approximately 430 basis points to 42.5% of total Net revenue in fiscal 2023, compared to 38.2% of total Net revenue in fiscal 2022. The basis point improvement in Gross margin was predominantly driven by leveraging the strength in product solutions and newness across the channels, reduction in clearance inventory and improvements in supply chain costs for Fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year.
  
• Selling and administrative expenses increased $22.8 million to $550.2 million or 37.4% of Net revenue, compared to $527.4 million or 33.9% of Net revenue in fiscal 2022. The 350 basis point increase was driven by deleveraging from lower revenues and higher incentive related personnel costs, partially offset by lower digital marketing spend and continued cost controls.
  
• Net loss was $130.7 million, or $4.09 loss per diluted share compared to Net loss of $12.5 million or $0.38 loss per diluted share in fiscal 2022. Net loss in fiscal 2023 includes a non-cash $106.7 million impairment of goodwill due to the decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization and additional significant events.
  
• Adjusted net loss was $4.8 million, or $0.15 loss per diluted share compared to Adjusted net loss of $7.7 million or $0.23 loss per diluted share in fiscal 2022.
  
• Adjusted EBITDA was $84.3 million compared to $70.5 million in fiscal 2022.
  

Fourth Quarter Business Highlights:

• Delivered 13.5% year-over-year increase in gross profit, or 550 basis point improvement in Gross margin, driven by new products across the brand, strength in transitional outerwear and adjacent product categories, and improved inventory management.
  
• Achieved a 29.1% reduction in year-over-year inventory through improved management.
  
• Increased financial flexibility through the execution of a new $260 million term loan maturing in December 2028.
  

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents were $25.3 million as of February 2, 2024, compared to $39.6 million as of January 27, 2023.

Inventories, net, was $301.7 million as of February 2, 2024, and $425.5 million as of January 27, 2023. The 29.1% 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 provided by operations was $130.6 million for the 53 weeks ended February 2, 2024, compared to Net cash used in operations of $36.4 million for the 52 weeks ended January 27, 2023. The $167.0 million increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the year-over-year improvement in inventory flow and productivity.

As of February 2, 2024, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and $167.2 million of availability under its ABL Facility, compared to $100.0 million of borrowings and $163.8 million of availability as of January 27, 2023.

Outlook

Bernie McCracken, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We expect to continue to prioritize high-quality sales and improved cash flows, which we believe will enable Lands’ End to drive continued gross profit and margin expansion. When comparing today’s outlook to the prior year period, keep in mind that the first quarter of fiscal 2023 included the inventory sales from the conclusion of the Delta Air Lines contract, positively impacting revenue by over $25 million and generating approximately $12 million in Adjusted EBITDA.”

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.

The Company believes presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors, allowing them to assess how the business performed excluding the effects of non-recurring or non-operational amounts. The Company believes the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates comparing the results being reported against past and future results by eliminating amounts that it believes are not comparable between periods and assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s 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 other significant 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 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 53 weeks ended February 2, 2024 and 13 weeks and 52 weeks ended January 27, 2023, we excluded the impacts of the non-cash write down of goodwill and certain long-lived assets.
• For the 14 weeks and 53 weeks ended February 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 commencing in Fiscal 2024.
• For the 14 weeks and 53 weeks ended February 2, 2024, we excluded severance and related costs associated with a reduction in corporate positions, including positions in our Hong Kong sourcing office.
• For the 14 weeks and 53 weeks ended February 2, 2024, we excluded the loss on extinguishment of debt.
• For the 14 and 53 weeks ended February 2, 2024 and the 13 and 52 weeks ended January 27, 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 income (loss) and Adjusted diluted Net earnings (loss) per share:

While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of operating performance, and 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 53 weeks ended February 2, 2024 and 13 weeks and 52 weeks ended January 27, 2023, we excluded the impacts of the non-cash write down of goodwill and certain long-lived assets.
    
  • For the 14 weeks and 53 weeks ended February 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 commencing in Fiscal 2024.
    
  • For the 14 weeks and 53 weeks ended February 2, 2024, we excluded severance and related costs associated with a reduction in corporate positions, including positions in our Hong Kong sourcing office.
    
  • For the 14 and 53 weeks ended February 2, 2024 and the 13 and 52 weeks ended January 27, 2023, we excluded the net operating income (loss) from liquidation and closing costs for Lands’ End Japan closure.
    
  • For the 14 and 53 weeks ended February 2, 2024 and the 13 and 52 weeks ended January 27, 2023, we excluded the respective net gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment.
    
  • For the 14 and 53 weeks ended February 2, 2024 and the 13 and 52 weeks ended January 27, 2023, we excluded the amortization of transaction related costs associated with the Third Party distribution channel.
