LE Lands End Inc

Lands’ End, Inc. (NASDAQ: LE) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended November 1, 2024.

Andrew McLean, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Throughout the third quarter, we sustained momentum from our deliberate efforts to drive higher quality sales, resulting in growth in both gross margin and gross profit dollars. Our sharp focus on innovation and creating solutions for life’s every journey is supporting the continued evolution of our strategy and brand. In addition to serving our loyal existing customers, our new customer acquisition increased 20% year-over-year, and is up mid-teens year-to-date. As we look to the holiday season, the Black Friday through Cyber Monday weekend met our expectations and was characterized by strong customer engagement with balanced performance across our channels.”

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

• In the third quarter of 2024, Gross Merchandise Value (“GMV”) increased low-double digits compared to the third quarter of 2023. GMV is total order value of all Lands’ End branded 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 third quarter, Net revenue decreased to $318.6 million compared to $324.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the impact of transitioning kids and footwear products to licensing arrangements, Net revenue increased by low-single digits year-over-year.
  • Global eCommerce Net revenue was $211.1 million, a decrease of $5.3 million from $216.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
    • U.S. eCommerce Net revenue was $186.1 million, a decrease of 2.2% from $190.2 million in the third 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 kids and footwear products to licensing arrangements, U.S. eCommerce Net revenue increased by low-double digits year-over-year.
    • Compared to third quarter of fiscal 2023, International eCommerce Net revenue decreased 4.6%, primarily driven by lower promotional activity and a decrease in markdown and clearance sales in third quarter of fiscal 2024. 
  • Outfitters Net revenue was $73.4 million, a decrease of $0.9 million or 1.2% from $74.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The business uniform channel increased year-over-year primarily due to the strength in national accounts. The school uniform channel decreased primarily due to the timing of customer orders earlier in the back-to-school season as compared to the prior year.
  • Third Party Net revenue was $25.5 million, an increase of $1.5 million or 6.3% from $24.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase was primarily due to revenue generated from licensing arrangements.
• Gross profit was $161.1 million, an increase of $8.5 million or 5.6% from $152.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Gross margin increased approximately 360 basis points to 50.6%, compared to 47.0% in third quarter of fiscal 2023. The gross margin improvement was primarily driven by lower promotional activity, leveraging the strength in product solutions and newness across the channels and improved supply chain costs.
• Selling and administrative expenses increased $5.6 million to $140.9 million or 44.2% of Net revenue, compared to $135.3 million or 41.7% of Net revenue in third quarter of fiscal 2023. The approximately 250 basis points increase was driven by higher digital marketing spend focused on new customer acquisition. 
• Net loss was $0.6 million, or $0.02 loss per diluted share compared to Net loss of $112.4 million or $3.52 loss per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Third quarter of fiscal 2023 Net loss includes a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $106.7 million due to the then decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization.
• Adjusted net income was $1.8 million, or $0.06 income per diluted share, compared to an Adjusted net loss of $3.6 million or $0.11 loss per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $20.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $17.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Third Quarter Business Highlights:

• Delivered a 5.6% gross profit and an approximately 360 basis point gross margin improvement, driven by lower promotional activity, strength in product solutions, newness across the channels and improved supply chain costs.
• Achieved the seventh consecutive quarter improvement in inventory with a year-over-year 20% reduction through improved flow and productivity.
• Global new customer acquisition increased by over 20% in the third quarter and mid-teens year-to-date.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents were $30.4 million as of November 1, 2024, compared to $36.8 million as of October 27, 2023.

Inventories, net, was $335.9 million as of November 1, 2024, and $422.2 million as of October 27, 2023. The 20% 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 used in operating activities was $12.2 million for the 39 weeks ended November 1, 2024, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $36.7 million for the 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023. The increase in cash used by operating activities was driven by the year-over-year changes in working capital, primarily the reduction of inventories in year-to-date 2023.

As of November 1, 2024, the Company had $60.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $90.3 million of availability under its ABL Facility, compared to $110.0 million of borrowings and $156.1 million of availability as of October 27, 2023. Additionally, as of November 1, 2024, the Company had $250.3 million of term loan debt outstanding compared to $233.8 million outstanding as of October 27, 2023.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company repurchased $4.0 million of the Company’s common stock under its share repurchase program announced on March 15, 2024. As of November 1, 2024, additional purchases of up to $16.2 million could be made under the program through March 31, 2026.

Outlook

Bernie McCracken, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “In the third quarter, we delivered low-double digit growth in GMV, which exceeded our guidance range, and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 17% year-over-year, which was within our guidance range. We also achieved improvements in gross margin and gross profit, primarily driven by lower promotional activity, strength in product solutions, newness across the channels and improved supply chain costs. By improving profit margins across our business units, we have been able to reinvest in the business, including our marketing efforts focused on new customer acquisition.”

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 the Company expects:

• Net revenue to be between $440.0 million and $480.0 million.
• Gross Merchandise Value expected to deliver low-to-mid single digits percentage growth.
• Net income to be between $18.0 million and $21.0 million and diluted earnings per share to be between $0.58 and $0.67.
• Adjusted net income to be between $16.0 million and $19.0 million and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $0.51 and $0.61.
• Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $43.0 million to $47.0 million.

For fiscal 2024 the Company now expects:

• Net revenue to be between $1.36 billion and $1.40 billion.
• Gross Merchandise Value expected to deliver low-to-mid single digits percentage growth.
• Net income to be between $6.0 million and $9.0 million and diluted earnings per share to be between $0.19 and $0.29.

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 39 weeks ended November 1, 2024 and October 27, 2023, we excluded the impact of the non-cash write down of goodwill and certain long-lived assets.
  • For the 39 weeks ended November 1, 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 39 weeks ended November 1, 2024 and October 27, 2023, we excluded the costs associated with restructuring, primarily severance and benefit costs.
  • For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023, we excluded the closing costs, net of other operating income, 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 earnings (loss) per share:

(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 and 39 weeks ended November 1, 2024 and October 27, 2023, we excluded the impact of the non-cash write down of goodwill and certain long-lived assets.
  • For the 39 weeks ended November 1, 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 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023, we excluded the closing costs, net of other operating income, for Lands’ End Japan closure.
  • For the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended November 1, 2024 and the 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023, we excluded the respective net gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment.
  • For the 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023, we excluded the amortization of transaction related costs associated with the Third Party distribution channel.
