Good morning, everyone, and welcome, Charlie.

What's your North Star going forward? And then I have a quick question on just the here and now.

Eric Better Analyst — SCC Research

Good morning. Just a few quick questions. Let's talk about international here. What should we be thinking about? I know prior people it was a kind of a fashion, a little bit more fashion forward, a little more of a driver of trend. Is that still how you look at that? and how does that fit in terms of the JV and the other international opportunities?

The U.K., et cetera.

Eric Better Analyst — SCC Research

Talk about the WHP piece a little bit. When do you believe – okay, so where are we in terms of adding new licenses, and when do you believe that those licenses will start to kick in and help drive, you know, the joint venture overall profitability, which you share?

Jim Gooch CFO

Our guidance reflects the – and a few of the new –

Our next question comes from Michael Kopinski with Noble Capital Markets. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Michael Kropinski Analyst — Noble Capital Markets

And, Charlie, welcome to Land's End. The company appears to, you know, the quarter indicated that you have some favorable underlying revenue trends, and I kind of want to drill down on that a little bit. The outfitters grew like 4.4% despite continued school uniform processing challenges. And I was just wondering, can you give us some color on how the order book is trending now? And what growth rate do you believe the business can sustain once operations are fully normalized? And in Q2, the U.S. commerce revenue increased 9%. And I think part of that was a carryover for the Q1 distribution disruption. What would have been the underlying e-commerce growth, excluding that catch-up benefit? it?

Jim Gooch CFO

The U.S. business on a year-to-day basis.

Michael Kropinski Analyst — Noble Capital Markets

And obviously, inventory is up a little bit, and it seems like you're saying that it's a little bit more normalized. Can you talk about specific inventory that you're leaning into into the quarter as you kind of go into the holiday season here?

Jim Gooch CFO

Michael Kropinski Analyst — Noble Capital Markets
