Item 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On June 2, 2020, Lands’ End, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its preliminary financial results for its first quarter ended May 1, 2020. A copy of the Company’s press release containing this information is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibit shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference to such filing. The information in this report, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item 8.01Other Events.
The Company is also filing this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Order Under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies, SEC Release No. 34-88465, dated March 25, 2020 (the “Order”).
Delay in Filing 10-Q
In reliance on the Order, the Company will delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 1, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”), originally due on June 10, 2020. The Company anticipates filing the Quarterly Report with the SEC no later than July 24, 2020.
The Company requires additional time to finalize its Quarterly Report due to circumstances related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Areas such as impairment review of goodwill and long-lived assets, inventory reserves, lease accounting, other contingencies and accounting for the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) are complexities due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that the Company anticipates reviewing further prior to the finalization of the financial statements. Among other factors, the furlough of a majority of its corporate staff through May 26, 2020 and the “Safer at Home” order that was in effect for the State of Wisconsin from March 26, 2020 to May 14, 2020 materially impacted the Company’s employees, including employees who assist in preparing the Quarterly Report. In addition, since mid-March, management of the Company has been focused on responding to the pandemic and implementing programs and changes at the Company, including those regarding furloughs, workforce reductions, inventory management, liquidity management and financial flexibility, reductions in capital investment, store closures and re-opening plans, and the safety and wellness of employees in operations that have remained operational on its campus (primarily its distribution and customer care centers).
Risk Factors
In addition, the Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 with the following risk factors, which should be read in conjunction with the other risk factors presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Risks Related to Our Financial Performance and Condition
The outbreak of, and local, state and federal governmental responses to, the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly disrupted and will continue to disrupt our business, which has and could continue to materially affect our financial condition and operating results for an extended period of time.
The outbreak of, and local, state and federal governmental responses to, the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as our responses to the outbreak, have significantly disrupted and will continue to disrupt our business. In the United States and other regions, social distancing restrictions have been enacted, and in many areas, individuals are restricted from non-essential movements outside of their homes. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and these changing conditions, we temporarily closed our 26 retail stores starting March 16, 2020. Once these locations are allowed to and we deem it appropriate to reopen, which we anticipate will occur starting in June 2020, we will be operating under restrictions designed to preserve the safety and wellness of our employees and our retail customers, which could decrease customer traffic and adversely impact sales.
Our operations could be further disrupted if any of our corporate staff or distribution center personnel is diagnosed with COVID-19, which could require the quarantine of some or all of the employees who come into contact with the infected individual and the temporary closure of our facilities. During the last week of May, the Company learned that several of its employees had tested positive for COVID-19. If a significant percentage of our workforce is unable to work, due to COVID-19 illness, quarantine, limitations on travel or other government restrictions in connection with COVID-19, our operations may be negatively impacted, potentially materially adversely affecting our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. Our vendors, manufacturers and
other suppliers could be similarly adversely impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, and our operations and sales could be adversely impacted by such supply chain interruptions.
Additionally, an outbreak or perceived outbreak of COVID-19 connected to one or more of our offices, distribution facilities or retail locations could cause negative publicity directed at our brand and cause customers to avoid our products or retail locations. We cannot predict how long the pandemic will last or whether it will reoccur, what additional restrictions may be enacted, or if individuals will be comfortable visiting our stores during or following social distancing protocols. Similarly, we cannot predict the effects the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the apparel or retail industry as a whole. We expect that as retail locations reopen, across the industry, we will face a highly promotional environment, as our competitors aggressively price their products in order to raise cash and clear excess inventory. All of these factors could materially adversely affect our financial performance.
Our efforts to address our rent obligations for our retail locations during the COVID-19 pandemic are ongoing, and our ability to obtain rent concessions will vary by landlord. While we continue to engage in discussions with our landlords, certain of our landlords have alleged that we are in default of our leases with them. If we are unable to reach an agreement with these landlords, we may face eviction proceedings, which could be expensive to litigate and may jeopardize our ability to continue operations at the impacted location. The COVID-19 pandemic has also adversely affected our ability to open new stores, and we have paused construction of five new stores since mid-March. These changes may materially adversely affect our ability to grow our business, particularly if these construction pauses are in place for a significant amount of time.
In addition, while we have taken actions to manage our liquidity position in response to COVID-19, we may need to seek additional sources of liquidity, and we are actively seeking to refinance our Term Loan B debt, which matures on April 4, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting the availability of liquidity generally in the credit markets, and there can be no guarantee that additional liquidity will be available on favorable or acceptable terms, or at all, especially the longer the COVID-19 pandemic lasts or if it were to reoccur.
The impact global and domestic economic conditions have on consumer discretionary spending and on our business-to-business customers could materially adversely affect our financial performance.
Apparel purchases are discretionary expenditures that historically have been influenced by domestic and global economic conditions. The outbreak of, and local, state and federal governmental responses to, the COVID-19 pandemic have led to a national and global economic downturn. Consumer discretionary spending has weakened, and some experts are predicting that it will continue to weaken. Reduced discretionary spending could influence our sales both online and in retail locations, as well as customer traffic in retail locations where our products are sold, which in turn could have a material impact on our financial performance.
Global and domestic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, that have an effect on consumer discretionary spending include, but may not be limited to: unemployment, general and industry-specific inflation, consumer confidence, consumer purchasing and saving habits, credit conditions, stock market performance, home values, population growth, household incomes and tax policy. Material changes to governmental policy related to domestic and international fiscal concerns, and/or changes in central bank policies with respect to monetary policy, also could affect consumer discretionary spending. Any of these additional factors affecting consumer discretionary spending may further influence our customers’ purchasing preferences, potentially having a further material impact on our financial performance.
In addition, approximately 60% of our national accounts business-to-business sales, made by Lands’ End Outfitters, are to travel-related companies. These customers’ businesses have been adversely impacted by COVID-19, and therefore, we have experienced a dramatic decrease in uniform sales to this sector. Should these travel-related companies continue to be adversely impacted, our sales to them would be adversely impacted. Similarly, our small and mid-size business customers’ businesses have been adversely impacted, resulting in a decrease in sales to those organization. The timing of the recovery of our small to mid-size business customers will impact our sales to those organizations. Finally, with the closure of schools during the pandemic, our sales of school uniforms have been reduced. Should schools fail to reopen in the Fall of 2020, school uniform sales would continue to be adversely impacted.

Exhibit 99.1
Lands' End Announces Preliminary First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results
Strong revenue and profit trends disrupted by mid-quarter effects of COVID-19
Global eCommerce revenue grew double digits in May compared to the same period last year
Provided second quarter fiscal 2020 net revenue outlook
DODGEVILLE, Wis., June 2, 2020, (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Lands' End, Inc. (NASDAQ: LE) today announced preliminary financial results for the first quarter ended May 1, 2020 and commented on its business trends. Finalization of the results is pending the completion of the Company’s quarterly procedures and preparation and filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which will require additional time this quarter due to COVID-19.
First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Highlights:
|
|
• |
For the first quarter, net revenue decreased 17.3% to $217.0 million, compared to $262.4 million in the first quarter last year, due to decreased demand attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. |
|
|
◦ |
Net revenue grew 11.1% in February 2020 compared to prior year, reflecting strong performances across all business units. |
|
|
◦ |
U.S. eCommerce net revenue declined 16.5% for the first quarter due to decreased demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic while International eCommerce net revenue remained approximately flat. |
|
|
◦ |
Company operated stores achieved comparable store sales growth of 14.2% in February before closing mid-March. |
|
|
◦ |
Outfitters successfully completed the remainder of the American Airlines uniform launch totaling $4.0 million revenue during the first quarter with the total launch approximating $44.0 million. For the first quarter, Outfitters net revenue declined 26.2% driven by decreased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. |
|
|
• |
Gross margin decreased by approximately 230 basis points to 43.4% as compared to 45.7% in the first quarter last year primarily in response to additional promotional activity throughout the industry and additional inventory reserves. |
|
|
• |
Selling and administrative expenses decreased $11.0 million to $105.8 million compared to $116.8 million in the first quarter last year driven by the reduction of operating expenses and structural costs. |
|
|
• |
Net loss was $20.6 million or $(0.64) per diluted share, as compared to $6.8 million or $(0.21) per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. |
|
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to a loss of $11.6 million compared to positive $3.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. |
COVID-19 Actions
|
|
• |
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company took decisive actions to protect the business, improve financial flexibility, preserve liquidity and continue to service customers, which included: |
|
|
◦ |
Reducing operating expenses and structural costs by enacting employee furloughs, and temporary tiered salary reductions for the executive team and corporate staff starting in the first quarter, and a reduction of approximately 10% of the Company’s corporate staff in the second quarter. |
|
|
◦ |
Implementing revised operating processes at the Company’s Wisconsin distribution centers in accordance with guidance from public health officials and government agencies. |
|
|
◦ |
Substantially reducing inventory receipts for Fall and Holiday 2020 to protect against potential consumer demand weakness. |
|
|
◦ |
Lowering capital expenditure plan to approximately $20.0 million from approximately $40.0 million for fiscal year 2020. |
|
|
◦ |
Increasing the size of its asset based lending facility to $200.0 million in March and drawing $75.0 million under the credit line in the first quarter to improve working capital and cash on hand. At the conclusion of May, borrowings under the asset based lending facility had decreased to $50 million. |
Jerome Griffith, Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, “While COVID-19 has created a complex environment on many fronts we believe that our business model provides the flexibility to mitigate many of the challenges this has created across the industry. Following strong trends early in the first quarter, we saw the impact of COVID-19 in mid-March. Beginning in mid-April, we were pleased to see a rebound in our global eCommerce channel, which accelerated to double digit growth in May. We believe these trends demonstrate the resiliency of our business and we are no less optimistic about our future for several reasons. First, we are a digitally driven company with approximately 80% of our business in direct-to-consumer eCommerce. Second, we provide key item basics at great value with great service, at a time when we are seeing growing demand for our offerings. Third, we have demonstrated the adeptness and agility to appropriately adjust our cost structure as we reset for the new normal. And finally, we see opportunities to expand our customer base through more recent strategies, including the planned launch of Lands’ End on kohls.com and in 150 Kohl’s retail stores this coming fall. With our resilient e-commerce business and casual and value-oriented product assortment, combined with our lean operating structure and liquidity, we are positioned to capitalize on the opportunities ahead. While we expect the environment to remain difficult, we are excited about the future of Lands’ End.”
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
Cash and cash equivalents were $59.1 million as of May 1, 2020, compared to $40.2 million as of May 3, 2019.
Net cash used in operations was $80.2 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2020, compared to $36.3 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2019.
Inventories, net, was $383.2 million as of May 1, 2020, and $319.3 million as of May 3, 2019.
The Company had borrowings of $75.0 million and $116.3 million of availability under its asset-based senior secured credit facility at May 1, 2020 and other short-term debt of $384.1 million at May 1, 2020.
Outlook
Jim Gooch, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, stated, “While the pandemic had an adverse impact on our results in the quarter, we believe that our business model is resilient, particularly our eCommerce channel and we expect all our segments to recover, albeit at different rates. We remain optimistic about our future and will remain focused on preserving liquidity and maintaining agility as we continue to execute our strategies through this challenging environment. While we remain confident in our ability to achieve our long-term targets, which were on track prior to COVID-19, we now expect these objectives to be met later than we initially planned.”
The following outlook does not incorporate a potential second wave of COVID-19 or additional government-mandated closures.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2020 the Company expects:
|
|
• |
Net revenue to decline in the mid to high single digits as compared to the same period last year assuming: |
|
|
◦ |
High single digit growth year over year in its global eCommerce business. |
|
|
◦ |
Retail stores to reopen by the end of June; five new store openings by the end of July. |
|
|
◦ |

|
|
• |
Gross margin pressure to continue into the second quarter due to aggressive promotional environment. |
|
|
• |
SG&A expense as a percent of revenue to be in line with prior year. |
For the second half of fiscal 2020 the Company expects:
|
|
• |
Net revenue recovery to continue through the back half of the year assuming: |
|
|
◦ |
Continued growth in global eCommerce business. |
|
|
◦ |
Retail sales to ramp up by the end of the year. |
|
|
◦ |
Slower recovery of its Outfitters business due to industry pressure on large national accounts, of which 60% have exposure to the travel industry, as well as its small and medium sized businesses; expects faster recovery of school uniform business as schools reopen. |
|
|
• |
Gross margin to be less pressured than in the first half of the year. |
|
|
• |
SG&A expense as a percent of revenue to be in line with prior year. |

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.
The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies 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.
While Adjusted EBITDA1 is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that they are important indicators 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. 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 weeks ended May 1, 2020 we excluded the impacts of impairment including goodwill impairment and non-cash write-downs of certain long-lived assets. |
|
|
◦ |
For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2020 and May 3, 2019, we excluded the impacts of gain or loss on property and equipment as management considers the gains or losses on asset valuation to result from investing decisions rather than ongoing operations. |
