NOTE 2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-07 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which includes requirements that an entity disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that are greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income rate. The standard also requires that entities disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) each disaggregated between domestic and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement disclosures.

In March 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements (“ASU 2024-02”), which is intended to simplify the Codification and draw a distinction between authoritative and non-authoritative literature.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2024-02 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3. LOSS PER SHARE

The numerator for both basic and diluted EPS is net income (loss) attributable to the Company. The denominator for basic EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the reporting periods. The denominator for diluted EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of the Company’s common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the reporting periods using the treasury stock method in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Potentially dilutive securities for the diluted EPS calculations consist of non-vested equity shares of common stock and in-the-money outstanding options where the current stock price exceeds the option strike price.

The following table summarizes the components of basic and diluted EPS:

	13 Weeks Ended
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	May 3, 2024			April 28, 2023
Net loss	$	(6,442	)	$	(1,652	)
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		31,439			32,443
Dilutive impact of stock awards		—			—
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		31,439			32,443
Loss per share
Basic	$	(0.20	)	$	(0.05	)
Diluted	$	(0.20	)	$	(0.05	)
Anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted loss per common share calculation		1,002			1,189

Stock awards are considered anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method or in the event of a net loss.

NOTE 4. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Other comprehensive income (loss) encompasses all changes in equity other than those arising from transactions with stockholders and is comprised solely of foreign currency translation adjustments. Our foreign subsidiaries use their foreign currency as their functional currency. Functional currency assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Resulting translation gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income (loss), until the substantial liquidation of a subsidiary, at which time accumulated transactions gains or losses are reclassified into net income.


(in thousands)			April 28, 2023
Beginning balance: Accumulated other comprehensive loss (net of tax of 4,271 and 4,525, respectively)	(16,069	)	$	(17,022	)
Other comprehensive (loss) income:

ABL Facility

Effective with the Fourth Amendment to the ABL Facility executed May 12, 2023, the benchmark interest rate was changed from LIBOR to SOFR plus an adjustment of 0.10% for all loans (“ABL Adjusted SOFR”).

The borrowing margin for ABL Adjusted SOFR loans is (i) less than $95.0 million, 1.25%, (ii) equal to or greater than $95.0 million but less than $180.0 million, 1.50%, and (iii) greater than or equal to $180.0 million, 1.75%. For base rate loans, the borrowing margin is (i) less than $95.0 million, 0.50%, (ii) equal to or greater than $95.0 million but less than $180.0 million, 0.75%, and (iii) greater than or equal to $180.0 million, 1.00% (“Applicable 9

Borrowing Margin”). The Applicable Borrowing Margin for all loans is based upon the average daily total loans outstanding for the previous quarter. The Fourth Amendment had no material interest rate impact.

The ABL Facility fees include (i) commitment fees of 0.25% based upon the average daily unused commitment (aggregate commitment less loans and letter of credit outstanding) under the ABL Facility for the preceding fiscal quarter, (ii) customary letter of credit fees and (iii) customary annual agent fees. As of May 3, 2024, the Company had $40.0 million borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility.

Current Term Loan Facility

The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Current Term Loan Facility are based on a fluctuating rate of interest equal to, at the Company’s election, either (1) Term Loan Adjusted SOFR loan (subject to a 2% floor) plus an applicable margin, or (2) an alternative base rate loan plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s net leverage and will be, (i) for Term Loan Adjusted SOFR loans, 8.25% per annum if the total leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.75:1.00, 8.00% per annum if the total leverage ratio is less than 2.75:1.00 but greater than or equal to 2.25:1.00, and 7.75% per annum if the total leverage ratio is less than 2.25:1.00 and (ii) for base rate loans, 7.25% per annum if the total leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.75:1.00, 7.00% per annum if the total leverage ratio is less than 2.75:1.00 but greater than or equal to 2.25:1.00, and 6.75% per annum if the total leverage ratio is less than 2.25:1.00. In each case, the net leverage is determined as of the last day of each applicable measurement period.

Customary agency fees are payable annually for the Current Term Loan Facility.

Former Term Loan Facility

Effective with the First Amendment to the Former Term Loan Facility executed June 22, 2023, the interest rate benchmark changed from LIBOR to Term Loan Adjusted SOFR. The annual interest rate applicable to the loans under the Former Term Loan Facility was based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to, at the borrower’s election, either (1) a Term Loan Adjusted SOFR rate plus 9.75% or (2) an alternative base rate (which is the greater of (i) the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the federal funds rate, which shall be no lower than 0.00% plus ½ of 1.00%, or (iii) the one month Term Loan Adjusted SOFR rate plus 1.00% per annum) plus 8.75%.

Customary agency fees were paid annually for the Former Term Loan Facility.

Maturity; Amortization and Prepayments

The ABL Facility maturity date is July 29, 2026.

The Current Term Loan Facility will mature on December 29, 2028, and will amortize at a rate equal to 1.25% per quarter. Depending upon the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Current Term Loan Facility, mandatory prepayments in an amount equal to a percentage of the Company’s excess cash flows in each fiscal year, ranging from 0% to 75% are required. The Current Term Loan Facility also has typical prepayment requirements for the proceeds of certain asset sales, casualty events and extraordinary receipts. Voluntary prepayment and certain mandatory prepayments made (i) on or before December 29, 2024 would result in a prepayment premium equal to 3% of the principal amount of the loan prepaid plus a yield maintenance fee, (ii) between December 30, 2024 and December 29, 2025 would result in a prepayment premium equal to 2% of the principal amount of the loan prepaid, (iii) between December 30, 2025 and December 29, 2026, would result in a prepayment premium equal to 1% of the principal amount of the loan prepaid, (iv) between December 30, 2026 and December 29, 2027, would result in a prepayment premium equal to 0.5% of the principal amount of the loan prepaid and (v) thereafter no prepayment premium is due.

Guarantees; Security

All obligations under the Debt Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by Lands’ End, Inc. and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries. The ABL Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in certain working capital of the borrowers and guarantors consisting primarily of accounts receivable and inventory. The Current Term Loan Facility is also secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral, with certain exceptions.

The Current Term Loan Facility is also secured by a first priority security interest in certain property and assets, including certain fixed assets such as real estate, stock of subsidiaries and intellectual property, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. The ABL Facility is also secured by a second priority interest in the same collateral, with certain exceptions. 10

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

Subject to specified exceptions, the Debt Facilities contain various representations and warranties and restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict Lands’ End, Inc.’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur indebtedness (including guarantees), grant liens, make investments, make dividends or distributions with respect to capital stock, make prepayments on other indebtedness, engage in mergers or change the nature of their business.

The Current Term Loan Facility contains financial covenants, including a quarterly maximum total leverage ratio test and a monthly minimum liquidity test.

Under the ABL Facility, if excess availability falls below the greater of 10% of the Loan Cap amount or $15.0 million, the Company will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.

The Debt Facilities contain certain affirmative covenants, including reporting requirements such as delivery of financial statements, certificates and notices of certain events, maintaining insurance and providing additional guarantees and collateral in certain circumstances.

As of May 3, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants in the Debt Facilities.

Events of Default

The Debt Facilities include customary events of default including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross defaults related to certain other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, invalidity or impairment of guarantees or security interests, material judgments and change of control.

NOTE 6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company expenses the fair value of all stock awards over their requisite service period, ensuring that the amount of cumulative stock-based compensation expense recognized at any date is at least equal to the portion of the grant-date fair value of the award that is vested at that date. The Company has elected to adjust stock-based compensation expense for an estimated forfeiture rate for those shares not expected to vest and to recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for awards that only have a service requirement with multiple vest dates.

The Company has granted the following types of stock awards to employees at management levels and above, each of which are granted under the Company’s stockholder approved stock plans, other than inducement grants outside of the Company’s stockholder approved stock plans in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4):

• Deferred Awards are in the form of restricted stock units and only require each recipient to complete a service period for the awards to be earned. Deferred Awards generally vest over three years. The fair value of Deferred Awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the service period and is reduced for estimated forfeitures of those awards not expected to vest due to employee turnover.

• Performance Awards are in the form of restricted stock units and have, in addition to a service requirement, financial performance criteria and/or stock performance criteria that must be achieved for the awards to be earned. For the Performance Awards granted in Fiscal 2024, a portion have financial performance criteria and a portion have stock performance criteria. The Performance Awards granted in Fiscal 2023 are also subject to a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) modifier which is based on the Company’s total return to stockholders over the measurement period relative to a custom peer group. Certain Performance Awards granted in Fiscal 2024 vest up to 100% of the specified number of shares, contingent upon the Company’s common stock achieving a specified average per share closing stock price over a specified number of trading days, and other Performance Awards granted in Fiscal 2024 vest based on financial performance criteria. For Performance Awards with financial performance criteria, the Target Shares earned can range from 50% to 200% (such result, the “Earned Shares”) once minimum thresholds have been reached and depend on the achievement of certain financial measures for the cumulative period comprised of three-consecutive fiscal years beginning with the fiscal year of the grant date. The Fiscal 2023 Performance Award TSR modifier can result in an adjustment of 75% to 125% of the Earned Shares, subject to an overall cap of 200% and a modifier limitation to 100% in the event TSR is negative. For Fiscal 2024 Performance Awards with stock performance criteria, the Target Shares earned can range from 0% to 100% 11

based on the Company’s highest average per share common stock closing stock price measured over any 20 consecutive trading-day period for the cumulative period comprised of three-consecutive fiscal years beginning with the fiscal year of the grant date. Performance Awards are also subject to limitations under the Company’s stockholder approved stock plans. The applicable percentage of the Target Shares, as determined by financial performance or stock price performance, vest after the completion of the applicable three-year performance period and upon determination of achievement of the performance measures by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and unearned Target Shares are forfeited. The fair value of the Performance Awards granted prior to Fiscal 2023, as well as the portion of the Fiscal 2024 Performance Awards with financial performance criteria, are based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For the portion of the Performance Awards granted in Fiscal 2024 with stock performance criteria and the Performance Awards granted in Fiscal 2023 with a relative TSR modifier, the grant date fair value is based on the Monte Carlo simulation model. Stock-based compensation expense, including awards with market conditions, is recognized ratably over the related service period, reduced for estimated forfeitures of those awards not expected to vest due to employee turnover and adjusted based on the Company’s estimate of the percentage of the aggregate Target Shares expected to be earned. The Company accrues for Performance Awards on a 100% payout unless it becomes probable that the outcome will be significantly different, or the performance can be accurately measured.

• Option Awards provide the recipient with the option to purchase a set number of shares at a stated exercise price over the term of the contract, which is ten years for all Option Awards currently outstanding. Options are granted with a strike price equal to the stock price on the date of grant and vest over the requisite service period of the award. The fair value of each Option Award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Share Repurchase Program

On June 28, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $50.0 million of the Company’s common stock through February 2, 2024 (the “2022 Share Repurchase Program”). Under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program, the Company could repurchase its common stock through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The amount and 13

timing of purchases were determined by the Company’s management depending upon market conditions and other factors and at times were made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The 2022 Share Repurchase Program expired on February 2, 2024.

On March 15, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $25.0 million of the Company’s common stock through March 31, 2026 (the “2024 Share Repurchase Program”). Under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase its common stock through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The amount and timing of purchases will be determined by the Company’s management depending upon market conditions and other factors and may be made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of May 3, 2024, additional purchases of up to $24.0 million could be made under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program. All repurchases are subject to compliance with the Current Term Loan Facility which imposes a per fiscal year limitation on share repurchases.

The following table summarizes the Company’s share repurchases for First Quarter 2024 (under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program) and First Quarter 2023 (under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program):

	13 Weeks Ended
(Shares and $ in thousands except average per share cost)	May 3, 2024		April 28, 2023
Number of shares repurchased		85		430
Total cost	$	1,013	$	3,772
Average per share cost	$	11.88	$	8.77

The Company retired all shares that were repurchased through the 2024 Share Repurchase Program and the 2022 Share Repurchase Program during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024 and April 28, 2023, respectively. In accordance with the FASB ASC 505—Equity, the par value of the shares retired was charged against Common stock and the remaining purchase price was allocated between Additional paid-in capital and (Accumulated deficit) Retained earnings. The portion charged against Additional paid-in capital is determined based on the Additional paid-in capital per share amount recorded in the initial issuance of the shares with the remaining to (Accumulated deficit) Retained earnings. Shares purchased at a price less than that of initial issuance is charged only against Additional paid-in capital. For the shares retired during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024 and April 28, 2023, $0.1 million and no amount, respectively, was charged to (Accumulated deficit) Retained earnings.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash is reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value based on Level 1 inputs. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash amounts are valued based upon statements received from financial institutions. The fair value of restricted cash was $2.5 million, $2.1 million and $2.0 million as of May 3, 2024, April 28, 2023 and February 2, 2024, respectively.

Carrying amounts and fair values of long-term debt, including current portion, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

	May 3, 2024				April 28, 2023				February 2, 2024
(in thousands)	Carrying<br>Amount		Fair<br>Value		Carrying<br>Amount		Fair<br>Value		Carrying<br>Amount		Fair<br>Value
Long-term debt, including current portion	$	256,750	$	257,270	$	240,625	$	227,109	$	260,000	$	258,139

The Company’s valuation of long-term debt, including current portion, at fair value is considered a Level 3 instrument under the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s valuation techniques include the Black-Derman-Toy (“BDT”) model as well as market inputs from management. The BDT modeling approach is particularly relevant given the Current Term Loan Facility’s features, including the optional redemption provision. There were no nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of May 3, 2024, April 28, 2023 and February 2, 2024.

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES

Provision for Income Taxes

At the end of each quarter, the Company estimates its effective income tax rate pursuant to ASC 740. The rate for the period consists of the tax rate expected to be applied for the full year to ordinary income adjusted for any discrete items recorded in the period.

The Company recorded a tax benefit at an overall effective tax rate of 19.6% and 24.1% for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024, and April 28, 2023, respectively. The overall effective tax rates for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024, and April 28, 2023 vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of state taxes, non-deductible expenses, and the impact of stock-based compensation adjustments.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to various claims, legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these actions involve complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. At this time, the Company is not able to either predict the outcome of these legal proceedings or reasonably estimate a potential range of loss with respect to the proceedings. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of such pending claims, proceedings and investigations with certainty, management is of the opinion that their ultimate resolution should not have a material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position taken as a whole.

NOTE 12. SEGMENT REPORTING

For the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024, the Company’s operating segments consisted of: U.S. eCommerce, Europe eCommerce, Outfitters, Third Party and Retail.

The Company determined that each of the operating segments have similar economic and other qualitative characteristics, thus the results of the operating segments are aggregated into one external reportable segment.

Lands’ End identifies five separate distribution channels for revenue reporting purposes:

• U.S. eCommerce offers products through the Company’s eCommerce website.

• International offers products primarily to consumers located in Europe and through the Company’s eCommerce international websites and third-party affiliates.

• Outfitters sells uniform and logo apparel to businesses and their employees, as well as to student households through school relationships, located primarily in the U.S.

• Third Party sells the same products as U.S. eCommerce but direct to consumers through third-party marketplace websites and through domestic wholesale relationships. In addition, Third Party generates revenue from licensing agreements. 15

• Retail sells products through the Company Operated stores.

Net revenue is presented by distribution channel in the following tables:

	13 Weeks Ended		% of Net			13 Weeks Ended		% of Net
(in thousands)	May 3, 2024		Revenue			April 28, 2023		Revenue

Total Net revenue	$	285,471				$	309,558

NOTE 13. REVENUE

Net Revenue

Product Sales

Revenue includes sales of merchandise and delivery revenue related to merchandise sold. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized when control of product passes to customers, which for the U.S. eCommerce, International, Outfitters and Third Party distribution channels is when the merchandise is expected to be received by the customer and for the Retail distribution channel is at the time of sale in the store. The Company recognizes revenue, including shipping and handling fees billed to customers, in the amount expected to be received when control of the Company’s products transfers to customers, and is presented net of various forms of promotions, which range from contractually fixed percentage price reductions to sales returns, discounts, and other incentives that may vary in amount. Variable amounts are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience and adjusted as better estimates become available.

The Company’s revenue is disaggregated by distribution channel and geographic location. Revenue by distribution channel is presented in Note 12, Segment Reporting. Revenue by geographic location was:

	13 Weeks Ended
(in thousands)	May 3, 2024		April 28, 2023
Net revenue:
United States	$	257,507	$	280,404
Europe		25,308		25,877
Other		2,656		3,277
Total Net revenue	$	285,471	$	309,558

Licensing Agreements

The Company generates royalty revenue from licensing the right to use its trademarks to third parties. The licensing agreements generally are exclusive to a product category, selling channel and/or geography, have terms in excess of one year, provide for annual guaranteed minimum royalties and, in most cases, include renewal options. In certain agreements, the licensee pays the Company a fulfillment fee for licensed product sold on the Company’s website and fulfilled from the Company’s distribution center. The trademark royalty revenue and fulfillment fee are included in Net revenue and reported in the Third Party distribution channel. See Note 12, Segment Reporting.

In exchange for providing these rights, the license agreements require the licensees to pay the Company a trademark royalty based on net sales as defined in the license agreements. The Company recognizes sales-based royalty revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales of the licensed product occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation has been satisfied, as the Company expects the annual guaranteed minimums will be met, where such provisions exist.

In certain agreements, the Company agreed to perform transitional activities, such as marketing costs, for the licensed products. The Company receives reimbursement for such costs which are recorded as a reduction of the related Selling and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount of these reimbursements was not material for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities consist of payments received in advance of the transfer of control to the customer. As products are delivered and control transfers, the Company recognizes the deferred revenue in Net revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table summarizes the deferred revenue associated with payments received in advance of the transfer of control to the customer, reported in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and amounts recognized through Net revenue for each period presented. The majority of deferred revenue as of May 3, 2024 is expected to be recognized in Net revenue in the fiscal quarter ending August 2, 2024, as products are delivered to customers.

	13 Weeks Ended
(in thousands)	May 3, 2024			April 28, 2023
Deferred revenue beginning of period	$	4,314		$	7,484
Deferred revenue recognized in period		(4,100	)		(7,270	)
Revenue deferred in period		9,126			5,805
Deferred revenue end of period	$	9,340		$	6,019

Revenue from gift cards is recognized when (i) the gift card is redeemed by the customer for merchandise, or (ii) as gift card breakage, an estimate of gift cards which will not be redeemed where the Company does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of the unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions. Gift card breakage is recorded within Net revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to their redemption, gift cards are recorded as a liability and included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liability is estimated based on expected breakage that considers historical patterns of redemption. The following table provides the reconciliation of the contract liability related to gift cards:

	13 Weeks Ended
(in thousands)	May 3, 2024			April 28, 2023
Balance as of beginning of period	$	35,604		$	33,029

Gift card breakage		(1,348	)		(788	)
Balance as of end of period	$	35,119		$	34,222

Refund Liabilities

Refund liabilities, primarily associated with product sales returns and retrospective volume rebates, represent variable consideration and are estimated and recorded as a reduction to Net revenue based on historical experience. Refund liabilities, primarily associated with estimated product returns, were $16.9 million, $17.8 million and $21.6 million as of May 3, 2024, April 28, 2023 and February 2, 2024, respectively, and reported in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Executive Overview

Description of the Company

Lands’ End is a leading digital retailer of solution-based apparel, swimwear, outerwear, accessories, footwear, home products and uniforms. We offer products online at www.landsend.com, through third-party distribution channels, our own Company Operated stores and third-party license agreements. We also offer products to businesses and schools, for their employees and students, through the Outfitters distribution channel. We are a classic American lifestyle brand that creates solutions for life’s every journey.

Lands’ End was founded in 1963 by Gary Comer and his partners to sell sailboat hardware and equipment by catalog. While our product focus has shifted significantly over the years, we have continued to adhere to our founder’s motto as one of our guiding principles: “Take care of the customer, take care of the employee and the rest will take care of itself.”

We have one external reportable segment and identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. During First Quarter 2024, our operating segments consisted of: U.S. eCommerce, Europe eCommerce, Outfitters, Third Party and Retail.

We have determined that each of our operating segments share similar economic and other qualitative characteristics, and therefore, the results of our operating segments are aggregated into one external reportable segment.

Distribution Channels

We identify five separate distribution channels for revenue reporting purposes:

• U.S. eCommerce offers products through our eCommerce website.

• International offers products primarily to consumers located in Europe and through our eCommerce international websites and third-party affiliates.

• Outfitters sells uniform and logo apparel to businesses and their employees, as well as to student households through school relationships, located primarily in the U.S.

• Retail sells products through our Company Operated stores.

Corporate Restructuring

During First Quarter 2024 and the second half of Fiscal 2023, we eliminated approximately 10% of positions in the corporate offices including the Hong Kong sourcing office during Fiscal 2023. We incurred $0.3 million of total corporate restructuring costs, which includes severance and benefit costs, during First Quarter 2024 which was recorded in Other operating expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of May 3, 2024, approximately $1.2 million of the severance and benefit costs had yet to be paid and is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Lands’ End, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Seasonality

We experience seasonal fluctuations in our Net revenue and operating results and historically have realized a significant portion of our net revenue and earnings for the year during our fourth fiscal quarter. We generated approximately 34.0% of our net revenue in the fourth quarters of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022.

Working capital requirements typically increase during the second and third quarters of the fiscal year as inventory builds to support peak selling periods and, accordingly, working capital requirements typically decrease during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year as inventory is sold. Cash provided by operating activities is typically higher in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year due to reduced working capital requirements during that period.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected income statement data, both in dollars and as a percentage of Net revenue:

	13 Weeks Ended
(in thousands)	May 3, 2024					April 28, 2023
Net revenue	$	285,471		100.0	%	$	309,558		100.0	%
Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)		146,491		51.3	%		171,621		55.4	%
Gross profit		138,980		48.7	%		137,937		44.6	%
Selling and administrative		127,401		44.6	%		118,514		38.3	%
Depreciation and amortization		9,005		3.2	%		9,301		3.0	%
Other operating expense, net		341		0.1	%		202		0.1	%
Operating income		2,233		0.8	%		9,920		3.2	%
Interest expense		10,336		3.6	%		12,283		4.0	%
Other (income), net		(88	)	(0.0	)%		(187	)	(0.1	)%
Loss before income taxes		(8,015	)	(2.8	)%		(2,176	)	(0.7	)%
Income tax benefit		(1,573	)	(0.6	)%		(524	)	(0.2	)%
NET LOSS	$	(6,442	)	(2.3	)%	$	(1,652	)	(0.5	)%

Depreciation and amortization are not included in our cost of sales because we are a reseller of inventory and do not believe that including depreciation and amortization is meaningful. As a result, our gross margins may not be comparable to other entities that include depreciation and amortization related to the sale of their product in their gross margin measure.

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:

• Corporate restructuring – severance and benefit costs associated with reduction in corporate positions for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024.

• Lands’ End Japan closure – closing costs, net of other operating income, recorded for the 13 weeks ended April 28, 2023.

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			—
Lands’ End Japan closure		—			76
Tax effects on adjustments (1)		(87	)		(19	)
ADJUSTED NET LOSS	$	(6,187	)	$	(1,595	)
ADJUSTED DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE	$	(0.20	)	$	(0.05	)
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:

• Corporate restructuring – severance and benefit costs associated with reduction in corporate positions for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024.

• Lands’ End Japan closure – closing costs, net of other operating income, recorded for the 13 weeks ended April 28, 2023.

• Net gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment – disposal of property and equipment for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024 and April 28, 2023.

• Other – amortization of transaction related costs associated with our Third Party distribution channel for the 13 weeks April 28, 2023.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected income statement data, both in dollars and as a percentage of Net revenue and a reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA:

Unaudited	13 Weeks Ended

In assessing the operational performance of our business, we consider a variety of financial measures. We operate in five separate distribution channels for revenue reporting purposes: U.S. eCommerce, International, Outfitters, Third Party and Retail. A key measure in the evaluation of our business is revenue performance by distribution channel. We also consider gross margin and Selling and administrative expenses in evaluating the performance of our business.

We use Net revenue to evaluate revenue performance for the U.S. eCommerce, International, Outfitters and Third Party distribution channels. We use GMV, which equals 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, as an important indicator of the performance of the comparable growth of the total brand. For our Retail distribution channel, we use Same Store Sales as a key measure in evaluating performance. A Company Operated store is included in U.S. Same Store Sales calculations when it has been open for at least 14 months. Online sales and sales generated through our in-store web portal are considered revenue in our U.S. eCommerce and are excluded from U.S. Same Store Sales.

Discussion and Analysis

First Quarter 2024 compared with First Quarter 2023

Gross Merchandise Value

Gross Merchandise Value (“GMV”) increased low single digits compared to First Quarter 2023.

Net Revenue

Net revenue was $285.5 million for First Quarter 2024, a decrease of $24.1 million or 7.8%, from $309.6 million during First Quarter 2023. Excluding the $26.9 million in revenue from the conclusion of the Delta Air Lines contract in First Quarter Fiscal 2023, Net revenue increased 1.0%.

U.S. eCommerce Net revenue was $170.5 million for First Quarter 2024, a decrease of $7.2 million or 4.0%, from $177.7 million during First Quarter 2023. The decrease in U.S. eCommerce was primarily driven by lower promotional activity and improved inventory management compared to the prior year resulting in increased gross profit from higher gross margins.

International eCommerce Net revenue was $25.0 million for First Quarter 2024, a decrease of $0.4 million or 1.7%, from $25.4 million during First Quarter 2023. The decrease in International eCommerce was primarily driven by lower 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 2024, a decrease of $31.3 million or 42.3%, from $74.0 million during First Quarter 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by the conclusion of the Delta Air Lines contract in First Quarter 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 for First Quarter 2024, an increase of $14.5 million or 62.9%, from $23.0 million during First Quarter 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 margins primarily driven by the expansion of the Company’s strategy to focus on higher quality sales.

Retail Net revenue was $9.8 million for First Quarter 2024, a decrease of $0.3 million or 3.5%, from $9.5 million during First Quarter 2023. Our U.S. Company Operated stores experienced an increase of 12.0% in Same Store Sales as compared to First Quarter 2023. On May 3, 2024 there were 25 U.S. Company Operated stores, compared to 28 U.S. Company Operated stores on April 28, 2023.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $139.0 million for First Quarter 2024, an increase of $1.1 million or 0.8% from $137.9 million during First Quarter of 2023. Excluding the $12.7 million from the conclusion of the Delta Air Lines business in First Quarter 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% in First Quarter 2024, compared with 44.6% in First Quarter 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 improved supply chain costs.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased $8.9 million to $127.4 million or 44.6% of total Net revenue in First Quarter 2024 compared with $118.5 million or 38.3% of Net revenue in First Quarter 2023. The approximately 630 basis points increase was driven by deleveraging from lower revenues and higher digital marketing spend focused on new customer acquisition.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.3 million to $9.0 million in First Quarter 2024 compared with $9.3 million in First Quarter 2023.

Other Operating Expense

Other operating expense, net was $0.3 million in First Quarter 2024 compared to $0.2 million in First Quarter 2023.

Operating Income (Loss)

As a result of above factors, Operating income was $2.2 million in First Quarter 2024 compared to Operating income of $9.9 million in First Quarter 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $10.3 million in First Quarter 2024 compared to $12.3 million in First Quarter 2023. The $2.0 million decrease was driven by lower ABL Facility interest related to lower average outstanding balances.

Other Expense (Income)

Other income was $0.1 million in First Quarter 2024 compared to $0.2 million in First Quarter 2023.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

We recorded an income tax benefit at an overall effective rate of 19.6% and 24.1% for the First Quarter 2024 and First Quarter 2023, respectively. The overall effective tax rates for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024, and April 28, 2023 vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of state taxes, non-deductible expenses, and the impact of stock-based compensation adjustments.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the above factors, Net loss was $6.4 million and diluted net loss per share was $0.20 in First Quarter 2024 compared with Net loss of $1.7 million and diluted net loss per share of $0.05 in First Quarter 2023.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

As of result of the above factors, Adjusted net loss was $6.2 million and Adjusted diluted net loss per share was $0.20 in First Quarter 2024 compared with Adjusted net loss of $1.6 million and Adjusted diluted net loss per share of $0.05 in First Quarter 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA

As a result of the above factors, Adjusted EBITDA was $11.6 million in First Quarter 2024 and $19.5 million in First Quarter 2023, respectively. Excluding the $12.6 million from the conclusion of the Delta Air Lines contract in First Quarter 2023, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 68.1%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of our business, capital expenditures, debt service and for general corporate purposes. Our cash and cash equivalents and the ABL Facility serve as sources of liquidity for short-term working capital needs and general corporate purposes. The ABL Facility had a balance outstanding of $40.0 million on May 3, 2024, other than letters of credit. Cash generated from our net revenue and profitability, and to a lesser extent our changes in working capital, are driven by the seasonality of our business, with a significant amount of net revenue and operating cash flows generally occurring in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year. We expect that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations, along with revolving on the ABL Facility, will be adequate to meet our capital requirements and operational needs for at least the next 12 months.

Description of Material Indebtedness

Debt Arrangements

Our $275.0 million committed revolving ABL Facility includes a $70.0 million sublimit for letters of credit and is available for working capital and other general corporate liquidity needs. The amount available to borrow is the lesser of (1) the Aggregate Commitments of $275.0 million (“ABL Facility Limit”) or (2) the Borrowing Base or Loan Cap which is calculated from Eligible Inventory, Trade Receivables and Credit Card Receivables, all foregoing capitalized terms not defined herein are as defined in the ABL Facility. The balance outstanding on May 3, 2024 and April 28, 2023 was $40.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively. The balance of outstanding letters of credit was $8.1 million and $9.1 million on May 3, 2024 and April 28, 2023, respectively.

On December 29, 2023, we entered into the Current Term Loan Facility which provides borrowings of $260.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to repay all of the indebtedness under the Former Term Loan Facility and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the financing. Origination costs, including a 3% original issue discount of $7.8 million and debt origination fees of $3.2 million, were incurred in connection with entering into the Current Term Loan Facility.

Interest; Fees - ABL Facility

The ABL Facility fees include (i) commitment fees of 0.25% based upon the average daily unused commitment (aggregate commitment less loans and letter of credit outstanding) under the ABL Facility for the preceding fiscal quarter, (ii) customary letter of credit fees and (iii) customary annual agent fees. As of May 3, 2024, we had $40.0 million borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility.

Interest; Fees - Current Term Loan Facility

Customary agency fees are payable annually for the Current Term Loan Facility.

Interest; Fees - Former Term Loan Facility

Customary agency fees were paid annually for the Former Term Loan Facility.

Maturity; Amortization and Prepayments

The ABL Facility maturity date is July 29, 2026.

Guarantees; Security

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

The Current Term Loan Facility contains financial covenants, including a quarterly maximum total leverage ratio test and a monthly minimum liquidity test.

Under the ABL Facility, if excess availability falls below the greater of 10% of the Loan Cap amount or $15.0 million, we will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.

As of May 3, 2024, we were in compliance with our financial covenants in the Debt Facilities.

Events of Default

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $25.8 million during First Quarter 2024 compared to $10.8 million during First Quarter 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.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $6.7 million and $12.4 million during First Quarter 2024 and First Quarter 2023, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for both periods was primarily used for investments to update our digital information technology infrastructure.

For Fiscal 2024, we plan to invest approximately $30.0 million in capital expenditures for strategic investments and infrastructure, primarily in technology and general corporate needs.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $35.0 million during First Quarter 2024, compared with net cash used in financing activities of $8.4 million during First Quarter 2023. The $43.4 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to borrowings on the ABL Facility.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and off-balance-sheet arrangements as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2024.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

The ABL Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate liquidity needs. The balance outstanding on May 3, 2024 and April 28, 2023 was $40.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively. The balance of outstanding letters of credit was $8.1 million and $9.1 million on May 3, 2024 and April 28, 2023, respectively.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue, inventory valuation, goodwill and intangible asset impairment assessments and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2024. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies or their application since February 2, 2024.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This document contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and performance. These statements may discuss, among other things, our GMV, net sales, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, net income, adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, cash flow, financial condition, financings, impairments, expenditures, growth, strategies, plans, achievements, dividends, capital structure, organizational structure, future store openings, market opportunities and general market and industry conditions. We generally identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “predict,” “believe,” “seek,” “continue,” “outlook,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “can have,” “likely,” “targeting” or the negative version of these words or comparable words. Forward-looking statements are based on beliefs and assumptions made by management using currently available information.

We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws and regulations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company’s international subsidiaries operate with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Since the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the Company must translate all components of these financial statements from the functional currencies into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect during or at the end of the reporting period. Net revenue generated from the International distribution channel represented approximately 9% of our total Net revenue during the First Quarter 2024. The fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies affects the reported amounts of net revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities. Assuming a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates, our Net revenue for First Quarter 2024 would have increased or decreased by approximately $2.5 million. Translation gains or losses, which are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss, result from translation of the assets and liabilities of our international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars. Foreign currency translation losses, net, for First Quarter 2024 totaled approximately $0.5 million related to our international subsidiaries in United Kingdom and Germany. Additionally, the Company has foreign currency denominated intercompany receivables and payables that when settled result in a transaction gain or loss. A 10% change in foreign currency exchanges rates would not result in a significant transaction gain or loss in earnings. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes or hedging and have not used any derivative financial instruments to limit foreign currency exchange rate exposures. The Company does not consider our foreign earnings to be permanently reinvested.

As of May 3, 2024, the Company had $6.3 million of cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currency, principally in British pound sterling, euro and Hong Kong dollar.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is subject to interest rate risk with the Current Term Loan Facility and the ABL Facility, as both require the Company to pay interest on outstanding borrowings at variable rates. Each one percentage point change in interest rates (above the 2.00% SOFR floor) associated with the Current Term Loan Facility would result in a $2.5 million change in our annual cash interest expenses. Assuming our ABL Facility was fully drawn to a principal amount equal to $275.0 million, each one percentage point change in interest rates would result in a $2.8 million change in our annual cash interest expense.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of May 3, 2024, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 under the Exchange Act during the most recently completed fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is party to various claims, legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these actions involve complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. At this time, the Company is not able to either predict the outcome of these legal proceedings or reasonably estimate a potential range of loss with respect to the proceedings. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of pending claims, proceedings and investigations with certainty, management is of the opinion that their ultimate resolution should not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position taken as a whole. There have been no material developments to the legal proceedings disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2024, filed with the SEC on April 3, 2024.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2024, filed with the SEC on April 3, 2024.
