Lands’ End Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

DODGEVILLE, Wis., June 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lands’ End, Inc. (NASDAQ: LE) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended May 1, 2026.

Andrew McLean, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our first quarter results reflect a business with real underlying momentum. Consumer traffic was up double digits, new customer acquisition improved, and our European business delivered strong double-digit revenue growth — confirmation that our solutions-based strategy is resonating with customers. We experienced a temporary operational disruption tied to our U.S. distribution center upgrades which caused a timing issue, and it is behind us. Additionally, we delivered year-over-year improvement in both adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share.”

McLean continued, “Looking forward, the creation of the joint venture with WHP Global marked a genuine inflection point for Lands’ End and positions us to deliver outstanding shareholder value. Whether from the continued growth of our existing commercial operations, a much more favorable capital structure with no term-loan debt, the Board’s April authorization of a $100 million share repurchase program, the profit-share we’ll receive from the JV or the potential exchange of our JV stake into equity in WHP Global at the same multiple WHP receives in a qualifying monetization event, the opportunity in front of Lands' End has never been clearer, and we are committed to building on our successes and focused on delivering on the potential in this great American company.”

First Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Net revenue was $238.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $22.3 million or 8.5% from $261.2 million during the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in revenue was driven primarily by the temporary disruption associated with the rollout of a new warehouse management system and the deliberate pacing of shipments as the distribution centers ramped back to normal capacity.  Excluding the impact of the temporary disruption, the Company estimates it would have delivered low single-digit revenue growth in the quarter.

    • U.S. Digital Segment Net revenue was $205.1 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $22.6 million or 9.9% from $227.7 million in the first quarter of 2025.

      • U.S. eCommerce Net revenue was $153.3 million, a decrease of $17.4 million or 10.2% from $170.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven by the temporary disruption associated with the rollout of the new warehouse management system and the deliberate pacing of shipments as the Company ramped its distribution centers back to normal capacity.

      • Outfitters Net revenue was $38.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $4.4 million or 10.3% from $42.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven by the temporary disruption of the new warehouse management system. Customer orders from the business uniform channel remained strong primarily driven by select enterprise accounts.   

      • Third Party Net revenue was $13.3 million, for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $0.8 million or 5.7% from $14.1 million during the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a strategic focus on higher-margin, higher-quality sales, prioritizing brand integrity over lower-value, promotion-driven volume.

    • Europe eCommerce Net revenue was $20.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $2.6 million or 14.5%, from $17.9 million during the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to strategic shift to a franchise-first assortment simplifying the business and improving inventory efficiency.

  • Gross profit was $111.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $21.2 million or 16.0% from $132.7 million during the first quarter of 2025. Gross margin decreased approximately 410 basis points to 46.7% in the first quarter of 2026, compared with 50.8% in the first quarter of 2025. The gross margin decrease was primarily driven by the deleverage created by the temporary distribution center disruption, the new royalty structure associated with the WHP Global JV and continued tariff headwinds.

  • Selling and administrative expenses increased $3.0 million to $126.5 million or 53.0% of Net revenue in the first quarter of 2026, compared with $123.5 million or 47.3% of Net revenue in the first quarter of 2025. The approximately 570 basis point increase was driven by deleverage from lower net revenue and investment in digital marketing focused on new customer acquisition.

  • Net income was $330.7 million, or $10.56 earnings per diluted share first quarter of 2026 compared to Net loss of $8.3 million or $0.27 loss per diluted share in the first quarter of 2025. The Net income result was primarily driven by the WHP Global transaction.

  • Adjusted net loss was $3.5 million and Adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.11 in the first quarter of 2026, compared to Adjusted net loss of $5.4 million and Adjusted diluted loss per share of $0.18 in the first quarter of 2025.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $(6.2) million in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of 165% compared to $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents were $23.1 million as of May 1, 2026, compared to $18.1 million as of May 2, 2025.

Inventories were $299.9 million as of May 1, 2026, and $262.4 million as of May 2, 2025, representing a 14% year over year increase. That increase primarily reflects the timing effects of the distribution center ramp-up and the unmitigated impact of tariffs. As operations normalize and inventory flow improves, the Company expects inventory levels to become better aligned with the Company’s revenue trajectory.

Net cash used in operating activities was $74.2 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2026, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $22.5 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the impact of the closing of the WHP Global transaction and partially offset by increased inventory related to the temporary distribution center disruption.

As previously announced, the Company used the majority of the $300 million in cash proceeds from the WHP Global transaction to fully repay its term loan.

As of May 1, 2026, the Company had $30.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $104.2 million of availability under its ABL Facility, compared to $40.0 million of borrowings and $86.8 million of availability as of May 2, 2025.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased $0.3 million of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program announced on April 1, 2026. As of May 1, 2026, additional purchases of up to $99.7 million could be made under the current program through March 31, 2029.

Outlook

Bernie McCracken, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Our first quarter financials reflect three distinct factors: the temporary disruption from our distribution center upgrade, structural P&L changes following the WHP Global transaction, and continued tariff pressure. Absent the operational disruption, we estimate we would have delivered low-single-digit revenue growth. In Europe, where distribution was not affected, revenue grew 15% and gross margin expanded approximately 70 basis points — evidence of the underlying health of the business.”

McCracken continued, “The full repayment of our term loan has significantly strengthened our balance sheet and reduced our interest burden. Importantly, this step provides enhanced financial flexibility to capital allocation, including reinvestment in the business and returning capital to shareholders.”

The Company’s guidance reflects current conditions, including tariffs at currently implemented rates and prevailing macroeconomic factors.

For Second Quarter fiscal 2026 the Company expects:

  • Net revenue to be between $290.0 million and $310.0 million.
  • Net loss to be between $5.0 million and $2.0 million and diluted loss per share to be between $0.16 and $0.06
  • Adjusted net income to be between $2.0 million and $5.0 million and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $0.06 and $0.16.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $11.0 million to $14.0 million.

For fiscal 2026 the Company now expects:

  • Net revenue to be between $1.30 billion and $1.40 billion.
  • Net income to be between $310.0 million and $320.0 million and diluted earnings per share to be between $10.02 and $10.34.
  • Adjusted net income to be between $10.0 million and $20.0 million and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $0.32 and $0.65.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $68.0 million to $78.0 million.

For the full year, the Company’s guidance includes approximately $40.0 million of capital expenditures.

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 and other – composed of costs related to the strategic alternative exploration as well as severance and benefit costs for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025.
    • Loss on extinguishment of debt – prepayment premium associated with the repayment of the Term Loan Facility before the scheduled maturity date and the write off of related unamortized debt issuance costs of the Term Loan Facility for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2026.
    • Unmitigated tariff costs – unmitigated incremental product costs, net of the impact of vendor negotiations,  incurred pursuant to International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) tariffs that were subsequently ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court of the United States on February 20, 2026 for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2026.
    • JV intangible asset amortization – Lands’ End proportionate share of intangible asset amortization expense recorded within the JV’s financial results for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2026.
    • Exit costs – charges associated to exit kids and footwear lines of business including inventory excess and obsolescence reserves, inventory discounts and operational charges recorded in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025 in conjunction with our licensing arrangements commencing in Fiscal 2024.
    • Gain on WHP Transaction – Gain recognized in conjunction with the transfer of the Lands’ End intellectual property to the JV, and immediately thereafter, sale of a 50% controlling ownership stake in the JV to WHP for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2026.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted net loss and Adjusted diluted loss per share:

ADJUSTED DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE   $ (0.11 )   $ (0.18 )
             
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding     31,324       30,867  

 (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 and other – composed of costs related to the strategic alternative exploration as well as severance and benefit costs for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025.
    • Unmitigated tariff costs – unmitigated incremental product costs, net of the impact of vendor negotiations,  incurred pursuant to International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) tariffs that were subsequently ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court of the United States on February 20, 2026 for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2026.
    • JV intangible asset amortization – Lands’ End proportionate share of intangible asset amortization expense recorded within the JV’s financial results for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2026.
    • Net gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment – disposal of property and equipment for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025.
    • Exit costs - charges associated to exit kids and footwear lines of business including inventory excess and obsolescence reserves, inventory discounts and operational charges recorded in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025 in conjunction with our licensing arrangements commencing in Fiscal 2024.
