Raises full year profit guidance

DODGEVILLE, Wis., Sept. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lands' End, Inc. (NASDAQ:LE) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended August 2, 2024.

Andrew McLean, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our robust second quarter results continue to prove our solutions-based strategy is working. A focus on innovation across our business is evolving the Lands' End brand and assortment, attracting new customers and further improving our supply chain and inventory position. These achievements highlight our dedication to driving growth and efficiency while delivering value to our customers and shareholders."

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

In the second quarter of 2024, Gross Merchandise Value ("GMV") increased mid-single digits compared to the second quarter of 2023. GMV is 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.

For the second quarter, Net revenue decreased to $317.2 million compared to $323.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
- Global eCommerce Net revenue was $211.3 million, a decrease of $7.4 million from $218.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
  - U.S. eCommerce Net revenue was $188.3 million, a decrease of 3.9% from $195.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease in U.S. eCommerce was primarily driven by the transition of kids and footwear products from a direct to a license model, lower promotional activity and improved inventory management resulting in increased gross profit from higher gross margins. Excluding the impact of transitioning the kids and footwear products to licensing arrangements, U.S. eCommerce revenue increased by mid-single digits year-over-year.
  - Compared to second quarter of fiscal 2023, International eCommerce Net revenue increased 0.9%, primarily driven by an increase in full price sales, lower promotional activity and improved inventory management resulting in increased gross profit from higher gross margins.
- Outfitters Net revenue was $63.2 million, a decrease of $4.8 million or 7.1% from $68.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The school uniform channel delivered a strong start to back to school season with a mid-single digit revenue increase over last year. The business uniform channel decreased year-over-year primarily due to the timing changes with certain national accounts and some pricing resistance from smaller accounts as a result of macroeconomic challenges.
- Third Party Net revenue was $30.1 million, an increase of $5.7 million or 23.4% from $24.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase was primarily due to revenue generated from licensing and wholesale arrangements.

Gross profit was $151.9 million, an increase of $12.3 million or 8.8% from $139.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Gross margin increased approximately 470 basis points to 47.9%, compared to 43.2% in second quarter of fiscal 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 increased $11.6 million to $135.5 million or 42.7% of Net revenue, compared to $123.9 million or 38.3% of Net revenue in second quarter of fiscal 2023. The approximately 440 basis points increase was driven by higher digital marketing spend focused on new customer acquisition, third party professional services and higher incentive related personnel costs.

Net loss was $5.3 million, or $0.17 loss per diluted share compared to Net loss of $8.0 million or $0.25 loss per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

Adjusted net loss was $0.7 million, or $0.02 loss per diluted share, driven by a non-cash charge related to long-lived asset impairment and restructuring costs, compared to an Adjusted net loss of $7.6 million or $0.24 loss per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $17.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $15.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

Second Quarter Business Highlights:

Delivered a 470 basis point improvement in gross margin, driven by strength in product solutions and newness across the channels, lower promotional activity and improved inventory management.

Achieved the sixth consecutive quarter improvement in inventory with a year-over-year 21% reduction through improved flow and productivity.

Global new customer acquisition increased mid-single digits.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents were $25.6 million as of August 2, 2024, compared to $26.6 million as of July 28, 2023.

Inventories, net, was $312.0 million as of August 2, 2024, and $396.1 million as of July 28, 2023. The 21% decrease in inventory was driven by actions the Company has taken to improve inventory efficiency by reducing inventory purchases and capitalizing on speed-to-market initiatives.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 million for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024, compared to $54.8 million for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2023. Through our concerted efforts to decrease inventory levels during 2023, we provided cash of $30.4 million through the end of the second quarter 2023. We have maintained our lower inventory level realized at the end of fiscal year 2023 through efficient inventory management and therefore we used cash of $10.3 million through the end of the second quarter 2024.

As of August 2, 2024, the Company had $20.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $117.5 million of availability under its ABL Facility, compared to $70.0 million of borrowings and $128.8 million of availability as of July 28, 2023. Additionally, as of August 2, 2024, the Company had $253.5 million of term loan debt outstanding compared to $237.2 million outstanding as of July 28, 2023.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company repurchased $3.7 million of the Company's common stock under its share repurchase program announced on March 15, 2024. As of August 2, 2024, additional purchases of up to $20.3 million could be made under the program through March 31, 2026.

Outlook

Bernie McCracken, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "We are pleased with our performance during the quarter, which resulted in Net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA at the high end of our guidance range and strong growth in Gross Merchandise Value. Additionally, our deliberate efforts to prioritize profitability and balance sheet efficiency is evidenced by a 9% increase in gross profit, driven by our sixth consecutive quarter of gross margin expansion."

For the third quarter of fiscal 2024 the Company expects:

Net revenue to be between $300.0 million and $340.0 million.
Gross Merchandise Value expected to deliver mid-to-high single digits percentage growth.
Net (loss) income to be between $(1.5) million and $1.5 million and diluted (loss) earnings per share to be between $(0.05) and $0.05.
Adjusted net income to be between $0.0 million and $3.0 million and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $0.00 and $0.10.
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $19.0 million to $23.0 million.

For fiscal 2024 the Company now expects:

Net revenue to be between $1.35 billion and $1.43 billion.
Gross Merchandise Value expected to deliver mid-to-high single digits percentage growth.
Net income to be between $5.0 million and $11.0 million and diluted earnings per share to be between $0.16 and $0.35.
Adjusted net income to be between $9.0 million and $15.0 million and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $0.29 and $0.48.

Definitions, Reconciliations and Uses of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our Net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating operating performance, we report the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted net income (loss) is also expressed on a diluted per share basis.

We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors, allowing them to assess how the business performed excluding the effects of significant non-recurring or non-operational amounts. We believe the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates comparing the results being reported against past and future results by eliminating amounts that we believe are not comparable between periods and assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management's own methods for evaluating business performance.

Our management uses Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our business for comparable periods and to discuss our business with our Board of Directors, institutional investors and other market participants. Adjusted EBITDA is also used as the basis for a performance measure used in executive incentive compensation.

The methods we use to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods other companies use to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions as these measures may exclude a number of important cash and non-cash recurring items.

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding significant non-recurring or non-operational items as set forth below. Adjusted net income (loss) is also presented on a diluted per share basis. While Adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of operating performance and useful to investors.

Other significant non-recurring or non-operational items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects comparability of results and are described below:
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024, we excluded the impact of the non-cash write down of certain long-lived assets.
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024, we excluded the charges to exit the kids and footwear lines of business, including inventory excess and obsolescence reserves, inventory discounts and operational costs, in conjunction with our licensing arrangements which commenced in Fiscal 2024.
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024 and July 28, 2023, we excluded severance and benefit costs associated with restructuring.
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 28, 2023, we excluded the net operating income (loss) from liquidation and closing costs for Lands' End Japan closure.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted net loss and Adjusted diluted net loss per share:

While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of operating performance, and is useful to investors, because EBITDA excludes the effects of financings, investing activities and tax structure by eliminating the effects of interest, depreciation and income tax.

Other significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects comparability of results and are described below:
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024, we excluded the impact of the non-cash write down of certain long-lived assets.
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024, we excluded the charges to exit the kids and footwear lines of business, including inventory excess and obsolescence reserves, inventory discounts and operational costs, in conjunction with our licensing arrangements which commenced in Fiscal 2024.
- For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024 and July 28, 2023, we excluded severance and benefit costs associated with restructuring.
- For the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 28, 2023, we excluded the net operating income (loss) from liquidation and closing costs for Lands' End Japan closure.
- For the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2024 and July 28, 2023, we excluded the respective net gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment.
- For the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 28, 2023, we excluded the amortization of transaction related costs associated with the Third Party distribution channel.
