Third Quarter Financial Highlights       

• For the third quarter, net revenue decreased 12.5% to $324.7 million compared to $371.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. 
  • Global eCommerce net revenue was $216.4 million, a decrease of 13.2% from $249.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.  Third quarter of fiscal 2022 included Lands’ End Japan net revenue of $9.5 million. Lands’ End Japan closed at the end of fiscal 2022. Excluding Lands’ End Japan in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, Global eCommerce net revenue decreased 9.7%.
    • Compared to third quarter of fiscal 2022, U.S. eCommerce net revenue decreased 10.0% primarily driven by a concerted effort to reduce promotional activity and improved inventory management compared to the prior year resulting in higher margins with lower clearance inventory sales.
    • Compared to third quarter of fiscal 2022, which included the results of Lands’ End Japan, International eCommerce net revenue decreased 30.9%.
      • Compared to third quarter of fiscal 2022, Europe eCommerce net revenue decreased 8.0% primarily driven by assortment editing with a focus on key categories, reduced clearance inventory sales and continued macroeconomic challenges.
  • Outfitters Net revenue was $74.3 million for third quarter of fiscal 2023, a decrease of $6.5 million or 8.0% from $80.8 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by the conclusion of the Delta Air Lines contract in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and timing of school uniform shipments compared to prior year partially offset by mid-single digit growth year-over-year in our other business to business customers. Excluding the $4.2 million decrease in year over year revenue from the Delta Air Lines business, Net revenue for the Outfitters business decreased 3.0%.
  • Third Party net revenue was $24.0 million, a decrease of 22.4% from $30.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily attributed to weaker performance at Kohl’s partially offset by continued growth of marketplace sales through other existing marketplaces.  
• Gross profit was $152.6 million, an increase of $4.2 million or 2.8% from $148.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Gross margin increased approximately 700 basis points to 47.0%, compared to 40.0% in third quarter of fiscal 2022.  The Gross margin improvement was primarily driven by new products across the brand, strength in transitional outerwear and adjacent product categories, reduction in sales of clearance inventory and improvements in supply chain costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year.
• Selling and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million to $135.3 million or 41.7% of net revenue, compared to $132.8 million or 35.8% of net revenue in third quarter of fiscal 2022. The approximately 590 basis points increase was driven by deleveraging from lower revenues and higher incentive related personnel costs, partially offset by lower marketing spend and continued cost controls.
• Net loss was $112.4 million, or $3.52 loss per diluted share compared to Net loss of $4.7 million or $0.14 loss per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 includes a non-cash $106.7 million impairment of goodwill due to the decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $17.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $16.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
• Adjusted net loss was $3.6 million, or $0.11 loss per diluted share compared to Adjusted net loss of $1.7 million or $0.05 loss per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Business Highlights:

• Delivered 700 basis point year-over-year improvement in Gross margin driven by new products across the brand, strength in transitional outerwear and adjacent product categories, and improved inventory management.
• Achieved a 25% reduction in year-over-year inventory through improved inventory management.
• Drove significantly stronger traffic across our channels on Black Friday through Cyber Monday, compared to prior years, with an emphasis on driving higher quality sales which resulted in increased gross profit dollars.

• Executed a license for all Kids categories, excluding school uniforms, starting in fiscal 2024, in line with the Company’s asset-light licensing strategy to improve profitability.

Inventories, net, was $422.2 million as of October 27, 2023, and $564.9 million as of October 28, 2022. The 25.3% decrease in inventory was driven by the actions the Company has taken to improve inventory efficiency by reducing inventory purchases and capitalizing on speed-to-market initiatives.

Net cash provided by operations was $36.7 million for the 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023, compared to net cash used in operations of $126.0 million for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2022.

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 per share (basic and diluted) basis.

The Company believes presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors, allowing them to assess how the business performed excluding the effects of non-recurring and non-operational amounts. The Company believes the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates comparing the results being reported against past and future results by eliminating amounts that it believes are not comparable between periods and assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s 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 certain significant items as set forth below. Adjusted net income (loss) is also presented on a per share (basic and diluted) 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. 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 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023 and October 28, 2022, we excluded the impacts of the non-cash write down of goodwill and certain long-lived assets. 
• For the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023, we excluded severance costs associated with a reduction in corporate positions, primarily in our Hong Kong sourcing office. 
• For the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023 and October 28, 2022, we excluded the one-time closing costs of Lands’ End Japan.

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

While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator 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 and 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023 and October 28, 2022, we excluded the impacts of the non-cash write down of goodwill and certain long-lived assets. 
  • For the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023, we excluded severance costs associated with a reduction in corporate positions, primarily in our Hong Kong sourcing office. 
  • For the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023 and October 28, 2022, we excluded the one-time closing costs of Lands’ End Japan. 
  • For the 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023 and October 28, 2022, we excluded the respective net gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment. 
  • For the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2022 and the 39 weeks ended October 27, 2023 and October 28, 2022, we excluded the amortization of transaction related costs associated with the Third Party distribution channel.
