Basis of Presentation

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

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been reflected. Dollar amounts are reported in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise noted. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Lands’ End Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025.

Macroeconomic Challenges

Macroeconomic issues which impact consumer discretionary spending, such as realized inflation-based price increases and high interest rates have continued to have an impact on the Company’s business. Apparel purchases historically have been influenced by domestic and global economic conditions, which may negatively impact customer demand and may require higher levels of promotion in order to attract and retain customers. Additionally, the variable interest rates associated with the Company’s Debt Facilities are negatively affected by higher interest rate environments. Macroeconomic challenges may lead to increased cost of raw materials, packaging materials, labor, energy, fuel, debt and other inputs necessary for the production and distribution of the Company’s products. Moreover, uncertainty with respect to trade policy and tariffs, including increased tariffs applicable to countries where the Company’s vendors manufacture its product, may result in an increase in the cost of its products.

Restructuring

During the First Quarter 2025, the Company reduced approximately 6% of its corporate office positions and incurred restructuring charges, primarily severance and benefit and other related costs. The reductions in the corporate office positions were made to better align with the evolving needs of the business and to invest in key growth areas. Additionally, the Company incurred ongoing costs related to exploring strategic alternatives for the Company to maximize shareholder value and have included those costs as part of restructuring. For the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024, the Company incurred restructuring charges, primarily severance and benefit costs, related to cost optimization of business operations and strategic initiatives.

The following table summarizes the restructuring costs recognized in Other operating expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025 and May 3, 2024:

The following table summarizes the accrued restructuring cost activity included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

NOTE 2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses(“ASU 2024-03”). Under ASU 2024-03, a public entity is required to disclose information about purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. ASU 2024-03 allows for early adoption and requires either prospective adoption to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of ASU 2024-03 or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2024-03 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 table 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.

NOTE 3. LOSS PER SHARE

The numerator for both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is net income (loss) attributable to the Company. The denominator for basic earnings (loss) per share is based upon the number of weighted average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the reporting periods. The denominator for diluted earnings (loss) per share 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 earnings (loss) per share 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 loss per share:

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 andlosses are reported in other comprehensive income (loss), until the substantial liquidation of a subsidiary, at which time accumulated translation gains or losses are reclassified into net income (loss).

No amounts were reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss during any of the periods presented.

NOTE 5. DEBT

ABL Facility

The Company’s $225.0 million committed revolving ABL Facility, as amended to date, includes a $35.0 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 $225.0 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 following table summarizes the Company’s ABL Facility borrowing availability:

Effective with the Fifth Amendment to the ABL Facility, dated March 28, 2025 (the “Fifth Amendment”), the 0.10% adjustment to the SOFR benchmark interest rate was eliminated and the benchmark rates under the ABL Credit Agreement are, at the election of the Company, either: (1) Term SOFR (which is a forward looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate), or (2) a Base Rate (which is the greatest of (a)0% per annum, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (c) the one-month Term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, or (d) the Wells Fargo “prime rate”). The borrowing margin for SOFR Rate loans is (i) where the average daily total outstanding for the previous quarter is less than $95.0 million,1.50%, and (ii) where the average daily total outstanding for the previous quarter is equal to or greater than $95.0 million,1.75%. For Base Rate loans, the borrowing margin is (i) where the average daily total outstanding for the previous quarter is less than $95.0 million,0.75%, and (ii) where the average daily total outstanding for the previous quarter is equal to or greater than $95.0 million,1.00% (“Applicable Borrowing Margin”). The Applicable Borrowing Margin for all loans is based upon the average daily total loans outstanding for the previous quarter. The Fifth Amendment reduced aggregate commitments from $275 million to $225 million, and reduced the letter of credit sublimit from $70 million to $35 million, in line with the Company’s lower inventory levels and expected letter of credit capacity, and had no material interest rate impact.

The ABL Facility fees include (i) commitment fees of 0.20% or 0.30%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. The Fifth Amendment extended the maturity date of the ABL Facility to the earlierof (a) March 28, 2030 and (b) September 29, 2028 if, on or prior to such date, the Term Loan Facility has not been refinanced, extended or repaid in full in accordance with the terms thereof and not replaced with other indebtedness. Under applicable accounting guidance, certain unamortized debt issuance costs originating from the ABL Facility are deferred and amortized over the extended term of the ABL Facility, and certain unamortized debt issuance costs have been written off. As of May 2, 2025, the Company had$40.0 million borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility.

Long-Term Debt

The Term Loan Facility will mature on December 29, 2028, and amortizes at a rate equal to 1.25% per quarter. Depending upon the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the 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 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) 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, (ii) 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, (iii) 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 (iv) thereafter no prepayment premium is due.

The Company’s long-term debt consisted of the following:

The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the 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.

The Term Loan Facility contains customary agency fees.

Debt Facilities

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, event criteria and/or stock performance criteria that must be achieved for the awards to be earned. 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. 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 the applicable performance measure, 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. Unearned Target Shares are forfeited.

For Performance Awards granted in Fiscal 2025 with event criteria, the award vests at 100% of the Target Shares upon the occurrence of the event within a specified amount of time, absent which the award expires unvested. For the Performance Awards granted in Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 with stock performance criteria, the Target Shares earned can range from 0% to 100% based on the Company’s highest average per share common stock closing price, measured over any 20 consecutive trading-day period from and after the date of grant and during the three-consecutive fiscal years beginning with the fiscal year of the grant date.

The grant date fair value of the Performance Awards granted in Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 with financial performance criteria and event criteria, are based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The grant date fair value for the Performance Awards granted in Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 with stock performance criteria are 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. Stock-based compensation expense for awards with event criteria is not recognized until the event becomes probable.

•

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 isten 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.

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s stock-based compensation expense, which is included in Selling and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

(1)

Net credit expense for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025 includes a reduction of the accrual for Performance Awards based on actual and projected results relative to performance measures.

Deferred Awards

The following table provides a summary of the Deferred Awards activity for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025:

Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested Deferred Awards was approximately $6.4 million as of May 2, 2025, which is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted average period of 2.2 years. The total fair value of Deferred Awards vested during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025 and May 3, 2024 was $2.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The Deferred Awards granted to employees during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025 vest over a period ofthree years.

Performance Awards

The following table provides a summary of the Performance Awards activity for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025:

Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested Performance Awards was approximately $2.5 million as of May 2, 2025 which is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted average period of 2.2 years. Additionally, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to Performance Awards with event criteria was approximately $3.6 million, which is not expected to be recognized until the event is probable of occurring. The fair value of the 133,984 Performance Awards with stock performance criteria granted during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025 was estimated at $7.81 per share on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation.

Option Awards

The following table provides a summary of the Option Awards activity for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025:

The following table provides a summary of information about the Option Awards vested and expected to vest during the contractual term, as well as Option Awards exercisable as of May 2, 2025:

Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to Option Awards expected to vest was approximately $0.2 million as of May 2, 2025, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.6 years.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Share Repurchase Program

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 2, 2025, additional purchases of up to $10.6 million could be made under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program. All repurchases are subject to compliance with the Term Loan Facility which imposes a per fiscal year limitation on share repurchases.

The following table summarizes the Company’s share repurchases for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025 and May 3, 2024:

(1)

Average price paid per share excludes broker commissions and excise taxes.

The Company retired all shares that were repurchased through the 2024 Share Repurchase Program during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025 and May 3, 2024. In accordance with FASB ASC 505—Equity, the par value of the shares retired was charged against Common stock and the remaining purchase price, including any broker commissions and excise taxes paid, was either (i) allocated between Additional paid-in capital and Retained earnings, or (ii) charged directly against Additional paid-in capital. To the extent the shares are repurchased at a price less than that of initial issuance, or to the extent the Company does not have sufficient reserves in Retained earnings at the time of repurchase, the excess of the purchase price over par value is accounted for entirely as a deduction from Additional paid-in capital.

NOTE 8. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following:

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 $2.2 million, $2.5 million and $2.6 million as of May 2, 2025, May 3, 2024 and January 31, 2025, respectively.

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

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 Term Loan Facility’s features, including the optional redemption provision. There wereno nonfinancial assets orno nfinancial liabilities recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of May 2, 2025, May 3, 2024 and January 31, 2025.

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 28.9% and 19.6% for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025 and May 3, 2024, respectively. The overall effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2025, varies from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% as a result of state taxes and non-deductible expenses. The overall effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2024, varies from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% as a result of state taxes, non-deductible expenses, and the impact of stock-based compensation.

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

The Company identifies operating segments according to how business activities are managed and evaluated. Following internal organizational changes and realignment of distribution channel responsibilities in Fourth Quarter 2024, the Company’s operating segments consisted of: U.S. eCommerce, Europe eCommerce, Outfitters, Third Party, Licensing and Retail. Beginning Fourth Quarter 2024, the Wholesale business is included in Licensing and prior periods were recast to reflect the change in operating segments for comparability purposes.

•

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

•

Europe eCommerce offers products primarily direct to consumers located in Europe through eCommerce international websites as well as third-party marketplace websites.

•

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 products direct to consumers through third-party marketplace websites.

•

Licensing earns royalties on the use of Lands’ End trademark and any fulfillment fees for fulfillment services provided by the Company.

•

Retail sells products through the Company Operated stores, located in the U.S.

The internal reporting of these operating segments is based, in part, on the reporting and review process used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses segment performance based on variable profit, which is defined as net revenue minus cost of sales and variable selling expenses to evaluate segment profitability and make decisions about resource allocations. The Company’s CODM monitors actual segment variable profit results relative to operating plan and forecast to assess the performance of the business and allocate resources. The CODM does not utilize segment asset information to evaluate performance and make resource allocation decisions, and thus such disclosures are not provided.

The Company determined the U.S. eCommerce, Outfitters and Third Party operating segments share similar economic and other qualitative characteristics, and therefore the results of these operating segments are aggregated into the U.S. Digital segment. The Europe eCommerce, Licensing and Retail operating segments are not quantitatively significant to be separately reported.

The Company has determined its significant segment expense categories based on amounts regularly provided to the Company’s CODM to evaluate segment profitability and drive strategic decision making. The following presents U.S. Digital segment sales and expenses:

(1)

All other net revenue is from Europe eCommerce, Licensing and Retail that does not meet the quantitative thresholds

(2)

Other segment expenses include credit card fees, customer service, webhosting, supplies and other miscellaneous expenses

The reconciliation between segment variable profit to consolidated loss before income taxes is as follows:

(1)

All other variable profit is from Europe eCommerce, Licensing and Retail that does not meet the quantitative thresholds

(2)

Unallocated corporate expenses include fixed personnel costs, incentive compensation, office occupancy, information technology and professional fees

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

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, Europe eCommerce, Outfitters and Third Party distribution channels is when the merchandise is 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:

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 Licensing distribution channel.

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, when the Company expects the annual guaranteed minimums will be met, where such provisions exist. If a sales-based royalty is not ultimately expected to exceed a contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount, the minimum is recognized straight-line as revenue over the contractual period, if all other criteria of revenue recognition have been met. In certain licensing agreements, the Company agreed to provide marketing activities. The Company receives reimbursement for such services at cost. The amount of these reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of 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 2, 2025 and 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.
