• U.S. Digital Segment Net revenue was $268.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $13.6 million or 5.3% from $255.3 million in the second quarter of 2025.

• U.S. eCommerce Net revenue was $182.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $15.1 million or 9.0% from $167.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by carryover shipments from the temporary disruption associated with the rollout of the new warehouse management system in the first quarter of 2026.

• Outfitters Net revenue was $69.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $2.9 million or 4.4% from $66.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by enterprise accounts which more than offset the impact of warehouse management system challenges affecting the processing of value-added service products in our school uniform business.

• Third Party Net revenue was $17.2 million, for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $4.4 million or 20.4% from $21.6 million during the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to prioritizing profitable high-quality sales and brand quality over lower-value promotional volume.

• Europe eCommerce Net revenue was $19.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $0.1 million or 0.5%, from $19.6 million during the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a strategic shift to a franchise-first assortment simplifying the business and improving product margins.

• Gross profit was $157.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $13.6 million or 9.5% from $143.4 million during the second quarter of 2025. Gross margin increased approximately 320 basis points to 52.0% in the second quarter of 2026, compared with 48.8% in the second quarter of 2025. The gross margin increase was primarily driven by the IEEPA tariff refunds, partially offset by the new royalty structure associated with the JV, and temporary costs associated with our new warehouse management system.

• Selling and administrative expenses increased $5.9 million to $135.3 million or 44.8% of Net revenue in the second quarter of 2026, compared with $129.4 million or 44.0% of Net revenue in the second quarter of 2025. The approximately 80 basis point increase was driven by investment in digital marketing focused on new customer acquisition and operational inefficiencies from the temporary disruption of the new warehouse management system partially offset by leverage from higher net revenue.

• Net income was $3.5 million, and $0.11 earnings per diluted share in the second quarter of 2026 compared to Net loss of $3.7 million and $0.12 loss per diluted share in the second quarter of 2025.

• Adjusted net income was $2.7 million and Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.09 in the second quarter of 2026, compared to Adjusted net loss of $1.1 million and Adjusted diluted loss per share of $0.04 in the second quarter of 2025.

Inventories were $342.0 million as of July 31, 2026, and $301.8 million as of August 1, 2025, representing a 13% year over year increase. That increase primarily reflects inventory levels consistent with the Company’s normal seasonal build and support its current revenue projections compared to the intentionally lean inventory position the Company held a year ago amid tariff uncertainty.

Net cash used in operating activities was $86.5 million for the 26 weeks ended July 31, 2026, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $0.5 million for the 26 weeks en

Lands’ End Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

DODGEVILLE, Wis., June 9, 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

McLean continued, “From this position of strength, we recently announced a transaction to form a new joint venture with WHP Global to monetize and build on Lands’ End’s intellectual property and unlock near and long-term value creation opportunities.

This joint venture will accelerate brand licensing growth through new categories and channels, and internationally, leveraging WHP Global’s expertise and track record growing diverse and well-recognized brands like Lands’ End.

• Outfitters Net revenue was $53.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of $4.7 million or 9.6% from $49.0 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

• Licensing and Retail Net revenue was $27.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, a decrease of $2.5 million or 8.4% from $29.7 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
