NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Leases
In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), which changed how companies account for leases. On February 2, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance using the modified retrospective approach. Lands' End elected the practical expedient package, which among other practical expedients, includes the option to retain the historical classification of leases entered into prior to February 2, 2019. The Company also elected the practical expedient related to lease versus non-lease components, allowing the Company to recognize lease and non-lease components as a single lease. Additionally, the Company adopted an optional transition method finalized by the FASB in July 2018 that waives the requirement to apply ASC 842 in the comparative periods presented within the financial statements in the year of adoption.
The Company is a lessee under various lease agreements for its retail operations and equipment.
The determination of whether an arrangement contains a lease and the classification of a lease, if applicable, is made at lease possession (date in which the Company takes possession of the asset), at which time the Company also measures and recognizes a right-of-use asset, representing the Company’s right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing the Company’s obligation to make lease payments under the terms of the arrangement. The lease term is defined as the noncancelable portion of the lease term plus any periods covered by an option to extend the lease, if it is reasonably certain that that the option will be exercised. For the purposes of recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with the Company’s leases, the Company has elected the practical expedient of not recognizing a right-of-use asset or lease liability for short-term leases, which are leases with a term of twelve months or less. The Company's leases are classified as operating leases, which are included in the Operating lease right-of-use asset, Lease liability - current and Lease liability - long-term on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term as of the possession date. Minimum lease payments include only the fixed lease component of the agreement, as well as any variable rate payments that depend on an index, initially measured using the index at the lease commencement date. Lease terms may include options to renew. If it is determined the lease will more likely than not be renewed, the right-of-use asset and lease liability for that lease will be adjusted to reflect the updated lease term. The Company does not have any leases with residual value guarantees or restrictions or covenants imposed by the lease.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including Operating lease right-of-use assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset, the Company performs an impairment analysis. An impairment charge is recognized to the extent the sum of the estimated discounted future cash flows from the use of the asset is less than the carrying value, which is allocated pro-rata to the assets in the asset group, including the Operating lease right-of-use asset. No assets are written down below their indicated fair value which, for the Operating lease right-of-use assets, can be based on market comparisons of rent.
Due to the absence of an implicit rate in the Company’s lease contracts the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate for each lease based on the lease term, lease currency and the Company’s credit spread. The yield curve selected at the lease possession date represents one notch above the Company’s unsecured credit rating, and therefore is considered a close proxy for the incremental borrowing rate the Company would incur for secured debt.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in Selling and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Variable lease payments that do not depend on a rate or index and short-term rentals (leases with terms less than 12 months) are expensed as incurred.
The impact of adoption of the new lease guidance on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 2, 2019 was:

See Note 13, Leases for additional disclosures.
NOTE 3. EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE
The numerator for both basic and diluted EPS is net income (loss). The denominator for basic EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of Lands’ End common stock outstanding during the reporting periods. The denominator for diluted EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of Lands' End common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the reporting periods using the treasury stock method in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Potentially dilutive securities for the diluted EPS calculations consist of nonvested equity shares of common stock and in-the-money outstanding stock options, if any, to purchase the Company’s common stock.
The following table summarizes the components of basic and diluted EPS:

|  | 13 Weeks Ended

Net loss |  | $ | (6,818 | ) |  | $ | (2,630 | )

Basic Loss per share |  | $ | (0.21 | ) |  | $ | (0.08 | )
Diluted Loss per share |  | $ | (0.21 | ) |  | $ | (0.08 | )

Stock awards are considered anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method or in the event of a net loss. There were 796,269 and 647,799 anti-dilutive shares excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for First Quarter 2019 and First Quarter 2018.

Interest; Fees
The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Debt Facilities are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to, at the borrowers’ election, either (i) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a borrowing margin, or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a borrowing margin. The borrowing margin is fixed for the Term Loan Facility at 3.25% in the case of LIBOR loans and 2.25% in the case of base rate loans. For the Term Loan Facility, LIBOR is subject to a 1% interest rate floor. The borrowing margin for the ABL Facility is subject to adjustment based on the average excess availability under the ABL Facility for the preceding fiscal quarter. LIBOR borrowings will range from 1.25% to 1.75% for the ABL Facility. Base rate borrowings will range from 0.50% to 1.00% for the ABL Facility.

Table of Contents
Customary agency fees are payable in respect of the Debt Facilities. The ABL Facility fees also include (i) commitment fees in an amount equal to 0.25% of the daily unused portions of the ABL Facility, and (ii) customary letter of credit fees.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
Subject to specified exceptions, the Debt Facilities contain various representations and warranties and restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Lands’ End and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness (including guarantees), grant liens, make investments, make dividends or distributions with respect to capital stock, make prepayments on other indebtedness, engage in mergers or change the nature of their business. In addition, if excess availability under the ABL Facility falls below the greater of 10% of the loan cap amount or $15.0 million, Lands’ End will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. The Debt Facilities do not otherwise contain financial maintenance covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to the Debt Facilities as of May 3, 2019.
The Debt Facilities contain certain affirmative covenants, including reporting requirements such as delivery of financial statements, certificates and notices of certain events, maintaining insurance, and providing additional guarantees and collateral in certain circumstances.
NOTE 6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company expenses the fair value of all stock awards over their respective vesting periods, ensuring that, the amount of cumulative compensation cost 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 compensation expense for an estimated forfeiture rate for those shares not expected to vest and to recognize compensation cost 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:

i. | Time vesting stock awards ("Deferred Awards") are in the form of restricted stock units and only require each recipient to complete a service period for the award 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 and is reduced for estimated forfeitures of those awards not expected to vest due to employee turnover.

ii. | Stock option awards ("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 is ten 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 ratably over a four year period.

iii. | Performance-based stock awards ("Performance Awards") are in the form of restricted stock units and have, in addition to a service requirement, performance criteria that must be achieved for the awards to be earned. Performance Awards granted prior to Fiscal 2018 had annual vesting, but due to the performance criteria, were not eligible for straight-line expensing. All Performance Awards granted prior to Fiscal 2018 were forfeited during the First Quarter 2018. For Performance Awards granted in Fiscal 2018 and after, the Target Shares earned can range from 0% to 200% and depend on the achievement of Adjusted EBITDA and revenue performance measures for the cumulative three-fiscal year performance period beginning in the fiscal year of the grant date. The applicable percentage of the Target Shares, as determined by performance, vest after the completion of the applicable three year performance period, and unearned Target Shares are forfeited. The fair value of the Performance Awards granted in Fiscal 2018 and after are based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Stock based compensation expense 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. Based on performance to date, the Company is currently accruing for performance shares based on a 100% payout, which is reflected in the financial information below.

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:

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Restricted cash is reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The fair value of restricted cash was $1.8 million, $2.1 million and $1.9 million as of May 3, 2019, May 4, 2018 and February 1, 2019, respectively based on Level 1 inputs. Restricted cash amounts are valued based upon statements received from financial institutions.
The carrying amount of the Company's Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Accounts payable and Other current liabilities approximate their fair value as recorded due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Carrying values and fair values of long-term debt, including the short-term portion, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

|  | May 3, 2019 |  | May 4, 2018 |  | February 1, 2019
(in thousands) |  | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value

Long-term debt, including short-term portion was valued utilizing Level 2 valuation techniques based on the closing inactive market bid price on May 3, 2019, May 4, 2018, and February 1, 2019. There were no nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of May 3, 2019, May 4, 2018, and February 1, 2019.
NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company recorded a tax benefit at an overall effective tax rate of 41.7% and 68.1% for First Quarter 2019 and First Quarter 2018, respectively. The tax rate for First Quarter 2019 is the result of the Company’s election to treat
13

certain foreign entities as a U.S. branch. The tax rate for First Quarter 2018 reflects the reversal of UTBs due to favorable state tax audit settlements for periods prior to the Separation.
NOTE 9. 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 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
According to statements on Schedule 13D filed with the SEC by ESL, ESL beneficially owns significant portions of both the Company's and Sears Holdings Corporation's outstanding shares of common stock. Therefore, Sears Holdings Corporation, the Company's former parent company, is considered a related party.
On February 11, 2019 Transform Holdco acquired from Sears Holdings substantially all of the go-forward retail footprint and other assets and component businesses of Sears Holdings as a going concern. The Company believes that ESL holds a significant portion of the membership interest of Transform Holdco and therefore considers that entity to be a related party as well.
In connection with and subsequent to the Separation, the Company entered into various agreements with Sears Holdings which, among other things, (i) govern specified aspects of the Company's relationship following the Separation, especially with regards to the Lands’ End Shops at Sears, and (ii) establish terms pursuant to which subsidiaries of Sears Holdings Corporation are providing services to the Company. Some of these agreements have been assumed by and assigned to Transform Holdco in connection with the proceedings related to the Sears Filing (as defined below).
The components of the transactions between the Company and Sears Holdings, which exclude pass-through payments to or from third parties, are as follows:
Lands’ End Shops at Sears

Additional Balance Sheet Information
On October 15, 2018, Sears Holdings Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (collectively the “Sears Filing"). Following the Sears Filing, the Company began netting payables due to Sears Holdings or Transform Holdco, as applicable, against receivables due from Sears Holdings if and as allowed under its contracts. As a result, receivables and payables have been netted, and are presented as a net receivable balance in Accounts receivable, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
At May 3, 2019, the Company recorded a $0.2 million net receivable balance from Sears Holdings or Transform Holdco in Accounts receivable, net and $0 in Accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. On May 4, 2018 the Company recorded $2.2 million in Accounts receivable net, to reflect amounts due from Sears Holdings and $1.9 million in Accounts payable to reflect amounts due to Sears Holdings in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At February 1, 2019, the Company recorded a $0.1 million net receivable balance from Sears Holdings in Accounts receivable, net and $0 in Accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In the Third Quarter 2018, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $2.6 million in Other expense, net, in its Condensed Statement of Operations to reflect a reserve relating to pre-Separation UTBs (including penalties and interest) for which Sears Holdings Corporation indemnified the Company under a Tax Sharing Agreement entered into in connection with the Separation, the recovery of which had become uncertain as a result of the Sears Filing. Sears Holdings rejected the Tax Sharing Agreement, per an order approved on April 4, 2019. At May 3, 2019 and February 1, 2019 the indemnification receivable was $0, as a result of continuing substantial doubt regarding the collectability of this contingent asset.
NOTE 11. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company is a leading multi-channel retailer of casual clothing, accessories and footwear, as well as home products. Lands' End is growing its multi-channel distribution network which allows the consumer to interact with the Company with a consistent customer experience whether on company websites, third party marketplaces, at company
15

Table of Contents
owned stores or other distribution channels. As the Company expands this distribution network, and in conjunction with the accelerated closures of Lands' End Shops at Sears, the historical structure of separate reportable segments for retail stores and direct-to-consumer was no longer representative of the way the current Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the business units and allocates resources.
Therefore, as of February 1, 2019, the Company updated its segment reporting to better align with this multi-channel strategy. The Company's operating segments consist of U.S. eCommerce, Outfitters, Europe eCommerce, Japan eCommerce and Retail. The Company determined that each of the operating segments share similar economic and other qualitative characteristics thus the results of the operating segments are aggregated into one reportable external segment, consistent with the Company's multi-channel business approach. Prior year information has been restated to reflect this change.
Net revenue is presented by product channel in the following table:

Total net revenue |  | $ | 262,433 |  |  | $ | 299,825 |

NOTE 12. REVENUE
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 eCommerce and Outfitters channels is when the merchandise is expected to be received by the customer and for the Retail 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. There were no changes to estimates in First Quarter 2019.
The Company's revenue is disaggregated by product channel and geographic location. Revenue by product channel is presented in Note 11, Segment Reporting. Revenue by geographic location was:

Revenue from gift cards is recognized when (i) the gift card is redeemed by the customer for merchandise, or (ii) as gift card breakage, an estimate of gift cards which will not be redeemed where the Company does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of the unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions. Gift card breakage is recorded within Net revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to their redemption, gift cards are recorded as a liability, included within Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total contract liability related to gift cards issued was $20.0 million, $19.3 million and $18.2 million as of May 3, 2019, May 4, 2018 and February 1, 2019, respectively. The liability is estimated based on expected breakage that considers historical patterns of redemption. The following table provides the reconciliation of the contract liability related to gift cards:

Balance as of May 3, 2019 |  | $ | 20,010 |  |  | $ | 19,290 |

Refund Liabilities
Refund liabilities, primarily associated with product sales returns and retrospective volume rebates, represent variable consideration and are estimated and recorded as a reduction to Net revenue based on historical experience. As of May 3, 2019, May 4, 2018 and February 1, 2019, $17.3 million, $17.7 million and $22.2 million, respectively, of refund liabilities, primarily associated with product returns, were reported in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
NOTE 13. LEASES
The Company is a lessee under various lease agreements for its retail operations and equipment including a master lease agreement for its Lands' End Shops at Sears. Refer also to Note 10, Related Party Transactions. All leases are classified as operating leases. The Company’s leases have remaining terms of less than one year to ten years and contain various renewal options. The period which is subject to an option to extend the lease is included in the lease term if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Options to extend are reviewed within two years of the option date.
Rent expense totaled $4.6 million in First Quarter 2019 and includes operating lease expense, of $2.6 million, as well as expenses for variable lease payments that do not depend on a rate or index, including items such as CAM and real estate taxes for the Company's real estate leases, in the amounts of $2.0 million. Short-term lease cost was not material for First Quarter 2019.

Executive Overview
Description of the Company

Table of Contents
Lands’ End was founded in 1963 by Gary Comer and his partners to sell sailboat hardware and equipment by catalog. While our product focus has shifted significantly over the years, we have continued to adhere to our founder’s motto as one of our guiding principles: "Take care of the customer, take care of the employee and the rest will take care of itself."
As the Company evolves our multi-channel strategy, and in conjunction with the accelerated closures of Lands' End Shops at Sears, during Fiscal 2018 we determined it was more appropriate to combine the previously disclosed external reportable segments of Direct and Retail, into one combined external reportable segment as it more closely represents how we are managing the Company. We identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. Our operating segments consist of U.S. eCommerce, Retail, Outfitters, Europe eCommerce and Japan eCommerce. We have determined that each of our operating segments share similar economic and other qualitative characteristics, and therefore the results of our operating segments are aggregated into one external reportable segment.
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Lands' End, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Related party
Following the Separation, we began operating as a separate, publicly traded company, independent from Sears Holdings. According to statements on Schedule 13D filed with the SEC by ESL, ESL beneficially owned significant portions of both the Company's and Sears Holdings Corporation's outstanding shares of common stock. Therefore Sears Holdings Corporation, the Company's former parent company, is considered a related party both prior to and subsequent to the Separation. On February 11, 2019, Transform Holdco acquired from Sears Holdings substantially all of the go-forward retail footprint and other assets and component businesses of Sears Holdings as a going concern. We believe that ESL holds a significant portion of the membership interests of Transform Holdco and therefore consider that entity to be a related party as well.
Seasonality
We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net revenue and operating results and historically have realized a significant portion of our net sales and earnings for the year during our fourth fiscal quarter. We generated an average of 35.1% of our Net revenue in the fourth fiscal quarter of the past three years. Thus, lower than expected fourth quarter net revenue could have an adverse impact on our annual operating results.
Working capital requirements typically increase during the second and third quarter of the fiscal year as inventory builds to support peak shipping/selling period and, accordingly, typically decrease during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year as inventory is shipped/sold. Cash provided by operating activities is typically higher in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year due to reduced working capital requirements during that period.

Depreciation and amortization is not included in our cost of sales because we are a reseller of inventory and do not believe that including depreciation and amortization is meaningful. As a result, our gross margins may not be comparable to other entities that include depreciation and amortization related to the sale of their product in their gross margin measure.
Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA
We recorded a Net loss of $6.8 million in First Quarter 2019 compared to a Net loss of $2.6 million in the First Quarter 2018. In addition to our Net loss determined in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating operating performance, we use an Adjusted EBITDA measurement. Adjusted EBITDA is computed as Net loss appearing on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations net of Income tax benefit, Interest expense, Depreciation and amortization, and certain significant items set forth below. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our businesses for comparable periods, and as an executive compensation metric. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions as it excludes a number of important cash and non-cash recurring items.
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. 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.

◦ | Gain or loss on property and equipment - management considers the gains or losses on asset valuation, including impairments, to result from investing decisions rather than ongoing operations.

In assessing the operational performance of our business, we consider a variety of financial measures. We operate in three channels: eCommerce, Outfitters, and Retail. A key measure in the evaluation of our business is revenue performance by channel. We also consider gross margin and Selling and administrative expenses in evaluating the performance of our business.
To evaluate revenue performance for the eCommerce and Outfitters channels we use Net revenue. For our Retail channel, we use Company Operated stores sales as a key measure in evaluating performance. A store is included in Same Store Sales calculations when it has been open for at least 15 full months and selling square footage has not changed by 15% or more within the past year. Online sales and sales generated through our in-store web portal are considered revenue in our eCommerce channel and are excluded from Same Store Sales.
Discussion and Analysis
First Quarter 2019 compared with First Quarter 2018
Net Revenue
Net revenue for First Quarter 2019 was $262.4 million, compared with $299.8 million in the comparable period of the prior year, a decrease of $37.4 million, or 12.5%. Sales growth in our eCommerce channel of 5.1% was more than offset by decreases in our Outfitters and Retail channels of 42.3% and 60.5% respectively.
eCommerce Net revenue was $208.9 million for First Quarter 2019, an increase of $10.1 million or 5.1%, from the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in the eCommerce channel was primarily attributable to the growth in the U.S. eCommerce business driven by the focus on key items, such as knit tops and bottoms, in our product assortment, and continued growth in new customers.
Outfitters Net revenue was $43.1 million for First Quarter 2019 a decrease of $31.5 million or 42.3%, from the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease in Outfitters was largely attributable to the Delta Air Lines launch which concluded in the second quarter of Fiscal 2018.
Retail Net revenue was $10.4 million in First Quarter 2019, a decrease of $16.0 million or 60.5%, from the comparable period of the prior year, primarily driven by a significant reduction in the number of our Lands' End Shops at Sears locations. Our U.S. Company Operated stores experienced an increase of 12.0% in Same Store Sales. Consolidated Same Store Sales decreased 7.0% as compared to the same period of the prior year driven by the decrease of 19.5% in Same Store Sales in our Lands’ End Shops at Sears. On May 3, 2019, the Company had 39 Lands’ End Shops at Sears and 21 Company Operated stores compared with 159 Lands’ End Shops at Sears and 14 Company Operated stores on May 4, 2018.

Table of Contents
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $13.2 million to $119.9 million, primarily due to the impact of the Delta Air Lines launch in the First Quarter 2018 and fewer Lands' End Shops at Sears, offset by the growth in our eCommerce business. Gross margin increased to 45.7%, in First Quarter 2019, compared with gross margin of 44.4%, in First Quarter 2018. The gross margin increase of approximately 130 basis points was primarily related to the inclusion of the lower margin Delta Air Lines launch in the same period last year combined with improvement in inventory management driving increased efficiencies and better full price selling mix.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses decreased $7.2 million to $116.8 million, primarily due to the decrease in number of Lands' End Shops at Sears locations and the non-recurrence of expenses associated with the Delta Air Lines launch. Selling and administrative expenses increased approximately 310 basis points to 44.5% of total Net revenue, in First Quarter 2019, compared with $124.0 million, or 41.4% of Net revenue, in First Quarter 2018. The basis point increase reflects deleverage primarily related to the Delta Air Lines launch last year.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $7.6 million in First Quarter 2019, an increase of $1.5 million or 23.6%, compared with $6.2 million in First Quarter 2018, primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation associated with our multi-year ERP system implementation and continued investment in our digital infrastructure.
Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net
Other operating expense was $0.1 million in First Quarter 2019 compared to other operating expense of $0.3 million in First Quarter 2018.
Operating Income (Loss)
Operating loss was $4.7 million in First Quarter 2019 compared to $2.5 million in First Quarter 2018 primarily due to a decline in revenue and cost leverage from the Delta Air Lines launch partially offset by the growth in the eCommerce business.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $7.8 million in First Quarter 2019 compared to $6.9 million in First Quarter 2018, reflective of a rising interest rate environment.
Other Expense (Income), Net
Other expense, net was $0.9 million in First Quarter 2019 compared to other income, net of $3.9 million in First Quarter 2018. The lower expense was driven by the prior year impact for the reversal of UTBs and related accrued interest resulting from favorable state tax audit settlements.
Income Tax Benefit
The Company recorded a tax benefit at an overall effective tax rate of 41.7% and 68.1% for First Quarter 2019 and First Quarter 2018, respectively. The tax rate for First Quarter 2019 is the result of the Company’s election to treat certain foreign entities as a U.S. branch. The tax rate for First Quarter 2018 reflects the reversal of UTBs due to favorable state tax audit settlements for periods prior to the Separation.
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the above factors, Net loss was $6.8 million and diluted loss per share was $0.21 in First Quarter 2019 compared with a Net loss of $2.6 million and diluted loss per share of $0.08 in First Quarter 2018.

Table of Contents
Adjusted EBITDA
As a result of the above factors, Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million in First Quarter 2019 as compared to $9.0 million in First Quarter 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of our business, capital expenditures, debt service and for general corporate purposes. Our cash and cash equivalents and the ABL Facility serve as sources of liquidity for short-term working capital needs and general corporate purposes. We expect that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations, along with our ABL Facility, will be adequate to meet our capital requirements and operational needs for at least the next 12 months. Cash generated from our net revenue and profitability, and somewhat to a lesser extent our changes in working capital, are driven by the seasonality of our business, with a significant amount of net revenue and operating cash flows generally occurring in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year.
Description of Material Indebtedness
Debt Arrangements
On November 16, 2017, the Company entered into the ABL Facility, which provides for maximum borrowings of $175.0 million for the Company, subject to a borrowing base. The ABL Facility has a letter of credit sub-limit of $70.0 million. The ABL Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes and, as of May 3, 2019, was undrawn other than for $11.2 million in outstanding letters of credit. Upon entering into the ABL Facility, the Company incurred $1.5 million in debt origination fees. The fees were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized as an adjustment to Interest expense over the remaining life of the Debt Facilities.
On April 4, 2014, Lands’ End entered into the Term Loan Facility of $515.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to pay a dividend of $500.0 million to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corporation immediately prior to the Separation and to pay fees and expenses associated with the Debt Facilities at that time of approximately $11.4 million, with the remaining proceeds used for general corporate purposes. In First Quarter 2019, Lands’ End made a $100 million voluntary prepayment on the Term Loan from excess cash on hand. The fees were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized as an adjustment to Interest expense over the remaining life of the Debt Facilities.
Maturity; Amortization and Prepayments
The Term Loan Facility amortizes at a rate equal to 1% per annum, and is subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to a percentage of the borrower’s excess cash flows (as defined in the Term Loan Facility) in each fiscal year, ranging from 0% to 50% depending on Lands’ End’s secured leverage ratio, and the proceeds from certain asset sales and casualty events.
The Term Loan Facility matures on April 4, 2021 while the ABL Facility will mature no later than November 16, 2022.

Table of Contents
Guarantees; Security
All domestic obligations under the Debt Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The ABL Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in certain working capital of the borrowers and guarantors consisting primarily of accounts receivable and inventory. The Term Loan Facility is secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral, with certain exceptions.
The Term Loan Facility is also secured by a first priority security interest in certain property and assets of the borrowers and guarantors, including certain fixed assets and stock of subsidiaries. The ABL Facility is also secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral.
Interest; Fees
The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Debt Facilities are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to, at the borrowers’ election, either (i) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a borrowing margin, or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a borrowing margin. The borrowing margin is fixed for the Term Loan Facility at 3.25% in the case of LIBOR loans and 2.25% in the case of base rate loans. For the Term Loan Facility, LIBOR is subject to a 1% interest rate floor. The borrowing margin for the ABL Facility is subject to adjustment based on the average excess availability under the ABL Facility for the preceding fiscal quarter. In the case of LIBOR borrowings this adjustment will range from 1.25% to 1.75% for the ABL Facility. Base rate borrowings will range from 0.50% to 1.00% for the ABL Facility.
Customary agency fees are payable in respect of the Debt Facilities. The ABL Facility fees also include (i) commitment fees in an amount equal to 0.25% of the daily unused portions of the ABL Facility and (ii) customary letter of credit fees.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
Subject to specified exceptions, the Debt Facilities contain various representations and warranties and restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Lands’ End and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness (including guarantees), grant liens, make investments, make dividends or distributions with respect to capital stock, make prepayments on other indebtedness, engage in mergers or change the nature of their business. In addition, if excess availability under the ABL Facility falls below the greater of 10% of the loan cap amount or $15.0 million, Lands’ End will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. The Debt Facilities do not otherwise contain financial maintenance covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to the Debt Facilities as of May 3, 2019.
The Debt Facilities contain certain affirmative covenants, including reporting requirements such as delivery of financial statements, certificates and notices of certain events, maintaining insurance, and providing additional guarantees and collateral in certain circumstances.
Events of Default
The Debt Facilities include customary events of default including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross defaults related to certain other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, invalidity or impairment of guarantees or security interests, and material judgments and change of control.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $36.3 million in the Year-to-Date 2019 from a net cash use of $41.2 million in the Year-to-Date 2018, primarily driven by improved working capital.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $15.0 million and $10.7 million for Year-to-Date 2019 and Year-to-Date 2018, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for both periods was primarily used for investments to update our information technology infrastructure and property and equipment.
25

Table of Contents
For Fiscal 2019, we plan to invest a total of approximately $40.0 million in capital expenditures for strategic investments and infrastructure, primarily associated with our ERP investment, other technology investments and general corporate needs.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $102.0 million and $1.9 million for Year-to-Date 2019 and Year-to-Date 2018, respectively, consisting primarily of a $100 million voluntary prepayment of our Term Loan Facility as well as quarterly scheduled payments.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and off-balance-sheet arrangements as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019. During First Quarter 2019, Lands' End made a $100 million voluntary prepayment on the Term Loan Facility, from excess cash on hand.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
On November 16, 2017, the Company entered into the ABL Facility, which provides for maximum borrowings of $175.0 million for the Company, subject to a borrowing base. The ABL Facility has a letter of credit sub-limit of $70.0 million and will mature no later than November 16, 2022, subject to customary extension provisions provided for therein. The ABL Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes and was undrawn at May 3, 2019, other than for $11.2 million in outstanding letters of credit.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue, inventory valuation, goodwill and intangible asset impairment assessments and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.
For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2019, and Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies or their application since February 1, 2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This document contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and performance. These statements may discuss, among other things, our net sales, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, net income, cash flow, financial condition, impairments, expenditures, growth, strategies, plans, achievements, dividends, capital structure, organizational structure, future store openings, market opportunities and general market and industry conditions. We generally identify forward-looking statements by words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "project," "plan," "predict," "believe," "seek," "continue," "outlook," "may," "might," "will," "should," "can have," "likely" or the negative version of these words or comparable words. Forward-looking statements are based on beliefs and assumptions made by management using currently available information. These statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of future performance, actions or events. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. If one or more of these risks or

uncertainties materialize, or if management’s underlying beliefs and assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by a forward-looking statement. These risks and uncertainties include those risks, uncertainties and factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019, as modified by "Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws and regulations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in currency rates. A significant portion of our business is transacted in U.S. dollars, and is expected to continue to be transacted in U.S. dollars or U.S. dollar-based currencies. As of May 3, 2019, we had $12.6 million of cash denominated in foreign currencies, principally in British Pound Sterling, Euros and Yen. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading purposes or hedging and have not used any derivative financial instruments. We do not consider our foreign earnings to be permanently reinvested.
We are subject to interest rate risk with the Term Loan Facility and the ABL Facility, as both require the Company to pay interest on outstanding borrowings at variable rates. Each one percentage point change in interest rates associated with the Term Loan Facility would result in a $3.9 million change in our annual cash interest expenses. Assuming our ABL Facility was fully drawn to a principal amount equal to $175.0 million, each one percentage point change in interest rates would result in a $1.8 million change in our annual cash interest expense.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Lands’ End’s Chief Executive Officer and President and Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that, as of May 3, 2019, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 under the Exchange Act during the First Fiscal Quarter Ended May 3, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in 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 pending claims, proceedings and investigations with certainty, management is of the opinion that their ultimate resolution should not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
