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. Ongoing uncertainty surrounding global trade policy, including the potential for increased tariffs on goods manufactured in key sourcing regions, could elevate product costs. The Company is monitoring these developments and is actively pursuing mitigation strategies, but escalating trade tensions may pressure margins and disrupt supply chain efficiency.

Restructuring

The Company incurred restructuring charges, primarily severance and benefit costs, related to cost optimization of business operations and strategic initiatives. During Year-to-Date 2025, 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. Additionally, 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.

The following table summarizes the restructuring costs recognized in Other operating expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2025 and August 2, 2024:
