Key Factors to Note
Lands' End’s quarterly results might have been hurt by the impacts of a challenging macro environment. Inflationary pressures on consumer discretionary spending remain deterrents. These along with any deleverage in cost of sales and other expenses might have hurt LE’s profitability in the quarter under review.
On its last earnings call, management had cited that inventory levels will be normalized in the first quarter. The company envisioned revenues of $295-$3100 million and loss per share in the range of 9-15 cents for the fiscal first quarter. It had projected an adjusted EBITDA of $13-$16 million for the to-be-reported quarter.
On the flip side, management highlighted that the global supply-chain issue has been normalized, which is likely to have brought the inventory back to normal levels. Also, the company’s e-commerce business and brand strength appear encouraging. We note that enhanced data analytics capabilities, consumer-centric approach, product initiatives, technological advancements and brand awareness are expected to have positively impacted the to-be-reported quarter.
