Land’s End reports Q4 adjusted EPS 76c vs. 57c last year

Reports Q4 revenue $462.4 vs, $441.7M last year. Andrew McLean, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The fourth quarter was a turning point for Lands’ End as we returned to topline growth, driven by our most significant businesses, and capped off a year in which we strengthened the foundation for sustainable, profitable, long-term growth. 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 transformative partnership enables us to eliminate our term loan debt and provides the opportunity for additional upside from the potential conversion of Lands’ End’s stake in the JV in certain WHP Global monetization events. 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. Additionally, it expands our strategic flexibility as an operating company to consider and pursue opportunities to enhance growth. We’re confident that this transaction creates incremental, long-term, higher-return growth opportunities for Lands’ End shareholders.”
