Lands’ End on Thursday reported a 2.7% uptick in revenue to $302 million for the second quarter, thanks to strong growth in the American firm’s U.S. e-commerce channel.
The Dodgeville, Wisconsin-based firm said U.S. digital segment revenue for the quarter was $268.9 million, up 5.3%. Within that segment, U.S. e-commerce revenue rose 9% to $182.4 million, driven by carryover shipments from the temporary disruption associated with the rollout of the new warehouse management system in the first quarter of 2026, while outfitters revenue grew 4.4% to $69.3 million. That growth was partially offset by a 20.4% drop in third party revenue to $17.2 million for the three months ending July 31.
Internationally, Europe e-commerce revenue inched forward 0.5% to $19.7 million.
In line with the sales growth, Lands’ End returned to profit during the quarter, logging net income of $3.5 million, and $0.11 earnings per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.7 million and $0.12 loss per diluted share in the prior-year period.
“Since joining Lands’ End, I have been energized by what I see ahead for this iconic American company,” said Charlie Cole, chief executive officer, who commenced in the role on July 13.
“What excites me most is the clear runway we have to utilize our stellar brand strength and deep customer loyalty to further strengthen our customer engagement, expand our digital capabilities, and more effectively reach and convert new customers. Our focus now is on excellence in execution to ensure we have the right infrastructure, technology, and customer acquisition capabilities in place as we head into the holiday season. I am confident we are well positioned, and I look forward to sharing more in the months ahead.”
Looking ahead, the company said it expects fiscal 2026 revenue to be between $1.3 billion and $1.35 billion, with net income to be between $317 million and $325 million, and diluted earnings per share to be between $10.87 and $11.14.
