Exhibit 99.1

Lands’ End Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

DODGEVILLE, Wis., September 3, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Lands’ End, Inc. (NASDAQ: LE) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended July 31, 2026.

Charlie Cole, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Since joining Lands’ End, I have been energized by what I see ahead for this iconic American company. 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.”

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

•

Net revenue was $302.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $7.9 million or 2.7% from $294.1 million during the second quarter of 2025.

•

U.S. Digital Segment Net revenue was $268.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $13.6 million or 5.3% from $255.3 million in the second quarter of 2025.

•

U.S. eCommerce Net revenue was $182.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $15.1 million or 9.0% from $167.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by carryover shipments from the temporary disruption associated with the rollout of the new warehouse management system in the first quarter of 2026.

•

Outfitters Net revenue was $69.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $2.9 million or 4.4% from $66.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by enterprise accounts which more than offset the impact of warehouse management system challenges affecting the processing of value-added service products in our school uniform business.

•

Third Party Net revenue was $17.2 million, for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $4.4 million or 20.4% from $21.6 million during the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to prioritizing profitable high-quality sales and brand quality over lower-value promotional volume.

•

Europe eCommerce Net revenue was $19.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $0.1 million or 0.5%, from $19.6 million during the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a strategic shift to a franchise-first assortment simplifying the business and improving product margins.

•

Gross profit was $157.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $13.6 million or 9.5% from $143.4 million during the second quarter of 2025. Gross margin increased approximately 320 basis points to 52.0% in the second quarter of 2026, compared with 48.8% in the second quarter of 2025. The gross margin increase was primarily driven by the IEEPA tariff refunds, partially offset by the new royalty structure associated with the JV, and temporary costs associated with our new warehouse management system.

•

Selling and administrative expenses increased $5.9 million to $135.3 million or 44.8% of Net revenue in the second quarter of 2026, compared with $129.4 million or 44.0% of Net revenue in the second quarter of 2025. The approximately 80 basis point increase was driven by investment in digital marketing focused on new customer acquisition and operational inefficiencies from the temporary disruption of the new warehouse management system partially offset by leverage from higher net revenue.

•

Net income was $3.5 million, and $0.11 earnings per diluted share in the second quarter of 2026 compared to Net loss of $3.7 million and $0.12 loss per diluted share in the second quarter of 2025.

•

Adjusted net income was $2.7 million and Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.09 in the second quarter of 2026, compared to Adjusted net loss of $1.1 million and Adjusted diluted loss per share of $0.04 in the second quarter of 2025.

•

Adjusted EBITDA was $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of 25% compared to $15.1 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents were $16.1 million as of July 31, 2026, compared to $21.3 million as of August 1, 2025.

Inventories were $342.0 million as of July 31, 2026, and $301.8 million as of August 1, 2025, representing a 13% year over year increase. That increase primarily reflects inventory levels consistent with the Company’s normal seasonal build and support its current revenue projections compared to the intentionally lean inventory position the Company held a year ago amid tariff uncertainty.

Net cash used in operating activities was $86.5 million for the 26 weeks ended July 31, 2026, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $0.5 million for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2025. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the impact of the closing of the WHP Global transaction and the seasonal build of inventory to support the fall and holiday selling seasons.

As previously announced, the Company used the majority of the $300 million in cash proceeds from the WHP Global transaction to fully repay its term loan.

As of July 31, 2026, the Company had $60.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $89.3 million of availability under its ABL Facility, compared to $35.0 million of borrowings and $87.6 million of availability as of August 1, 2025.

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased $10.5 million of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program announced on April 1, 2026. As of July 31, 2026, additional purchases of up to $89.2 million could be made under the current program through March 31, 2029.

Outlook

Bernie McCracken, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "We made meaningful progress during the second quarter, moving beyond the distribution center challenges that affected our operations earlier in the year. Our core U.S. eCommerce operations normalized during the quarter and Outfitters has now returned to normal operating levels. We also repurchased approximately 3% of our outstanding shares, reflecting our disciplined approach to capital allocation and our confidence in the long-term value of Lands’ End. Combined with our significantly reduced debt and interest expense, these developments provide a stronger foundation for executing through the holiday season and creating long-term value."

The Company’s guidance reflects current conditions, including tariffs at currently implemented rates and prevailing macroeconomic factors.

For Third Quarter fiscal 2026 the Company expects:

•

Net revenue to be between $300.0 million and $330.0 million.

•

Net loss to be between $1.0 million and net income of $3.0 million and diluted loss per share to be between $0.03 and diluted earnings per share of $0.10.

•

Adjusted net income to be between $2.0 million and $6.0 million and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $0.07 and $0.20.

•

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $14.0 million to $18.0 million.

For fiscal 2026 the Company now expects:

•

Net revenue to be between $1.30 billion and $1.35 billion.

•

Net income to be between $317.0 million and $325.0 million and diluted earnings per share to be between $10.87 and $11.14.

•

Adjusted net income to be between $13.0 million and $21.0 million and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $0.44 and $0.72.

•

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $62.0 million to $70.0 million.

For the full year, the Company’s guidance includes approximately $40.0 million of capital expenditures.

Definitions, Reconciliations and Uses of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our Net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating operating performance, we report the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted net income (loss) is also expressed on a diluted per share basis.

We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors, allowing them to assess how the business performed excluding the effects of significant non-recurring or non-operational amounts. We believe the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates comparing the results being reported against past and future results by eliminating amounts that we believe are not comparable between periods and assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s own methods for evaluating business performance.

Our management uses Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our business for comparable periods and to discuss our business with our Board of Directors, institutional investors and other market participants. Adjusted EBITDA is also used as the basis for a performance measure used in executive incentive compensation.

The methods we use to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods other companies use to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions as these measures may exclude a number of important cash and non-cash recurring items.

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding significant non-recurring or non-operational items as set forth below. Adjusted net income (loss) is also presented on a diluted per share basis. While Adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of operating performance and useful to investors.

•

Other significant non-recurring or non-operational 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 and are described below:

Corporate restructuring and other – composed of costs related to the strategic alternative process and completion and severance and benefit costs for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 31, 2026 and August 1, 2025 as well as costs related to the transition of executive leadership for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 31, 2026.

Unmitigated tariff costs – unmitigated incremental product costs, net of the impact of vendor negotiations, incurred pursuant to International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) tariffs that were subsequently ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court of the United States on February 20, 2026 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 31, 2026 and August 1, 2025.

JV intangible asset amortization – Lands’ End’s proportionate share of intangible asset amortization expense recorded within the JV’s financial results for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 31, 2026.

Unmitigated tariff recovery – unmitigated incremental product costs, net of the impact of vendor negotiations, incurred pursuant to International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) tariffs that were subsequently ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court of the United States on February 20, 2026 recovered for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 31, 2026.

Loss on extinguishment of debt – prepayment premium associated with the repayment of the Term Loan Facility before the scheduled maturity date and the write off of related unamortized debt issuance costs of the Term Loan Facility for the 26 weeks ended July 31, 2026.

Exit costs – charges associated to exit kids and footwear lines of business including inventory excess and obsolescence reserves, inventory discounts and operational charges recorded in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2025 in conjunction with our licensing arrangements commencing in Fiscal 2024.

Gain on WHP Transaction – Gain recognized in conjunction with the transfer of the Lands’ End intellectual property to the JV, and immediately thereafter, sale of a 50% controlling ownership stake in the JV to WHP Global for the 26 weeks ended July 31, 2026.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share:
