For its third quarter, Lands’ End, Inc. net revenue decreased 0.5 percent to 340 million dollars compared to the same period last year. The company said in a statement that sales decline reflected 89 fewer Lands’ End shops at Sears, which resulted in a net revenue decline from Sears operations of 17 million dollars. US ecommerce revenue growth was 7.4 percent, driven by greater demand for key items and a high single digit increase in new customer acquisitions, while same store sales for US company operated stores increased by 8.3 percent.

Commenting on the third quarter results, Jerome S. Griffith, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, stated: “We were pleased to have delivered strong financial results for the third quarter as gross margin expansion and expense management enabled us to achieve Adjusted EBITDA growth of approximately 20 percent. Overall, we are pleased with our progress and remain on track to achieve our long-term financial targets.”
