New accounting standard not yet adopted In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements no. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections". Statement 145 rescinds Statement 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt-an amendment of APB Opinion No. 30", which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria set forth by APB Opinion 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. Statement 64 amended Statement 4, and is no longer necessary because Statement 4 has been rescinded. Statement 44 was issued to establish accounting requirements for the effects of transition to the provisions of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. Statement 145 also amends Statement 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also makes non-substantive technical corrections to existing pronouncements. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 with earlier adoption encouraged. The company does not expect the provisions of SFAS No. 145 to have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows and intends to adopt SFAS No. 145 for the 2003 fiscal year. 9 LANDS' END, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 2. Shareholder's investment Stock options Pursuant to shareholder approval in May 2002, the company increased from 5.5 million to 6.7 million the number of shares of common stock, either authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares, that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the company's Stock Option Plan (for employees). As of June 4, 2002, a total of 2,762,006 shares of company common stock have been issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options awarded under the Stock Option Plan (for employees) and Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. In addition, a total of 2,788,051 stock options are currently outstanding. Per the company's stock option plans, consummation of the tender offer by Sears, Roebuck and Co. shall cause all company stock options to fully vest and become exercisable. Upon completion of the merger, each unexercised and outstanding stock option will be cancelled and exchanged for a cash payment equal to the excess of $62 over the grant price, less applicable taxes. 10 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis Results of Operations Three Months Ended May 3, 2002, compared with Three Months Ended April 27, 2001 On May 13, 2002, Lands' End announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Sears, Roebuck and Co. for Sears to acquire 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Lands' End in a cash tender offer for $62 a share, or approximately $1.9 billion (the "Transaction"). Additional information on this "Transaction" can be obtained from filings on behalf of the company with the S.E.C. commencing on May 13, 2002. Total revenue for the first quarter just ended was $341.2 million, up 10 percent from $311.1 million in the prior year's first quarter. In the quarter just ended, growth in the core business segment was led by strength in the women's division. The co-ed division showed modest growth, and men's showed a modest decline. In the specialty segment, the Kids and Home divisions were relatively flat; and Business Outfitters was slightly down. All international businesses had strong sales increases when measured in their local currencies, and overall international sales in U.S. dollars were improved from last year. Internet sales at landsend.com were $79 million in the quarter just ended, compared with $54 million in the prior year. Gross profit for the quarter just ended was $157 million, or 46.0 percent of total revenue, compared with $132 million, or 42.4 percent of total revenue in the prior year. Merchandise gross profit margin rose due to higher initial margins from improved sourcing, as well as from lower levels of liquidations and lower provisions for inventory reserves. Lower liquidations of excess inventory were due to a change in timing of our post- holiday clearance catalog that shifted revenue into the fourth quarter of last year. Liquidation of excess inventory was 8 percent of net merchandise sales for the first quarter, compared with 11 percent in the prior year. Inventory was $216 million as of May 3, 2002, up 9 percent from $198 million at the same time last year. Inventory is currently in line with the sales increase and with planned levels, and the quality of inventory is improved from the prior year. For the first quarter this year, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $131 million, up 8 percent from $121 million in the prior year. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A was 38.5 percent, compared with 39.0 percent in the prior year. Stronger customer response resulted in increased productivity per catalog page, resulting in relatively lower catalog costs. These improvements were partially offset by higher accruals for employee compensation and profit-sharing expense, both due to improved profitability. Net income for the quarter just ended was $16.5 million, and diluted earnings per share were $0.54, compared with net income of $5.9 million, or $0.20, for the same period last year. 11 Segment results The company has three business segments consisting of Core (regular monthly and prospecting catalogs, Lands' End Women and Lands' End Men), Specialty (Kids, Business Outfitters, and Home catalogs) and International (foreign-based operations in Japan, United Kingdom and Germany). "Other" includes currency gains and losses, corporate expenses, intercompany eliminations, and other income and deduction items that are not allocated to segments. The core segment's net merchandise sales were $197.5 million, representing 62.8 percent of the company's net merchandise sales and an increase of $24.8 million from the prior year. The women's and co-ed divisions accounted for the strong growth in the core segment. The core segment's pretax income increased $12.2 million from the prior year. The specialty segment's net merchandise sales were $85.5 million, which were 27.2 percent of the company's net merchandise sales and $0.8 million below the prior year. This sales decrease was principally from our Business Outfitters and Kids divisions. The specialty segment's pretax income increased $1.0 million from the prior year. The international segment's net merchandise sales were $31.6 million, which were 10.0 percent of total net merchandise sales and $3.5 million above the prior year. The increase was mainly from the German and United Kingdom businesses. The international segment's pretax income increased by $2.8 million from the prior year.

Historically, a disproportionate amount of the company's revenue and a majority of its profits have been realized during the fourth quarter. If the company's sales were materially different from seasonal norms during the fourth quarter, the company's annual operating results could be materially affected. In addition, as the company continues to refine its marketing efforts by experimenting with the timing of its catalog mailings, quarterly results may fluctuate. Accordingly, results for the individual quarters are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. Liquidity and capital resources To date, the bulk of the company's working capital needs have been met through funds generated from operations and from short-term bank loans. The company's principal need for working capital has been to meet peak inventory requirements associated with its seasonal sales pattern. In addition, the company's resources have been used to make asset additions and purchase treasury stock. The company has a 3-year $200 million senior unsecured revolving credit agreement ("Credit facility) with a syndicate of banks to provide funding for working capital for operations and general corporate purposes. The Credit facility will mature on November 4, 2004, with a provision for a one-year extension, subject to lender approval. Additionally, the company may request that the lenders increase the total commitment to an amount not to exceed $250 million. Indebtedness under the Credit facility bears interest calculated, at the company's option, at either defined base rate, LIBOR plus a margin based on the company's fixed charge coverage ratio or competitive bid rates. Under the Credit facility, the company is required to pay a facility fee based on the total commitment and to maintain certain financial ratios, including fixed charge coverage and total indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). At May 3, 2002, the only reduction to this Credit facility was about $31 million of outstanding letters of credit. The company also maintains foreign credit lines for use in foreign operations totaling the equivalent of approximately $43 million as of May 3, 2002, of which about $17 million was outstanding. Since fiscal 1990, the company's board of directors has authorized the company from time to time to purchase a total of 14.7 million shares of treasury stock. As of June 4, 2002, 13.1 million shares have been purchased, and there is a balance of 1.6 million shares available to the company. 13 Capital investment Capital expenditures for fiscal 2003 are currently planned to be about $35 million, of which about $7 million had been expended through May 3, 2002. Major projects to date have been investments in our information technology and certain material handling equipment. The company believes that its cash flow from operations and borrowings under its current credit facilities will provide adequate resources to meet its capital requirements, operational needs and treasury stock purchases for the foreseeable future. Possible future changes A 1992 Supreme Court decision confirmed that the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause bars a state from requiring the collection of its use tax by a mail order company unless the company has a physical presence in the state. The company attempts to conduct its operations in compliance with its interpretation of this legal standard. However, there continues to be uncertainty due to inconsistent application of the Supreme Court decision by state and federal courts. While the company has not received assessments from any state, there can be no assurance the company's compliance will not be challenged. The amount of potential assessments, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. The Supreme Court decision also established that Congress has the power to enact legislation that would permit states to require collection of use taxes by mail order companies. In October 1998, the Internet Tax Freedom Act was enacted. Among other things, this act placed a three-year moratorium on multiple and discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce and appointed an Advisory Commission to study tax issues related to electronic and other forms of commerce. In its final report to Congress on April 3, 2000, the Advisory Commission favored the extension of the moratorium and greater uniformity and simplification of the state sales and use tax systems. The moratorium has since been extended until November 1, 2003. Also, there have been several other initiatives at the congressional and state levels to implement the Advisory Commission's recommendations to modify current sales and use tax laws and policies. We continue to monitor this activity and its potential effect on the company's collection obligations. The company anticipates that any legislative change, if adopted, would be applied only on a prospective basis. Business Outlook On April 9, 2002, Lands' End updated its business outlook and filed it with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a form 8-K. Because of the Transaction described previously, no further guidance is being provided at this time. 14 Statement regarding forward-looking information Statements in this document that are not historical, including, without limitation, statements regarding our plans, expectations, assumptions, and estimations for the Transaction or for fiscal 2003 revenues, gross profit margin, and earnings, as well as anticipated sales trends and future development of our business strategy, are considered forward-looking and speak only as of today's date. As such, these statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Future results may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these statements due to a number of factors. Currently, we believe that the principal factors that create uncertainty about our future results are the following: customer response to our merchandise offerings, circulation changes and other initiatives; the mix of our sales between full price and liquidation merchandise; overall consumer confidence and general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign; effects of weather on customer purchasing behavior; effects of shifting patterns of e-commerce versus catalog purchases; costs associated with printing and mailing catalogs and fulfilling orders; dependence on consumer seasonal buying patterns; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and changes that may have different effects on the various sectors in which we operate (e.g., rather than individual consumers, the Business Outfitters division, included in the specialty segment, sells to numerous corporations, and certain of these sales are for their corporate promotional activities). Our future results could, of course, be affected by other factors as well. Also, the Transaction is not yet completed and is subject to a two-thirds minimum tender condition. More information about these risks and uncertainties may be found in the company's 8-K and 10-K filings with the S.E.C. The company does not undertake to publicly update or revise its forward- looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized. Additional information This document is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities of Lands' End. On May 17, 2002, a tender offer (referenced above) commenced, Sears, Roebuck and Co. filed a tender offer statementCompany with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and was subsequently amended by the Company and declared effective by the SEC on March 17, 2014. The Company’s common stock began “regular way” trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market after the distribution date under the symbol “LE”.
Prior to the completion of the Separation, Sears Holdings transferred all the remaining assets and liabilities of Lands’ End that were held by Sears Holdings to Lands’ End or its subsidiaries. Lands’ End also paid a dividend of $500.0 million to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corporation immediately prior to the Separation.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements presented herein represent (i) periods prior to April 4, 2014 when we were a wholly owned subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corporation (referred to as “Condensed Combined Financial Statements”) and (ii) the period as of and subsequent to April 4, 2014 when we became a separate publicly-traded company (referred to as “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been reflected. Dollar amounts are reported in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise noted. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Lands' End Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 25, 2014.
Our historical Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been prepared on a solicitation/recommendation statementstandalone basis and have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Sears Holdings. The Condensed Combined Financial Statements include Lands’ End, Inc. and subsidiaries and certain other items related to the Lands’ End business which were held by Sears Holdings prior to the Separation, primarily the Lands’ End Shops at Sears. These items were contributed by Sears Holdings to Lands’ End, Inc. prior to the Separation. These historical Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.
The Condensed Combined Balance Sheets prior to April 4, 2014, include the allocation of certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held by Sears Holdings but which are specifically identifiable or allocable to Lands’ End. All intracompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Prior to the Separation, all intercompany transactions between Sears Holdings and Lands’ End were considered to be effectively settled in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements at the time the transactions were recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the Condensed Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity and in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets as Net parent company investment.

Through April 4, 2014, Sears Holdings Corporation’s investment in Lands’ End is shown as Net parent company investment in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheet. Upon completion of the Separation, the Company had 31,956,521 shares of common stock outstanding at a par value of $0.01 per share. After Separation adjustments were recorded, the remaining Net parent company investment, which includes all earnings prior to Separation, was transferred to Additional paid-in capital.
As a business operation of Sears Holdings, we did not maintain our own tax and certain other corporate support functions prior to the Separation. We entered into agreements with Sears Holdings for the continuation of certain of these services, as well as to support the Lands' End Shops at Sears. These expenses had been allocated to Lands’ End based on direct usage or benefit where identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis based upon revenue, headcount, square footage or other measures. Lands’ End considers the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, the costs and allocations charged to the Company by Sears Holdings do not necessarily reflect the costs of obtaining the services from unaffiliated third parties or of the Company providing the applicable services itself. The historical Condensed Combined Financial Statements contained herein may not be indicative of the Company’s financial position, operating results, and cash flows in the future, or what they would have been if it had been a standalone company during all periods presented. See Note 8 - Related Party.
Prior to the Separation, Sears Holdings provided financing, cash management and other treasury services to Lands' End. Sears Holdings used a centralized approach to its U.S. domestic cash management and financing of its operations. The majority of our cash was transferred to Sears Holdings on a daily basis. Sears Holdings was also our only source of funding for our operating and investing activities. Upon Separation, cash and restricted cash held by Sears Holdings were not allocated to Lands’ End unless the cash or restricted cash was held by an entity that was transferred to Lands’ End. Sears Holdings’ third-party debt, and the related interest expense, was not allocated to us for any of the periods presented as we were not the legal obligor of the debt and the Sears Holdings borrowings were not directly attributable to our business.
NOTE 2. INCOME TAXES
Lands’ End and Sears Holdings Corporation entered into a tax sharing agreement (the “Tax Sharing Agreement”) in connection with the Separation which governs Sears Holdings Corporation’s and Lands’ End’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to liabilities for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes attributable to the offer. InvestorsLands’ End business. In addition to the allocation of tax liabilities, the Tax Sharing Agreement addresses the preparation and Lands'filing of tax returns for such taxes and dispute resolution with taxing authorities regarding such taxes. Generally, Sears Holdings Corporation is liable for all pre-Separation U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. Lands’ End generally is liable for all other income taxes attributable to its business, including all foreign taxes.
As of May 2, 2014, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) of $8.8 million. Of this amount, $5.7 million would, if recognized, impact our effective tax rate, with the remaining amount being comprised of UTBs related to gross temporary differences or other indirect benefits. The Company does not expect that UTBs will fluctuate in the next 12 months for tax audit settlements and the expiration of the statute of limitations for certain jurisdictions. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, Sears Holdings Corporation is generally responsible for all U.S. federal, state and local UTBs through the date of the Separation and, as such, they have been recorded in Net parent company investment on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets.
The Company classifies interest expense and penalties related to UTBs and interest income on tax overpayments as components of income tax expense. As of May 2, 2014, the total amount of interest expense and penalties recognized on our balance sheet was $5.1 million ($3.3 million net of federal benefit). The total amount of net interest expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations was $0.1 million and $0.0 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2013, respectively. We file income tax returns in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. The Company is under examination by various state income tax jurisdictions for the years 2002–2012.

Impacts of Separation
Prior to the Separation, the tax provision and related tax accounts represented the tax attributable to the Company as if the Company filed a separate tax return.  However, the computed obligations were settled through Sears Holdings Corporation. Accordingly, the taxes payable and related tax payments were reflected directly in Net parent company investment in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets. 
As a result of the Separation, the Company will be filing its own income tax returns and, as a result certain tax attributes previously included in Net parent company investment have been reclassified.  Specifically, subsequent to the Separation the Company has reclassified (i) $30.1 million of deferred tax assets related primarily to foreign tax credits; and (ii) a $13.7 million reserve for uncertain tax positions out of Net parent company investment and into Deferred tax liabilities and Other liabilities, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets as of May 2, 2014.  In addition, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, a $13.7 million receivable has been recorded by the Company to reflect the indemnification by Sears Holdings Corporation of the pre-Separation uncertain tax positions for which Sears Holdings is responsible.  This receivable has been included in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets.
NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The numerator for both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) is net income attributable to Lands’ End. The denominator for basic and diluted EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of Lands’ End common stock outstanding during the reporting periods. For periods ended April 4, 2014 and prior, basic and diluted earnings per share are computed using the number of shares of Lands’ End common stock outstanding on April 4, 2014, the date on which the Lands’ End common stock was distributed to the shareholders of Sears Holdings Corporation. The same number of shares was used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share since there were no dilutive securities in any of the periods presented.

NOTE 5. DEBT
Debt Arrangements
In connection with the Separation, Lands’ End entered into an asset-based senior secured credit agreement, dated as of April 4, 2014, with Bank of America, N.A., which provides for maximum borrowings of $175.0 million (“ABL Facility”) for Lands’ End, subject to a borrowing base, with a $30.0 million sub facility for a United Kingdom subsidiary borrower of Lands’ End (the “UK Borrower”). The ABL Facility has a sub-limit of $70.0 million for domestic letters of credit and a sub-limit of $15.0 million for letters of credit for the UK Borrower. The ABL Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and was undrawn at the Separation and at May 2, 2014, other than for letters of credit. The Company had borrowing availability under the ABL Facility of $160.2 million as of May 2, 2014, net of outstanding letters of credit of $14.8 million.
Also on April 4, 2014, Lands’ End entered into a term loan credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., which provides a senior secured term loan facility of $515.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the ABL Facility, the “Facilities”), the proceeds of which were used to pay a dividend of $500.0 million to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corporation immediately prior to the Separation and to pay fees and expenses associated with the Facilities of approximately $11.3 million, with the remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes. The fees were capitalized as debt issuance costs within Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets and are strongly advisedbeing amortized as an adjustment to readInterest expense over the tender offer statement (includingremaining life of the Facilities.
Maturity; Amortization and Prepayments
The ABL Facility will mature on April 4, 2019. The Term Loan Facility will mature on April 4, 2021 and will amortize at a rate equal to 1% per annum, and is subject to mandatory prepayment in an offeramount equal to purchase,a percentage of the borrower’s excess cash flows in each fiscal year, ranging from 0% to 50% depending on Lands’ End’s secured leverage ratio, and the proceeds from certain asset sales and casualty events.

Guarantees; Security
All domestic obligations under the Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by Lands’ End and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the obligations of the UK Borrower under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by its existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries organized in the United Kingdom. The ABL Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in certain working capital of the borrowers and guarantors consisting primarily of accounts receivable and inventory. The Term Loan Facility is secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral, with certain exceptions.
The Term Loan Facility also is secured by a first priority security interest in certain property and assets of the borrowers and guarantors, including certain fixed assets and stock of subsidiaries. The ABL Facility is secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral.
Interest; Fees

The borrowing margin is fixed for the Term Loan Facility at 3.25% in the case of LIBOR loans and 2.25% in the case of base rate loans. For the Term Loan Facility, LIBOR is subject to a 1% interest rate floor. The borrowing margin for the ABL Facility is subject to adjustment based on the average excess availability under the ABL Facility for the preceding fiscal quarter, and will range from 1.50% to 2.00% in the case of LIBOR borrowings and will range from 0.50% to 1.00% in the case of base rate borrowings.
Customary agency fees are payable in respect of both Facilities. The ABL Facility fees also include (i) commitment fees, based on a percentage ranging from approximately 0.25% to 0.375% of the daily unused portions of the ABL Facility, and (ii) customary letter of transmittalcredit fees.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The Facilities contain various representations and warranties and restrictive covenants that, among other things and subject to specified exceptions, restrict the ability of Lands’ End and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness (including guarantees), grant liens, make investments, make dividends or distributions with respect to capital stock, make prepayments on other indebtedness, engage in mergers or change the nature of their business. In addition, if excess availability under the ABL Facility falls below the greater of 10% of the loan cap amount or $15.0 million, Lands’ End will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. The Facilities do not otherwise contain financial maintenance covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related tender documents)to the Facilities as of May 2, 2014.

The Company determines fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels:
Level 1 inputs—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. An active market for the asset or liability is one in which transactions for the asset or liability occurs with sufficient frequency and volume to provide ongoing pricing information.
Level 2 inputs—inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rate curves and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, credit risk and default rates.
Level 3 inputs—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The following table provides the fair value measurement amounts for financial assets and liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets at fair value:

Restricted cash amounts are valued based upon statements received from financial institutions. Long-term debt was valued utilizing level 2 valuation techniques as contract terms were deemed indicative of the current market due to the short duration between the execution of the agreement and the balance sheet date. There were no nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of May 2, 2014, May 3, 2013 and January 31, 2014.

NOTE 7. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method. The net carrying amount of goodwill, trade names and customer lists are within the Direct segment of reportable business segments. Total amortization expense relating to intangible assets was $0.7 million for both the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2013. There were no impairments of goodwill or intangible assets during these periods.

NOTE 9. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company is a leading multi-channel retailer of casual clothing, accessories and footwear, as well as home products, and has two reportable segments: Direct and Retail. Both segments sell similar products—apparel, which includes accessories and footwear, and products for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure. Derivative instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedgedhome. Apparel and must be designated as a hedge at the inceptionhome revenues constituted over 99% of total revenues during each of the contract. As of13 week periods ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2002,2013. The Company identifies reportable segments according to how business activities are managed and evaluated. Each of the company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts totaling about $60.5 millionCompany’s operating segments are reportable segments and options totaling nearly $4.9 million, comparedare strategic business units that offer similar products and services but are sold either directly from our warehouses (Direct) or through our retail stores (Retail). Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is the primary measure used to make decisions on allocating resources and assessing performance of each operating segment. Adjusted EBITDA is computed as Income before taxes appearing on the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations net of interest expense, depreciation and amortization and other significant items which, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and may have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which may affect comparability of results. Reportable segment assets are those directly used in or clearly allocable to an operating segment’s operations. Depreciation, amortization, and property and equipment expenditures are recognized in each respective segment. There were no material transactions between reporting segments for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2013.
The Direct segment sells products through the Company’s e-commerce websites and direct mail catalogs. Operating costs consist primarily of direct marketing costs (catalog and e-commerce advertising costs); order processing and shipping costs; direct labor and benefits costs and facility costs. Assets primarily include goodwill and trade name intangible assets, inventory, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses (deferred catalog costs), technology infrastructure, and property and equipment.
The Retail segment sells products and services through dedicated Lands’ End Shops at Sears across the United States and the Company’s standalone Lands’ End Inlet stores. Operating costs consist primarily of labor and benefits costs; rent, CAM and occupancy costs; distribution costs; and in-store marketing costs. Assets primarily include inventory in the prior yearretail stores, fixtures and leasehold improvements.
Corporate overhead and other expenses include unallocated shared-service costs, which primarily consist of nearly $59 millionemployee services and financial services, legal and corporate expenses. These expenses include labor and benefits costs, corporate headquarters occupancy costs and other administrative expenses. Assets include corporate headquarters and facilities, corporate cash and deferred income taxes.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The companyCompany is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These actions include commercial, intellectual property, employment, regulatory and product liability claims. Some of these actions involve complex factual and legal issues and are subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal course of business, primarily as a result of its short-term borrowing and investment activities at variable interest rates. As of May 3, 2002, the company had no outstanding financial instruments related to its debt or investments. 16 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedingsuncertainties. There are no material legal proceedings presently pending, except for routine litigation incidental to the business to which Lands' End, Inc.,the Company is a party or of which any of its property is the subject. Itemssubject, and the matters described below. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any current legal proceeding would have a material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position taken as a whole.
Beginning in 2005, the Company initiated the first of several claims in Iowa County Circuit Court against the City of Dodgeville to recover overpaid taxes resulting from the city’s excessive assessment of the Company’s headquarters campus. As of June 12, 2014, the courts reviewing these claims have ordered the city to return, and the city has refunded, over $3.2 million in excessive taxes and interest to the Company, including approximately $1.6 million for the case involving the 2005 and 2006 tax years that was recognized in 2009, and a partial recovery of approximately $1.6 million for the consolidated cases, involving the 2007, 2009 and 2010 tax years, recognized in 2013 within Selling and administrative costs in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations and for which the Company appealed seeking the remainder of our claim of $1.2 million plus additional interest. In September 2013, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals awarded the Company $0.7 million in tax reimbursement plus an as-yet uncalculated amount of interest on the Company’s claim relating to the 2008 tax year, which the City of Dodgeville has not yet paid. In May 2014, the Court of Appeals granted in part the Company's appeal of the consolidated 2007, 2009 and 2010 tax assessment cases, concluding that the Company was entitled to a further reduction in its 2007 and 2009 assessments. The Company estimates that this ruling will entitle the Company to an additional refund of approximately $0.6 million, plus an as-yet uncalculated amount of interest. Excluding the claim relating to the 2005 and 2006 tax years for which all appeals have been exhausted, the Company believes its outstanding claims covering the still-disputed tax years from 2007 through 2012 may yield a potential aggregate recovery from the City of Dodgeville of $3.3 million or more, none of which has been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

NOTE 12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
New Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and 3make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. This guidance will be effective for Lands' End in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 2, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the Company's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which modifies the requirements for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and expands related disclosure requirements. This guidance will be effective for Lands' End in its fiscal year ending January 29, 2016. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

16



Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward that the entity intends to use and is available for settlement at the reporting date. The update was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2014 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated and Combined financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Executive Overview
Description of the Company
Lands’ End, Inc. (“Lands’ End,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) is a leading multi-channel retailer of casual clothing, accessories and footwear, as well as home products. We offer products through catalogs, online at www.landsend.com and affiliated specialty and international websites, and through retail locations, primarily at Lands’ End Shops at Sears and standalone Lands’ End Inlet stores that sell a combination of full-price and liquidation merchandise. We are a classic American lifestyle brand with a passion for quality, legendary service and real value, and we seek to deliver timeless style for men, women, kids and the home. Lands’ End was founded in 1963 in Chicago by Gary Comer and his partners to sell sailboat hardware and equipment by catalog. While our product focus has shifted significantly over the years, we have continued to adhere to our founder’s motto as one of our guiding principles: “Take care of the customer, take care of the employee and the rest will take care of itself.”
On March 14, 2014, the board of directors of Sears Holdings Corporation (inclusive of all of its subsidiaries, “Sears Holdings”) approved the distribution of the issued and outstanding shares of Lands’ End common stock on the basis of 0.300795 shares of Lands’ End common stock for each share of Sears Holdings Corporation common stock held on March 24, 2014, the record date (the “Separation”). Sears Holdings Corporation distributed 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Lands’ End to its shareholders on April 4, 2014. Lands’ End had been acquired by Sears, Roebuck and Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sears Holdings, in 2002.

These historical Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
The Condensed Combined Balance Sheets prior to April 4, 2014, include the allocation of certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held by Sears Holdings but which are specifically identifiable or allocable to Lands’ End. All intracompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Prior to the Separation, all intercompany transactions between Sears Holdings and Lands’ End are considered to be effectively settled in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements at the time the transactions are recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the Condensed Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity and in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets as Net parent company investment.

18



Through April 4, 2014, Sears Holdings Corporation’s investment in Lands’ End is shown as Net parent company investment in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheet. Upon completion of the Separation, the Company had 31,956,521 shares of common stock outstanding at a par value of $0.01 per share. After Separation adjustments were recorded, the remaining Net parent company investment, which includes all earnings prior to the Separation, was transferred to Additional paid-in capital.
Impacts from the Separation from Sears Holdings
Following the Separation, we began operating as a separate, publicly traded company, independent from Sears Holdings, which has a range of impacts on our operations:
General administrative and separation costs. Historically, we have used the corporate functions of Sears Holdings for a variety of shared services. We will continue to pay Sears Holdings a fee for a variety of shared services (approximately $0.4 million in 2014). We believe that the assumptions and methodologies underlying these expenses from Sears Holdings are reasonable. However, such expenses may not be indicative of the actual level of expense that would have been or will be incurred by us as we operate as a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings. We entered into agreements with Sears Holdings or its subsidiaries for the continuation of certain of these services on a transitional basis. We believe that the arrangements before the Separation, as reflected in the historical combined financial statements contained herein, are not materially different from the arrangements that were entered into as part of the Separation.
Standalone costs. We are also incurring increased costs as a result of becoming a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings. As a standalone company, we expect to incur incremental annual operating costs estimated to be approximately $8.0 million to $10.0 million to support our businesses, including management personnel, legal, finance, and human resources as well as certain costs associated with being a public company. We believe cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund these additional operating charges, the majority of which will be realized as selling and administrative expenses.
In addition, we estimate one-time information technology costs related to the Separation to be approximately $2.0 million to $3.0 million. These one-time costs include costs to support our business and certain costs associated with being a standalone company. A portion of these expenditures may be capitalized and amortized over their useful lives and others will be expensed as incurred, depending on their nature.
Sears Holdings Agreements. Following the Separation, Lands’ End and Sears Holdings operate separately, each as an independent company. We entered into certain agreements with Sears Holdings Corporation or its subsidiaries that effected the Separation, provided a framework for our relationship with Sears Holdings after the Separation and provided for the allocation between us and Sears Holdings of Sears Holdings’ assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including its investments, property and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation.
The prior arrangements, as reflected in the historical combined financial statements contained herein, are not materially different from the arrangements that were entered into with Sears Holdings in connection with the Separation, with the exception of the Shop Your Way member loyalty program. Net annual costs associated with the Shop Your Way member loyalty program are estimated to increase by approximately $11.0 to $13.0 million in 2014. The additional investment in the Shop Your Way member loyalty program is anticipated to be offset by increased profits from incremental revenue and reductions in promotions and advertising expense, as we expect to reduce our dependency on other marketing efforts as member engagement through the program continues to grow.
We do not believe that it will be necessary to employ a significant number of new employees to perform additional standalone or transition services. With respect to our retail operations, prior to the Separation, Sears Holdings provided retail staff for the Lands’ End Shops at Sears. Pursuant to a Voteretail operations agreement, we contracted with Sears Holdings to continue to provide such staff following the Separation. We continue to rely on our existing field management working in conjunction with retail staff contracted from Sears Holdings to manage our Lands’ End Shops at Sears.
Debt Service Costs. We are also incurring increased costs related to an asset-based senior secured credit facility which provides for maximum borrowings of Security Holders At$175.0 million (the “ABL Facility”) and on a senior secured term loan facility of $515.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 22, 2002, pursuantABL Facility, the “Facilities”). We anticipate interest costs related to the NoticeFacilities to be approximately $19.4 million for the ten months the

19



Facilities are effective in 2014. The interest costs include approximately $1.5 million of non-cash expense. Annual Meetingpayments under the Facilities are expected to be the cash interest charges plus the Term Loan Facility seven year amortization of Shareholdersprincipal at a rate equal to 1% per annum. See “Liquidity and Proxy Statement dated April 22, 2002,Capital Resources - Description of Material Indebtedness” below.
The aggregate amount of our standalone operating costs, the voting results were as follows: (a) Eachcosts associated with our agreements with Sears Holdings, and the debt service costs that we expect to incur in connection with the Separation are not expected to significantly impact our liquidity. We expect that our cash flows from operations and the available borrowing capacity of $175.0 million under the ABL Facility will provide adequate resources to meet our capital requirements and operational needs for the remainder of the three nominees (David F.

Seasonality
We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and operating results and historically have realized a significant portion of our net sales and earnings for the companyyear during our fourth fiscal quarter. We generated approximately 34% of our net sales in the fourth fiscal quarter of the past three years. Thus, lower than expected fourth quarter net sales could have an adverse impact on our annual operating results.
Working capital requirements typically increase during the second and third quarters of the fiscal year as inventory builds to support peak shipping/selling periods and, accordingly, typically decrease during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year as inventory is shipped/sold. Cash provided by operating activities is typically higher in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year due to reduced working capital requirements during that period.

Depreciation and amortization is not included in our cost of sales because we are a reseller of inventory and do not believe that including depreciation and amortization is meaningful. As a result, our gross margins may not be

20



comparable to other entities that include depreciation and amortization related to the sale of their product in their gross margin measure.
Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA
We recorded net income of $10.9 million and $7.3 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2013, respectively. In addition to our net income determined in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating operating performance, we use an Adjusted EBITDA measurement. Adjusted EBITDA is computed as net income appearing on the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations net of income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and certain significant items set forth below. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our businesses, as well as executive compensation metrics, for comparable periods. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions as it excludes a number of important cash and non-cash recurring items.
While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of ongoing operating performance, and useful to investors, because:
EBITDA excludes the effects of financings and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest and depreciation costs.
Other significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and may have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which may affect comparability of results. We have adjusted our results for these items to make our statements more comparable and therefore more useful to investors as the items are not representative of our ongoing operations. For the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014, we excluded the gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment as management considers the gains or losses on disposal of assets to result from investing decisions rather than ongoing operations.

In assessing the operational performance of our business, we consider a variety of financial measures. We operate in two reportable segments, Direct (sold through e-commerce websites and direct mail catalogs) and Retail (sold through stores). A key measure in the evaluation of our business is revenue performance by segment. We also consider gross margin and selling and administrative expenses in evaluating the performance of our business.
To evaluate revenue performance for the Direct segment we use total revenue of Merchandise sales and services, net. For our Retail segment, we use same store sales as a key measure in evaluating performance. Same store sales amounts within the following discussion include sales for all stores operating for a period of at least 12 full months where selling square footage has not changed by 15% or more within the past year. A store is included in same store sales calculations on the first day it has comparable prior year sales. Stores in which the selling square footage has changed by 15% or more as a result of a remodel, expansion or reduction are excluded from same store calculations until the first day they have comparable prior year sales. Online sales and sales generated through our

21



in-store computer kiosks are considered revenue in our Direct segment and are excluded from same store sales.
13-Week Period Ended May 2, 2014 compared to the 13-Week Period Ended May 3, 2013
Merchandise Sales and Services, Net
Total revenues for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 were $330.5 million, compared to $319.0 million in the same period of the prior year, an increase of $11.5 million, or 4%. The increase was attributable to an increase in our Direct segment revenue of $12.7 million partially offset by a decrease in our Retail segment revenue of $1.3 million.
Direct segment revenues were $276.0 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014, an increase of $12.7 million, or 5% from the same period of the prior year. The increase in Direct segment revenues was driven by an increase in our U.S. consumer business. The increase in the U.S. consumer business was largely attributable to strong response to our spring and summer product offerings, particularly women's swimwear.
Retail segment revenues were $54.4 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 2% from the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in the number of Lands’ End Shops at Sears and a decrease in Shop Your Way member loyalty program redemption credits resulting from the commercial agreements entered into with Sears Holdings as part of the Separation, partially offset by an increase in same store sales. Same store sales in the Retail segment increased 3.4% driven by higher sales in the Company’s Lands’ End Shops at Sears. On May 2, 2014 the Company operated 251 Lands’ End Shops at Sears and 14 independent Inlet stores.
Gross Margin
Total gross margin was $162.0 million, or 49.0% of total revenues, compared to $154.6 million, or 48.5% of total revenues, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2013, respectively.
The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by increased Direct segment gross margin to $136.9 million, or 49.6% of total Direct segment revenues, compared to $126.4 million, or 48.0% of total Direct segment revenues for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2013, respectively. The Direct segment gross margin rate increased 160 basis points and was fueled by significantly higher gross margin in the U.S. consumer business attributable to improved merchandise assortment architecture and more targeted promotions.
Retail segment gross margin was $25.1 million, or 46.1% of total Retail segment revenues, compared to $28.2 million, or 50.6% of total Retail segment revenues for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2013, respectively. The Retail segment gross margin rate decreased 450 basis points. The decrease was primarily driven by lower gross margin associated with an increased mix of clearance units and by incremental net costs associated with the Shop Your Way member loyalty program.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses were $138.2 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 compared to $137.0 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase of $1.2 million in selling and administrative expense was primarily attributable to increased costs associated with being a standalone public company.
Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 41.8% for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and 42.9% for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a 4% increase in revenues versus a 1% increase in selling and administrative expenses which resulted in increased leverage of selling and administrative expenses.
Operating Income
Operating income was $18.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014, compared to operating income of $12.0 million in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2013. The increase in operating income of $6.8 million, or 57%, was primarily driven by increased gross margin, partially offset by increased selling and administrative expenses.

22



Interest Expense
Interest expense was $1.9 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014, and was attributable to higher debt levels and costs related to the issuance of the Term Loan Facility, which was used to pay a $500.0 million dividend to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corporation immediately prior to the Separation. We did not incur Interest expense in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2013.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate was 36.1% and 38.7% for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2013, respectively. The decreased rate was primarily due to lower effective state tax rates and one-time Separation related items.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $23.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $17.6 million in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2013. The 35% increase was primarily driven by the increase in operating income of $6.8 million described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of our business, capital expenditures, debt service and for general corporate purposes. The ABL Facility serves as a source of liquidity for short-term working capital needs and general corporate purposes. We expect that our cash flows from operations and the available borrowing capacity of $175.0 million under the ABL Facility will provide adequate resources to meet our capital requirements and operational needs for the remainder of the fiscal year. Beyond this fiscal year, we believe that our cash flow from operations, along with our ABL Facility will be adequate to meet our capital requirements and operational needs. Cash generated from our net sales and profitability, and somewhat to a lesser extent our changes in working capital, are driven by the seasonality of our business, with a disproportionate amount of net merchandise sales and operating cash flows occurring in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year.
Our working capital needs have been met primarily through funds generated from operations, with additional funding from Sears Holdings prior to the Separation to meet short-term working capital needs, mainly for our seasonal inventory builds. Sears Holdings used a centralized approach to its U.S. domestic cash management and financing of its operations. The majority of our cash was transferred to Sears Holdings on a daily basis. Sears Holdings was also our only source of funding for our operating and investing activities prior to the Separation. The principal methods by which Sears Holdings funded Lands’ End were to cover corporate and other expenses and to fund our seasonal inventory builds.
Description of Material Indebtedness
Debt Arrangements
Lands’ End entered into an asset-based senior secured credit agreement, dated as of April 4, 2014, with Bank of America, N.A., which provides for maximum borrowings of $175.0 million under the ABL Facility for Lands’ End, subject to a borrowing base, with a $30.0 million sub facility for a United Kingdom subsidiary borrower of Lands’ End (the “UK Borrower”). The ABL Facility has a sub-limit of $70.0 million for domestic letters of credit and a sub-limit of $15.0 million for letters of credit for the UK Borrower. The ABL Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and was undrawn at the Separation and at May 2, 2014, other than for letters of credit. The Company had borrowing availability under the ABL Facility of $160.2 million as of May 2, 2014, net of outstanding letters of credit of $14.8 million.
Also on April 4, 2014, Lands’ End entered into a term loan credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., with respect to the Term Loan Facility of $515.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to pay a dividend of $500.0 million to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corporation immediately prior to the Separation and to pay fees and expenses associated with the Facilities of approximately $11.3 million, with the remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.

23



Maturity; Amortization and Prepayments
The ABL Facility will mature on April 4, 2019. The Term Loan Facility will mature on April 4, 2021 and will amortize at a rate equal to 1% per annum, and is subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to a percentage of the borrower’s excess cash flows in each fiscal year, ranging from 0% to 50% depending on Lands’ End’s secured leverage ratio, and the proceeds from certain asset sales and casualty events.
Guarantees; Security
All domestic obligations under the Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by Lands’ End and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the obligations of the UK Borrower under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by its existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries organized in the United Kingdom. The ABL Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in certain working capital of the borrowers and guarantors consisting primarily of accounts receivable and inventory. The Term Loan Facility is secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral, with certain exceptions.
The Term Loan Facility also is secured by a first priority security interest in certain property and assets of the borrowers and guarantors, including certain fixed assets and stock of subsidiaries. The ABL Facility is secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral.
Interest; Fees
The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Facilities are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to, at the borrowers’ election, either (i) an adjusted London inter-bank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus a borrowing margin, or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a borrowing margin. The borrowing margin is fixed for the Term Loan Facility at 3.25% in the case of LIBOR loans and 2.25% in the case of base rate loans. For the Term Loan Facility, LIBOR is subject to a 1% interest rate floor. The borrowing margin for the ABL Facility is subject to adjustment based on the average excess availability under the ABL Facility for the preceding fiscal quarter, and will range from 1.50% to 2.00% in the case of LIBOR borrowings and will range from 0.50% to 1.00% in the case of base rate borrowings.

Customary agency fees are payable in respect of both facilities. The ABL Facility fees also include (i) commitment fees, based on a percentage ranging from approximately 0.25% to 0.375% of the daily unused portions of the facility, and (ii) customary letter of credit fees.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The Facilities contain various representations and warranties and restrictive covenants that, among other things and subject to specified exceptions, restrict the ability of Lands’ End and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness (including guarantees), grant liens, make investments, make dividends or distributions with respect to capital stock, make prepayments on other indebtedness, engage in mergers or change the nature of their business. In addition, if excess availability under the ABL Facility falls below the greater of 10% of the loan cap amount or $15.0 million, Lands’ End will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. The Facilities do not otherwise contain financial maintenance covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to the Facilities as of May 2, 2014.
The Facilities contain certain affirmative covenants, including reporting requirements such as delivery of financial statements, certificates and notices of certain events, maintaining insurance, and providing additional guarantees and collateral in certain circumstances.
Events of Default
The Facilities include customary events of default including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross defaults related to certain other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, invalidity or impairment of guarantees or security interests, and material judgments and change of control.

24



Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Operating activities generated net cash of $31.4 million and $19.5 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2013, respectively. Our primary source of operating cash flows is the sale of merchandise goods and services to customers, while the primary use of cash in operations is the purchase of merchandise inventories.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $11.9 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2013 primarily due to more efficient inventory management and higher net income in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.5 million and $0.8 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2013, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for both periods was primarily used for investment in information technology infrastructure and property and equipment.
For 2014, we plan to invest a total of approximately $25.0 - $30.0 million in capital expenditures for strategic investments and infrastructure, primarily in technology and general corporate needs.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $12.5 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 compared to net cash used for financing activities of $24.9 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2013. Financing activities in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 consisted of cash proceeds of $515.0 million from our Term Loan Facility and a $8.8 million contribution from Sears Holdings, offset by a $500.0 million dividend paid to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corporation prior to the Separation and $11.3 million of debt issuance costs related to the Facilities. Financing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2013 consisted of intercompany activity with Sears Holdings.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance-sheet arrangements other than the guarantees and contractual obligations that are discussed below.
Information concerning our obligations and commitments to make future payments under contracts such as lease agreements, and under contingent commitments, as of May 2, 2014, is aggregated in the following table:

At May 2, 2014, Lands’ End had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $8.8 million, which are not reflected in the table above. We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of liability payments arising from uncertain tax positions in individual years due to uncertainties in the timing of effective settlement of tax positions.


25



Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
Lands’ End entered into the ABL Facility, which provides for maximum borrowings of $175.0 million for Lands’ End, subject to a borrowing base, with a $30.0 million sub facility for the UK Borrower. The ABL Facility has a sub-limit of $70.0 million for domestic letters of credit and a sub-limit of $15.0 million for letters of credit for the UK Borrower. The ABL Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and was undrawn at the Separation and at May 2, 2014, other than for letters of credit. The Company had borrowing availability under the ABL Facility of $160.2 million as of May 2, 2014, net of outstanding letters of credit of $14.8 million.

In addition, Lands’ End has a $2.3 million foreign subsidiary credit facility that is supported by a Lands’ End, Inc. guarantee. This credit facility guarantees and allows for deferred payment of custom duties. This credit facility was not utilized during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2013.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with inventory valuation, goodwill and intangible asset impairment assessments and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.

The foregoing factors should not applicablebe understood as exhaustive and has been omitted Item 6. Exhibits and Reportsshould be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements, including the “Risk Factors,” that are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 8-K (a) Exhibits 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC and our other public announcements. While we believe that our forecasts and assumptions are reasonable, we caution that actual results may differ materially. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we projected. Consequently, actual events and results may vary significantly from those included in or contemplated or implied by our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf, whether as a result of new information, future developments, subsequent events or circumstances or otherwise.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in currency rates. We have not been materially impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as a significant portion of our business is transacted in U.S. dollars, and is expected to continue to be transacted in U.S. dollars or U.S. dollar-based currencies. As of May 2, 2014, we had $7.3 million of cash denominated in foreign currencies, principally in Euros and British Pound Sterling. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading purposes or hedging and have not used, and currently do not anticipate using, any derivative financial instruments. We do not consider our foreign earnings to be permanently reinvested.
We are subject to interest rate risk with our Term Loan Facility and our ABL Facility, as both require us to pay interest on outstanding borrowings at variable rates. Each one percentage point change in interest rates associated with the Term Loan Facility would result in a $5.2 million change in our annual cash interest expenses. Assuming our ABL Facility was fully drawn to a principal amount equal to $175.0 million, each one percentage point change in interest rates would result in a $1.8 million change in our annual cash interest expense.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Lands’ End’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer/Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that, as of May 2, 2014, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no exhibitschanges in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s first fiscal quarter ended May 2, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various claims, legal proceedings and investigations, including those described below. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of such pending claims, proceedings and investigations with certainty, management is of the opinion that their ultimate resolution should not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position, except where noted below.
Lands’ End’s legal proceedings include commercial, intellectual property, employment, regulatory, and product liability claims. Some of these actions involve complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. There are no material legal proceedings presently pending, except for routine litigation incidental
to the business to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property is the subject, and the matters described below. We do not believe that the outcome of any current legal proceeding would have a material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position taken as a whole.
Beginning in 2005, the Company initiated the first of several claims in Iowa County Circuit Court against the City of Dodgeville to recover overpaid taxes resulting from the city’s excessive assessment of the Company’s headquarters campus. As of June 12, 2014, the courts reviewing these claims have ordered the city to return, and the city has refunded, over $3.2 million in excessive taxes and interest to the Company, including approximately $1.6 million for the case involving the 2005 and 2006 tax years that was recognized in 2009, and a partial recovery of approximately $1.6 million for the consolidated cases, involving the 2007, 2009 and 2010 tax years, recognized in 2013 within Selling and administrative costs in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations and for which the Company appealed seeking the remainder of our claim of $1.2 million plus additional interest. In September 2013, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals awarded the Company $0.7 million in tax reimbursement plus an as-yet uncalculated amount of interest on the Company’s claim relating to the 2008 tax year, which the City of Dodgeville has not yet paid. In May 2014, the Court of Appeals granted in part the Company's appeal of the consolidated 2007, 2009 and 2010 tax assessment cases, concluding that the Company was entitled to a further reduction in its 2007 and 2009 assessments. The Company estimates that this ruling will entitle the Company to an additional refund of approximately $0.6 million, plus an as-yet uncalculated amount of interest. Excluding the claim relating to the 2005 and 2006 tax years for which all appeals have been exhausted, the Company believes its outstanding claims covering the still-disputed tax years from 2007 through 2012 may yield a potential aggregate recovery from the City of Dodgeville of $3.3 million or more, none of which has been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes with respect to the factors disclosed in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014, which was filed with the SEC on March 25, 2014.
ITEM 2: UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2014 and May 3, 2013, we did not issue or sell any shares of our common stock or other equity securities pursuant to unregistered transactions in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
