Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This guidance requires a public entity to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires all entities to disclose annually income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and this guidance should be applied prospectively but there is the option to apply it retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2026.

Table of Contents

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This guidance requires a public entity to disclose for each reportable segment, on an interim and annual basis, the significant expense categories and amounts that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the individual or the name of the group or committee identified as the CODM. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the guidance should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025.

3. Investments and Acquisitions

Bodytrak Investment

On October 18, 2021, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Inova Design Solutions Ltd, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and headquartered in the United Kingdom, doing business as Bodytrak^® (“Bodytrak”), and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which Bodytrak agreed to issue and sell to the Company 508,905 cumulative convertible series A shares of Bodytrak (“Series A Shares”) in exchange for a payment by the Company of £2,000,000 ($2.8 million). The closing of this minority investment transaction occurred on October 18, 2021. The Series A Shares issued to the Company at the closing represented approximately 11.43% of Bodytrak’s total share capital.

On April 28, 2022, the Company, under the terms of the Investment Agreement, acquired an additional 381,679 Series A1 Shares of Bodytrak for £1,500,000 ($1.9 million). On October 26, 2022, the Company acquired an additional 254,452 Series A Shares of Bodytrak for £1,000,000 ($1.2 million). After completion of the additional investments, the Company owns 22.5% of Bodytrak’s total share capital. The investment in Bodytrak is accounted for under the equity method, given our board representation and the resulting ability to exercise significant influence. A substantial portion of our investment represents differences in our investment and our share of the underlying recognized net assets of Bodytrak. These differences are predominately attributable to non-amortizing intangible assets, including internally developed intellectual property, of Bodytrak.

On May 19, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Bodytrak to provide an additional investment of up to an aggregate of £1,500,000 ($1.9 million on the date of initial investment) in the form of a secured convertible loan with an option for an additional £1,000,000 investment at the Company’s discretion. An initial investment funding of £500,000 ($0.6 million on the date of investment) was made on May 19, 2023. Additional investment fundings of £700,000 ($0.9 million on the date of investment), £500,000 ($0.6 million on the date of investment) and £500,000 ($0.6 million on the date of investment) were made on September 8, 2023, December 15, 2023 and February 13, 2024, respectively. The loaned amounts are due twenty-four months from the issue date, which can be extended upon mutual agreement. The convertible note bears interest at either an annual rate of 12% for cash interest or 15% for payment in kind interest on the outstanding amount under the note, such rate being selected by Bodytrak.

The notes can be converted into equity shares of Bodytrak under a number of conditions, including a qualified equity financing as defined in the agreement, a change of control, an IPO, default or conversion at the discretion of the Company and upon the occurrence of the specified event. The convertible note is secured by Bodytrak’s intellectual property.

The loss is reflected in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Acquisition of LHD

On July 1, 2024, the Company acquired the fire and rescue business of LHD Group Deutschland GmbH and its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Australia (collectively, "LHD") in an all-cash transaction subject to post-closing adjustments and customary holdback provisions. Total consideration was $15.9 million, net of $1.5 million cash acquired, of which $15.5 million was paid to retire LHD’s debt, $0.8 million was paid to the seller at closing, and $1.1 million remained unpaid subject to post-closing adjustments and customary holdback provisions. LHD is a leading provider of firefighter turnout gear, accessories, and personal protective equipment cleaning, repair, and maintenance. LHD has 111 employees worldwide and is headquartered in Wesseling, Germany, with operations in Hong Kong and Australia.

LHD’s operating results are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The acquisition qualified as a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. LHD’s operating results and assets including acquired intangibles and goodwill will be reported as part of Europe in our geographic segment reporting.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the LHD assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:

Net working capital acquired	$	5,594
Property, plant and equipment		801
Customer relationships		5,237
Trade names and trademarks		1,296
Technological know-how		270
Other		(76	)
Goodwill		5,441
Other liabilities assumed		(2,615	)
Total net assets acquired	$	15,948

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition were recorded at estimated fair values. Estimated fair values were determined by management, based in part on an independent valuation performed by a third-party valuation specialist. The valuation methods used to determine the estimated fair value of intangible assets included the excess earnings approach for customer relationships using customer inputs and contributory charges; the relief from royalty method for trade names and trademarks and technological know-how; and the cost method for the assembled workforce was included in goodwill. Several significant assumptions and estimates were involved in the application of these valuation methods, including forecasted sales volumes and prices, royalty rates, costs to produce, tax rates, capital spending, discount rates, attrition rates and working capital changes. Cash flow forecasts were generally based on LHD’s pre-acquisition forecasts. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are subject to amortization over their estimated useful lives. The customer relationships, trade names and trademarks and technological know-how acquired in the LHD transaction are being amortized over periods of 20 years, 10 years and 15 years, respectively.

Table of Contents

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired were the acquisition of an assembled workforce, the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of LHD with our operations.

Due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition, the purchase price and related allocation are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, additional information obtained regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and revisions of provisional estimates of fair values, including, but not limited to, the completion of independent appraisals, inventory, contractual relationships, tangible assets and intangible assets. These changes to the purchase price allocation could be significant. The purchase price allocation will be finalized within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date.

Acquisition of Pacific

On November 30, 2023 the Company acquired New Zealand-based Pacific Helmets NZ Limited (“Pacific”) in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately NZ$14,000,000 ($8.6 million at the closing date exchange rate) including assumption of debt, subject to post-closing adjustments and customary holdback provisions. The acquisition enhances Lakeland’s product portfolio, particularly within fire service protective helmets. Headquartered in Whanganui, New Zealand, Pacific is a leading designer and provider of structural firefighting, wildland firefighting, and technical rescue helmets. The transaction was funded through the revolving credit facility and cash balances.

Pacific’s operating results are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The acquisition qualified as a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

As part of the acquisition agreement, Pacific will pay from the holdback an amount equal to the amount by which Pacific’s revenue fell below NZ$11.1 million for Pacific’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 subject to certain conditions. The amount of the reduction to the holdback to be paid by Pacific is $0.3 million.

Due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition, the purchase price and related allocation are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, additional information obtained regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and revisions of provisional estimates of fair values, including, but not limited to, the completion of independent appraisals, contractual relationships, tangible assets and intangible assets. These changes to the purchase price allocation could be significant. The purchase price allocation will be finalized within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date.

7. Long-Term Debt

Revolving Credit Facility

On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America (the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provided the Company with a secured $25.0 million revolving credit facility, which included a $5.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Company could request from time to time an increase in the revolving credit loan commitment of up to $5.0 million (for a total commitment of up to $30.0 million). Borrowing pursuant to the revolving credit facility was subject to a borrowing base amount calculated as (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined, plus (b) 50% of the value of acceptable inventory, as defined, minus (c) certain reserves as the Lender may establish for the amount of estimated exposure, as reasonably determined by the Lender from time to time, under certain interest rate swap contracts. The borrowing base limitation only applied during periods when the Company’s quarterly funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined, exceeded 2.00 to 1.00. The Loan Agreement permitted, without the prior consent of the Lender, acquisitions of a business or its assets by the Company or its subsidiaries if there was no default under the Loan Agreement and the aggregate consideration did not exceed $7.5 million for any individual acquisition or $15.0 million on a cumulative basis for all such acquisitions. On March 3, 2023, the Company changed the benchmark interest rate in the credit facility from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The credit facility was to mature on June 25, 2025.

On November 30, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Loan Agreement by and between the Lender and the Company (the “Third Amendment”). Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Lender consented to the Company’s acquisition of one hundred percent (100%) of the equity interests of Pacific. The Third Amendment further provided for certain amendments to the Loan Agreement to permit additional indebtedness to be made available to Pacific, to exempt Pacific from certain requirements of the Loan Agreement pertaining to subsidiary guaranty and asset pledges that would otherwise be required under the Loan Agreement and to waive the Company’s borrowing base limitations through January 31, 2024. The Third Amendment also provided for the reaffirmation of representations, warranties and covenants under the Loan Agreement as are customary in connection with similar amendments of credit documents.

Table of Contents

On March 28, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Loan Agreement by and between the Lender and the Company (the “Fourth Amendment”). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the Lender and the Company agreed to, among other things, (i) extend the expiration date of the credit facility to March 28, 2029, (ii) increase the availability under the revolving credit facility to $40.0 million with an accordion feature providing for the potential funding of an additional $10.0 million, (iii) remove the borrowing base component of the credit facility; and (iv) modify the interest rate based on Daily SOFR plus the Applicable Rate. The Applicable Rate is based upon a Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio and includes four (4) different levels constituting a SOFR margin range from 1.25% to 2.00%. In addition, the Fourth Amendment (i) modified the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio covenant so as not to exceed 3.5x (with step-downs to 3.25 and 3.0 in 2025 and 2026), (ii) modified the Basic Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant to a minimum of 1.20x, (iii) includes a springing Asset Coverage Ratio covenant of at least 1.10x, but only to the extent that the maximum Total Leverage Ratio exceeds 3.00x at any reporting period, (iv) increases the sublimit for letters of credit to $10.0 million, and (v) imposes a floor to Daily SOFR of one percent (1.00%). The Fourth Amendment provides for additional indebtedness or the assumption of existing indebtedness for acquisitions of foreign subsidiaries (not to exceed $10.0 million in USD) and increased the size of Permitted Acquisitions, without prior approval from the Lender, to $17.5 million per occurrence and $35.0 million in the aggregate. We were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Loan Agreement as of July 31, 2024.

As of July 31, 2024, the Company had no borrowings outstanding on the letter of credit sub-facility and borrowings of $25.3 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Pacific Borrowings

Pacific has two facilities with the Bank of New Zealand. Pacific has a trade finance facility where the lender finances vendor purchases. The trade finance facility has a limit of 500,000 New Zealand dollars and caries an interest rate at the prevailing base rate for the relevant currency of the vendor plus a margin of 3.00% per annum. The facility includes two term loans. The first term loan of 1,500,000 New Zealand dollars matures on December 17, 2025, carries an interest rate of 2.3% per annum and requires monthly payments of 19,350 New Zealand dollars. The second term loan of 550,000 New Zealand dollars matures on November 18, 2024, carries an interest rate of 3.5% per annum and requires monthly payments of 10,005 New Zealand dollars. The facilities expire in August 2026 and are secured by a security interest in Pacific’s real property. Borrowings under the trade finance facility and amounts due in FY25 under the term loans are reported as short-term borrowings. There were no borrowings under this facility at July 31, 2024 and $0.3 million at January 31, 2024. Borrowings under the term loans due after FY25 are reported as long-term borrowings and were $0.6 million and $0.7 million at July 31, 3024 and January 31, 2024, respectively.

Jolly Borrowings

On May 9, 2024, Jolly entered into a term loan agreement for 1,500,000 Euros to support working capital requirements with Banca Intesa Spa.

LHD Borrowings

Prior to the Company’s acquisition, LHD secured a federally guaranteed term loan of 800,000 Euros from Commerzbank AG under the “KfW Quick Loan 2020” program, launched by the German government in 2020 to support small and medium-sized enterprises affected by the COVID-19 crisis. The loan, which matures on June 30, 2030, began loan repayments on September 30, 2022, with quarterly installments of 25,000 Euros. As of July 31, 2024, the outstanding balance was 600,000 Euros ($650,000). The loan carries an interest rate of 3% per annum, with interest payments being due in arrears at the end of each quarter.

8. Concentration of Risk

Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and trade receivables. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across geographic areas principally within the United States. The Company routinely addresses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company does not require customers to post collateral.

The Company’s foreign financial depositories are Bank of America; China Construction Bank; Bank of China; China Industrial and Commercial Bank; HSBC (UK); Royal Bank of Scotland, Rural Credit Cooperative of Shandong; Postal Savings Bank of China; Punjab National Bank; HSBC in India, Argentina and UK; Raymond James in Argentina; TD Canada Trust; Banco Itaú S.A., Banco Credito Inversione in Chile; Banco Mercantil Del Norte SA in Mexico; ZAO KB Citibank Moscow in Russia; JSC Bank Centercredit in Kazakhstan; BNL Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, Monte Dei Paschi di Siena and Banca delle Terre Venete in Italy; Commerzbank in Germany; and Bank of New Zealand in New Zealand. The Company monitors its financial depositories by their credit rating, which varies by country. In addition, cash balances in banks in the United States of America are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations. There was approximately $0.5 million total included in U.S. bank accounts and approximately $24.3 million total in foreign bank accounts as of July 31, 2024, of which $24.1 million was uninsured.

Major Customer

No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the three and six-month periods ended July 31, 2024 and 2023.

Major Supplier

No vendor accounted for more than 10% of purchases during the three and six-month periods ended July 31, 2024 and 2023.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

On June 21, 2017, the stockholders of the Company approved the Lakeland Industries, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The executive officers and all other employees and directors of the Company, including its subsidiaries, are eligible to participate in the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), except that with respect to all non-employee directors, the 2017 Plan is administered by the full Board. The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of equity-based compensation in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, or stock appreciation rights (“SARs”).

On June 16, 2021, the stockholders of the Company approved Amendment No. 1 ( “Amendment No. 1”) to the 2017 Plan. Amendment No. 1 increased the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan from 360,000 to 840,000 shares.

On June 13, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the 2017 Plan. Amendment No. 2 increased the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan from 840,000 to 1,240,000 shares.

An aggregate of 1,240,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan, as amended, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2017 Plan for stock splits, dividends, distributions, recapitalizations and other similar transactions or events. If any shares subject to an award are forfeited, expire, lapse or otherwise terminate without issuance of such shares, such shares shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, lapse or termination, again be available for issuance under the 2017 Plan.

The Company recognized total stock-based compensation costs, which are reflected in operating expenses (in $000’s):

	Three Months Ended July 31,				Six Months Ended July 31,

Outstanding at July 31, 2023		89,119			93,362			182,481		$	19.49

The actual number of shares of common stock of the Company, if any, to be earned by the award recipients is determined over a three year performance measurement period based on measures that include revenue growth and Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) margin for the April 2022 grants. Performance measures for the March 2023 grants are revenue growth, EBITDA margin and return on invested capital. Performance measures for the April 2024 grants are revenue growth, EBITDA margin and free cash flow margin. The performance targets have been set for each of the Minimum, Target, and Maximum levels. The actual performance amount achieved is determined by the Committee and may be adjusted for items determined to be unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence, at the discretion of the Committee.

The compensation cost is based on the fair value at the grant date, is recognized over the requisite performance/service period using the straight-line method, and is periodically adjusted for the probable number of shares to be awarded. As of July 31, 2024, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense totaled $3.0 million pursuant to the 2017 Plan based on outstanding awards under the 2017 Plan. This expense is expected to be recognized over approximately two years.

Stock Repurchase Program

On February 17, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $5 million of its outstanding common stock. On July 6, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company’s stock repurchase program of up to an additional $5 million of its outstanding common stock. On April 7, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $5 million of its outstanding common stock, which became effective upon the completion of the prior share repurchase program. On December 1, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company’s stock repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to an additional $5 million of its outstanding common stock.

10. Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended July 31, 2024, and 2023 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, in addition to discrete items.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of FY25 was 23.4%, which differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to rate differentials in foreign tax jurisdictions and Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), and the impacts from stock compensation vestings during the quarter, partially offset by foreign withholding taxes accrued during the quarter in anticipation of additional repatriations of cash from China. The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter of FY24 was 32.7% which differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to rate differentials in foreign tax jurisdictions and GILTI.

The Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended July 31, 2024 was (13.1%), which differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to rate differentials in foreign tax jurisdictions and GILTI and impacts from the final earn-out adjustments related to the Pacific and Eagle acquisitions. The Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended July 31, 2023 was 31.5%, which differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to rate differentials in foreign tax jurisdictions and GILTI.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. The valuation allowance was $7.6 million and $6.7 million as of July 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, respectively.

With the exception of our UK and China subsidiaries for which we accrue relevant deferred tax impacts related to non-indefinitely reinvested cash, we consider the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis (including undistributed and previously taxed earnings) of investments in our other foreign subsidiaries as of July 31, 2024 to be indefinitely reinvested in the foreign jurisdictions on the basis of our specific plan for reinvestment and estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs. Therefore, we have not provided for deferred taxes related to such excess or the relevant portions thereof and disclosed that the determination of any deferred taxes related to this excess is not practicable in those permanently reinvested jurisdictions. We have made no changes to our policy on indefinite reinvestment during the six months ended July 31, 2024.

12. Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, which inherently involve an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been or is probable of being incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

During the third quarter of FY24, the Company sent a letter to the landlord outlining certain structural defects on the newly constructed facility in Monterrey, Mexico that would inhibit the Company from effectively utilizing the facility for its intended purpose. The Company has initiated discussions with the landlord as to potential remedies which may inform our decision-making process with respect to this property. Changes in our long-term intended use for the building may impact the carrying value of the currently recorded right of use asset.

General litigation contingencies

The Company is involved in various litigation proceedings arising during the normal course of business which, in the opinion of the management of the Company, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters. As of July 31, 2024, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, there were no significant outstanding claims or litigation.

13. Segment Reporting

We manage our operations by evaluating each of our geographic locations. Our US operations include a facility in Alabama (primarily the distribution to customers of the bulk of our products and the light manufacturing of our chemical, wovens, reflective, and fire products). The Company also maintains one manufacturing company in China (primarily disposable and chemical suit production), a manufacturing facility in Mexico (primarily disposable, reflective, fire and chemical suit production), a manufacturing facility in Vietnam (primarily disposable production), a manufacturing facility in Argentina (primarily wovens), a manufacturing facility in New Zealand (helmets), a manufacturing facility in Romania (boots) and a small manufacturing facility in India. Our China facilities produce the majority of the Company’s products, and China generates a significant portion of the Company’s international revenues. We evaluate the performance of these entities based on operating profit, which is defined as income before income taxes, interest expense and other income and expenses. We have sales forces in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Latin America, India, Russia, Kazakhstan, Australia, New Zealand and China, which sell and distribute products shipped from the United States, Mexico, India or China.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q or in any other presentation, statements which are not historical in nature, including the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “project”, “plan,” “seek,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “would,” “could” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. They also include statements containing a projection of sales, earnings or losses, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure or other financial terms.

The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are based upon our management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future operations and economic performance, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to us that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition we express or imply in any forward-looking statements. Some of the important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to differ materially from expectations are:

	·	we are subject to risk as a result of our international manufacturing operations and are subject to the risk of doing business in foreign countries, particularly in China and Vietnam, which could affect our ability to manufacture or sell our products, obtain products from foreign suppliers or control the costs of our products;
	·	a terrorist attack, other geopolitical crisis, or widespread outbreak of an illness or other health issue, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could negatively impact our domestic and/or international operations;
	·	our results of operations could be negatively affected by potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
	·	we have manufacturing and other operations in China which may be adversely affected by tariff wars and other trade maneuvers;
	·	our results of operations may vary widely from quarter to quarter;
	·	disruption in our supply chain, manufacturing or distribution operations could adversely affect our business;
	·	climate change and other sustainability matters may adversely affect our business and operations;
	·	some of our sales are to foreign buyers, which exposes us to additional risks;
	·	we deal in countries where corruption is an obstacle;
	·	we are exposed to U.S. and foreign tax risks;
	·	because we do not have long-term commitments from many of our customers, we must estimate customer demand, and errors in our estimates could negatively impact our inventory levels and net sales;
	·	we face competition from other companies, a number of which have substantially greater resources than we do;
	·	our operations are substantially dependent upon key personnel;
	·	cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information and adversely impact our reputation and results of operations;
	·	we may be subject to product liability claims, and insurance coverage could be inadequate or unavailable to cover these claims;
	·	environmental laws and regulations may subject us to significant liabilities;
	·	provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws and Delaware law could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest difficult;
	·	we may not achieve the expected benefits from strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures, capital investments and other corporate transactions that we have pursued or may pursue;
	·	we may need additional funds, and if we are unable to obtain these funds, we may not be able to expand or operate our business as planned;
	·	adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations;
	·	rapid technological change could negatively affect sales of our products, inventory levels and our performance; and
	·	the other factors referenced in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the factors described under “Risk Factors” disclosed in our fiscal 2024 Form 10-K.

We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this Form 10-Q might not occur. We qualify any and all of our forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors.

Business Overview

We manufacture and sell a comprehensive line of industrial protective clothing and accessories for the industrial and public protective clothing market. Our products are sold globally by our in-house sales teams, our customer service group, and authorized independent sales representatives to a network of over 2,000 global safety and industrial supply distributors. Our authorized distributors supply end users, such as integrated oil, chemical/petrochemical, automobile, transportation, steel, glass, construction, smelting, cleanroom, janitorial, pharmaceutical, and high technology electronics manufacturers, as well as scientific, medical laboratories and the utilities industry. In addition, we supply federal, state and local governmental agencies and departments, such as fire and law enforcement, airport crash rescue units, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and the Centers for Disease Control. Internationally, we sell to a mixture of end users directly and to industrial distributors, depending on the particular country and market. In addition to the United States, sales are made into more than 50 foreign countries, the majority of which were into China, the European Economic Community ("EEC"), Canada, Chile, Argentina, Russia, Kazakhstan, Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, India, Uruguay, Middle East, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, Australia and Hong Kong.

The Company’s strong market position across its focus product categories and markets is supported by continued and increasing investment in its global footprint, particularly owning and operating its own manufacturing facilities, acquiring complementary companies or products that expand and enhance product offerings and/or geographic customer territories, and investing in sales and marketing resources in countries around the world. We believe that ownership of manufacturing is the keystone to building a resilient supply chain and providing high-quality products to our customers. Having seven manufacturing locations in seven countries on five continents, coupled with sourcing core raw materials from multiple suppliers in various countries, affords Lakeland with superior manufacturing capabilities and supply chain resilience when compared to our competitors who use contractors. Additionally, our focus on providing customers with best-in-class service includes the strategic location of our sales team members. Lakeland has 95 sales employees located in 24 countries selling into more than 50 countries globally.

On February 5, 2024, the Company acquired Italy and Romania-based Jolly Scarpe S.p.A. and Jolly Scarpe Romania S.R.L. (collectively, "Jolly") in an all-cash transaction. Total consideration was $9.6 million, of which $7.5 million was paid to the seller at closing, $0.6 million paid to retire the remainder of Jolly’s debt and $1.5 million remained unpaid subject to post-closing adjustments and customary holdback provisions. Jolly is a leading designer and manufacturer of professional footwear for the firefighting, military, police, and rescue markets. The company is headquartered in Montebelluna, Italy, with manufacturing operations in Bucharest, Romania, and has 150 employees. Jolly’s primary customers are based in Europe.

On November 30, 2023 the Company acquired New Zealand-based Pacific Helmets NZ Limited (“Pacific”) in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately NZ$14,000,000 ($8.6 million) including assumption of debt, subject to post-closing adjustments and customary holdback provisions. The acquisition enhances Lakeland’s product portfolio, particularly within fire service protective helmets. Headquartered in Whanganui, New Zealand, Pacific is a leading designer and provider of structural firefighting, wildland firefighting, and technical rescue helmets.

Our net sales attributable to customers outside the United States were $26.2 million and $17.9 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $48.2 million and $34.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We are continually monitoring the potential financial impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on our operations. For the first half of FY25, sales in Russia were approximately 2.8% of our consolidated sales and sales into Ukraine were not significant. We do not have any capital assets in Russia.

Results of Operations

Three Months ended July 31, 2024, Compared to the Three Months Ended July 31, 2023

Net Sales. Net sales were $38.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024, an increase of $5.4 million or 16.3% compared to $33.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023. Sales of our Fire Services product line increased $3.0 million due to $5.8 million in sales from LHD, acquired in July 2024, Jolly, acquired in February 2024 and Pacific, acquired in November 2023, and growth in the product line offset by a $2.6 million reduction in sales from Eagle due to a large order delivery in the prior year. We also saw strength in the Woven product line with an increase of $3.1 million, primarily in the Latin America market. These improvements were offset by a slight decline in industrial sales.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2024 was $15.2 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 7.0%, compared to $14.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 39.6% for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, from 42.9% for the three months ended July 31, 2023. Gross profit performance declined in the three months ended July 31, 2024 due to increased manufacturing costs, in-bound freight expense, increase in deferred profit in ending inventory and amortization of the step up in basis of acquired inventory, partially offset by a favorable sales mix.

Operating Expense. Operating expenses increased by $6.4 million, or 61.5%, from $10.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023 to $16.8 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024. This increase is attributable to the acquisition of LHD, Jolly and Pacific which increased operating expenses by $2.4 million. In addition, the Company incurred transaction expenses of $0.7 million, restructuring costs of $0.7 million, $0.5 million of foreign currency losses from the continued devaluation of the Argentine peso, equity compensation of $0.4 million, ongoing PFAS litigation costs of $0.2 million and $0.2 million of costs associated with the Monterrey facility. The remaining increase was related to additional selling expenses including travel and trade shows, professional fees and administrative expenses of $0.8 million. During the quarter ended July 31, 2023, the Company evaluated the earnout consideration accrual related to the Eagle acquisition and reduced the accrual by $0.7 million, which was recorded as a reduction in operating expense. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was 43.6% for the three months ended July 31, 2024, up from 31.6% for the three months ended July 31, 2023, primarily due to the factors noted above.

Operating Profit. Operating loss was $(1.6) million for the three months ended July 31, 2024 compared to operating profit of $3.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023, due to the impacts detailed above. Operating margins were (4.2%) for the three months ended July 31, 2024, as compared to 11.2% for the three months ended July 31, 2023.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. Income tax benefit was $0.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024, compared to an expense of $1.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023. The reduction in tax expense between the two periods is primarily a result of the decrease in pre-tax income. The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter of FY25 was 23.4% which differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to rate differentials in foreign tax jurisdictions, GILTI, and the impacts from stock compensation vestings during the quarter, partially offset by foreign withholding taxes accrued during the quarter in anticipation of additional repatriations of cash from China. The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter of FY24 was 32.7%, which differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to rate differentials in foreign tax jurisdictions and GILTI.

Net Income (Loss). Net loss was $(1.4) million for the three months ended July 31, 2024, compared to net income of $2.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023.

Six Months ended July 31, 2024, Compared to the Six Months Ended July 31, 2023

Net Sales. Net sales were $74.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024 as compared to $61.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023, an increase of 21.0%. Our fire service product line increased by $8.0 million in the period due to the impact of the acquisitions of LHD, Jolly and Pacific which contributed $9.6 million in sales coupled with organic growth of $1.1 million, offset by a $2.6 million reduction in sales from Eagle due to a large order delivery in the prior year. Sales of our woven product line increased $4.2 million due to strength in the Latin America market, primarily from Argentina. Our remaining product lines delivered modest growth of $0.8 million.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $31.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024, an increase of $4.8 million, or 18.0%, from $26.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 42.0% for the six months ended July 31, 2024, from 43.1% for the six months ended July 31, 2023 due to increased manufacturing costs, in-bound freight expense, increase in deferred profit in ending inventory and amortization of the step up in basis of acquired inventory partially offset by a favorable sales mix.

Operating Expense. Operating expenses increased $9.8 million, or 46.7%, to $30.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024 from $21.0 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023. The acquisitions of LHD, Jolly and Pacific accounted for $3.7 million of the increase in operating expenses. The Company incurred $1.7 million in acquisition costs associated with these acquisitions. In addition, the Company incurred ongoing PFAS litigation costs of $0.4 million and $0.5 million of costs associated with the Monterrey facility. The impact of the adjustment to the earnout consideration accrual related to the Eagle acquisition was a reduction to operating expenses of $0.7 million for the 6 months ended July 31, 2024 compared to a reduction of $1.2 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023, which was recorded as a reduction in operating expense. The remaining increase was related to additional selling expenses including travel and trade shows, professional fees and administrative expenses of $3.1 million. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was 41.1% for the six months ended July 31, 2024, up from 33.9% for the six months ended July 31, 2023.

Operating Profit. Operating profit decreased to $0.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024 from $5.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023, due to the impacts detailed above. Operating margins were 0.8% for the six months ended July 31, 2024, as compared to 9.2% for the six months ended July 31, 2023.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. Income tax benefit was less than $0.1 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024, compared to an expense of $1.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023.

In Q2 FY23, the Company changed its permanent reinvestment assertions for its Chinese operations due to increased volatility of the Chinese yuan and geopolitical uncertainties. The Company recorded $2 million in withholding taxes for a planned repatriation during FY23. In Q1 FY23, the Company recorded deferred tax benefits of $0.2 million related to accruals for China social taxes. Excluding these discrete items the Company’s effective rate was (13.1%) and 31.5% for the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net Income (Loss). Net income decreased by $3.5 million to $0.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024 from $3.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At July 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $24.9 million, and working capital was approximately $98.2 million. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $0.3 million, and working capital increased $15.0 million from January 31, 2024 due to the balance sheet fluctuations described above and the acquisition of LHD, Pacific and Jolly.

Of the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents of $24.9 million as of July 31, 2024, cash held in Latin America of $2.4 million, cash held in the UK of $1.7 million, cash held in Russia and Kazakhstan of $1.5 million, cash held in the EEC of $6.3 million, cash held in India of $0.5 million, cash held in Vietnam of $0.2 million, and cash held in Hong Kong of $0.3 million would not be subject to additional US tax in the event such cash was repatriated due to the change in the US tax law as a result of the December 22, 2017 enactment of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). When the Company repatriates cash from China, of the $7.4 million balance at July 31, 2024, there could be an additional 10% withholding tax incurred in that country. The Company expects to repatriate cash from China during the third quarter of FY 25 and in anticipation of doing so, has accrued withholding tax expense of $0.5 million as of July 31, 2024.

Table of Contents

Cash used in operations was $4.1 million due to net income of $0.5 million, non-cash charges of $1.4 million, increases in working capital of $6.0 million, primarily due to a build in inventory in preparation for forecasted increase in sales in the second half of the year. Net cash used in investing activities was $24.4 million which included the acquisition of LHD and Jolly which required net cash of $22.9 million and a further investment in Bodytrak’s convertible debt instruments of $0.6 million. Capital expenditures were $0.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024, primarily for manufacturing equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities was $27.0 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024, due to $28.3 million borrowed to fund the LHD and Jolly acquisitions offset by dividends of $0.4 million, term loan borrowings of $2.9 million to support Jolly operations, repayment of term loan borrowings of $0.4 million and repayments of our revolving credit facility of $3.0 million and $0.3 million in shares returned to pay income taxes on shares vested under our equity compensation program.

We believe our current cash, cash equivalents, borrowing capacity under our Loan Agreement, and the cash to be generated from expected product sales will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and investing requirements (including planned capital expenditures) for at least the next twelve months. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and we could utilize our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect.

On March 28, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Loan Agreement by and between the Lender and the Company (the “Fourth Amendment”). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the Lender and the Company agreed to, among other things, (i) extend the expiration date of the credit facility to March 28, 2029, (ii) increase the availability under the revolving credit facility to $40.0 million with an accordion feature providing for the potential funding of an additional $10.0 million, (iii) remove the borrowing base component of the credit facility, and (iv) modify the interest rate based on Daily SOFR plus the Applicable Rate. The Applicable Rate is based upon a Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio and includes four (4) different levels constituting a SOFR margin range from 1.25% to 2.00%. In addition, the Fourth Amendment (i) modified the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio covenant so as not to exceed 3.5x (with step-downs to 3.25 and 3.0 in 2025 and 2026), (ii) modified the Basic Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant to a minimum of 1.20x, (iii) includes a springing Asset Coverage Ratio covenant of at least 1.10x, but only to the extent that the maximum Total Leverage Ratio exceeds 3.00x at any reporting period, (iv) increases the sublimit for letters of credit to $10.0 million, and (v) imposes a floor to Daily SOFR of one percent (1.00%). The Fourth Amendment provides for additional indebtedness or the assumption of existing indebtedness for acquisitions of foreign subsidiaries (not to exceed $10.0 million in USD) and increased the size of Permitted Acquisitions, without prior approval from the Lender, to $17.5 million per occurrence and $35.0 million in the aggregate. We were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Loan Agreement as of July 31, 2024.

Stock Repurchase Program. On February 17, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $5 million of its outstanding common stock. On July 6, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company’s stock repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to an additional $5 million of its outstanding common stock. On April 7, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $5 million of its outstanding common stock, which became effective upon the completion of the prior share repurchase program. On December 1, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company’s stock repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to an additional $5 million of its outstanding common stock.

No shares were repurchased in the six months ended July 31, 2024 leaving $5.0 million remaining under the share repurchase program at July 31, 2024. The share repurchase program has no expiration date but may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time.

Quarterly Cash Dividend. On May 1, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend. The quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share was paid on May 22, 2024, to stockholders of record as of May 15, 2024.

Capital Expenditures. Our capital expenditures for the six months ended July 31, 2024 of $0.8 million principally relate to capital purchases for replacement of manufacturing equipment. We anticipate FY25 capital expenditures to be approximately $3.0 million as we invest in strategic capacity expansion and replace existing equipment in the normal course of operations. We expect to fund the capital expenditures from our cash flow from operations. The Company may also expend funds in connection with potential acquisitions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our fiscal year 2024 Form 10-K. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical, as these policies are the most important to the depiction of our financial statements and require significant, difficult, or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Such policies are summarized in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in our 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in the application of our critical accounting policies during the six months ended July 31, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item, and therefore, no disclosure is required under Item 3 for the Company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On February 17, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $5 million of its outstanding common stock. On July 6, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company’s then-current stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to an additional $5 million of its outstanding common stock (the “Prior Share Repurchase Program”). On April 7, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $5 million of its outstanding common stock (the “New Share Repurchase Program”). The New Share Repurchase Program became effective upon the completion of the Prior Share Repurchase Program. The New Share Repurchase Program has no expiration date but may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. On December 1, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the New Share Repurchase Program under which the Company may repurchase up to an additional $5 million of its outstanding common stock.

The common shares available for repurchase under the authorizations currently in effect may be purchased from time to time, with consideration given to the market price of the common shares, the nature of other investment opportunities, cash flows from operations, general economic conditions and other relevant considerations. Repurchases may be made on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

The following table sets forth purchases made by or on behalf of the Company or any “affiliated purchaser,” as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) of the Exchange Act, of shares of the Company’s common stock during the second quarter of fiscal 2025:

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition were recorded at estimated fair values. Estimated fair values were determined by management, based in part on an independent valuation performed by a third-party valuation specialist. The valuation methods used to determine the estimated fair value of intangible assets included the excess earnings approach for customer relationships using customer inputs and contributory charges; the relief from royalty method for trade names and trademarks and technological know-how; and the cost method for the assembled workforce was included in goodwill. Several significant assumptions and estimates were involved in the application of these valuation methods, including forecasted sales volumes and prices, royalty rates, costs to produce, tax rates, capital spending, discount rates, attrition rates and working capital changes. Cash flow forecasts were generally based on Jolly’s pre-acquisition forecasts. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are subject to amortization over their estimated useful lives. The customer relationships, trade names and trademarks and technological know-how acquired in the Jolly transaction are being amortized over periods of 14 years, 10 years and 10 years, respectively.

Due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition, the purchase price and related allocation are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, additional information obtained regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and revisions of provisional estimates of fair values, including, but not limited to, the completion of independent appraisals, contractual relationships, tangible assets and intangible assets. These changes to the purchase price allocation could be significant. The purchase price allocation will be finalized within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date.
