The lambda value is the air fuel ratio relative to the "chemically correct ratio" required for a catalytic converter to function correctly. Basically, the closer to 1 it is, the closer the mixture is to the ideal value.

It just means it was running slightly lean during the test. If the emissions are OK I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
