Allen Edmonds Vail Lug Sneaker

Reported consolidated sales of $658.5 million, down 3.6% versus the prior year;
- Brand Portfolio sales decreased 3.5%, with gains in women's fashion footwear market share and strong performance from Lead Brands in total, and approximately $10 million in tariff impact;
- Famous Footwear sales declined 4.9%, with comparable sales down 3.4% and meaningful improvement in July;
Reported gross margin of 43.4%, down 210-basis points year-over-year, reflecting tariff-related costs, selective promotions, and higher provision for inventory markdowns, partially offset by growth in higher-margin direct-to-consumer channels within Brand Portfolio;
Achieved structural cost savings targets expected to generate annualized savings of $15 million;
Reported $0.20 in earnings per diluted share and $0.35 in adjusted earnings per diluted share, both of which include a discrete tax benefit of $0.07;
Enhanced financial flexibility by entering into an amended credit agreement, which extended the maturity date of our asset-based revolving credit facility and increased the company's borrowing capacity;
Completed the acquisition of Stuart Weitzman shortly after quarter-end.

"While we did experience headwinds due to market uncertainty, we demonstrated the strength and resilience of our company this quarter. Sales trends improved sequentially in both segments of our business and we saw market share gains in women's fashion footwear and in shoe chains. We experienced strength in Lead Brands, our Brand Portfolio direct-to-consumer channels, and international. We also saw significant improvement in sales trends at Famous Footwear in July and continuing through August," said Jay Schmidt, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"As we look to address the changes in the operating environment, we completed our previously announced structural cost savings initiatives that will deliver annualized savings of $15 million and support a more efficient operating structure. Just after quarter-end, we completed the acquisition of Stuart Weitzman, adding a new Lead Brand to our portfolio that aligns with our strategic focus on premium, direct-to-consumer, and international business," said Schmidt. "Longer term, we will continue looking for ways to leverage our greatest capabilities across our portfolio, and we are confident in our ability to execute our strategic plan, invest to fuel our growth initiatives, and drive sustained value for our shareholders."

Second Quarter 2025 Results

(13-weeks ended August 2, 2025 compared to 13-weeks ended August 3, 2024)

Net sales were $658.5 million, down 3.6% from the second quarter of 2024;
- Famous Footwear segment net sales decreased 4.9%, with comparable sales down 3.4%;
- Brand Portfolio segment net sales declined 3.5%;
- Direct-to-consumer sales represented approximately 75% of total net sales;
Gross profit was $285.8 million, while gross margin was 43.4%, down 210 basis points versus last year;
- Famous Footwear segment gross margin of 43.7%, down 130 basis points versus last year;
- Brand Portfolio segment gross margin of 40.3%, down 240 basis points versus last year;
SG&A was $269.7 million, or 41.0% of net sales, up 170 basis points versus last year, reflecting deleverage on lower sales;
Net earnings of $6.7 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.20, and adjusted net earnings of $11.7 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.35, compared to net earnings of $30.0 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.85 in the second quarter of 2024;
Inventory was $693.3 million at quarter-end, up 4.9% compared to the second quarter of 2024;
Borrowings under the asset-based revolving credit facility were $387.5 million at quarter-end, up $241 million from the second quarter of 2024, reflecting pre-positioned cash for the Stuart Weitzman acquisition.

Capital Allocation Update

During the quarter, Caleres continued to invest in value-driving growth opportunities while at the same time returning cash to shareholders through our dividend. In June, Caleres entered into an amendment of its credit agreement, which extended the senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility to June 2030. The company's borrowing capacity under the agreement increased by $200 million to $700 million, and the agreement includes an accordion feature, which allows the company to request an increase in the size of the facility to $950 million in the aggregate. The expanded facility provides Caleres with enhanced liquidity and flexibility and further strengthens the balance sheet. Given the volatile and challenging environment, Caleres' capital allocation priorities are to continue to fund its dividend and to invest in our value-enhancing growth vectors. Longer term, we will balance investment priorities with debt reduction and returning capital to shareholders.

Fiscal 2025 Outlook

Given the uncertainty in the environment, the company will continue to suspend annual guidance. For the month of August, Famous Footwear same-store comparable sales were up 1% and Brand Portfolio sales excluding Stuart Weitzman were up low-single digits. We expect ongoing gross margin pressure in Brand Portfolio from tariffs for the balance of the year. We anticipate third quarter Brand Portfolio gross margin, excluding Stuart Weitzman, to be down similar to second quarter, with improvement in the fourth quarter as we realize more of the benefit from our mitigation strategies.

All references in this press release, outside of the condensed consolidated financial statements that follow, unless otherwise noted, related to net earnings attributable to Caleres, Inc. and diluted earnings per common share attributable to Caleres, Inc. shareholders, are presented as net earnings and earnings per diluted share, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Metrics

In this press release, the company's financial results are provided both in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures and metrics. In particular, the company provides earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and estimated and future operating earnings, net earnings and earnings per diluted share, adjusted to exclude certain gains, charges and recoveries, which are non-GAAP financial measures, and the debt to EBITDA leverage ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial metric. These results are included as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP because management believes these non-GAAP financial measures and metrics help identify underlying trends in the company's business and provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the company's core operating results. This measure and metric should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.
