- Reported Sales of $683.3 million, down 1.8% year-on-year;
- Famous Footwear sales increased 1.5% versus the second quarter of 2023 with a later than expected back- to-school season;
- Brand Portfolio sales declined 5.1% versus the second quarter of 2023 due to operational reporting challenges in connection with its SAP ERP implementation,and pockets of weak seasonal demand;
- Improved second quarter consolidated gross margin rate to 45.5 percent, up 30 basis points year-on-year;
- Reported $0.85 in earnings per share for the second quarter, below expectations;
- Generated second quarter EBITDA of $57.2 million;
- Announces restructuring actions that will result in $7.5 million in annualized SG&A savings and $2 million in SG&A savings in fiscal 2024;
- Lowers fiscal 2024 outlook of net sales to down low-single-digits percent versus previous guidance of flat to up 2 percent;
- Lowers fiscal 2024 outlook for earnings per diluted share to $3.94 - $4.09 versus prior guidance of $4.30 to $4.60 and provides guidance for adjusted earnings per diluted share of $4.00 to $4.15, which excludes $3 million in restructuring costs expected to occur in the third quarter.
“Caleres reported second quarter results that were below expectations. While our brands and products continue to resonate with consumers and we remain confident in our long-term vision, our second quarter results in both segments fell short of our potential. Our systems implementation led to lack of visibility that prevented us from delivering our expected results. We also experienced weak seasonal demand and back-to-school business came later than expected,” said Jay Schmidt, president and chief executive officer. “Despite the sales miss, our gross margin remained strong, driven by the Brand Portfolio. At the same time, Famous Footwear gained market share in the strategically important Kids category. Furthermore, back-to-school sales surged in August bringing the season in total in-line with our expectations.”
“We are confident in our ability to get back on track and have addressed the issues from the ERP implementation that temporarily impacted visibility. We are also accelerating certain restructuring actions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our teams. Looking ahead, we are confident in our ability to deliver earnings per share in line with our revised guidance,” said Schmidt. “Longer-term, we believe we are exceptionally well positioned to execute our strategic plan, invest to fuel our growth initiatives, and drive sustained value for our shareholders.”

In the near term, the company expects to continue to focus on reducing debt and still expects borrowings under its asset-based revolving credit facility will be less than $100 million by 2026. Caleres will continue to consider business performance and market conditions as it evaluates all opportunities for free cash flow as the year progresses, including share repurchases.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Metrics
