Caleres Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Results

Mar. 16, 2021

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 16, 2021--Caleres (NYSE: CAL) (caleres.com), diverse portfolio of consumer-driven footwear brands, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 30, 2021.

"I am proud of the Caleres team and the tremendous progress we have made on a wide range of strategic objectives during an unprecedented year that saw the pervasive impact of the pandemic and protracted economic lockdown," said Diane Sullivan, Chairman and CEO. "Among the highlights, we:

* Streamlined the organization and rightsized our expense base, resulting in $100 million in ongoing annualized expense savings; * Achieved a 40 percent increase in ecommerce sales via our rapidly growing owned websites; * Commenced the strategic closure of a portion of our brick-and-mortar portfolio to better align with the accelerated consumer shift toward digital; * Generated approximately $126 million in cash from operations; * Strengthened the balance sheet - restoring overall debt to below pre-pandemic levels by fiscal year-end and significantly reducing our working capital position; * Returned approximately $34 million to shareholders through our long-standing dividend and share repurchase program.

"We continued to execute at a very high level at Famous Footwear, which rebounded quickly following the extended store closures and capped off 2020 with a modest decline in fourth quarter sales and a significant increase in year-over-year earnings. For the Brand Portfolio, we have identified areas of opportunity that are expected to position this segment for improved performance including actions to ensure the optimal alignment of our product assortment and omnichannel capabilities to more closely reflect rapidly evolving consumer behaviors, preferences and priorities."

"While the pace of recovery is still uncertain, there are signs of stabilization in the marketplace," said, Sullivan. "We believe we are well-positioned to capitalize as the market rebounds and the world returns to a greater degree of normalcy. As we plan for future success, we will focus on maintaining our strong momentum at Famous Footwear; driving enhanced consumer alignment and improved performance in the Brand Portfolio; taking a careful and disciplined approach to cost control and capital spending; reducing debt levels still further; and returning excess cash to shareholders. In short, Caleres is a more agile and focused organization than it was at the start of 2020, with an even more vigorous commitment to connecting with our consumers and providing them with compelling and fresh product - across growing footwear categories - when, where and how they want to shop. We are confident that we can leverage our talented and dedicated workforce, strong operating platform, powerful portfolio and improved financial position to capitalize on the opportunities we see ahead in order to drive long-term value for our shareholders."
