Caleres Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

Nov. 19, 2020

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 2020--Caleres (NYSE: CAL, caleres.com) a diverse portfolio of consumer-driven footwear brands, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended October 31, 2020. Caleres continued its steady progress - recording sequential top-line growth, a return to profitability, stronger gross margins and a further improved working capital position - despite the still uncertain economic environment. For the second straight quarter the company used free cash to markedly reduce its overall debt levels, paying down $50 million during the period and bringing total debt reduction since the end of the first quarter of 2020 to approximately $139 million.

"Caleres furthered its recovery during the third quarter delivering results significantly better than anticipated in nearly all major financial metrics," said Diane Sullivan, Chairman, president and chief executive officer. "At the same time, the team has continued to overcome the ongoing COVID-related pressures in an impressive manner, further advancing the company's key strategic objectives. During the quarter, we:

* Maintained rigorous cost discipline leading to an approximately $38 million decline in expenses year-over-year - attributable to improved store productivity and prior actions to align our resources with the current market environment; * Adjusted effectively to and capitalized on the extended back-to-school season achieving a strong sequential increase in sales at Famous Footwear; * Gained momentum in the Brand Portfolio with an approximately 45 percent sequential increase in sales - led by positive consumer reaction to our casual, sport and athletic-inspired assortment across the portfolio; and * Used free cash to further strengthen the balance sheet and reduce overall indebtedness, which is now approaching pre-COVID levels."

Third Quarter 2020 Highlights

(13-weeks ended October 31, 2020 compared to 13-weeks ended November 2, 2019)

* Net sales were $647.5 million, down 18.3 percent from the third quarter of fiscal 2019 Direct-to-consumer sales represented 71.4 percent of total net sales; A 12.3 percent sales decline in the Famous Footwear segment; A 25.6 percent sales decline in the Brand Portfolio segment; Total company owned ecommerce website sales increased 24.6 percent, with ecommerce penetration rising to 25.4 percent of net sales;

* Gross profit was $257.0 million, while gross margin was 39.7 percent; * SG&A expense of $236.9 million, down $38.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2019; * Net income of $14.4 million, or earnings of $0.38 per diluted share, compared to net income of $28.0 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Earnings of $0.38 per share includes $0.10 of adjustments related to the fair value adjustment to the Blowfish purchase obligation; * Adjusted net income was $18.2 million, or adjusted earnings of $0.48 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income of $31.6 million, or adjusted earnings of $0.78 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2019; * Generated $34.2 million in cash from operations and ended the third quarter with $124.3 million of cash on hand; * Reduced inventory levels approximately 21 percent year-over-year, reflecting ongoing actions taken to liquidate seasonal orders; * Reduced credit facility borrowings by $50 million from the second quarter of 2020 to end the third quarter at $300 million; * Returned $2.7 million to shareholders during the quarter through its long-standing quarterly dividend.

Strategic Realignment to Drive Digital Growth

In an effort to continue to improve future profitability and allow greater focus on high-growth, digital channels, the company has commenced a strategic realignment of the Naturalizer retail locations in the U.S. and Canada. In addition to the store closures, Caleres will right-size the back-office infrastructure to better align with the reduced store footprint, shift talent to amplify our digital presence, capture consumers where they want to shop and reallocate capital to further enhance our ecommerce platform and capabilities.

"Like the rest of the industry we have seen a structural shift in the shopping behavior of the consumer - a change that has been further accelerated by the global health crisis," said Sullivan. "With a larger percentage of Naturalizer's sales originating online, now is the opportune time to shed the legacy stores and evolve it to be more profitable. We are confident this step will better align the brand with the Naturalizer consumer of the future and position the brand for growth and further success."

The company plans to close approximately 133 Naturalizer stores by the end of fiscal year 2020. The company expects pre-tax charges in the fourth quarter of 2020 of between $20 million and $25 million. Once complete, Caleres expects an annual pre-tax benefit of between $10 million and $12 million.

"Caleres is adjusting rapidly to the current and evolving market environment and I am excited about the value-creating potential of the business going forward," said Sullivan. "The actions we have taken in recent months to fortify our financial position; leverage our digital investments to capitalize on shifting consumer behaviors; further align our merchandise mix to reflect ever-changing consumer desires; and right-size our cost structure and capital budget provide a strong and durable foundation upon which to build and grow. Moving forward, we plan to drive innovation in our brands, lean into our consumer insights, enhance our already significant digital capabilities still further, and continuously strengthen and hone our portfolio to expand greater cash generation and value creation in the future."
