Caleres Reports First Quarter 2021 Results ● Exceeded first quarter 2019 earnings levels ● Drove sequential sales and operating earnings improvement ● Famous Footwear achieved first quarter record sales and operating earnings ● Paid down an additional $50 million of debt during the first quarter

ST. LOUIS, May 28, 2021 - Caleres (NYSE: CAL, caleres.com), a diverse portfolio of consumer-centric footwear brands, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended May 1, 2021. Caleres continued its strong recovery in the quarter just ended – recording sequential top-line and earnings growth, stronger gross margins and an improved working capital and expense position. For the fourth straight period, the company put its free cash flow to work strengthening its balance sheet and reducing further its overall indebtedness, paying down an additional $50 million during the quarter. In total, the company has reduced its total debt levels by approximately $240 million since March of 2020.

“Caleres had a strong start to the year, maintaining its solid upward momentum in the first quarter of 2021, driven in large part by an outstanding performance in our Famous Footwear business, where we achieved record quarterly earnings and delivered record first quarter sales levels,” said Diane Sullivan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Notably, Famous Footwear’s quarterly sales increased 13 percent over the first quarter of 2019, benefitting from strong demand for the category, increased consumer confidence and improving in-store traffic trends. Famous continues to leverage its enhanced omni- channel capabilities and capitalize on its direct-to-consumer model, as evidenced by a 13.2 percent increase in new rewards members– compared to the first quarter 2019 – and still-strong ecommerce sales levels.”

“We remain positive about our outlook and expect continued strength at Famous Footwear to be combined with an improving performance in our Brand Portfolio as we progress through the year,” said Sullivan. We are particularly enthusiastic about the recent strong performances from our Vionic, Sam Edelman, Blowfish Malibu and Ryka brands, and are increasingly optimistic about our ability to drive margin growth and return to 2019 earnings levels for the segment in the year’s second half.”

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document “Looking ahead, we plan to lean into the robust momentum at Famous Footwear and our enhanced direct-to-consumer capabilities; ensure alignment of supply and demand; and – as always – maintain our balanced approach to capital allocation. In short, we are excited about our strategy for continued value creation and believe we are exceptionally well positioned to capitalize on the accelerated recovery in the marketplace and to chase and capture market share opportunities as they develop throughout the year.”

First Quarter 2021 Highlights (13-weeks ended May 1, 2021 compared to 13-weeks ended May 2, 2020) ● Net sales were $638.6 million, up 60.8 percent from the first quarter of fiscal 2020 ‒ Direct-to-consumer sales represented 74.5 percent of total net sales; ‒ A 108.2 percent sales increase in the Famous Footwear segment; ‒ A 15.2 percent sales increase in the Brand Portfolio segment; ‒ Total company owned ecommerce website sales increased 21.4 percent, with ecommerce penetration of 25.6 percent of net sales; ● Gross profit asw $274.9 million, while gross margin was 43.0 percent; ● SG&A expense of $243.5 million, up $18.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2020; ● Net income of $6.1 million, or earnings of $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $345.8 million, or a loss of $8.95 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Earnings of $0.16 per share includes $0.44 for the below items: ‒ Brand Portfolio expense of $0.31 related to the Naturalizer brand retail exits; and ‒ Fair value adjustment of $0.13 associated with the mandatory purchase obligation for Blowfish Malibu; and ● Adjusted net income was $22.8 million, or adjusted earnings of $0.60 per diluted share compared to adjusted net loss of $50.4 million, or adjusted loss of $1.30 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020; ● Generated $70.4 million in cash from operations and ended the first quarter with $98.2 million of cash on hand; ● Reduced inventory levels approximately 24 percent year-over-year, reflecting the final liquidation of Naturalizer store inventory and global/industry-wide supply chain disruptions; ● Reduced credit facility borrowings by $50 million from the fourth quarter of 2020 to end the first quarter at $200 million; ● Returned $2.7 million to shareholders during the quarter through its long- standing quarterly dividend.

Quarterly Cash Dividend The company’s board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share to be paid on June 30, 2021 to shareholders of record as of June 11, 2021. This dividend will be the 393rd consecutive quarterly dividend paid by the company.
