Caleres Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

Key Terms

gross margin financial

Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.

basis points financial

Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.

comparable sales financial

"Comparable sales" are the total sales from stores or products that have been open for a certain period, usually the same time last year or last quarter. They help show whether a business is growing by comparing similar locations or products over time, much like checking if your favorite store's sales are going up compared to previous years.

direct-to-consumer financial

A direct-to-consumer (DTC) model is when a company sells its products or services straight to customers, skipping middlemen like retailers or wholesalers. For investors, DTC matters because it can mean higher profit margins, closer customer relationships and faster feedback—like a baker who sells directly from the shop instead of through a grocery chain—while also exposing the business to costs for marketing, customer support and logistics that affect growth and profitability.

asset-based revolving credit facility financial

A loan arrangement where a lender agrees to make funds available up to a set limit that a borrower can draw, repay, and draw again, with the amount available tied to the value of specific assets (like inventory, receivables, or equipment) pledged as collateral. It matters to investors because it provides flexible working capital while limiting risk exposure: the company can fund growth or cover shortfalls quickly, but borrowing capacity can shrink if asset values fall.

non-gaap financial measures financial

Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

effective tax rate financial

The effective tax rate is the percentage of a company's profits that it pays in taxes. It shows how much of its earnings go to taxes after all deductions and credits are considered. For investors, it indicates how much of the company's income is taken by taxes, impacting overall profitability and financial health.

Lead Brands & owned eCommerce up double digits. Stuart Weitzman integration progressing toward unlocking synergies.

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Caleres (NYSE: CAL), a market-leading portfolio of consumer-driven footwear brands, today reported financial results for the third quarter 2025.

Stuart Weitzman - Stuart Power Zip 75 Bootie

• Reported consolidated sales of $790.1 million, up 6.6% versus last year (up 0.4% excluding Stuart Weitzman)
  • Brand Portfolio sales increased 18.8% with $45.8 million in contribution from Stuart Weitzman;
  • Brand Portfolio organic sales increased 4.6% with Lead Brands, in total, up double digits, growth across all channels of our Brand Portfolio business and market share gain in women’s fashion footwear (+0.5%), excluding Stuart Weitzman;
  • Famous Footwear sales declined 2.2%, with comparable sales down 1.2%;
• Owned eCommerce sales across Famous Footwear and Brand Portfolio up double digits;
• GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.07, compared to last year’s earnings per diluted share of $1.19. Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.38, compared to last year’s adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.23; Adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding Stuart Weitzman of $0.67;
• Completed Stuart Weitzman acquisition in August for a preliminary purchase price of $108.9 million, net of cash acquired.

“Caleres delivered third quarter sales results that were ahead of our internal expectations, highlighted by organic sales growth in our Brand Portfolio segment, strong Lead Brands performance, sequential improvement in trends at Famous Footwear, and accelerated eCommerce momentum in both segments of our business,” said Jay Schmidt, president and chief executive officer. “With the recent addition of Stuart Weitzman, our Brand Portfolio now drives nearly half our sales and more than half our operating earnings. As we expected, we experienced pressure on our earnings from tariffs and near-term acquisition dilution, however, the fundamentals of our business are improving.”

“For the balance of the year, we will be working to transition the Stuart Weitzman business to Caleres systems and clean up aged and excess inventory as we hone our strategies for long-term growth and profitability of the brand. In fiscal 2026, we will begin to unlock synergistic cost savings,” said Schmidt. “Through this integration process, we are sharpening our operating structure to better leverage our scale and strengthen our ability to build and grow powerful brands and consumer experiences. We are confident that executing our strategic plans will result in improved financial performance and drive long-term value for our shareholders.”
