Caleres delivered Q2 results that reflected a challenging retail environment with lower net sales and gross margin pressure, though the company maintained profitability and advanced strategic initiatives, including the acquisition of Stuart Weitzman.
Net sales declined 3.6% YoY to $658.5 million.
Net income was $6.7 million, with EPS of $0.20 and adjusted EPS of $0.35.
Gross margin declined 210 basis points to 43.4% due to tariffs and promotions.
Stuart Weitzman acquisition completed post-quarter to strengthen premium portfolio.
Caleres did not provide formal full-year guidance but anticipates margin pressure to continue in Q3 with some relief expected in Q4 due to mitigation strategies.
