Caleres Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Results
Provides Annual 2020 Guidance

ST. LOUIS, March 12, 2020 - Caleres (NYSE: CAL, caleres.com), a diverse portfolio of global footwear brands, today reported fourth quarter 2019 financial results.

“Despite a challenging footwear market that resulted in our earnings to be less than expected, Caleres made excellent progress on a range of value-creating strategic objectives during 2019,” said Diane Sullivan, CEO, president and chairman of Caleres. “These accomplishments include:

	•	Strengthening the connections with our consumers with a 23% year-over-year growth in our ecommerce-related direct to consumer business and the successful launch and execution of the Famous Footwear rewards program;
	•	Broadening the reach and power of our brands by strategically managing the portfolio to include our exclusive partnership with Veronica Beard and the relaunch of the legacy Zodiac brand while at the same time shifting away from DvF and Carlos Santana and repositioning Via Spiga; and
	•	Aggressively managing the variables within our control with a year-over-year reduction of capital expenditures and inventory levels and the implementation of further cost-containment initiatives that will carry into 2020.

“Furthermore, we generated $170.8 million of cash flow from operations and put that cash to good use by investing wisely in our businesses, returning approximately $45 million to shareholders through our share repurchase program and long-standing dividend and reducing the borrowing under our credit facility by $60 million.”

Coronavirus

Caleres is actively monitoring the Coronavirus, focusing first and foremost on the health and well-being of its global workforce. The executive management team is meeting regularly to rigorously evaluate the potential impact of the virus on the supply chain and broader consumer sentiment, and is taking prudent steps to protect the business and adjust its short term strategy in response to this dynamic health crisis.
