Caleres Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

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

ST. LOUIS, December 9, 2025 - Caleres (NYSE: CAL), a market-leading portfolio of consumer-driven footwear brands, today reported financial results for the third quarter 2025. 

Reported consolidated sales of $790.1 million, up 6.6% versus last year (up 0.4% excluding Stuart Weitzman)
oBrand Portfolio sales increased 18.8% with $45.8 million in contribution from Stuart Weitzman;
oBrand 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;
oFamous 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.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Metrics

In this press release, the company’s financial results are provided both in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures and metrics. In particular, the company provides estimated and future gross profit, operating earnings, net earnings and earnings per diluted share, adjusted to exclude certain gains, charges and recoveries and the financial results of the acquired Stuart Weitzman business, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These results are included as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP because management believes these non-GAAP financial measures and metrics help identify underlying trends in the company’s business and provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the company’s core operating results. This measure and metric should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.
