Sales increase by 34.7% at Caleres
Net sales for the Caleres group in the second quarter reached 675.5 million US dollars, up by 34.7% from the second quarter of fiscal 2020
“The Caleres team continued to execute at a high level during the quarter, achieving another significant sequential increase in sales and delivering earnings well in excess of pre-pandemic levels. This exceptional performance was led by record-setting quarterly results at Famous Footwear, which in a single quarter delivered operating earnings that exceeded full year 2019. Driving these results, Famous Footwear achieved a more than 8% increase in revenue, a more than 100% increase in return on sales, and a 670-basis-point increase in gross margin to reach approximately 50% versus the same period of 2019. Complementing Famous Footwear’s outstanding performance, our Brand Portfolio surpassed its operating earnings for the same period of 2019, led by strong and improving earnings results from key leadership and emerging brands, including Vionic, Sam Edelman, Allen Edmonds and Blowfish Malibu", commented Diane Sullivan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
