CALERES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
iNote 1 Basis of Presentation and General
iBasis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which management believes are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of Caleres, Inc. ("the Company"). These statements, however, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.
The Company’s business is seasonal in nature due to consumer spending patterns, with higher back-to-school and holiday season sales. Although the third fiscal quarter has historically accounted for a substantial portion of the Company’s earnings for the year, the Company is beginning to experience more equal distribution among the quarters. Interim results may not necessarily be indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole.
Certain prior period amounts in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect net earnings attributable to Caleres, Inc.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2022.
iNoncontrolling Interests
During 2019, the Company entered into a joint venture with Brand Investment Holding Limited (“Brand Investment Holding”), a member of the Gemkell Group, to sell Sam Edelman, Naturalizer and other branded footwear in China. The Company and Brand Investment Holding are each i 50% owners of the joint venture, which is named CLT Brand Solutions (“CLT”). During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, capital contributions of $ i 3.0 million were made to CLT, including $ i 1.5 million received from Brand Investment Holding. Net sales were $ i 4.8 million and $ i 7.7 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, respectively. Operating earnings were $ i 0.5 million and operating losses were $ i 0.3 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, respectively. Net sales and operating earnings were not significant during the thirteen or twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021.
The Company had a joint venture agreement with a subsidiary of C. banner International Holdings Limited (“CBI”) to market Naturalizer footwear in China. The Company was a i 51% owner of the joint venture (“B&H Footwear”), with CBI owning the other i 49%. The license enabling the joint venture to market the footwear expired in August 2017 and the parties are in the process of dissolving their joint venture agreements.
The Company consolidates CLT and B&H Footwear into its condensed consolidated financial statements. Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the share of net earnings or losses that is attributable to Brand Investment Holding and CBI. Transactions between the Company and the joint ventures have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
/ iUse of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
iCARES Act
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act was enacted. The CARES Act includes a provision that allows the Company to defer the employer portion of social security payroll tax payments that would have been paid between the enactment date and December 31, 2020, with 50% payable by December 31, 2021 and 50% payable by December 31, 2022. During 2020, the Company deferred approximately $ i 9.4 million of employer social security payroll taxes. As of July 30, 2022, employer social security payroll taxes totaling $ i 5.0 million, which are payable by December 31, 2022, are presented in other accrued expenses on the condensed
/ /
8
consolidated balance sheet. As of July 31, 2021, approximately $ i 4.7 million of deferred employer social security payroll taxes was recorded in other accrued expenses and $ i 4.7 million was recorded in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
iProperty and Equipment, Held for Sale
In April 2021, the Company announced that it would begin marketing for sale its i nine-acre corporate headquarters campus (the “Campus”) located in Clayton, Missouri. In January 2022, the Company classified a portion of the Campus as property and equipment, held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 29, 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company continued its negotiations and an agreement for the sale of the Campus was signed on April 27, 2022, subject to certain closing conditions. The sale of the Campus is expected to close and qualify as a completed sale during fiscal 2022. Accordingly, the Campus has been classified as property and equipment, held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 30, 2022 and is reflected within the Eliminations and Other category. The Company evaluated the Campus asset group for impairment indicators and determined that no indicators were present. The Company intends to execute a lease agreement for a portion of a new office building to be built on a parcel of the headquarters campus, as well as a lease agreement for the existing headquarters building during the period of construction. These lease agreements are expected to be finalized during fiscal 2022.
/ iNote 2 Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not expect any of the pronouncements to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

| (1) | Collectively referred to as "e-commerce" in the narrative below |
| (2) | Includes breakage revenue from unredeemed gift cards |
Retail stores
Traditionally, the majority of the Company’s revenue is generated from retail sales where control is transferred and revenue is recognized at the point of sale. Retail sales are recorded net of estimated returns and exclude sales tax. The Company records a returns reserve and a corresponding return asset for expected returns of merchandise.
Retail sales to members of the Company’s loyalty programs, including the Famously You Rewards program, include i two performance obligations: the sale of merchandise and the delivery of points that may be redeemed for future purchases. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone selling price. The stand-alone selling price for the points is estimated using the retail value of the merchandise earned, adjusted for estimated breakage based upon historical redemption patterns. The revenue associated with the initial merchandise purchased is recognized immediately and the value assigned to the points is deferred until the points are redeemed, forfeited or expired.
E-commerce
The Company generates revenue from sales on websites maintained by the Company that are shipped from the Company’s distribution centers or retail stores directly to the consumer, or picked up directly by the consumer from the Company’s stores (“e-commerce – Company websites”); sales from the Company’s wholesale customers’ websites that are fulfilled on a drop-ship basis (“e-commerce – wholesale drop ship”); and other e-commerce sales (“wholesale – e-commerce”), collectively referred to as "e-commerce". The Company transfers control and recognizes revenue for merchandise sold that is shipped directly to an individual consumer upon delivery to the consumer.
Landed wholesale
Landed sales are wholesale sales in which the merchandise is shipped directly to the customer from the Company’s warehouses. Many customers purchasing footwear on a landed basis arrange their own transportation of merchandise and, with limited exceptions, control is transferred at the time of shipment.
First-cost wholesale
First-cost sales are wholesale sales in which the Company purchases merchandise from an international factory that manufactures the product and subsequently sells to a customer at an overseas port. Revenue is recognized at the time the merchandise is delivered to the customer’s designated freight forwarder and control is transferred to the customer.
Licensing and royalty
The Company has license agreements with third parties allowing them to sell the Company’s branded product, or other merchandise that uses the Company’s owned or licensed brand names. These license agreements provide the licensee access to the Company’s symbolic intellectual property, and revenue is therefore recognized over the license term. For royalty contracts that do not have guaranteed minimums, the Company recognizes revenue as the licensee’s sales occur. For royalty contracts that have guaranteed minimums, revenue for the guaranteed minimum is recognized on a straight-line basis during the term, until such time that the cumulative royalties exceed the total minimum guarantee. Up-front payments are recognized over the contractual term to which the guaranteed minimum relates.
11
The Company also licenses its Famous Footwear trade name and logo to a third-party financial institution to offer Famous Footwear-branded credit cards to its consumers. The Company receives royalties based upon cardholder spending, which is recognized as licensing revenue at the time when the credit card is used.
Contract Balances
Revenue is recorded at the transaction price, net of estimates for variable consideration for which reserves are established, including returns, allowances and discounts. Variable consideration is estimated using the expected value method and given the large number of contracts with similar characteristics, the portfolio approach is applied to determine the variable consideration for each revenue stream. Reserves for projected returns are based on historical patterns and current expectations.
Information about significant contract balances from contracts with customers is as follows:

/Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $ i 3.0 million and $ i 3.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively, and $ i 6.1 million and $ i 6.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. The Company estimates that amortization expense related to intangible assets will be approximately $ i 12.1 million in 2022, $ i 11.9 million in 2023 and $ i 11.0 million in each of the fiscal years 2024, 2025 and 2026.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it might be impaired, using either the qualitative assessment or a quantitative fair value-based test. The Company recorded i i no / goodwill impairment charges during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 or July 31, 2021.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year unless events or circumstances indicate an interim test is required. The Company recorded i i no / impairment charges for indefinite-lived intangible assets during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 or July 31, 2021.
iNote 9 Leases
The Company leases all of its retail locations, a manufacturing facility, and certain office locations, distribution centers and equipment. At contract inception, leases are evaluated and classified as either operating or finance leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The majority of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate and therefore, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. For operating leases, lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred.
The Company regularly analyzes the results of all of its stores and assesses the viability of underperforming stores to determine whether events or circumstances exist that indicate the stores should be closed or whether the carrying amount of their long-lived assets may not be
16
recoverable. After allowing for an appropriate start-up period and consideration of any unusual nonrecurring events, property and equipment at stores and the lease right-of-use assets indicated as impaired are written down to fair value as calculated using a discounted cash flow method. The fair value of the lease right-of-use assets is determined utilizing projected cash flows for each store location, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate, subject to a market floor based on current market lease rates. The Company recorded asset impairment charges of $ i 0.2 million and $ i 0.4 million during the thirteen weeks and $ i 2.0 million and $ i 2.3 million during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. The impairment charges are primarily related to capitalized software and underperforming retail stores. Refer to Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on these impairment charges.
As a result of the temporary store closures during the first half of 2020 associated with the pandemic, certain leases were amended to provide rent abatements and/or deferral of lease payments. Deferred payments continue to be reflected in lease obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under relief provided by the FASB, entities could make a policy election to account for COVID-19-related lease concessions as if the enforceable rights existed under the original contract, accounting for them as variable rent rather than lease modifications. The Company made a policy election to account for rent abatements as variable rent. Accordingly, during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, the Company recorded $ i 0.3 million and $ i 1.6 million, respectively, in lease concessions as a reduction of rent expense within selling and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Rent concessions for leases that were extended were recognized as a lease modification.
During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, the Company entered into new or amended leases that resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease obligations of $ i 87.8 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of July 30, 2022, the Company has entered into lease commitments for i five retail locations for which the leases have not yet commenced. The Company anticipates that i three leases will begin in the current fiscal year and i two leases will begin in the next fiscal year. Upon commencement, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $ i 2.7 million will be recorded in the current fiscal year and $ i 2.0 million will be recorded in the next fiscal year on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, as further discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company intends to execute a lease agreement during the second half of 2022 for a portion of a new office building to be built on a parcel of the headquarters campus, as well as a lease agreement for the existing headquarters building during the period of construction.

iNote 10 Financing Arrangements
Credit Agreement
The Company maintains a revolving credit facility for working capital needs. The Company is the lead borrower, and Sidney Rich Associates, Inc., BG Retail, LLC, Allen Edmonds LLC, Vionic Group LLC and Vionic International LLC are each co-borrowers and guarantors. On April 8, 2022, Blowfish, LLC was joined to the Credit Agreement as a co-borrower and guarantor.
On October 5, 2021, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as so amended, the "Credit Agreement") which, among other modifications, decreased the amount available under the revolving credit facility by $ i 100.0 million to an aggregate amount of up to $ i 500.0 million, subject to borrowing base restrictions, and may be increased by up to $ i 250.0 million. The Credit Agreement also decreased the spread applied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or prime rate by a total of i 75 basis points.
Borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement is limited to the lesser of the total commitments and the borrowing base ("Loan Cap"), which is based on stated percentages of the sum of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible credit card receivables, as defined, less applicable reserves. Under the Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties’ obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in all accounts receivable, inventory and certain other collateral.
Interest on borrowings is at variable rates based on LIBOR (with a floor of i 0.0%), or the prime rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a spread. The interest rate and fees for letters of credit vary based upon the level of excess availability under the Credit Agreement. There is an unused line fee payable on the unused portion under the facility and a letter of credit fee payable on the outstanding face amount under letters of credit.
The Credit Agreement limits the Company’s ability to create, incur, assume or permit to exist additional indebtedness and liens, make investments or specified payments, give guarantees, pay dividends, make capital expenditures and merge or acquire or sell assets. In addition, if excess availability falls below the greater of i 10.0% of the Loan Cap and $ i 40.0 million for three consecutive business days, and the fixed charge coverage ratio is less than i 1.25 to 1.0, the Company would be in default under the Credit Agreement and certain additional covenants would be triggered.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to similar obligations, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults and the failure of any guaranty or security document supporting the agreement to be in full force and effect. If an event of default occurs, the collateral agent may assume dominion and control over the Company’s cash (a “cash dominion event”) until such event of default is cured or waived or the excess availability exceeds such amount for 30 consecutive days, provided that a cash dominion event shall be deemed continuing (even if an event of default is no longer continuing and/or excess availability exceeds the required amount for 30 consecutive business days) after a cash dominion event has occurred and been discontinued on two occasions in any 12-month period. The Credit Agreement also contains certain other covenants and restrictions. The Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions under the Credit Agreement as of July 30, 2022.
At July 30, 2022, the Company had $ i 348.5 million of borrowings outstanding and $ i 10.8 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Total additional borrowing availability was $ i 140.7 million at July 30, 2022.

The Senior Notes were guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement. On August 16, 2021, the Company redeemed $ i 100.0 million of Senior Notes at i 100.0%. In addition, on January 3, 2022, the remaining $ i 100.0 million of Senior Notes were redeemed at i 100.0%, extinguishing the Company’s long-term debt.

21
During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, the Company granted long-term incentive awards payable in cash for the 2022-2024 performance period, with a target value of $ i 8.3 million and a maximum value of $ i 16.6 million.

The estimated values of the awards, which are reflected within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are being expensed ratably over the i three-year performance period.
Restricted Stock Units for Non-Employee Directors
Equity-based grants may be made to non-employee directors in the form of restricted stock units ("RSUs") payable in cash or common stock at no cost to the non-employee director. The RSUs are subject to a vesting requirement (usually one year) and earn dividend equivalents at the same rate as dividends on the Company’s common stock. The dividend equivalents, which vest immediately, are automatically re-invested in additional RSUs. Expense related to the initial grant of RSUs is recognized ratably over the vesting period based upon the fair value of the RSUs. The RSUs payable in cash are remeasured at the end of each period. Expense for the dividend equivalents is recognized at fair value when the dividend equivalents are granted. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the RSUs payable in cash subsequent to the vesting period and through the settlement date are recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The Company granted i 38,104 and i 40,729 RSUs to non-employee directors, including i 1,459 and i 1,449 for dividend equivalents, during the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively, with weighted-average grant date fair values of $ i 27.66 and $ i 27.48, respectively.

Note 14 Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value measurement disclosure requirements specify a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (“observable inputs”) or reflect the Company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (“unobservable inputs”). In accordance with the fair value guidance, the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are categorized into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
| ● | Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
| ● | Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and |
| ● | Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
In determining fair value, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Classification of the financial or non-financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Measurement of Fair Value
The Company measures fair value as an exit price, the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, using the procedures described below for all financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Money Market Funds
The Company periodically invests in cash equivalents consisting of short-term money market funds backed by U.S. Treasury securities to preserve the Company’s capital for the purpose of funding operations. It does not enter into money market funds for trading or speculative purposes. The fair value is based on unadjusted quoted market prices for the funds in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency (Level 1).
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan Assets and Liabilities
The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) for the benefit of certain management employees. The investment funds offered to the participants generally correspond to the funds offered in the Company’s 401(k) plan, and the account balance fluctuates with the investment returns on those funds. The Deferred Compensation Plan permits the deferral of up to i 50% of base salary and i 100% of compensation received under the Company’s annual incentive plan. The deferrals are held in a separate trust, which has been established by the Company to administer the Deferred Compensation Plan. The assets of the trust are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event that the Company becomes insolvent. Consequently, the trust qualifies as a grantor trust for income tax purposes (i.e., a “Rabbi Trust”). The liabilities of the Deferred Compensation Plan are presented in other accrued expenses and the assets held by the trust are classified within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are charged to selling and administrative expenses. The fair value is based on unadjusted quoted market prices for the funds in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency (Level 1).
Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors
Non-employee directors are eligible to participate in a deferred compensation plan with deferred amounts valued as if invested in the Company’s common stock through the use of phantom stock units (“PSUs”). Under the plan, each participating director’s account is credited with the number of PSUs equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that the participant could purchase or receive with the amount of the deferred compensation, based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal quarter when the cash compensation was earned. Dividend equivalents are paid on PSUs at the same rate as dividends on the Company’s common stock and are re-invested in additional PSUs at the next fiscal quarter-end. The liabilities of the plan are based on the fair value of the outstanding PSUs and are presented in other accrued expenses (current portion) or other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the PSUs are presented in selling and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The fair value of each PSU is based on an unadjusted quoted market price for the Company’s common stock in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency on each measurement date (Level 1).
/
23
Restricted Stock Units for Non-Employee Directors
Under the Company’s incentive compensation plans, cash-equivalent restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of the Company were previously granted at no cost to non-employee directors. These cash-equivalent RSUs are subject to a vesting requirement (usually i one year), earn dividend-equivalent units, and are settled in cash on the date the director terminates service or such earlier date as a director may elect, subject to restrictions, based on the then current fair value of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of each cash-equivalent RSU is based on an unadjusted quoted market price for the Company’s common stock in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency on each measurement date (Level 1). Additional information related to RSUs for non-employee directors is disclosed in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Mandatory Purchase Obligation
The Company recorded a mandatory purchase obligation of the remaining interest in conjunction with the acquisition of Blowfish Malibu in July 2018. The fair value of the mandatory purchase obligation was based on the earnings formula specified in the purchase agreement (Level 3). Fair value adjustments on the mandatory purchase obligation were recorded as interest expense. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of $ i 7.1 million and $ i 13.5 million, respectively. The mandatory purchase obligation of $ i 54.6 million was paid on November 4, 2021 and therefore, there were i no corresponding fair value adjustments during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022. Refer to further discussion of the mandatory purchase obligation in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at July 30, 2022, July 31, 2021 and January 29, 2022. During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, there were i i no / transfers into or out of Level 3.

Impairment Charges
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, a significant change in the manner of the use of the asset, or a negative industry or economic trend. When the Company determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the aforementioned factors, impairment is measured based on a projected discounted cash flow method. Certain factors, such as estimated store sales and expenses, used for this nonrecurring fair value measurement are considered Level 3 inputs as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. Long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of $ i 555.0 million and $ i 551.8 million at July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively, were assessed for indicators of impairment.

iNote 15 Income Taxes
The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate can vary considerably from period to period, depending on a number of factors. The Company’s consolidated effective tax rates were i 25.3% and i 30.3% for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021 was driven by discrete tax adjustments of $ i 2.9 million, inclusive of $ i 3.3 million of incremental valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets, as we are in a full valuation allowance position for federal, state and certain international jurisdictions.
The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was i 25.5% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, compared to i 31.1% for the six months ended July 31, 2021. The higher effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021 primarily reflects the incremental valuation allowances recorded in the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021, as described above, and the non-deductibility of losses at the Company’s Canadian division, which were driven by exit-related costs associated with Naturalizer retail stores.
As of July 30, 2022, i no deferred taxes have been provided on the accumulated unremitted earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are not subject to United States income tax, beyond the amounts recorded for the one-time transition tax for the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings, as required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company periodically evaluates its international investment opportunities and plans, as well as its international working capital needs, to determine the level of investment required and, accordingly, determines the level of international earnings that is considered indefinitely reinvested. Based upon that evaluation, earnings of the Company’s international subsidiaries that are not otherwise subject to United States taxation are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, deferred taxes have not been provided. If changes occur in future investment opportunities and plans, those changes will be reflected when known and may result in providing residual United States deferred taxes on unremitted international earnings.

Note 16 Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Remediation
Prior operations included numerous manufacturing and other facilities for which the Company may have responsibility under various environmental laws for the remediation of conditions that may be identified in the future. The Company is involved in environmental remediation and ongoing compliance activities at several sites and has been notified that it is or may be a potentially responsible party at several other sites.
Redfield
The Company is remediating, under the oversight of Colorado authorities, the groundwater and indoor air at its owned facility in Colorado (the “Redfield site” or, when referring to remediation activities at or under the facility, the “on-site remediation”) and residential neighborhoods adjacent to and near the property (the “off-site remediation”) that have been affected by solvents previously used at the facility. The on-site remediation calls for the operation of a pump and treat system (which prevents migration of contaminated groundwater off the property) as the final remedy for the site, subject to monitoring and periodic review of the on-site conditions and other remedial technologies that may be developed in the future. In 2016, the Company submitted a revised plan to address on-site conditions, including direct treatment of source areas, and received approval from the oversight authorities to begin implementing the revised plan.
As the treatment of the on-site source areas progresses, the Company expects to convert the pump and treat system to a passive treatment barrier system. Off-site groundwater concentrations have been reducing over time since installation of the pump and treat system in 2000 and injection of clean water beginning in 2003. However, localized areas of contaminated bedrock just beyond the property line continue to impact off-site groundwater. The modified work plan for addressing this condition includes converting the off-site bioremediation system into a monitoring well network and employing different remediation methods in these recalcitrant areas. In accordance with the work plan, a pilot test was conducted of certain groundwater remediation methods and the results of that test were used to develop more detailed plans for remedial activities in the off-site areas, which were approved by the authorities and are being implemented in a phased manner. The results of groundwater monitoring are being used to evaluate the effectiveness of these activities. The Company continues to implement the expanded remedy work plan that was approved by the oversight authorities in 2015. Based on the progress of the direct remedial action of on-site conditions, the Company submitted a request to the oversight authorities for permission to convert the perimeter pump and treat active remediation system to a passive one. In 2019, a final response was received from the oversight authorities, which is allowing the Company to proceed with implementation of the revised plan on a portion of the treatment system. The Company continues to pursue approval from the oversight authorities for the full conversion of the perimeter pump and treat active remediation system to a passive one. The Company also continues to work with the oversight authorities on the off-site work plan.
The cumulative expenditures for both on-site and off-site remediation through July 30, 2022 were $ i 32.7 million. The Company has recovered a portion of these expenditures from insurers and other third parties. The reserve for the anticipated future remediation activities at July 30, 2022 is $ i 9.9 million, of which $ i 8.9 million is recorded within other liabilities and $ i 1.0 million is recorded within other accrued expenses. Of the total $ i 9.9 million reserve, $ i 5.1 million is for off-site remediation and $ i 4.8 million is for on-site remediation. The liability for the on-site remediation was discounted at i 4.8%. On an undiscounted basis, the on-site remediation liability would be $ i 13.4 million as of July 30, 2022. The Company expects to spend approximately $ i 0.6 million in 2022, $ i 0.1 million in each of the following four years and $ i 12.4 million in the aggregate thereafter related to the on-site remediation.
Other
Various federal and state authorities have identified the Company as a potentially responsible party for remediation at certain other sites. However, the Company does not currently believe that its liability for such sites, if any, would be material.
The Company continues to evaluate its remediation plans in conjunction with its environmental consultants and records its best estimate of remediation liabilities. However, future actions and the associated costs are subject to oversight and approval of various governmental authorities. Accordingly, the ultimate costs may vary, and it is possible costs may exceed the recorded amounts.
Litigation
The Company is involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such ordinary course of business proceedings and litigation currently pending is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Legal costs associated with litigation are expensed as incurred.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
We delivered strong financial and operational results for the second quarter, with record net sales and earnings. We leveraged our lead brands to capitalize on robust demand in trending footwear categories to meet the needs of our core consumer and drive strong gross profit and operating margins. We also strategically augmented our inventory levels in advance of the fall buying and back-to-school seasons. We continued to execute on our capital return program and repurchased 1.1 million shares of our common stock during the second quarter of 2022.
Financial Highlights
Following is a summary of the financial highlights for the second quarter of 2022:
| ● | Consolidated net sales increased $62.8 million, or 9.3%, to $738.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $675.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. Our Famous Footwear segment continued its strong performance with net sales of $436.4 million. Net sales of our Brand Portfolio segment increased $85.1 million, or 35.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. On a consolidated basis, our direct-to-consumer sales represented approximately 72% of consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 79% in the second quarter of 2021. |
| ● | Consolidated gross profit increased $14.5 million, or 4.5%, to $336.8 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $322.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. Our gross profit margin decreased to 45.6% in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 47.7% in the second quarter of 2021, reflecting a higher mix of wholesale versus retail sales combined with higher markdowns and an increase in freight costs associated with e-commerce sales. |
| ● | Consolidated operating earnings increased $5.6 million to $68.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $62.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. |
| ● | Consolidated net earnings attributable to Caleres, Inc. were $51.2 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $37.4 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. |
The following items should be considered in evaluating the comparability of our second quarter results in 2022 and 2021:
| ● | Inflationary Pressures – We continued to experience inflationary pressures on product costs and inbound freight during the second quarter of 2022. The price increases we began implementing in the second half of 2021 have mitigated the majority of these inflationary pressures related to product costs. We believe our ability to limit promotional activity and align inventory to demand will continue to mitigate the impact of these inflationary pressures on our financial results. However, ongoing general inflation continues to impact consumer sentiment and may result in lower consumer spending in the second half of 2022 and beyond. |
| ● | Blowfish Malibu mandatory purchase obligation – As further discussed in Note 5 and Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the remaining interest in Blowfish Malibu was subject to a mandatory purchase obligation after a three-year period following the 2018 acquisition, based on an earnings multiple formula. During the second quarter of 2021, we recorded a fair value adjustment of $7.1 million ($5.3 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.14 per diluted share). The fair value adjustment was recorded as interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. There were no corresponding charges in the second quarter of 2022. The purchase obligation was settled for $54.6 million on November 4, 2021. |
Metrics Used in the Evaluation of Our Business
The following are a couple of key metrics by which we evaluate our business and make strategic decisions:
Same-store sales
The same-store sales metric is a metric commonly used in the retail industry to evaluate the revenue generated for stores that have been open for more than a year, though other retailers may calculate the metric differently. Management uses the same-store sales metric as a measure of an individual store’s success to determine whether it is performing in line with expectations. Our same-store sales metric is a daily-
27
weighted calculation for the period, which includes sales for stores that have been open for at least 13 months. In addition, in order to be included in the same-store sales metric, a store must be open in the current period as well as the corresponding day(s) of the comparable retail calendar in the prior year. Accordingly, closed stores are excluded from the same-store sales metric for each day of the closure. Relocated stores are treated as new stores and therefore excluded from the calculation. E-commerce sales for those websites that function as an extension of a retail chain are included in the same-store sales calculation. We believe the same-store sales metric is useful to shareholders and investors in assessing our retail sales performance of existing locations with comparable prior year sales, separate from the impact of store openings or store closures.
Sales per square foot
The sales per square foot metric is commonly used in the retail industry to calculate the efficiency of sales based upon the square footage in a store. Management uses the sales per square foot metric as a measure of an individual store’s success to determine whether it is performing in line with expectations. The sales per square foot metric is calculated by dividing total retail store sales, excluding e-commerce sales, by the total square footage of the retail store base at the end of each month of the respective period.
Outlook
Even with ongoing inflationary pressures and uncertainties around consumer sentiment, we believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities across a broad spectrum of consumer segments by leveraging our diverse portfolio of brands. We will continue to utilize our core competencies in brand building, merchandising, marketing and logistics to further our strategic priorities and execute on our capital return program in an effort to enhance value for our shareholders.
Following are the consolidated results and the results by segment:

Net Sales
Net sales increased $62.8 million, or 9.3%, to $738.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $675.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. Net sales for our Brand Portfolio segment increased $85.1 million, or 35.6% during the second quarter of 2022, compared to the second quarter of 2021, led by strong performances by our lead brands. Net sales for our Famous Footwear segment remained strong, but decreased $17.3 million, or 3.8%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting a lower store count and a slower start to the back-to-school season. On a consolidated basis, our direct-to-consumer sales represented approximately 72% of total net sales for the second quarter of 2022. We continued to experience robust growth in our dress, casual and occasion-based styles during the quarter. While demand for our athletics footwear slowed during the quarter, it continues to be one of our top-selling categories. We remain focused on maximizing the vertical opportunity between the Famous Footwear and Brand Portfolio segments, with Dr. Scholl’s, LifeStride and Blowfish Malibu representing three of Famous Footwear’s top 15 best-selling footwear brands during the quarter.
Net sales increased $159.2 million, or 12.1%, to $1,473.4 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $1,314.2 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021. Net sales for our Brand Portfolio segment increased $200.5 million, or 41.0% during the first six months of 2022, compared to the first six months of 2021. Our Famous Footwear segment’s sales momentum continued. However, net sales for Famous Footwear decreased $30.9 million, or 3.6%, in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021, primarily
28
reflecting a lower store count and a slower start to the back-to-school season. On a consolidated basis, our direct-to-consumer sales represented approximately 69% of total net sales for the six months ended July 30, 2022.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $14.5 million, or 4.5%, to $336.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $322.3 million for the second quarter of 2021, reflecting higher net sales. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 45.6% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 47.7% for the second quarter of 2021, reflecting a higher mix of wholesale versus retail sales combined with higher markdowns and an increase in freight costs associated with e-commerce sales.
Gross profit increased $66.6 million, or 11.2%, to $663.8 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $597.2 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021, reflecting higher net sales. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased slightly to 45.1% for the first half of 2022, compared to 45.4% for the first half of 2021.
We classify certain warehousing, distribution, sourcing and other inventory procurement costs in selling and administrative expenses. Accordingly, our gross profit and selling and administrative expense rates, as a percentage of net sales, may not be comparable to other companies.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses increased $8.9 million, or 3.4%, to $268.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $259.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by higher marketing expenses as a result of our strategic investment in consumer marketing to drive deeper connections with our consumers, and higher salary and benefits expenses, partially offset by lower expenses associated with our cash-based incentive compensation plans. In 2021, our first half financial results exceeded the targets established for our annual incentive plans, which resulted in a larger portion of the anticipated plan payouts recorded as expense in the second quarter of 2021. For 2022, anticipated plan payouts are being recognized more ratably during the year. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 36.4% for the second quarter of 2022, from 38.4% for the second quarter of 2021, reflecting leveraging of expenses on higher net sales.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $26.2 million, or 5.2%, to $529.2 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $503.0 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021. The increase primarily reflects the factors described above. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 36.0% for the six months ended July 30, 2022, from 38.3% for the six months ended July 31, 2021, reflecting leveraging of expenses on higher net sales.
Restructuring and Other Special Charges, Net
We incurred restructuring and other special charges of $13.5 million ($11.9 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.31 per diluted share) during the six months ended July 31, 2021, reflecting expenses associated with the strategic realignment of the Naturalizer retail store operations. There were no corresponding charges during the six months ended July 30, 2022 or the second quarter of 2021. Refer to Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of these charges.
Operating Earnings
Operating earnings increased $5.6 million to $68.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $62.8 million for the second quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting higher net sales and gross profit. As a percentage of net sales, operating earnings were 9.3% for the second quarter of 2022, consistent with the second quarter of 2021.
Operating earnings increased $53.9 million to $134.6 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $80.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021, primarily reflecting higher net sales and gross profit. As a percentage of net sales, operating earnings were 9.1% for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to 6.1% for the six months ended July 31, 2021.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net decreased $9.5 million, or 78.4%, to $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $12.0 million for the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to the non-recurrence of the $7.1 million fair value adjustment to the Blowfish Malibu mandatory purchase obligation in the second quarter of 2021. The purchase obligation was settled for $54.6 million on November 4, 2021. In addition, we redeemed our $200 million aggregate principal of senior notes in the second half of 2021. By retiring our senior notes, we shifted our higher-rate debt to the lower-rate borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, which reduced our interest expense by approximately $3.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2021. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in interest expense attributable to higher average borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.
29
Interest expense, net decreased $19.0 million, or 79.4%, to $4.8 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $23.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021, primarily due to the non-recurrence of the $13.5 million fair value adjustment to the Blowfish Malibu mandatory purchase obligation in the six months ended July 31, 2021. In addition, after retiring our senior notes, the shift of our higher-rate debt to the lower-rate borrowings under our revolving credit agreement reduced our interest expense by approximately $6.3 million compared to the six months ended July 31, 2021. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in interest expense attributable to higher average borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net decreased $0.7 million, or 16.7%, to $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2021, which reflects a reduction of certain components of net periodic benefit income.
Other income, net decreased $1.1 million, or 13.6%, to $6.6 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $7.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021, which reflects a reduction of certain components of net periodic benefit income. Refer to Note 13 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail regarding the components of net periodic benefit income.
Income Tax Provision
Our effective tax rate can vary considerably from period to period, depending on a number of factors. Our consolidated effective tax rate was 25.3% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 30.3% for the second quarter of 2021. The higher effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 was driven by discrete tax adjustments of $2.9 million, inclusive of $3.3 million of incremental valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets, as we were in a full valuation allowance position for federal, state and certain international jurisdictions.
Our consolidated effective tax rate was 25.5% for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to 31.1% for the six months ended July 31, 2021. The higher effective tax rate for the first half of 2021 primarily reflects the incremental valuation allowances recorded in the second quarter, as described above, and the non-deductibility of losses at our Canadian division, which were driven by exit-related costs associated with our Naturalizer retail stores in the first quarter of 2021.
Net Earnings Attributable to Caleres, Inc.
Net earnings attributable to Caleres, Inc. were $51.2 million and $101.7 million for the second quarter and six months ended July 30, 2022, respectively, compared to net earnings of $37.4 million and $43.5 million for the second quarter and six months ended July 31, 2021, respectively, as a result of the factors described above.

Net Sales
Net sales of $436.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 decreased $17.3 million, or 3.8%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. The elevated consumer demand we experienced in 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 continued for much of the second quarter of 2022. However, we began to see consumer demand, store and e-commerce traffic and conversion moderate somewhat later in the quarter, reflecting cautious consumer sentiment due to inflation and other economic concerns. That trend has continued into the third quarter of 2022. We experienced improvement in our non-athletic footwear categories, and while demand slowed for our athletics footwear, it continues to be one of our top-selling categories. During the second quarter of 2022, we closed six stores, resulting in 881 stores and total square footage of 5.8 million at the end of the second quarter of 2022, compared to 912 stores and total square footage of 6.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2021. Sales to members of our customer loyalty program, Famously You Rewards ("Rewards"), continue to account for a majority of the segment’s sales, with approximately 77% of our net sales made to program members in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 78% in the second quarter of 2021.
Net sales of $820.9 million in the six months ended July 30, 2022 decreased $30.9 million, or 3.6%, compared to the six months ended July 31, 2021, primarily due to the factors described above. Athletics and casual continue to be our top-selling categories. We remain focused on maximizing the vertical opportunity between the Famous Footwear and Brand Portfolio segments, with LifeStride, Dr. Scholl’s and Blowfish Malibu representing three of Famous Footwear’s top 15 best-selling footwear brands for the six months ended July 30, 2022. During the first half of 2022, we closed 13 stores.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $13.8 million, or 6.1%, to $213.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $227.4 million for the second quarter of 2021. As a percentage of net sales, our gross profit decreased to 48.9% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 50.1% for the second quarter of 2021. Although the gross profit rate for the second quarter of 2022 was slightly lower than the comparable period of 2021, it remained strong with limited promotional activity for much of the second quarter of 2022.
Gross profit decreased $4.4 million, or 1.1%, to $402.8 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $407.2 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021, primarily due to the decrease in net sales. As a percentage of net sales, our gross profit increased to 49.1% for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to 47.8% for the six months ended July 31, 2021. Our higher gross profit for the first half of 2022 was primarily due to less promotional activity.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses increased $9.2 million, or 6.5%, to $151.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $141.9 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by higher advertising expense primarily associated with our back-to-school marketing campaign and higher salary and benefits expenses due in part to wage inflation. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 34.6% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 31.3% for the second quarter of 2021.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $16.8 million, or 6.1%, to $290.6 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $273.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher salary and benefits expenses, higher logistics costs and higher advertising expense associated with our strategic investment in consumer marketing. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 35.4% for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to 32.1% for the six months ended July 31, 2021.
Operating Earnings
Operating earnings decreased $23.0 million to $62.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $85.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. As a percentage of net sales, operating earnings were 14.3% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 18.8% for the second quarter of 2021.
Operating earnings decreased $21.2 million to $112.2 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $133.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021. As a percentage of net sales, operating earnings were 13.7% for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to 15.7% for the six months ended July 31, 2021.

Net Sales
Net sales of $324.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 increased $85.1 million, or 35.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2021 driven by strong growth in our wholesale business. The net sales increase was broad-based across nearly all of our brands, with our Sam Edelman, Naturalizer and LifeStride brands being the most significant contributors. We continued to experience robust growth in our dress, casual and occasion-based styles for many of our brands, including Sam Edelman and LifeStride, and the sport-inspired category also continued to resonate with our customers. During the second quarter of 2022, we closed one store and opened three stores, resulting in a total of 85 stores and total square footage of 0.1 million at the end of the second quarter of 2022, compared to 87 stores and total square footage of 0.1 million at the end of the second quarter of 2021.
Net sales increased $200.5 million, or 41.0%, to $689.8 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $489.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021, reflecting strong sales growth from all of our brands, with our Sam Edelman, Naturalizer, LifeStride, Franco Sarto and Allen Edmonds brands being the most significant contributors.
In the first quarter of 2021, we completed the strategic realignment of our Naturalizer retail business and permanently closed the remaining 73 Naturalizer stores in North America that were scheduled for closure. We have continued to focus on growing the brand’s e-commerce business through naturalizer.com, our retail partners and their websites, and the two ongoing flagship stores in the United States. On a trailing twelve-month basis, sales per square foot, excluding e-commerce sales, increased to $1,018 for the twelve months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $561 for the twelve months ended July 31, 2021. With the closure of nearly all of our Naturalizer retail stores, the majority of the retail stores in our Brand Portfolio segment are for our Allen Edmonds brand, which have higher retail price points than the Naturalizer brand.
32
Our unfilled order position for our wholesale sales increased $31.7 million, or 9.6 %, to $360.4 million at July 30, 2022, compared to $328.7 million at July 31, 2021. The increase in our backlog order levels primarily reflects higher consumer demand compared to last year.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $29.2 million, or 30.8%, to $124.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $94.9 million for the second quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting higher net sales. As a percentage of net sales, our gross profit decreased to 38.3% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 39.7% for the second quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting a higher mix of wholesale versus retail sales.
Gross profit increased $74.5 million, or 39.5%, to $263.4 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $188.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021, reflecting higher net sales. As a percentage of net sales, our gross profit decreased slightly to 38.2% for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to 38.6% for the six months ended July 31, 2021. While we have experienced inflationary pressures related to product costs and inbound freight through the six months ended July 30, 2022, we have been able to successfully offset the majority of these impacts through price increases. We anticipate inflationary pressures to continue throughout 2022 and will continue to focus on mitigating the impact.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses increased $16.4 million, or 20.9%, to $94.7 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $78.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher variable salary expenses and wage inflation, higher marketing expenses and higher warehouse and logistics costs. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 29.2% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 32.8% for the second quarter of 2021, reflecting better leveraging of expenses over a higher net sales base.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $30.9 million, or 19.2%, to $192.6 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $161.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021. The increase was driven by higher variable salary expenses and higher marketing expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 27.9% for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to 33.0% for the six months ended July 31, 2021, reflecting better leveraging of expenses over a higher net sales base.
Restructuring and Other Special Charges, Net
We incurred restructuring and other special charges of $13.5 million during the six months ended July 31, 2021 for expenses associated with the strategic realignment of our Naturalizer retail store operations. These costs primarily represented lease termination and other store closure costs, including employee severance, for the 73 stores that were closed during the first quarter of 2021. Refer to Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to these charges. There were no corresponding charges during the second quarter of 2021 or the six months ended July 30, 2022.
Operating Earnings
Operating earnings increased to $29.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2021, as a result of the factors described above. As a percentage of net sales, operating earnings were 9.1% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 6.9% in the second quarter of 2021.
Operating earnings increased to $70.8 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $13.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021, as a result of the factors described above. As a percentage of net sales, operating earnings were 10.3% for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to 2.8% in the six months ended July 31, 2021.

The Eliminations and Other category includes the elimination of intersegment sales and profit, unallocated corporate administrative expenses, and other costs and recoveries.
The net sales elimination of $22.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 is $5.0 million, or 29.0%, higher than the second quarter of 2021. The net sales elimination of $37.2 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022 is $10.3 million, or 38.4%, higher than the six months ended July 31, 2021. The increases for both periods reflect an increase in product sold from our Brand Portfolio segment to Famous Footwear, as we continue to focus on maximizing the vertical opportunity between our segments.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased $16.7 million, to $22.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $39.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease primarily reflects lower expenses for our cash-based incentive compensation plans and certain other employee benefits. In 2021, our first half financial results exceeded the targets established for our annual incentive plans, which resulted in a larger portion of the anticipated plan payouts recorded as expense in the second quarter of 2021. For 2022, anticipated incentive plan payouts are being recognized more ratably during the year.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased $21.6 million, to $45.8 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $67.5 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021. The decrease primarily reflects lower expenses for our cash-based incentive compensation plans and certain other employee benefits and lower expenses associated with our cash-based director compensation plans reflecting lower growth in our stock price during the six months ended July 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended July 31, 2021.

The mandatory purchase obligation of $54.6 million was paid on November 4, 2021, as further discussed in Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
Total debt obligations of $348.5 million at July 30, 2022 increased $49.5 million, from $299.0 million at July 31, 2021, and increased $58.5 million, from $290.0 million at January 29, 2022. The increase in total debt from July 31, 2021 and January 29, 2022 is due primarily to higher inventory purchases during the quarter to prepare for our back-to-school selling season, as well as $41.7 million of repurchases of our common stock. In August 2021, we redeemed $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes and on January 3, 2022, we redeemed the remaining $100.0 million of senior notes. We shifted this higher interest rate debt to borrowings under the revolving credit facility, which has resulted in significant interest expense savings for the Company. While this reduction in interest expense is expected to continue, the interest on our revolving credit facility is based on a variable interest rate, which may result in higher interest expense in a rising interest rate environment. Net interest expense for the second quarter of 2022 decreased $9.5 million to $2.5 million, compared to $12.0 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease is primarily attributable to the non-recurrence of the $7.1 million fair value adjustment to the Blowfish Malibu mandatory purchase obligation recorded in the second quarter of 2021. The Blowfish Malibu mandatory purchase obligation of $54.6 million was paid on November 4, 2021, as further discussed in Note 5 and Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, as discussed above, the redemption of all outstanding senior notes in 2021 also contributed to the decrease in interest expense in the second quarter of 2022. These decreases were partially offset by higher average borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.
Credit Agreement
As further discussed in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company maintains a revolving credit facility for working capital needs. On October 5, 2021, we entered into a Fifth Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”) which, among other modifications, extended the maturity date of the credit facility from January 18, 2024, to October 5, 2026 and decreased the amount available under the revolving credit facility by $100.0 million to an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million, subject to borrowing base restrictions, and may be increased by up to $250.0 million. Interest on the borrowings is at variable rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") (with a floor of 0.0%), or the prime rate (as defined in the Credit
34
Agreement), plus a spread. The Credit Agreement decreased the spread applied to the LIBOR or prime rate by a total of 75 basis points. At July 30, 2022, we had $348.5 million in borrowings and $10.8 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Total borrowing availability was $140.7 million at July 30, 2022. We were in compliance with all covenants and restrictions under the Credit Agreement as of July 30, 2022.
Senior Notes
On July 27, 2015, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due in 2023 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes were guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the subsidiaries of Caleres, Inc. that is an obligor under the Credit Agreement, and bore interest of 6.25%, which was payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year. On August 16, 2021, we redeemed $100.0 million of the Senior Notes at 100.0%. In addition, on January 3, 2022, we redeemed the remaining $100.0 million of Senior Notes at 100.0%. Refer to further discussion regarding the Senior Notes in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reasons for the major variances in cash provided (used) in the table above are as follows:
Cash provided by operating activities was $108.3 million lower in the six months ended July 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended July 31, 2021, primarily reflecting the following factors:
| ● | A larger increase in inventory during the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended July 31, 2021, primarily reflecting higher inventory in preparation for the back-to-school season as well as earlier arrival of inventory for the Brand Portfolio segment due to improved transportation lead times; |
| ● | A decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities during the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to an increase during the six months ended July 31, 2021 due in part to higher accruals for incentive compensation payments in 2021, reflecting operating results that exceeded the targets established for the annual incentive plan; and |
| ● | An increase in accounts receivable during the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to a decrease in the six months ended July 31, 2021, attributable to higher wholesale sales during the period; partially offset by |
| ● | Higher net earnings in the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended July 31, 2021. |
Supply chain financing: Certain of our suppliers are given the opportunity to sell receivables from us related to products that we have purchased to participating financial institutions at a rate that leverages our credit rating, which may be more beneficial to the suppliers than the rate they can obtain based upon their own credit rating. We negotiate payment and other terms with our suppliers, regardless of whether the supplier participates in the program, and our responsibility is limited to making payment based on the terms originally negotiated with the supplier. These liabilities continue to be presented as accounts payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes reflected within cash flows from operating activities when settled. As of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, we had $39.9 million and $48.0 million, respectively, of accounts payable subject to supply chain financing arrangements.
Cash used for investing activities was $11.3 million higher for the six months ended July 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended July 31, 2021, reflecting higher capital expenditures. In 2022, we expect our purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software to be between $45 million and $55 million, as compared to $24.1 million in 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, we tested a new prototype Famous Footwear store that offers an enhanced shopping experience, highlights our leading assortment of trending brands and elevates those brands in an energetic and exciting manner. We have also continued to invest in refreshing our Famous Footwear stores in the first half of 2022. We plan to invest in additional prototype stores and store renovations throughout 2022, which we believe will reinforce our national presence and further differentiate our store experience from that of our competitors.
35
Cash provided by financing activities was $169.0 million higher for the six months ended July 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended July 31, 2021, primarily due to net borrowings on our revolving credit agreement of $58.5 in the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to net repayments of $150.0 million in the comparable period in 2021. In addition, we repurchased $41.7 million of our common stock under our share repurchase programs during the six months ended July 30, 2022, with no corresponding share repurchases during the six months ended July 31, 2021.
A summary of key financial data and ratios at the dates indicated is as follows:

|
| ||||||
Operating working capital ($ millions) (1) | | $ | 296.4 | | $ | 100.4 | | | $ | 193.8 | |
Current ratio (2) | | | 0.89:1 | | | 0.82:1 | | | | 0.82:1 | |
Debt-to-capital ratio (3) | | | 47.5 | % | | 54.9 | % | | | 47.3 | % |
| (1) | Operating working capital has been computed as total current assets, excluding cash and property and equipment, held for sale, less total current liabilities, excluding borrowings under revolving credit agreement, current portion of long-term debt and lease obligations. |
| (2) | The current ratio has been computed by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities. |
| (3) | The debt-to-capital ratio has been computed by dividing total debt by total capitalization. Total debt is defined as long-term debt (including the current portion) and borrowings under revolving credit agreement. Total capitalization is defined as total debt and total equity. |
Operating working capital at July 30, 2022 was $296.4 million, which was $196.0 million and $102.6 million higher than at July 31, 2021 and January 29, 2022, respectively. The increase in operating working capital from July 31, 2021 and January 29, 2022 primarily reflects higher inventories and the settlement of the Blowfish Malibu mandatory purchase obligation in the fourth quarter of 2021, partially offset by higher trade accounts payable. The increase in operating working capital from January 29, 2022 primarily reflects higher inventories, partially offset by higher trade payables. Our current ratio was 0.89 to 1 as of July 30, 2022, compared to 0.82:1 at July 31, 2021 and January 29, 2022. Our debt-to-capital ratio was 47.5% as of July 30, 2022, compared to 54.9% as of July 31, 2021 and 47.3% at January 29, 2022. The decrease in our debt-to-capital ratio from July 31, 2021 primarily reflects the extinguishment of our senior notes and higher equity attributable to our strong financial results.
We declared and paid dividends of $0.07 per share in the second quarter of both 2022 and 2021. The declaration and payment of any future dividend is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, business conditions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. However, we presently expect that dividends will continue to be paid.
We have various contractual or other obligations, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility, operating lease commitments, one-time transition tax for the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings and obligations for our supplemental executive retirement plan and other postretirement benefits. We also have purchase obligations to purchase inventory, assets and other goods and services. We believe our operating cash flows are sufficient to meet our material cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
It is the Chief Executive Officer’s and Chief Financial Officer’s ultimate responsibility to ensure we maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures include mandatory communication of material events, automated accounting processing and reporting, management review of monthly, quarterly and annual results, an established system of internal controls and ongoing monitoring by our internal auditors.
A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that their objectives are achieved. As of July 30, 2022, management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Based on the evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
