| Acquisition | Note 3 Acquisition On February 16, 2025, the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Tapestry, Inc. (“Tapestry”) to acquire the Stuart Weitzman business (the “Acquisition”). On August 4, 2025, the Company completed the Acquisition pursuant to the terms and conditions of that Sale and Purchase Agreement, as amended. The aggregate purchase price for the Acquisition was $109.2 million, net of the cash received at the closing. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a net measurement period adjustment of $0.6 million related to the finalization of net working capital adjustments, and as of May 2, 2026, the purchase accounting for the Stuart Weitzman acquisition was complete. Stuart Weitzman, which includes both wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels, has been an iconic global luxury women’s footwear brand for over 35 years. The Acquisition strengthens the Company’s position in the global footwear market and adds an iconic name in luxury footwear to the Brand Portfolio segment. Stuart Weitzman maintains a strong presence in North America, Asia and Europe across both wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels. The acquisition was funded with borrowings from the revolving credit agreement. Purchase Price Allocation The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Stuart Weitzman were recorded at their estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identified intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the Company’s allocation of the purchase price as of the acquisition date:
The allocation of the purchase price was based on certain preliminary valuations and analyses. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair values assumed upon the finalization of more detailed analyses within the measurement period changed the allocation of the purchase price and were adjusted during the period in which the amounts are determined. The Company’s purchase price allocation required management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments the Company used in estimating the fair values assigned to each class of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities could materially affect the results of its operations. Management estimated the fair value of the assets and liabilities based upon quoted market prices, the carrying value of the acquired assets and widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows (Level 3 fair value measurements). A third-party valuation specialist assisted the Company with its preliminary fair value estimates for inventory, right-of-use lease assets, property and equipment and intangible assets. The Company used all available information to make its best estimate of fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets reflected above were determined to meet the criteria for recognition apart from tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill recognized, which is deductible for tax purposes, is primarily attributable to synergies and an assembled workforce. Refer to Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding goodwill and intangible assets. The financial results of Stuart Weitzman are included in the Brand Portfolio segment beginning in the third quarter of 2025. Stuart Weitzman contributed net sales of $43.9 million and reported an operating loss of $1.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026. The operating loss does not include $1.8 million ($1.3 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.03 per diluted share) in acquisition and integration-related costs during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and the incremental interest expense associated with the transaction. Refer to Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the acquisition and integration costs and Note 9 for discussion of the intangible assets acquired. Pro Forma Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 combine the historical results of Caleres, Inc. and Stuart Weitzman, assuming the acquisition had been completed as of February 2, 2025. The pro forma financial information includes various adjustments to reflect business combination accounting effects, including the incremental cost of goods sold related to the fair value step-up adjustment on the inventory, acquisition and integration-related transaction costs, interest expense on the incremental borrowings on the revolving credit agreement to fund the acquisition and amortization on the acquired intangible assets, and tax-related effects of the adjustments.
The above unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what the results of operations would have been had the Company completed the acquisition on February 2, 2025, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected in future periods. |
