Caleres Announces First Quarter 2019 Earnings Call

ST. LOUIS--()--Caleres (NYSE: CAL) (caleres.com) today announced it plans to release its first quarter 2019 financial results after market close on Monday, June 3. Company executives will host a financial analyst call at 4:30 p.m. ET that day, to discuss first quarter results and to provide a general business update.

The dial-in number for financial analysts in North America is (877) 217-9089, or (706) 679-1723 for international analysts, and the conference ID is 8758845. To participate, please dial in a few minutes before the scheduled time. Employees, the media and the public are invited to listen to the call at investor.caleres.com/news/events.

A replay of the call will be available through Saturday, June 8, by dialing (855) 859-2056 in North America, or (404) 537-3406 internationally, and using the conference ID 8758845. A webcast replay will also be archived for a limited period at investor.caleres.com/news/events/archive.

Caleres also announced it is changing its segment presentation to reflect growth in intersegment activity, driven by recent acquisitions, and to better align reporting with its independent business model. The company will continue to present two reportable segments, Famous Footwear and Brand Portfolio, however, beginning with the first quarter of 2019, Caleres will present Brand Portfolio net sales inclusive of both external and intersegment sales.

The elimination of intersegment sales and profit from Brand Portfolio to Famous Footwear will be reflected within the Eliminations and Other category. In conjunction with the change, 2017 and 2018 results have been recast and the related quarterly historical segment results are included in the schedules to this release.
