\nShoe Station Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SHOE) (the \u201cCompany\u201d), a leading omnichannel retailer of footwear and accessories for the family, today reported results for the second quarter ended August 1, 2026 and updated its Fiscal 2026 guidance.<\/p>\n
\nOn June 12, 2026, following overwhelming shareholder approval, the Company changed its name to Shoe Station Group, Inc. In connection with the name change, the Company\u2019s common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol SHOE.<\/p>\n
Second Quarter 2026 and Back-to-School Highlights<\/b><\/p>\n \n\u201cOur second quarter results reflect a footwear marketplace that became increasingly promotional as the quarter progressed. We priced competitively to protect our market position and accelerated the liquidation of aged and excess inventory, both of which pressured our gross profit margin. Sales were further impacted by merchandise assortments that were not fully aligned with the customers shopping our stores. The significant improvement in our fiscal August back-to-school results reflects the better and more localized assortments in athletic footwear,\u201d said Cliff Sifford, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n \n\u201cThe majority of our fall merchandise has been allocated with localized assortments, which we expect to further benefit sales performance, and we believe our boot assortment is outstanding. We are supporting the fall season with incremental investment in advertising to drive customer traffic and to communicate our value proposition and product offering. These actions do not change our expectation that the promotional environment will persist through the balance of the year, and our updated guidance reflects that environment. We enter the second half with no debt, $131.6 million of cash and marketable securities, and inventory positioned to serve our customers,\u201d concluded Mr. Sifford.<\/p>\n Second Quarter 2026 Operating Results<\/b><\/p>\n \nNet sales in the second quarter of 2026 were $284.3 million compared to $306.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. Comparable store sales declined 7.1 percent.<\/p>\n \nBy banner:<\/p>\n \nDuring the second quarter of 2026, the Company rebannered 20 Shoe Carnival stores into Shoe Station stores, marking 21 total rebanners year-to-date in Fiscal 2026. The Company does not expect to rebanner any additional stores for the remainder of Fiscal 2026.<\/p>\n \nGross profit margin in the second quarter of 2026 was 31.9 percent, a decrease of 690 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2025. Merchandise margin decreased 630 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2025. Merchandise margin in the second quarter of 2025 included a temporary benefit from raising prices in advance of increasing tariff-related costs. In the second quarter of 2026, merchandise margins were also impacted by increased promotional activity and product liquidation. Although buying, distribution and occupancy costs decreased compared to the second quarter of 2025, due to lower net sales, these costs reduced gross profit margin by 60 basis points.<\/p>\n \nSelling, general and administrative expenses (\u201cSG&A\u201d) decreased $10.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2025. As a percent of net sales, SG&A for the second quarter of 2026 was 29.2 percent as compared to 30.6 percent in the second quarter of 2025. The lower SG&A was driven by lower selling costs, primarily advertising and other rebanner-related expenses, and lower performance-based compensation.<\/p>\n \nIncome tax expense in the second quarter of 2026 was $2.3 million and the effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2026 was 26.7% compared to 25.9% in the second quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n \nNet income for the second quarter of 2026 was $6.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to net income of $19.2 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n Year-to-Date 2026 Operating Results<\/b><\/p>\n \nNet sales during the first six months of 2026 (year-to-date 2026) were $555.0 million, a decrease of 5.0 percent compared to the first six months of 2025 (year-to-date 2025). Comparable store sales declined 4.7 percent. By banner, Shoe Carnival comparable store sales declined 4.0 percent and Shoe Station comparable store sales declined 5.8 percent.<\/p>\n \nGross profit was $180.7 million in year-to-date 2026, a decrease of $33.9 million compared to year-to-date 2025. Gross profit margin was 32.6 percent in year-to-date 2026 compared to 36.7 percent in year-to-date 2025.<\/p>\n \nSG&A increased $1.7 million in year-to-date 2026 compared to year-to-date 2025. As a percent of net sales, SG&A for year-to-date 2026 was 32.3 percent compared to 30.3 percent in year-to-date 2025. Year-to-date 2026 non-GAAP adjusted SG&A (\u201cAdjusted SG&A\u201d) decreased $11.9 million on lower advertising and other rebanner-related costs and lower performance-based compensation. Adjusted SG&A excludes non-recurring charges of $13.6 million incurred in the first quarter of 2026 related to the previously disclosed Chief Executive Officer transition (the \u201cCEO Transition\u201d) and the Company\u2019s strategic review of its rebanner strategy and other operations (the \u201cStrategic Review\u201d).<\/p>\n \nThe Company\u2019s effective tax rate in year-to-date 2026 was 81.8 percent compared to 26.6 percent in year-to-date 2025. The increase was primarily due to the non-deductibility of a portion of the severance paid as part of the CEO Transition. The Company\u2019s non-GAAP adjusted effective tax rate (\u201cAdjusted Tax Rate\u201d) for year-to-date 2026, which excludes the impacts related to the CEO Transition, was 26.8 percent.<\/p>\n \nYear-to-date 2026 net income was $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. Year-to-date non-GAAP adjusted net income (\u201cAdjusted Net Income\u201d) and Adjusted EPS, which each exclude the impacts from the non-recurring charges recorded in the first quarter of 2026 discussed above, were $12.5 million and $0.45 per diluted share, respectively, compared to net income of $28.6 million and EPS of $1.04 in the first six months of 2025.<\/p>\n Back-to-School Performance Update<\/b><\/p>\n \nThrough the four weeks of fiscal August ended August 29, 2026, net sales declined 3.3 percent and comparable store sales declined 2.7 percent compared to the same period in 2025. This is a significant improvement compared to the comparable store sales decline of 7.1 percent in the second quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n Fiscal 2026 Guidance<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe Company is adjusting its previously communicated Fiscal 2026 guidance, which now contemplates:<\/p>\n \nThe Company\u2019s Adjusted EPS, reduction in Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Tax Rate guidance excludes the $13.6 million of non-recurring pre-tax charges related to its CEO Transition and the Strategic Review recorded during the first quarter of 2026. A reconciliation of the adjusted guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP guidance measures is provided in a table at the end of this press release.<\/p>\n Conference Call<\/b><\/p>\n \nToday, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, the Company will host a conference call to discuss its second quarter results.

The Adjusted Tax Rate guidance for Fiscal 2026 affects the $13.6 million pretax charge to SG&A at a normalized rate of 24.3% and adds back $1.6 million of nondeductible CEO severance payments made in connection with the CEO Transition.<\/p>\n Use of Non-GAAP Measures<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nIn this press release, to supplement amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including reduction in Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Tax Rate, as shown in the tables above. These measures adjust for the charges and corresponding impact associated with (1) the CEO Transition, including cash severance, accelerated stock-based compensation, legal fees, payroll taxes, and outplacement fees, and (2) long-lived asset impairments and write-offs in connection with the completion of the Company\u2019s Strategic Review of its rebanner program and other operations, all of which occurred in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026. The unaudited adjusted results should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors to increase comparability to prior periods by adjusting for certain items that may not be indicative of core operating measures and to better identify trends in the Company\u2019s business. The adjusted financial results are used by management to, and allow investors to, evaluate the operating performance of the Company compared to prior periods, when reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP statements. These amounts are not determined in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be used exclusively in evaluating the Company’s business and operations.<\/p>\n View source version on businesswire.com: <\/span>https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20260910114887\/en\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n
