CALERES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
|
| |
Note 1 | Basis 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. 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 Christmas holiday season sales. Traditionally, the third fiscal quarter accounts for a substantial portion of the Company’s earnings for the year. 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 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.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2015.

Note 2 | Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized, based upon the core principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date, that approved a one year deferral of ASU 2014-09 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability in the balance sheet, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The amortization of debt issuance costs will continue to be reported as interest expense in the statement of earnings. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by ASU 2015-03. The ASU, which is to be applied on a retrospective basis and reported as a change in accounting principle, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. ASU 2015-03 will not affect the Company’s results of operations or cash flows, but it will require the Company to reclassify its deferred financing costs from other assets to borrowings under revolving credit agreement and long-term debt on a retrospective basis upon adoption in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets included deferred financing costs of $7.6 million, $5.3 million and $6.4 million as of August 1, 2015, August 2, 2014 and January 31, 2015, respectively, that will be subject to the ASU.
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share (or its Equivalent). ASU 2015-07 removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments for which fair values are estimated using the net asset value practical expedient provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Disclosures about investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share are limited under ASU 2015-07 to those investments for which the entity has elected to estimate the fair value using the net asset value practical expedient. The ASU is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with retrospective application to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires entities to measure inventory at "the lower of cost and net realizable value", simplifying the current guidance under which entities must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO. The ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
On December 12, 2014, Caleres Investment Company, Inc. ("CIC") (formerly known as Brown Shoe Investment Company, Inc.), the sole shareholder of Shoes.com, Inc. ("Shoes.com"), simultaneously entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among CIC and an affiliate of ShoeMe Technologies Limited ("the Purchaser"), pursuant to which the Purchaser acquired all of the outstanding capital stock, inventory and other assets of Shoes.com from CIC and the Company agreed to provide certain transition services. The aggregate purchase price of the sale was $15.0 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The Company received $4.4 million in cash and a $7.5 million face value secured convertible note ("convertible note") at closing, from the sale of stock, the sale of inventory and other assets, and the provision of transitional services, less working capital adjustments. The convertible note requires installments over four years with the first payment of $1.25 million due on July 1, 2017 and quarterly installments of $0.6 million thereafter, plus accrued interest, until it matures on December 12, 2019. Interest accrues at an annual rate of 6% until December 11, 2016, 7% until December 11, 2017, 8% until December 11, 2018, and 9% until the maturity date. The principal and outstanding accrued interest is convertible into common stock of the Purchaser at a conversion price of CAD 21.50 per share, at the Company's option, or automatically upon a qualified initial public offering ("IPO") by the Purchaser at the IPO price. The fair value of the convertible note of $7.1 million at August 1, 2015 is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest income of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015, respectively, is included in interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
The operating results of Shoes.com were included in the Famous Footwear segment in continuing operations through December 12, 2014. The operations of Shoes.com were not significant to the Famous Footwear segment or the Company's financial results. In accordance with ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which the Company adopted during the third quarter of 2014, the financial position and operating results of Shoes.com were not classified as a discontinued operation as the disposition did not represent a strategic shift resulting in a major impact on the Company's operations or financial results.
During the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015, the Company recognized a discrete tax benefit of $1.2 million related to the disposition of Shoes.com. Refer to Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
The Company uses the two-class method to compute basic and diluted earnings per common share attributable to Caleres, Inc. shareholders. In periods of net loss, no effect is given to the Company’s participating securities since they do not contractually participate in the losses of the Company. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share attributable to Caleres, Inc. shareholders for the periods ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014:

Note 5 | Long-term and Short-term Financing Arrangements |
Credit Agreement
On December 18, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Loan Parties”) entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which was further amended on July 20, 2015 to release all of the Company’s subsidiaries that were borrowers under or that guaranteed the Credit Agreement other than Sidney Rich Associates, Inc. and BG Retail, LLC (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”). After giving effect to the amendment, the Company is the lead borrower, and Sidney Rich Associates, Inc. and BG Retail, LLC are each co-borrowers and guarantors under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures on December 18, 2019 and provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $600.0 million, subject to the calculated borrowing base restrictions, and provides for an increase at the Company’s option by up to $150.0 million from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and the willingness of existing or new lenders to assume the increase.
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 the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) 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, certain additional covenants would be triggered if excess availability were to fall below specified levels, including fixed charge coverage ratio requirements. Furthermore, if excess availability falls below 12.5% of the Loan Cap for
three consecutive business days or an event of default occurs, the lenders 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 twelve month period.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults in excess of a certain threshold, the failure of any guaranty or security document supporting the agreement to be in full force and effect, and a change of control event. In addition, if the excess availability falls below the greater of (i) 10.0% of the lesser of the Loan Cap and (ii) $50.0 million, and the fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0, the Company would be in default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains certain other covenants and restrictions. We were in compliance with all covenants and restrictions under the Credit Agreement as of August 1, 2015.
At August 1, 2015, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and $6.3 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Total borrowing availability was $593.7 million at August 1, 2015.
$200 Million Senior Notes Due 2019
On May 11, 2011, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Senior Notes”). The 2019 Senior Notes were guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of its subsidiaries that was an obligor under the Credit Agreement. Interest on the 2019 Senior Notes was payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2019 Senior Notes were scheduled to mature on May 15, 2019 but were callable at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on May 15 of the years indicated below:
|
| | |
Year | Percentage |
|
2015 | 103.563 | % |
2016 | 101.781 | % |
2017 and thereafter | 100.000 | % |
On July 20, 2015, the Company commenced a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase any and all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 2019 Senior Notes. Upon expiration of the Tender Offer on July 24, 2015, $160.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Senior Notes (or 80.35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Senior Notes outstanding) were validly tendered. As of August 1, 2015, $41.5 million of restricted cash is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, representing deposits with the trustee for the redemption of the remaining outstanding 2019 Senior Notes. During the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015, the Company recognized a loss on the early extinguishment of the 2019 Senior Notes of $8.7 million, which represents the tender offer and call premiums, and the unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount associated with the portion of the 2019 Senior Notes that were redeemed.
Subsequent Event - Redemption of 2019 Senior Notes - On August 26, 2015, the Company redeemed the remaining outstanding $39.3 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2019 Senior Notes at the redemption price of 103.563% and recognized an additional loss on early extinguishment of $2.0 million, comprised of the call premium and the associated unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount.
$200 Million Senior Notes Due 2023
On July 27, 2015, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Senior Notes") in a private placement. The 2023 Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company's subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement. Interest on the 2023 Senior Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2016. The 2023 Senior Notes will mature on August 15, 2023. Prior to August 15, 2018, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2023 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the the principal amount of the 2023 Senior Notes plus a "make-whole" premium (as defined in the 2023 Senior Notes indenture) and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. After August 15, 2018, the Company may redeem all or a part of the 2023 Senior Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, and Additional Interest (as defined in the 2023 Senior Notes indenture), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on August 15 of the years indicated below:
|
| | |
Year | Percentage |
|
2018 | 104.688 | % |
2019 | 103.125 | % |
2020 | 101.563 | % |
2021 and thereafter | 100.000 | % |
If the Company experiences specific kinds of changes of control, it would be required to offer to purchase the 2023 Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
The 2023 Senior Notes also contain certain other covenants and restrictions that limit certain activities including, among other things, levels of indebtedness, payments of dividends, the guarantee or pledge of assets, certain investments, common stock repurchases, mergers and acquisitions and sales of assets. As of August 1, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants and restrictions relating to the 2023 Senior Notes.
The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2023 Senior Notes were approximately $196.3 million after deducting fees and expenses associated with the offering. The Company used the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to redeem the outstanding 2019 Senior Notes.

All of the restricted shares granted during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014 will vest in four years. Of the 293,421 restricted shares granted during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015, 280,921 will vest in four years and 12,500 of the shares will vest in five years. Of the 279,710 restricted shares granted during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014, 277,910 will vest in four years and the remaining 1,800 restricted shares vested in one year. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting periods.
During the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, the Company granted no performance share awards. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, the Company granted performance share awards for a targeted 177,921 shares and 88,185 units, respectively, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $30.12 and $28.18, respectively. Vesting of performance-based awards is dependent upon the financial performance of the Company and the attainment of certain financial goals during the three year period following the grant. At the end of the vesting period, the employee will have earned an amount of shares or units between 0% and 200% of the targeted award, depending on the achievement of specified financial goals for the service period. Compensation expense is being recognized based on the fair value of the award and the anticipated number of units to be awarded in accordance with the vesting schedule of the units over the three-year service period. The performance share units are settled in cash and their fair value is based on the unadjusted quoted market price for the Company’s common stock on each measurement date.
During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015, the Company granted zero and 16,667 stock options, respectively, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $29.18. Of the 16,667 stock options granted, 8,333 will vest in four years and 8,334 will vest in five years.

Note 11 | Risk Management and Derivatives |
In the normal course of business, the Company’s financial results are impacted by currency rate movements in foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and cash flows as it makes a portion of its purchases and sales in local currencies. The Company has established policies and business practices that are intended to mitigate a portion of the effect of these exposures. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily forward contracts, to manage its currency exposures. These derivative instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. Derivatives entered into by the Company are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions.
Derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit and market risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions being hedged. The Company does not believe there is a significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with these instruments because these transactions are executed with major financial institutions and have varying maturities through July 2016. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties.
The Company’s hedging strategy principally uses foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges, which are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value, to offset a portion of the effects of exchange rate fluctuations. The Company’s cash flow exposures include anticipated foreign currency transactions, such as foreign currency denominated sales, inventory purchases, expenses and intercompany charges, as well as collections and payments. The effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedge instruments are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings in the period that the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The Company performs a quarterly assessment of the effectiveness of the hedge relationship and measures and recognizes any hedge ineffectiveness in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
Hedge ineffectiveness is evaluated using the hypothetical derivative method. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014 was not material.
As of August 1, 2015, August 2, 2014 and January 31, 2015, the Company had forward contracts maturing at various dates through July 2016, August 2015 and January 2016, respectively. The contract notional amount represents the net amount of all purchase and sale contracts of a foreign currency.

Note 12 | Fair Value Measurements |
Fair Value Hierarchy
FASB guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures specifies 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; |
| |
• | 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 as well as considers counterparty credit risk. 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 has cash equivalents consisting of short-term money market funds backed by U.S. Treasury securities. The primary objective of these investing activities is to preserve the Company’s capital for the purpose of funding operations. The Company 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).
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 participant 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 50% of base salary and 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 as trading securities within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying 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 that is equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which 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 accompanying 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 statement 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).
Restricted Stock Units for Non-Employee Directors
Under the Company’s incentive compensation plans, cash-equivalent restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of the Company may be granted at no cost to non-employee directors. The RSUs are subject to a vesting requirement (usually 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 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 restricted stock units for non-employee directors is disclosed in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Performance Share Units
Under the Company’s incentive compensation plans, common stock or cash may be awarded at the end of the performance period at no cost to certain officers and key employees if certain financial goals are met. Under the plan, employees are granted performance share awards at a target number of shares or units, which generally vest over a three-year service period. At the end of the vesting period, the employee will have earned an amount of shares or units between 0% and 200% of the targeted award, depending on the achievement of specified financial goals for the service period. The fair value of each performance share unit is based on an unadjusted quoted market price of the Company’s common stock in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency on each measurement date (Level 1). Additional information related to performance share units is disclosed in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign exchange contracts, to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts are measured at fair value using quoted forward foreign exchange prices from counterparties corroborated by market-based pricing (Level 2). Additional information related to the Company’s derivative financial instruments is disclosed within Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Secured Convertible Note
The Company received a secured convertible note as partial consideration for the disposition of Shoes.com, as further described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The convertible note is measured at fair value using unobservable inputs (Level 3). The change in fair value during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 reflects an immaterial amount of interest income.
The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at August 1, 2015, August 2, 2014 and January 31, 2015. The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during 2014 or the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015.

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 expected 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 820, Fair Value Measurement. Long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of $82.3 million were assessed for indicators of impairment and written down to their fair value, resulting in impairment charges of $0.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. Of the $0.5 million impairment charge included in selling and administrative expenses, $0.3 million related to the Famous Footwear segment and $0.2 million related to the Brand Portfolio segment. Impairment charges of $0.9 million were included in selling and administrative expenses for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015, of which $0.5 million related to the Famous Footwear segment and $0.4 million related to the Brand Portfolio segment. Long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of $85.5 million were assessed for indicators of impairment and written down to their fair value, resulting in impairment charges of $0.4 million for the
thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014. Of the $0.4 million impairment charge included in selling and administrative expenses, $0.2 million related to the Famous Footwear segment and $0.2 million related to the Brand Portfolio segment. Impairment charges of $0.7 million were included in selling and administrative expenses for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014, of which $0.4 million related to the Famous Footwear segment and $0.3 million related to the Brand Portfolio segment.
Fair Value of the Company’s Other Financial Instruments
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents (excluding money market funds discussed above), receivables and trade accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company’s effective tax rate can vary considerably from period to period, depending on a number of factors. The Company’s consolidated effective tax rates were 26.5% and 31.4% for the thirteen weeks and 26.2% and 32.7% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively.
The Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $1.3 million during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. Of the $1.3 million of discrete tax benefits recognized, $1.2 million related to the 2014 disposition of Shoes.com, as further discussed in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The allocation of consideration received for tax purposes was finalized with the Purchaser during the second quarter, resulting in higher anticipated utilization of certain capital loss carryforwards that were previously fully reserved. If these discrete tax benefits had not been recognized during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015, the Company's effective tax rate would have been 32.0%.
The Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $2.9 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015. In addition to the items described above, during the first quarter of 2015, the Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $1.6 million, following the conversion of one of its primary operating subsidiaries to a limited liability company. If these discrete tax benefits had not been recognized during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015, the Company's effective tax rate would have been 32.1%.

Note 15 | 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. 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 workplan 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 workplan, 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 liability for the on-site remediation was discounted at 4.8%. On an undiscounted basis, the on-site remediation liability would be $15.4 million as of August 1, 2015. The Company expects to spend approximately $0.2 million in each of the next five years and $14.4 million in the aggregate thereafter related to the on-site remediation.
The cumulative expenditures for both on-site and off-site remediation through August 1, 2015 were $27.5 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 August 1, 2015 is $9.7 million, of which $9.0 million is recorded within other liabilities and $0.7 million is recorded within other accrued expenses. Of the total $9.7 million reserve, $5.0 million is for on-site remediation and $4.7 million is for off-site remediation.

The Company has completed its remediation efforts at its closed New York tannery and two associated landfills. In 1995, state environmental authorities reclassified the status of these sites as being properly closed and requiring only continued maintenance and monitoring through 2024. The Company has an accrued liability of $1.3 million at August 1, 2015 to complete the cleanup, maintenance and monitoring at these sites, which has been discounted at 6.4%. Of the $1.3 million reserve, $1.1 million is recorded in other liabilities and $0.2 million is recorded in other accrued expenses. On an undiscounted basis, this liability would be $1.8 million. The Company expects to spend approximately $0.2 million in each of the next five years and $0.8 million in the aggregate thereafter related to these sites. In addition, 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 estimated costs in conjunction with its environmental consultants and records its best estimate of such 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 generally expensed as incurred.
During 2014, the Company signed a settlement agreement to resolve a putative class action lawsuit involving wage and hour claims in California for an amount not to exceed $1.5 million. The court has granted preliminary approval of the settlement, pursuant to which the Company will pay a minimum of $1.0 million in attorneys' fees, costs of administering the settlement and settlement payments to class members who submit claims. A hearing for final approval of the settlement is scheduled for the third quarter of 2015. The reserve for this matter as of August 1, 2015 is $1.5 million.

ITEM 2 | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Our financial performance improved during the quarter, as we continued to invest in our long-term strategic growth initiatives. Sales growth in our Brand Portfolio segment and continued operating margin improvement at our Famous Footwear segment contributed to our successful second quarter results. Our Brand Portfolio segment reported a 4.4% increase in net sales, while our Famous Footwear segment reported an 8.4% increase in operating earnings for the quarter.
The following is a summary of the financial highlights for the second quarter of 2015:
| |
• | Consolidated net sales increased $1.9 million, or 0.3%, to $637.8 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $635.9 million for the second quarter of 2014. Our Brand Portfolio segment experienced continued improvement as net sales increased by $10.2 million, or 4.4%. Our Famous Footwear segment reported a decline in net sales of $8.2 million, driven by the disposition of our e-commerce subsidiary, Shoes.com, in December 2014, which contributed $10.4 million in net sales in the second quarter of 2014, partially offset by a net increase in sales from new and closed stores. |
| |
• | Consolidated operating earnings increased $4.4 million, or 14.2%, to $35.7 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $31.3 million for the second quarter of 2014. |
| |
• | We redeemed our 2019 Senior Notes and closed on the offering of our 2023 Senior Notes, reducing our interest rate from 7.125% to 6.25%. Pursuant to our cash tender offer of the 2019 Senior Notes, $160.7 million of the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount was redeemed during the second quarter. The remaining $39.3 million of 2019 Senior Notes was redeemed on August 26, 2015. We incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $8.7 million ($5.3 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.12 per diluted share) during the second quarter of 2015, reflecting the redemption of the $160.7 million of our 2019 Senior Notes prior to maturity. An additional loss of $2.0 million was incurred in the third quarter as the remaining 2019 Senior Notes were redeemed. |
| |
• | Consolidated net earnings attributable to Caleres, Inc. were $16.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015, compared to net earnings of $18.1 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014. |
Our debt-to-capital ratio, as defined herein, increased to 29.6% at August 1, 2015, compared to 28.1% at August 2, 2014 and 26.9% at January 31, 2015. The increase from August 2, 2014 and January 31, 2015 was driven by higher current maturities of long-term debt resulting from the outstanding 2019 Senior Notes, which were redeemed on August 26, 2015, as further discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Our current ratio, as defined herein, was 1.73 to 1 at August 1, 2015, compared to 1.74 to 1 at August 2, 2014 and 1.99 to 1 at January 31, 2015.
Outlook for the Remainder of 2015
During the second quarter, we continued to drive margin expansion and further strengthened our balance sheet. Based on our second quarter results, we expect consolidated net sales to be between $2.61 billion and $2.63 billion. We also expect to earn between $1.84 and $1.94 per diluted share in 2015.
Following are the consolidated results and the results by segment:

Net Sales
Net sales increased $1.9 million, or 0.3%, to $637.8 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $635.9 million for the second quarter of 2014. Net sales at our Brand Portfolio segment increased while net sales at our Famous Footwear segment decreased. Our Brand Portfolio segment reported a $10.2 million increase in net sales, driven by strong sales of our Franco Sarto, Vince, Sam Edelman and LifeStride brands during the quarter, partially offset by decreases in net sales of our Dr. Scholl's, Via Spiga and Ryka brands. Net sales of our Famous Footwear segment decreased $8.2 million, reflecting a $10.4 million decrease in sales attributable to Shoes.com, which was sold in December 2014, partially offset by the net increase in sales from new and closed stores.
Net sales increased $13.1 million, or 1.1%, to $1,240.1 million for the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to $1,227.0 million for the six months ended August 2, 2014. Net sales at our Brand Portfolio segment increased while net sales at our Famous Footwear segment decreased. Our Brand Portfolio segment reported a $28.0 million increase in net sales, driven by strong sales of our Sam Edelman, Vince, LifeStride and Dr. Scholl's brands, partially offset by a decrease in net sales of our Via Spiga and Ryka brands. Net sales of our Famous Footwear segment decreased $14.9 million, reflecting a $22.5 million decrease in sales attributable to Shoes.com, partially offset by a 1.5% increase in same-store sales.
Same-store sales changes are calculated by comparing the sales in stores that have been open at least 13 months. Relocated stores are treated as new stores, and closed stores are excluded from the calculation. Sales change from new and closed stores, net reflects the change in net sales due to stores that have been opened or closed during the period and are therefore excluded from the same-store sales calculation. E-commerce sales for those e-commerce websites that function as an extension of a retail chain are included in the same-store sales calculation.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $3.2 million, or 1.2%, to $262.8 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $259.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, reflecting higher gross profit in our Brand Portfolio segment, partially offset by a decline in the Famous Footwear segment. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 41.2% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 40.8% for the second quarter of 2014, driven by increases in both our Famous Footwear and Brand Portfolio segments, partially
offset by a higher consolidated mix of wholesale versus retail sales. Gross profit rates in our retail businesses are higher, on average, than in our wholesale business. Retail and wholesale net sales were 67% and 33%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2015, compared to 69% and 31% in the second quarter of 2014.
Gross profit increased $9.3 million, or 1.9%, to $511.3 million for the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to $502.0 million for the six months ended August 2, 2014, reflecting higher gross profit in both our Brand Portfolio and Famous Footwear segments. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 41.2% for the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to 40.9% for the six months ended August 2, 2014, driven by our Famous Footwear segment, which reported a gross profit rate of 46.0% for the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to 44.9% for the six months ended August 2, 2014, partially offset by a decline in the Brand Portfolio segment gross profit rate to 33.8% in the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to 34.1% in the six months ended August 2, 2014 and a higher consolidated mix of wholesale versus retail sales. Retail and wholesale net sales were 66% and 34%, respectively, in the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to 69% and 31% in the six months ended August 2, 2014.
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 decreased $1.2 million, or 0.6%, to $227.1 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $228.3 million in the second quarter of 2014. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 35.6% for the second quarter of 2015 from 35.9% for the second quarter of 2014.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $3.2 million, or 0.7%, to $445.2 million for the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to $442.0 million in the six months ended August 2, 2014. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 35.9% for the six months ended August 1, 2015 from 36.0% for the six months ended August 2, 2014.
Operating Earnings
Operating earnings increased $4.4 million, or 14.2%, to $35.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $31.3 million for the second quarter of 2014, reflecting higher net sales and gross profit rate and lower selling and administrative expenses, as described above. As a percentage of net sales, operating earnings improved to 5.6% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 4.9% for the second quarter of 2014.
Operating earnings increased $6.1 million, or 10.1%, to $66.1 million for the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to $60.0 million for the six months ended August 2, 2014, reflecting higher net sales and gross profit rate, as described above. As a percentage of net sales, operating earnings improved to 5.3% for the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to 4.9% for the six months ended August 2, 2014.

Interest expense decreased $0.8 million, or 15.2%, to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting lower average borrowings under our revolving credit agreement and lower fees resulting from our credit agreement amendment in the fourth quarter of 2014, as further discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Interest expense decreased $1.6 million, or 15.6%, to $8.8 million for the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to $10.4 million for the six months ended August 2, 2014, primarily reflecting the above named factors.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
Loss on early extinguishment of debt was $8.7 million for the second quarter and six months ended August 1, 2015, reflecting the redemption of a portion of our 2019 Senior Notes prior to maturity, as further discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. We incurred no corresponding charges during the second quarter or six months ended August 2, 2014. An additional loss of $2.0 million was incurred in the third quarter as the remaining 2019 Senior Notes were redeemed.
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 26.5% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 31.4% for the second quarter of 2014. We recognized discrete tax benefits of $1.3 million during the quarter. Of the $1.3 million of discrete tax benefits recognized, $1.2 million related to the 2014 disposition of Shoes.com. The allocation of consideration received for tax purposes was finalized with the buyer during the second quarter, resulting in higher anticipated utilization of certain capital loss carryforwards that were previously fully reserved.
If these discrete tax benefits had not been recognized during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015, the Company's effective tax rate would have been 32.0%.
For the six months ended August 1, 2015, our consolidated effective tax rate was 26.2%, compared to 32.7% for the six months ended August 2, 2014. The effective tax rate was lower for the six months ended August 1, 2015 as a result of $2.9 million of discrete tax benefits recognized during the period. In addition to the second quarter item described above, during the first quarter of 2015, the Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $1.6 million, following the conversion of one of its primary operating subsidiaries to a limited liability company. If these discrete tax benefits had not been recognized, our effective tax rate would have been 32.1% for the six months ended August 1, 2015.
Net Earnings
Net earnings decreased $1.2 million, or 6.5%, to $16.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $18.1 million for the second quarter of 2014, reflecting stronger operating earnings as described above, offset by the loss on early extinguishment of debt.
Net earnings increased $2.8 million, or 8.2%, to $36.3 million for the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to $33.5 million for the six months ended August 2, 2014, reflecting stronger sales and operating earnings as described above, partially offset by the loss on early extinguishment of debt.
Net Earnings Attributable to Caleres, Inc.
Net earnings attributable to Caleres, Inc. were $16.8 million and $36.1 million during the second quarter and six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to net earnings of $18.1 million and $33.5 million during the second quarter of 2014 and six months ended August 2, 2014, as a result of the factors described above.

Net Sales
Net sales decreased $8.2 million, or 2.0%, to $395.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $404.1 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was due primarily to the sale of Shoes.com in December 2014, which contributed $10.4 million of net sales in the second quarter of 2014, partially offset by a net increase in sales from new and closed stores reflecting our higher store count. Famous Footwear reported higher average unit retail prices and an improved customer conversion rate, partially offset by a decline in customer traffic in our stores. Famous Footwear experienced sales growth in canvas and athletic footwear categories. During the second quarter of 2015, we opened 10 new stores and closed 6 stores, resulting in 1,044 stores and total square footage of 7.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2015, compared to 1,035 stores and total square footage of 7.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2014. Sales per square foot, excluding e-commerce, remained consistent at $55 in both the second quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2014. On a trailing twelve month basis, sales per square foot, excluding e-commerce, increased 2.0% to $216 for the twelve months ended August 1, 2015, compared to $212 for the twelve months ended August 2, 2014. Members of our customer loyalty program, Rewards, continue to account for a majority of the segment’s sales, with approximately 73% of our net sales made to members of our Rewards program in the second quarter of 2015, compared to approximately 72% in the second quarter of 2014.
Net sales decreased $14.9 million, or 1.9%, to $755.9 million for the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to $770.8 million for the six months ended August 2, 2014. The decrease was due primarily to the sale of Shoes.com, which contributed $22.5 million of net sales in the six months ended August 2, 2014, and the net decline in sales from new and closed stores, partially offset by a
1.5% increase in same-store sales. Famous Footwear reported higher average unit retail prices and an improved customer conversion rate, partially offset by a decline in customer traffic in our stores. Famous Footwear experienced sales growth in athletic, canvas and boot categories.

Net Sales
Net sales increased $10.2 million, or 4.4%, to $242.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $231.8 million for the second quarter of 2014. The increase reflects strength in many of our brands including Franco Sarto, Vince, Sam Edelman and LifeStride brands, partially offset by decreases in our Dr. Scholl's, Via Spiga and Ryka brands. Our retail stores were impacted by a lower Canadian dollar exchange rate, a decline in same-store sales of 5.2% and a lower store count. During the second quarter of 2015, we opened one store and closed three stores, resulting in a total of 163 stores and total square footage of 0.3 million at the end of the second quarter of 2015, compared to 170 stores and total square footage of 0.3 million at the end of the second quarter of 2014.

During the six months ended August 1, 2015, we opened one store and closed nine stores. Sales per square foot, excluding e-commerce, decreased 9.1% to $171 for the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to $189 for the six months ended August 2, 2014.

As a percentage of net sales, our gross profit was 34.4% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 33.9% for the second quarter of 2014.

Total debt obligations of $239.2 million at August 1, 2015, increased $40.1 million compared to $199.1 million at August 2, 2014 and increased $40.0 million compared to $199.2 million at January 31, 2015, of which $39.3 million represents the remaining 2019 Senior Notes not tendered in the tender offer and redeemed in August 2015. As a result of lower average borrowings under our Credit Agreement and lower fees resulting from the amendment of the Credit Agreement in the fourth quarter of 2014, interest expense for the second quarter of 2015 decreased $0.8 million to $4.3 million, compared to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2014 and decreased $1.6 million to $8.8 million for the six months ended August 1, 2015, compared to $10.4 million for the six months ended August 2, 2014.
At August 1, 2015, we had no borrowings outstanding and $6.3 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Total borrowing availability was $593.7 million at August 1, 2015. We were in compliance with all covenants and restrictions under the Credit Agreement as of August 1, 2015.
$200 Million Senior Notes
As further discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, on July 20, 2015, we commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of our 2019 Senior Notes. The tender offer expired on July 24, 2015 and $160.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Senior Notes were tendered. The remaining $39.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2019 Senior Notes were redeemed in August 2015. During the second quarter, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $8.7 million, comprised of the tender offer and call premiums, and the unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount associated with the portion of the 2019 Senior Notes that was redeemed prior to quarter-end. Of the $8.7 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, approximately $2.4 million was non-cash.
On July 27, 2015, we closed on the offering of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Senior Notes in a private placement. The 2023 Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the subsidiaries of Caleres, Inc. that is an obligor under the Credit Agreement. The 2023 Senior Notes bear interest at 6.25%, which is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year beginning on February 15, 2016. The 2023 Senior Notes mature on August 15, 2023. Prior to August 15, 2018, we may redeem some or all of the 2023 Senior Notes at various redemption prices.
The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $196.3 million after deducting fees and expenses associated with the offering. We used the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to redeem the outstanding 2019 Senior Notes.
The 2023 Senior Notes also contain certain covenants and restrictions that limit certain activities including, among other things, levels of indebtedness, payments of dividends, the guarantee or pledge of assets, certain investments, common stock repurchases, mergers and acquisitions and sales of assets. As of August 1, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants and restrictions relating to the 2023 Senior Notes.
Subsequent Event - On August 26, 2015, we redeemed the remaining $39.3 million of outstanding 2019 Senior Notes and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million, of which approximately $0.6 million was non-cash.

Reasons for the major variances in cash provided (used) in the table above are as follows:
Cash provided by operating activities was $34.8 million higher in the six months ended August 1, 2015 as compared to the six months ended August 2, 2014, reflecting the following factors:
| |
• | A larger increase in trade accounts payable in the six months ended August 1, 2015 compared to the comparable period in 2014 due to the timing of payments; |
| |
• | A smaller increase in inventories in the six months ended August 1, 2015 compared to the comparable period in 2014, and |
| |
• | Higher net earnings (adjusted for non-operating activities); partially offset by |
| |
• | A decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the six months ended August 1, 2015 driven by the payment of our cash-based incentive plans compared to an increase in the six months ended August 2, 2014; |
Cash used for investing activities was $70.8 million lower in the six months ended August 1, 2015, as compared to the comparable period in 2014 due primarily to the $65.1 million acquisition of the Franco Sarto trademarks in the first quarter of 2014 and the $7.1 million in proceeds from disposal of property and equipment related to the sale of a building at our Corporate headquarters. These variances were partially offset by higher purchases of property and equipment in the six months ended August 1, 2015, driven by leasehold improvements associated with the relocation of one of our leased office facilities in New York City. For fiscal 2015, we expect purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software of approximately $75 million.
Cash used for financing activities was $7.0 million higher for the six months ended August 1, 2015 as compared to the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to the acquisition of treasury stock in the first quarter of 2015, debt issuance costs associated with the offering of the 2023 Senior Notes in the second quarter of 2015 and an increase in common stock issued under share-based plans, partially offset by a decrease in net repayments under our revolving credit agreement.
A summary of key financial data and ratios at the dates indicated is as follows:

(1) | Working capital has been computed as total current assets less total current liabilities. |
| |
(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 current portion) and borrowings under the revolving credit agreement. Total capitalization is defined as total debt and total shareholders’ equity. |
Working capital at August 1, 2015 was $419.3 million, which was $25.5 million higher than at January 31, 2015 and $51.0 million higher than at August 2, 2014. Our current ratio decreased to 1.73 to 1 as of August 1, 2015, compared to 1.99 to 1 at January 31, 2015, and 1.74 to 1 at August 2, 2014. The increase in working capital from January 31, 2015 to August 1, 2015 reflects higher cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash), higher inventory levels and a decrease in other accrued expenses driven by the payment of our cash-based incentive plans in the first quarter of 2015, partially offset by an increase in trade accounts payable
and the current portion of long-term debt. The decrease in the current ratio from January 31, 2015 to August 1, 2015 is primarily attributable to higher trade accounts payable and current portion of long-term debt, partially offset by higher cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) and higher inventory levels in the six months ended August 1, 2015. The increase in working capital from August 2, 2014 to August 1, 2015 reflects higher cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) and an increase in receivables, partially offset by higher trade accounts payable, an increase in the current portion of long-term debt and lower inventory levels. Our debt-to-capital ratio was 29.6% as of August 1, 2015, compared to 26.9% as of January 31, 2015 and 28.1% as of August 2, 2014. The increase in our debt-to-capital ratio from January 31, 2015 and August 2, 2014 reflects a higher current portion of long-term debt due to the 2019 Senior Notes that were called during the second quarter of 2015 but were not redeemed until the third quarter.
At August 1, 2015, we had $129.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, the majority of which represents cash and cash equivalents of our foreign subsidiaries. In accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines limiting the length of time that our parent company can borrow funds from foreign subsidiaries, the Company utilizes the cash and cash equivalents of its foreign subsidiaries to manage the liquidity needs of the consolidated company and minimize interest expense on a consolidated basis. We also had $41.5 million of restricted cash at August 1, 2015, representing deposits with the trustee for the redemption of the remaining 2019 Senior Notes outstanding at quarter-end.
We declared and paid dividends of $0.07 per share in both the second quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2014. 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.
Our contractual obligations primarily consist of purchase obligations, operating lease commitments, long-term debt, interest on long-term debt, minimum license commitments, borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, obligations for our supplemental executive retirement plan and other postretirement benefits and obligations related to our restructuring initiatives.
Except for changes within the normal course of business (primarily changes in purchase obligations, which fluctuate throughout the year as a result of the seasonal nature of our operations, borrowings under and repayments of our revolving credit agreement, changes to current portion of long-term debt associated with the redemption of our 2019 Senior Notes, and changes in operating lease commitments as a result of new stores, store closures and lease renewals), there have been no other significant changes to our contractual obligations identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2015.

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 internal control reviews 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 August 1, 2015, 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.
There were no significant changes to internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 1, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
We are 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 will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. All legal costs associated with litigation are expensed as incurred.
Information regarding Legal Proceedings is set forth within Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and incorporated by reference herein.
No material changes have occurred related to our risk factors since the end of the most recent fiscal year. For further information, see Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2015.

(1) | On August 25, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 2.5 million shares of our outstanding common stock. We can use the repurchase program to repurchase shares on the open market or in private transactions from time to time, depending on market conditions. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date. Under this plan, 151,500 shares were repurchased during the first quarter of 2015; therefore, there were 2.3 million shares authorized to be purchased under the program as of August 1, 2015. Our repurchases of common stock are limited under our debt agreements. |
| |
(2) | Includes shares that were tendered by employees related to certain share-based awards. The shares related to employee share-based awards were tendered in satisfaction of the exercise price of stock options and/or to satisfy minimum tax withholding amounts for non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and stock performance awards. Accordingly, these share purchases are not considered a part of our publicly announced stock repurchase program. |
