Acquisition of Shoe Station

Note 3 – Acquisition of Shoe Station

On December 3, 2021, we acquired the physical stores and substantially all of the other assets of Shoe Station for total consideration of $70.3 million, net of $77,000 of cash acquired. The purchase price paid was funded with available cash on hand. As of our Fiscal 2023 year end, we operated 28 stores across six states in the Southeast under the Shoe Station banner, inclusive of the 21 stores acquired and seven additional stores opened since the acquisition. The addition of a new brand and new retail locations to the Shoe Carnival portfolio has created a complementary retail platform for us to serve a broader base of family footwear customers in both urban and suburban demographics.

The results of Shoe Station are included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. Net Sales attributed to the Shoe Station banner were $104.5 million and $99.9 million in Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, respectively, and $16.6 million from the acquisition date through January 29, 2022. Acquisition-related costs of $3.2 million were expensed as incurred and are included in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income in Fiscal 2021.

We are treating Shoe Station trade names as indefinite-lived Intangible Assets; therefore, Goodwill and the Shoe Station trade names are charged to expense only if impaired. Goodwill and the indefinite-lived Intangible Assets are expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes over 15 years.
