Basis of Presentation and General | Note 1 Basis of Presentation and General 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. ("the Company"). 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 holiday season sales. Although the third fiscal quarter has historically accounted for a substantial portion of the Company’s earnings for the year, the Company has experienced more equal distribution among the quarters in recent years. 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. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2024. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ​ Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements result from the accounting for noncontrolling interests in partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries or affiliates. In 2019, the Company entered into a joint venture with Brand Investment Holding Limited (“Brand Investment Holding”), a member of the Gemkell Group, to sell Sam Edelman, Naturalizer and other branded footwear in China. The Company and Brand Investment Holding are each 50% owners of the joint venture, which is named CLT Brand Solutions (“CLT”). During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2024, capital contributions of $2.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, were made to CLT, including $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, received from Brand Investment Holding. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2023, capital contributions of $2.0 million were made to CLT, including $1.0 million received from Brand Investment Holding. Net sales and operating (loss) earnings of CLT for the periods ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023 were as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | Thirteen Weeks Ended | ​ | Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
($ thousands) |  | November 2, 2024 |  | October 28, 2023 | ​ | November 2, 2024 |  | October 28, 2023
Net sales | ​ | $ | 6,964 | ​ | $ | 6,810 | ​ | $ | 22,784 | ​ | $ | 19,675
Operating (loss) earnings | ​ |  | (750) | ​ |  | 229 | ​ |  | (363) | ​ |  | 1,327
​ The Company consolidates CLT into its condensed consolidated financial statements on a one-month lag. Net (loss) earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the share of net earnings that is attributable to Brand Investment Holding. Transactions between the Company and the joint venture have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Supplier Finance Program The Company facilitates a voluntary supplier finance program (“the Program”) that provides certain of the Company’s suppliers the opportunity to sell receivables related to products that the Company has purchased to participating financial institutions at a rate that leverages the Company’s credit rating, which may be more beneficial to the suppliers than the rate they can obtain based upon their own credit rating. The Company negotiates payment and other terms directly with the suppliers, regardless of whether the supplier participates in the Program, and the Company’s responsibility is limited to making payment based on the terms originally negotiated with the supplier. The suppliers that participate in the Program have discretion to determine which invoices, if any, are sold to the participating financial institutions. The liabilities to the suppliers that participate in the Program are presented as accounts payable in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes reflected within cash flows from operating activities when settled. As of November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, the Company had $17.2 million and $25.0 million, respectively, of accounts payable subject to the Program arrangements. ​ P roperty and Equipment, Held for Sale The Company continues to actively market for sale its nine-acre corporate headquarters campus (the “Campus”) located in Clayton, Missouri and, as of November 2, 2024, was engaged in discussions with a few potential buyers. The Company expects the Campus to qualify as a completed sale within the next year. Accordingly, the Campus, primarily consisting of land and buildings, has been classified as property and equipment, held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 2, 2024 within the Eliminations and Other category. The Company evaluated the Campus asset group for impairment and determined that no indicators were present as of November 2, 2024. ​ Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) Implementation The Company is in the process of a multi-year cloud-based ERP implementation. The wholesale and financial modules of the implementation went live in the second quarter of 2024. Other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets includes $20.3 million and $8.8 million as of November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively, for capitalized costs associated with this implementation.
