Fourth quarter sales knock Caleres

22/03/2016
Footwear group Caleres, formerly Brown Shoe, has reported a 2% rise in sales for 2015 to $2.6 billion.

Its CEO, Diane Sullivan, said the fourth quarter had been difficult. “We cut through the noise in the marketplace during the holiday season and delivered improved gross and operating margin, while maintaining our inventory position," she said.

The company expects the fourth-quarter challenges to continue into the first half of this year.
