**SHOE CARNIVAL REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2025 RESULTS**

*September 4, 2025*

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*

FORT MILL, SC - Shoe Carnival, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCVL) (the "Company"), a leading retailer of footwear and accessories for the family, today reported results for the second quarter ended August 2, 2025 and updated its Fiscal 2025 outlook.

**Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 and Back-to-School Highlights** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Delivered $0.70 EPS, beating consensus by over 20 percent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Expanded gross profit margin 270 basis points to 38.8 percent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Achieved positive comparable sales and margin expansion during August Back-to-School.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Shoe Station rebanner strategy delivered 8 percent comparable sales growth through year-to-date August.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Grew cash double digits through fiscal August with zero debt, positioned to fund growth.

"Our second quarter results demonstrate meaningful progress, with profits beating consensus by double digits and gross margins reaching 38.8 percent - our strongest Q2 margin performance in years," said Mark Worden, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we moved into Back-to-School in early August, our execution hit a higher level. We delivered positive comparable store sales for the Company and margin expansion across all banners during the period that drives approximately 25 percent of our annual profits. This return to growth during our highest-stakes season - ahead of our projected timeline - validates that our transformation is accelerating."

Worden continued, "Our rebanner strategy continues to deliver strong results. Through year-to-date August, the Shoe Station banner is outperforming the Shoe Carnival banner by a wide margin, with margins up sharply over last year. Our debt-free balance sheet with strong cash reserves allows us to invest aggressively in this proven model while remaining ready for strategic opportunities. By Back-to-School 2026, Shoe Station will be our majority concept, positioning us for sustained growth with a higher-income customer base, stronger margins, and improved returns."<br>

**Shoe Station Growth Strategy**

As of August 2, 2025, the Company operated 428 stores: 313 Shoe Carnival stores, 87 Shoe Station stores, and 28 Rogan's stores. The Shoe Station store count has more than doubled since second quarter 2024.

The Company completed 20 rebanner conversions during second quarter 2025, bringing year-to-date conversions to 44 stores. An additional 58 stores are expected to rebanner in the second half of fiscal 2025 (29 in third quarter and 29 in fourth quarter), bringing the total to 145 Shoe Station stores by

------

year-end - representing 34 percent of the fleet. This positions the Company to surpass 215 Shoe Station stores by Back-to-School 2026, achieving the critical 51 percent threshold where expected portfolio growth overtakes legacy declines.

The rebanner strategy delivered strong financial returns through year-to-date August compared to the same period last year including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Comparable sales increasing high-single digits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Rebanner margins expanding 270 basis points.

First-year rebanner investments of approximately $25 million are expected to impact fiscal 2025 operating income, with $0.36 of EPS impact incurred year-to-date. Payback of these investments is expected within two to three years.

**Second Quarter Operating Results** 

Gross profit margin reached 38.8 percent in second quarter 2025, expanding 270 basis points from 36.1 percent in the prior year. This margin expansion demonstrated the power of the Company's rebanner strategy. Merchandise margin improved 390 basis points driven by disciplined pricing across all banners, a favorable mix shift toward merchandise preferred by Shoe Station's higher-income customers, and strategic inventory investments. This more than offset 120 basis points of deleverage in buying, distribution and occupancy costs.

Net sales were $306.4 million compared to $332.7 million in second quarter 2024, a decrease of 7.9 percent. Comparable sales declined 7.5 percent, including a high-single digit decline at Shoe Carnival and break-even results at Shoe Station.

By banner, second quarter 2025 divergent trends reinforced the rebanner strategy:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Shoe Station net sales grew 1.6 percent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Shoe Carnival net sales declined 10.1 percent as the sub-$40,000 income consumer remained pressured.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Rogan's exceeded $20 million in net sales, in line with integration plans.

Net income was $19.2 million, or $0.70 per diluted share ("EPS"), compared to $22.6 million, or $0.82 per diluted share in the prior year. The Company estimates second quarter 2025 EPS included a $0.21 negative impact from rebanner investments while first quarter 2025 EPS included a $0.15 negative impact.

The rebanner investments in second quarter 2025 included an estimated 1 percent decline in net sales from stores temporarily closed during rebanner conversions and a 2 percent increase in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") as a percent of net sales for store closing costs, additional depreciation, customer acquisition costs and other costs.

**Back-to-School Performance Update**

Fiscal August performance accelerated significantly, with the Company achieving positive comparable sales versus prior year - a significant improvement from second quarter trends and ahead of the Company's projected timeline for returning to growth.

------

By banner, fiscal August delivered strong results:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Shoe Station grew comparable sales high-single digits, driven by high-single digit growth in the children's category and low-twenties growth in the adult athletics category with margin expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Shoe Carnival achieved positive children's category comparable sales with margin growth while maintaining discipline in other categories.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Rogan's also achieved comparable sales growth, in line with integration plans.

**Balance Sheet Strength**

The Company ended second quarter 2025 debt-free, and consistent with the last 20 consecutive years, fully funded its operations and growth investments from operating cash flow. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $91.9 million.

Inventory increased 5 percent versus prior year, a strategic investment that delivered significantly improved availability on key items during Back-to-School. This availability directly contributed to margin expansion and sales capture during this peak selling period. The Company expects inventory levels to normalize during 2026 as supply chain visibility improves.

Capital expenditures totaled $24.4 million year-to-date, primarily for the 44 completed rebanner conversions. The Company has $50 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization.

The Company had approximately $148 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of August fiscal month end, an increase of over 10 percent compared to the same time last year. This increase was largely due to a successful August Back-to-School that generated over $55 million in cash, providing ample liquidity for continued rebanner investments and strategic opportunities.

**Fiscal 2025 Outlook**

Based on second quarter results exceeding market expectations, Back-to-School results, and rebanner momentum continuing, the Company now expects the following for fiscal 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Net Sales: $1.12 billion to $1.15 billion, compared to the previous range of $1.15 billion to $1.23 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•GAAP EPS: $1.70 to $2.10, an increase in the lower end of the range of $0.10.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Gross Profit Margin: 36.5 percent to 37.5 percent, a 150-basis point increase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•SG&A: $355 million to $360 million, inclusive of increased rebanner investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Capital Expenditures: $45 to $55 million, inclusive of $30 to $35 million for rebanners.

The Company's outlook anticipates that sales declines will slow in the second half of the year, with the midpoint implying a 3 percent decline versus the 7.7 percent year-to-date decline. This improvement reflects the rebanner strategy's momentum and strong event period performance, including August's positive comparable sales. As Shoe Station grows, the Company expects its gains will increasingly offset Shoe Carnival's challenges. The wide EPS range reflects macro uncertainty and expected traffic volatility outside key selling periods.
