SHOE STATION GROUP INC (SCVL) Form 10-Q — Sep 10, 2026
Shoe Station Group's second quarter net sales fell 7.2% to $284.3 million as comparable store sales dropped 7.1%, and net income fell to $6.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, from $19.2 million, or $0.70, a year earlier. Gross margin compressed 690 basis points to 31.9% on heavier promotional activity, liquidation of aged inventory, and the lapping of prior-year pre-tariff price increases. First-half results were nearly breakeven at $0.6 million of net income versus $28.6 million last year, weighed down by $13.6 million of first-quarter charges tied to the CEO transition and strategic review after Mark Worden's February 2026 departure.
