Item 8.01. Other Events.

The Company has announced that it has changed its management reporting and segment presentation to better align with its developing business model. The Company will continue to present two reportable segments: Famous Footwear and Brand Portfolio. Beginning with the first quarter of 2019, the Company will present the net sales of the Brand Portfolio segment inclusive of both external and intersegment sales, with the elimination of intersegment sales and profit from Brand Portfolio to Famous Footwear reflected within the “Eliminations and Other" category. This change reflects the independent business models of both Brand Portfolio and Famous Footwear, as well as growth in intersegment activity driven by recent acquisitions. In 2018, the Company acquired the Blowfish Malibu and Vionic businesses, both of which are brands sold to its Famous Footwear segment. The Company’s first quarter 2019 results will reflect the new presentation, and prior year amounts have been recast to conform to the new presentation. There is no change to the consolidated financial results.

The supplemental information included in Exhibit 99.1 updates the Company’s unaudited historical business segment information for 2017 and 2018 to reflect the change in reportable operating segments. The change in segments will be reflected retrospectively; however, there is no impact on the Company’s previously reported consolidated balance sheets, or consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity.

On May 22, 2019, the Company issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing the segment change and historical results for fiscal years 2017 and 2018. A copy of the Press Release is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, and the statements contained therein are incorporated by reference herein.
