<p class="has-drop-cap">Shoe Carnival, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCVL) recently reported its <a href="https://investors.shoecarnival.com/news/news-details/2024/Shoe-Carnival-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Fiscal-2023-Results/default.aspx" target="_blank" aria-label="financial outcomes (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">financial outcomes</a> for the fourth quarter and the overall fiscal year ending February 3, 2024.</p> 
<p>The company, headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, highlighted a promising close to the fiscal year, with net sales reaching $280.2 million for the quarter, aligning with the upper end of their forecasts.</p> 
<p>This performance, driven by robust sales during the critical December holiday period, underscores Shoe Carnival’s effective strategy and operational efficiency despite a slight 3.6% decline compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Furthermore, the company continued its streak of impressive gross profit margins, exceeding 35% for the 12th consecutive quarter. <br><br>However, a slight dip to 35.6% was noted due to lower merchandise margins and other factors.</p> 
<h3 id="shoe-carnival-inc-reports-0-59-adjusted-eps-for-q4-in-line-with-expectations">Shoe Carnival Inc. Reports $0.59 Adjusted EPS for Q4, in line with Expectations</h3> 
<p>Comparatively, the company’s achievements in the latest quarter slightly fell short of Wall Street expectations, which had anticipated an <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">EPS</a> of $0.59 and revenue of $279.81 million. Shoe Carnival reported a GAAP EPS of $0.57 and adjusted EPS of $0.59, meeting the mid-range of its EPS guidance. <br><br>The slight variance in revenue, albeit minor, illustrates the challenges the retail sector faces amidst fluctuating consumer trends and other external pressures. <br><br>Despite these hurdles, Shoe Carnival’s strategic focus and disciplined approach to inventory management allowed for a commendable performance, with inventory levels ending at $43.9 million or 11.3% lower than the previous year, signaling efficient operations and readiness for future growth.</p>
