cautionary notice regarding forward-looking statements
Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include certain forward-looking statements, which include statements regarding our intent, belief or expectations and all statements other than those made solely with respect to historical fact. Actual results could differ materially from those reflected by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and a number of factors may adversely affect the forward-looking statements and our future results, liquidity, capital resources or prospects. These include, but are not limited to, adjustments to projections reflected in forward-looking statements, including those resulting from weakness in store and shopping mall traffic, restrictions on operations imposed by government entities and/or landlords, changes in public safety and health requirements and limitations on our ability to adequately staff and operate stores. Differences from expectations could also result from store closures and effects on the business as a result of civil disturbances; our ability to obtain from suppliers products that are in-demand on a timely basis and effectively manage disruptions in product supply or distribution, including disruptions as a result of pandemics or geopolitical events; the level of consumer spending on our merchandise and interest in our brands and in general, the level and timing of promotional activity necessary to maintain inventories at appropriate levels; our ability to pass on price increases to our customers; the timing and amount of any share repurchases by us; the imposition of tariffs on products imported by us or our vendors as well as the ability and costs to move production of products in response to tariffs; unfavorable trends in fuel costs, foreign exchange rates, foreign labor and material costs; a disruption in shipping or increase in cost of our imported products, and other factors affecting the cost of products; our dependence on third-party vendors and licensors for the products we sell; our ability to renew our license agreements; the effects of the British decision to exit the European Union, impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war, and other sources of market weakness in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland; the effectiveness of our omnichannel initiatives; costs associated with changes in minimum wage and overtime requirements; wage pressure in the U.S. and the U.K.; labor shortages; the effects of inflation; the evolving regulatory landscape related to our use of social media; the establishment and protection of our intellectual property; weakness in the consumer economy and retail industry; competition and fashion trends in our markets, including trends with respect to the popularity of casual and dress footwear; any failure to increase sales at our existing stores, given our high fixed expense cost structure, and in our e-commerce businesses; risks related to the potential for terrorist events; changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers; changes in consumer preferences; our ability to continue to complete and integrate acquisitions; our ability to expand our business and diversify our product base; impairment of goodwill in connection with acquisitions; payment related risks that could increase our operating cost, expose us to fraud or theft, subject us to potential liability and disrupt our business; retained liabilities associated with divestitures of businesses including potential liabilities under leases as the prior tenant or as a guarantor of certain leases; and changes in the timing of holidays or in the onset of seasonal weather affecting period-to-period sales comparisons. Additional factors that could cause differences from expectations include our ability to secure allocations to refine product assortments to address consumer demand; the ability to renew leases in existing stores and control or lower occupancy costs, to open or close stores in the number and on the planned schedule, and to conduct required remodeling or refurbishment on schedule and at expected expense levels; our ability to realize anticipated cost savings, including rent savings; our ability to make our occupancy costs more variable; realize any anticipated tax benefits in both the amount and timeframe anticipated, and achieve expected digital gains and gain market share; deterioration in the performance of individual businesses or of our market value relative to our book value, resulting in impairments of fixed assets, operating lease right of use assets or intangible assets or other adverse financial consequences and the timing and amount of such impairments or other consequences; unexpected changes to the market for our shares or for the retail sector in general; our ability to meet our sustainability, stewardship, emission and diversity, equity and inclusion related ESG projections, goals and commitments; costs and reputational harm as a result of disruptions in our business or information technology systems either by security breaches and incidents or by potential problems associated with the implementation of new or upgraded systems, and the cost and outcome of litigation, investigations and environmental matters that involve us. For a full discussion of risk factors, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors".
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as such statements speak only as of the date they were made and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events or results described in the forward-looking statements. The most important factors which could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements are set forth in our description of risk factors in Item 1A contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023, which should be read in conjunction with the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
The events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements.
We maintain a website at www.genesco.com where investors and other interested parties may obtain, free of charge, press releases and other information as well as gain access to our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes for Fiscal 2023, which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2023. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained in this report are unaudited but reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods of the fiscal year ending February 3, 2024 ("Fiscal 2024"), which is a 53-week year, and of the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023 ("Fiscal 2023"). All subsidiaries are consolidated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements.

Goodwill Valuation (Genesco Brands Group)
We are currently in communication with a licensor regarding renewal of a Genesco Brands Group license. The carrying value of the Togast Goodwill within the Genesco Brands Group assumes current licenses are renewed in normal course. In the event a material license is not renewed, that may be considered an indicator of impairment and requiring assessment whether it is “more likely than not” that an impairment has occurred.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This section discusses management’s view of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. This section should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023, including the Risk Factors section, and information contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes to those financial statements. The results of operations for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim period or the entire fiscal year.
Summary of Results of Operations
Our net sales decreased 7.2% to $483.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to $520.7 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The sales decrease compared to last year's first quarter was driven by decreased store sales in Journeys Group, decreased wholesale sales and the unfavorable impact of $8.3 million in sales due primarily to foreign exchange pressure on the Schuh business from the strengthening dollar, partially offset by a 5% increase in e-commerce sales and strong store performance at Schuh and Johnston & Murphy. Journeys Group sales decreased 13% and Genesco Brands Group sales decreased 25%, or $11.7 million, while Schuh Group sales increased 6% and Johnston & Murphy Group sales increased 16% for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. Schuh's sales increased 13% on a local currency basis for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Total comparable sales decreased 5% for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, with same store sales down 8% and comparable direct sales up 8%.
Gross margin decreased 9.0% to $228.8 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 from $251.4 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 and decreased as a percentage of net sales from 48.3% to 47.3%. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales reflects decreased gross margin in Journeys Group due primarily to a more normalized promotional environment and increased markdowns, which offset improved gross margin as a percentage of sales in each of our other operating business units.
Selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 increased 3.3% and increased as a percentage of net sales from 46.8% to 52.0%, reflecting increased expenses as a percentage of net sales in all of our operating business units except Johnston & Murphy Group. The overall increase in expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects the deleverage of expenses, especially compensation expense, selling salaries and occupancy expense as a result of decreased revenue in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024.
Operating margin was (4.8%) in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to 1.6% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 reflecting decreased operating margin in Journeys Group and Genesco Brands Group, partially offset by improved margin in Schuh Group and Johnston & Murphy Group. The decrease in operating margin for the first quarter this year compared to the first quarter last year was driven by decreased net sales, decreased gross margin and increased expenses as percentage of net sales.
The effective income tax rate decreased from 36.7% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 to 23.7% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $1.60 per share in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.37 per share in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We discuss our critical accounting estimates in Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023. There have been no other significant changes in our definition of significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since the end of Fiscal 2023.
Key Performance Indicators
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key performance indicators we use to evaluate the financial condition and operating performance of our business are comparable sales, net sales, gross margin, operating income and operating margin. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the U.S. GAAP financial measures presented herein. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled performance indicators used by other companies.
15
Comparable Sales
We consider comparable sales to be an important indicator of our current performance, and investors may find it useful as such. Comparable sales results are important to achieve leveraging of our costs, including occupancy, selling salaries, depreciation, etc. Comparable sales also have a direct impact on our total net revenue, cash and working capital. We define "comparable sales" as sales from stores open longer than one year, beginning with the first day a store has comparable sales (which we refer to as "same store sales"), and sales from websites operated longer than one year and direct mail catalog sales (which we refer to in this report as "comparable direct sales"). Temporarily closed stores are excluded from the comparable sales calculation if closed for more than seven days. Expanded stores are excluded from the comparable sales calculation until the first day an expanded store has comparable prior year sales. Current year foreign exchange rates are applied to both current year and prior year comparable sales to achieve a consistent basis for comparison. We have disclosed comparable sales for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 but did not disclose comparable sales for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related extensive store closures during the first quarter of Fiscal 2022. We believe that overall sales is a more meaningful metric during the first quarter of Fiscal 2023.
Results of Operations – First Quarter of Fiscal 2024 Compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 2023
Our net sales decreased 7.2% to $483.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to $520.7 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The sales decrease compared to last year's first quarter was driven by decreased store sales in Journeys Group, decreased wholesale sales and the unfavorable impact of $8.3 million in sales due primarily to foreign exchange pressure on the Schuh business from the strengthening dollar, partially offset by a 5% increase in e-commerce sales and strong store performance at Schuh and Johnston & Murphy. Journeys Group sales decreased 13% and Genesco Brands Group sales decreased 25%, or $11.7 million, while Schuh Group sales increased 6% and Johnston & Murphy Group sales increased 16% for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. Schuh's sales increased 13% on a local currency basis for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024.
Gross margin decreased 9.0% to $228.8 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 from $251.4 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 and decreased as a percentage of net sales from 48.3% to 47.3%. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales reflects decreased gross margin in Journeys Group due primarily to a more normalized promotional environment and increased markdowns, which offset improved gross margin as a percentage of sales in each of our other operating business units.
Selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 increased 3.3% and increased as a percentage of net sales from 46.8% to 52.0%, reflecting increased expenses as a percentage of net sales in all of our operating business units except Johnston & Murphy Group. The overall increase in expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects the deleverage of expenses, especially compensation expense, selling salaries and occupancy expense as a result of decreased revenue in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Explanations of the changes in results of operations are provided by business segment in discussions following these introductory paragraphs.
The loss from continuing operations before income taxes (“pretax loss”) for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 was $24.7 million compared to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes ("pretax earnings") of $7.9 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The pretax loss for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 included asset impairments and other charges of $0.3 million for asset impairments. Pretax earnings for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 included an asset impairment and other gain of $0.3 million for a gain on the termination of the pension plan, partially offset by asset impairments.
We recorded an effective income tax rate of 23.7% and 36.7% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively. The lower tax rate for the first quarter this year compared to the first quarter last year reflects a reduction in the amount of foreign losses for which we are unable to recognize a tax benefit.
The net loss in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 was $18.9 million, or $1.60 diluted loss per share compared to net earnings in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 of $4.9 million, or $0.37 diluted earnings per share.

Net sales from Journeys Group decreased 13.4% to $272.2 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, compared to $314.4 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 primarily due to a total comparable sales decrease of 14% driven by decreased store sales partially offset by increased digital sales, and a 1% decrease in the average number of stores in the first quarter this year. The Journeys consumer, already pressured by inflation, did not respond to the change of seasons as we had anticipated as we shifted away from boots to spring merchandise, continuing instead to trade down to lower price points and take advantage of the abundance of discounted athletic product elsewhere in the market. In addition, Journeys saw lower store traffic and demand for select key styles during the first quarter this year. We are working diligently with our brands to reposition our product assortment at Journeys to meet the customer's appetite for newness. We expect to close more than 100 Journeys stores in Fiscal 2024 versus prior expectations to close 60 stores. In addition, we continue to conduct a holistic review of our cost structure. We expect to realize significant cost savings mostly from Journeys Group in Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025. Journeys Group operated 1,115 stores at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, including 232 Journeys Kidz stores, 42 Journeys stores in Canada and 34 Little Burgundy stores in Canada, compared to 1,130 stores at the end of the first quarter of last year, including 229 Journeys Kidz stores, 47 Journeys stores in Canada and 36 Little Burgundy stores in Canada.
Journeys Group had an operating loss of $18.4 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to operating income of $14.9 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The $33.3 million decrease in operating income for Journeys Group was due to (i) decreased net sales, (ii) decreased gross margin as a percentage of net sales reflecting increased markdowns with a more normalized promotional environment and (iii) increased selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales reflecting the deleverage of expenses, especially occupancy expense, selling salaries and compensation expense as a result of the decreased revenue in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024.

Net sales from Schuh Group increased 5.6% to $93.1 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to $88.2 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, primarily due to increased total comparable sales of 13% driven by increased store sales and e-commerce sales, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of $6.8 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Schuh Group sales set a record for first quarter sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Schuh's sales increased 13% on a local currency basis for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Schuh Group operated 123 stores at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, compared to 122 stores at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2023.
Schuh Group had an operating loss of $1.8 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to an operating loss of $2.7 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The 34.8% improvement compared to last year's loss in Schuh Group reflects (i) increased net sales and (ii) increased gross margin as a percentage of net sales reflecting decreased shipping and warehouse expense and improved pricing. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, reflecting increased selling salaries, professional fees and compensation expense, partially offset by decreased occupancy expense. In addition, the operating loss included a favorable impact of $0.2 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates compared to last year.

Johnston & Murphy Group net sales increased 16.3% to $82.6 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 from $71.0 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, primarily due to a 19% increase in comparable sales, with increases in both store sales and e-commerce sales and increased wholesale sales. Johnston & Murphy has repositioned the brand to offer more casual and comfortable footwear and apparel and it continues to resonate well with its consumers in this post-pandemic environment which has fueled top line double-digit growth for nine consecutive quarters. Johnston & Murphy Group sales set a record for first quarter sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Retail operations accounted for 72.9% of Johnston & Murphy Group's sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, up from 70.5% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The store count for Johnston & Murphy retail operations at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 was 158 stores, including six stores in Canada, compared to 162 stores, including seven stores in Canada, at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2023.
Johnston & Murphy Group operating income of $4.8 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 increased $4.2 million compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The increase was primarily due to (i) increased net sales, (ii) increased gross margin as a percentage of net sales reflecting decreased airfreight costs, partially offset by increased warehouse costs and (iii) decreased selling and administrative expenses due to greater leverage of expenses as a result of revenue growth, especially decreased occupancy expense and selling salaries, partially offset by increased performance-based compensation expense.

Genesco Brands' net sales decreased 24.9%, or $11.7 million, to $35.4 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 from $47.1 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 primarily due to higher sell-in last year as retailers were replenishing inventory due to supply chain constraints.
Genesco Brands' operating loss was essentially breakeven in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to operating income of $3.8 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The $3.8 million decrease in operating income was primarily due to (i) decreased net sales and (ii) increased selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales reflecting deleverage of most expenses as a result of decreased revenue in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased during the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 reflecting a decrease in freight and logistics costs and changes in sales mix.
Corporate, Interest Expenses and Other Charges
Corporate and other expense for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 was $7.6 million compared to $8.3 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. Corporate expense in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 included a $0.3 million charge in asset impairment and other charges for asset impairments. Corporate expense in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 included a gain of $0.3 million in asset impairment and other charges from a gain on the termination of the pension plan, partially offset by asset impairments. The corporate expense decrease, excluding asset impairment and other charges, primarily reflects duplicate rent expense and moving costs incurred in the prior year related to the new corporate headquarters.
Net interest expense increased $1.4 million to $1.7 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to net interest expense of $0.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 primarily reflecting increased average borrowings and higher interest rates in the first quarter this year compared to the first quarter last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
Our business is seasonal, with our investment in working capital normally reaching peaks in the summer and fall of each year in anticipation of the back-to-school and holiday selling seasons. Historically, cash flows from operations typically have been generated principally in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

Reasons for the major variances in cash used in the table above are as follows:
Cash used in operating activities was $31.6 million lower in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, reflecting primarily the following factors:
Cash used in investing activities was $1.8 million higher for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 as compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 reflecting increased capital expenditures primarily related to investments in retail stores, most of which was offset by decreased capital expenditures related to the new corporate headquarters building.
Cash provided by financing activities was $73.1 million higher in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 as compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 reflecting increased borrowings this year compared to the same period last year.
Sources of Liquidity and Future Capital Needs
We have three principal sources of liquidity: cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand and our credit facilities discussed in Item 8, Note 8, "Long-Term Debt", to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023.
As of April 29, 2023, we have borrowed $98.9 million U.S. revolver borrowings, $15.2 million (£12.1 million) related to Genesco (UK) Limited and $4.0 million (C$5.5 million) related to Genesco Canada ULC. We were in compliance with all the relevant terms and conditions of the Credit Facility and Facility Agreement as of April 29, 2023.
We believe that cash on hand, cash provided by operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility and the Schuh Facility Agreement will be sufficient to support our liquidity needs in Fiscal 2024 and the foreseeable future.
In light of current store traffic trends and general consumer uncertainty we have identified approximately 100 Journeys stores for closure and continue our efforts in making occupancy costs more variable. In addition, we continue to conduct a holistic review of our cost structure. We expect to realize significant cost savings in Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025. We expect that a significant portion of these savings will be realized by our Journeys Group.
In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, we implemented tax strategies allowed under the 5-year carryback provisions in the CARES Act which we believe will generate approximately $55 million of net tax refunds. We received approximately $26 million of such net tax refunds in Fiscal 2022
19
and anticipated receipt of the remaining outstanding net tax refund in Fiscal 2023. However, in the third quarter of Fiscal 2023, we were notified the IRS would conduct an audit of the periods related to the outstanding net tax refund. While we do not believe any uncertainty with the technical merits of the positions generating the net tax refunds exists, we do anticipate the timing of the net tax refund will be extended as a result of the audit process. Accordingly, we have recorded the outstanding refund to non-current prepaid income taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 29, 2023.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations at April 29, 2023 increased 11% compared to January 28, 2023, primarily due to increased long-term debt, partially offset by decreased purchase obligations.
Capital Expenditures
Total capital expenditures in Fiscal 2024 are expected to be approximately $50 million to $55 million of which approximately 53% is for computer hardware, software and warehouse enhancements for initiatives to drive traffic and omni-channel capabilities and 47% is for new stores and remodels. We do not currently have any longer-term capital expenditures or other cash requirements other than as set forth above and in the contractual obligations table as disclosed in Item 7 of our Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K. We also do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Common Stock Repurchases
We repurchased 255,000 shares during the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 at a cost of $9.2 million, or $35.96 per share. We have $25.0 million remaining as of April 29, 2023 under our expanded share repurchase authorization announced in February 2022. We repurchased 102,895 shares during the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 at a cost of $6.5 million, or $63.17 per share. We accrued $4.8 million of share repurchases in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022 due to timing of the cash settlement and it is included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended April 30, 2022. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, through June 8, 2023, we have repurchased 197,477 shares at a cost of $3.7 million, or $18.51 per share.
Environmental and Other Contingencies
We are subject to certain loss contingencies related to environmental proceedings and other legal matters, including those disclosed in Item 1, Note 8, "Legal Proceedings", to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Descriptions of recently issued accounting pronouncements, if any, and the accounting pronouncements adopted by us during the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 are included in Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We incorporate by reference the information regarding market risk appearing in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Financial Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023. There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks from those disclosed in the Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving desired objectives.
Based on their evaluation as of April 29, 2023, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our first quarter of Fiscal 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
21
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We incorporate by reference the information regarding legal proceedings in Item 1, Note 8, “Legal Proceedings”, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023, and in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 29, 2023 (the “Quarterly Report”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report, in our Annual Report and the Quarterly Report are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Exhibit 10.2
FORM OF Genesco Inc.
PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT
This PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the ____day of _________, 20__ (the “Grant Date”), between Genesco Inc., a Tennessee corporation (together with its Subsidiaries and Successors, the “Company”), and [Participant Name], (the “Grantee”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Genesco Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be amended and restated from time to time (the “Plan”).
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, which permits the issuance of Performance Awards, including Restricted Share Units that provide the right to receive Shares upon the attainment of performance objectives and other vesting conditions (each, a “Performance Share Unit”); and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the Grantee is entitled to an Award of Performance Share Units under the Plan on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

[Participant Name] [Participant Address] |

|
[Award] |
Grant Date: |
|
[Grant Date] |

At the time of any payment of dividends to stockholders on Shares, the PSUs will be credited with additional Performance Share Units (the “Dividend Equivalent Units”) (including fractional units) for cash dividends paid on Shares by (a) multiplying the cash dividend paid per Share by the number of PSUs (and previously credited Dividend Equivalent Units) outstanding and unpaid, and (b) dividing the product determined above by the Fair Market Value of a Share, in each case, on the dividend record date. The PSUs will be credited with Dividend Equivalent Units for stock dividends paid on Shares by multiplying the stock dividend paid per Share by the number of PSUs equal to the Target Award (and previously credited Dividend Equivalent Units) outstanding and unpaid on the dividend record date. Each Dividend Equivalent Unit shall have a value equal to one Share. Any Dividend Equivalent Unit will be subject to the same vesting, payment and other terms and conditions and restrictions as the PSUs to which the Dividend Equivalent Unit relates. For the avoidance of doubt, no Dividend Equivalent Units shall accrue under this Section 3 in the event that any Dividend Equivalent Units or other applicable adjustments pursuant to Section 5 hereof provide similar benefits.
Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to confer upon the Grantee any right to continue service as an officer or employee of the Company.
The provisions of Section 4.2 (Adjustments) and Section 13 (Change in Control) of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference, and the PSUs (and any Dividend Equivalent Units) are subject to such provisions. Any determination made by the Committee or the Board pursuant to such
4
provisions shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and shall be final and binding for all purposes of the Plan and this Agreement.
The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The terms of this Agreement are governed by the terms of the Plan, and in the case of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Grantee, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Award.
Subject to applicable restrictions provided in the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, the Award, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would adversely affect the rights of the Grantee or any holder or beneficiary of the Award in more than a de minimis way shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Grantee, holder or beneficiary affected.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the settlement of the PSUs (including any Dividend Equivalent Units related thereto) to be made to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement is intended to qualify as a “short-term deferral” pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations and this Agreement shall be interpreted consistently therewith. However, under certain circumstances, settlement of the PSUs or any Dividend Equivalent Units may not so qualify, and in that case, the Committee shall administer the grant and settlement of such PSUs and any Dividend Equivalent Units in strict compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at the time of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company, the Grantee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of service is necessary in order to prevent the imposition of any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Grantee) to the minimum extent necessary to satisfy Section 409A of the Code until the date that is six months and one day following the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code), if such payment or benefit is payable upon a termination of employment. For purposes of this Agreement, a “termination of employment” shall have the same meaning as “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code and the Grantee shall be deemed to have remained employed so long as the Grantee has not “separated from service” with the Company or Successor. Each payment of PSUs (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) constitutes a “separate payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
5
If any provision of this Agreement is, or becomes, or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or the Award, or would disqualify the Plan or Award under any laws deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and Award shall remain in full force and effect.
The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof, except to the extent that such laws are preempted by Federal law.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Grantee’s legal representatives. All obligations imposed upon the Grantee and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Grantee’s heirs, executors, administrators and successors.
Any dispute or disagreement which may arise under, or as a result of, or in any way related to, the interpretation, construction or application of this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Grantee and the Company for all purposes. In the event of any controversy among the parties hereto arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement which cannot be resolved in accordance with the foregoing, such controversy shall be finally, exclusively and conclusively settled by mandatory arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the American Arbitration Association rules, by a single independent arbitrator. Such arbitration process shall take place within the Nashville, Tennessee metropolitan area. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all parties hereto and shall be rendered pursuant to a written decision, which contains a detailed recital of the arbitrator’s reasoning. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear its own legal fees and expenses, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator. If the Grantee substantially prevails on any of his or her substantive legal claims, then the Company shall reimburse all legal fees and arbitration fees incurred by the Grantee to arbitrate the dispute.
Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary or its designee, and any notice to be given to the Grantee shall be addressed to him at the address (including an electronic address) then reflected in the Company’s books and records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 13, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to him. Any notice, which is required to be given to the Grantee, shall, if the Grantee is then deceased, be given to the Grantee’s personal representative if such representative has previously informed the Company of his status and address by written notice under this Section 13. Any notice shall have been deemed duly given when (i) delivered in person, (ii) delivered in an electronic form approved by the Company, (iii) enclosed in
6
a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, or (iv) enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, deposited (with fees prepaid) in an office regularly maintained by FedEx, UPS, or comparable non-public mail carrier.

GENESCO INC.
RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the ____ day of _______, 20__ (the “Grant Date”), between Genesco Inc., a Tennessee corporation, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), and ____________ (the “Grantee”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Genesco Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, which permits the issuance of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the Committee responsible for administering the Plan has granted an award of restricted shares to the Grantee as provided herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Period shall automatically terminate as to a portion (to be calculated by the Committee in its sole discretion in proportion to Grantee’s length of employment during the Restricted Period) of the Restricted Shares awarded hereunder (as to which such Restricted Period has not previously terminated) upon the termination of the Grantee’s employment from the Company, a Subsidiary or Affiliate without cause (to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) or upon Grantee’s death or Disability.
Following the termination of the Restricted Period, all restrictions set forth in this Agreement or in the Plan relating to such portion or all, as applicable, of the Restricted Shares shall lapse as to such portion or all, as applicable, of the Restricted Shares, and a stock certificate for the appropriate number of Shares, free of the restrictions and restrictive stock legend, shall, as soon as practicable, be delivered to the Grantee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
To the extent that the Restricted Period applicable to any Restricted Shares shall have lapsed, the Grantee may receive, hold, sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares free and clear of the restrictions imposed under the Plan and this Agreement.
This Agreement shall not be construed as giving Grantee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company, and the Company may at any time dismiss Grantee from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan but subject to the terms of any employment agreement or other contractual provision between the Company and Grantee.
The Committee shall make equitable and proportionate adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, this Award in recognition of unusual and non-recurring events (including without limitation, the events described in Section 4.2 of the Plan) affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or of any changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles in accordance with the Plan.
Subject to the restrictions contained in the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate the Award, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the Grantee or any holder or beneficiary of the Award shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Grantee, holder or beneficiary affected.
If the Grantee makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Award, the Award made pursuant to this Agreement shall be conditioned upon the prompt payment to the Company of any applicable withholding obligations or withholding taxes by the Grantee (“Withholding Taxes”). Failure by the Grantee to pay such Withholding Taxes will render this Agreement and the Award granted hereunder null and void ab initio and the Restricted Shares granted hereunder will be immediately cancelled. If the Grantee does not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Award, upon the lapse of the Restricted Period with respect to any portion of Restricted Shares (or property distributed with respect thereto), the Company shall satisfy the required Withholding Taxes as set forth by Internal Revenue Service guidelines for the employer’s statutory withholding obligations with respect to Grantee and issue vested shares to the Grantee without restriction. The Company shall satisfy the required Withholding Taxes by
taking such action as it deems appropriate, including (a) by withholding from the Shares included in the Award that number of whole shares necessary to satisfy such taxes as of the date the restrictions lapse with respect to such Shares based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares, (b) by receiving a cash payment from Grantee, or (c) by withholding from other wages otherwise payable to Grantee. No Shares shall be released to the Grantee unless and until such Withholding Taxes have been satisfied as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The terms of this Agreement are governed by the terms of the Plan, and in the case of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
If any provision of this Agreement is, or becomes, or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or the Award, or would disqualify the Plan or Award under any laws deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and Award shall remain in full force and effect.
All notices required to be given in connection with the Award shall be deemed to be received if delivered or mailed as provided for herein, to the parties at the following addresses, or to such other address as either party may provide in writing from time to time.

To the Grantee: The address then maintained with respect to the Grantee in the Company’s records.
The validity, construction and effect of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Grantee’s legal representatives. All obligations imposed upon the Grantee and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Grantee’s heirs, executors, administrators and successors.
Any dispute or disagreement which may arise under, or as a result of, or in any way related to, the interpretation, construction or application of this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee. Any determination made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Grantee and the Company for all purposes.
