NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Kontoor Brands, Inc. ("Kontoor," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") is a global lifestyle apparel company headquartered in the United States ("U.S."). The Company designs, manufactures, procures, sells and licenses apparel, footwear and accessories, primarily under the brand names Wrangler® and Lee®. The Company's products are sold in the U.S. through mass merchants, specialty stores, department stores, company-operated stores and online, including digital marketplaces. The Company's products are also sold internationally, primarily in the Europe, Asia-Pacific and Non-U.S. Americas regions, through department, specialty, company-operated, concession retail and independently-operated partnership stores and online, including digital marketplaces.
Fiscal Year
The Company operates and reports using a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 of each year. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q presents the second quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending December 28, 2024 ("fiscal 2024"), which is a 52-week fiscal year. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023 correspond to the fiscal periods ended June 29, 2024, December 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023, respectively.
Macroeconomic Environment and Other Recent Developments
Global macroeconomic conditions that continued to impact the Company include elevated interest rates, inflation, recessionary concerns, fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, supply chain issues and inconsistent consumer demand, particularly in China. These factors continue to contribute to uncertain global economic conditions and consumer spending patterns, which are impacting retailers' and the Company's operations. Additionally, the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are causing disruption in the surrounding areas and greater uncertainty in the global economy. The Company considered the impact of these developments on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing these quarterly financial statements including, but not limited to, our allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuations, liabilities for variable consideration, deferred tax valuation allowances, fair value measurements including asset impairment evaluations, the effectiveness of the Company’s hedging instruments and expected compliance with all applicable financial covenants in our Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7 to the Company's financial statements). These assumptions and estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained regarding the impact of the above conditions. Such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
Basis of Presentation - Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for fiscal 2024. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2024 ("2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations," which requires entities that provide supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose key terms of the programs, outstanding confirmed amounts as of period end, a description of where those obligations are presented in the balance sheets and an annual rollforward of obligations. This guidance was adopted by the Company during the first quarter of 2023, except for the requirement to include an annual rollforward of obligations which is effective beginning in 2024 and will be disclosed in our 2024 annual report on Form 10-K. Refer to Note 6 to the Company's financial statements for additional information related to our supply chain finance programs.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This guidance is effective for annual disclosures in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This guidance requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.

This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 3 — BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments:
•Wrangler — Wrangler® branded denim, apparel, footwear and accessories.
•Lee — Lee® branded denim, apparel, footwear and accessories.
The Company considers its chief executive officer to be its chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based on the global brand operating results of Wrangler® and Lee®, which are the Company's operating and reportable segments.
In addition, we report an "Other" category to reconcile segment revenues and segment profit to the Company's operating results, but the Other category does not meet the criteria to be considered a reportable segment. Other includes sales and licensing of Rock & Republic®, other company-owned brands and private label apparel.
Accounting policies utilized for internal management reporting at the individual segments are consistent with those disclosed in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Corporate and other expenses, including certain restructuring and transformation costs, and interest income and expense are not controlled by segment management and therefore are excluded from the measurement of segment profit.
The following table presents financial information for the Company's reportable segments and income before income taxes:

Sale of Trade Accounts Receivable
The Company is party to an agreement with a financial institution to sell selected trade accounts receivable on a nonrecourse basis. Under this agreement, up to $377.5 million of the Company’s trade accounts receivable may be sold to the financial institution and remain outstanding at any point in time. The Company removes the sold balances from "accounts receivable, net" in its balance sheet at the time of sale. The Company does not retain any interests in the sold trade accounts receivable but continues to service and collect outstanding trade accounts receivable on behalf of the financial institution.
During the six months ended June 2024 and June 2023, the Company sold total trade accounts receivable of $647.5 million and $704.2 million, respectively. As of June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023, $179.6 million, $197.7 million and $211.5 million, respectively, of the sold trade accounts receivable had been removed from the Company's balance sheets but remained outstanding with the financial institution.
The funding fees charged by the financial institution for this program are reflected in the Company's statements of operations within "other expense, net" and were $2.9 million and $5.8 million for the three and six months ended June 2024, respectively, and $3.1 million and $6.1 million for the three and six months ended June 2023, respectively. Net proceeds of this program are reflected as operating activities in the Company's statements of cash flows.

Credit Facilities
The Company is party to a senior secured Credit Agreement, as amended and restated on November 18, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for (i) a five-year $400.0 million term loan A facility (“Term Loan A”) and (ii) a five-year $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), collectively referred to as “Credit Facilities,” with the lenders and agents party thereto.
Term Loan A requires quarterly repayments of $5.0 million through September 2026, and the remaining principal of $335.0 million is due at maturity in November 2026. During the six months ended June 2024, the Company repaid a total of $35.0 million of the principal outstanding on Term Loan A, including $25.0 million of voluntary early quarterly repayments during the second quarter of 2024. Term Loan A had an outstanding principal amount of $355.0 million, $390.0 million and $395.0 million at June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023, respectively, which is reported net of unamortized deferred financing costs. As of June 2024, interest expense on Term Loan A was being recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 7.1%, including the amortization of deferred financing costs.
The Revolving Credit Facility may be used to borrow funds in both U.S. dollar and certain non-U.S. dollar currencies, and has a $75.0 million letter of credit sublimit. As of June 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $6.5 million of outstanding standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company, leaving $493.5 million available for borrowing against this facility.
The interest rate per annum applicable to borrowings under the Credit Facilities is an interest rate benchmark elected by the Company based on the currency and term of the borrowing plus an applicable margin, as defined therein.
The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type as well as customary events of default. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which require compliance with (i) a total leverage ratio not to exceed 4.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any test period, with an allowance for up to two elections to increase the limit to 5.00 to 1.00 in connection with certain material acquisitions, and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio as of the last day of any test period to be no less than 3.00 to 1.00. As of June 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and expects to maintain compliance with the applicable covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

Senior Notes
On November 18, 2021, the Company entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) by and among the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company named as guarantors therein (the “Guarantors”), pursuant to which it issued $400.0 million of unsecured senior notes due November 2029 (the “Notes”) through a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.125% per annum, payable in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
The Notes had an outstanding principal amount of $400.0 million at June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023, which is reported net of unamortized deferred financing costs. As of June 2024, interest expense on the Notes was being recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 4.3%, including the amortization of deferred financing costs.
The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) that are borrowers under or guarantors of the Credit Facilities or certain other indebtedness. The Indenture governing the Notes contains customary negative covenants for financings of this type. The Indenture does not contain any financial covenants. As of June 2024, the Company was in compliance with the Indenture and expects to maintain compliance with the applicable non-financial covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
Refer to Note 11 in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s debt obligations.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Certain assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is based on the observability and objectivity of the pricing inputs, as follows:
•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 — Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. These inputs would normally be the Company's own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company's cash equivalents include money market funds and short-term time deposits that approximate fair value based on Level 1 measurements. The fair value of derivative financial instruments, which consist of foreign currency exchange contracts and, at December 2023, interest rate swap agreements, is determined based on observable market inputs (Level 2), including spot and forward exchange rates for foreign currencies and observable interest rate yield curves for interest rate swap agreements. Investment securities are held in the Company's deferred compensation plans as an economic hedge of the related deferred compensation liabilities and are comprised of mutual funds that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets (Level 1). Liabilities related to the Company's deferred compensation plans are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of the participants’ selection of hypothetical investments (Level 2).
Additionally, at June 2024, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was $749.7 million compared to a fair value of $711.2 million. At December 2023, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was $783.9 million compared to a fair value of $747.1 million. The fair value of long-term debt is a Level 2 estimate based on quoted market prices or values of comparable borrowings.
All other financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded in the Company's financial statements at cost. These other financial assets and financial liabilities include cash held as demand deposits, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At June 2024 and December 2023, their carrying values approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 9 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Summary of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into derivative contracts with external counterparties to hedge certain foreign currency transactions. The notional amount of all outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was $340.1 million at June 2024, $348.8 million at December 2023 and $333.0 million at June 2023, consisting primarily of contracts hedging exposures to the euro, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, British pound, Polish zloty and Swedish krona. Foreign currency exchange contracts have maturities up to 20 months.
During 2019, the Company entered into "floating to fixed" interest rate swap agreements to mitigate exposure to volatility in reference rates on the Company's future interest payments. Because these interest rate swap agreements met the criteria for hedge accounting, all related gains and losses were deferred within accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") and were amortized through the expiration date of April 18, 2024. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements was $300.0 million at December 2023 and June 2023.
The Company's outstanding derivative financial instruments met the criteria for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedging relationship. At each reporting period, the Company assesses whether the hedging relationships continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. If the Company determines that a specific hedging relationship has ceased to be highly effective, it discontinues hedge accounting. All designated hedging relationships were determined to be highly effective as of June 2024.

If the Company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of its derivative contracts on a net basis in accordance with the terms of its master netting agreements, the amounts presented in the Company's balance sheets would be adjusted from the current gross presentation to the net amounts.

Other Derivative Information
Any contracts that are not designated as hedges are recorded at fair value in the Company's balance sheets. Changes in the fair values of derivative contracts not designated as hedges are recognized directly in earnings. There were no significant amounts recognized in earnings for changes in the fair values of derivative contracts not designated as hedges or the ineffective portion of any hedging relationships during the three and six months ended June 2024 and June 2023.
At June 2024, AOCL included $7.4 million of pre-tax net deferred gains for foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The amounts ultimately reclassified to earnings will depend on rates in effect when outstanding derivative contracts are settled.

NOTE 11 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On April 1, 2024, the Company made its annual grant of equity awards under the Kontoor Brands, Inc. 2019 Stock Compensation Plan, including approximately 200,000 shares of performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs”) to employees, approximately 150,000 shares of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees, and approximately 20,000 shares of RSUs to nonemployee members of the Board of Directors. The fair market value of Kontoor Common Stock at the date the awards were granted was $60.35 per share and was used to value the RSUs and Director RSUs.
Each PRSU entitles the employee to receive a potential final payout ranging from zero to two shares of Kontoor Common Stock at the end of a three-year performance period. The number of shares earned by participants, if any, is based on achievement of performance goals set by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The actual number of shares earned may also be adjusted upward or downward by up to 25% of the target award, subject to a 0% floor, based on how Kontoor’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over a three-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in a Company-selected peer group. Shares earned related to the 2024 grants will be issued to participants following the conclusion of the three-year performance period.
Each employee RSU entitles the holder to one share of Kontoor Common Stock and typically vests over a three-year period. Each RSU granted to a nonemployee member of the Board of Directors vests upon grant and will be settled in one share of Kontoor Common Stock one year from the date of grant.

NOTE 12 — INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 2024 was 20.0% compared to 23.4% in the 2023 period. The six months ended June 2024 included a net discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock-based compensation which decreased the effective income tax rate by 1.2%. The six months ended June 2023 included a net discrete tax expense primarily related to a remeasurement of deferred tax assets associated with a tax holiday granted from local income taxes in a foreign jurisdiction which increased the effective income tax rate by 3.9%. The effective tax rate without discrete items for the six months ended June 2024 was 21.2% compared to 19.5% in the 2023 period. This increase was primarily due to changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings.
During the six months ended June 2024, the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest increased by $0.7 million to $14.3 million. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $2.2 million within the next 12 fiscal months due to expiration of statutes of limitations, which would reduce income tax expense.

NOTE 13 — EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") are based on net income divided by the basic weighted average number of common shares and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding, respectively.
The following table presents the calculations of basic and diluted EPS:

For the three and six months ended June 2024 and June 2023, an immaterial number of shares were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculations because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended June 2024, a total of 0.8 million and 0.7 million shares of PRSUs, respectively, were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share as the units were not considered to be contingent outstanding shares. For both the three and six months ended June 2023, a total of 0.6 million shares of PRSUs were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share as the units were not considered to be contingent outstanding shares.

NOTE 14 — LEASES
The Company enters into operating leases for retail stores, operational facilities, vehicles and certain equipment, with terms expiring at various dates through 2033. Most leases have fixed rentals, with many of the real estate leases requiring additional payments for real estate taxes and occupancy-related costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide readers of our financial statements with a narrative from management's perspective on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. This section should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The following discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Cautionary Statement On Forward-Looking Statements” included later in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Description of Business
Kontoor Brands, Inc. ("Kontoor," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") is a global lifestyle apparel company headquartered in the United States ("U.S."). The Company designs, manufactures, procures, sells and licenses apparel, footwear and accessories, primarily under the brand names Wrangler® and Lee®. The Company's products are sold in the U.S. through mass merchants, specialty stores, department stores, company-operated stores and online, including digital marketplaces. The Company's products are also sold internationally, primarily in the Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), Asia-Pacific ("APAC") and Non-U.S. Americas regions, through department, specialty, company-operated, concession retail and independently-operated partnership stores and online, including digital marketplaces.
Fiscal Year and Basis of Presentation
The Company operates and reports using a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 of each year. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q presents the second quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending December 28, 2024 ("fiscal 2024"), which is a 52-week fiscal year. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023 correspond to the fiscal periods ended June 29, 2024, December 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023, respectively.
References to fiscal 2024 foreign currency amounts herein reflect the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates from the prior year comparable period and the corresponding impact on translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars and on foreign currency-denominated transactions. The Company's most significant foreign currency translation exposure is typically driven by business conducted in euro-based countries, the Chinese yuan and the Mexican peso. However, the Company conducts business in other developed and emerging markets around the world with exposure to other foreign currencies.
Amounts herein may not recalculate due to the use of unrounded numbers.
Macroeconomic Environment and Other Recent Developments
Global macroeconomic conditions that continued to impact the Company include elevated interest rates, inflation, recessionary concerns, fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, supply chain issues and inconsistent consumer demand, particularly in China. These factors continue to contribute to uncertain global economic conditions and consumer spending patterns, which are impacting retailers' and the Company's operations. Additionally, the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are causing disruption in the surrounding areas and greater uncertainty in the global economy. Inflationary pressures have moderated in recent quarters, and although these pressures continue to impact us, current period results reflect continued favorability from lower product costs compared to the second quarter of 2023.
The macroeconomic factors discussed above, primarily elevated interest rates, inflation and recessionary concerns, continued to impact consumer spending patterns leading to retailer actions to proactively manage inventory levels, which impacted our results during the six months ended June 2024.
Recent disruptions to key trade routes, such as the Red Sea and Panama Canal, affected our global supply chain during the second quarter of 2024 but did not have a significant impact on second quarter results. Although we continue to proactively manage our shipping carriers and routes to minimize costs and delays, these disruptions will impact freight costs during 2024.
The Company has responded to ongoing macroeconomic conditions by controlling expenses, adjusting pricing and proactively managing our global supply chain where possible. While we anticipate continued uncertainty related to the macroeconomic environment during 2024, we believe we are appropriately positioned to successfully manage through known operational challenges. We continue to closely monitor macroeconomic conditions, including consumer behavior and the impact of these factors on consumer demand.

We are progressing in the detailed planning phase of Project Jeanius, and have started to execute on certain initiatives. We anticipate additional costs and benefits in future periods as we execute on this multi-year initiative.

Net revenues — 2024$606.9 $1,238.1 
Three Months Ended June 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 2023
Net revenues decreased 1%, driven by an 8% decrease in Non-U.S. Wholesale revenues primarily attributable to lower sales in China and EMEA. U.S. Wholesale revenues decreased 1%, driven by retailer inventory management actions and a decrease in revenue from seasonal product, partially offset by growth in our digital wholesale business and a 2% benefit from a shift in the timing of certain shipments from the third quarter into the second quarter of 2024. Global Direct-to-Consumer revenues increased 3% with growth in e-commerce sales partially offset by declines in retail store sales, due in part to store closures.
Additional details on changes in net revenues for the three months ended June 2024 as compared to June 2023 are provided in the section titled “Information by Business Segment.”
Gross margin increased 410 basis points, primarily related to 560 basis points of favorability from product costs, product mix and lower downtime from internal manufacturing. These benefits were partially offset by 130 basis points from pricing adjustments and channel mix along with a 10 basis point decrease due to restructuring and transformation charges.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $9.3 million, from 30.3% to 32.3% of net revenues, driven by a $4.7 million increase in certain incentive compensation-related expenses and a $3.1 million increase in investments in our direct-to-consumer business and information technology. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $5.1 million from lower restructuring and transformation charges compared to the prior period.
Six Months Ended June 2024 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 2023
Net revenues decreased 4%, driven by a 3% decrease in U.S. Wholesale revenues primarily attributable to retailer inventory management actions and a decrease in revenue from seasonal product, partially offset by growth in our digital wholesale business. Non-U.S. Wholesale revenues decreased 8%, primarily driven by lower sales in EMEA and China. Global Direct-to-Consumer revenues increased 1% with growth in e-commerce sales partially offset by declines in retail store sales.

These benefits were partially offset by 80 basis points from pricing adjustments and 30 basis points from restructuring and transformation charges compared to the prior period.

Kontoor Brands, Inc. Q2 FY24 Form 10-Q 24


Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $18.2 million, from 29.5% to 32.1% of net revenues, driven by a $10.8 million increase in certain incentive compensation-related expenses and a $7.0 million increase in investments in our direct-to-consumer business, demand creation and information technology, partially offset by a $2.6 million decrease in distribution and freight costs.
The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 2024 was 20.0% compared to 23.4% in the 2023 period. The six months ended June 2024 included a net discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock-based compensation which decreased the effective income tax rate by 1.2%. The six months ended June 2023 included a net discrete tax expense primarily related to a remeasurement of deferred tax assets associated with a tax holiday granted from local income taxes in a foreign jurisdiction which increased the effective income tax rate by 3.9%. The effective tax rate without discrete items for the six months ended June 2024 was 21.2% compared to 19.5% in the 2023 period. This increase was primarily due to changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings.

Interest expense increased $0.7 million, primarily due to the higher effective interest rate as a result of the expiration of interest rate swap agreements in April 2024, partially offset by the effect of lower average debt outstanding during the three months ended June 2024 compared to the three months ended June 2023.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's ability to fund our operating needs is dependent upon our ability to generate positive long-term cash flow from operations and maintain our debt financing on acceptable terms. The Company has historically generated strong positive cash flows from operations and continues to take proactive measures to manage working capital. During the six months ended June 2024, the Company repaid a total of $35.0 million of the principal outstanding on Term Loan A, including $25.0 million of voluntary early quarterly repayments during the second quarter of 2024. We believe cash flows from operations will support our short-term liquidity needs as well as any future liquidity and capital requirements, in combination with available cash balances and borrowing capacity from our revolving credit facility.
The Company is party to a senior secured Credit Agreement, as amended and restated on November 18, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for (i) a five-year $400.0 million term loan A facility (“Term Loan A”) and (ii) a five-year $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), collectively referred to as “Credit Facilities,” with the lenders and agents party thereto. Term Loan A requires quarterly repayments of $5.0 million through September 2026, and the remaining principal of $335.0 million is due at maturity in November 2026. Additionally, the Company has outstanding $400.0 million of unsecured 4.125% senior notes due 2029. Refer to Note 11 in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 7 to the Company's financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the Company’s debt obligations.
As of June 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Agreement and expects to maintain compliance with the applicable covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements. If economic conditions significantly deteriorate for a prolonged period, this could impact the Company’s operating results and cash flows and thus our ability to maintain compliance with the applicable covenants. As a result, the Company could be required to seek new amendments to the Credit Agreement or secure other sources of liquidity, such as refinancing of existing borrowings, the issuance of debt or equity securities, or sales of assets. However, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such additional financing on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Kontoor Brands, Inc. Q2 FY24 Form 10-Q 28


The Revolving Credit Facility may be used to borrow funds in both U.S. dollar and certain non-U.S. dollar currencies, and has a maximum borrowing capacity of $500.0 million with a $75.0 million letter of credit sublimit. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 2024.
The following table presents outstanding borrowings and available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility and our cash and cash equivalents balances as of June 2024:

$493.5 
Cash and cash equivalents$224.3 
(1) Available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility is net of $6.5 million of outstanding standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company under this facility.
At June 2024, the Company had $19.3 million of international lines of credit with various banks, which are uncommitted and may be terminated at any time by either the Company or the banks. There were no outstanding balances under these arrangements at June 2024.
During the six months ended June 2024, the Company repurchased 0.7 million shares of Common Stock for $45.0 million, including commissions, under its $300.0 million share repurchase program authorized by the Company's Board of Directors. All shares reacquired in connection with the repurchase program are treated as authorized and unissued shares upon repurchase. As of June 2024, $255.0 million remained available for repurchase under the program.
During the six months ended June 2024, the Company paid $55.7 million of dividends to its shareholders. On July 25, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share of the Company's Common Stock. The cash dividend will be payable on September 20, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 10, 2024.
The Company intends to continue to pay cash dividends in future periods. The declaration and amount of any future dividends will be dependent upon multiple factors including our financial condition, earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, covenants associated with our debt obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice and any other factors or considerations that our Board of Directors deems relevant.
We anticipate that we will have sufficient cash flows from operations, along with existing borrowing capacity, to support continued investments in our brands, infrastructure, talent and capabilities, dividend payments to shareholders, repayment of our debt obligations when due and repurchases of Common Stock. In addition, we would use current liquidity as well as access to capital markets to fund any strategic investment opportunities that may arise.
We currently expect capital expenditures to be approximately $35.0 million in 2024, primarily to support manufacturing, distribution, facility improvement, information technology and owned retail store investments.
The following table presents our cash flows during the periods:
Six Months Ended June
(In millions)20242023
Cash provided (used) by:
Operating activities$152.7 $111.7 
Investing activities$(11.4)$(20.0)
Financing activities$(137.0)$(69.0)
Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $152.7 million as compared to $111.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher net income as well as favorable changes in working capital, which included inventory, accounts payable and income taxes, partially offset by unfavorable changes in accounts receivable compared to the prior year period.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 2024, cash used by investing activities was $11.4 million as compared to $20.0 million in the prior year period, primarily due to decreases in expenditures of property, plant and equipment and capitalized computer software in the current year period.

Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 2024, cash used by financing activities was $137.0 million as compared to $69.0 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to $45.0 million of Common Stock repurchases and $35.0 million in repayments of Term Loan A during the six months ended June 2024.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments
The section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Contractual Obligations" included in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K provided a summary of our contractual obligations and commercial commitments at the end of 2023 that would require the use of funds. As of June 2024, there have been no material changes in the amounts disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have chosen accounting policies that management believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial position in conformity with GAAP. We apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. Significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The application of these accounting policies requires that we make estimates and assumptions about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenues, expenses, contingent assets and liabilities and related disclosures. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Because our business cycle is relatively short (i.e., from the date that inventory is received until that inventory is sold and the trade accounts receivable is collected), actual results related to most estimates are known within a few months after any balance sheet date. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to future events and are therefore inherently uncertain, especially as it relates to events outside of our control. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations when the actual amounts become known. Refer to Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in this Form 10-Q for considerations related to the macroeconomic environment and other recent developments.
The accounting policies that involve the most significant estimates, assumptions and management judgments used in preparation of the financial statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are discussed within "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in these policies disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
Refer to Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding recently issued and adopted accounting standards.
Cautionary Statement on Forward-looking Statements
From time to time, the Company may make oral or written statements, including statements in this quarterly report, that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements concerning plans, objectives, projections and expectations relating to the Company’s operations or economic performance and assumptions related thereto. Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. In addition, the forward-looking statements in this report are made as of the date of this filing, and the Company does not undertake, and expressly disclaims any duty, to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, new developments, or otherwise, except to the extent that disclosure may be required by law.
Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of the Company to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements in this report include, but are not limited to: macroeconomic conditions, including elevated interest rates, inflation, recessionary concerns and fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, as well as continuing global supply chain issues and geopolitical events, continue to adversely impact global economic conditions and have had, and may continue to have, a negative impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows (including future uncertain impacts); the level of consumer demand for apparel; reliance on a small number of large customers; supply chain and shipping disruptions, which could continue to result in shipping delays, an increase in transportation costs and increased product costs or lost sales; intense industry competition; the ability to accurately forecast demand for products; the Company’s ability to gauge consumer preferences and product trends, and to respond to constantly changing markets; the Company’s ability to maintain the images of its brands; increasing pressure on margins; e-commerce operations through the Company’s direct-to-consumer business; the financial difficulty experienced by the retail industry; possible goodwill and other asset impairment; the ability to implement the Company’s business strategy; the stability of manufacturing facilities and foreign suppliers; fluctuations in wage rates and the price, availability and quality of raw materials and contracted products; the reliance on a limited number of suppliers for raw material sourcing and the ability to obtain raw materials on a timely basis or in sufficient quantity or

quality; disruption to distribution systems; seasonality; unseasonal or severe weather conditions; the Company's and its vendors’ ability to maintain the strength and security of information technology systems; the risk that facilities and systems and those of third-party service providers may be vulnerable to and unable to anticipate or detect data security breaches and data or financial loss or maintain operational performance; ability to properly collect, use, manage and secure consumer and employee data; disruption and volatility in the global capital and credit markets and its impact on the Company's ability to obtain short-term or long-term financing on favorable terms; legal, regulatory, political and economic risks; changes to trade policy, including tariff and import/export regulations; the impact of climate change and related legislative and regulatory responses; compliance with anti-bribery, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws by the Company and third-party suppliers and manufacturers; changes in tax laws and liabilities; the costs of compliance with or the violation of national, state and local laws and regulations for environmental, consumer protection, employment, privacy, safety and other matters; continuity of members of management; labor relations; the ability to protect trademarks and other intellectual property rights; the ability of the Company’s licensees to generate expected sales and maintain the value of the Company’s brands; the Company maintaining satisfactory credit ratings; restrictions on the Company’s business relating to its debt obligations; volatility in the price and trading volume of the Company’s common stock; anti-takeover provisions in the Company’s organizational documents; and fluctuations in the amount and frequency of our share repurchases. Many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties will be exacerbated by any worsening of the global business and economic environment.
More information on potential factors that could affect the Company's financial results are described in detail in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports and statements that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Description of Business
Kontoor Brands, Inc. ("Kontoor," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") is a global lifestyle apparel company headquartered in the United States ("U.S."). The Company designs, manufactures, procures, sells and licenses apparel, footwear and accessories, primarily under the brand names Wrangler® and Lee®. The Company's products are sold in the U.S. through mass merchants, specialty stores, department stores, company-operated stores and online, including digital marketplaces. The Company's products are also sold internationally, primarily in the Europe, Asia-Pacific and Non-U.S. Americas regions, through department, specialty, company-operated, concession retail and independently-operated partnership stores and online, including digital marketplaces.
Fiscal Year
The Company operates and reports using a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 of each year. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q presents the second quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending December 28, 2024 ("fiscal 2024"), which is a 52-week fiscal year. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023 correspond to the fiscal periods ended June 29, 2024, December 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023, respectively.
Macroeconomic Environment and Other Recent Developments
Global macroeconomic conditions that continued to impact the Company include elevated interest rates, inflation, recessionary concerns, fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, supply chain issues and inconsistent consumer demand, particularly in China. These factors continue to contribute to uncertain global economic conditions and consumer spending patterns, which are impacting retailers' and the Company's operations. Additionally, the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are causing disruption in the surrounding areas and greater uncertainty in the global economy. The Company considered the impact of these developments on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing these quarterly financial statements including, but not limited to, our allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuations, liabilities for variable consideration, deferred tax valuation allowances, fair value measurements including asset impairment evaluations, the effectiveness of the Company’s hedging instruments and expected compliance with all applicable financial covenants in our Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7 to the Company's financial statements). These assumptions and estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained regarding the impact of the above conditions. Such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
Basis of Presentation - Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for fiscal 2024. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2024 ("2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations," which requires entities that provide supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose key terms of the programs, outstanding confirmed amounts as of period end, a description of where those obligations are presented in the balance sheets and an annual rollforward of obligations. This guidance was adopted by the Company during the first quarter of 2023, except for the requirement to include an annual rollforward of obligations which is effective beginning in 2024 and will be disclosed in our 2024 annual report on Form 10-K. Refer to Note 6 to the Company's financial statements for additional information related to our supply chain finance programs.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This guidance is effective for annual disclosures in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This guidance requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires disclosure of specific categories and greater disaggregation within the income tax rate reconciliation, and disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments:
•Wrangler — Wrangler® branded denim, apparel, footwear and accessories.
•Lee — Lee® branded denim, apparel, footwear and accessories.
The Company considers its chief executive officer to be its chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based on the global brand operating results of Wrangler® and Lee®, which are the Company's operating and reportable segments.
In addition, we report an "Other" category to reconcile segment revenues and segment profit to the Company's operating results, but the Other category does not meet the criteria to be considered a reportable segment. Other includes sales and licensing of Rock & Republic®, other company-owned brands and private label apparel.
Accounting policies utilized for internal management reporting at the individual segments are consistent with those disclosed in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Corporate and other expenses, including certain restructuring and transformation costs, and interest income and expense are not controlled by segment management and therefore are excluded from the measurement of segment profit.

Sale of Trade Accounts Receivable
The Company is party to an agreement with a financial institution to sell selected trade accounts receivable on a nonrecourse basis. Under this agreement, up to $377.5 million of the Company’s trade accounts receivable may be sold to the financial institution and remain outstanding at any point in time. The Company removes the sold balances from "accounts receivable, net" in its balance sheet at the time of sale. The Company does not retain any interests in the sold trade accounts receivable but continues to service and collect outstanding trade accounts receivable on behalf of the financial institution.
During the six months ended June 2024 and June 2023, the Company sold total trade accounts receivable of $647.5 million and $704.2 million, respectively. As of June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023, $179.6 million, $197.7 million and $211.5 million, respectively, of the sold trade accounts receivable had been removed from the Company's balance sheets but remained outstanding with the financial institution.
The funding fees charged by the financial institution for this program are reflected in the Company's statements of operations within "other expense, net" and were $2.9 million and $5.8 million for the three and six months ended June 2024, respectively, and $3.1 million and $6.1 million for the three and six months ended June 2023, respectively. Net proceeds of this program are reflected as operating activities in the Company's statements of cash flows.

Credit Facilities
The Company is party to a senior secured Credit Agreement, as amended and restated on November 18, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for (i) a five-year $400.0 million term loan A facility (“Term Loan A”) and (ii) a five-year $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), collectively referred to as “Credit Facilities,” with the lenders and agents party thereto.
Term Loan A requires quarterly repayments of $5.0 million through September 2026, and the remaining principal of $335.0 million is due at maturity in November 2026. During the six months ended June 2024, the Company repaid a total of $35.0 million of the principal outstanding on Term Loan A, including $25.0 million of voluntary early quarterly repayments during the second quarter of 2024. Term Loan A had an outstanding principal amount of $355.0 million, $390.0 million and $395.0 million at June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023, respectively, which is reported net of unamortized deferred financing costs. As of June 2024, interest expense on Term Loan A was being recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 7.1%, including the amortization of deferred financing costs.
The Revolving Credit Facility may be used to borrow funds in both U.S. dollar and certain non-U.S. dollar currencies, and has a $75.0 million letter of credit sublimit. As of June 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $6.5 million of outstanding standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company, leaving $493.5 million available for borrowing against this facility.
The interest rate per annum applicable to borrowings under the Credit Facilities is an interest rate benchmark elected by the Company based on the currency and term of the borrowing plus an applicable margin, as defined therein.
The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type as well as customary events of default. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which require compliance with (i) a total leverage ratio not to exceed 4.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any test period, with an allowance for up to two elections to increase the limit to 5.00 to 1.00 in connection with certain material acquisitions, and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio as of the last day of any test period to be no less than 3.00 to 1.00. As of June 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and expects to maintain compliance with the applicable covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
Senior Notes
On November 18, 2021, the Company entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) by and among the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company named as guarantors therein (the “Guarantors”), pursuant to which it issued $400.0 million of unsecured senior notes due November 2029 (the “Notes”) through a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.125% per annum, payable in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
The Notes had an outstanding principal amount of $400.0 million at June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023, which is reported net of unamortized deferred financing costs. As of June 2024, interest expense on the Notes was being recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 4.3%, including the amortization of deferred financing costs.
The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) that are borrowers under or guarantors of the Credit Facilities or certain other indebtedness. The Indenture governing the Notes contains customary negative covenants for financings of this type. The Indenture does not contain any financial covenants. As of June 2024, the Company was in compliance with the Indenture and expects to maintain compliance with the applicable non-financial covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
Refer to Note 11 in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s debt obligations.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Certain assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is based on the observability and objectivity of the pricing inputs, as follows:
•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 — Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. These inputs would normally be the Company's own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured and recorded in the Company's financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company's cash equivalents include money market funds and short-term time deposits that approximate fair value based on Level 1 measurements. The fair value of derivative financial instruments, which consist of foreign currency exchange contracts and, at December 2023, interest rate swap agreements, is determined based on observable market inputs (Level 2), including spot and forward exchange rates for foreign currencies and observable interest rate yield curves for interest rate swap agreements. Investment securities are held in the Company's deferred compensation plans as an economic hedge of the related deferred compensation liabilities and are comprised of mutual funds that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets (Level 1). Liabilities related to the Company's deferred compensation plans are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of the participants’ selection of hypothetical investments (Level 2).
Additionally, at June 2024, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was $749.7 million compared to a fair value of $711.2 million. At December 2023, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was $783.9 million compared to a fair value of $747.1 million. The fair value of long-term debt is a Level 2 estimate based on quoted market prices or values of comparable borrowings.
All other financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded in the Company's financial statements at cost. These other financial assets and financial liabilities include cash held as demand deposits, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At June 2024 and December 2023, their carrying values approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Summary of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into derivative contracts with external counterparties to hedge certain foreign currency transactions. The notional amount of all outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was $340.1 million at June 2024, $348.8 million at December 2023 and $333.0 million at June 2023, consisting primarily of contracts hedging exposures to the euro, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, British pound, Polish zloty and Swedish krona. Foreign currency exchange contracts have maturities up to 20 months.
During 2019, the Company entered into "floating to fixed" interest rate swap agreements to mitigate exposure to volatility in reference rates on the Company's future interest payments. Because these interest rate swap agreements met the criteria for hedge accounting, all related gains and losses were deferred within accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") and were amortized through the expiration date of April 18, 2024. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements was $300.0 million at December 2023 and June 2023.
The Company's outstanding derivative financial instruments met the criteria for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedging relationship. At each reporting period, the Company assesses whether the hedging relationships continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. If the Company determines that a specific hedging relationship has ceased to be highly effective, it discontinues hedge accounting. All designated hedging relationships were determined to be highly effective as of June 2024.

Other Derivative Information
Any contracts that are not designated as hedges are recorded at fair value in the Company's balance sheets. Changes in the fair values of derivative contracts not designated as hedges are recognized directly in earnings. There were no significant amounts recognized in earnings for changes in the fair values of derivative contracts not designated as hedges or the ineffective portion of any hedging relationships during the three and six months ended June 2024 and June 2023.
At June 2024, AOCL included $7.4 million of pre-tax net deferred gains for foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The amounts ultimately reclassified to earnings will depend on rates in effect when outstanding derivative contracts are settled.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On April 1, 2024, the Company made its annual grant of equity awards under the Kontoor Brands, Inc. 2019 Stock Compensation Plan, including approximately 200,000 shares of performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs”) to employees, approximately 150,000 shares of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees, and approximately 20,000 shares of RSUs to nonemployee members of the Board of Directors. The fair market value of Kontoor Common Stock at the date the awards were granted was $60.35 per share and was used to value the RSUs and Director RSUs.
Each PRSU entitles the employee to receive a potential final payout ranging from zero to two shares of Kontoor Common Stock at the end of a three-year performance period. The number of shares earned by participants, if any, is based on achievement of performance goals set by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The actual number of shares earned may also be adjusted upward or downward by up to 25% of the target award, subject to a 0% floor, based on how Kontoor’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over a three-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in a Company-selected peer group. Shares earned related to the 2024 grants will be issued to participants following the conclusion of the three-year performance period.
Each employee RSU entitles the holder to one share of Kontoor Common Stock and typically vests over a three-year period. Each RSU granted to a nonemployee member of the Board of Directors vests upon grant and will be settled in one share of Kontoor Common Stock one year from the date of grant.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 2024 was 20.0% compared to 23.4% in the 2023 period. The six months ended June 2024 included a net discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock-based compensation which decreased the effective income tax rate by 1.2%. The six months ended June 2023 included a net discrete tax expense primarily related to a remeasurement of deferred tax assets associated with a tax holiday granted from local income taxes in a foreign jurisdiction which increased the effective income tax rate by 3.9%. The effective tax rate without discrete items for the six months ended June 2024 was 21.2% compared to 19.5% in the 2023 period. This increase was primarily due to changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings.
During the six months ended June 2024, the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest increased by $0.7 million to $14.3 million. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $2.2 million within the next 12 fiscal months due to expiration of statutes of limitations, which would reduce income tax expense.

Fiscal Year
Fiscal Year
The Company operates and reports using a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 of each year. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q presents the second quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending December 28, 2024 ("fiscal 2024"), which is a 52-week fiscal year. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023 correspond to the fiscal periods ended June 29, 2024, December 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023, respectively.
Basis of Presentation - Interim Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation - Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for fiscal 2024. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2024 ("2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations," which requires entities that provide supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose key terms of the programs, outstanding confirmed amounts as of period end, a description of where those obligations are presented in the balance sheets and an annual rollforward of obligations. This guidance was adopted by the Company during the first quarter of 2023, except for the requirement to include an annual rollforward of obligations which is effective beginning in 2024 and will be disclosed in our 2024 annual report on Form 10-K. Refer to Note 6 to the Company's financial statements for additional information related to our supply chain finance programs.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This guidance is effective for annual disclosures in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This guidance requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires disclosure of specific categories and greater disaggregation within the income tax rate reconciliation, and disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is based on the observability and objectivity of the pricing inputs, as follows:
•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 — Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. These inputs would normally be the Company's own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
