GREENSBORO, N.C. – May 4, 2023 - Kontoor Brands, Inc. (NYSE: KTB), a global lifestyle apparel company, with a portfolio led by two of the world’s most iconic consumer brands, Wrangler® and Lee®, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended April 1, 2023.
“We delivered first quarter results consistent with our expectations and commentary provided on the fourth quarter earnings call. As anticipated, our brands continued to gain share in the U.S. where POS outpaced shipments in the quarter. Increases domestically were muted by expected softness in International markets. In addition to share gains and positive sell through, robust performance in our own DTC during the quarter further validates that our brands are connecting with consumers and winning in a challenging marketplace,” said Scott Baxter, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of Kontoor Brands.
“We continue to assume macroeconomic pressures will weigh on consumer demand in the second half of 2023, particularly in the U.S. However, we believe that our increasingly diversified growth across channels, categories and geographies, enabled by strategic investments in DTC, demand creation and data analytics will generate more sustained, profitable growth over time. This gives us confidence in reaffirming our 2023 outlook, despite the uneven backdrop. These resilient fundamentals should, when coupled with our solid balance sheet and capital allocation optionality, uniquely position us to yield superior returns for all KTB stakeholders going forward,” added Baxter.
This release refers to “constant currency” amounts, which are further described in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below. All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis. Unless otherwise noted, “reported” and “constant currency” amounts are the same.
First Quarter 2023 Income Statement Review
Revenue was $667 million, a 2 percent decrease (1 percent decrease in constant currency) over the same period in the prior year. Revenue increases, primarily driven by strength in domestic wholesale and DTC, were more than offset by decreases in International wholesale, primarily driven by the continued impacts of COVID-policy changes in China.
U.S. revenue was $518 million, increasing 2 percent over the same period in the prior year. U.S. wholesale increased 1 percent compared to the first quarter 2022, including strength in digital wholesale which increased 11 percent compared to last year. These gains were augmented by continued strength in DTC, with U.S. own.com revenue increasing 15 percent compared to the same period last year.
International revenue was $149 million, a 14 percent decrease (9 percent decrease in constant currency) over the same period in the prior year driven by softness in wholesale, which was somewhat offset by strong DTC performance. International DTC increased 10 percent (17 percent increase in constant currency) compared to the same period last year. As expected, China decreased 36 percent (31 percent decrease in constant currency) compared to the first quarter 2022, driven by impacts in the wholesale channel from the COVID-policy changes. China DTC increased 3 percent (11 percent in constant currency) compared to the same period last year. Europe decreased 7 percent (1 percent decrease in constant currency) over the same period last year, with wholesale pressures more than offsetting gains in DTC. Europe DTC increased 15 percent (22 percent increase in constant currency) compared to the same period last year.
Wrangler brand global revenue was $423 million, a 3 percent increase from the same period in the prior year. Wrangler U.S. revenue increased 3 percent compared to the same period last year, driven by increased shipments in U.S. wholesale reflecting category diversification including non-denim bottoms, Outdoor and Workwear. Wrangler U.S. DTC increased 16 percent compared to the same period last year. Wrangler international revenue was flat (5 percent increase in constant currency) compared to the first quarter 2022, with broad-based constant currency gains in both wholesale and DTC.
Lee brand global revenue was $241 million, a 9 percent decrease (7 percent decrease in constant currency) from the same period in the prior year. Lee U.S. revenue was flat compared to the same period last year, with gains in own.com offset by softness in wholesale. Lee U.S. DTC increased 8 percent compared to the same period last year. Lee international revenue decreased 20 percent (16 percent decrease in constant currency) compared to the first quarter 2022, driven primarily by reductions in China wholesale due to the impact of COVID-policy changes.
Gross margin decreased 180 basis points to 43.0 percent of revenue compared to the same period last year. As expected, and as indicated in prior commentary, higher inflationary pressures on input costs and geographic mix, as well as impacts from proactive actions in managing internal production, including downtime, primarily drove the decline. The decline was partially offset by strategic pricing and moderating transitory costs such as air freight.
Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses were $192 million or 28.7 percent of revenue, in the first quarter, decreasing 20 basis points compared to the same period in the prior year. As expected, continued strategic investments in DTC were more than offset by lower compensation costs and tight controls of discretionary expenses.
Operating income was $95 million in the first quarter. Operating margin of 14.2 percent decreased 170 basis points compared to the same period in the prior year. Benefits from tight expense controls, lower compensation costs and strategic pricing were more than offset by higher inflationary pressures on input costs and geographic mix, as well as impacts from proactive actions in managing internal production, including downtime.
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) was $102 million in the first quarter. EBITDA margin of 15.3 percent decreased 200 basis points compared to EBITDA margin during the same period in the prior year.
Earnings per share was $1.16 in the first quarter, compared to $1.40 in the same period last year.
April 1, 2023, Balance Sheet and Liquidity Review
The Company ended the first quarter 2023 with $53 million in cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $0.8 billion in long-term debt.
As of April 1, 2023, the Company had $50 million outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $438 million available for borrowing against this facility.
As previously announced, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.48 per share, payable on June 20, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 9, 2023.
Inventory at the end of Q1 fiscal 2023 was $660 million, up 52 percent compared to the prior-year period, sequentially improving from Q4’22, and up 27 percent compared to pre-pandemic 2019 levels. Nearly 90 percent of inventory at the end of the first quarter was core product. The Company is taking proactive actions and expects inventory growth to be in line with sales growth by the end of the third quarter of 2023.
2023 Outlook
The Company is reaffirming its prior outlook for FY’23 provided on February 28, 2023, with select updates to quarterly cadence. Although the impacts from near-term macroeconomic factors are uncertain, the Company remains focused on execution to deliver continued strong share gains in the U.S. and to drive structural gross margin improvement in accretive categories, channels and geographies. The Company remains confident in its strategy and expects to continue investing in its brands and capabilities in support of longer-term profitable revenue growth and anticipates robust cash generation as inventory normalizes in 2023.
Thus, the Company is providing its 2023 guidance including the following:
•Revenue is expected to increase at a low-single digit percentage over 2022 with first and second half performance relatively balanced. The Company continues to expect first half of 2023 to be driven by the U.S. with momentum in POS, share gains and DTC. Compared to the prior outlook, Q2’23 U.S. performance is now expected to be somewhat tempered by shipments continuing to lag POS, while China is now anticipated to see stronger growth in Q2’23 relative to previous assumptions. During the second half of 2023, the Company continues to assume macro consumer demand conditions will be more challenged in the U.S., with the China market more fully reopening.
•Gross margin is expected to be in the range of 43.5 percent to 44.0 percent, increasing 40 to 90 basis points compared to gross margin of 43.1 percent in 2022. The Company continues to expect gross margin expansion in the second half driven by geographic and DTC mix, normalizing production and reduced input cost pressures. Compared to the prior outlook, year-on-year gross margin pressure should be most pronounced in the second quarter due to proactive actions in managing internal production, including downtime, as well as peak inflation with our highest cost goods flowing through the P&L. These impacts are now expected to be offset by greater second half benefits from geographic mix, improved efficiencies and normalizing production.
•SG&A investments will continue to be made in the Company’s brands and capabilities in support of longer-term profitable revenue growth, including demand creation, DTC, and International expansion. Compared to adjusted SG&A in 2022, the Company expects full year SG&A to increase at a mid-single digit percentage. Compared to the prior outlook, SG&A growth is now expected to be more relatively balanced between the first and second half, with amplified investments in demand creation during Q2’23 offset by greater second half benefits from reductions in non-strategic spend and tighter cost controls.
•EPS is expected to be in the range of $4.55 to $4.75, consistent with the prior outlook. Due primarily to gross margin, the Company expects EPS on a dollar basis to be more weighted to the second half of 2023. The Company now expects a one-time discrete tax charge in the second quarter will adversely impact Q2’23 EPS by approximately $0.10.
•Capital Expenditures are expected to be in the range of $35 million to $40 million, primarily to support IT projects, growth in owned retail stores, manufacturing and distribution investments.
•The Company expects an effective tax rate of 20 percent to 21 percent, including the one-time discrete tax charge in Q2’23. Interest expense is expected to be in the range of $33 million to $38 million. Other Expense is expected to be in the range of $5 million to $10 million. Average shares outstanding are expected to be approximately 57 million, excluding the impact of any additional share repurchases.

Constant Currency Financial Information
The Company is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by the Company from translating its foreign revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results. As a supplement to our reported operating results, we present constant currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We use constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how our business performed excluding the effects of changes in the rates used to calculate foreign currency translation. Management believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in our businesses.
To calculate foreign currency translation on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period).
These constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, reported results under GAAP. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
