Kontoor Brands, Inc. reported strong year-to-date performance for fiscal 2026. Net revenues from continuing operations rose to $1.20 billion for the six months ended June 2026 from $915.6 million a year earlier, driven by the full-period inclusion of the Helly Hansen® business and growth in Wrangler®. Income from continuing operations increased to $118.1 million from $68.9 million, while total net income, including discontinued operations, reached $157.2 million versus $116.8 million.
The Company is reshaping its portfolio by agreeing to sell the global Lee® business for $750.0 million in cash plus a $250.0 million earnout, classifying Lee® as held-for-sale and reporting it as discontinued operations, which contributed $39.2 million of income in the first half. Kontoor completed the $934.7 million acquisition of Helly Hansen in 2025; that business generated $272.3 million of revenue and $21.5 million of segment profit in the first half of 2026. The Company recognized a $53.7 million receivable related to U.S. tariff refunds and reduced cost of goods sold by about $49.0 million in the first quarter.
Operating cash flow was $93.6 million for the first six months, and long-term debt stood at $1.13 billion at June 2026, with compliance with all covenants and $493.3 million available under the revolving credit facility. Kontoor continues shareholder returns through a $750.0 million repurchase authorization (with $700.0 million remaining) and quarterly dividends of $0.53 per share. Management notes ongoing macroeconomic and tariff-related uncertainties affecting supply chain, costs and demand.

Management plans to divest the Lee business in the fourth quarter and, upon closing, direct $400 million of proceeds into an accelerated share repurchase, with remaining proceeds used for voluntary debt reduction. Kontoor expects to return more than $900 million of capital in 2026 and to reach a net leverage ratio below 1.5x by year-end, supported by expected cash from operations of about $450 million and tariff refunds related to prior IEEPA duties.
Kontoor Brands, Inc. has agreed under a May 20, 2026 Stock Purchase Agreement to sell all of the outstanding shares of its wholly owned Lee business to ABG-Storm LLC, an affiliate of Authentic Brands Group, with closing subject to specified conditions and required regulatory approvals.
