Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Kontoor Brands reported strong second-quarter 2026 results and raised its full-year outlook. Revenue from continuing operations was $584 million, up 19% year over year, driven by $114 million from Helly Hansen and 2% growth in Wrangler. Reported gross margin reached 56.2%, while adjusted gross margin of 53.8% expanded 710 basis points. Adjusted operating income was $94 million, up 19%, and adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $1.06, up 13%, despite a loss contribution from Helly Hansen that still exceeded expectations.

The company raised its 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to $5.25–$5.35 and adjusted gross margin to 49.8–50.0%, implying 12–13% revenue growth and 330–350 basis points of gross margin expansion versus 2025. 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.

Positive

  • Q2 revenue growth and margin expansion: Revenue from continuing operations rose 19% to $584 million, with adjusted gross margin improving 710 bps to 53.8% and adjusted operating income up 19% to $94 million.
  • Stronger earnings and raised guidance: Adjusted EPS from continuing operations grew 13% to $1.06, and full-year 2026 adjusted EPS outlook increased to $5.25–$5.35, implying 27–29% year-over-year growth.
  • Helly Hansen performance: Helly Hansen delivered $114 million in Q2 revenue and moved from a segment loss in 2025 to a Q2 2026 segment profit of $1.9 million, with double-digit pro forma first-half growth.
  • Significant capital return plans: The company expects to return more than $900 million in 2026 via share repurchases, dividends and voluntary debt payments, including a planned $400 million accelerated share repurchase funded by Lee divestiture proceeds.
  • Deleveraging trajectory: With $1.13 billion in long-term debt and planned voluntary term loan payments of $225 million in 2026, management targets a net leverage ratio below 1.5x by year-end.
  • Tariff refunds and cash support: The company recognized a $54 million receivable for IEEPA tariff refunds and had received $23 million by early Q3 2026, supporting its outlook for about $450 million of cash from operations.
  • Dividend and buybacks: A quarterly dividend of $0.53 per share was declared, and the company repurchased $50 million of stock in Q2 at $74 per share, with $700 million remaining under the repurchase authorization.

Negative

  • GAAP earnings pressure in the quarter: Q2 2026 net income declined 12% year over year to $64.8 million, and income from discontinued operations (Lee) fell 49% to $7.8 million.
  • Rising operating and financing costs: Q2 selling, general and administrative expenses increased 38% to $237.7 million, and interest expense rose 16% to $15.7 million, pressuring profitability despite higher revenue.
  • Weaker cash generation from continuing operations: Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the first six months of 2026 was $39.6 million, down from $68.8 million in the prior-year period.
  • Tariff and trade policy uncertainty: New Section 301 tariffs of 10–12.5% on key sourcing countries and unresolved recovery of Section 122 tariffs introduce ongoing cost and margin risk.
  • Volatile other income line: Other (expense) income, net swung from income of $30.5 million in Q2 2025 to an expense of $3.7 million in Q2 2026, reducing income before tax despite operating improvements.

Filing Explained

Tariff recoveries are at different stages: $23 million of IEEPA refunds has arrived, while Section 122 recovery remains unrecorded and tied to litigation.

This Form 8-K updates tariff recoveries: the company has received $23 million of the $54 million IEEPA-duty receivable recognized during the first quarter, and expects the balance by fiscal 2026 year-end.

For Section 122 tariffs, the company has recorded no receivable and says it is monitoring litigation over potential recovery, so that recovery is not recognized in the reported figures.

IEEPA Tariff Receivable $54 million Net receivable recognized for expected refunds of previously paid IEEPA duties
Long-Term Debt $1,126,666 Long-term debt balance at June 2026
Accelerated Share Repurchase financial
"intends to deploy the expected proceeds into a $400 million Accelerated Share Repurchase agreement"
An accelerated share repurchase is a deal where a company hires a bank to buy back a large block of its own stock immediately on the open market, with the bank later settling the exact number of shares over time. For investors it matters because the immediate reduction in shares outstanding can raise per‑share earnings and often supports the stock price, but it also uses company cash or borrowing and can change liquidity and future growth funding.
Project Jeanius financial
"driven by the benefits of Project Jeanius, the acquisition of Helly Hansen and the impact of favorable mix"
International Emergency Economic Powers Act regulatory
"Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act"
A U.S. law that gives the president broad authority to control trade, financial transactions, and assets during a declared national emergency, such as by imposing sanctions, freezing property, or restricting exports and imports. For investors it matters because those powers can suddenly block deals, cut off access to markets or funds, and change the value of companies or securities much like an emergency brake that can stop or reroute economic activity overnight.
Section 301 tariff regulatory
"the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative implemented new Section 301 tariff rates of between 10 percent and 12.5 percent"
A Section 301 tariff is a customs duty imposed under a government trade law that lets authorities penalize foreign practices judged to be unfair to domestic businesses. Think of it like a targeted tax or penalty on specific imported goods; it matters to investors because it can raise costs, reshape supply chains, change competitive dynamics and company profits, and introduce regulatory uncertainty that affects stock valuations.
constant currency financial
"Business Segment Information – Continuing Operations - Constant Currency Basis (Non-GAAP)"
Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.
adjusted EBITDA financial
"In addition, adjusted EBITDA is a key financial measure for the Company's shareholders and financial leaders"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Revenue from continuing operations $584,288 19% increase vs Q2 2025
Adjusted EPS from continuing operations $1.06 13% increase vs Q2 2025
Adjusted gross margin 53.8% 710 basis point increase vs Q2 2025
Adjusted operating income $94 million 19% increase vs Q2 2025
Full-year 2026 revenue outlook $2.66–$2.71 billion Represents 12–13% growth vs prior year
Full-year 2026 adjusted EPS outlook $5.25–$5.35 Represents 27–29% growth vs prior year; raised from $5.15–$5.25
Guidance

Management expects 2026 adjusted gross margin of 49.8–50.0%, adjusted operating income of $413–$420 million including $25 million of incremental investments, capital expenditures of about $30 million, effective tax rate of ~20%, interest expense of ~$56 million, and total cash from operations of approximately $450 million.

GREENSBORO, N.C. - August 12, 2026 - Kontoor Brands, Inc. (NYSE: KTB) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended July 4, 2026.

“Our second quarter results were driven by growth from Wrangler, a stronger-than-expected contribution from Helly Hansen and robust gross margin expansion,” said Scott Baxter, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. "Wrangler delivered another quarter of diversified growth led by strong performance in female, direct-to-consumer and international, coupled with exceptional profitability and cash generation. Helly Hansen delivered a better-than-expected quarter and for the first half of 2026, delivered double-digit revenue growth on a pro-


forma basis and significant profitability improvement fueled in part by the benefits of our multi-brand platform."

Joe Alkire, Kontoor Brands’ President and Chief Financial Officer added, "As we look ahead, we are sharpening our portfolio focus and increased investment on our largest growth opportunities. We are raising our full year outlook based on the strength we have seen in our year-to-date results, and our confidence and visibility as we enter the second half of the year. With the Lee divestiture on track to close in the fourth quarter, we intend to deploy $400 million of the expected proceeds into an Accelerated Share Repurchase agreement based on the confidence we have in our long-term strategy and value creation potential."

Second Quarter 2026 Income Statement from Continuing Operations Review

Revenue was $584 million and increased 19 percent compared to prior year, including the contribution from the acquisition of Helly Hansen completed in the second quarter of 2025.

Wrangler brand global revenue was $469 million and increased 2 percent compared to prior year. Wrangler U.S. revenue increased 1 percent, driven by a 9 percent increase in direct-to-consumer. U.S. wholesale was flat compared to prior year. Wrangler international revenue increased 10 percent compared to prior year, driven by a 31 percent increase in direct-to-consumer and a 7 percent increase in wholesale.

Helly Hansen global revenue was $114 million. Sport and Workwear revenue was $70 million and $37 million, respectively. Musto brand revenue was $7 million.

Gross margin on a reported basis increased 970 basis points to 56.2 percent. On an adjusted basis, gross margin increased 710 basis points to 53.8 percent compared to prior year, driven by the benefits of Project Jeanius, the acquisition of Helly Hansen and the impact of favorable channel mix, product mix and pricing.

Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses were $238 million, or 40.7 percent of revenue on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, SG&A expenses increased to $221 million, or 37.8 percent of revenue. The increase in SG&A expenses was driven by the impact of a full quarter of Helly Hansen expenses compared to prior year, and increased investments in direct-to-consumer, demand creation and technology, partially offset by the benefits from Project Jeanius.

Operating income was $91 million on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, operating income was $94 million and increased 19 percent compared to prior year. Adjusted operating margin was 16 percent, reflecting a 10 basis point increase compared to prior year.

Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.03 on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, EPS was $1.06, reflecting an increase of 13 percent compared to prior year. This includes a $0.06 loss per share from Helly Hansen, which significantly exceeded expectations.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity from Continuing Operations Review

The Company ended the second quarter with $58 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $1.1 billion in long-term debt. At the end of the second quarter, the Company had no outstanding


borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $493 million available for borrowing against this facility.

Inventory at the end of the second quarter was $526 million, down 3 percent compared to prior year driven primarily by a reduction in inventory in the Helly Hansen business.

As previously announced, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.53 per share, payable on September 18, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 8, 2026.

The Company returned $80 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the second quarter, including the repurchase of $50 million of common stock at an average price per share of $74. Year-to-date, the Company repurchased $75 million of common stock at an average price per share of $75. At the end of the quarter, the Company had $700 million remaining under its existing share repurchase authorization.

Tariff Update

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize tariffs, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund all IEEPA duties previously paid. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company recognized a net receivable of $54 million based on the probability of the recovery of IEEPA tariffs previously paid. In July 2026, the Company began to receive IEEPA refunds and has received $23 million thus far in the third quarter of 2026. The Company expects to receive the remaining IEEPA refunds by the end of fiscal 2026.

In May 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that Section 122 tariffs were also invalid and these tariffs expired on July 24, 2026. The Company's year-to-date financial results include the previously paid and expensed tariffs under Section 122. The Company has not recorded a receivable related to Section 122 tariffs and continues to monitor ongoing litigation related to the potential recovery of these tariffs.

In July 2026, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative implemented new Section 301 tariff rates of between 10 percent and 12.5 percent on products imported from the majority of the Company's current trading partners. Based on currently available information, the Company’s imports from Mexico to the U.S. remain exempt under USMCA.

The Company’s outlook continues to assume a 15 percent reciprocal tariff rate for the second half of 2026. On an adjusted basis, the Company has excluded any impacts of the 2025-related IEEPA tariffs in its 2026 outlook.

The Company continues to evaluate the potential impact of the reciprocal trade framework between the United States and Bangladesh. The Company utilizes U.S. grown cotton in more than 80 percent of products sourced from Bangladesh which may qualify for a duty exemption under the trade framework.

Updated Full Year 2026 Outlook from Continuing Operations



Prior 2026 OutlookUpdated 2026 Outlook
Revenue $2.66 to $2.71 billion$2.66 to $2.71 billion
Adjusted EPS $5.15 to $5.25$5.25 to $5.35

The Company continues to expect the divestiture of Lee to be immaterial to earnings per share over a 12-to-18-month period. The earnings contribution of the Lee business will be offset through capital deployment of expected proceeds from the divestiture, and mitigation of overhead and other expenses that were previously allocated to the Lee business, through restructuring and other cost actions.

The Company’s full year 2026 outlook also includes the following assumptions:

•Revenue is expected to be in the range of $2.66 to $2.71 billion, representing growth of approximately 12 to 13 percent compared to prior year. Second-half revenue is expected to increase in the mid-single digit range for both Wrangler and Helly Hansen, excluding the impact of the 53rd week in 2025. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the 53rd week benefited Wrangler revenue growth by 8 percentage points and Helly Hansen revenue by $3 million.

•Adjusted gross margin is now expected to be in the range of 49.8 to 50.0 percent, representing an increase of 330 to 350 basis points compared to prior year. The updated outlook compares to the prior outlook of 48.3 to 48.5 percent and primarily reflects stronger-than-expected year-to-date results and contribution from Helly Hansen.

•Adjusted SG&A expenses are now expected to increase approximately 23 percent compared to prior year, including the impact of a full year of Helly Hansen expenses. The Company's updated outlook includes approximately $25 million of incremental brand-building and other growth-enabling investments as compared to the prior outlook.

•Adjusted operating income is now expected to be in the range of $413 to $420 million, including $25 million of incremental investments, representing an increase of 15 to 17 percent compared to prior year.

•Adjusted EPS is now expected to be in the range of $5.25 to $5.35, including the impact of approximately $0.55 of unmitigated overhead and other expenses that were previously allocated to the Lee business. This compares to the prior outlook of $5.15 to $5.25. The Company's updated outlook includes approximately $0.36 per share of incremental investments as compared to the prior outlook. The Company's updated outlook does not include the impact of any future share repurchases, including those from the expected proceeds of the planned divestiture of the Lee business.

•Capital expenditures are now expected to be approximately $30 million.

•The Company expects an effective tax rate of approximately 20 percent on adjusted pre-tax earnings, including the benefit of tax synergies from Helly Hansen.



•Interest expense is now expected to be approximately $56 million. The outlook for interest expense does not include the impact of additional voluntary debt payments with a portion of the expected proceeds from the planned divestiture of the Lee business.

•Other expense is now expected to be approximately $14 million.

•Average shares outstanding are now expected to be approximately 55.5 million. The outlook for average shares outstanding does not include the impact of any future share repurchases, including those from the expected proceeds of the planned divestiture of the Lee business.

•The Company continues to expect total cash from operations of approximately $450 million, including the expected contribution from the Lee business which is reported in discontinued operations.

•The Company expects to make voluntary term loan payments of $225 million, excluding the impact of additional debt payments with a portion of the expected proceeds from the planned divestiture of the Lee business. The Company expects to achieve a net leverage ratio below 1.5 times by year-end.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release refers to “adjusted”, “organic” and “constant currency” amounts from 2026 and 2025, which are further described in the sections below. All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis. Amounts as presented herein may not recalculate due to the use of unrounded numbers.

Adjusted Amounts - This release refers to “adjusted” amounts. Adjustments during 2026 represent (i) business optimization activities associated with the continued execution of Project Jeanius, including a gain from the closure and sale of one of our manufacturing facilities, (ii) integration-related costs associated with the Helly Hansen integration and, (iii) the impacts of the 2025 IEEPA-related tariffs on the second quarter 2026 results. Adjustments during 2025 represent (i) restructuring and transformation costs related to business optimization activities associated with Project Jeanius, (ii) actions to streamline and transfer select production within our internal manufacturing network and, (iii) acquisition and integration-related costs associated with the Helly Hansen acquisition. Additional information regarding adjusted amounts is provided in notes to the supplemental financial information included with this release.

Organic Amounts - This release refers to “organic” amounts, which represent operating results excluding contributions from the Helly Hansen® and Musto® brands.

Constant Currency - This release refers to “reported” amounts in accordance with GAAP, which include translation and transactional impacts from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.


This release also refers to “constant currency” amounts, which exclude the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release that identifies and quantifies all reconciling adjustments and provides management's view of why this non-GAAP information is useful to investors. While management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the business, this information should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternate for, reported results under GAAP. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company in this release may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies.

For forward-looking non-GAAP measures included in this filing, the Company does not provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because the information needed to reconcile these measures is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that have not yet occurred and have been excluded from adjusted measures. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort.

consumer demand for apparel; reliance on a small number of large customers; potential difficulty in integrating Helly Hansen and/or in achieving the expected growth, cost savings and/or synergies from the acquisition; potential risks and uncertainties in completing the sale of the Lee business, if at all, and potential risks in segregating and disposing of the Lee business and the Company’s ability to mitigate any stranded costs from the potential disposition; 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; 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; the Company maintaining satisfactory credit ratings; restrictions on the Company's business relating to its debt obligations; 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, including as a result of tariffs and reciprocal tariffs; 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; potential challenges with the Company's implementation of Project Jeanius; 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; legal, regulatory, political and economic risks; the impact of climate change and related legislative and regulatory responses; stakeholder response to sustainability issues, including those related to climate change; 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; volatility in the price and trading volume of the Company's common stock; anti-takeover provisions in the Company's organizational documents; market conditions, timing and ability to institute an appropriate Accelerated Share Repurchase program; and general fluctuations in the amount and frequency under 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 most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports and statements that the Company files with the SEC.

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. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company refined its calculation methodology for the non-GAAP unaudited adjustments for foreign currency exchange, and accordingly, has presented the six-month period ended June 2026 on a comparable basis. 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.

Notes to Supplemental Financial Information - Reconciliation of Adjusted and Adjusted Organic Financial Measures
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally in its budgeting and review process and, in some cases, as a factor in determining compensation. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is a key financial measure for the Company's shareholders and financial leaders, as the Company's debt financing agreements require the measurement of adjusted EBITDA, along with other measures, in connection with the Company's compliance with debt covenants. While management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the business, this information should be considered supplemental in nature and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternate for, reported results under GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Total restructuring and transformation costs resulted in a corresponding tax impact of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 2026.
During the three months ended June 2025, restructuring and transformation costs included $6.9 million related to business optimization activities and $0.5 million related to streamlining and transferring select production within our internal manufacturing network.
