Kontoor Brands delivered much stronger results in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, helped by the Helly Hansen acquisition, tariff refunds and solid Wrangler performance. Net revenues rose to $613.3 million, up 45% from a year ago, with Helly Hansen contributing $176.0 million. Gross margin expanded to 53.7%, an 810 basis point increase, driven by U.S. tariff refunds, Project Jeanius efficiencies and a richer mix from Helly Hansen.
Income from continuing operations increased to $61.0 million from $10.2 million, and diluted EPS from continuing operations rose to $1.09 from $0.18.
