(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — iBASIS
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, produces, procures, markets and distributes 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, mid-tier and traditional department stores, company-operated stores and online. The
Company's products are also sold internationally, primarily in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions, through department, specialty, company-operated, concession retail and independently-operated partnership stores and online.
iFiscal 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 31, 2022 ("fiscal 2022"), which is a 52-week fiscal year. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended June 2022, December 2021 and June 2021 correspond to the fiscal periods ended July 2, 2022, January 1, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively.
Impact of COVID-19 and Other Recent Developments
The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related supply chain and market disruptions continue to adversely impact global economic conditions, as well as the Company's operations. Additionally, although we do not have any significant
operations within Russia or Ukraine, the conflict in these regions has caused 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 and contract termination, 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 6 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 COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
i
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 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for fiscal 2022. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements included in the
Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2022 ("2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
i
Recently Issued Accounting Standard
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform
on Financial Reporting,” which is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance was effective upon issuance and the Company may adopt the guidance and apply it prospectively to contract modifications made or relationships entered into or evaluated any time from the issuance date through December 31, 2022. The
Company will continue to evaluate the impact that adoption of this guidance would have on its financial statements and related disclosures, most notably the Company's credit facilities and interest rate swap agreements, which is not expected to be significant.
(a)
Included within "prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Company's balance sheets.
(b) Included within "accrued liabilities" in the Company's balance sheets.
/
For the three and six months ended June 2022 and June 2021, revenue recognized that was included in contract liabilities as of December 2021 and December 2020, respectively, was not significant.
As of June 2022, the
Company has contractual rights under its licensing agreements to receive $i41.4 million of fixed consideration related to the future minimum guarantees through December 2027. As of June 2022, there were no arrangements with any transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations other than (i) contracts for which the Company has applied the practical expedients
and (ii) fixed consideration related to future minimum guarantees. For the three and six months ended June 2022, revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in prior periods was not significant. The variable consideration under these arrangements is not disclosed as a remaining performance obligation as the licensing arrangements qualify for the sales-based royalty exemption.
Disaggregation of Revenue
i
The following tables present revenues disaggregated
by channel and geography. Revenues from licensing arrangements have been included within the U.S. or Non-U.S. Wholesale channels, based on the respective region where the licensee sells the product. Direct-to-Consumer revenues include sales at Wrangler® and Lee® branded full-price stores and company-operated outlet stores, digital sales at www.wrangler.com and www.lee.com and sales from international concession arrangements.
Other primarily includes other revenue sources, including sales and licensing of Rock & Republic®
apparel. Other also included sales of third-party branded merchandise at company-owned outlet stores through the first quarter of 2021.
•Wrangler — Wrangler® branded denim, apparel and accessories.
•Lee — Lee® branded denim,
apparel and accessories.
The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based on a global brand view which determines the Company's operating segments. Operating segments are the basis for the Company's reportable segments.
In addition, we report an "Other" category in order to reconcile segment revenues and segment profit to the Company's operating results, but the Other category is not considered a reportable segment based on evaluation of aggregation criteria. Other primarily includes other revenue sources, including sales and licensing of Rock & Republic®
apparel.
Accounting policies utilized for internal management reporting at the individual segments are consistent with those disclosed in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Corporate and other expenses and interest income and expense are not controlled by segment management and therefore are excluded from the measurement of segment profit.

Credit
Facilities
On November 18, 2021, the Company completed a refinancing pursuant to which it issued $i400.0 million of Notes (as defined below) and amended and restated its Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a ifive-year
$i400.0 million term loan A facility (“Term Loan A”), with mandatory repayments beginning in March 2023 and (ii) a ifive-year $i500.0 million
revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”) with the lenders and agents party thereto. The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with $i7.6 million of cash on hand, were used to repay $i265.0 million
of the principal amount outstanding under the then existing term loan A, and all of the $i133.0 million principal amount outstanding under the then existing term loan B.
Term Loan A had an outstanding principal amount of $ii400.0/ million
at both June 2022 and December 2021, and at June 2021, the then existing term loan A had an outstanding principal amount of $i665.0 million. These balances are reported net of unamortized deferred financing costs. As of June 2022, interest expense on Term Loan A was being recorded at an effective annual interest rate of i3.4%,
including the amortization of deferred financing costs and the impact of the Company’s interest rate swap.
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 $i75.0 million letter of credit sublimit. As of June 2022, the Company had ino
outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $i12.1 million of outstanding standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company, leaving $i487.9 million
available for borrowing against this facility.
The interest rate per annum applicable to the Credit Agreement 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 i4.50
to 1.00 as of the last day of any test period, with an allowance for up to itwo elections to increase the limit to i5.00
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 i3.00 to 1.00. As of June 2022, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants and expects to maintain compliance with the applicable financial 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 $i400.0 million
of unsecured senior notes due November 2029 (the “Notes”) through a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of i4.125% per annum, payable in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
The Notes had an outstanding principal amount of $ii400.0/ million
at both June 2022 and December 2021, which is reported net of unamortized deferred financing costs. As of June 2022, interest expense on the Notes was being recorded at an effective annual interest rate of i4.3%, 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 2022, the Company was in compliance with the Indenture.

NOTE 7 — iFAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS
i
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
i
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 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 2022, the carrying value of the Company's
long-term debt was $i792.0 million compared to a fair value of $i693.0 million. At December 2021, the carrying value of the Company's
long-term debt was $i791.3 million compared to a fair value of $i797.5 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 2022 and December 2021, their carrying values approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
NOTE 8 — iDERIVATIVE
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 $i294.9
million at June 2022, $i297.4 million at December 2021 and $i310.3 million at June 2021, 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 i20 months.
During 2019, the Company entered into "floating to fixed" interest rate swap agreements to mitigate exposure to volatility in LIBOR rates on the Company's
future interest payments. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements was $i300.0 million at June 2022 and $ii350.0/
million at both December 2021 and June 2021. Because these interest rate swap agreements meet the criteria for hedge accounting, all related gains and losses are deferred within accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") and are being amortized through April 18, 2024.
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 would discontinue hedge accounting. All designated hedging relationships were determined to be highly effective as of June 2022. A limited number of foreign currency exchange contracts intended to hedge assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
i
The following table presents the fair value of outstanding derivatives on an individual contract
basis:
The Company records and presents the fair value of all derivative assets and liabilities in the Company's balance sheets on a gross basis, even though certain derivative contracts are subject to master netting agreements. 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.

i
The following tables present the pre-tax effects of cash flow hedges included in the Company's statements of operations and statements of comprehensive income:
Contracts that are not designated as hedges and are recorded at fair value in the Company's balance sheets primarily relate to derivatives
contracts used by the Company to manage foreign currency exchange risk on certain accounts receivable and accounts payable. Gains or losses on the balance sheet contracts largely offset the net transaction gains or losses on the related assets and liabilities. In addition, a limited number of cash flow hedges were deemed ineffective and de-designated. Changes in the fair values of derivative contracts not designated as hedges are recognized directly in earnings.
i
The
following table presents a summary of these derivatives included in the Company's statements of operations:
Location
of Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income
There were no significant amounts recognized in earnings for the ineffective portion of any hedging relationships during the three and six months ended June 2022 and June 2021.
At June 2022, AOCL included $i17.4 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 9 — iCAPITAL AND ACCUMULATED OTHER
COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Common Stock
During the six months ended June 2022, the Company repurchased i1,494,853 shares of Common Stock for $i62.5 million,
including commissions, under its 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.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
The Company's comprehensive loss consists of net income and specified components of other comprehensive loss (“OCL”), which relate to changes in assets and liabilities that are not included in net income but are instead deferred and accumulated within a separate component of equity in the Company's balance sheets. The
Company's comprehensive income is presented in the Company's statements of comprehensive income.

NOTE
10 — iSTOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On April 1, 2022, the Company made its annual grant of equity awards under the Kontoor Brands, Inc. 2019 Stock Compensation Plan, including approximately i250,000
shares of performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs”) to employees, approximately i200,000 shares of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees, and approximately i20,000
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 $i41.39 per share and was used to value the RSUs and Director RSUs. The performance criteria for the PRSUs was approved by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on April 18, 2022. The fair market value of the stock on that date was $i41.13,
which was used to value the PRSUs.
Each PRSU entitles the employee to receive a potential final payout ranging from izero to itwo
shares of Kontoor Common Stock at the end of a ithree-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. Shares earned related to the 2022 grants will be issued to participants following the conclusion of the ithree-year
performance period.
Each employee RSU entitles the holder to ione share of Kontoor Common Stock and typically vests over a ithree-year
period. Each RSU granted to a nonemployee member of the Board of Directors vests upon grant and will be settled in ione share of Kontoor Common Stock ione
year from the date of grant.
NOTE 11 — iINCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 2022 was i20.0%
compared to i19.3% in the 2021 period. The six months ended June 2022 and June 2021 included a net discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock-based compensation which decreased the effective income tax rate by i0.2%
and i0.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate without discrete items for the six months ended June 2022 was i20.2%
compared to i19.9% in the 2021 period. The increase was primarily due to changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings.
During the six months ended June 2022, the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest increased by $i0.5
million to $i14.0 million. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $i0.2
million within the next 12 fiscal months due to settlements of audits and expiration of statutes of limitations, all of which would reduce income tax expense.

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 a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and 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.
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, produces, procures, markets and distributes 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, mid-tier and traditional department stores, company-operated stores and online. The Company's products are also sold internationally, primarily in the Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Asia-Pacific ("APAC") regions, through department, specialty, company-operated, concession retail and independently-operated partnership stores and online.
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 31, 2022 ("fiscal 2022"), which is a 52-week fiscal year. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended June 2022, December 2021 and June 2021 correspond to the fiscal periods ended July 2, 2022, January 1, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively.
References to fiscal 2022 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.
Impact of COVID-19 and Other Recent Developments
The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related supply chain and market disruptions continue to
adversely impact global economic conditions, as well as the Company's operations. Additionally, although we do not have any significant operations within Russia or Ukraine, the conflict in these regions has caused disruption in the surrounding areas and greater uncertainty in the global economy.
We experienced store closures and disruptions in distribution in certain regions of China during the latter part of the first quarter of 2022 and throughout the second quarter of 2022 due to the resurgence of COVID-19 and the related lockdowns and restrictions, which had a significant impact on sales in APAC during the second quarter of 2022. We took actions to manage these impacts including the expansion of our credit lines in the region to ensure sufficient liquidity. Although many regions in China had generally returned to normal operations by
the end of the second quarter of 2022, lockdowns and restrictions in certain regions and jurisdictions will continue to impact store closures and consumer behavior during the second half of 2022.
We continue to experience global supply chain disruptions, which have resulted in delays in product availability and higher freight and distribution costs, including air freight to expedite shipments to meet customer demand. We continue to work with our customers and vendors to minimize any impact. In addition, inflationary pressures increased key input costs and softened consumer demand late in the second quarter of 2022, and we expect these will continue to impact the second half of 2022.
While we anticipate continued disruption and volatility during the remainder of 2022, we believe that we are appropriately positioned to successfully manage through any known operational challenges.
Business
Overview
We have undergone transformational change to improve operational performance, address internal and external factors and set the stage for long-term profitable growth. We have launched significant initiatives to refine a global go-to-market approach that will sustain our long-term commitment to total shareholder return, some of which were accelerated due to the COVID-19 environment.
We made significant investments to support the design and implementation of our global enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system and information technology infrastructure build-out, which was completed in 2021. Certain prior year comparisons are affected by ERP implementation costs incurred in the first half of 2021, as well as a shift in the timing of certain shipments from the second quarter to the first quarter of 2021 related to the
Company's ERP implementation in North America and from the third quarter to the second quarter of 2021 related to the Company's ERP implementation in EMEA. These timing shifts will primarily have an impact on year-over-year quarterly comparisons but will not impact the full year.
Kontoor Brands, Inc. Q2 FY22 Form 10-Q 22
We have now transitioned into our Horizon 2 multi-year strategic vision, "Catalyzing Growth" which outlines four growth catalysts: (i) expansion of our core U.S. Wholesale business, (ii) category extensions such as
outdoor, tees and work, (iii) geographic expansion of our Wrangler® and Lee® brands, most notably in China, and (iv) channel expansion focused on the digital platforms in our U.S. Wholesale and Direct-to-Consumer channels. We are focused on driving brand growth and delivering long-term value to our stakeholders including our consumers, customers, shareholders, suppliers and communities around the world. To support our growth initiatives, we approved plans in July 2022 to globalize our operating model and relocate our EMEA headquarters to Switzerland, for which we will incur an estimated $18.0 million in restructuring charges during the second half of 2022. In addition to continued organic investments in our brands and capabilities, the options in our capital allocation strategy are to (i) pay down debt; (ii) provide for a superior
dividend payout; (iii) effectively manage our share repurchase authorization and (iv) act on strategic investment opportunities that may arise.
SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2022 SUMMARY
•Net revenues increased 25% to $613.6 million compared to the three months ended June 2021, driven by growth in the U.S. Wholesale channel, partially offset by a decline in the Non-U.S. Wholesale and Direct-to-Consumer channels as discussed below.
•U.S. Wholesale revenues increased 44% compared to the three months ended
June 2021, primarily due to a shift in the timing of shipments from the second quarter to the first quarter of 2021 due to the ERP implementation in North America, as well as growth in new business and our digital wholesale business. U.S. Wholesale revenues represented 77% of total revenues in the current period.
•Non-U.S. Wholesale revenues decreased 17% compared to the three months ended June 2021, due to a decline in our EMEA business driven by a shift in the timing of certain shipments from the third quarter to the second quarter of 2021 due to the ERP implementation in EMEA, a decline in our APAC business due to COVID-19 restrictions in China and a 7% unfavorable impact from foreign currency. Non-U.S. Wholesale revenues represented 13% of total revenues in the current period.
•Direct-to-Consumer revenues
decreased 6% on a global basis compared to the three months ended June 2021, driven by a decline in retail store sales and a 3% unfavorable impact from foreign currency, partially offset by growth in our U.S. owned e-commerce sites. Direct-to-Consumer revenues represented 10% of total revenues in the current period.
•Gross margin decreased 260 basis points to 43.5% compared to the three months ended June 2021, primarily driven by increased product costs, higher air freight for expedited shipments to meet demand and unfavorable geographic mix impacts, primarily from the COVID-19 restrictions in China and ERP timing shifts in EMEA. These decreases were partially offset by benefits from strategic pricing.
•Selling, general & administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased
to 29.0% compared to 38.9% for the three months ended June 2021, primarily due to lower compensation-related expense, as well as decreased costs related to the Company's global ERP implementation and information technology infrastructure build-out. These decreases were partially offset by increases in demand creation, digital spending and distribution expense in the current period.
•Net income was $62.0 million compared to $23.6 million for the three months ended June 2021, due to the results discussed above.

Three Months Ended June 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 2021
Netrevenues increased 25% due to growth in the Wrangler and Lee segments. This revenue increase was attributable to a shift in the timing of shipments from the second quarter to the first quarter of 2021 due to the ERP implementation in North America, and growth in the U.S. in new business and digital wholesale. This increase was partially offset by a decline in our EMEA business driven by a shift in the timing of certain shipments from the third quarter to the second quarter of 2021 due to the ERP implementation in EMEA, a decline in our APAC business due to COVID-19 restrictions in China and a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign
currency.
Six Months Ended June 2022 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 2021
Net revenues increased 13% due to growth in the Wrangler and Lee segments. This revenue increase was attributable to growth in our U.S. digital wholesale business, partially offset by a decline in our EMEA business driven by a shift in the timing of certain shipments from the third quarter to the second quarter of 2021 due to the ERP implementation in EMEA and a decline in our APAC business due to COVID-19 restrictions in China.

Three Months Ended June 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 2021
Gross margin decreased 260 basis points primarily driven by increased product costs, higher air freight for expedited
shipments to meet demand and unfavorable geographic mix impacts, primarily from the COVID-19 restrictions in China and ERP timing shifts in EMEA. These decreases were partially offset by benefits from strategic pricing.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 29.0% compared to 38.9%, primarily due to lower compensation-related expense, as well as decreased costs related to the Company's global ERP implementation and information technology infrastructure build-out, which were 5.0% of total net revenues for the three months ended June 2021. These decreases were partially offset by increases in demand creation, digital spending and distribution expense in the current period.
Six Months Ended June 2022 Compared to the Six Months
Ended June 2021
Gross margin decreased 190 basis points primarily driven by increased product costs, higher air freight for expedited shipments to meet demand and unfavorable geographic mix impacts, primarily from the COVID-19 restrictions in China and ERP timing shifts in EMEA. These decreases were partially offset by benefits from strategic pricing.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 29.0% compared to 34.9%, primarily due to decreased costs related to the Company's global ERP implementation and information technology infrastructure build-out, which were 4.3% of total net revenues for the six months ended June 2021, as well as lower compensation-related expense. These decreases were partially
offset by increases in distribution expense, demand creation and digital spending in the current period.
The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 2022 was 20.0% compared to 19.3% in the 2021 period. The six months ended June 2022 and June 2021 included a net discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock-based compensation which decreased the effective income tax rate by 0.2% and 0.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate without discrete items for the six months ended June 2022 was 20.2% compared to 19.9% in the 2021 period. The increase was primarily due to changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings.

•Revenues in the Americas region increased 41%, primarily due to a 52% increase in the U.S. Wholesale channel. Increases in the U.S. Wholesale channel were primarily driven by a shift in the timing of shipments from the second quarter to the first quarter of 2021 due to the ERP implementation in North America and increases in the U.S. digital wholesale business. Non-U.S. Americas wholesale revenues increased 55% primarily due to the ERP timing shift discussed above.

primarily due to declines in wholesale revenues and direct-to-consumer sales in China due to COVID-19 restrictions, and a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency.
•Revenues in the EMEA region decreased 23%, primarily due to a shift in the timing of shipments from the third quarter to the second quarter of 2021 due to the ERP implementation in EMEA, a decrease in the digital wholesale business and an 11% unfavorable impact from foreign currency.
Operating margin increased to 11.9%, compared to 10.5% for the 2021 period, primarily driven by benefits from strategic pricing and lower compensation-related expense.

Global revenues for the Lee® brand increased 7% driven by growth in the U.S. wholesale channel.
•Revenues in the Americas region increased 21%, primarily due to a 26% increase in the U.S. Wholesale channel.

Non-U.S. Americas wholesale revenues increased 19% due to the less significant impact of COVID-19 compared with the prior year period.
•Revenues in the APAC region decreased 18%, primarily due to a decline in wholesale revenues and decreased direct-to-consumer sales in China due to COVID-19 restrictions.
•Revenues
in the EMEA region decreased 8%, primarily due to a 9% unfavorable impact from foreign currency and a shift in the timing of shipments from the third quarter to the second quarter of 2021 due to the ERP implementation, partially offset by growth in the digital wholesale business.
Operating margin increased to 16.4%, compared to 16.3% for the 2021 period, primarily driven by benefits from strategic pricing, lower retail store expenses and lower compensation-related expense.

Three
Months Ended June 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 2021
Corporate and other expenses decreased $25.0 million, primarily due to decreased costs related to the Company's global ERP implementation and information technology infrastructure build-out and the exit of the transition service agreements with our former parent in August 2021.
Interest expense increased $0.6 million, primarily due to higher borrowing rates for long-term debt during the three months ended June 2022, partially offset by lower amortization of original issue discount and debt issuance costs and lower average principal outstanding compared to the three months ended June 2021.
Six Months Ended June 2022 Compared to the Six
Months Ended June 2021
Corporate and other expenses decreased $46.5 million, primarily due to decreased costs related to the Company's global ERP implementation and information technology infrastructure build-out and the exit of the transition service agreements with our former parent in August 2021.
Interest expense decreased $3.2 million, primarily due to accelerated amortization of the original issue discount and debt issuance costs associated with early repayments on our Credit Facilities during the six months ended June 2021, as well as lower average principal outstanding compared to the six months ended June 2021.

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 continues to generate strong positive cash flows from operations and recently restructured its borrowing arrangements under more favorable terms, as discussed below. These debt obligations could restrict our future business strategies and could adversely impact our future results of operations, financial conditions or cash flows. We believe our strong positive cash flows from operations will be able to 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.
On November 18, 2021, the Company
completed a refinancing pursuant to which it issued $400.0 million of unsecured 4.125% senior notes due 2029 (the "Notes") and amended and restated its Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a five-year $400.0 million term loan A facility (“Term Loan A”), with mandatory repayments beginning in March 2023 and (ii) a five-year $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”) with the lenders and agents party thereto. The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with $7.6 million of cash on hand, were used to repay $265.0 million of the principal amount outstanding under the Company's then existing term loan A, and all of the $133.0 million principal amount outstanding under the
Company's then existing term loan B. Refer to Note 10 in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 6 to the Company's financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the Company’s debt obligations.
As of June 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Credit Agreement and expects to maintain compliance with the applicable financial 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 financial 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.
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 and a $75.0 million letter of credit sublimit.
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 2022:

Available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility is net of $12.1 million of outstanding standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company under this facility.
At June 2022, the Company had $25.6 million of borrowing availability under international lines of credit with various banks, which are uncommitted and may be terminated at any time by either the Company or the banks. During the three months ended June 2022, the Company increased its borrowing capacity under its international line of credit in China in response to economic uncertainties
resulting from COVID-19. As of June 2022, short-term borrowings included $4.6 million outstanding under international lines of credit and $0.2 million of other debt.
During the six months ended June 2022, the Company repurchased 1,494,853 shares of Common Stock for $62.5 million, including commissions, under its 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. Of the $200.0 million authorized for repurchase under the share repurchase program, $62.0 million remained available for repurchase as of June 2022.
During the six months ended June 2022, the
Company paid $51.5 million of dividends to its shareholders. On July 19, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.46 per share of the Company's Common Stock. The cash dividend will be payable on September 19, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2022.
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.
29 Kontoor Brands, Inc. Q2 FY22 Form 10-Q
We anticipate utilizing cash flows from operations to support continued investments in our brands, talent and capabilities, growth strategies, dividend payments to shareholders, repayment of our debt obligations over time and repurchases of Common Stock. Management believes that our cash balances and funds provided by operating activities, along with existing borrowing capacity and access to capital markets, taken as a whole,
provide (i) adequate liquidity to meet all of our current and long-term obligations when due, (ii) adequate liquidity to fund capital expenditures and planned dividend payouts and (iii) flexibility to repurchase Common Stock and meet investment opportunities that may arise.
We currently expect capital expenditures to range from $35.0 million to $40.0 million in 2022, primarily to support manufacturing, distribution and information technology.
The following table presents our cash flows during the periods:
During the six months ended June 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $99.4 million as compared to $120.2 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable changes in working capital accounts, primarily
related to inventory and accrued liabilities, partially offset by favorable changes in accounts receivable, net income and accounts payable.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 2022, cash used by investing activities decreased $9.6 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to declines in capitalized computer software in the current year period.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 2022, cash used by financing activities was $120.7 million as compared to $170.5 million in the prior year period. The Company repurchased $62.5 million of Common Stock during the six months ended June 2022 and made $125.0 million of term loan repayments during the six months
ended June 2021.
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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K provided a summary of our contractual obligations and commercial commitments at the end of 2021 that would require the use of funds. As of June 2022, there have been no material changes in the amounts disclosed in the 2021 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. Significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated and combined financial statements included in the 2021 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. 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 of COVID-19 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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in these policies disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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: risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which could continue to result in closed factories and stores, reduced workforces, supply chain interruption, and reduced consumer traffic and purchasing; the level of consumer demand for apparel; intense industry competition; the Company’s ability to gauge consumer preferences and product trends, and to respond to constantly changing markets; the ability to accurately forecast demand for products; 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; reliance on a small number of large customers; 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; operational difficulties and additional
expenses related to the Company’s design and implementation of its enterprise resource planning software system; 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; ability to properly collect, use, manage and secure consumer and employee data; foreign currency fluctuations; the impact of climate change and related legislative and regulatory responses; legal, regulatory, political and economic risks; changes to trade policy, including tariff and import/export regulations; 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; the Company’s ability to maintain effective internal controls; 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; 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; volatility in the price and trading volume of the Company’s common stock; anti-takeover provisions in the Company’s organizational documents; the failure to declare future cash dividends; and fluctuations in the amount and frequency of our share repurchases. Many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties will continue to be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and any continued worsening of the global business and economic
environment as a result.
More information on potential factors that could affect the Company's financial results are described in detail in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports and statements that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
