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 third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“In the third quarter, we delivered strong revenue growth and profitability that was ahead of our expectations, excluding the duty charge, reflecting the broad-based strength of our business. Supported by strategic investments in our brands, U.S. POS strength continued, driving further market share gains in core U.S. wholesale. And we delivered another solid quarter in DTC, a critical growth pillar of our diversified, accretive growth strategy,” said Scott Baxter, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of Kontoor Brands.

“While we continue to anticipate a challenging macroenvironment, we expect our investments in innovation and demand creation to further cement competitive separation in the marketplace and fuel the continued momentum of our brands. We are prudently managing our inventory and are focused on reducing inventory levels further as we establish an even stronger foundation for next year. Beginning with the fourth quarter, we expect gross margin expansion to drive accelerated earnings growth into 2024. And, given the strength of our balance sheet and cash flow generation, we have the opportunity to further enhance shareholder value through capital allocation optionality,” added Baxter.

This release refers to “adjusted” amounts from 2023 and 2022 and “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. Amounts as presented herein may not recalculate due to the use of unrounded numbers.

Late in the third quarter of 2023, management identified inaccuracies in processing certain transactions with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) arising from the implementation of the Company’s ERP system. These inaccuracies resulted in underpayment of certain duties owed to U.S. Customs for the 2021 to 2023 periods. The current period results include an estimated additional $13 million duty charge related to prior periods.

Third Quarter 2023 Income Statement Review

Revenue was $655 million, increasing 8 percent (7 percent increase in constant currency) compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue increases were primarily driven by strength in U.S. wholesale and DTC, partially offset by decreases in International, mainly China.

U.S. revenue was $506 million, increasing 12 percent over the same period in the prior year. U.S. wholesale increased 12 percent compared to the third quarter 2022, driven by broad-based strength across categories, distribution channels and additional market share gains. Growth in U.S. wholesale was augmented by continued strength in DTC, with U.S. own.com revenue increasing 11 percent compared to the same period last year.

International revenue was $149 million, a 4 percent decrease (8 percent decrease in constant currency) over the same period in the prior year with strength in DTC more than offset by a decline in wholesale. International DTC increased 7 percent (5 percent increase in constant currency) compared to the same period last year. China decreased 23 percent (19 percent decrease in constant currency) compared to the third quarter 2022. Europe increased 4 percent (4 percent decrease in constant currency) over the same period last year.

Wrangler brand global revenue was $445 million, a 9 percent increase from the same period in the prior year. Wrangler U.S. revenue increased 10 percent compared to the same period last year, driven by U.S. wholesale core denim and category diversification including non-denim bottoms, Outdoor and Western. Wrangler U.S. own.com increased 11 percent compared to the same period last year. Wrangler international revenue increased 8 percent (2 percent increase in constant currency) compared to the third quarter 2022, driven by increases in both wholesale and DTC.

Lee brand global revenue was $208 million, a 5 percent increase (3 percent increase in constant currency) from the same period in the prior year. Lee U.S. revenue increased 20 percent compared to the same period last year, with strength in both wholesale and own.com. Lee U.S. own.com increased 11 percent compared to the same period last year. Lee international revenue decreased 10 percent (13 percent decrease in constant currency) compared to the third quarter 2022, driven primarily by softness in China.

Gross margin decreased 200 basis points to 41.5 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross margin in the quarter included an unanticipated 200 basis point charge from duty expense related to prior periods, as well as proactive inventory management actions. Excluding the duty charge and inventory management actions, gross margin increased compared to the prior-year period, consistent with expectations. Benefits from strategic pricing, channel mix and lower transitory costs such as air freight were offset by inflationary pressures on input costs and geographic mix.

Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses were $186 million or 28.4 percent of revenue in the third quarter, decreasing 30 basis points compared to adjusted SG&A for the same period in the prior year. Amplified investments in demand creation and DTC in addition to an increase in distribution costs were somewhat offset by disciplined management of discretionary expenses.

Operating income was $85 million in the third quarter and included the approximate $13 million duty charge. Excluding the duty charge, operating income was $99 million and increased 10 percent compared to adjusted operating income in the same period in the prior year. Operating margin of 13.1 percent decreased 170 basis points compared to adjusted operating margin for the same period in the prior year, including a 200 basis point impact from the duty charge. Excluding the duty charge, operating margin increased 30 basis points to 15.1 percent.

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) was $91 million in the third quarter and includes the approximate $13 million duty charge. EBITDA margin of 13.9 percent decreased 200 basis points compared to adjusted EBITDA margin during the same period in the prior year. Excluding the duty charge, EBITDA margin was consistent with the prior year adjusted EBITDA margin.

Earnings per share (EPS) was $1.05 in the third quarter, compared to reported EPS of $0.90 and adjusted EPS of $1.11 in the same period last year. EPS in the quarter included an unanticipated $0.17 charge for duty expense related to prior periods. Excluding the duty charge, earnings per share was $1.22, increasing 10 percent compared to adjusted EPS in the same period last year.

September 30, 2023, Balance Sheet and Liquidity Review

The Company ended the third quarter 2023 with $78 million in cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $0.8 billion in long-term debt.

Inventory at the end of Q3’23 was $605 million, down 11 percent compared to the prior-year period.

As of September 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $488 million available for borrowing against this facility.

As previously announced, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share, payable on December 18, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 8, 2023.

2023 Outlook

Although the impacts from near-term macroeconomic factors are uncertain, the Company remains focused on execution to deliver continued strong market share gains in the U.S., to accelerate DTC growth, and to drive gross margin improvement. The Company remains confident in its strategy and expects to continue investing in its brands and capabilities in support of accretive growth and anticipates accelerating cash generation as inventory continues to normalize in 2023.

Accordingly, the Company's updated 2023 outlook is as follows:

  • Revenue is expected to increase approximately 1 percent compared to 2022, which compares to the prior outlook of a low-single digit percentage increase. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company expects ongoing market share gains and strength from DTC to be offset by more challenging macroeconomic and consumer demand conditions in the U.S., with the China market more fully reopening.
  • Adjusted gross margin is expected to approximate 42.5 percent compared to the prior outlook of 43.5 percent to 44.0 percent. This updated outlook includes a 40 basis point charge for duty expense related to prior periods, in addition to proactive inventory management actions. The Company expects approximately 300 basis points of gross margin expansion in Q4’23 driven by geographic and DTC mix, strategic pricing and a decline in input costs. Based on current visibility, the Company expects geographic and DTC mix as well as lower input costs to drive significant gross margin expansion in 2024.
  • Adjusted SG&A is now expected to increase at a low-single digit percentage compared to adjusted SG&A in 2022, which compares to a mid-single digit increase in the prior outlook. The Company will continue to prioritize investments in its brands and capabilities in support of longer-term profitable growth, including demand creation, DTC, and International expansion, while remaining prudent with regard to discretionary expenses.
  • Adjusted EPS is now expected to approximate $4.35, including an unanticipated $0.15 charge for duty expense related to prior periods. This compares to the prior outlook of $4.55 to $4.75. Excluding the duty charge, FY’23 EPS is expected to approximate $4.50.
  • 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. Interest expense is expected to approximate $35 million. Other Expense is expected to be in the range of $10 million to $12 million. Average shares outstanding are expected to be approximately 57 million, excluding the impact of any additional share repurchases.
  • The Company expects cash flow from operations of approximately $335 million and to end the year with cash and cash equivalents of approximately $200 million. The Company expects to end the year with approximately $500 million of inventory, representing a more than 15 percent decline compared to the prior year. The Company expects the combination of accelerated earnings growth and continued normalization of inventory to result in increased cash generation in 2024.

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.

Notes to Supplemental Financial Information - Reconciliation of Adjusted 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.

(a) During the three months ended September 2022, restructuring costs included charges of $13.7 million related to severance and employee-related benefits and $1.0 million of other costs, both of which were attributable to the globalization of the Company's operating model and relocation of the European headquarters. Total restructuring costs resulted in a corresponding tax impact of $2.8 million for the three months ended September 2022.
