NOTE 1 — BASIS 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, distributes and licenses 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.
Fiscal 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 first quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending December 30, 2023 ("fiscal 2023"), which is a 52-week fiscal year. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended March 2023, December 2022 and March 2022 correspond to the fiscal periods ended April 1, 2023, December 31, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively.
Macroeconomic Environment and Other Recent Developments
Macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, rising interest rates, recessionary concerns, fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates and distress in global credit and banking markets, as well as ongoing global supply chain disruptions, labor challenges and the COVID-19 pandemic, continue to adversely impact global economic conditions, as well as the Company's operations. Additionally, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to cause 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, 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 7 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 the above conditions. Such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
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 months ended March 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for fiscal 2023. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2023 ("2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-04, "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations," which requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose key terms of the programs, outstanding confirmed amounts as of period end, a description of where those obligations are presented in the balance sheet and an annual rollforward of obligations. This guidance was adopted by the Company during the first quarter of 2023, except for the requirement to include a rollforward of obligations which is effective beginning in 2024 with early adoption permitted. Refer to Note 6 to the Company's financial statements for additional information related to supplier finance program obligations.

For the three months ended March 2023, 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.

NOTE 3 — BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments:
Wrangler — Wrangler® branded denim, apparel, footwear and accessories.
Lee — Lee® branded denim, apparel, footwear and accessories.
The Company considers its chief executive officer to be its chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based on the global brand operating results of Wrangler® and Lee®, which are the Company's operating and reportable segments.
In addition, we report an "Other" category to reconcile segment revenues and segment profit to the Company's operating results, but the Other category does not meet the criteria to be considered a reportable segment. Other includes sales and licensing of Rock & Republic®, other company-owned brands and private label apparel.
Accounting policies utilized for internal management reporting at the individual segments are consistent with those disclosed in the Company's 2022 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.

Sale of Trade Accounts Receivable
The Company is party to an agreement with a financial institution to sell selected trade accounts receivable on a nonrecourse basis. Under this agreement, up to $377.5 million of the Company’s trade accounts receivable may be sold to the financial institution and remain outstanding at any point in time. The Company removes the sold balances from "accounts receivable, net" in its balance sheet at the time of sale. The Company does not retain any interests in the sold trade accounts receivable but continues to service and collect outstanding trade accounts receivable on behalf of the financial institution.
During the three months ended March 2023 and March 2022, the Company sold total trade accounts receivable of $359.7 million and $355.5 million, respectively. As of March 2023, December 2022 and March 2022, $256.3 million, $246.0 million and $227.0 million, respectively, of the sold trade accounts receivable had been removed from the Company's balance sheets but remained outstanding with the financial institution.
The funding fees charged by the financial institution for this program are reflected in the Company's statements of operations within "other expense, net" and were $3.0 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 2023 and March 2022, respectively. Net proceeds of this program are reflected as operating activities in the Company's statements of cash flows.

NOTE 6 — SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCING
The Company facilitates a voluntary Supply Chain Finance ("SCF") program with its financial institutions that allows certain suppliers the option to sell or assign their rights to receivables due from the Company, enabling the suppliers to receive payment from the financial institutions sooner than our negotiated payment terms. Participation in the SCF program is based on terms and conditions negotiated directly between the suppliers and the financial institutions. The Company agrees to commercial terms with suppliers independent of their participation in the SCF program, and thus their participation has no impact on our payment terms. The Company is not a party to the agreements between our suppliers and the financial institutions, and has no economic interest in our suppliers' decision to participate in the SCF program. For suppliers who participate in the SCF program, they have sole discretion to determine which invoices, if any, are to be sold to the financial institutions. All amounts payable to suppliers who participate in the SCF program are included within "accounts payable" in the Company's balance sheets, and the Company's associated payments to the suppliers are included in operating activities in the Company's statements of cash flows. At March 2023, December 2022 and March 2022, accounts payable included total outstanding balances of $23.9 million, $24.7 million and $16.7 million, respectively, due to suppliers that participate in the SCF program.

NOTE 7 — SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
Short-term Borrowings
At March 2023, December 2022 and March 2022, the Company had $24.9 million, $24.8 million and $10.0 million, respectively, of international lines of credit with various banks, which are uncommitted and may be terminated at any time by either the Company or the banks. There was a total outstanding balance of $7.1 million under these arrangements at both March 2023 and December 2022, and no outstanding balance at March 2022. In addition, short-term borrowings included other debt of $0.2 million at March 2023, December 2022 and March 2022.

Credit Facilities
On November 18, 2021, the Company completed a refinancing pursuant to which it issued $400.0 million of Notes (as defined below) and amended and restated its senior secured 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 quarterly mandatory repayments which commenced 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.
Term Loan A had an outstanding principal amount of $397.5 million at March 2023, and $400.0 million at both December 2022 and March 2022, which is reported net of unamortized deferred financing costs. As of March 2023, interest expense on Term Loan A was being recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 4.3%, 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 $75.0 million letter of credit sublimit. As of March 2023, the Company had $50.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $11.7 million of outstanding standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company, leaving $438.3 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 4.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any test period, with an allowance for up to two elections to increase the limit to

5.00 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 3.00 to 1.00. As of March 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and expects to maintain compliance with the applicable 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 $400.0 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 4.125% per annum, payable in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
The Notes had an outstanding principal amount of $400.0 million at March 2023, December 2022 and March 2022, which is reported net of unamortized deferred financing costs. As of March 2023, interest expense on the Notes was being recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 4.3%, 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 March 2023, the Company was in compliance with the Indenture and expects to maintain compliance with the applicable covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
Refer to Note 10 in the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s debt obligations.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
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.

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 March 2023, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was $840.4 million compared to a fair value of $785.5 million. At December 2022, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was $792.6 million compared to a fair value of $718.0 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 March 2023 and December 2022, their carrying values approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 9 — DERIVATIVE 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 $321.3 million at March 2023, $322.3 million at December 2022 and $287.5 million at March 2022, 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 20 months.
During 2019, the Company entered into "floating to fixed" interest rate swap agreements to mitigate exposure to volatility in reference rates on the Company's future interest payments. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements was $300.0 million at March 2023, December 2022 and March 2022. 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 March 2023.

Other Derivative Information
Any contracts that are not designated as hedges are recorded at fair value in the Company's balance sheets. Changes in the fair values of derivative contracts not designated as hedges are recognized directly in earnings. There were no significant amounts recognized in earnings for the ineffective portion of any hedging relationships or changes in the fair values of derivative contracts not designated as hedges during the three months ended March 2023 and March 2022.
At March 2023, AOCL included $28.3 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.
