BASIS OF PRESENTATION	Jun. 29, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	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, manufactures, procures, sells 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, department stores, company-operated stores and online, including digital marketplaces. The Company's products are also sold internationally, primarily in the Europe, Asia-Pacific and Non-U.S. Americas regions, through department, specialty, company-operated, concession retail and independently-operated partnership stores and online, including digital marketplaces. 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 second quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending December 28, 2024 ("fiscal 2024"), which is a 52-week fiscal year. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023 correspond to the fiscal periods ended June 29, 2024, December 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023, respectively. Macroeconomic Environment and Other Recent Developments Global macroeconomic conditions that continued to impact the Company include elevated interest rates, inflation, recessionary concerns, fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, supply chain issues and inconsistent consumer demand, particularly in China. These factors continue to contribute to uncertain global economic conditions and consumer spending patterns, which are impacting retailers' and the Company's operations. Additionally, the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are causing 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 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 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for fiscal 2024. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2024 ("2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K"). Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations," which requires entities that provide 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 sheets 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 an annual rollforward of obligations which is effective beginning in 2024 and will be disclosed in our 2024 annual report on Form 10-K. Refer to Note 6 Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This guidance is effective for annual disclosures in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This guidance requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires disclosure of specific categories and greater disaggregation within the income tax rate reconciliation, and disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION	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 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Corporate and other expenses, including certain restructuring and transformation costs, and interest income and expense are not controlled by segment management and therefore are excluded from the measurement of segment profit. The following table presents financial information for the Company's reportable segments and income before income taxes: Three Months Ended June Six Months Ended June (In thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Segment revenues: Wrangler $ 429,245 $ 425,485 $ 838,739 $ 848,632 Lee 175,299 188,008 394,742 428,657 Total reportable segment revenues 604,544 613,493 1,233,481 1,277,289 Other revenues 2,354 2,516 4,619 5,843 Total net revenues $ 606,898 $ 616,009 $ 1,238,100 $ 1,283,132 Segment profit: Wrangler $ 88,339 $ 70,976 $ 163,005 $ 142,083 Lee 13,367 17,165 48,461 56,738 Total reportable segment profit $ 101,706 $ 88,141 $ 211,466 $ 198,821 Corporate and other expenses (28,378) (27,660) (56,438) (45,724) Interest expense (10,382) (9,663) (19,674) (19,936) Interest income 2,616 691 5,041 1,110 Loss related to other revenues (1,106) (236) (1,259) (129) Income before income taxes $ 64,456 $ 51,273 $ 139,136 $ 134,142

In addition, short-term borrowings included other debt of $0.1 million at June 2023, with no balance remaining at June 2024 and December 2023. Long-term Debt The following table presents the components of "long-term debt" as recorded in the Company's balance sheets: (In thousands) June 2024 December 2023 June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility $ — $ — $ — Term Loan A 353,827 388,481 393,218 4.125% Notes, due 2029 395,827 395,440 395,052 Total long-term debt 749,654 783,921 788,270 Less: current portion — (20,000) (15,000) Long-term debt, due beyond one year $ 749,654 $ 763,921 $ 773,270 Credit Facilities The Company is party to a senior secured Credit Agreement, as amended and restated on November 18, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for (i) a five-year $400.0 million term loan A facility (“Term Loan A”) and (ii) a five-year $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), collectively referred to as “Credit Facilities,” with the lenders and agents party thereto. Term Loan A requires quarterly repayments of $5.0 million through September 2026, and the remaining principal of $335.0 million is due at maturity in November 2026. During the six months ended June 2024, the Company repaid a total of $35.0 million of the principal outstanding on Term Loan A, including $25.0 million of voluntary early quarterly repayments during the second quarter of 2024. Term Loan A had an outstanding principal amount of $355.0 million, $390.0 million and $395.0 million at June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023, respectively, which is reported net of unamortized deferred financing costs. As of June 2024, interest expense on Term Loan A was being recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 7.1%, including the amortization of deferred financing costs. 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 June 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $6.5 million of outstanding standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company, leaving $493.5 million available for borrowing against this facility. The interest rate per annum applicable to borrowings under the Credit Facilities 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 June 2024, 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 to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. 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 June 2024, December 2023 and June 2023, which is reported net of unamortized deferred financing costs. As of June 2024, 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 June 2024, the Company was in compliance with the Indenture and expects to maintain compliance with the applicable non-financial covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	Jun. 29, 2024
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	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. Recurring Fair Value Measurements 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: Fair Value Measurement Using (In thousands) Total Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 June 2024 Financial assets: Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 166,613 $ 166,613 $ — $ — Time deposits 2,280 2,280 — — Foreign currency exchange contracts 5,750 — 5,750 — Investment securities 48,711 48,711 — — Financial liabilities: Foreign currency exchange contracts 4,786 — 4,786 — Deferred compensation 51,933 — 51,933 — Fair Value Measurement Using (In thousands) Total Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 December 2023 Financial assets: Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 145,554 $ 145,554 $ — $ — Time deposits 2,283 2,283 — — Foreign currency exchange contracts 16,504 — 16,504 — Interest rate swap agreements 3,253 — 3,253 — Investment securities 46,250 46,250 — — Financial liabilities: Foreign currency exchange contracts 5,121 — 5,121 — Deferred compensation 49,139 — 49,139 — 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, at December 2023, 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 2024, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was $749.7 million compared to a fair value of $711.2 million. At December 2023, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was $783.9 million compared to a fair value of $747.1 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 2024 and December 2023, their carrying values approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	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 $340.1 million at June 2024, $348.8 million at December 2023 and $333.0 million at June 2023, 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. Because these interest rate swap agreements met the criteria for hedge accounting, all related gains and losses were deferred within accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") and were amortized through the expiration date of April 18, 2024. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements was $300.0 million at December 2023 and June 2023. 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 discontinues hedge accounting. All designated hedging relationships were determined to be highly effective as of June 2024. The following table presents the fair value of outstanding derivatives on an individual contract basis: Fair Value of Derivatives Fair Value of Derivatives June December June June December June (In thousands) 2024 2023 2023 2024 2023 2023 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign currency exchange contracts $ 5,735 $ 16,490 $ 23,358 $ (4,757) $ (5,098) $ (4,629) Interest rate swap agreements — 3,253 8,529 — — — Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign currency exchange contracts 15 14 24 (29) (23) (336) Total derivatives $ 5,750 $ 19,757 $ 31,911 $ (4,786) $ (5,121) $ (4,965) 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.

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 changes in the fair values of derivative contracts not designated as hedges or the ineffective portion of any hedging relationships during the three and six months ended June 2024 and June 2023. At June 2024, AOCL included $7.4 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.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION On April 1, 2024, the Company made its annual grant of equity awards under the Kontoor Brands, Inc. 2019 Stock Compensation Plan, including approximately 200,000 shares of performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs”) to employees, approximately 150,000 shares of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees, and approximately 20,000 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 $60.35 per share and was used to value the RSUs and Director RSUs. Each PRSU entitles the employee to receive a potential final payout ranging from zero to two shares of Kontoor Common Stock at the end of a three-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. The actual number of shares earned may also be adjusted upward or downward by up to 25% of the target award, subject to a 0% floor, based on how Kontoor’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over a three-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in a Company-selected peer group. Shares earned related to the 2024 grants will be issued to participants following the conclusion of the three-year performance period. Each employee RSU entitles the holder to one share of Kontoor Common Stock and typically vests over a three-year period. Each RSU granted to a nonemployee member of the Board of Directors vests upon grant and will be settled in one share of Kontoor Common Stock one year from the date of grant.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 2024 was 20.0% compared to 23.4% in the 2023 period. The six months ended June 2024 included a net discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock-based compensation which decreased the effective income tax rate by 1.2%. The six months ended June 2023 included a net discrete tax expense primarily related to a remeasurement of deferred tax assets associated with a tax holiday granted from local income taxes in a foreign jurisdiction which increased the effective income tax rate by 3.9%. The effective tax rate without discrete items for the six months ended June 2024 was 21.2% compared to 19.5% in the 2023 period. This increase was primarily due to changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings. During the six months ended June 2024, the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest increased by $0.7 million to $14.3 million. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $2.2 million within the next 12 fiscal months due to expiration of statutes of limitations, which would reduce income tax expense.

EARNINGS PER SHARE	EARNINGS PER SHARE The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") are based on net income divided by the basic weighted average number of common shares and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding, respectively. The following table presents the calculations of basic and diluted EPS: Three Months Ended June Six Months Ended June (In thousands, except per share amounts) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net income $ 51,769 $ 36,396 $ 111,276 $ 102,692 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 55,810 56,089 55,772 55,868 Dilutive effect of stock-based awards 646 757 825 1,025 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 56,456 56,846 56,597 56,893 Earnings per share: Basic earnings per share $ 0.93 $ 0.65 $ 2.00 $ 1.84 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.92 $ 0.64 $ 1.97 $ 1.80 For the three and six months ended June 2024 and June 2023, an immaterial number of shares were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculations because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 2024, a total of 0.8 million and 0.7 million shares of PRSUs, respectively, were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share as the units were not considered to be contingent outstanding shares. For both the three and six months ended June 2023, a total of 0.6 million shares of PRSUs were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share as the units were not considered to be contingent outstanding shares.

Basis of Presentation - Interim Financial Statements	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 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for fiscal 2024. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2024 ("2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations," which requires entities that provide 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 sheets 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 an annual rollforward of obligations which is effective beginning in 2024 and will be disclosed in our 2024 annual report on Form 10-K. Refer to Note 6 Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This guidance is effective for annual disclosures in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This guidance requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires disclosure of specific categories and greater disaggregation within the income tax rate reconciliation, and disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
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.
