In a rapidly changing operating environment, we remain focused on navigating near-term impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, while also positioning Kontoor for future success,” said Scott Baxter, President and Chief Executive Officer, Kontoor Brands. “During the second quarter, we successfully balanced managing through short-term challenges while taking proactive measures to drive competitive separation in the global marketplace. We strengthened our liquidity position, improved our financial flexibility and paid down debt, all while investing in growth and new business development opportunities.”

I want to thank our colleagues around the world for their perseverance and resolve during these dynamic times. Our accomplishments throughout the second quarter are a direct reflection of their tireless efforts. I am confident the strength of our global team positions us to best serve the needs of all of our stakeholders,” added Baxter.

This release refers to “adjusted” amounts 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.

Second Quarter 2020 Income Statement Review

Revenue decreased to $349 million, a 43 percent year-over-year decline on a reported basis and 42 percent decline in constant currency.

Revenue declines during the quarter were primarily the result of COVID-19 related wholesale and owned door closures and stay-at-home orders, as well as an approximate $33 million timing shift of shipments from the second quarter to the third quarter. Revenue on a year-over-year basis sequentially improved each month as the quarter progressed.

During the second quarter, U.S. revenue was $288 million, down 41 percent on a reported basis, driven primarily by the COVID-19 impacts and aforementioned timing shift. These declines were partially offset by growth in digital, with U.S. owned.com increasing 48 percent and U.S. digital wholesale increasing 36 percent.

International revenue was $61 million, down 51 percent on a reported basis and down 48 percent in constant currency, primarily as a result of COVID-19 impacts. Europe revenue was the most impacted, while the recovery in China continued to improve.

Wrangler® brand global revenue decreased to $252 million, a 31 percent decline on a reported and constant currency basis. Wrangler® U.S. revenue declined 27 percent. Impacts from COVID-19 and the aforementioned timing shift, out of the second quarter and into the third quarter, were the primary drivers of the U.S. decline.

Lee® brand global revenue decreased 58 percent to $86 million on a reported and constant currency basis, driven primarily by COVID-19 impacts. Lee® U.S. revenue declined 66 percent driven by more prolonged retailer door closures.

Other global revenue declined 70 percent to $12 million on a reported and constant currency basis driven by the temporary Company-owned VF Outlet store closures related to COVID-19, as well as planned reductions in the sale of goods manufactured for third parties, and Rock & Republic®.

Gross margin decreased 10 basis points to 38.5 percent of revenue on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, gross margin decreased 160 basis points to 38.4 percent of revenue. COVID-19 impacts associated with downtime in owned manufacturing and inventory reserves drove a 450 basis point net decline. Geographic mix contributed another 60 basis points of headwind. These factors more than offset approximately 350 basis points of improvement from restructuring, quality-of-sales initiatives, pricing, product cost enhancements and improving channel mix.

Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses were $156 million on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, SG&A was $129 million, or 36.8 percent of revenue, down $38 million from second quarter adjusted 2019. Adjustments primarily represent costs associated with the global ERP implementation and information technology infrastructure build-out. Tight expense control and restructuring benefits helped offset fixed cost de-leverage due to revenue declines and increased credit losses.

Operating loss on a reported basis was $22 million. On an adjusted basis, operating income was $6 million, down from $74 million in the same period in 2019 reflecting the significant impacts of COVID-19. Adjusted operating margin decreased to 1.6 percent of revenue, driven by fixed cost de-leverage of lower sales and increased credit losses, more than offsetting restructuring benefits, cost savings and quality-of-sales initiatives.

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) on a reported basis was a loss of $14 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $13 million, down from $82 million in the prior year. EBITDA margin on a reported basis decreased to (4.1) percent of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 3.6 percent of revenue, primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19 outlined above.

Loss per share was $(0.58) on a reported basis. Adjusted loss per share was $(0.22).

June 27, 2020, Balance Sheet Review

The Company ended the second quarter of 2020 with $256 million in cash and equivalents, and approximately $1.1 billion in long-term debt.

The Company repaid $175 million against the revolver in conjunction with the closing of the amendment to the credit facility in May 2020. Due to the Company's strong cash generation, in June 2020, the Company made an additional discretionary repayment on its revolver of $75 million. As of June 2020, the Company had $225 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $273 million available for borrowing against this facility. The Company was in compliance with the terms of its amended credit facility at the end of the second quarter.

Inventory at the end of the second quarter of 2020 was $433 million, down $105 million or 20 percent compared to the prior year period.

Outlook

As previously announced, and as a result of the uncertainty and significant business impacts caused by COVID-19, Kontoor withdrew its 2020 guidance provided on March 5, 2020, and has not provided an updated outlook given the continued dynamic nature of the environment.

While the Company is not providing full-year 2020 guidance at this time, additional perspective and assumptions on revenues are as follows:

  • The Company continues to take the necessary, proactive steps to accommodate a prolonged COVID-19 operating environment.
  • Revenue in the second half of 2020 should experience sequential year-over-year improvement and is expected to benefit from new programs and distribution gains, as well as the timing shift of shipments.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this release and attachments are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are made based on our expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and therefore involve several risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by the fact that they use words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “should,” “may” and other words and terms of similar meaning or use of future dates. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements or publicly announce the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements, other than as required under the U.S. federal securities laws. 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 release include, but are not limited to: risks associated with the Company's spin-off from VF Corporation, including the risk of disruption to our business in connection with the spin-off and that the Company could lose revenue as a result of such disruption; the risk that the Company does not realize all of the expected benefits of the spin-off; the risk that the spin-off will not be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes; the risk that there will be a loss of synergies from separating the businesses that could negatively impact the balance sheet, profit margins or earnings of the Company; the risk of significant costs to the Company to perform certain functions (currently being performed by VF Corporation for the Company on a transitional basis) following the transition period; and the risk associated with significant restrictions on the Company’s actions in order to avoid triggering tax-related liabilities. Other risks for the Company include foreign currency fluctuations; the level of consumer demand for apparel; financial difficulty experienced by the retail industry; disruption to distribution systems; reliance on a small number of large customers; the financial strength of customers; fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials and contracted products; 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; restrictions on the Company’s business relating to its debt obligations; diseases, epidemics and public health-related concerns, such as the recent impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which could continue to result in closed factories, reduced workforces, supply chain interruption, and reduced consumer traffic and purchasing; response to changing fashion trends, evolving consumer preferences and changing patterns of consumer behavior, intense industry competition, including from online retailers, and manufacturing and product innovation; changes to trade policy, including tariff and import/export regulations; increasing pressure on margins; ability to implement its business strategy; ability to grow its international and direct-to-consumer businesses; 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; stability of manufacturing facilities and foreign suppliers; continued use by suppliers of ethical business practices; ability to accurately forecast demand for products; continuity of members of management; ability to protect trademarks and other intellectual property rights; possible goodwill and other asset impairment; operational difficulties and additional expenses related to the Company’s design and implementation of an enterprise resource planning software system; maintenance by licensees and distributors of the value of the Company’s brands; ability to execute and integrate acquisitions; changes in tax laws and liabilities; volatility in the price and trading volume of the Company’s common stock; failure to declare future cash dividends; the impact of climate change and related legislative and regulatory responses; legal, regulatory, political and economic risks; the risk of economic uncertainty associated with the recent exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union ("Brexit") or any other similar referendums that may be held; and unseasonal or severe weather conditions. 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 most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports and statements that the Company files with the SEC.

(a) Refer to constant currency definition on the following pages.
(b) 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 includes sales of third-party branded merchandise at VF Outlet™ stores, sales and licensing of Rock & Republic® branded apparel, and sales of products manufactured for third parties. Sales of Wrangler® and Lee® branded products at VF Outlet™ stores are not included in Other and are reported in their respective segments. Prior to 2020, the Other category also included transactions with VF for pre-Separation activities, none of which continued in 2020. These transactions included sales of VF-branded products at VF Outlet™ stores, as well as sales to VF for products manufactured in our plants, use of our transportation fleet and fulfillment of a transition services agreement related to VF’s sale of its Nautica® brand business in mid-2018.

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 the above 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) Business model changes for the three months ended June 2019 primarily related to the transition of our former Central and South America region to a licensed model and the discontinuation of manufacturing for VF Corporation. These business model changes resulted in an insignificant corresponding tax impact for the three months ended June 2019.

(b) Restructuring costs related to strategic actions taken to achieve cost savings, and separation costs related to the spin-off from VF Corporation and establishment of Kontoor as a separate public company, including the ongoing implementation of a global ERP system and information technology infrastructure. These restructuring and separation costs resulted in a corresponding tax impact of $6.9 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended June 2020 and June 2019, respectively.

(c) Other adjustments have been made for the three months ended June 2019 to revise historical corporate allocations, primarily attributable to the carve-out basis of accounting, so that adjusted EBITDA reflects the anticipated cost structure of a separate public company. These other adjustments resulted in a corresponding tax impact of $(1.5) million for the three months ended June 2019.

Other adjustments have also been made for the three months ended June 2020 and June 2019 to remove the funding fees related to the accounts receivable sale arrangement, as they are treated as interest expense for calculation of adjusted EBITDA for debt compliance purposes.

Non-GAAP Financial Information: The financial information above has been presented on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis. These adjusted presentations are non-GAAP measures.

Notes to Supplemental Financial Information - Reconciliation of Adjusted Financial Measures

Management uses the above non-GAAP financial measures internally in its budgeting and review process and, in some cases, as a factor in determining compensation. 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) Business model changes for the three months ended June 2019 primarily related to the transition of our former Central and South America region to a licensed model and the discontinuation of manufacturing for VF Corporation.
