GREENSBORO, N.C. - March 5, 2020 - 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 28, 2019.
2019 has been a year of transformational change for our organization, our leadership teams and our employees around the globe. Since our spin-off in May of 2019, we have been successfully executing on our Horizon 1 strategic initiatives, making excellent strides in setting the foundation for more profitable, and sustainable, long-term growth,” said Scott Baxter, President and Chief Executive Officer, Kontoor Brands. “As we look to 2020, we remain sharply focused on the continued optimization and globalization of our operating model.” 
Baxter added, “Our strong cash flow generation has allowed us to pay a superior dividend while also significantly de-levering our balance sheet, by paying down debt well ahead of guidance, during the first seven months post-separation. This robust cash flow will continue to be an important pillar in support of our evolving capital structure, further enhancing our financial flexibility in 2020 and beyond.”  
This release refers to “adjusted” amounts that exclude the impact of restructuring and separation costs, changes in our business model, a non-cash impairment charge related to our Rock & Republic® trademark and other adjustments. This release also refers to “constant currency” amounts. These adjustments are further described in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below. All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Income Statement Review
During the fourth quarter and throughout 2019, the Company has undergone transformational change to improve operational performance, address internal and external factors, and set the stage for long-term profitable growth. While this change has negatively impacted near-term revenue, quality-of-sales initiatives that focus on higher margin and faster growing lines of business, as well as the exit of select non-strategic lines of business and points of distribution, position the company for future success.
Revenue decreased to $653 million, a 10 percent year-over-year decline on a reported and constant currency basis. Revenue declined 8 percent compared to fourth quarter 2018 adjusted revenue.
Revenue declines during the quarter, compared with fourth quarter 2018 adjusted revenue, were significantly impacted by three transformational factors:
Proactive strategic quality-of-sales initiatives contributed 3 points to the decline, reflecting business model changes and actions taken to exit an underperforming country and other global points of distribution, including select channels in India;
The reduced sales of certain lower margin lines of business and lower distressed sales, which represented approximately 1 point of the decline; and,
Impacts of a major U.S. retailer bankruptcy in the fourth quarter of 2018, which contributed approximately 1 point of the decline.
During the fourth quarter, U.S. revenue was $517 million, down 8 percent on a reported basis. Compared with 2018 adjusted revenue, U.S. revenue declined 6 percent, driven primarily by the transformational factors previously mentioned, as well as softness in broader retailer traffic during the holiday period and the exit or reduction of select non-core programs. These declines were partially offset by growth in digital, with U.S. digital wholesale increasing 52 percent. 
International revenue was $136 million, down 17 percent on a reported basis and down 16 percent in constant currency. Compared to fourth quarter 2018 adjusted revenue, international revenue declined 14 percent driven primarily by the previously mentioned quality-of-sales initiatives. These declines were partially offset by growth in owned digital revenue in Europe and China, which grew 36 percent and 8 percent in constant currency, respectively.  
Wrangler® brand global revenue decreased to $417 million, a 6 percent decline on a reported and constant currency basis. Compared to fourth quarter 2018 adjusted revenue, global revenue declined 5 percent and U.S. revenue declined 3 percent. Lower distressed sales and the exit or reduction of select non-core programs were the primary drivers of the U.S. decline.
As expected, Lee® brand global revenue sequentially moderated in the fourth quarter, decreasing 12 percent to $202 million on a reported basis and in constant currency, driven by the previously mentioned transformational factors.  
Other global revenue declined 36 percent to $34 million, driven primarily by planned reductions in sales of product manufactured for others, non-branded VF Outlet™ and Rock & Republic®

Gross margin increased 210 basis points to 40.7 percent of revenue on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, gross margin increased 30 basis points to 40.9 percent of revenue. Increases were primarily due to the favorable impacts of restructuring and quality-of-sales initiatives, as well as improving channel mix, which more than offset the negative impact of actions taken to exit points of distribution in India and foreign currency headwinds. Year-over-year adjusted gross margin comparisons have improved in each of the last four quarters, including expansion during the last two, despite pressures from actions taken in India. 
Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses were $207 million on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, SG&A was $182 million, down 90 basis points to 27.9 percent of revenue, with tight expense control and restructuring benefits more than offsetting fixed cost de-leverage due to revenue declines. 
Operating income on a reported basis was $59 million. On an adjusted basis, operating income was $85 million, up 2 percent over the same period in 2018. Operating margin on a reported basis declined to 9.0 percent of revenue. Adjusted operating margin increased 130 basis points to 13.1 percent of revenue, driven by restructuring, cost savings and quality-of-sales initiatives. 
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) on a reported basis was $65 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $93 million, up 1 percent. EBITDA margin on a reported basis declined to 10.0 percent of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 130 basis points to 14.2 percent of revenue, driven by the previously mentioned strategic initiatives. Actions taken in India drove an approximate $4 million unfavorable adjusted EBITDA impact in the quarter. 
Earnings per share was $0.50 on a reported basis. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.97. Actions taken in India drove an approximate $0.07 unfavorable adjusted earnings per share impact in the quarter.
2019 Income Statement Review
Unless otherwise stated, 2019 revenue is presented on an adjusted basis.
Revenue decreased 8 percent to $2.55 billion on a reported basis, down 6 percent in constant currency. Compared with 2018 adjusted revenue, 2019 revenue declined 6 percent to $2.52 billion, in line with company full year 2019 guidance. 
Revenue declines, compared with 2018 adjusted revenue, were significantly impacted by two transformational factors: 
Proactive strategic quality-of-sales initiatives contributed 3 points to the decline, reflecting business model changes and actions taken to exit an underperforming country and other global points of distribution, including select channels in India; and
Impacts of a major U.S. retailer bankruptcy in the fourth quarter of 2018, which represented approximately 2 points of the decline.
Foreign currency headwinds impacted revenue by approximately 1 point. 
U.S. revenue was $1.91 billion, down 5 percent on a reported basis. U.S. revenue declined 3 percent compared with 2018 adjusted revenue, primarily driven by the transformational factors previously mentioned, as well as the exit or reduction of select non-core programs. These

3


declines were partially offset by growth in digital, with U.S. digital wholesale increasing 43 percent. 
International revenue was $639 million, down 15 percent on a reported basis and down 10 percent in constant currency. Compared with 2018 adjusted revenue, international revenue declined 13 percent, with second half revenue rate comparisons improving relative to first half results. Declines were driven primarily by the previously mentioned quality-of-sales initiatives. International declines were partially offset by growth in digital wholesale, owned digital and China, which grew 14 percent, 6 percent and 2 percent in constant currency, respectively. 
Wrangler® brand global revenue decreased 5 percent to $1.52 billion on a reported basis, down 4 percent in constant currency. Compared with 2018 adjusted revenue, global revenue declined 4 percent and U.S. revenue declined 2 percent. The previously mentioned customer bankruptcy accounted for 2 points of the decline in the U.S.
Lee® brand global revenue decreased 8 percent to $882 million on a reported basis, down 6 percent in constant currency. Compared with 2018 adjusted revenue, global revenue declined 8 percent and U.S. revenue declined 6 percent due to the transformational factors previously mentioned. On a constant currency basis, Lee® brand revenue increased 2 percent in China during 2019, with broad-based strength across all channels of distribution, including a 2 percent comparable store increase and 2 percent increase in the digital business. 
Other global revenue decreased 26 percent to $148 million, due to planned reductions in sales of product manufactured for others, non-branded VF Outlet™ and Rock & Republic®
Gross margin decreased 90 basis points to 39.4 percent on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, gross margin was down 70 basis points to 40.8 percent. Declines were primarily due to higher distressed sales and manufacturing inefficiencies associated with the right sizing of capacity, the negative impact of actions taken in India and foreign currency headwinds, which more than offset the benefits of restructuring and quality-of-sales initiatives. As expected, the benefits of these restructuring and quality-of-sales initiatives began to more fully manifest in the second half of 2019, with adjusted gross margin increasing by 25 basis points over the same period in 2018, compared with first half 2019 declines of 180 basis points. 
Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses were $803 million on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, SG&A was $719 million, down $40 million compared with 2018 adjusted SG&A of $759 million, driven by benefits of restructuring and cost savings initiatives and tight expense control. Adjusted SG&A, as a percentage of revenue, was up 20 basis points to 28.5 percent, driven primarily by fixed cost de-leverage due to revenue declines.
Non-cash impairment of intangible asset represents a $33 million charge related to the Rock & Republic® trademark.
Operating income on a reported basis was $168 million. On an adjusted basis, operating income was $310 millionOperating margin on a reported basis declined to 6.6 percent of revenue. Adjusted operating margin decreased 90 basis points to 12.3 percent of revenue.
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) on a reported basis was $194 millionAdjusted EBITDA was $341 million, down 12 percent. EBITDA margin on a

4


reported basis declined to 7.6 percent of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 90 basis points to 13.5 percent. Actions taken in India drove an approximate $12 million unfavorable adjusted EBITDA impact for the year. 
Earnings per share was $1.69 on a reported basis. Adjusted earnings per share was $3.84. Actions taken in India drove an approximate $0.21 unfavorable adjusted earnings per share impact for the year, inclusive of a reversal of tax benefits incurred on losses recorded in the third quarter of 2019.
December 28, 2019 Balance Sheet Review
The Company ended 2019 with $107 million in cash and equivalents, and approximately $913 million in total debt. The company paid down $127 million of debt during 2019, including $77 million during the fourth quarter. 
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company paid its second regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.56 per share. Additionally, on February 19, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.56 per share payable on March 20, 2020, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 10, 2020
Inventory at the end of 2019 was $458 million, down 3 percent compared to the prior year period. 
2020 Full Year Outlook  
“As a new publicly traded company, we believe it is important to understand the underlying fundamentals of our business, and therefore our outlook for 2020 excludes the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus. We believe this most accurately reflects our business model, but we also think it is important to provide investors context with respect to potential coronavirus impacts,” Baxter said, which are outlined below.  
Kontoor Brands’ outlook for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021, which includes a 53rd week, compared to adjusted 2019 is as follows: 
Revenue is expected to be largely consistent with full year 2019 adjusted revenue, with branded Wrangler® and Lee® revenue anticipated to increase low-single digits while other non-strategic revenues are expected to decline double-digits due to ongoing planned reductions in non-branded VF Outlet™ and Rock & Republic®. The 53rd week is expected to contribute approximately one half of a point to full year revenue.
The negative impact of 2019 strategic business exits, quality-of-sales initiatives and lower revenue associated with non-strategic lines of business is expected to contribute up to 3 points of headwind to full year 2020 revenue with the majority occurring during the first half of the year.  In addition, timing shifts between the second quarter and third quarter shipments are anticipated.
Due to these reasons, first half revenue is expected to decline. Revenue is expected to grow in the second half based on the moderating headwinds from restructuring and quality-of-sales actions, benefits of expanding programs and points of distribution, as well

5


as the timing of shipments, with the strongest revenue growth expected during the fourth quarter.  
Gross margin is expected to be in the range of 41.0 percent to 41.5 percent compared with full year 2019 adjusted gross margin of 40.8 percent, driven by ongoing restructuring and quality-of-sales initiatives, as well as structural mix shifts to more accretive DTC and international businesses.  
Adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $3.55 to $3.65 compared with full year 2019 adjusted EPS of $3.84. Adjusted EPS excludes expenses primarily related to the implementation of the global ERP system and information technology infrastructure. 2020 includes an additional five months of interest expense that impacts full year adjusted EPS by approximately $0.23 compared with 2019 adjusted EPS, which will negatively impact first half 2020 comparisons.
Cash flow from operations is expected to be greater than $325 million, with significant financial flexibility in support of continued aggressive debt paydown, superior dividend payments and the funding of capital expenditures and implementation costs related to a new global ERP system and information technology infrastructure. 
Other full year assumptions include:
Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $350 million to $360 million, reflecting a mid-single digit increase at the midpoint compared with full year 2019 adjusted EBITDA of $341 million. Adjusted EBITDA excludes approximately $90 million of 2020 expenses largely driven by the global ERP system and information technology infrastructure expenses. Due to ongoing restructuring and quality-of-sales initiatives, profitability improvements will be more fully realized within the second half of 2020, with expected top line leverage supporting the strongest year-over-year EBITDA growth in the fourth quarter. 
Capital expenditures (including ERP) are expected to range between $55 million and $70 million, including approximately $30 million to $40 million to support the design and implementation of a global ERP system. As previously announced, the global ERP implementation is expected to require approximately $80 million to $90 million of capital investment during a two-to-three-year period, including $26 million that occurred in 2019, and is expected to result in significant efficiencies and cost savings, once fully implemented. 
The total reduction in long-term debt for 2020 is anticipated to be in excess of $125 million. 
An effective tax rate of approximately 22 percent is anticipated. Interest expense, including funding fees related to an accounts receivable sale program, is expected to be approximately $50 million in 2020.

Considerations Regarding Potential Coronavirus Impacts 
“Kontoor Brands is carefully monitoring the coronavirus situation. As always, our top priority is to ensure the health and safety of our employees, and our efforts are focused on addressing their needs. Our thoughts are with those impacted,” Baxter said.  
“Prior to the emergence of the coronavirus, we saw improved trends from holiday, both within the U.S. and international markets,” Baxter said. “Based on information we have quarter-to-date, we anticipate a potential negative global impact of approximately 4 points to our first quarter revenue, due mostly to our operations in China.” 
For additional context, China operations represent approximately 7 percent of annual global revenue for Kontoor. Operations in China consist of wholesale channels including digital and partnership stores, as well as owned and operated full price and outlet stores.  In February, a majority of owned and partner retail doors were closed for the month while most of the remaining doors saw very substantial reductions in traffic and comps. Over the past few weeks, the number of doors open is increasing, with approximately 75 percent now open.  Although this trend is anticipated to continue in March, reductions in traffic and comps are expected to continue.   
In terms of supply chain impacts, the situation continues to be actively monitored, but currently there are no material disruptions in either manufacturing or sourcing of materials. As a reminder, approximately one third of Kontoor production is owned manufacturing in the Western Hemisphere.

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 current 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 relate to the exit of unprofitable markets in Europe, 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 a corresponding tax impact of ($0.1) million for the three months ended December 2018, and ($0.1) million and ($0.6) million for the 12 months ended December 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(b) Restructuring costs relate to strategic actions taken to achieve cost savings, and separation costs relate to the spin-off from VF Corporation and establishment of Kontoor as a separate public company, including the implementation of a new global ERP system and information technology infrastructure. These restructuring and separation costs resulted in a corresponding tax impact of $3.4 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended December 2019 and 2018, and $13.8 million and $6.0 million for the 12 months ended December 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(c) Other adjustments have been made 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. Other adjustments also include the impact of actions taken to exit certain points of distribution in India. These other adjustments resulted in a corresponding tax impact of ($2.1) million and ($2.1) million for the three months ended December 2019 and 2018, respectively, and ($0.3) million and ($2.6) million for the 12 months ended December 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Additionally, the three and 12 months ended December 2019 included ($1.9) million of tax impact related to adjustments to tax balances transferred from former parent at the Separation.
Other adjustments have also been made 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.
(d) Non-cash impairment of intangible asset relates to a write-down of the Rock & Republic® trademark intangible asset to reflect fair value during the third quarter of 2019. The $32.6 million impairment charge resulted in a tax impact of $7.4 million for 2019.

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.
Management uses the above 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 current 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.
