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 and distributes 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 third quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 ("fiscal 2022"), which is a 52-week fiscal year. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended September 2022, December 2021 and September 2021 correspond to the fiscal periods ended October 1, 2022, January 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively.
Macroeconomic Environment Impact, Including COVID-19 Specific Considerations
Macroeconomic pressures including inflation, rising interest rates and recessionary concerns, as well as ongoing global supply chain disruptions and the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, continue to adversely impact global economic conditions, as well as the Company's operations. Additionally, although we do not have any significant operations within Russia or Ukraine, the conflict in these regions has caused 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 and contract termination, 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 6 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 macroeconomic conditions, global supply chain disruptions, COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. 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 and nine months ended September 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for fiscal 2022. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements included in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2022 ("2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance was effective upon issuance and the Company may adopt the guidance and apply it prospectively to contract modifications made or relationships entered into or evaluated any time from the issuance date through December 31, 2022. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact that adoption of this guidance would have on its financial statements and related disclosures, most notably the Company's credit facilities and interest rate swap agreements, which is not expected to be significant.
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 a rollforward of obligations. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2023, except for the obligation rollforward requirement which is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures in relation to certain of the Company's programs.
