Kontoor Brands reports Q4 adjusted EPS $1.73, consensus $1.64

Reports Q4 revenue $1.02B, consensus $976.18M. “We had a strong finish to the year driven by better-than-expected revenue, earnings and cash generation,” said CEO Scott Baxter. “2025 was a transformational year for Kontoor, highlighted by the acquisition of Helly Hansen, strong growth in Wrangler and disciplined execution. Our results highlight the strength and resiliency of our expanded brand portfolio as well as the impact from our transformation initiatives. Supported by record cash generation, including a $100M contribution from Helly Hansen, we are ahead of our planned deleverage path, allowing us to capitalize on opportunistic share repurchases in the fourth quarter. I want to thank our colleagues around the globe for positioning us to deliver strong returns for our shareholders in the years ahead.”
