NOTE 6 — SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCING
The Company facilitates a voluntary Supply Chain Finance ("SCF") program with its financial institutions that allows certain suppliers the option to sell or assign their rights to receivables due from the Company, enabling the suppliers to receive payment from the financial institutions sooner than our negotiated payment terms. Participation in the SCF program is based on terms and conditions negotiated directly between the suppliers and the financial institutions. The Company agrees to commercial terms with suppliers independent of their participation in the SCF program, and thus their participation has no impact on our payment terms. The Company is not a party to the agreements between our suppliers and the financial institutions, and has no economic interest in our suppliers' decision to participate in the SCF program. For suppliers who participate in the SCF program, they have sole discretion to determine which invoices, if any, are to be sold to the financial institutions. All amounts payable to suppliers who participate in the SCF program are included within "accounts payable" in the Company's balance sheets, and the Company's associated payments to the suppliers are included in operating activities in the Company's statements of cash flows. At March 2023, December 2022 and March 2022, accounts payable included total outstanding balances of $23.9 million, $24.7 million and $16.7 million, respectively, due to suppliers that participate in the SCF program.

NOTE 78 — 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.

NOTE 89 — 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 $292.8$321.3 million at September 2022, $297.4March 2023, $322.3 million at December 20212022 and $298.9$287.5 million at September 2021,March 2022, 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 LIBORreference rates on the Company's future interest payments. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements was $300.0 million at SeptemberMarch 2023, December 2022 and $350.0 million at both December 2021 and September 2021.March 2022. Because these interest rate swap agreements meet the criteria for hedge accounting, all related gains and losses are deferred within accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") and are being amortized through April 18, 2024.
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 would discontinue hedge accounting. All designated hedging relationships were determined to be highly effective as of September 2022. A limited number of foreign currency exchange contracts intendedMarch 2023.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
ContractsAny contracts that are not designated as hedges and are recorded at fair value in the Company's balance sheets primarily relate to derivatives contracts used by the Company to manage foreign currency exchange risk on certain accounts receivable and accounts payable. Gains or losses on the balance sheet contracts largely offset the net transaction gains or losses on the related assets and liabilities. In addition, a limited number of cash flow hedges were deemed ineffective and de-designated.sheets. Changes in the fair values of derivative contracts not designated as hedges are recognized directly in earnings.
The following table presents a summary of these derivatives included in the Company's statements of operations:

NOTE 11 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On April 1, 2023, the Company made its annual grant of equity awards under the Kontoor Brands, Inc. 2019 Stock Compensation Plan, including approximately 230,000 shares of performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs”) to employees, approximately 180,000 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 $48.39 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.

NOTE 1012 — INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the ninethree months ended September 2022March 2023 was 20.1%20.0% compared to 19.3%19.5% in the 20212022 period. The ninethree months ended September 2022 included a net discrete tax expense primarily related to the revaluation of deferred tax balances due to a change in tax jurisdiction, partially offset by benefits from stock-based compensation. The net discrete tax expense for the nine months ended September 2022 increased the effective income tax rate by 0.7%. The nine months ended September 2021March 2023 included a net discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock-based compensation which decreased the effective income tax rate by 0.7%0.2%. The three months ended March 2022 included a net discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock-based compensation which decreased the effective income tax rate by 1.1%. The effective tax rate without discrete items for the ninethree months ended September 2022March 2023 was 19.4%20.2% compared to 20.0%20.6% in the 20212022 period. The decrease was primarily due to changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings.
During the ninethree months ended September 2022,March 2023, the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest increased by $0.6$0.3 million to $14.1$15.3 million. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $0.2$2.5 million within the next 12 fiscal months due to settlements of audits and expiration of statutes of limitations, all of which would reduce income tax expense.
On April 5, 2023, the Company was granted a tax holiday from local income taxes in a foreign jurisdiction through 2031. The associated tax effects, including approximately $5.5 million of tax expense related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets in this jurisdiction, will be reflected in the second quarter of 2023.

Fiscal Year and Basis of Presentation
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 thirdfirst quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 202230, 2023 ("fiscal 2022"2023"), which is a 52-week fiscal year.

Macroeconomic Environment Impact, Including COVID-19 Specific Considerationsand Other Recent Developments
Macroeconomic pressuresconditions, including inflation, rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns, fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates and distress in global credit and banking markets, as well as ongoing global supply chain disruptions, labor challenges and the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”)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 causedbetween Russia and Ukraine continues to cause disruption in the surrounding areas and greater uncertainty in the global economy.
Inflationary pressures increased key input costs and softened consumer demand beginning late in the second quarter of 2022 and continued through the thirdfirst quarter of 2022. The rise in2023. Global interest rates began to increase during the thirdsecond half of 2022, and the resulting distress in financial markets has continued through the first quarter of 2022 also2023. These factors contributed to reduced consumer discretionary spending. These factors have contributed tospending, resulting in retailer actions to reduce their elevated inventory levels resultingwhich continued to negatively impact our sales in reduced demand and corresponding lower shipments during the thirdfirst quarter of 2022, and are expected to have some ongoing impact in2023.
Many of the fourth quarter of 2022.
While global supply chain disruptions becameseen in the first quarter of 2022 were less prevalent during the thirdfirst quarter of 2022, port congestion and2023. Accordingly, we have been able to minimize the higher costs associated with air freight. However, we experienced increases in other transportation delays continued but were less impactfulinput costs due to our operations. During the third quarter of 2022, we reduced our use of air freight and utilized the increased availability of ocean freight. We continue to work with our customers and vendors, manage our on-hand inventory, meet ongoing customer demand and minimize supply chain impacts.inflationary pressures discussed above.
We experienced store closures, disruptions in distribution and restrictions on consumer mobility in certain regions of China during the latter part of the first quarter of 2022 and throughout the second and third quarters of 2022 due to COVID-19 and related restrictions, which had a significant impact on prior year sales and operations in APAC. We took actions to manage these impacts including the expansion of our credit lines in the region during the second quarter of 2022 to ensure sufficient liquidity. Although certain regions in China had generally returned to normal operations by the end of the second quarter of 2022, other regions experienced restrictions during the third quarter of 2022, and we expectlifted its zero-tolerance lockdowns and restrictions in China to continue to impact store closures and consumer behavior during the fourth quarter of 2022.2022, consumer behavior and the broader economy have not yet normalized, which had a negative impact on our sales in the first quarter of 2023.
While we anticipate continued disruption and volatility during the fourth quarter of 2022 and future periods,2023, we believe that we are appropriately positioned to successfully manage through known operational challenges. We continue to closely monitor macroeconomic conditions, including consumer behavior and the impact of these factors on consumer demand.
Business Overview
We have undergone transformational change to improve operational performance, address internal and external factors and set the stage for long-term profitable growth. We have launched significant initiatives to refine a global go-to-market approach that will sustain our long-term commitment to total shareholder return, some of which were accelerated due to the COVID-19 environment.
23Kontoor Brands, Inc. Q3 FY22Q1 FY23 Form 10-Q20
We made significant investments to support the design and implementation of our global enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system and information technology infrastructure build-out, which was completed in 2021. In 2022, we continued to invest in areas such as digital and information technology that leverage our global ERP platform. Certain prior year comparisons are affected by ERP implementation costs incurred in 2021, including $17.8 million during the third quarter of 2021, as well as a shift in the timing of certain shipments from the third quarter to the second quarter of 2021 related to the Company's ERP implementation in EMEA. This timing shift will primarily have an impact on year-over-year quarterly comparisons but will not impact the full year.Business Overview
We have now transitioned intocontinue to execute on our Horizon 2 multi-year strategic vision, "Catalyzing Growth" which outlines four growth catalysts: (i) expansion of our core U.S. Wholesale business, (ii) category extensions such as outdoor, teesworkwear and work,t-shirts, (iii) geographic expansion of our Wrangler® and Lee® brands, most notably in China,the APAC region, and (iv) channel expansion focused on the digital platforms in our U.S. Wholesale and Direct-to-Consumer channels. We are focused on driving brand growth and delivering long-term value to our stakeholders including our consumers, customers, shareholders, suppliers and communities around the world. To support our growth initiatives, we approved plans during the third quarter of 2022 to globalize our operating model and relocate our European headquarters to Geneva, Switzerland.

Net revenues decreased 7% due to declines in the Wrangler and Lee segments and a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates |
We have chosen accounting policies that management believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial position in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.GAAP. We apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. Significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated and combined financial statements included in the 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The application of these accounting policies requires that we make estimates and assumptions about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenues, expenses, contingent assets and liabilities and related disclosures. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Because our business cycle is relatively short (i.e., from the date that inventory is received until that inventory is sold and the trade accounts receivable is collected), actual results related to most estimates are known within a few months after any balance sheet date. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to future events and are therefore inherently uncertain, especially as it relates to events outside of our control. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations when the actual amounts become known. Refer to Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in this Form 10-Q for considerations of macroeconomic pressures, COVID-19conditions and other recent developments.
27Kontoor Brands, Inc. Q3 FY22Q1 FY23 Form 10-Q32
The accounting policies that involve the most significant estimates, assumptions and management judgments used in preparation of the financial statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are discussed within "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in the 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in these policies disclosed in the 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
