Greetings. Welcome to Kontoor Brands First Quarter Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. A brief question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. [Operator Instructions] Please note this conference is being recorded. At this time, I’ll turn the conference over to Eric Tracy, Senior Director, Investor Relations. Eric, you may now begin.

Thank you, operator, and welcome to Kontoor Brands first quarter earnings conference call. Participants on today’s call will make forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ. These uncertainties are detailed in documents filed with the SEC. We urge you to read our risk factors, cautionary language and other disclosures contained in those reports. Amounts referred to on today’s call will often be on an adjusted dollar basis, which we clearly defined in the news release that was issued earlier this morning. Adjusted amounts exclude the impact of restructuring and separation costs, business model changes and other adjustments. Reconciliations of GAAP measures to adjusted amounts can be found in the supplemental financial tables included in today’s news release, which is available on our website at kontoorbrands.com. These tables identify and quantify excluded items and provide management’s view of why this information is useful to investors. Unless otherwise noted, amounts referred to on this call will be in constant currency, which exclude the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Constant currency amounts are intended to help investors better understand the underlying operational performance of our business, excluding the impacts of shifts in currency exchange rates over the period. Joining on today’s call are Kontoor Brands’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Scott Baxter; and Chief Financial Officer, Rustin Welton. Following our prepared remarks, we will open the call for questions. We anticipate the call will last about an hour. Scott?

Thanks, Eric, and thank you, all, for joining us. Let me state at the outset, we will intentionally keep our prepared comments a bit tighter today, as we look forward to articulating greater detail on our revolving strategies with you at our upcoming Investor Day in a few weeks on May 24. But today, we are really pleased to share our first quarter results, results that continue to accelerate across nearly all areas of our business. Our performance in the quarter demonstrates how the powerful combination of strategic investments and solid execution come together to yield improving fundamentals and we think this quarter provides a greater example of the opportunity ahead as we are just getting started. As always, as I’m going to start by thanking our global team with a special call out to those colleagues working on our ERP implementation. It is this dedication to excellence by our employees around the world that is at the core of this quarter’s strong performance. And it’s why I’m so confident in Kontoor’s future. We have much more work to be done and we will remain humble and focused on areas within our control, but I know our colleagues are committed to delivering on our strategic plan. Over the last 2 years we have consistently communicated the following strategy to drive more profitable and sustained growth over the longer term. First, enhance and accelerate our core U.S. wholesale business. Second, elevate our direct connection with consumers through channel expansion, focused on evolving our B2C and digital ecosystem. Third, thoughtfully extend our reach around the globe, prioritizing opportunities within the China region. And fourth, diversify our product mix through category extensions, amplifying outdoor, workwear and t-shirts. And in support of these long-term growth opportunities we have also discussed where we are distorting…

Thank you, Scott. And thank you all for joining us on today’s call. As Scott mentioned, we will keep our remarks brief and focus largely on the quarter due to the upcoming Investor Day on May 24. Before the first quarter review, though, I wanted to provide an update on our recent ERP implementation in North America, as I know it is a topic of interest. In addition, I want to briefly elaborate on how our strategic investments like technology are yielding improving fundamentals and enhanced optionality. As mentioned on our last earnings call, the second regional ERP implementation was scheduled in North America are early in the second quarter. I’m very pleased to report that we have successfully gone live and are executing according to plan on our transition and ramp up activities. This is a significant accomplishment and milestone for Kontoor. And we look forward to our final regional implementation scheduled for the second half of 2021. Technology initiatives like ERP and Digital are excellent examples of how we remain committed to making the necessary investments to drive long-term sustainable growth and efficiency improvements. These actions are enabling execution to enhance and accelerate our core U.S. wholesale business expand under-indexed accretive channels like Digital, enhanced international penetration in key markets like China and extend our category reach with programs like outdoor, workwear, and t-shirts. Investments are not only leading to improved fundamentals and profitability, but also continuing to enhance optionality. On the last earnings call in early March, we mentioned that we had already made $75 million in discretionary debt repayments in the first quarter. Given performance, we made an additional incremental debt repayment of $25 million in the quarter to bring the total $100 million in the period. With these additional repayments and, in spite of significant…

Thank you. At this time, we’ll be conducting a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Thank you. And our first question is coming from the line of Jay Sole with UBS. Please proceed with your questions.

Great. Thank you so much. I want to ask about the ERP impact and the timing of the implementation. Rustin, I think you said that the company has successfully gone live and is executing. But there are still some final regional implementations for the back half of the year. Can you maybe just elaborate a little bit on what percentage of the ERP system has been implemented and sort of what’s the risk profile right now in terms of the business, the operational risk always associated with these kinds of things? How much risk is still there? What can you tell us about that?

Sure. Good morning, Jay. Thanks for the question. In terms of the ERP impact, maybe just let me first start with where we are on the ERP implementation schedule. You may remember, Jay, we implemented our first regional implementation in Q3 of 2020. And that was in our Asia region. And as we indicated this morning, on our prepared remarks, we just went live in North America here early in the second quarter. So, obviously, as you know, Jay, we’re predominantly a North American based business with roughly 75% of our sales in North America. So certainly the largest region is live. And as I indicated on the remarks, we’re certainly executing according to plan with our transition and ramp-up activities. As you think about the timing impact, Jay, specifically, as we said on the last call, we anticipated that there would be some timing shifts in order patterns that would really help Q1 and potentially Q3, while tempering Q2 a bit more. As a reminder though, I would say that those timing shifts are expected to have no impacts on the full year results. So as we think a little bit more about our Q1, there were a number of puts and takes, Jay, both positive and negative that impacted the quarter, including stimulus as Scott talked about, lockdowns in Europe, lapping the VFO in India, model changes, quality of sales initiatives, and of course, the timing shifts with the ERP. So, several of those, including ERP are really difficult to isolate the individual impact of those. But what I would emphasize for you, Jay, is even with the shifts, as Scott mentioned, our Q1 top-line was really broad-based and significantly above expectations, really driven by the areas where you’ve seen us investing over the last several quarters, including U.S. wholesale, digital and China. And we’re really seeing that some KTB-specific outperformance was really growth versus not only 2020, but also 2019, even with the drag from some of the strategic exits that we’ve executed. And Scott talked about the continued share gains. And that’s really what we love, the momentum and the brand, and the underlying business. And that’s given us the confidence to raise the full year outlook. So really happy about where we are on the ERP implementation. It’s been a significant journey. And again, 2 of the 3 regional platforms are live now, with the third one being Europe in the back half of 2021.

Got it. That’s super helpful. Maybe if I can follow up, Scott, you made some interesting comments on denim, saying, you didn’t want to use the word cyclical, because that’s sort of implies an endpoint more you see structural gains. Can you maybe elaborate on what you’re seeing right now in the marketplace? What you see with consumers that they’re doing differently, that gives you confidence in the category, really improving from where it was maybe a couple of years ago?

Yeah, I think we see a fundamental shift really. We think about – to talk about the denim cycle, and that’s something that we’ll participate and we feel real strongly about and we’re positioned extremely well. But we see this thing as a big movement, Jay. We see it as a global movement to customization and you know, when I say – casualization. So when we think about this, we think about the fact that we can play now with the globe, because of our business. We’re restructuring where we’re set up around the world. We’ve got a really, really nice set of initiatives that play really well into it. So if you think about all the work that we’ve done on our innovation, all the work that we’re doing on our design, you’ve seen the product that we’re producing now and how good it is globally. And the demand creation portfolio that we put out, some of the stuff that I talked about today with Georgia May Jagger and J.Lo, those things, they’re really helping the consumer shift into this casualization around the globe, which is really important, because we think of it as a much bigger dynamic, a much more global dynamic, and something that we’ll be able to participate in for the long term. But I think the key thing for us is we believe we’re the ones that are driving it. So we’re taking share in what we’re doing, which is really important for our business going forward, is we’re expanding the marketplace. So, Jay, if you were to spend time, like you do in London and New York and San Francisco globally, you’re seeing that as people come back to work, they’re dressing differently. The world went into a really tough situation that we’re all trying to come out of now. And as people are coming out of it, they’re saying to themselves, “In the future, I’d like to be a little bit more casual. Denim is going to be my play there.” And we’ve positioned ourselves really nicely.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from the line of Erinn Murphy with Piper Sandler. Please proceed with your question.

Great, thanks. Good morning. I was hoping, Scott, you could talk a little bit more about the Tmall launch of the Wrangler brand. You said it exceeded expectations. How do you see that scaling in the region over time? And then, just curious, China bigger picture for both brands, what’s the promotional landscape been like versus the pre-pandemic? And then I have a quick follow-up question.

Sure, sure, no problem. So from the Tmall standpoint, in the Wrangler lunch, we feel really good about the launch. We set all of our internal expectations. It’s a higher profile over there. I think the thing that’s really important for us and we’ve talked a little bit about this, is we have such a head-start with our Lee brand. We’ve been in the marketplace for a really long time. We know the consumer. We know the market. We know the customers. So we really know how to operate with a really senior team, so we’ve got a terrific team on the ground there. So bringing our brand Wrangler to that marketplace was a real benefit for us having that kind of expertise. So we’ve seen and hit the metrics that we’ve established for ourselves. But I think the most important thing was that our team was very strategic and smart in how we launched this first from a digital standpoint. And now, we’ll go to a physical omni-channel presence going forward, which you’re going to hear a lot more about as we come up to our Investor Day on May 24. But we’re really pleased with how the consumer is thinking about and reacting to the Wrangler brand in China right now. And then, from a broader perspective, you heard my comments and Rustin’s comments about how the business is doing in China. We’re really pleased with the brand and how it’s doing right now, pleased with the team. And we see a lot of opportunities still in that marketplace, I mean, significant opportunity going forward. I liken this to the very early stages. If it was a scale of 1 to 10, I liken this to a – we’re at like a 2 right now with all kinds of potential and opportunity ahead of us. So we’re pretty pleased with where we are. And again, we’re going to spend some time and we’re going to unpack that for you at Investor Day going forward. But thanks for the question. Thanks for joining us today, Erinn.

Perfect. And then, I guess, a follow up for Rustin on just the shaping of the year. And I hear you on the timing shift of ERP. But looking at kind of how you spoke to Q2, the implicit back half guidance is very – it seems conservative to us. It really doesn’t give you guys a lot of credit for growth, or just very modest growth in the back half to get to your low teens top-line. So can you just maybe help us think through some of the drivers there just – or if we’re missing anything? Maybe it’s kind of coming out of India business model change, but again, very different kind of second half versus first half growth rates.

Sure. Thanks, Erinn. Good morning. Thanks for the question. Obviously, one of the things is the comp. As you think about 2020 and certainly strengthening, as you move through the back half of 2020, relative to the front-half, you certainly saw our results. So, that’s part of it, but maybe let me step through kind of the full-year impact on both profitability and earnings. So, again, really strong momentum here in, Q1. And going into Q2, as we talked a little bit about that, that ERP go-live will cause some timing shifts, kind of benefiting Q1 as well as Q3, while tempering Q2 a bit more. And just as a reminder, Q2 is our lowest volume quarter. And so, as you would expect, we will have a bit more pronounced impact on profitability, particularly, as we continue to invest behind strategic initiatives and demand creation to support that top-line not just in 2020, the back half of 2021, Erinn, but in 2022 and beyond. And finally, as we’ve stated, we will be – we do expect to be modestly higher in the back half of EPS on a dollar basis in the second half of the year. The other thing I would sort of highlight, Erinn, is that, obviously, there is a lot of macro uncertainty as Scott and I both referenced in our discussion earlier, whether that’s continued lockdowns in Europe, certainly supply chain disruptions. So we certainly want to be prudently conservative and feel like we’ve taken those into considerations, but really want to make sure that we’re emphasizing those investments to support the long-term top-line as well in the back half. So, hopefully, that helps a little bit more with the shaping in the year and how we’re seeing it play out.

Thank you. Our next question will be coming from the line of Adrienne Yih with Barclays. Please proceed with your question.

Good morning. Let me add my congratulations. This is a – the second quarter in a row where we’re really starting to see that Horizon 2 play out, so well done there.

Thanks, Adrienne.

I was wondering if – you’re welcome. I was wondering if you can talk about, the China Wrangler launch, what you’re seeing there, how strong, I mean, China seems to be a hotbed of positive news, in terms of the strength of the recovery. And then on the other side, we have had put them down questions about, denim-based retailers having exposure. And, I know, this is a kind of political subject, but to the extent that do you have exposure, how do you know that you have – if you were to have cotton, perhaps, that is exposed to that Xinjiang region? And if you can talk a little bit about risk – any risk reward aspect from China upside versus any exposure? Thank you very much.

Good morning, Adrienne. How are you? Thanks for joining us today. It’s Scott.

Hey, Scott.

I’ll start with your China question for Wrangler – nice to hear your voice. I’ll start with the China Wrangler question. We’ve talked a lot about it on the prepared remarks. But it’s an opportunity to kind of talk more about it now. So I appreciate it. It was a big decision for us to go there. But it was a very easy decision that we made early on in our strategy, our portfolio there, roughly the business that we had built, the leadership team that we have in place and the experience that we have in the marketplace over a very, very long period of time. And quite frankly, the success that we’ve had there, it was an easy decision for us. It was just the timing standpoint, when will we go ahead after the spin and make the decision to move. So since the decision to move, and it was delayed during the pandemic, as you know a little bit, we’ve been really pleased. We’ve been pleased with how the consumer has taken the product. We’ve been pleased with the demand creation and how the consumer is absorbing the demand creation. What I mean by that is that the consumer really gets the story and they get the brand, and I think that’s the really important part. And then we can capitalize on the infrastructure that we already have in place, which is really important. And now, we’re kind of phasing into kind of our second kind of thought process and strategy around how do we go ahead and start to really grow the brand there, and that we launched, as you know, digitally first and now we’ve gone to an omni-channel thought process in how we go head to wholesale and how we have our own physical stores to in the marketplace. So it’s a really good position for us to be in. As far as exposure, as you know, we don’t buy cotton, as you know, it’s a fabric that we buy. And for us, we do a really nice job. One of the things that we pride ourselves on is our supply chain here at Kontoor Brands, very well established. One of the great parts about our spin was that our supply chain had been established from a world class supply chain, long-term supply chain. So this wasn’t new to us, and we’ve got a lot of talents over. So they’ve done a really nice job with making sure that working with our suppliers around the globe, that we are buying the right type of fabric for our products. So, right now, we feel very well positioned and how we are positioned in that situation currently.

Okay, fantastic. That’s super helpful. I know, we’ve touched on the denim cycles, but I guess, I actually in more curious whether you think there’s a fashion shift component to it. So we understand that there’s a transference of athleisure, perhaps 2, perhaps denim, which is sort of more broad base. But on top of that, can you talk about a fashion component of it, maybe change in silhouette, et cetera? And then for, Rustin, really want to get a little bit more color on AUC progress. I know that you have had continued AUC progress in the face of rising input pricing pressure. So a little help, there would be great, thank you.

Yeah, for sure. So I’m thrilled you asked that question, because you’re the first person has picked up on that component and that piece of it. And let me tell you why that’s really important and why I’m really impressed with the question, because you’re thinking about it in terms of the fact that we’re expanding the marketplace. And that’s exactly what we’re thinking about. We have spent a ton of energy time money in our innovation, and also in our design. And that innovation in design is bringing our product to a more premium level, which is really good, because that just creates incredible brand heat throughout the entire portfolio. But what we’re going to see throughout this casualization, and I mentioned this a little bit earlier, this is why it’s important. Big cities, major metro markets around the globe, from London to New York, to San Francisco, to Paris, to Munich, they move into a casualization process. Those people that come back into not just the workplace, but coming back into social environments, concerts, things like that, they are going to want to dress with a little higher design fashion element from a denim standpoint. So we are playing right into that extending marketplace. That’s why I said earlier that this – the cycle is great, and we’re going to participate in, no question, but we’re going to expand the entire marketplace. That’s where the real win is very long-term, and that’s the component. So great question, glad you asked, because it’s a really important part, and it helps us because it’s really been part of the strategy of how we’ve been investing. Now from an ATG standpoint, we have been really pleased with ATG. I think the thing that’s really important for us for ATG. It’s been…

And Adrienne, it’s Rustin. I’ll go ahead and talk a little bit about rising input costs. So, certainly, as we’ve spoken about previously, we’re not immune to the macro-economic challenges that are that are happening in the marketplace, whether that’s port congestion, higher freight rates, labor shortages, we’re certainly actively monitoring all of the input costs. And we’ve considered that in the updated outlook that we provided this morning, where we raised our gross margins from the previous guide of 150 to 200 basis points, versus adjusted margin from last year up to 230 to 270 basis points. And, just a couple of points to highlight, I mean, it was our third consecutive quarter of triple digit gross margin increases. In that first quarter, as I mentioned on my remarks, we did see 500 basis points improvement above our Q1 2019 on an adjusted basis. So, the investments, I think, are big key here, Adrienne, as we think about our model moving forward. And we’ve talked about this quite a bit here this morning, whether that’s in demand creation, innovation, digital, et cetera. And that proactive kind of margin improvement opportunities where we’ve been investing in is really driving favorable channel and geographic mix. And certainly, you’ve seen us focused on quality of sales that innovation in design is also going to help support pricing and mixing up of AURs. So, that’s what’s giving us confidence from a margin perspective. And, certainly, as we always do, we always talk about our supply chain as a differentiator. And that diversified supply chain, where approximately one-third of our global production is internally manufactured in this hemisphere, and approximately two-thirds are sourced from over 225 facilities in over 20 countries really provides us the flexibility to diversify where possible and minimize some of those inflationary pressures. So hopefully, that provides a little more color on how we’re thinking about not just average unit costs, but also pricing and mixing up of AURs. Thanks, Adrienne.

Thank you. Our next question will be coming from the line of Bob Drbul with Guggenheim Securities. Please proceed with your questions.

Good morning. I guess a couple of quick questions for me. Can you talk a little bit about new business development wins that you’re seeing? I think, first. And, I guess, can you comment a little more around as you look at the digital ecosystem evolution, where you think you are, and how that’s developing? And I’d be remiss not to ask about the JLO campaign. So I don’t know, if you could just give us an idea on demand creation, sort of, where you see it, especially with these gross margin gains and the ability to reinvest, where you are with the JLO campaign and the Georgia May Jagger campaign. That’d be pretty helpful for us. Thanks.

Sure about that. That’s no problem. Thanks for the questions, really appreciate it. From the new business development standpoint, I think the thing that I’m most pleased with is that Lee, since the very beginning, have decided that these brands were under invested, and under penetrated and under distributed. And we had a pretty big whitespace globally, and we’ve attacked that. But I think the thing that’s probably the most important piece of it is that we just see a ton more opportunity going forward with the brand. So, when we had our success with our launch of Walmart, and we’ve seen really, really nice results, especially since we got all our POS up, feel really good about that launch, that really got us going. And then, you see the things that we’ve done with ATG, and this is a global point of view, right? So, I think, we’ve done with [Preston] [ph], the things we’ve done with Cubus, and then, obviously, the things that we’re going to talk about in our upcoming meeting. So we’re also going to spend time with you, we’re going to take you through this in a pretty significant way, Investor Day, but there’s much more to come. And then I look at like things like SCHEELS, right? And I think about how do we structure and how do we have new business developments that really elevates the brand and puts us on the next pedestal so that we can get to the next level. And the win like that gets ATG to the next level, because it’s such an important customer, it’s such an important consumer. And people see that at the right place, and you’re seeing our products positioned really correctly, it just brings us additional brand heat, so really pleased with it.…

Thank you. Our next question will be coming from the line of Sam Poser with Susquehanna. Please proceed with your question.

Thank you for taking my questions. I’ve got a couple, 1, just on your supply chain. I mean, what – you’re not getting, what percent of your supply chain is coming, is all from the North America and not being impacted by the courts right now?

Yeah, so Sam, it’s Rustin. Good morning. As we talked a little bit about, our global production roughly one-third is in this hemisphere that is really serving this hemisphere. And, certainly, our plants in Central America, are really servicing this hemisphere. Again, two-thirds of our production is source, and certainly serves not just the U.S., but Asia and Europe as well. And certainly, obviously, Sam, U.S. is about 75% of our business. So we have a pretty fair portion that is coming through with our own internal manufactured product in the hemisphere. And certainly that’s helping us mitigate some of the broader supply chain challenges that you’re hearing from others in the peer set.

Thanks. And then, secondly, you’re increasing your marketing spend, and that sounds like, it’s pretty much focused on digital. In doing that, and how much of that digital marketing, do you think helped the first quarter? And how are you thinking about that within your guidance for the back half? I have no more questions.

Yeah, it’s a great question, Sam. I mean, I know when you look at this business, we’ve been traditionally under-indexed, as you think about demand creation as a percent of revenue, sub 5% of our revenue has been spent historically on advertising. So we’ve talked since the spin about really wanting to invest back behind these brands. You certainly saw us start to do that a little bit more when we amplified in the fourth quarter some of the demand creation, certainly drove strong results around holiday and into the first quarter today with the results. And we certainly see an opportunity to continue to invest there. And we’re going to drive that. Digital, as Scott mentioned, is really a critical piece, but it’s not exclusively digital. It’s really talking about the brands and you’re seeing really strong momentum, obviously, with both brands gaining share in the marketplace. And really, all of that is fueled and funded, as you know, Sam, by that gross margin expansion. That’s what creates the oxygen, gives us the ability to invest back into the brand while improving operating margins as well. And that’s the secret sauce from our side.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from the line of Jim Duffy with Stifel. Please proceed with your question.

Thanks. Good morning. Hi, Scott. Hi, Rustin. Hi, Eric.

Hey, Jim.

Hi, Jim. How are you doing?

Well, thank you. I wanted to start talking on the gross margin, really super progress, really strong margin in the first quarter. Rustin, it sounds like some give back in the second quarter. I’m trying to think as we look towards the second half of the year, is there any reason that that first quarter gross margin wouldn’t be sustainable? Is there some absorption of fixed cost deleverage from 2Q manufacturing or what are some of the other things which would pressure the gross margin relative to what you were able to deliver in the first quarter?

Yeah. It’s a great question. Thanks, Jim. Appreciate it. First quarter was really a milestone for us, as you know. We’ve had 3 consecutive quarters now, with triple-digit margin improvement. North of 46% was our strongest quarter to date in Q1 by nearly 300 basis points. So, yeah, a number of drivers structurally really driving that, as we talked a little bit about, that favorable channel mix, quality of sales initiatives you’ve seen us undertake, as well as product cost enhancements we continue to focus on. And then, certainly, that first quarter also benefited by some customer and product mix, lower inventory provisions versus prior year, and certainly, higher production volumes versus prior year, which were impacted by COVID. So that gross margin expansion remains a critical focal point for us, Jim, and really enables us to invest back into the brands while improving the operating margins, as we talked about. As we think about this unfolding into the balance of the year, certainly as we go into the second quarter, there will be some margin impact, ERP implementation activities with the cutover. So, we said that the gross margin expansion wouldn’t be linear on a quarter to quarter basis. And then, as you think about the back half of the year, as we’ve talked about on the call here, Jim, certainly a lot of uncertainty is still out there with supply chain issues. And we are just being prudently conservative as we’re thinking about the balance of the year, and making sure that, we’re dialing in the margin appropriately. But, obviously, we feel good about what we’re seeing to raise that guidance on the gross margin, again, from that 150 to 200 basis points improvement up to the 230 to 270 we talked about this morning.

Okay, great. And then, Rustin, I wanted to ask about EBIT margin and flow through. The guidance implies EBIT margin back above [pre-sten] [ph] levels. I understand you’re reinvesting some in marketing. Can you talk about what the demand creation budget that’s implied in that guidance is? You mentioned wanting to get it above the 5% level. Where would you see it this year? And then, related to EBIT margin, strong upside in the first quarter. I’m wondering for investors, is there any sort of framework to think about like when you have upside how much of that gets passed through to investors versus reinvested in the business? Is it 2/3rds 1/3rd, 1/3rd 2/3rds, anything you can say on that would be helpful?

Yeah, certainly, we’ll go into the SG&A and our thoughts on how to invest and demand creation a little bit more at Investor Day here in a couple of weeks, Jim. But maybe just a couple of points to highlight on your questions, you’ve heard us talk from the very beginning about earning our way into these investments. And you’re seeing that materialize with that expansion on the gross margin side, and again, really creating that oxygen to reinvest back into the business. You saw us start to do that a little heavier in the fourth quarter of last year. And we’re going to continue that this year. I won’t get into specifically targets around advertising as a percent of revenue this year. But, again, we really like the momentum on the brands, and really investing behind the brands. They’ve been under indexed – or under invested in historically. And that’s a key part of our thesis here as Kontoor is the ability to really invest back behind these brands and drive growth. And certainly, you’ll see a lot more about that on the Investor Day here in a couple of weeks. But appreciate the question, Jim, thanks.

Thank you. At this time, we’ve reached end of our question-and-answer session. And I’ll turn the call over to Scott Baxter for closing remarks.

I wanted to thank all of you for joining us today and certainly appreciate the engagement and the support of our company and the great questions that we had today from the community. So thank you very much. And I also wanted to make sure that all of you can join us on May 24 for our Investor Day. We’d love to have you all there. Look forward to a great day together. And thank you again for your participation today. Have a wonderful day, everyone. Thanks.

Thank you, everyone. This will conclude today’s conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
