Both Kontoor brands were flattered by foreign currency exchange rates, according to BNP Paribas Equity Research senior analyst Laurent Vasilescu. In constant currency, Wrangler rose 1% and Helly Hansen fell 1%, per BNP Paribas calculations. Wrangler has been a low-single-digit growth brand since before the pandemic, and Helly Hansen’s financial filings demonstrate that it is “also a no growth brand,” Vasilescu said in a Wednesday client note. In addition to its Q2 results, Kontoor reported that it has expanded Chief Financial Officer Joseph Alkire duties, and he has been named president of the company as well. Alkire, who has been CFO for three years, will maintain global responsibilities for Helly Hansen and will add oversight of the Wrangler brand, according to a press release.
