VFC - VF Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter Revenue and Earnings and Exceeds FY24 Cash Flow Expectations
VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter (Q4'FY24) and fiscal year ended March 30, 2024 (FY24).
Bracken Darrell, President and CEO, said:
"In Q4, we made progress advancing our Reinvent transformation program. We closed the fiscal year with further inventory reductions helping us deliver $1 billion in operating cash flow and over $800 million in free cash flow, exceeding our guidance. As we move into fiscal year 2025, we will continue to execute our broader turnaround plans, including driving continued momentum on our key priorities, namely fixing the Americas, turning around Vans ® , reducing costs and paying down debt, while progressing on the actions resulting from our strategic portfolio review. We have been rebuilding the leadership team, including the announcement of the CFO appointment, and I feel energized that we are positioning VF to return to sustainable and profitable growth."

Financial Presentation Disclosure
All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis. This release refers to “reported” and “constant dollar” or “constant currency” amounts, terms that are described under the heading below “Constant Currency - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency.” Unless otherwise noted, “reported” and “constant dollar” or “constant currency” amounts are the same. This release also refers to “adjusted” amounts, a term that is described under the heading below “Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Reinvent, Noncash Impairment Charges, Tax and Legal Items, Transaction and Deal Related Activities and Other.” Unless otherwise noted, “reported” and “adjusted” amounts are the same.
Constant Currency - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency
This release refers to “reported” amounts in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which include translation and transactional impacts from foreign currency exchange rates. This release also refers to both “constant dollar” and “constant currency” amounts, which exclude the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. Reconciliations of GAAP measures to constant currency amounts are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release, which identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides management’s view of why this information is useful to investors.
Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Reinvent, Noncash Impairment Charges, Tax and Legal Items, Transaction and Deal Related Activities and Other
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude costs related to Reinvent, VF's transformation program. Costs related to Reinvent were approximately $55 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and $105 million in fiscal 2024.
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude noncash goodwill impairment charges related to the Timberland ® and Icebreaker ® reporting units of approximately $250 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and goodwill impairment charges related to the Timberland ® , Dickies ® and Icebreaker ® reporting units of approximately $508 million in fiscal 2024.
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude the impact to tax expense resulting from the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on September 8, 2023 that upheld the U.S. Tax Court’s decision in favor of the Internal Revenue Service regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with VF’s acquisition of The Timberland Company in September 2011. The adjusted amounts also exclude the impact to tax expense resulting from the decision by the General Court on September 20, 2023 that confirmed the decision of the European Union that Belgium’s excess profit tax regime amounted to illegal State aid. The net impact to tax expense was an increase of approximately $696 million, excluding the reversal of accrued interest income, in fiscal 2024, as a result of these two rulings.
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude legal settlement gains of approximately $29 million recorded in fiscal 2024.
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude transaction and deal related activities and other primarily associated with the review of strategic alternatives for the Global Packs business, consisting of the Kipling ® , Eastpak ® and JanSport ® brands. Total transaction and deal related activities and other include costs of approximately $2 million in fiscal 2024.
Combined, the above items negatively impacted earnings per share by $0.76 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and $3.23 during fiscal 2024. All adjusted amounts referenced herein exclude the effects of these amounts.
Reconciliations of measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to adjusted amounts are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release, which identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides management’s view of why this information is useful to investors. The company also provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we cannot predict certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results. VF defines free cash flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures and software purchases and defines net debt as short and long-term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

| Constant Currency Financial Information |
| VF is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by VF from translating its foreign revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results. As a supplement to our reported operating results, we present constant currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We use constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how our business performed excluding the effects of changes in the rates used to calculate foreign currency translation. Management believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in our businesses. |
| To calculate foreign currency translation on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period). |
| These constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. |

|
| (a) Costs related to Reinvent, VF's transformation program, were $54.5 million and $105.4 million in the three and twelve months ended March 2024, respectively, related primarily to severance and employee-related benefits and the net impact of asset disposals and write-downs. Reinvent resulted in a net tax benefit of $9.2 million and $22.2 million in the three and twelve months ended March 2024, respectively. |
| (b) VF recognized noncash goodwill impairment charges related to the Timberland and Icebreaker reporting units of $211.7 million and $38.8 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 2024. During the twelve months ended March 2024, VF recognized noncash goodwill impairment charges related to the Timberland, Dickies and Icebreaker reporting units of $407.0 million, $61.8 million and $38.8 million, respectively. The impairment charges resulted in a net tax benefit of $1.1 million and $9.2 million in the three and twelve months ended March 2024, respectively. |
| (c) Tax items include the impact to tax expense resulting from the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on September 8, 2023 that upheld the U.S. Tax Court’s decision in favor of the Internal Revenue Service regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with VF’s acquisition of The Timberland Company in September 2011. The net impact to tax expense was an increase of approximately $670.3 million in the twelve months ended March 2024, excluding the reversal of accrued interest income, as a result of this decision. Tax items also include the impact to tax expense resulting from the decision by the General Court on September 20, 2023 that confirmed the decision of the European Union that Belgium’s excess profit tax regime amounted to illegal State aid. The net impact to tax expense was an increase of approximately $26.1 million in the twelve months ended March 2024, as a result of this ruling.
Legal items include legal settlement gains of $29.1 million recorded in the twelve months ended March 2024 within the Other income (expense), net line item. The legal items resulted in a net tax expense of $7.5 million in the twelve months ended March 2024. |
| (d) Transaction and deal related activities and other primarily reflect activities associated with the review of strategic alternatives for the Global Packs business, consisting of the Kipling ® , Eastpak ® and JanSport ® brands, which totaled $2.5 million for the twelve months ended March 2024. The transaction and deal related activities and other resulted in a net tax benefit of $0.6 million in the twelve months ended March 2024. |
| (e) Amounts shown in the table have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The GAAP diluted earnings per share was calculated using 388,559,000 and 388,360,000 weighted average common shares for the three and twelve months ended March 2024, respectively. The adjusted diluted earnings per share impacts were calculated using 388,559,000 and 389,328,000 weighted average common shares for the three and twelve months ended March 2024, respectively. |

| Non-GAAP Financial Information |
| The financial information above has been presented on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis, which excludes the impact of Reinvent, impairment charges, certain tax and legal items, transaction and deal related activities and other. The adjusted presentation provides non-GAAP measures. Management believes these measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding VF's underlying business trends and the performance of VF's ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations. |
| Management uses the above financial measures internally in its budgeting and review process and, in some cases, as a factor in determining compensation. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, VF's operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures presented by other companies. |

Specified strategic business decisions also include costs related to a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations of $12.5 million in the twelve months ended March 2023. The specified strategic business decisions resulted in a net tax benefit of $15.0 million in the twelve months ended March 2023. |
| (c) VF recognized noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of $313.1 million and $735.0 million during the three and twelve months ended March 2023, respectively. The second quarter impairment charges were driven by non-operating factors including higher interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. The fourth quarter impairment charges were related to lower financial projections and increased risk of achieving management's forecasts.
A noncash pension settlement charge of $91.8 million was recorded in the Other income (expense), net line item during the twelve months ended March 2023. The pension settlement charge resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract, which was an action taken to streamline administration, manage financial risk associated with pension plans, and to transfer a portion of the liability associated with VF's U.S. pension plan to an insurance company.
The impairment and pension settlement charges resulted in a net tax benefit of $32.0 million and $92.2 million in the three and twelve months ended March 2023, respectively. |
| (d) Tax item includes a $94.9 million discrete tax benefit recognized during the twelve months ended March 2023 related to the Internal Revenue Service examinations for tax year 2017 and short-tax year 2018 resulting in a favorable adjustment to VF's transition tax liability under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. |
| (e) Amounts shown in the table have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The GAAP diluted earnings per share was calculated using 388,062,000 and 388,370,000 weighted average common shares for the three and twelve months ended March 2023, respectively. The adjusted diluted earnings per share was calculated using 388,409,000 and 388,370,000 weighted average common shares for the three and twelve months ended March 2023, respectively. |
| Non-GAAP Financial Information |
| The financial information above has been presented on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis, which excludes the impact of transaction and deal related activities, activity related to specified strategic business decisions, impairments, a pension settlement charge and a tax item. The adjusted presentation provides non-GAAP measures. Management believes these measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding VF's underlying business trends and the performance of VF's ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations. |
| Management uses the above financial measures internally in its budgeting and review process and, in some cases, as a factor in determining compensation. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, VF's operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures presented by other companies. |
