GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended March 30, 2019. All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis. This release refers to “reported” and “constant dollar” amounts, terms that are described under the heading “Constant Currency - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency.” Unless otherwise noted, “reported” and “constant dollar” amounts are the same. This release also refers to “continuing” and “discontinued” operations amounts, which are concepts described under the heading “Discontinued Operations - Nautica® Brand Business and Licensing Business.” Unless otherwise noted, results presented are based on continuing operations. This release also refers to “adjusted” amounts, a term that is described under the heading “Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Williamson-Dickie, Icebreaker®, Altra®, Reef®, and Jeans Spin-Off Transaction and Deal Related Expenses, Costs Related to Office Relocations and Other Strategic Business Decisions, and the Provisional Impact of U.S. Tax Legislation.” This release also refers to "Excluding Kontoor Brands" amounts, a term that is described under the heading "Separation of Kontoor Brands." Unless otherwise noted, “reported” and “adjusted” amounts are the same.
“Fiscal 2019 marked one of the most significant periods of transformation in VF's 120-year history, highlighted by our announcement to spin off our Jeans business as an independent, publicly traded company,” said Steve Rendle, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the tremendous workload, we remained sharply focused and delivered another year of strong financial results and top quartile returns to our shareholders."
Rendle continued, "As we enter fiscal 2020, our portfolio is well positioned, and our growth and momentum are strong, fueled by the investments we are making in support of our long-term strategy. The bold decisions we continue to make to evolve our company underpin the transformational journey we're on to deliver on our commitment to be a purpose-led, performance-driven and value-creating enterprise capable of delivering sustainable long-term shareholder value.”
Separation of Kontoor Brands
As previously announced, on April 30, 2019, VF's Board of Directors approved the separation of its Jeans business (the “Separation”), which will be achieved through the distribution of 100 percent of the shares of Kontoor Brands, Inc. ("Kontoor Brands") to holders of VF common stock on the record date of May 10, 2019. VF stockholders of record will receive one share of Kontoor Brands common stock for every seven shares of VF common stock. The distribution is expected to be completed after the close of the New York Stock Exchange today, May 22, 2019. Following the Separation, Kontoor Brands will be an independent, publicly traded company, and VF will retain no ownership interest in Kontoor Brands. Kontoor Brands has received approval for the listing of its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “KTB.”
In the context of VF's review of historical results, this release refers to "excluding Kontoor Brands" amounts, which exclude the historical results of VF’s Jeans reportable segment, Wrangler® RIGGS brand (included in the Work reportable segment) and VF OutletTM business (included in the Other category presented in the reconciliation of reportable segment results). The results are not indicative of the results of Kontoor Brands as a standalone entity, and are not representative of VF’s discontinued operations view of consolidated results after the separation of Kontoor Brands is complete.
In addition, the release provides adjusted fiscal 2020 outlook information reflecting management’s best estimates of the impact the separation of Kontoor Brands may have on VF’s fiscal 2019 financial information and fiscal 2020 outlook on a discontinued operations basis, along with other adjustments. VF’s analysis of the separation of Kontoor Brands has not been completed and is subject to change.
In connection with a distribution date of May 22, 2019, VF will file its Current Report on Form 8-K, no later than May 29, 2019, which will include supplemental financial information on VF, illustrating Kontoor Brands on a discontinued operations basis under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), for certain historical periods.
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 “constant dollar” amounts, which exclude the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars and on foreign currency-denominated transactions in countries with highly inflationary economies. 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.
Discontinued Operations - Nautica® Brand Business and Licensing Business
On April 30, 2018, the company completed the sale of its Nautica® brand business. On April 28, 2017, the company completed the sale of its Licensed Sports Group ("LSG") business, including the Majestic® brand. In conjunction with the LSG divestiture, VF executed its plan to entirely exit the licensing business and completed the sale of the assets of the JanSport® brand collegiate business in the fourth quarter of 2017. Accordingly, the company has included the operating results of these businesses in discontinued operations through their respective dates of sale.
Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Williamson-Dickie, Icebreaker®, Altra®, Reef®, and Jeans Spin-Off Transaction and Deal Related Expenses, Costs Related to Office Relocations and Other Strategic Business Decisions, and the Provisional Impact of U.S. Tax Legislation
This release refers to adjusted amounts that exclude transaction and deal related expenses associated with the acquisitions and integration of Williamson-Dickie, Icebreaker® and Altra®, and expenses and losses on sale related to the divestitures of the Reef® brand and the Van Moer business, which was acquired in connection with the Williamson-Dickie acquisition. The release also refers to transaction expenses associated with the planned spin-off of the Jeans business. Total transaction and deal related expenses, including the losses on sale, were approximately $57 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and $191 million in fiscal 2019.
This release also refers to adjusted amounts that exclude costs primarily associated with the previously announced relocations of VF’s global headquarters and certain brands to Denver, Colorado. The release also refers to costs related to strategic business decisions to cease operations in Argentina and planned business model changes in certain other countries in South America. Total costs were approximately $61 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and $79 million in fiscal 2019.
Adjusted amounts in this release also exclude the provisional amounts recorded due to recent U.S. tax legislation. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act"). Measurement period adjustments related to the provisional net charge and subsequent adjustments related to published Tax Act regulations resulted in a net expense of approximately $14 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and $37 million in fiscal 2019.
Combined, the above net charges negatively impacted earnings per share by $0.28 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and $0.64 during fiscal 2019. All adjusted amounts referenced herein exclude the effects of these amounts.
Adjusted cash flow from operations reflects the impact of the cash-related acquisition, divestiture, integration, separation, relocation and other strategic business decision costs paid in fiscal 2019.
Reconciliations of measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to adjusted amounts, which are considered non-GAAP measures, are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release that identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides management’s view of why this information is useful to investors.

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 for its foreign revenues and expenses in 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 and on foreign currency-denominated transactions in countries with highly inflationary economies. 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, and measuring foreign currency transactions in highly inflationary economies. 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). Similarly, foreign currency transactions in highly inflationary economies, on a constant currency basis, are calculated using exchange rates from the comparable period of the prior year.
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) Transaction and deal related costs include acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisitions of Williamson-Dickie and the Icebreaker® and Altra® brands, and divestiture costs related to the sale of the Reef® brand, which totaled $8.3 million and $41.9 million for the three and twelve months ended March 2019, respectively. The costs also include separation and related expenses associated with the planned spin-off of the Jeans business of $48.7 million and $111.5 million for the three and twelve months ended March 2019, respectively. Additionally, the costs include non-operating losses on sale related to the divestitures of the Reef® brand and Van Moer business, totaling $36.8 million in the twelve months ended March 2019. The transaction and deal related costs resulted in a net tax benefit of $13.4 million and $39.7 million in the three and twelve months ended March 2019, respectively.
(b) Relocation and other strategic business costs for the three and twelve months ended March 2019 include costs associated with the relocation of VF’s global headquarters and certain brands to Denver, Colorado, which totaled $30.7 million and $47.4 million for the three and twelve months ended March 2019, respectively. The costs also include those related to strategic business decisions to cease operations in Argentina and planned business model changes in certain other countries in South America, which totaled $30.5 million and $31.5 million for the three and twelve months ended March 2019, respectively. The relocation and other strategic business costs resulted in a net tax benefit of $7.9 million and $12.2 million for the three and twelve months ended March 2019, respectively.
(c) On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”). Measurement period adjustments related to the provisional net charge and subsequent adjustments related to published Tax Act regulations were recorded during the three and twelve months ended March 2019, resulting in net tax expense of $13.9 million and $37.2 million, respectively.
(d) The contribution from acquisitions represents the operating results of Williamson-Dickie through the one-year anniversary of the acquisition, the operating results of Icebreaker® beginning on the acquisition date of April 3, 2018 and the operating results of Altra® beginning on the acquisition date of June 1, 2018. The operating results of all acquisitions exclude transaction and deal related costs. The contribution from acquisitions resulted in tax expense of $2.1 million and $15.6 million for the three and twelve months ended March 2019, respectively.
(e) The contribution from divestitures represents the operating results of the Reef® brand and Van Moer business through the respective dates of sale for the three months ending December 2018. The operating results of all divestitures exclude transaction and deal related costs. The contribution from divestitures resulted in a tax benefit of $0.2 million for the twelve months ended March 2019.
(f) Amounts shown in the table have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The diluted earnings per share impacts were calculated using 400,731,000 and 400,496,000 weighted average common shares for the three and twelve months ended March 2019, respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The financial information above has been presented on a GAAP basis, on an adjusted basis, which excludes the impact of transaction and deal related costs, relocation and other strategic business costs and the provisional impact of tax reform, and on an adjusted organic basis, which excludes the operating results of Williamson-Dickie (for the six months ended September 2018), Icebreaker®, Altra®, Reef ® (for the three months ending December 2018) and the Van Moer business (for the three months ending December 2018). Contribution from acquisitions and divestitures also excludes transaction and deal related costs. These adjusted presentations are 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.

(a) Transaction and deal related costs include acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition of Williamson-Dickie and the Icebreaker® and Altra® brands, additional cost of goods sold recognized by Williamson-Dickie due to fair value inventory adjustments calculated as part of the purchase price accounting and a non-operating net benefit from hedging the purchase price of Icebreaker®. The transaction and deal related costs resulted in a net tax benefit of $3.3 million and $6.9 million in the three and twelve months ended March 2018, respectively.
(b) On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act. The transitional impact of the Tax Act resulted in a provisional net charge of $465.5 million for the three months ended December 2017. Measurement period adjustments related to the provisional net charge were recorded during the three months ended March 2018, resulting in a tax benefit of $5.1 million in the three months ended March 2018 and a net charge of $460.4 million for the twelve months ended March 2018.
(c) The contribution from divestitures represents the operating results of the Reef® brand and Van Moer business for the three and six months ending March 2018. The contribution from divestitures resulted in a tax expense of $2.1 million and $1.8 million for the three and twelve months ended March 2018.
(d) Amounts shown in the table have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The diluted earnings per share impact was calculated using 401,276,000 and 399,888,000 weighted average common shares for the three and twelve months ended March 2018, respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The financial information above has been presented on a GAAP basis, on an adjusted basis which excludes the provisional impact of tax reform and transaction and deal related expenses, and on an adjusted organic basis, which excludes the operating results of Reef ® and the Van Moer business (for the three and six months ending March 2018). These adjusted presentations are 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.
