NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

VF Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, collectively known as “VF” or the “Company”) uses a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. The Company's current fiscal year runs from April 4, 2021 through April 2, 2022 ("Fiscal 2022"). Accordingly, this Form 10-Q presents our second quarter of Fiscal 2022. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended September 2021 and September 2020 relate to the fiscal periods ended on October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively. References to March 2021 relate to information as of April 3, 2021.

On June 28, 2021, VF completed the sale of its Occupational Workwear business. The Occupational Workwear business was comprised primarily of the following brands and businesses: Red Kap®, VF Solutions®, Bulwark®, Workrite®, Walls®, Terra®, Kodiak®, Work Authority® and Horace Small®. The business also included the license of certain Dickies® occupational workwear products that have historically been sold through the business-to-business channel. The results of the Occupational Workwear business and the related cash flows have been reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively, through the date of sale. The related held-for-sale assets and liabilities have been reported as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, through the date of sale. These changes have been applied to all periods presented.

Unless otherwise noted, discussion within these notes to the interim consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. Refer to Note 5 for additional information on discontinued operations.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the Fiscal 2022 presentation.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Similarly, the March 2021 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of VF for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for Fiscal 2022. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in VF’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 3, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K”).

In preparing the interim consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The duration and severity of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, which is subject to uncertainty, continues to impact VF's business. Management's estimates and assumptions have contemplated both current and expected impacts related to COVID-19 based on available information. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 — RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes", an update that amends and simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions in existing guidance and providing new guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas. The guidance became effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, but did not have a material impact on VF's consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020 and January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" and ASU No. 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope", respectively. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The optional guidance is provided to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform. The guidance is effective and can be adopted no later than December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance would have on VF's consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

For the three and six months ended September 2021, the Company recognized $71.0 million and $162.0 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance during the periods, including amounts recorded as a contract liability and subsequently recognized as revenue as performance obligations were satisfied within the same period, such as order deposits from customers. The change in the contract asset and contract liability balances primarily results from the timing differences between the Company's satisfaction of performance obligations and the customer's payment.

Performance Obligations

As of September 2021, the Company expects to recognize $80.8 million of fixed consideration related to the future minimum guarantees in effect under its licensing agreements and expects such amounts to be recognized over time based on the

contractual terms through March 2031. The variable consideration related to licensing arrangements is not disclosed as a remaining performance obligation as it qualifies for the sales-based royalty exemption. VF has also elected the practical expedient to not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

As of September 2021, there were no arrangements with transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations other than contracts for which the Company has applied the practical expedients and the fixed consideration related to future minimum guarantees discussed above.

For the three and six months ended September 2021, revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in prior periods was not material.

NOTE 4 — ACQUISITION

On December 28, 2020, VF acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Supreme Holdings, Inc. ("Supreme") for $2.2 billion in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The transaction also included $0.2 billion of cash acquired by VF. The purchase price was primarily funded with cash on hand. During the three months ended September 2021, the purchase consideration was reduced by $3.8 million associated with the final working capital adjustment.

The acquisition of Supreme includes a contingent arrangement that may require additional cash consideration to be paid to the selling shareholders of Supreme ranging from zero to $300.0 million, subject to the achievement of certain financial targets over the one-year earn-out period ending January 31, 2022. The initial estimated fair value of the contingent consideration of $207.0 million is included in the purchase price and was reported in the other liabilities line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 2021. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on the probability-weighted present value of various future cash payment outcomes. In subsequent reporting periods, the

contingent consideration liability is remeasured at fair value with changes recognized in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 16 for additional information on fair value measurements.

Supreme was a privately-held company based in New York, New York and is a global streetwear leader that sells apparel, accessories and footwear under its namesake brand, Supreme®, through direct-to-consumer channels, including digital. The acquisition of Supreme accelerates VF's long-term growth strategy and builds on a long-standing relationship between Supreme and VF, with the Supreme® brand being a regular collaborator with VF's Vans®, The North Face® and Timberland® brands. The acquisition also provides VF with deeper access to attractive consumer segments and the ability to leverage VF's enterprise platforms and capabilities to enable sustainable long-term growth.

In connection with the acquisition, VF deposited in escrow 605,050 shares of VF Common Stock. The common shares are

13 VF Corporation Q2 FY22 Form 10-Q

Table of Contents

subject to certain future service requirements and vest over periods of up to four years. For accounting purposes, VF will recognize the stock-based compensation cost for the fair value of these awards of $51.7 million over the vesting periods.

For the three and six months ended September 2021, Supreme contributed revenues of $99.6 million and $245.3 million, respectively, and net income of $6.1 million and $32.4 million, respectively. The results of Supreme have been reported in the Active segment since the date of acquisition. Total transaction expenses for the Supreme acquisition were $8.7 million, all of which were recognized in the year ended March 2021 in the

selling, general and administrative expenses line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change, primarily for certain income tax matters. Accordingly, adjustments may be made to the values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the valuation date. Goodwill decreased by $4.3 million during the three months ended September 2021, primarily related to the final working capital adjustment.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the Supreme assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:


(In thousands)	December 28, 2020
Cash and equivalents	$	218,104
Accounts receivable	19,698
Inventories	44,937

Total liabilities assumed	467,382

Net assets acquired	1,184,509
Goodwill	1,245,986
Purchase price	$	2,430,495

The purchase price consisted of the following components:


(In thousands)	December 28, 2020
Cash consideration	$	2,223,495
Contingent consideration	207,000
Purchase price	$	2,430,495

The goodwill is attributable to our ability to expand the Supreme® brand into new markets, the acquired workforce and future collaboration opportunities for the Supreme® brand. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Active segment and will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The Supreme® trademark, which management believes to have an indefinite life, has been valued at $1.2 billion using the relief-from-royalty method, which is an income valuation approach. The relief-from-royalty method requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to, future revenues, growth rates, royalty rate, tax rates and discount rate.

These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying VF’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Supreme to reflect the fair value adjustments to intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and inventory. The results of Supreme have also been adjusted for historical interest expense as the acquired business was debt-free on the acquisition date. These changes have been applied from March 31, 2019, with related tax effects.

Pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of VF’s operating results if the acquisition had been effected at the date indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results. Amounts do not include any marketing leverage, or operating efficiencies that VF believes are achievable.

NOTE 5 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company continuously assesses the composition of its portfolio to ensure it is aligned with its strategic objectives and positioned to maximize growth and return to shareholders.

Occupational Workwear Business

On January 21, 2020, VF announced its decision to explore the divestiture of its Occupational Workwear business. The Occupational Workwear business was comprised primarily of the following brands and businesses: Red Kap®, VF Solutions®, Bulwark®, Workrite®, Walls®, Terra®, Kodiak®, Work Authority® and Horace Small®. The business also included the license of certain Dickies® occupational workwear products that have historically been sold through the business-to-business channel. As of March 28, 2020, the Occupational Workwear business met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of the Occupational Workwear business and the related cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively, through the date of sale. The related held-for-sale assets and liabilities have been reported as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, through the date of sale.

On June 28, 2021, VF completed the sale of the Occupational Workwear business. The Company received proceeds of $616.5 million, net of cash sold, resulting in an estimated after-tax gain on sale of $145.6 million, which is included in the income from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended September 2021, and is subject to working capital and other adjustments.

The results of the Occupational Workwear business were previously reported in the Work segment. The results of the Occupational Workwear business recorded in the income from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations were income of $170.3 million (including an estimated after-tax gain on sale of $145.6 million) for the six months ended September 2021, and income of $13.5 million and $5.6 million for the three and six months ended September 2020, respectively.

Under the terms of a transition services agreement, the Company will provide certain support services for periods generally up to 12 months from the closing date of the transaction.

NOTE 9 — LEASES

The Company leases certain retail locations, office space, distribution facilities, machinery and equipment, and vehicles. The substantial majority of these leases are operating leases. Total lease cost includes operating lease cost, variable lease cost, finance lease cost, short-term lease cost and impairment. Components of lease cost were as follows:

During the six months ended September 2021 and 2020, the Company paid $241.8 million and $176.1 million of cash for operating leases, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by the timing of payments and lease concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 in the six months ended September 2020. During the six months ended September 2021 and 2020, the Company obtained $123.1 million and $326.3 million of right-of-use assets in exchange for lease liabilities, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by the commencement of a new distribution center lease during the six months ended September 2020.

VF contributed $6.1 million to its defined benefit plans during the six months ended September 2021, and intends to make approximately $26.8 million of contributions during the remainder of Fiscal 2022.

VF recorded $0.1 million and $1.0 million in settlement charges in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, as well as $0.6 million for both the three and six months ended September 2020.

NOTE 11 — CAPITAL AND ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Common Stock

During the six months ended September 2021, the Company did not purchase shares of Common Stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase program authorized by VF’s Board of Directors. These are treated as treasury stock transactions when shares are repurchased.

Common Stock outstanding is net of shares held in treasury which are, in substance, retired. There were no shares held in treasury at the end of September 2021, March 2021 or September 2020. The excess of the cost of treasury shares acquired over the $0.25 per share stated value of Common Stock is deducted from retained earnings.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and specified components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”), which relate to changes in assets and liabilities that are not included in net income (loss) under GAAP but are instead deferred and accumulated within a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the balance sheet. VF’s comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The deferred components of OCI are reported, net of related income taxes, in accumulated OCI in stockholders’ equity, as follows:

NOTE 12 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Incentive Equity Awards Granted

During the six months ended September 2021, VF granted stock options to employees and nonemployee members of VF's Board of Directors to purchase 1,495,961 shares of its Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $77.79 per share. The exercise price of each option granted was equal to the fair market value of VF Common Stock on the date of grant. Employee stock options vest in equal annual installments over three years. Stock options granted to nonemployee members of VF's Board of Directors vest upon grant and become exercisable one year from the date of grant. All options have ten-year terms.

The grant date fair value of each option award was calculated using a lattice option-pricing valuation model, which incorporated a range of assumptions for inputs as follows:


						Six Months Ended September 2021
Expected volatility						28% to 41%
Weighted average expected volatility						36%
Expected term (in years)						6.2 to 7.9
Weighted average dividend yield						2.6%
Risk-free interest rate						0.04% to 1.56%
Weighted average fair value at date of grant						$20.20

During the six months ended September 2021, VF granted 323,718 performance-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees that enable them to receive shares of VF Common Stock at the end of a three-year performance cycle. The fair market value of VF Common Stock at the date the units were granted was $77.78 per share. Each performance-based RSU

has a potential final payout ranging from zero to two shares of VF Common Stock. The number of shares earned by participants, if any, is based on achievement of three-year financial targets set by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Shares will be issued to participants in the year following the conclusion of the three-year performance

VF Corporation Q2 FY22 Form 10-Q 20

period. The financial targets include 50% weighting based on VF's revenue growth over the three-year period compared to a group of industry peers and 50% weighting based on VF's total shareholder return ("TSR") over the three-year period compared to the TSR for companies included in the Standard & Poor's 500 Consumer Discretionary Index. The grant date fair value of the TSR portion of the performance-based RSU grants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that incorporates option-pricing model inputs, and was $101.56 per share. Additionally, the actual number of performance-based RSUs earned may be adjusted upward or downward by 25% of the target award, based on VF's gross margin performance over the three-year period.

During the six months ended September 2021, VF granted 12,023 nonperformance-based RSUs to nonemployee members of the Board of Directors. These units vest upon grant and will be settled in shares of VF Common Stock one year from the date of

grant. The fair market value of VF Common Stock at the date the units were granted was $77.78 per share.

In addition, VF granted 345,599 nonperformance-based RSUs to employees during the six months ended September 2021. These units generally vest over periods of up to four years from the date of grant and each unit entitles the holder to one share of VF Common Stock. The weighted average fair market value of VF Common Stock at the dates the units were granted was $78.55 per share.

VF also granted 31,214 restricted shares of VF Common Stock to certain members of management during the six months ended September 2021. These shares vest over periods of up to four years from the date of grant. The fair market value of VF Common Stock at the date the shares were granted was $77.78 per share.

NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended September 2021 was 13.1% compared to (78.9)% in the 2020 period. The six months ended September 2021 included a net discrete tax benefit of $0.2 million, which included a $3.4 million net tax expense related to unrecognized tax benefits and interest, a $1.4 million tax benefit related to stock compensation, and a $2.4 million net tax benefit related to tax rate change on deferred tax items. The $0.2 million net discrete tax benefit in the 2021 period had an insignificant impact on the effective income tax rate. The six months ended September 2020 included a net discrete tax expense of $3.9 million, which included a $2.0 million net tax expense related to unrecognized tax benefits and interest and a $1.8 million tax expense related to withholding taxes on prior foreign earnings. Excluding the $3.9 million net discrete tax expense in the 2020 period, the effective income tax rate would have been (58.9)%. Without discrete items, the effective income tax rate for the six months ended September 2021 increased by 72.0% compared with the 2020 period primarily due to losses generated in the prior year.

VF files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as separate and combined income tax returns in numerous state and international jurisdictions. In the U.S., the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examinations for tax years through 2015 have been effectively settled. The examination of Timberland’s 2011 tax return is ongoing.

In addition, VF is currently subject to examination by various state and international tax authorities. Management regularly assesses the potential outcomes of both ongoing and future examinations for the current and prior years and has concluded that VF’s provision for income taxes is adequate. The outcome of any one examination is not expected to have a material impact

on VF’s consolidated financial statements. Management believes that some of these audits and negotiations will conclude during the next 12 months.

VF was granted a ruling which lowered the effective income tax rate on taxable earnings for years 2010 through 2014 under Belgium’s excess profit tax regime. During 2015, the European Union Commission (“EU”) investigated and announced its decision that these rulings were illegal and ordered the tax benefits to be collected from affected companies, including VF. Requests for annulment were filed by Belgium and VF Europe BVBA individually. During 2017 and 2018, VF Europe BVBA was assessed and paid €35.0 million tax and interest, which was recorded as an income tax receivable based on the expected success of the requests for annulment. During 2019, the General Court annulled the EU decision and the EU subsequently appealed the General Court’s annulment. In September 2021, the General Court's judgment was set aside by the Court of Justice of the EU and the case was sent back to the General Court to determine whether the excess profit tax regime amounted to illegal State aid. The case remains open and unresolved. If this matter is adversely resolved, these amounts will not be collected by VF.

During the six months ended September 2021, the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest increased by $8.9 million to $199.1 million. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits and interest may decrease during the next 12 months by approximately $34.5 million related to the completion of examinations and other settlements with tax authorities and the expiration of statutes of limitations, of which $10.4 million would reduce income tax expense.

NOTE 14 — REPORTABLE SEGMENT INFORMATION

The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based on a global brand view which represents VF's operating segments. The operating segments have been evaluated and combined into reportable segments because they meet the similar economic characteristics and qualitative aggregation criteria set forth in the relevant accounting guidance.

The Company's reportable segments have been identified as: Outdoor, Active and Work. We have included an Other category in the table below for purposes of reconciliation of revenues and profit, but it is not considered a reportable segment. Other includes results primarily related to the sale of non-VF products and sourcing activities related to transition services.

In addition, 0.6 million shares of performance-based RSUs were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for both the three and six-month periods ended September 2021, and 0.8 million and 0.6 million shares of performance-based RSUs were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the three and six-month periods ended September 2020, respectively, because these units were not considered to be contingent outstanding shares in those periods.

NOTE 16 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. A financial instrument’s 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 VF’s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured and recorded in the consolidated financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis:

The following table presents the changes in fair value of the contingent consideration liability designated as Level 3:


(In thousands)	Three Months Ended September 2021		Six Months Ended September 2021
Beginning Balance	$	134,000	$	207,000

Change in fair value	(35,000)		(108,000)
Ending Balance	$	99,000	$	99,000

VF’s cash equivalents include money market funds and time deposits with maturities within three months of their purchase dates, that approximate fair value based on Level 1 measurements. The fair value of derivative financial instruments, which consist of foreign exchange forward contracts, is determined based on observable market inputs (Level 2), including spot and forward exchange rates for foreign currencies, and considers the credit risk of the Company and its counterparties. VF’s deferred compensation assets primarily represent investments held within plan trusts as an economic hedge of the related deferred compensation liabilities. These investments primarily include mutual funds (Level 1) that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. Liabilities related to VF’s deferred compensation plans are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of the participants’ selection of hypothetical investments. VF's short-term investments at March 2021 included excess cash invested in a managed income fund that approximated fair value based on Level 1 measurements.

The contingent consideration liability represents the estimated amount of additional cash consideration to be paid to the selling shareholders of Supreme, which is dependent upon the achievement of certain financial targets over the one-year earn-out period ending January 31, 2022. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability, which could range from

zero to $300.0 million, was $207.0 million as of March 2021. The contingent consideration liability is remeasured at fair value with changes recognized in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 2021, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability was remeasured to an estimated fair value of $99.0 million based on the probability-weighted present value of various future cash payment outcomes resulting from the estimated achievement levels of the financial targets. Refer to Note 4 for additional information on the acquisition of Supreme.

All other financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded in the consolidated financial statements at cost, except life insurance contracts which are recorded at cash surrender value. These other financial assets and financial liabilities include cash

held as demand deposits, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At September 2021 and March 2021, their carrying values approximated fair value. Additionally, at September 2021 and March 2021, the carrying values of VF’s long-term debt, including the current portion, were $5,683.8 million and $5,710.2 million, respectively, compared with fair values of $5,996.9 million and $6,017.3 million at those respective dates. Fair value for long-term debt is a Level 2 estimate based on quoted market prices or values of comparable borrowings.

NOTE 17 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Summary of Derivative Financial Instruments

All of VF’s outstanding derivative financial instruments are foreign exchange forward contracts. Although derivatives meet the criteria for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedging relationship, a limited number of derivative contracts intended to hedge assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The notional amounts of all outstanding

derivative contracts were $2.5 billion at September 2021, March 2021 and September 2020, consisting primarily of contracts hedging exposures to the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc, Mexican peso, Swedish krona, South Korean won, Polish zloty, Japanese yen and New Zealand dollar. Derivative contracts have maturities up to 20 months.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

VF uses derivative contracts to manage foreign currency exchange risk on third-party accounts receivable and payable, as well as intercompany borrowings. These contracts are not designated as hedges, and are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized directly in earnings. Gains or losses on these contracts largely offset the net transaction losses or gains on the related assets and liabilities. In the case of derivative contracts executed on foreign currency exposures that

are no longer probable of occurring, VF de-designates these hedges and the fair value changes of these instruments are also recognized directly in earnings.

The impact of de-designated derivative contracts and changes in the fair value of derivative contracts not designated as hedges, recognized as gains or losses in VF's Consolidated Statements of Operations were not material for the three and six months ended September 2021 and September 2020.

Other Derivative Information

At September 2021, accumulated OCI included $20.9 million of pre-tax net deferred losses for foreign currency exchange contracts that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The amounts ultimately reclassified to

25 VF Corporation Q2 FY22 Form 10-Q

Table of Contents

earnings will depend on exchange rates in effect when outstanding derivative contracts are settled.

Net Investment Hedge

The Company has designated its euro-denominated fixed-rate notes, which represent €1.850 billion in aggregate principal, as a net investment hedge of VF’s investment in certain foreign operations. Because this debt qualified as a nonderivative hedging instrument, foreign currency transaction gains or losses of the debt are deferred in the foreign currency translation and

other component of accumulated OCI as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on the hedged investments. During the three and six-month periods ended September 2021, the Company recognized an after-tax gain of $34.1 million and $22.6 million, respectively, in OCI related to the net investment hedge transaction, and an after-tax loss of $53.5 million and $71.6 million for the three and six-month periods ended September 2020, respectively. Any amounts deferred in accumulated OCI will remain until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

NOTE 18 — RESTRUCTURING

The Company incurs restructuring charges related to strategic initiatives and cost optimization of business activities, primarily related to severance and employee-related benefits. During the three and six months ended September 2021, VF recognized $3.5 million and $7.8 million, respectively, of restructuring charges, related to approved initiatives. Of the restructuring charges recognized in the three and six months ended September 2021, $3.4 million and $6.3 million were reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, and $0.1 million and $1.5 million in cost of goods sold, respectively.

The Company has not recognized any significant incremental costs related to accruals for the year ended March 2021 or prior periods.

Of the $43.3 million total restructuring accrual at September 2021, $43.0 million is expected to be paid out within the next 12 months and is classified within accrued liabilities. The remaining $0.3 million will be paid out beyond the next 12 months and thus is classified within other liabilities.

The components of the restructuring charges are as follows:

NOTE 19 — CONTINGENCIES

The Company petitioned the U.S. Tax Court to resolve an IRS dispute regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with the 2011 Timberland acquisition. The Company remains confident in our timing and treatment of the income inclusion, and therefore this matter is not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. We are vigorously defending our position, and do not expect the resolution to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. While the IRS argues immediate income inclusion, the Company's position is to include the income over a period of years. As the matter relates to 2011, nearly half of the timing at dispute has passed with the Company including the income, and paying the related tax, on our income tax returns. The Company

notes that should the IRS prevail in this timing matter, the net interest expense would be up to $191.4 million. Further, this timing matter is impacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. If the IRS is successful, this rate differential would increase tax expense by approximately $136.3 million.

The Company is currently involved in other legal proceedings that are ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the business. The resolution of any particular proceeding is not currently expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 20 — SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 19, 2021, VF’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share, payable on December 20, 2021 to stockholders of record on December 10, 2021.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS


Impact of COVID-19

As the global impact of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") continues, VF remains first and foremost focused on a people-first approach that prioritizes the health and well-being of its employees, customers, trade partners and consumers around the world. To help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and in response to health advisories and governmental actions and regulations, VF has modified its business practices including the temporary closing of offices and retail stores, instituting travel bans and restrictions and implementing health and safety measures including social distancing and quarantines. VF has also implemented measures that are designed to ensure the health, safety and well-being of associates employed in its distribution, fulfillment and manufacturing centers around the world.

At the beginning of the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, over 95% of VF-operated retail stores were open in North America, with all VF-owned retail stores reopened by the end of the first quarter. In the Europe region, approximately 60% of VF-operated retail stores were closed at the beginning of the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, with all stores reopened by the end of the first quarter. In the Asia-Pacific region, nearly all VF-operated retail stores were open at the beginning of the first quarter of Fiscal 2022; however, approximately 5% reclosed by the end of the first quarter. In comparison, at the beginning of the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, all VF-operated retail stores in North America and in the Europe region were closed. By the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, approximately 75% and 90% of VF-operated retail

stores were open in North America and the Europe region, respectively. In the Asia-Pacific region, approximately 5% of VF-owned retail stores were closed at the beginning of the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, with all opened by the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2021.

At the beginning of the second quarter of Fiscal 2022, all VF-operated retail stores in North America and in the Europe region were open and remained open during the quarter. In the Asia-Pacific region, approximately 5% of VF-operated retail stores were closed at the beginning of the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 with nearly all stores open at the end of the second quarter. In comparison, at the beginning of the second quarter of Fiscal 2021, approximately 75% of the VF-operated retail stores in North America were open, and over 95% were open at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2021. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2021, nearly all of the VF-operated retail stores in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions were open.

VF is continuing to monitor the COVID-19 outbreak globally and will comply with guidance from government entities and public health authorities to prioritize the health and well-being of its employees, customers, trade partners and consumers. As COVID-19 uncertainty continues, retail store reclosures may occur.

Consistent with VF’s long-term strategy, the Company’s digital platform remains a high priority through which its brands stay

connected with consumer communities while providing experiential content. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, consumer spending had started shifting to brand e-commerce sites and other digital platforms, which accelerated due to changes in the retail landscape resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 has also impacted some of VF's suppliers, including third-party manufacturers, logistics providers and other vendors. At this time, the majority of VF's supply chain is operational. Suppliers are complying with local health advisories and governmental restrictions which has resulted in product delays. The resurgence of COVID-19 lockdowns in key sourcing countries has resulted in additional manufacturing capacity constraints during Fiscal 2022. Additionally, Fiscal 2022 has been impacted by continued port congestion, lengthened transit

times, equipment availability and other logistics challenges. These issues have caused significant product delays, which has resulted in challenges to timely meet customer demand in Fiscal 2022. VF is working with its suppliers to minimize disruption and is employing expedited freight as needed. VF's distribution centers are operational in accordance with local government guidelines while maintaining enhanced health and safety protocols.

The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and dynamic in nature, and has driven global uncertainty and disruption. While we are not able to determine the ultimate length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect ongoing disruption to our business.


Enterprise Protection Strategy

VF has taken a number of actions to advance its Enterprise Protection Strategy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At September 2021, VF had approximately $1.4 billion of cash and equivalents. Additionally, VF had approximately $2.2 billion available for borrowing against its Global Credit Facility, subject to certain restrictions including a $750.0 million minimum liquidity requirement.

Actions VF has taken to support its business in response to the COVID-19 pandemic included the Company's decision to temporarily pause its share repurchase program on April 7, 2020. The Company recently decided to reinstate the program and currently has $2.8 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization. The Company paid cash dividends of $0.49 per share and $0.98 per share during the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, and has declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per share that is payable in the third quarter of Fiscal 2022. Subject to approval by its Board of Directors, VF intends to continue to pay its regularly scheduled dividend.

The Company has also commenced a multi-year initiative designed to enable our ability to accelerate and advance VF's business model transformation. One of the key objectives of this initiative is to deliver global cost savings over a three-year period that will be used to support the transformation agenda and highest-priority growth drivers. As VF continues to actively monitor the situation and advance our business model transformation, we may take further actions that affect our operations.

We believe the Company has sufficient liquidity and flexibility to operate and continue to execute our strategy during the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental actions and regulations and health authority advisories, and meet its obligations as they become due. However, due to the uncertainty of the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental actions in response to the pandemic, and the impact on us and our consumers, customers and suppliers, there is no certainty that the measures we take will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by COVID-19. See Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K for additional discussion.


HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2022

•Revenues were up 23% to $3.2 billion compared to the three months ended September 2020, driven by recovery from the negative impact of COVID-19 on the the prior year period, and included a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency and a 4% contribution from the Supreme acquisition.

•Gross margin increased 290 basis points to 53.7% compared to the three months ended September 2020, primarily driven by reduced promotional activity.

•Earnings per share was $1.18 compared to $0.62 in the 2020 period. The increase was primarily driven by recovery from the negative impact of COVID-19 on the prior year period.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Consolidated Statements of Operations

The following table presents a summary of the changes in net revenues for the three and six months ended September 2021 from the comparable periods in 2020:


(In millions)	Three Months Ended September		Six Months Ended September
Net revenues — 2020	$	2,608.3	$	3,684.6
Organic	442.7		1,332.2
Acquisition	99.6		245.3

Impact of foreign currency	47.6		130.7
Net revenues — 2021	$	3,198.2	$	5,392.8

VF reported a 23% and 46% increase in revenues for the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, compared to the 2020 periods. The revenue increase in both periods was driven by recovery from the negative impact of COVID-19 on demand and distribution channels in the prior year periods, which included temporary closures of VF-operated retail and VF's wholesale customer stores. These growth rates have been negatively impacted in the current year by supply chain disruption, including port delays, lengthened transit times, logistics challenges and supplier production issues. The increase in the three and six months ended September 2021 also included a 2% and 3% favorable impact from foreign currency, respectively, and a $99.6 million (4%) and $245.3 million (6%) contribution from the Supreme acquisition, respectively.

Revenues increased across all regions in the three and six months ended September 2021. The largest increases were in the United States, Europe and Americas (non-U.S.) regions,

which experienced the most significant negative impact of COVID-19 in the prior year periods.

Revenues increased in both our wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels in the three and six months ended September 2021. The overall increase in the direct-to-consumer channel was driven by reopenings of our owned retail stores, which had temporary closures in the prior year periods due to COVID-19, and the contribution from the Supreme acquisition during the three and six months ended September 2021. The overall increase in the wholesale channel also reflects recovery from the negative impact of COVID-19 on the prior year periods; however, VF's wholesale business continues to be impacted by the timing of shipments due to supply chain disruption.

Additional details on revenues are provided in the section titled “Information by Reportable Segment.”

The following table presents the percentage relationships to net revenues for components of the Consolidated Statements of Operations:


	Three Months Ended September				Six Months Ended September

	2021		2020		2021		2020
Gross margin (net revenues less cost of goods sold)	53.7	%	50.8	%	54.8	%	51.4	%
Selling, general and administrative expenses	36.2		38.5		40.7		49.4

Operating margin	17.5	%	12.3	%	14.1	%	2.0	%

Gross margin increased 290 and 340 basis points in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, compared to the 2020 periods. The increase in both periods was primarily driven by higher levels of full-price sales as increased promotional activity was used to clear elevated inventory levels in the prior year periods, primarily due to the negative impact of COVID-19. The increase in gross margin in both periods was partially offset by expedited freight costs, which were a direct result of the supply chain disruption.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased during both the three and six months ended September 2021 compared to the 2020 periods, primarily reflecting leverage of operating expenses due to increased revenues compared to the prior year periods, which were negatively impacted by COVID-19. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $154.3 million and $374.3 million in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, compared to the 2020 periods, primarily due to cost controls taken in the prior year periods in response to COVID-19

and payroll relief in the prior year periods from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and other governmental packages. The Company recognized $17.3 million and $67.7 million during the three and six months ended September 2020, respectively, as a result of relief from the CARES Act and other governmental packages. The increase in both periods was also due to continued investments in direct-to-consumer and digital strategic growth initiatives, advertising expenses and higher distribution spending. The increases in the three and six months ended September 2021 were partially offset by a $35.0 million and $108.0 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the Supreme acquisition, which were recognized in the selling, general and administrative expense line item during the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively.

Net interest expense increased $3.4 million and $8.3 million during the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, compared to the 2020 periods. The increase in net

VF Corporation Q2 FY22 Form 10-Q 30

Table of Contents

interest expense in both the three and six months ended September 2021 was primarily due to additional borrowings of long-term debt, lower invested balances and lower investment interest rates. Total outstanding debt averaged $5.9 billion in the six months ended September 2021 and $5.5 billion in the same period in 2020, with weighted average interest rates of 2.1% for both periods.

Other income (expense), net increased $2.9 million and decreased $50.1 million during the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, compared to the 2020 periods. The increase in the three months ended September 2021 was primarily due to lower pension benefit costs (excluding service costs). The decrease in the six months ended September 2021 was primarily due to a $42.4 million expense recorded in the three months ended June 2020 related to the release of currency translation amounts associated with the substantial liquidation of foreign entities in certain countries in South America.

and a $2.4 million net tax benefit related to tax rate change on deferred tax items. The $0.2 million net discrete tax benefit in the 2021 period had an insignificant impact on the effective income tax rate. The six months ended September 2020 included a net discrete tax expense of $3.9 million, which included $2.0 million net tax expense related to the unrecognized tax benefits and interest and a $1.8 million tax expense related to withholding taxes on prior foreign earnings. Excluding the $3.9 million net discrete tax expense in the 2020 period, the effective income tax rate would have been (58.9)%. Without discrete items, the effective income tax rate for the six months ended September 2021 increased by 72.0% compared with the 2020 period primarily due to losses generated in the prior year.

As a result of the above, income from continuing operations in the three months ended September 2021 was $464.1 million ($1.18 per diluted share) compared to $243.2 million ($0.62 per diluted share) in the 2020 period, and income (loss) from continuing operations in the six months ended September 2021 was $618.0 million ($1.57 per diluted share) compared to $(34.5) million ($(0.09) per diluted share) in the 2020 period. Refer to additional discussion in the “Information by Reportable Segment” section below.


Information by Reportable Segment

VF's reportable segments are: Outdoor, Active and Work. We have included an Other category in the tables below for purposes of reconciliation of revenues and profit, but it is not considered a reportable segment. Included in this Other category are results primarily related to the sale of non-VF products and sourcing activities related to transition services.

Refer to Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for a summary of results of operations by segment, along with a reconciliation of segment profit to income before income taxes.

Global revenues for Outdoor increased 31% in the three months ended September 2021 compared to 2020, including a 3% favorable impact due to foreign currency.

Global revenues for The North Face® brand increased 31% and 45% in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, compared to the 2020 periods. This includes a 2% and 4% favorable impact from foreign currency in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. The increases in all regions during the three and six months ended September 2021, were driven by recovery from the negative impact of COVID-19 on demand and distribution channels in the the prior year periods. The overall growth was led by the Europe region, which increased 44% and 67% in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, including a 4% and 8% favorable impact from foreign currency, respectively.

Global revenues for the Timberland® brand increased 29% and 36% in the three and six months ended September 2021,

respectively, compared to the 2020 periods, including a 2% and 3% favorable impact from foreign currency in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. The increase in both periods was driven by recovery from the negative impact on demand and distribution channels in the prior year periods. The overall growth was led by an increase of 63% and 74% in the United States in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. The increase in the six months ended September 2021 was partially offset by a 2% decrease in the Asia-Pacific region, including a 5% favorable impact from foreign currency.

Global wholesale revenues increased 38% and 49% in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, compared to the 2020 periods, including a 3% favorable impact from foreign currency in both the three and six months ended September 2021. The increases reflect recovery from the negative impact of COVID-19 on the prior year periods and strong underlying demand during the current year, which was negatively impacted by the timing of shipments due to supply chain disruption.

Operating margin increased in the three and six months ended September 2021 compared to the 2020 periods primarily due to leverage of operating expenses on increased revenues and reduced promotional activity compared to the prior year periods, which were negatively impacted by COVID-19. The increase in both periods was partially offset by continued investments in digital strategic growth initiatives. The prior year periods also included cost controls taken in response to COVID-19 and payroll relief from the CARES Act and other governmental packages.

Operating margin decreased in the three months ended September 2021 compared to the 2020 period and increased in the six months ended September 2021. The decrease in the three months ended September 2021 was primarily due to expedited freight costs and continued investments in digital strategic growth initiatives, partially offset by leverage of operating expenses on increased revenues and less promotional activity compared to the prior year period, which was negatively impacted by COVID-19.

The Work segment includes the following brands: Dickies® and Timberland PRO®.

Global Work revenues increased 18% in the three months ended September 2021 compared to the 2020 period, including a 1% favorable impact from foreign currency. The increase in revenues during the period was attributed to overall growth in both the Dickies® and Timberland PRO® brands. Revenues in the United States increased 30%. Revenues in the Europe region decreased 18%, including a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency. Revenues in the Asia-Pacific region increased 10%, including a 5% favorable impact from foreign currency.

Global Work revenues increased 38% in the six months ended September 2021 compared to the 2020 period, including a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency. The increase in revenues during the period was attributed to overall growth in both the Dickies® and Timberland PRO® brands driven by recovery from the negative impact of COVID-19 on demand in the the prior year period.

Revenues in the Asia-Pacific region increased 9%, including a 6% favorable impact from foreign currency.

The growth in the three and six months ended September 2021 was led by an increase of 36% and 59% in the United States, driven by growth in the wholesale channel and in work-inspired lifestyle products.

Operating margin increased in the three and six months ended September 2021 compared to the 2020 periods. The increase in the three and six months ended September 2021 was primarily due to leverage of operating expenses on increased revenues compared to the prior year periods, which were negatively impacted by COVID-19. The increase in both periods was also due to lower cost optimization activity and other charges indirectly related to the strategic review of the Occupational Workwear business in the prior year and other operating efficiency gains. The increase in both periods was partially offset by continued investments in digital strategic growth initiatives. The prior year periods also included cost controls taken in response to COVID-19 and payroll relief from the CARES Act and other governmental packages.


Reconciliation of Segment Profit (Loss) to Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes

There are two types of costs necessary to reconcile total segment profit (loss), as discussed in the preceding paragraphs, to consolidated income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. These costs are (i) corporate and other expenses, discussed below, and (ii) interest expense, net, which was discussed in the “Consolidated Statements of Operations” section.


	Three Months Ended September						Six Months Ended September

(Dollars in millions)	2021		2020		Percent Change		2021		2020		Percent Change

Corporate and other expenses	$	64.0	$	72.7	(11.9)	%	$	91.9	$	190.3	(51.7)	%
Interest expense, net	34.4		30.9		11.1	%	67.1		58.9		14.0	%

Corporate and other expenses are those that have not been allocated to the segments for internal management reporting, including (i) information systems and shared service costs, (ii) corporate headquarters costs, and (iii) certain other income and expenses. The decrease in the three and six months ended September 2021 was primarily attributed to a $35.0 million and $108.0 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the Supreme acquisition in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. The decrease was also due to lower charges associated with cost optimization and other activities indirectly

related to the strategic review of the Occupational Workwear business. In addition, the six months ended September 2020 included a $42.4 million expense related to the release of currency translation amounts associated with the substantial liquidation of foreign entities in certain countries in South America. The decrease in the three and six months ended September 2021 was partially offset by expenses associated with the integration of Supreme and costs related to a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations in the current year, and lower discretionary spending in the prior year due to cost controls in response to COVID-19.

Foreign currency had a favorable impact of 3% and 7% on international revenue in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. Revenues in Europe increased 19% and 43% in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, including a 2% and 6% favorable impact from foreign currency in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. In the Asia-Pacific region, revenues increased 13% and 21% in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. Foreign currency had a favorable impact of

5% and 7% on Asia-Pacific revenue in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively.

Direct-to-consumer revenues increased 32% and 57% in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, compared to the 2020 periods, including a 1% and 4% favorable impact from foreign currency in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. The three and six months ended September 2021 included an 11% and 17% contribution from the Supreme acquisition, respectively. The increase in direct-to-consumer revenues was primarily due to the reopening of VF-operated retail stores, which had significant temporary closures in the prior year periods due to COVID-19. Our e-commerce business grew 24% and 25% in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, including a 2% and 4% favorable impact from foreign currency in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. The three and six months ended September 2021 included a 19% and 25% contribution from the Supreme acquisition, respectively. Excluding the Supreme acquisition, e-commerce revenues increased 5% and were flat in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively,

including a 2% and 3% favorable impact from foreign currency in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. The deceleration of e-commerce growth was primarily due to the reopening of VF-operated retail and wholesale customer stores, which had significant temporary closures in the prior year periods due to COVID-19, as consumer spending shifted to VF's brand e-commerce sites and other digital platforms during the temporary store closures. Consistent with VF’s long-term strategy, the Company’s digital platform remains a high priority and e-commerce revenues in the three and six months ended September 2021 remain well above levels in periods prior to COVID-19. There were 1,358 VF-owned retail stores at September 2021 compared to 1,382 at September 2020. Direct-to-consumer revenues were 37% and 35% of total revenues in the three-month periods ended September 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 42% and 39% of total revenues in the six-month periods ended September 2021 and 2020, respectively.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION


Consolidated Balance Sheets

The following discussion refers to significant changes in balances at September 2021 compared to March 2021:

•Increase in accounts receivable — primarily due to the seasonality of the business and increased wholesale shipments.

•Increase in inventories — primarily due to the seasonality of the business.

•Decrease in short-term investments — due to the sale of short-term investments.

•Increase in the current portion of long-term debt — due to the reclassification of $1.0 billion of long-term notes due in April 2022.

•Increase in accrued liabilities — primarily due to the reclassification of the contingent consideration liability associated with the Supreme acquisition from other liabilities, an increase in accrued income taxes and higher accruals for freight.

•Decrease in long-term debt — due to the reclassification of $1.0 billion of long-term notes due in April 2022.

•Decrease in other liabilities — primarily due to lower deferred income taxes and the reclassification of the contingent consideration liability associated with the Supreme acquisition to accrued liabilities.

The following discussion refers to significant changes in balances at September 2021 compared to September 2020:

•Increase in accounts receivable — primarily due to higher wholesale shipments driven by recovery from the negative impact of COVID-19 on the prior year period.

•Decrease in short-term investments — due to the sale and maturity of short-term investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We consider the following to be measures of our liquidity and capital resources:


	September	March	September
(Dollars in millions)	2021	2021	2020
Working capital	$1,585.5	$2,113.1	$4,157.4
Current ratio	1.5 to 1	2.0 to 1	3.1 to 1
Net debt to total capital	62.0%	68.2%	64.5%

The decrease in the current ratio at September 2021 compared to both March 2021 and September 2020 was primarily due to a net increase in current liabilities driven by a higher current portion of long-term debt, as discussed in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets" section above. The decrease in the current ratio at September 2021 compared to both March 2021 and September 2020 was partially offset by the cash proceeds from the sale of the Occupational Workwear business during the six months ended September 2021, as discussed in the "Cash Provided (Used) by Investing Activities" section below. The decrease in the current ratio at September 2021 compared to September 2020 was also due to a net decrease in current assets driven by lower cash balances due to the timing of proceeds from long-term debt during the six months ended September 2020, as discussed in the "Cash Provided (Used) by Financing Activities" section below.

For the ratio of net debt to total capital, net debt is defined as short-term and long-term borrowings, in addition to operating lease liabilities, net of unrestricted cash. Total capital is defined as net debt plus stockholders’ equity. The decrease in the net debt to total capital ratio at September 2021 compared to March 2021 was primarily driven by a decrease in net debt due to higher cash balances at September 2021 and an increase in stockholders' equity. The decrease in the net debt to total capital ratio at September 2021 compared to September 2020 was primarily driven by an increase in stockholders' equity, partially offset by an increase in net debt due to lower cash balances at September 2021. The increase in stockholders' equity for both comparisons was driven by net income in the respective periods, partially offset by payments of dividends.

VF’s primary source of liquidity is its expected annual cash flow from operating activities. Cash from operations is typically lower in the first half of the calendar year as inventory builds to support peak sales periods in the second half of the calendar

VF Corporation Q2 FY22 Form 10-Q 38

Table of Contents

year. Cash provided by operating activities in the second half of the calendar year is substantially higher as inventories are sold and accounts receivable are collected. Additionally, direct-to-consumer sales are highest in the fourth quarter of the calendar

year. VF's additional sources of liquidity include available borrowing capacity against its Global Credit Facility, available cash balances and international lines of credit.

In summary, our cash flows from continuing operations were as follows:


	Six Months Ended September

(In thousands)	2021		2020
Cash provided (used) by operating activities	$	(177,227)	$	39,510
Cash provided (used) by investing activities	1,052,885		(954,685)
Cash provided (used) by financing activities	(359,853)		1,377,458

Cash Provided (Used) by Operating Activities

Cash flows related to operating activities are dependent on net income (loss), adjustments to net income (loss) and changes in working capital. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended September 2021 compared to September 2020 is primarily due to a decrease in net cash provided by working capital, partially offset by higher earnings for the periods compared.

Cash Provided (Used) by Investing Activities

The decrease in cash used by investing activities in the six months ended September 2021 was primarily due to $616.5 million of net proceeds from the sale of the Occupational Workwear business and $598.8 million of proceeds from the sale of short-term investments in the six months ended September 2021, compared to purchases of short-term investments of $800.0 million in the six months ended September 2020. Capital expenditures increased $32.1 million and software purchases increased $3.8 million in the six months ended September 2021 compared to the 2020 period.

Cash Provided (Used) by Financing Activities

The decrease in cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended September 2021 was primarily due to the net proceeds from long-term debt issuance of $3.0 billion fixed-rate notes in the six months ended September 2020, which was partially offset by a $1.2 billion net decrease in short-term borrowings.

Share Repurchases

VF did not purchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market during the six months ended September 2021 or the six months ended September 2020 under the share repurchase program authorized by VF's Board of Directors.

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak and to preserve financial liquidity, VF made the decision to temporarily pause its share repurchase program on April 7, 2020. The Company recently decided to reinstate the program and as of the end of September 2021 had $2.8 billion remaining for future repurchases under its share repurchase authorization. VF will continue to evaluate its use of capital, giving first priority to business acquisitions then to direct shareholder return in the form of dividends and share repurchases, and enterprise protection.

Revolving Credit Facility and Short-term Borrowings

VF relies on its ability to generate cash flows to finance its ongoing operations. In addition, VF has significant liquidity from its available cash balances and credit facilities. VF maintains a $2.25 billion senior unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Global Credit Facility”) that expires December 2023. VF may request an unlimited number of one year extensions so long as each extension does not cause the remaining life of the Global Credit Facility to exceed five years, subject to stated terms and conditions. The Global Credit Facility may be used to borrow funds in both U.S. dollar and certain non-U.S. dollar currencies, and has a $50.0 million letter of credit sublimit. In addition, the Global Credit Facility supports VF’s U.S. commercial paper program for short-term, seasonal working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and share repurchases. Outstanding short-term balances may vary from period to period depending on the level of corporate requirements.

VF has restrictive covenants on its Global Credit Facility, including a consolidated indebtedness to consolidated capitalization financial ratio covenant of 70%. The calculation of consolidated indebtedness is net of unrestricted cash. As of September 2021, the covenant calculation includes cash and equivalents and excludes consolidated operating lease liabilities. In addition, VF and its subsidiaries are required to maintain minimum liquidity in the form of unrestricted cash and unused financing commitments of not less than $750.0 million. As of September 2021, VF was in compliance with all covenants.

VF has a commercial paper program that allows for borrowings of up to $2.25 billion to the extent that it has borrowing capacity under the Global Credit Facility. There were no commercial paper borrowings as of September 2021. Standby letters of credit issued as of September 2021 were $24.2 million, leaving approximately $2.2 billion available for borrowing against the Global Credit Facility at September 2021. Additionally, VF had approximately $1.4 billion of cash and equivalents at September 2021.

VF has $62.0 million of international lines of credit with various banks, which are uncommitted and may be terminated at any time by either VF or the banks. Total outstanding balances under these arrangements were $10.2 million at September 2021.

Rating Agencies

VF’s favorable credit agency ratings allow for access to additional liquidity at competitive rates. At the end of September 2021, VF’s long-term debt ratings were ‘A-’ by Standard & Poor’s

39 VF Corporation Q2 FY22 Form 10-Q

Table of Contents

Global Ratings and ‘Baa1’ by Moody’s Investors Service, and commercial paper ratings by those rating agencies were ‘A-2’ and ‘P-2’, respectively.

None of VF’s long-term debt agreements contain acceleration of maturity clauses based solely on changes in credit ratings. However, if there were a change in control of VF, and as a result of the change in control the notes were rated below investment grade by recognized rating agencies, then VF would be obligated to repurchase the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if required by the respective holders of the notes. The change of control provision applies to all notes, except for the 2033 notes.

Dividends

The Company paid cash dividends of $0.49 per share and $0.98 per share during the three and six months ended September 2021, and the Company has declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per share that is payable in the third quarter of Fiscal 2022. Subject to approval by its Board of Directors, VF intends to continue to pay its regularly scheduled dividend.

Contractual Obligations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K provided a table summarizing VF’s material contractual obligations and commercial commitments at the end of Fiscal 2021 that would require the use of funds. As of September 2021, there have been no material changes in the amounts disclosed in the Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K, except as noted below:

•Inventory purchase obligations increased by approximately $670.0 million at the end of September 2021 primarily due to the seasonality of VF's business.

There continues to be uncertainty about the duration and extent of the impact of COVID-19. However, management believes that VF has sufficient liquidity and flexibility to operate during and after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental actions and regulations and health authority advisories, and meet its current and long-term obligations as they become due.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 to VF’s consolidated financial statements for information on recently adopted and issued accounting standards.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management has chosen accounting policies it considers to be appropriate to accurately and fairly report VF’s operating results and financial position in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our critical accounting policies are applied in a consistent manner. Significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K.

The application of these accounting policies requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, 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, and may retain outside consultants to assist in the evaluation. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations in the period in which the actual amounts become known.

The accounting policies that involve the most significant estimates, assumptions and management judgments used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K. Except as disclosed in Note 2 to VF's consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes in VF's accounting policies.


Cautionary Statement on Forward-looking Statements

From time to time, VF may make oral or written statements, including statements in this quarterly report, that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements concerning plans, objectives, projections and expectations relating to VF’s operations or economic performance and assumptions related thereto. Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting VF and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of VF to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: risks arising from the

widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis, including the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic; the level of consumer demand for apparel, footwear and accessories; disruption to VF’s distribution system; the financial strength of VF’s customers; fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials and contracted products; disruption and volatility in the global capital and credit markets; VF’s response to changing fashion trends, evolving consumer preferences and changing patterns of consumer behavior; intense competition from online retailers and other direct-to-consumer business risks; manufacturing and product innovation; increasing pressure on margins; VF’s ability to implement its business strategy; VF’s ability to grow its international, direct-to-consumer and digital businesses; VF's ability to transform its model to be more consumer-minded, retail-centric and hyper-digital; retail industry changes and challenges; VF's ability to create and maintain an agile and efficient operating model and organizational structure; VF’s and its vendors’ ability to maintain

business resiliency in response to natural or man-made economic, political or environmental disruptions; changes in tax laws and liabilities; legal, regulatory, political and economic risks and changes to laws and regulations; adverse or unexpected weather conditions; VF's indebtedness and its ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, if needed, could prevent VF from fulfilling its financial obligations; climate change and increased focus on sustainability issues; and risks associated with the spin-off of our Jeanswear business completed on May 22, 2019, including the risk that VF will not realize all of the expected benefits of the spin-off; the risk that the spin-off will not be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and the risk that there will be a loss of synergies from separating the businesses that could negatively impact the balance sheet, profit margins or earnings of VF. More information on potential factors that could affect VF’s financial results is included from time to time in VF’s public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including VF’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.


ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded as of the Evaluation Date that such controls and procedures were effective.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Information on VF’s legal proceedings is set forth under Part I, "Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in the Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the legal proceedings from those described in the Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K.

SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental regulations if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. Pursuant to SEC regulations, VF uses a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. VF believes that this threshold is reasonably designed to result in disclosure of any such proceedings that are material to VF’s business or financial condition. Applying this threshold, there are no such proceedings to disclose for this period.


ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS.

You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth under Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in the Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors identified in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K.
