NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Fiscal Year

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 2, 2023 through March 30, 2024 ("Fiscal 2024"). Accordingly, this Form 10-Q presents our third quarter of Fiscal 2024. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended December 2023 and December 2022 relate to the fiscal periods ended on December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. References to March 2023 relate to information as of April 1, 2023.

Basis of 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 2023 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 nine months ended December 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for Fiscal 2024. 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 1, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K”).

Recent Development

Reinvent

On October 30, 2023, VF introduced Reinvent, a transformation program to enhance focus on brand-building and to improve operating performance and allow VF to achieve its full potential. The first announced steps in this transformation cover the following priorities: improve North America results, deliver the Vans® turnaround, reduce costs and strengthen the balance sheet. Refer to Note 18 for additional information on the program.

Use of Estimates

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. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 — RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2020, January 2021 and December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting", ASU No. 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope" and ASU No. 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848", 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 guidance is provided to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company amended the terms of its $2.25 billion senior unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Global Credit Facility”), which replaced the LIBOR benchmark interest rate with a benchmark interest rate based on the forward-looking secured overnight financing rate ("Term SOFR"). This guidance was adopted in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, but did not impact VF's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, "Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations". This guidance requires companies with supplier finance programs to disclose sufficient qualitative and quantitative information about the program to allow a user of the financial statements to understand the nature of, activity in, and potential magnitude of the program. The guidance became effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, except for the rollforward information that will be effective for annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2025 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the required guidance in the first quarter of

Fiscal 2024 and is evaluating the impact of adopting the guidance related to the rollforward information. Refer to Note 9 for disclosures related to the Company’s supply chain financing program.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the individual or group identified as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The guidance also requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and how reported measures of segment profit or loss are used to assess performance and allocate resources. The guidance will be effective for annual disclosures beginning in Fiscal 2025, and has expanded requirements to include all annual disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets in subsequent interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF's disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The rate reconciliation disclosures will require specific categories and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The income taxes paid disclosures

will require disaggregation by individual jurisdictions that are greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. The guidance will be effective for annual disclosures beginning in Fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are required to be

applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF's disclosures.

NOTE 3 — REVENUES

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities:


(In thousands)	December 2023		March 2023		December 2022
Contract assets (a)	$	1,877	$	2,294	$	1,273
Contract liabilities (b)	67,103		62,214		80,456

(a)Included in the other current assets line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(b)Included in the accrued liabilities line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the three and nine months ended December 2023, the Company recognized $59.9 million and $187.1 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 December 2023, the Company expects to recognize $84.6 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 December 2023, 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 nine months ended December 2023, revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in prior periods was not material.

NOTE 11 — CAPITAL AND ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Common Stock

During the nine months ended December 2023, 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 December 2023, March 2023 or December 2022. 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 Loss

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and specified components of other comprehensive income (loss), 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 other comprehensive income (loss) are reported, net of related income taxes, in accumulated OCL in stockholders’ equity, as follows:

NOTE 12 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Incentive Equity Awards Granted

During the nine months ended December 2023, VF granted stock options to employees and nonemployee members of VF's Board of Directors to purchase 5,837,052 shares of its Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $18.12 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 typically vest and become exercisable 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:


						Nine Months Ended December 2023
Expected volatility						33% to 52%
Weighted average expected volatility						42%
Expected term (in years)						5.9 to 7.8
Weighted average dividend yield						3.8%
Risk-free interest rate						3.80% to 5.50%
Weighted average fair value at date of grant						$5.73

During the nine months ended December 2023, VF granted 709,338 performance-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") to executives that enable them to receive shares of VF Common Stock at the end of a three-year performance cycle. The weighted average fair market value of VF Common Stock at the dates the units were granted was $18.29 per share. Each performance-based RSU has a potential final payout ranging from zero to two and one-quarter shares of VF Common Stock. The number of shares earned by participants, if any, is based on achievement of three-year financial and relative total shareholder return 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 period. The financial targets include 50% weighting based on VF's revenue growth and 50% weighting based on VF's gross margin performance over the three-year period compared to financial targets. Furthermore, the actual number of shares earned may be adjusted upward or downward by 25% of the target award, based on how VF's total shareholder return ("TSR") over the three-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in the Standard & Poor's 500 Consumer

Discretionary Index, resulting in a maximum payout of 225% of the target award. The grant date fair value of the TSR-based adjustment related to the performance-based RSU grants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that incorporates option-pricing model inputs, and was $0.35 per share.

During the nine months ended December 2023, VF granted 50,883 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 weighted average fair market value of VF Common Stock at the dates the units were granted was $17.88 per share.

In addition, VF granted 3,354,593 nonperformance-based RSUs to employees during the nine months ended December 2023. These units generally vest over periods 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 $17.18 per share.

NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 2023 was 412.9% compared to (28.6)% in the 2022 period. The nine months ended December 2023 included a net discrete tax expense of $693.6 million, primarily related to the tax effects of decisions in the Timberland tax case and Belgium excess profits ruling, which are discussed further below. Excluding the $693.6 million net discrete tax expense in the 2023 period, the effective income tax rate would have been 18.7%. The nine months ended December 2022 included a net discrete tax benefit of $98.8 million, which primarily related to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examinations for tax year 2017 and short-tax year 2018 resulting in a $94.9 million favorable adjustment to VF's transition tax liability under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Excluding the $98.8 million net discrete tax benefit in the 2022 period, the effective income tax rate would have been 9.5%. Without discrete items, the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 2023 increased by 9.2% compared with the 2022 period primarily due to the jurisdictional mix of earnings and losses.

As previously reported, VF petitioned the U.S. Tax Court (the “Tax Court”) to resolve an IRS dispute regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with VF’s acquisition of The Timberland Company in September 2011. While the IRS argued that all such income should have been immediately included in 2011, VF reported periodic income inclusions in subsequent tax years. In Fiscal 2023, the Tax Court issued its final decision in favor of the IRS, which was appealed by VF. On October 19, 2022, VF paid $875.7 million related to the 2011 taxes and interest being disputed, which was recorded as an income tax receivable and began to accrue interest income. These amounts were included in the other assets line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheet, based on our assessment of the position under the more-likely-than-not standard of the accounting literature. On September 8, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit (“Appeals Court”) upheld the Tax Court’s decision in favor of the IRS. As a result of the Appeals Court decision, VF determined that its position no longer met the more-likely-than-not threshold, and thus wrote off the related income tax receivable and associated interest and recorded $690.0 million of income tax expense in

17 VF Corporation Q3 FY24 Form 10-Q

Table of Contents

the second quarter of Fiscal 2024. This amount includes the reversal of $19.6 million of interest income, of which $7.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. This amount reflects the total estimated net impact to VF’s tax expense, which includes the expected reduction in taxes paid on the periodic inclusions that VF has reported, release of related deferred tax liabilities, and consideration of indirect tax effects resulting from the decision. The estimated impact is subject to future adjustments based on finalization with tax authorities.

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. During 2017 and 2018, VF Europe BVBA was assessed and paid €35.0 million in tax and interest, which was recorded as an income tax receivable and was included in the other current assets line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the expected success of the requests for annulment. After subsequent annulments and appeals, the General Court confirmed the decision of the EU on September 20, 2023. As a result, VF wrote off the related income tax receivable and recorded a benefit for the associated foreign tax credit, resulting in $26.1 million of net income tax expense in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024.

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 IRS examinations for tax years through 2015 have been effectively settled.

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.

During the nine months ended December 2023, the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest increased by $0.9 million to $298.5 million, which includes a net reduction of $183.0 million due to settlement with the tax authorities related to intellectual property transfers completed in a prior period and a net increase of $192.5 million due to uncertainty in the application of court decisions upheld upon appeal, which were recorded in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024. 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 $29.4 million due to settlement of audits and expiration of statutes of limitations, of which $25.7 million would reduce income tax expense.

NOTE 14 — REPORTABLE SEGMENT INFORMATION

The CODM 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 primarily includes sourcing activities related to transition services.

Financial information for VF's reportable segments is as follows:

In the three and nine-month periods ended December 2023, the dilutive impacts of outstanding stock options and other dilutive securities were excluded from dilutive shares as a result of the Company's net loss for the periods and, as such, their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, a total of 19.2 million and 19.0 million potentially dilutive shares related to stock options and other dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations for the three and nine-month periods ended December 2023, respectively.

Outstanding stock options and other dilutive securities of approximately 9.9 million and 9.7 million shares were excluded

from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine-month periods ended December 2022, respectively, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. 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 nine-month periods ended December 2022, 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.

(a)There were no transfers among the levels within the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended December 2023 or the year ended March 2023.

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 and interest rate swap contracts, is determined based on observable market inputs (Level 2), including spot and forward exchange rates for foreign currencies and interest rate forward curves, 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.

All other significant 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 December 2023 and March 2023, their carrying values

approximated fair value. Additionally, at December 2023 and March 2023, the carrying values of VF’s long-term debt, including the current portion, were $5,755.8 million and $6,635.3 million, respectively, compared with fair values of $5,280.7 million and $6,244.4 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.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Timberland Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis

During the three months ended December 2023, management determined that the recent downturn in the Timberland historical financial results, combined with a downward revision to the latest Fiscal 2024 forecast and forward-looking financial projections, was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Timberland reporting unit goodwill, which includes the Timberland® brand, and the Timberland indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset, which includes both the Timberland® and Timberland PRO® brands. The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the December 30, 2023 testing date were $407.9 million and $999.5 million, respectively. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF

VF Corporation Q3 FY24 Form 10-Q 20

Table of Contents

recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $195.3 million in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended December 2023 to write down the Timberland reporting unit carrying value to its estimated fair value. No impairment charge was recorded on the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount.

The Timberland® brand, acquired in 2011, offers outdoor, adventure-inspired lifestyle footwear, apparel and accessories that combine performance benefits and versatile styling for men, women and children. Products are sold globally through chain, department and specialty stores, independent distributors and licensees, independently-operated partnership stores, concession retail stores, VF-operated stores, on websites with strategic digital partners and online at www.timberland.com. The Timberland reporting unit is included in the Outdoor reportable segment.

The fair values of the Timberland reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset were estimated using valuation techniques consistent with those discussed in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section included in Management's Discussion and Analysis in the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K.

Management's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Timberland reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuations were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Timberland reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset include:

•Financial projections and future cash flows that considered recent historical results, actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, with forecasted revenue growth and profitability improvement throughout the forecast period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business with a return to historical averages, and terminal growth rates based on the expected long-term growth rate of the business;

•Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the brand operates and the related intellectual property is domiciled;

•Royalty rates based on market data as well as active license agreements for the brand and similar VF brands; and,

•Market-based discount rates.

The valuation model used by management in the impairment testing assumes recovery from the recent downturn in the brand's operating results and the return to revenue growth and improved profitability over the projection period. If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment on the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset or additional impairment on the reporting unit goodwill could occur in the future.

Dickies Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis

September 30, 2023 Testing

During the three months ended September 2023, management determined that the recent downturn in the Dickies historical financial results, combined with a downward revision to the latest Fiscal 2024 forecast, was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Dickies reporting unit goodwill and the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. Based on the analysis, management concluded both the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset were not impaired. For goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 8%. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the September 30, 2023 testing date were $61.2 million and $290.0 million, respectively.

December 30, 2023 Testing

During the three months ended December 2023, management determined that the continued downturn in the Dickies financial results, weakness in certain key U.S. wholesale customer accounts, including lost product placement, and weakness in certain international markets, combined with expectations of a slower recovery, which have resulted in further reductions to the financial projections, was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Dickies reporting unit goodwill and the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the December 30, 2023 testing date were $61.8 million and $290.0 million, respectively. Based on the analysis, management concluded that the Dickies reporting unit goodwill was fully impaired and thus recorded an impairment charge of $61.8 million in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended December 2023. Based on the analysis, management concluded that the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset was not impaired and the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount.

The Dickies® brand, acquired in 2017, is a leader in authentic, functional, durable and affordable workwear and has expanded to produce work-inspired, casual-use products. Products are sold globally through mass merchants, specialty stores, independent distributors and licensees, independently-operated partnership stores, concession retail stores, VF-operated stores, on websites with strategic digital partners and online at www.dickies.com. The Dickies reporting unit is included in the Work reportable segment.

The fair values of the Dickies reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset were estimated using valuation techniques consistent with those discussed in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section included in Management's Discussion and Analysis in the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K.

Management's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Dickies reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuations were similar to those that

21 VF Corporation Q3 FY24 Form 10-Q

Table of Contents

would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Dickies reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset include:

•Financial projections and future cash flows, including a base year that considered recent actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, continued weakness in certain key accounts and markets, slower recovery from the recent downturn, with moderate revenue growth and improved profitability throughout the forecast period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business, and terminal growth rates based on the expected long-term growth rate of the business;

•Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the brand operates and the related intellectual property is domiciled;

•Royalty rates based on market data as well as active license agreements for the brand and similar VF brands; and,

•Market-based discount rates.

The valuation model used by management in the impairment testing assumes recovery from the recent downturn in the brand's operating results and the return to revenue growth and improved profitability over the projection period. If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset could occur in the future.

Management's Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Management made its estimates based on information available as of the date of our assessments, using assumptions we believe market participants would use in performing an independent valuation of the business. Although management believes the estimates and assumptions used in the impairment testing are

reasonable and appropriate, it is possible that VF's assumptions and conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of the Timberland reporting unit goodwill or the Timberland and Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets could change in future periods. There can be no assurance the estimates and assumptions, particularly our long-term financial projections, used in our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future, if, for example, (i) the businesses do not perform as projected, (ii) overall economic conditions in the remainder of Fiscal 2024 or future years vary from current assumptions (including changes in discount rates, royalty rates and foreign currency exchange rates), (iii) business conditions or strategies change from current assumptions, including loss of major customers or channels, (iv) investors require higher rates of return on equity investments in the marketplace, or (v) enterprise values of comparable publicly traded companies, or actual sales transactions of comparable companies, were to decline, resulting in lower multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). A future impairment charge of the Timberland reporting unit goodwill or the Timberland and Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets could have a material effect on VF's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The Company owns a broad, diverse portfolio of other brands and businesses for which material amounts of goodwill and intangible assets have been recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management continuously evaluates the current and future performance of VF's brands and businesses, as well as other relevant factors, in assessing the recoverability of these assets. There can be no assurances that the estimates and assumptions used in our long-term financial projections, among other factors, will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. As such, a future impairment charge of goodwill or intangible assets could occur, and if so, could have a material effect on VF's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 17 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Summary of Derivative Financial Instruments

VF’s outstanding derivative financial instruments include foreign currency exchange forward contracts and interest rate swap 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 foreign currency exchange forward contracts were $3.0 billion at December 2023, $3.4 billion at March 2023 and $3.3 billion at December 2022,

consisting primarily of contracts hedging exposures to the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc, Mexican peso, South Korean won, Chinese renminbi, Swedish krona, Polish zloty and Japanese yen. These derivative contracts have maturities up to 20 months.

The notional amounts of VF's outstanding interest rate swap contracts were $500.0 million at December 2023, March 2023 and December 2022.

Cash Flow Hedges

VF primarily uses foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of the exchange risk for its forecasted sales, inventory purchases, operating costs and certain intercompany transactions, including sourcing and management fees and royalties. The company also uses interest swap contracts to hedge against a portion of the exposure related to its interest payments on its variable-rate debt. The effects of cash flow hedging included in VF’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Consolidated Statements of Operations are summarized as follows:

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

VF uses foreign currency exchange contracts to manage foreign currency exchange risk on third-party and intercompany 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. During the nine months ended December 2023, certain derivative contracts were de-designated as the related hedged forecasted transactions were no longer deemed probable of occurring. Accordingly, the Company reclassified amounts from accumulated OCL and recognized an $8.3 million loss in cost of goods sold during the nine months ended December 2023.

Other Derivative Information

At December 2023, accumulated OCL included $40.7 million of pre-tax net deferred losses for foreign currency exchange contracts and a $1.7 million pre-tax deferred gain for interest rate swap contracts, which are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The amounts ultimately reclassified to 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 and euro commercial paper borrowings, which represented €2.0 billion in aggregate principal as of December 2023, 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 OCL as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on the hedged investments. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 2023, the Company recognized an after-tax loss of $74.8 million and $19.3 million, respectively, in other comprehensive income (loss) related to the net investment hedge transaction, and an after-tax loss of $126.5 million and an after-tax gain of $45.2 million for the three and nine-month periods ended December 2022, respectively. Any amounts deferred in accumulated OCL 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. Beginning in the three months ended December 2023, restructuring costs include charges related to Reinvent, a transformation program to enhance focus on brand-building and to improve operating performance and allow VF to achieve its full potential. The Company currently estimates that it will incur approximately $80.0 million to $130.0 million in restructuring and restructuring-related charges in connection with Reinvent, and that substantially all actions will be completed by the end of Fiscal 2025. Of the total estimated charges, the Company anticipates that approximately one-half will relate to severance and employee-related benefits and that the remainder will relate to asset impairments and other non-cash write-downs. Cash payments are generally expected to be paid within one year of charges incurred. During the three and nine months ended December 2023, VF recorded $50.3 million of charges in connection with Reinvent, of which $31.6 million related to severance and employee-related benefits and $18.7 million related to non-cash asset write-downs. As of December 2023,

$3.7 million of cash payments related to the Reinvent charges have been made.

During the three and nine months ended December 2023, VF recognized $50.8 million and $51.9 million, respectively, of total restructuring charges, related to approved initiatives. Of the total restructuring charges recognized in the three and nine months ended December 2023, $46.6 million and $47.7 million were reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, and $4.2 million in cost of goods sold in both periods. The Company has not recognized any significant incremental costs related to accruals for the year ended March 2023 or prior periods.

Of the $45.2 million total restructuring accrual at December 2023, $43.7 million is expected to be paid out within the next 12 months and is classified within accrued liabilities. The remaining $1.5 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:

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis and all percentages shown in the tables below and the following discussion have been calculated using unrounded numbers.

References to the three and nine months ended December 2023 foreign currency amounts and impacts below reflect the changes in foreign exchange rates from the three and nine months ended December 2022 when translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. VF’s most significant foreign currency exposure relates to business conducted in euro-based countries. Additionally, VF conducts business in other developed and emerging markets around the world with exposure to foreign currencies other than the euro.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Cybersecurity Incident

On December 13, 2023, VF detected unauthorized occurrences on a portion of its information technology ("IT") systems. Upon detecting the unauthorized occurrences, VF began taking steps to contain, assess and remediate the incident, including beginning an investigation with leading external cybersecurity experts, activating its incident response plan, and shutting down some systems. As a result of these and other measures, and while VF’s investigation and remediation efforts remain ongoing, VF believes the threat actor was ejected from VF’s IT systems on December 15, 2023. The threat actor disrupted VF’s business operations by encrypting some IT systems, and stole data from VF, including personal data. After VF shut down some of its systems, VF experienced disruption to certain of its operations, including interrupted replenishment of retail store inventory and delayed order fulfillment which had impacts such as the cancellation by customers and consumers of some product orders, reduced demand on certain of its brands’ e-commerce sites, and delay of some wholesale shipments. While VF is still experiencing minor residual impacts from the cyber incident, VF has resumed retail store inventory replenishment and product order fulfillment, and is caught up on fulfilling orders that were delayed as a result of the cyber incident. VF has substantially restored the IT systems and data that were impacted by the cyber incident, but continues to work through minor operational impacts.

While the investigation remains ongoing, VF believes that the material impact or reasonably likely material impact on VF is limited to the material impacts on VF’s business operations discussed above, which are no longer ongoing at this time. VF also believes the impacts of the cyber incident are not material and are not reasonably likely to be material to its financial condition and results of operations.

VF will be seeking reimbursement of costs, expenses and losses stemming from the cyber incident by submitting claims to VF’s cybersecurity insurers. The timing and amount of any such reimbursements are not known at this time.

Reinvent

On October 30, 2023, VF introduced Reinvent, a transformation program to enhance focus on brand-building and to improve operating performance and allow VF to achieve its full potential.

The first announced steps in this transformation, which cover the following priorities: improve North America results, deliver the Vans® turnaround, reduce costs and strengthen the balance sheet, are as follows:

•Establish global commercial organization, inclusive of an Americas region: Change the operating model with the establishment of a global commercial structure. This includes the creation of an Americas regional platform, modeled on the Company's successful operations in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions. With this change, VF has created the role of Chief Commercial Officer, with responsibility for go-to-market execution globally.

•Sharpen brand presidents' focus on sustainable growth: A direct consequence and intent of the operating model change, which is particularly critical at this stage for the Vans® brand, enables brand presidents to direct greater focus and attention to long-term brand-building, product innovation and growth strategies.

•Appoint new Vans® president: The Global Brand President of Vans® has stepped down from the position and has transitioned to lead Reinvent and the project teams driving the work. A search for a new brand president is ongoing with VF's CEO serving in the role on an interim basis.

•Optimize cost structure to improve operating efficiency and profitability: Implement a large-scale cost reduction program, which is expected to deliver $300 million in fixed cost savings, by removing spend in non-strategic areas of the business, and simplifying and right-sizing VF's structure.

•Reduce debt and leverage: In addition to improving operating performance, VF is committed to deleveraging the balance sheet.

Reinvent charges and project-related costs in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 were $50.9 million, which primarily included costs associated with severance and employee-related benefits and certain non-cash asset write-downs.

Dividend Update

On October 24, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share that was paid during the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, which represented a 70% reduction when

VF Corporation Q3 FY24 Form 10-Q 26

Table of Contents

compared to the dividend of $0.30 per share paid in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024. The decrease in the dividend was an action taken to strengthen the Company's financial position by reducing debt. Subject to approval by its Board of Directors, VF intends to continue to pay quarterly dividends. On January 23, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share to be paid during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024.

Impact of Global Events and Uncertainties

Though not expected to have a significant impact in the current year, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic resulted in

temporary closures of VF-operated retail stores in Fiscal 2023, most notably in the Asia-Pacific region, which impacted revenues in the region for the nine months ended December 2022. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East continue to cause disruption in the regions and unknown impacts to the global economy; however, we currently do not expect significant disruption to our business.

For additional information, see the risk factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K.


SUMMARY OF THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2024

•Revenues were down 16% to $3.0 billion compared to the three months ended December 2022, including a 1% favorable impact from foreign currency.

•Outdoor segment revenues decreased 13% to $1.7 billion compared to the three months ended December 2022, including a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency.

•Active segment revenues decreased 21% to $1.0 billion compared to the three months ended December 2022, including a 1% favorable impact from foreign currency.

•Work segment revenues decreased 17% to $222.3 million compared to the three months ended December 2022, including a 1% favorable impact from foreign currency.

•Wholesale revenues were down 26% compared to the three months ended December 2022, including a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency.

•Direct-to-consumer revenues were down 8% over the 2022 period, including a 1% favorable impact from foreign currency. E-commerce revenues decreased 13% in the current period, including a 1% favorable impact from foreign currency. Direct-to-consumer revenues accounted for 60% of VF's net revenues for the three months ended December 2023.

•International revenues decreased 5% compared to the three months ended December 2022, including a 3% favorable impact from foreign currency. Revenues in Europe decreased 7%, including a 5% favorable impact from foreign currency. Revenues in the Asia-Pacific region increased 2%, including a 1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency. International revenues represented 52% of VF's net revenues for the three months ended December 2023.

•Revenues in the Americas region decreased 24% compared to the three months ended December 2022, including a 1% favorable impact from foreign currency.

•Gross margin increased 20 basis points to 55.1% compared to the three months ended December 2022, primarily driven by favorable mix, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impacts.

•Earnings (loss) per share was $(0.11) compared to $1.31 in the 2022 period. The decrease was primarily driven by lower profitability across all segments, goodwill impairment charges related to the Timberland and Dickies reporting units and Reinvent charges during the three months ended December 2023, partially offset by legal settlement gains in the quarter. The three months ended December 2022 included a $0.24 discrete tax benefit in the quarter.


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 nine months ended December 2023 from the comparable periods in 2022:


(In millions)	Three Months Ended December		Nine Months Ended December
Net revenues — 2022	$	3,530.7	$	8,872.9
Organic	(615.1)		(897.7)

Impact of foreign currency	44.7		105.7
Net revenues — 2023	$	2,960.3	$	8,080.9

VF reported a 16% and 9% decrease in revenues for the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively, compared to the 2022 periods, including a 1% favorable impact from foreign currency in both periods. The revenue decrease in the three months ended December 2023 was driven by declines across all segments. The revenue decrease in the nine months ended December 2023 was primarily due to declines in the Active and Work segments. The revenue decrease in both periods was

partially offset by overall growth in the Asia-Pacific region in both the three and nine months ended December 2023. The Asia-Pacific region was negatively impacted by COVID-19 resurgence in Mainland China in the nine months ended December 2022.

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 December				Nine Months Ended December

	2023		2022		2023		2022
Gross margin (net revenues less cost of goods sold)	55.1	%	54.9	%	53.1	%	53.4	%
Selling, general and administrative expenses	47.5		40.3		45.9		43.1
Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets	8.7		—		3.2		4.8
Operating margin	(1.1)	%	14.6	%	4.0	%	5.5	%

Gross margin increased 20 basis points and decreased 30 basis points in the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively, compared to the 2022 periods. The increase in the three months ended December 2023 was primarily driven by favorable mix, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impacts. The decrease in the nine months ended December 2023 was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign currency impacts, partially offset by favorable mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased 720 and 280 basis points during the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively, compared to the 2022 periods. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $14.0 million and $118.3 million in the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively, compared to the 2022 periods. The decrease in the three months ended December 2023 was primarily due to lower distribution and advertising expenses, partially offset by Reinvent charges. The decrease in the nine months ended December 2023 was due to lower compensation and administrative costs, direct-to-consumer expenses and distribution costs, partially offset by higher information technology costs.

VF recorded goodwill impairment charges of $195.3 million and $61.8 million related to the Timberland and Dickies reporting units, respectively, in the three and nine months ended December 2023. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, due to continued weakness and downturn in the financial results, combined with expectations of a slower recovery, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred requiring impairment testing of the Timberland and Dickies reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets. The goodwill impairment related to the reduction in financial projections for both reporting units.

VF recorded goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $229.0 million and $192.9 million, respectively, in the nine months ended December 2022 related to the Supreme reporting unit. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, due to continued increases in the federal funds rate and strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred requiring impairment testing of the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The impairment related to an increase in the market-based discount rates used in the valuation and the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on financial projections.

Net interest expense increased $13.1 million and $53.3 million during the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively, compared to the 2022 periods. The increase in net

interest expense in both the three and nine months ended December 2023 was primarily due to additional borrowings on long-term debt at higher rates, partially offset by lower short-term commercial paper borrowings and higher investment rates. Total outstanding debt averaged $6.8 billion in the nine months ended December 2023 and $6.5 billion in the same period in 2022, with weighted average interest rates of 3.4% and 2.3% in the nine months ended December 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Other income (expense), net decreased $39.9 million and $136.8 million during the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively, compared to the 2022 periods. The decrease in the three months ended December 2023 was primarily due to legal settlement gains of $29.1 million and lower foreign currency losses compared to the 2022 period. The decrease in the nine months ended December 2023 was primarily due to the above-mentioned benefits during the fiscal third quarter and a $91.8 million pension settlement charge recorded in the 2022 period, which resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract and transfer of a portion of the assets and liabilities associated with the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan to an insurance company.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 2023 was 412.9% compared to (28.6)% in the 2022 period. The nine months ended December 2023 included a net discrete tax expense of $693.6 million, primarily related to the tax effects of decisions in the Timberland tax case and Belgium excess profits ruling. Refer to Note 13 to VF's consolidated financial statements for additional information. Excluding the $693.6 million net discrete tax expense in the 2023 period, the effective income tax rate would have been 18.7%. The nine months ended December 2022 included a net discrete tax benefit of $98.8 million, which primarily related to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examinations for tax year 2017 and short-tax year 2018 resulting in a $94.9 million favorable adjustment to VF's transition tax liability under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Excluding the $98.8 million net discrete tax benefit in the 2022 period, the effective income tax rate would have been 9.5%. Without discrete items, the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 2023 increased by 9.2% compared with the 2022 period primarily due to the jurisdictional mix of earnings and losses.

As a result of the above, net income (loss) in the three months ended December 2023 was $(42.5) million ($(0.11) per diluted share) compared to $507.9 million ($1.31 per diluted share) in the 2022 period, and net income (loss) in the nine months ended December 2023 was $(550.6) million ($(1.42) per diluted share) compared to $333.5 million ($0.86 per diluted share) in the 2022 period.

Global direct-to-consumer revenues for Outdoor decreased 2% and increased 3% in the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively, compared to the 2022 periods, including a 2% and 1% favorable impact from foreign currency in the respective periods. The decrease in the three months ended December 2023 was primarily due to declines in the Americas region. The increase in the nine months ended December 2023 was primarily due to The North Face® brand in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions. Global wholesale revenues decreased 25% and 4% in the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively, compared to the 2022 periods. The decrease includes a 1% and 2% favorable impact from foreign currency in the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively. The decrease in both periods was primarily driven by declines in the Americas region.

Operating margin decreased in both the three and nine months ended December 2023 compared to the 2022 periods, reflecting increased direct-to-consumer expenses and higher information technology costs. The decreases in both periods were partially offset by higher gross margin, primarily driven by favorable mix and unfavorable foreign currency impacts. The decrease in the three months ended December 2023 also reflects lower leverage of operating expenses due to decreased revenues.

Dickies® brand global revenues decreased 16% and 15% in the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively, compared to the 2022 periods, including a 1% favorable impact from foreign currency in the three months ended December 2023. The decline in both the three and nine months ended December 2023 was primarily driven by a decrease in the

Americas region of 11% and 14% in the respective periods, reflecting lower inventory replenishment and weakness with certain key U.S. wholesale customer accounts. The decline in both periods was also attributed to decreases in the Asia-Pacific region of 45% and 38% in the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively, including a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency in the nine months ended December 2023, primarily due to broad-based weakness in Greater China. Revenues in the Europe region decreased 15% and increased 11% in the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively, including a 4% and 6% favorable impact from foreign currency in the respective periods.

Operating margin decreased in the three and nine months ended December 2023 compared to the 2022 periods, reflecting lower gross margin resulting from increased inventory reserves and higher material costs, and lower leverage of operating expenses due to decreased revenues. The decreases were partially offset by price increases and favorable mix.


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

There are three types of costs necessary to reconcile total segment profit to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes. These costs are (i) impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, which is excluded from segment profit because these costs are not part of the ongoing operations of the businesses, (ii) corporate and other expenses, discussed below, and (iii) interest expense, net, which was discussed in the “Consolidated Statements of Operations” section.


	Three Months Ended December						Nine Months Ended December

(Dollars in millions)	2023		2022		Percent Change		2023		2022		Percent Change
Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets	$	257.1	$	—	100.0	%	$	257.1	$	421.9	(39.1)	%

Corporate and other expenses are those that have not been allocated to the segments for internal management reporting, including (i) certain information systems and shared service costs, (ii) corporate headquarters costs, and (iii) certain other income and expenses. The increase in corporate and other expenses for the three months ended December 2023 was

primarily due to Reinvent charges and project-related costs of $50.9 million. The decrease in the nine months ended December 2023 was due to a $91.8 million pension settlement charge recorded in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 and lower compensation and administrative costs in Fiscal 2024.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION


Consolidated Balance Sheets

The following discussion refers to significant changes in balances at December 2023 compared to March 2023:

•Decrease in accounts receivable — primarily due to lower wholesale shipments.

•Decrease in inventories — driven by VF reducing elevated inventory levels, primarily in core and replenishment products.

•Decrease in goodwill — primarily due to $257.1 million in impairment charges related to the Timberland and Dickies reporting units recorded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024.

•Decrease in other assets — primarily due to the write-off of the $875.7 million income tax receivable in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024 due to the unfavorable decision in the Timberland tax case related to 2011 taxes and interest disputed with the IRS.

•Increase in short-term borrowings — primarily due to an increase in commercial paper borrowings.

•Decrease in long-term debt — due to the reclassification of $1.0 billion of long-term debt due in December 2024 related to our delayed draw Term Loan Agreement (the "DDTL Agreement").

The following discussion refers to significant changes in balances at December 2023 compared to December 2022:

•Decrease in accounts receivable — primarily due to lower wholesale shipments.

•Decrease in inventories — driven by VF reducing elevated inventory levels, primarily in core and replenishment products.

•Decrease in intangible assets — primarily due to a $148.0 million impairment charge related to the Supreme® indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset recorded in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023.

•Decrease in goodwill — primarily due to $257.1 million in impairment charges related to the Timberland and Dickies reporting units recorded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 and a $165.1 million impairment charge related to the Supreme reporting unit recorded in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023.

•Decrease in short-term borrowings — primarily due to a decrease in commercial paper borrowings.

•Decrease in accrued liabilities — primarily due to a decrease in income taxes payable related to the Timberland tax case decision and lower accrued compensation.

•Decrease in other liabilities — primarily due to a decrease in deferred income tax liabilities, including the impacts from the Timberland tax case decision.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

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


	December	March	December
(Dollars in millions)	2023	2023	2022
Working capital	$938.6	$1,606.9	$697.7
Current ratio	1.2 to 1	1.5 to 1	1.2 to 1
Net debt to total capital	76.0%	71.6%	68.7%

The decrease in working capital and the current ratio at December 2023 compared to March 2023 was primarily due to a net increase in current liabilities driven by higher short-term borrowings, and a net decrease in current assets driven by lower accounts receivable and inventories for the periods compared, as discussed in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets" section above, partially offset by higher cash balances. The increase in working capital at December 2023 compared to December 2022 was primarily due to a net decrease in current liabilities driven by decreased short-term borrowings and accrued liabilities, partially offset by a net decrease in current assets driven by lower accounts receivable and inventories, as discussed in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets" section above.

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 increase in the net debt to total capital ratio at December 2023 compared to both March 2023 and December 2022 was driven by a decrease in

stockholders' equity, partially offset by a decrease in net debt for the periods compared. The decrease in stockholders' equity for both comparisons was driven by net loss in the respective periods and payments of dividends. The decrease in net debt at December 2023 compared to March 2023 was driven by the repayment of €850.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due in September 2023, partially offset by higher short-term borrowings. The decrease in net debt at December 2023 compared to December 2022 was driven by lower short-term borrowings, as discussed in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets" section above, and higher cash and cash equivalents at December 2023.

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 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-

35 VF Corporation Q3 FY24 Form 10-Q

Table of Contents

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 were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended December

(In thousands)	2023		2022
Cash provided (used) by operating activities	$	1,105,747	$	(833,472)
Cash used by investing activities	(191,994)		(206,833)
Cash provided (used) by financing activities	(735,766)		418,719

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 increase in cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended December 2023 compared to December 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in net cash used by working capital driven by lower accounts receivable and inventory balances in the 2023 period and the $875.7 million payment related to the Timberland tax case in the prior year period. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by lower earnings for the periods compared.

Cash Used by Investing Activities

The decrease in cash used by investing activities in the nine months ended December 2023 was primarily due to decreased software purchases of $22.6 million and decreased capital expenditures of $10.6 million, partially offset by lower proceeds from the sale of assets of $14.2 million compared to the 2022 period.

Cash Provided (Used) by Financing Activities

The increase in cash used by financing activities during the nine months ended December 2023 was primarily due to borrowings of $1.0 billion under the DDTL Agreement during the 2022 period and a $907.1 million payment of long-term debt in the nine months ended December 2023 compared to a $500.0 million payment of long-term debt in the nine months ended December 2022. The increase was also due to a $122.7 million net decrease in short-term borrowings for the periods compared. The increase was partially offset by a $57.0 million payment of Supreme contingent consideration in the prior year period and a $318.2 million decrease in dividends paid for the periods compared.

Share Repurchases

VF did not purchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market during the nine months ended December 2023 or the nine months ended December 2022 under the share repurchase program authorized by VF's Board of Directors.

As of the end of December 2023, VF had $2.5 billion remaining for future repurchases under its share repurchase authorization. VF's capital deployment priorities in the near-to-medium term will be focused on optimizing and driving the performance of the current portfolio and reducing leverage.

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 in November 2026. 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; however, granting of any extension is at the discretion of the lenders. The Global Credit Facility may be used to borrow funds in U.S. dollars or any alternative currency (including euros and any other currency that is freely convertible into U.S. dollars, approved at the request of the Company by the lenders) and has a $75.0 million letter of credit sublimit. The Global Credit Facility supports VF’s global commercial paper program for short-term, seasonal working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. 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 net indebtedness to consolidated net capitalization financial ratio covenant, as defined in the agreement as amended in February 2023, starting at 70% with future step downs. The calculation of consolidated net indebtedness is net of unrestricted cash and the calculation of consolidated net capitalization permits certain addbacks, including non-cash impairment charges and material impacts resulting from adverse legal rulings, as defined in the amended agreement. The covenant calculation also excludes consolidated operating lease liabilities. As of December 2023, VF was in compliance with all covenants.

VF has a global 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 $437.0 million in U.S. commercial paper borrowings as of December 2023. In addition to the U.S. commercial paper program, VF commenced a euro commercial paper borrowing program during the second quarter of Fiscal 2024. As of December 2023, there were no outstanding euro commercial paper borrowings under this program. Standby letters of credit issued under the Global Credit Facility as of December 2023 were $0.6 million, leaving approximately $1.8 billion available for borrowing against the Global Credit Facility at December 2023, subject to applicable financial covenants.

VF has $85.1 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 $15.3 million at December 2023.

Additionally, VF had $988.0 million of unrestricted cash and equivalents at December 2023.

Maturity

Supply Chain Financing Program

VF facilitates a voluntary supply chain finance ("SCF") program that enables a significant portion of our suppliers of inventory to leverage VF's credit rating to receive payment from participating financial institutions prior to the payment date specified in the terms between VF and the supplier. The SCF program is administered through third-party platforms that allow participating suppliers to track payments from VF and elect which receivables, if any, to sell to the financial institutions. The transactions are at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and financial institutions, and VF is not a party to the agreements and has no economic interest in the supplier's decision to sell a receivable. The terms between VF and the supplier, including the amount due and scheduled payment terms (which are generally within 90 days of the invoice date) are not impacted by a supplier's participation in the SCF program. All amounts due to suppliers that are eligible to participate in the SCF program are included in the accounts payable line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheets and VF payments made under the SCF program are reflected in cash flows from operating activities in VF's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. At December 2023, March 2023 and December 2022, the accounts payable line item in VF’s Consolidated Balance Sheets included total outstanding obligations of $599.0 million, $510.9 million and $502.8 million, respectively, due to suppliers that are eligible to participate in the SCF program.

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, VF extended its payment terms with eligible suppliers under the SCF program. VF expects a positive impact in Fiscal 2024; however, the change is not expected to have a material impact on VF's long-term overall liquidity or capital resources.

Rating Agencies

At the end of December 2023, VF’s long-term debt ratings were ‘BBB’ by Standard & Poor’s ("S&P") Global Ratings and ‘Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service ("Moody's"), and U.S. commercial paper ratings by those rating agencies were ‘A-2’ and ‘P-3’, respectively. The Moody's rating for VF's euro commercial paper was also 'P-3' at the end of December 2023. There is no active market for euro commercial paper based on VF's current rating. VF's credit rating outlook by both S&P and Moody's at the end of December 2023 was 'negative'.

VF’s credit agency ratings currently allow for access to additional liquidity at competitive rates. Further downgrades to VF's ratings could negatively impact borrowing costs.

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 notes due in 2033.

Dividends

The Company paid cash dividends of $0.09 and $0.69 per share during the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively, and the Company has declared a cash dividend of $0.09 per share that is payable in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024. Subject to approval by its Board of Directors, VF intends to continue to pay quarterly dividends.

Other Matters

As previously reported, VF petitioned the U.S. Tax Court (the “Tax Court”) to resolve an IRS dispute regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with VF’s acquisition of The Timberland Company in September 2011. While the IRS argued that all such income should have been immediately included in 2011, VF reported periodic income inclusions in subsequent tax years. In Fiscal 2023, the Tax Court issued its final decision in favor of the IRS, which was appealed by VF. On October 19, 2022, VF paid $875.7 million related to the 2011 taxes and interest being disputed, which was recorded as an income tax receivable based on the technical merits of our position with regards to the case and began to accrue interest income. On September 8, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit (“Appeals Court”) upheld the Tax Court’s decision in favor of the IRS. As a result of the Appeals Court decision, VF wrote off the related income tax receivable and associated interest and recorded $690.0 million of income tax expense in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024. This amount includes the reversal of $19.6 million of interest income, of which $7.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. This amount reflects the total estimated net impact to VF’s tax expense, which includes the expected reduction in taxes paid on the periodic inclusions that VF has reported, release of related deferred tax liabilities, and consideration of indirect tax effects resulting from the decision. The estimated impact is subject to future adjustments based on finalization with tax authorities.

Contractual Obligations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K provided a table summarizing VF’s material contractual obligations and commercial commitments at the end of Fiscal 2023 that would require the use of funds. As of December 2023, there have been no material changes in the amounts of unrecorded commitments disclosed in the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K, except as noted below:

•Inventory purchase obligations decreased by approximately $1.1 billion at the end of December 2023 primarily due to timing of inventory shipments and an overall planned reduction in inventory levels.

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 2023 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

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 2023 Form 10-K. Refer to Note 16 to VF's consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding VF's critical accounting policies and estimates during Fiscal 2024.


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. You can identify these statements by the fact that they use words such as "will," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "should," and "may," and other words and terms of similar meaning or use of future dates. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements 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. VF undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

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: the level of consumer demand for apparel and footwear; disruption to VF’s distribution system; changes in global economic conditions and the financial strength of VF’s customers, including as a result of current inflationary pressures; fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials and finished 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; VF's ability to maintain the image, health and equity of its brands; intense competition from online retailers and other direct-to-consumer business risks; third-party manufacturing and product innovation; increasing pressure on margins; VF’s ability to grow its international, direct-to-consumer and digital businesses; VF's ability to find and amplify consumer tailwinds, build brands on multiple growth horizons and leverage platforms for speed to scale and efficiency; retail industry changes and challenges; VF's ability to execute its transformation and other business strategies, such as the Reinvent transformation program,

including cost reduction and productivity initiatives and the update and maintenance of an agile and efficient operating model and organizational structure; any inability of VF or third parties on which we rely, to maintain the strength and security of information technology systems; the fact that VF’s facilities and systems, and those of third parties on which we rely, are frequent targets of cyber-attacks of varying levels of severity, and may be vulnerable to such attacks, and any inability or failure by us or such third parties to anticipate or detect data or information security breaches or other cyber-attacks, including the cyber incident that was reported by VF in December 2023, could result in data or financial loss, reputational harm, business disruption, damage to our relationships with customers, consumers, employees and third parties on which we rely, litigation, regulatory investigations, enforcement actions or other negative impacts; any inability by VF or third parties on which we rely to properly collect, use, manage and secure business, consumer and employee data and comply with privacy and security regulations; foreign currency fluctuations; stability of VF's vendors' manufacturing facilities and VF's ability to establish and maintain effective supply chain capabilities; continued use by VF’s suppliers of ethical business practices; VF’s ability to accurately forecast demand for products; actions of activist and other shareholders; VF's ability to recruit, develop or retain key executive or employee talent or successfully transition executives; continuity of members of VF’s management; changes in the availability and cost of labor; VF’s ability to protect trademarks and other intellectual property rights; possible goodwill and other asset impairment such as the impairment charges related to the Timberland® and Dickies® reporting unit goodwill and Supreme® reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset; maintenance by VF’s licensees and distributors of the value of VF’s brands; VF’s ability to execute acquisitions and dispositions, integrate acquisitions and manage its brand portfolio; business resiliency in response to natural or man-made economic, public health, political or environmental disruptions; changes in tax laws and additional tax liabilities, including the timing of income inclusion associated with our acquisition of the Timberland® brand in 2011; legal, regulatory, political, economic, and geopolitical risks, including those related to the current conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East; changes to laws and regulations; adverse or unexpected weather conditions, including any potential effects from climate change; VF's indebtedness and its ability to obtain

financing on favorable terms, if needed, could prevent VF from fulfilling its financial obligations; VF's ability to pay and declare dividends or repurchase its stock in the future; climate change and increased focus on environmental, social and governance issues; VF's ability to execute on its sustainability strategy and achieve its sustainability-related goals and targets; 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; and tax risks associated with the spin-off of our Jeanswear business completed in 2019. 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.

There have been no significant changes in VF’s market risk exposures from what was disclosed in Item 7A in the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K.


ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure controls and procedures:

Under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, a Disclosure Committee comprising various members of management has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures at VF and its subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). 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.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting:

There have been no changes during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, VF's internal control over financial reporting.

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 2023 Form 10-K. Except as noted in Note 13 — Income Taxes within Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the legal proceedings from those described in the Fiscal 2023 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 2023 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in the Fiscal 2023 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.

Other than the risks identified below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors identified in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K.


LEGAL, REGULATORY AND COMPLIANCE RISKS

We may have additional tax liabilities from new or evolving government or judicial interpretation of existing tax laws.

As a global company, we determine our income tax liability in various tax jurisdictions based on an analysis and interpretation of U.S. and international tax laws and regulations. This analysis requires a significant amount of judgment and estimation and is often based on various assumptions about the future actions of tax authorities. These determinations are the subject of periodic U.S. and international tax audits and court proceedings. In particular, tax authorities and the courts have increased their focus on income earned in no- or low-tax jurisdictions or income that is not taxed in any jurisdiction. Tax authorities have also become skeptical of special tax rulings provided to companies offering lower taxes than may be applicable in other countries.

For example, 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 EU investigated and announced its decision that the ruling was illegal and ordered that tax benefits granted under the ruling should be collected from the affected companies, including VF Europe, BVBA, a subsidiary of VF. During 2017 and 2018, VF Europe BVBA was assessed and paid €35.0 million in tax and interest, which was recorded as an income tax receivable based on the expected success of the requests for annulment. After subsequent annulments and appeals, the General Court confirmed the decision of the EU on September 20, 2023. As a result, VF wrote off the related income tax receivable and recorded a benefit for the associated foreign tax credit, resulting in $26.1 million of net income tax expense in the three months ended September 2023.

Also, as previously reported, VF petitioned the U.S. Tax Court (the "Tax Court") to resolve an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") dispute regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with VF's acquisition of The Timberland Company in September 2011. While the IRS argued that all such income should have been immediately included in 2011, VF reported periodic income inclusions in subsequent tax years. In Fiscal 2023, the Tax Court issued its final decision in favor of the IRS, which was appealed by VF. On October 19, 2022, VF paid $875.7 million related to the 2011 taxes and interest being disputed, which was recorded as an income tax receivable based on the technical merits of our position with regards to the case and began to accrue interest income. On September 8, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit ("Appeals Court") upheld the Tax Court’s decision in favor of the IRS. As a result of the Appeals Court decision, VF wrote off the related income tax receivable and associated interest and recorded $690.0 million of income tax expense in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024. This amount reflects the total estimated net impact to VF’s tax expense, which includes consideration of indirect tax effects resulting from the decision and is subject to future adjustments based on finalization with tax authorities.

Although we accrue for uncertain tax positions, our accrual may be insufficient to satisfy unfavorable findings. Unfavorable audit findings, or court interpretations (involving VF or other companies with similar tax profiles) may result in payment of taxes, fines and penalties for prior periods and higher tax rates in future periods, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


BUSINESS AND OPERATIONAL RISKS

VF relies significantly on information technology. Any inadequacy, interruption, integration failure or security failure of this technology could harm VF’s ability to effectively operate its business.

Our ability to effectively manage and operate our business depends significantly on information technology systems. We rely heavily on information technology to track sales and inventory and manage our supply chain. We are also dependent on information technology, including the Internet, for our direct-to-consumer sales, including our e-commerce operations and retail business credit card transaction authorization. Despite our preventative efforts, our systems and those of third parties on which we rely are frequently targeted by cyber-attacks of varying levels of severity, including the incident reported by VF in December 2023. These systems may be vulnerable to damage, failure or interruption due to cyber-attacks, viruses, data security incidents, technical malfunctions, natural disasters or other causes, or in connection with upgrades to our system or

the implementation of new systems. The failure of these systems to operate effectively or remain innovative, problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems, difficulty in integrating new systems or systems of acquired businesses or a breach in security of these systems has, and could continue to, adversely impact the operations of VF’s business. These impacts could affect, among other things, our reputation, management of inventory, ordering and replenishment of products, sourcing and distribution of products, e-commerce operations, retail business credit card transaction authorization and processing, corporate email communications and our interaction with the public on social media, and did affect our management of inventory, ordering and replenishment of products, sourcing and distribution of products, e-commerce operations, and corporate email communications. Moreover, failure to provide effective digital (including omni-channel) capabilities and information technology infrastructure could result in an inability to meet current and future business needs and a resulting loss of brand

Table of Contents

competitiveness, leading to loss of revenue and market share and decreased business agility.

VF is subject to data and information security and privacy risks that could negatively affect its business operations, results of operations or reputation.

In the normal course of business, we often collect, retain and transmit certain sensitive and confidential consumer information, including payment information and employee information, over public networks. There is a significant concern by consumers and employees over the security of personal information collected, retained or transmitted over the Internet, identity theft and user privacy. Data and information security breaches are increasingly sophisticated, and can be difficult to detect for long periods of time. Accordingly, if unauthorized parties gain access to our networks or databases, such as with the incident reported by VF in December 2023, or those of third parties on which we rely, they have, and could continue to, be able to steal, publish, delete, hold ransom or modify our private and sensitive information, including payment information, personal information, and confidential or other proprietary business information.

We are subject to frequent cyber-attacks of varying levels of severity and threats to our business from a variety of bad actors, many of whom attempt to gain unauthorized access to, steal and compromise our confidential information and systems. For example, we detected unauthorized occurrences on a portion of our information technology systems in December 2023. We have incurred, and may continue to incur, certain costs related to this attack including, without limitation, expenses to respond to, remediate and investigate this matter which may not be covered by, or may exceed the coverage limits of, our cyber liability insurance. While we have implemented systems and processes designed to protect against unauthorized access to or use of personal information and other confidential information, and rely on encryption and authentication technology to effectively secure transmission of such information, including payment information, there is no guarantee that they will be able to prevent unauthorized access to our systems and information in the future. Our facilities and systems, and those of third parties on which we rely, are frequently the target of cyber-attacks of varying levels of severity and have been, and may in the future be vulnerable, and we may be unable to prevent, anticipate or detect security breaches and data loss.

In addition, we face amplified data security risks as a result of the number of employees we employ, including more employees working remotely. These amplified risks include increased demand on our information technology resources and systems, increased phishing and other cyber-attacks, and an increase in the number of points of potential attack, such as laptops and mobile devices. Employees may intentionally or inadvertently cause data security breaches that result in the unauthorized release of personal or confidential information.

VF and its consumers and customers could suffer harm if valuable business data, or employee, consumer, customer and other confidential and proprietary information were corrupted, lost, accessed or misappropriated by third parties due to a cyber-attack, a security failure in VF’s systems or due to one of our third-party service providers or our employees. Any such breach, including, without limitation, the incident reported by VF in December 2023, has and could require significant expenditures to remediate; could cause damage to our

reputation, to confidence in our e-commerce platforms and to our relationships with customers, consumers, employees and third parties on whom we rely; has and could continue to result in business disruption, negative media attention and lost sales; and could expose us to risks of litigation, liability and increased scrutiny from regulatory entities. In addition, as a result of recent security breaches at a number of prominent retailers and other companies, media and public scrutiny of information security and privacy has become more intense and the regulatory environment has become increasingly uncertain, rigorous and complex. As a result, we may incur significant costs to comply with laws regarding the privacy and security of personal information and we may not be able to comply with new data protection laws and regulations being adopted around the world.

Any failure to comply with the laws and regulations and consumer expectations surrounding the privacy and security of personal information could subject us to legal and reputational risk, including significant fines and/or litigation for non-compliance in multiple jurisdictions, negative media coverage, diminished consumer confidence and decreased attraction to our brands, any of which could have a negative impact on revenues and profits. In addition, while we maintain cyber insurance policies, those existing insurance policies may not adequately protect VF from all of the adverse effects and damages that could be caused by a security breach, including the incident reported by VF in December 2023. Moreover, if our associates or vendors, intentionally or inadvertently, misuse consumer data or are not transparent with consumers about how we use their data, our brands, reputation and relationships with consumers could be damaged.

We experienced a significant data security breach in December 2023 which could result in a number of potentially unknown outcomes, including but not limited to, litigation, regulatory investigations or enforcement actions, any of which could have a material impact on our business operations, financial condition, or results of operations.

The cybersecurity incident we experienced in December 2023 included the encryption of certain information technology systems and the theft of certain personal information through unauthorized access to our information technology systems. Our investigation of the incident remains ongoing, and it is possible that we will identify additional information that was accessed or stolen, which could materially affect the risk of loss or reputational damage. As a result of the cybersecurity incident, we may be subject to governmental investigations, private litigation or other claims, which could result in fines, other monetary relief, or injunctive relief that could materially increase our data security costs, adversely impact how we operate our systems and collect and use personal information. If, as a result of any such governmental investigation, other investigation or claim, we are found to be in violation of applicable laws and regulations including, without limitation, any applicable data privacy and information security laws or regulations, we could be subject to legal risk, including government enforcement action and civil litigation, which could adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition or results of operations. Defending any such litigation claim or enforcement action, regardless of merit, and whether successful or unsuccessful, and cooperating with regulatory investigations, could be expensive and time-consuming and adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations or financial condition.

FINANCIAL RISKS

VF’s balance sheet includes a significant amount of intangible assets and goodwill. A decline in the fair value of an intangible asset or of a business unit could result in an asset impairment charge, such as the recent impairment charges related to the Timberland® and Dickies® reporting unit goodwill and Supreme® reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset.

VF’s policy is to evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for possible impairment as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of each year, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of such assets may be below their carrying amount. In addition, intangible assets that are being amortized are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. For these impairment tests, we use various valuation methods to estimate the fair value of our business units and intangible assets. If the fair value of an asset is less than its carrying value, we would recognize an impairment charge for the difference.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, due to continued increases in the federal funds rate and strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, VF determined that a triggering event had occurred requiring impairment testing of the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded impairment charges of $229.0 million and $192.9 million to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset, respectively. The impairment primarily related to an increase in the market-based discount rates used in the valuations and the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on financial projections.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023, in connection with its annual impairment testing, VF performed a quantitative analysis of the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. As a result of the impairment testing

performed, VF recorded impairment charges of $165.1 million and $148.0 million to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset, respectively. The impairment related to lower financial projections and increased risk of achieving management's forecasts.

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, due to continued weakness and downturn in the financial results, combined with expectations of a slower recovery than previously anticipated, VF determined that a triggering event had occurred requiring impairment testing of the Timberland and Dickies reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded goodwill impairment charges of $195.3 million and $61.8 million related to the Timberland and Dickies reporting units, respectively. The goodwill impairment related to the reduction in financial projections for both reporting units.

It is possible that we could have another impairment charge for goodwill or trademark and trade name intangible assets in future periods if (i) the businesses do not perform as projected, (ii) overall economic conditions in the remainder of Fiscal 2024 or future years vary from our current assumptions (including changes in discount rates, royalty rates and foreign currency exchange rates), (iii) business conditions or our strategies for a specific business unit change from our current assumptions, (iv) investors require higher rates of return on equity investments in the marketplace, or (v) enterprise values of comparable publicly traded companies, or of actual sales transactions of comparable companies, were to decline, resulting in lower comparable multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and, accordingly, lower implied values of goodwill and intangible assets. Any future impairment charge for goodwill or intangible assets could have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
