Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
ACQUISITION ACQUISITION
On December 28, 2020, VF acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Supreme Holdings, Inc. ("Supreme") for $2.2 billion in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The transaction also included $0.2 billion of cash acquired by VF. The purchase price was primarily funded with cash on hand. The purchase price decreased by $3.8 million during the year ended March 2022, related to the final working capital adjustment.
The acquisition of Supreme included a contingent arrangement that required additional cash consideration to be paid to the selling shareholders of Supreme ranging from zero to $300.0 million, which was dependent upon the achievement of certain financial targets over the one-year earn-out period ended January 31, 2022. The initial estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $207.0 million and was included in the purchase price. During Fiscal 2022, the contingent consideration liability was remeasured at fair value based on the probability-weighted present value of various future cash payment outcomes resulting from the estimated achievement levels of the financial targets, with changes recognized in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The
estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $57.0 million as of March 2022 and was paid during the year ended March 2023. Refer to Note 23 for additional information on fair value measurements.
Supreme was a privately-held company based in New York, New York and is a global streetwear leader that sells apparel, accessories and footwear under its namesake brand, Supreme®, through direct-to-consumer channels, including digital.
For the years ended March 2023 and March 2022, Supreme contributed revenues of $523.1 million and $561.5 million, respectively, and net income of $64.8 million and $82.4 million, respectively. For the period from December 28, 2020 through April 3, 2021, Supreme contributed revenues of $142.0 million and net income of $21.5 million. The results of Supreme have been reported in the Active segment since the date of acquisition. Total transaction expenses for the Supreme acquisition were $8.7 million, all of which were recognized in the year ended March 2021 in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of VF as if the acquisition of Supreme had occurred on March 31, 2019:

These changes have been applied from March 31, 2019, with related tax effects.
The pro forma financial information in the year ended March 2021 excludes $30.6 million of expenses related to Supreme's
