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.
