CAPITAL AND ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS CAPITAL AND ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Common Stock

During the years ended March 2024 and 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. During the year ended March 2022, the Company purchased 4.8 million shares of Common Stock in open market transactions for $350.0 million under its share repurchase program authorized by VF's Board of Directors. These purchases were treated as treasury stock transactions.
Common Stock outstanding is net of shares held in treasury which are, in substance, retired. During the year ended March 2022, VF restored 4.8 million treasury shares to an unissued status, after which they were no longer recognized as shares held in treasury. There were no shares held in treasury at the end of March 2024, 2023 or 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.

VF’s comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
