CAPITAL AND ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS CAPITAL AND ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Common Stock
During the six months ended September 2024, the Company did not purchase shares of Common Stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase program authorized by VF’s Board of Directors. These are treated as treasury stock transactions when shares are repurchased.
Common Stock outstanding is net of shares held in treasury which are, in substance, retired. There were no shares held in treasury at the end of September 2024, March 2024 or September 2023. 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 deficit).
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 other comprehensive loss ("OCL") in stockholders’ equity, as follows:
