Fiscal Year
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 March 31, 2024 through March 29, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”). Accordingly, this Form 10-Q presents our second quarter of Fiscal 2025. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended September 2024 and September 2023 relate to the fiscal periods ended on September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. References to March 2024 relate to information as of March 30, 2024.
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
On July 16, 2024, VF entered into a definitive Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with EssilorLuxottica S.A. to sell the Supreme® brand business ("Supreme"). On October 1, 2024, VF completed the sale of Supreme. During the three months ended September 2024, the Company determined that Supreme met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, beginning in the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, VF has reported the results of Supreme and the related cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively. The related held-for-sale assets and liabilities have been reported as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes have been applied to all periods presented.
Unless otherwise noted, discussion within these notes to the interim consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. Refer to Note 4 for additional information on discontinued operations.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the Fiscal 2025 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 2024 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 six months ended September 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for Fiscal 2025. 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 March 30, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K”).
Use of Estimates
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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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. The Company adopted the required guidance in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 and will disclose the rollforward information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 29, 2025. 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 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.
Fair Value Measurement
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.
