GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 30, 2017. All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis. This release refers to “reported” and “currency neutral” amounts, terms that are described under the heading “Currency Neutral - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency.” Unless otherwise noted, “reported” and “currency neutral” amounts are the same. This release also refers to “continuing” and “discontinued” operations amounts, which are concepts described under the heading “Discontinued Operations - Nautica® Brand Business, Licensing Business and Contemporary Brands.” Unless otherwise noted, results presented are based on continuing operations. This release also refers to “adjusted” amounts, terms that are described under the heading “Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Williamson-Dickie and Icebreaker® Transaction and Deal Related Expenses and the Impact of U.S. Tax Legislation.” Unless otherwise noted, “reported” and “adjusted” amounts are the same.
“VF's fourth quarter results were stronger than we expected as growth continues to accelerate across core dimensions of our portfolio,” said Steve Rendle, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered a top-quartile total return for shareholders in 2017 and our strong performance provided us with the capacity to reinvest about $100 million back into our business. I am confident that our investments will accelerate growth and drive even stronger long term value for shareholders. We remain in the early phase of a multi-year journey to become a purpose led, agile, consumer centric organization. I am pleased with our early progress and look forward to building on our momentum in 2018.”
Currency Neutral - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency
This release refers to “reported” amounts in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which include translation and transactional impacts from foreign currency exchange rates. This release also refers to “currency neutral” amounts, which exclude both the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars and the impact of currency rate changes on foreign currency denominated transactions. Reconciliations of GAAP measures to currency neutral amounts are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release, which identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides management’s view of why this information is useful to investors.
Discontinued Operations - Nautica® Brand Business, Licensing Business and Contemporary Brands
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the company reached the decision to sell its Nautica® brand business and determined that it met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, the company has classified the assets and liabilities of the Nautica® brand business as held-for-sale and has included the results of this business in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
On April 28, 2017, the company completed the sale of its Licensed Sports Group (LSG) business, including the Majestic® brand. In conjunction with the LSG divestiture, VF executed its plan to entirely exit the licensing business and completed the sale of the assets of the JanSport® brand collegiate business in the fourth quarter of 2017. On August 26, 2016, the company completed the sale of its Contemporary Brands businesses, which included the 7 For All Mankind®, Splendid® and Ella Moss® brands. Accordingly, the company has removed the assets and liabilities of the licensing and the Contemporary Brands businesses as of the dates noted above and included the operating results of these businesses in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The company’s after-tax net loss from discontinued operations was $17 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, which includes the operating results of the Nautica® brand business, a noncash impairment charge to adjust the Nautica® brand business to its estimated fair value, and the gain on sale of the assets of the JanSport® brand collegiate business. The company's after-tax net loss from discontinued operations was $106 million for the full year 2017, which includes the loss on sale of the licensing business, the noncash impairment charges related to the Nautica® brand business, and the operating results of the licensing and Nautica® brand businesses.
Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Williamson-Dickie and Icebreaker® Transaction and Deal Related Expenses and the Impact of U.S. Tax Legislation
This release refers to adjusted amounts that exclude transaction and deal related expenses associated with the acquisition of Williamson-Dickie and Icebreaker®. Total transaction and deal related expenses were $16 million and $21 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2017, respectively.
Adjusted amounts in this release also exclude the impact of recent U.S. tax legislation. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act"). The Tax Act reduces the federal tax rate on U.S. earnings to 21 percent and moves from a global taxation regime to a modified territorial regime. As part of the legislation, U.S. companies are required to pay a tax on historical earnings generated offshore that have not been repatriated to the U.S. Additionally, revaluation of deferred tax asset and liability positions at the lower federal base rate of 21 percent is also required. The transitional impact of the Tax Act resulted in a provisional net charge of approximately $465 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2017. Given the significant complexity of the Tax Act, anticipated guidance from the U.S. Treasury about implementing the Tax Act, and the potential for additional guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Financial Accounting Standards Board related to the Tax Act, these estimates may be adjusted during 2018.
Combined, the above charges negatively impacted earnings per share by $1.19 for both the fourth quarter and full year 2017. All adjusted amounts referenced herein exclude the effects of these amounts.
Reconciliations of measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to adjusted amounts are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release, which identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides management’s view of why this information is useful to investors.
Fourth Quarter 2017 Income Statement Review

- Gross margin improved 130 basis points to a quarterly record high of 51.5 percent, as benefits from pricing, lower restructuring costs, and a mix-shift toward higher margin businesses were partially offset by the Williamson-Dickie acquisition and changes in foreign currency.

- Revenue increased 7 percent to $11.8 billion, including a $247 million contribution from the Williamson-Dickie acquisition.

| Currency Neutral Financial Information | ||||||||||||
| VF is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by VF from translating its foreign revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars, and from entering foreign currency transactions. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results. As a supplement to our reported operating results, we present currency neutral financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes both the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars and the impact of currency rate changes on foreign currency denominated transactions. We use currency neutral information to provide a framework to assess how our business performed excluding the effects of changes in the rates used to calculate foreign currency translation, and transaction gains and losses. Management believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in our businesses. | ||||||||||||
| To calculate foreign currency translation on a currency neutral basis, operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period). Similarly, transaction gains and losses on a currency neutral basis are calculated using exchange rates from the comparable period of the prior year. | ||||||||||||
| These currency neutral performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The currency neutral information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. | ||||||||||||

| (a) Transaction and deal related costs for the three months ended December 2017 include $15.5 million ($13.8 million after-tax) of expenses related to the Williamson-Dickie Mfg. Co. (“Williamson-Dickie”) acquisition and integration, $3.6 million ($2.9 million after-tax) of additional cost of goods sold recognized by Williamson-Dickie due to fair value inventory adjustments calculated as part of the purchase price accounting and $3.5 million ($3.1 million after-tax) of net benefit from the hedge of the purchase price and acquisition costs for the Icebreaker Holdings Limited acquisition. The diluted earnings per share impact was calculated using 400,378,000 shares. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (b) On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”). The Tax Act reduces the federal tax rate on U.S. earnings to 21% and moves from a global taxation regime to a modified territorial regime. As part of the legislation, U.S. companies are required to pay a tax on historical earnings generated offshore that have not been repatriated to the U.S. Additionally, revaluation of deferred tax asset and liability positions at the lower federal base rate of 21% is also required. The transitional impact of the Tax Act resulted in a provisional net charge of $465.5 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2017. The diluted earnings per share impact was calculated using 400,378,000 and 403,559,000 shares for the three and twelve months ended December 2017, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (c) The contribution from Williamson-Dickie represents the operating results from October 2, 2017 through December 30, 2017, excluding transaction and deal related costs. The income from continuing operations was calculated using a 20% tax rate and the diluted earnings per share impact was calculated using 400,378,000 and 403,559,000 shares for the three and twelve months ended December 2017, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Management believes these measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding VF's underlying business trends and the performance of VF's ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations. | ||||||
| Management uses the above financial measures internally in its budgeting and review process and, in some cases, as a factor in determining compensation. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, VF's operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures presented by other companies. | ||||||
