VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC) today reported financial results for its third quarter (Q3'FY24) ended December 30, 2023, announcing a quarterly per share dividend of $0.09 and reiterating FY24 free cash flow guidance.
Bracken Darrell, President and CEO, said: "Our third quarter top-line performance was disappointing. However, we are confident the actions we are implementing as part of Reinvent will enable VF to stabilize and then grow revenue and improve operational performance across brands and regions. We have already begun to see the impact of our efforts to right-size the company's cost structure and improve its inventory position, resulting in stronger than expected cash flow and expanded gross margin in the quarter. This quarter marked the beginning of the next phase of our transformation plan: resetting the marketplace for Vans, reviewing our brand portfolio and continuing to build the organization of the future. As we approach the end of this fiscal year, my confidence in VF's future is rising."
Q3'FY24 Financial and Operating Highlights
Revenue down 16% (down 17% in constant dollars) to $3.0 billion
The quarter was negatively impacted by a shift in timing of wholesale deliveries, which was most pronounced for The North Face(R) and the EMEA region
Loss per share $(0.11) versus Q3'FY23 earnings per share $1.31; adjusted earnings per share $0.57 versus Q3'FY23 adjusted earnings per share $1.12
The North Face(R) down 10% (down 11% in constant dollars); in the first nine months of FY'24 revenue is up 4% (up 3% in constant dollars)
APAC region up 26% (up 28% in constant dollars), including Greater China up 31% (up 32% in constant dollars)
Vans(R) down 28% (down 29% in constant dollars), inclusive of deliberate actions taken to right-size inventories in the Wholesale channel
Americas region down 24% (down 25% in constant dollars)
International business down 5% (down 8% in constant dollars)
APAC region up 2% (up 3% in constant dollars), including Greater China up 5% (up 7% in constant dollars)
EMEA region revenue down 7% (down 12% in constant dollars)
Inventories at the end of Q3'FY24 down 17% relative to last year
Net debt at the end of Q3'FY24 reduced by approximately $640 million relative to last year
Reinvent
During the quarter, the company continued to execute the Reinvent transformation program, which aims to enhance focus on brand-building and to improve operating performance. The initial four priorities of Reinvent are to improve North America results, deliver the Vans turnaround, reduce costs and strengthen the balance sheet. The company will continue to pursue opportunities to simplify and streamline its processes and invest in the business to drive brand heat and accelerate a return to growth.
Strategic Portfolio Review
Consistent with the goals of Reinvent, VF has initiated an in-depth strategic review of the brand assets within the portfolio, in alignment with the Board of Directors, to ensure the company owns the brands that it believes create the greatest long-term value.
FY24 Outlook
The company reaffirmed its free cash flow guidance for FY24 of approximately $600 million.

Financial Presentation Disclosure
All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis. This release refers to "reported" and "constant dollar" amounts, terms that are described under the heading below "Constant Currency - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency." Unless otherwise noted, "reported" and "constant dollar" amounts are the same. This release also refers to "adjusted" amounts, a term that is described under the heading below "Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Reinvent, Noncash Impairment Charges, Tax and Legal Items, and Transaction and Deal Related Activities." Unless otherwise noted, "reported" and "adjusted" amounts are the same.
Constant Currency - 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 "constant dollar" amounts, which exclude the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. Reconciliations of GAAP measures to constant currency 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.
Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Reinvent, Noncash Impairment Charges, Tax and Legal Items, and Transaction and Deal Related Activities
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude costs related to Reinvent, VF's transformation program. Costs related to Reinvent were approximately $51 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2024.
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude noncash goodwill impairment charges related to the Timberland(R) and Dickies(R) reporting units of approximately $257 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2024.
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude the impact to tax expense resulting from the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on September 8, 2023 that upheld the U.S. Tax Court's decision in favor of the Internal Revenue Service regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with VF's acquisition of The Timberland Company in September 2011. The adjusted amounts also exclude the impact to tax expense resulting from the decision by the General Court on September 20, 2023 that confirmed the decision of the European Union that Belgium's excess profit tax regime amounted to illegal State aid. The net impact to tax expense was an increase of approximately $696 million, excluding the reversal of accrued interest income, in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as a result of these two rulings.
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude legal settlement gains of approximately $29 million recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2024.
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude transaction and deal related activities associated with the review of strategic alternatives for the Global Packs business, consisting of the Kipling(R), Eastpak(R) and JanSport(R) brands. Total transaction and deal related activities include costs of approximately $1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and $2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024.
Combined, the above items negatively impacted earnings per share by $0.68 during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and $2.48 during the first nine months of fiscal 2024. 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. The company also provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we cannot predict certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results.

Constant Currency 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. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results. As a supplement to our reported operating results, we present constant currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We use constant currency 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. 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 constant currency 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).

(a) Costs related to Reinvent, VF's transformation program, were $50.9 million in the three and nine months ended December 2023, related primarily to severance and employee-related benefits and certain non-cash asset write-downs. Reinvent resulted in a net tax benefit of $13.0 million in the three and nine months ended December 2023.
(b) VF recognized noncash goodwill impairment charges related to the Timberland and Dickies reporting units of $195.3 million and $61.8 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended December 2023. The impairment charges resulted in a net tax benefit of $8.1 million in the three and nine months ended December 2023.
(c) Tax items include the impact to tax expense resulting from the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on September 8, 2023 that upheld the U.S. Tax Court's decision in favor of the Internal Revenue Service regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with VF's acquisition of The Timberland Company in September 2011. The net impact to tax expense was an increase of approximately $670.3 million in the nine months ended December 2023, excluding the reversal of accrued interest income, as a result of this decision. Tax items also include the impact to tax expense resulting from the decision by the General Court on September 20, 2023 that confirmed the decision of the European Union that Belgium's excess profit tax regime amounted to illegal State aid. The net impact to tax expense was an increase of approximately $26.1 million in the nine months ended December 2023, as a result of this ruling.
Legal items include legal settlement gains of $29.1 million recorded in the three and nine months ended December 2023 within the Other income (expense), net line item. The legal items resulted in a net tax expense of $7.5 million in the three and nine months ended December 2023.
(d) Transaction and deal related activities reflect activities associated with the review of strategic alternatives for the Global Packs business, consisting of the Kipling(R), Eastpak(R) and JanSport(R) brands, which totaled $1.0 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively. The transaction and deal related activities resulted in a net tax benefit of $0.2 million and $0.6 million in the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively.
(e) Amounts shown in the table have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The GAAP diluted earnings per share was calculated using 388,383,000 and 388,294,000 weighted average common shares for the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively. The adjusted diluted earnings per share impacts were calculated using 389,375,000 and 389,246,000 weighted average common shares for the three and nine months ended December 2023, respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The financial information above has been presented on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis, which excludes the impact of Reinvent, impairment charges, certain tax and legal items and transaction and deal related activities. The adjusted presentation provides non-GAAP measures. 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.

(b) Specified strategic business decisions include costs related to VF's business model transformation of $8.3 million and $59.5 million during the three and nine months ended December 2022, respectively, related primarily to Corporate actions and resulting restructuring costs.

(c) VF recognized noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of $421.9 million during the nine months ended December 2022. The impairment charges were driven by non-operating factors including higher interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations.
A noncash pension settlement charge of $91.8 million was recorded in the Other income (expense), net line item during the nine months ended December 2022. The pension settlement charge resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract, which was an action taken to streamline administration, manage financial risk associated with pension plans, and to transfer a portion of the liability associated with VF's U.S. pension plan to an insurance company.
The impairment and pension settlement charges resulted in a net tax expense of $12.2 million and a net tax benefit of $60.2 million in the three and nine months ended December 2022, respectively.
(d) Tax item includes a $94.9 million discrete tax benefit recognized during the three and nine months ended December 2022 related to the Internal Revenue Service examinations for tax year 2017 and short-tax year 2018 resulting in a favorable adjustment to VF's transition tax liability under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
(e) Amounts shown in the table have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The diluted earnings per share was calculated using 388,192,000 and 388,357,000 weighted average common shares for the three and nine months ended December 2022, respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The financial information above has been presented on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis, which excludes the impact of transaction and deal related activities, activity related to specified strategic business decisions, impairment, a pension settlement charge and a tax item. The adjusted presentation provides non-GAAP measures.
