VF previously used a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 of each year. The Company's current fiscal year will run from April 1, 2018 through March 30, 2019 ("Fiscal 2019"). This document reflects the Company's first quarter of Fiscal 2019. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended June 2018, March 2018 and June 2017 relate to the fiscal periods ended on June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018 and July 1, 2017, respectively.
The Nautica® brand business and the Licensing Business (which comprised the Licensed Sports Group and JanSport® brand collegiate businesses) have been reported as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and the related assets and liabilities have been presented as held-for-sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, through their dates of disposal. These changes have been applied to all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, discussion within these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. Refer to Note 5 for additional information on discontinued operations.
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed 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 months ended June 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for Fiscal 2019.

| 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:

| Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", a new accounting standard on leasing. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics, including permitted transition methods. This new standard will require companies to record most leased assets and related liabilities on the balance sheet, and also retains a dual model approach for assessing lease classification and recognizing expense. VF's cross-functional implementation team has completed the design phase of the project, which involved reviewing the standard's provisions, evaluating real estate and non-real estate lease arrangements and identifying arrangements that may contain embedded leases. This project is now in the implementation phase and the team is collecting information from lease contracts, assessing potential embedded leases and evaluating accounting policy elections. VF is also evaluating the impact of the new accounting standard on the Company's systems, processes and controls. Based on the efforts to date, VF expects this standard will have a material impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheets but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company will adopt the new standard in the first quarter of the year ended March 28, 2020 ("Fiscal 2020") utilizing the modified retrospective method and will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings at the beginning of the period of adoption.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This guidance will be effective for VF in the first quarter of the year ended April 3, 2021 ("Fiscal 2021") with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities", an update that amends and simplifies certain aspects of hedge accounting rules to better portray the economic results of risk management activities in the financial statements. This guidance will be effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2018, the FASB released guidance on the accounting for tax on the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions of the Tax Act. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The guidance indicates that companies must make a policy decision to either record deferred taxes related to GILTI inclusions or treat any taxes on GILTI inclusions as period costs. The Company is continuing to evaluate these options and will make its decision regarding the accounting policy election within the measurement period as provided under SAB 118. The Company has considered the taxes resulting from GILTI as a current-period expense for the three months ended June 2018.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income", an update that addresses the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate due to the enactment of the Tax Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The guidance will be effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting", an update that expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance will be effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, "Codification Improvements", an update that provides technical corrections, clarifications and other improvements across a variety of accounting topics. The transition and effective date guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment included in the ASU; however, many will be effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF's consolidated financial statements.
