Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2020, January 2021 and December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting", ASU No. 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope" and ASU No. 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848", respectively. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The guidance is provided to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company amended the terms of its $2.25 billion senior unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Global Credit Facility”), which replaced the LIBOR benchmark interest rate with a benchmark interest rate based on the forward-looking secured overnight financing rate ("Term SOFR"). This guidance was adopted in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, but did not impact VF's consolidated financial statements.
In September 2022, the FASB issued 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. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the required guidance in the first quarter of
Fiscal 2024 and is evaluating the impact of adopting the guidance related to the rollforward information. 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 annual 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.
