| SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS | SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS ABL Credit Facility
On August 26, 2025, VF entered into a credit agreement that provides the Company with a $1.5 billion senior secured asset based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Facility"), subject to a borrowing base that is composed of eligible credit card receivables, eligible wholesale receivables, eligible inventory and eligible in-transit inventory. The ABL Credit Facility includes up to a $100.0 million letter of credit subfacility and a $100.0 million swing-line subfacility. The ABL Credit Facility includes up to a $400.0 million subfacility for borrowings by borrowers formed in Switzerland and Germany, with the German sublimit capped at $75.0 million, subject to a borrowing base composed of eligible wholesale receivables, eligible inventory, and eligible in-transit inventory for the Swiss borrowings and composed of eligible wholesale receivables for the German borrowings.
The ABL Credit Facility has a stated maturity date of August 26, 2030 and replaces VF's previous $2.25 billion senior unsecured revolving line of credit, dated November 24, 2021 (as amended, the "Terminated Agreement").
The ABL Credit Facility includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility up to a maximum of $2.0 billion, subject to the terms and conditions of the credit agreement. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility may be used (i) to refinance the Company’s existing indebtedness owed under the Terminated Agreement, (ii) to fund fees and expenses associated with the ABL Credit Facility, and (iii) for working capital and general corporate purposes. Multicurrency borrowings are available under the credit agreement, including borrowings in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros, sterling, and Swiss francs (subject to certain limitations as set forth in the credit agreement). Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate per annum based on the currency borrowed and borrowing type (swing loan, base rate loan or benchmark/term rate loan), plus the applicable margin (ranging from 0.50% to 2.00% based on borrowing type and average Global Excess Availability, as set forth in the credit agreement). The applicable
margin is subject to a one-time permanent 0.25% reduction if VF achieves a Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of less than 4.00 to 1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarter periods ending after the closing date. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unutilized commitments under the ABL Credit Facility. The commitment fee is between 0.25% and 0.375% depending on the usage of the ABL Credit Facility relative to the maximum principal amount. VF is also required to pay letter of credit fees, as detailed in the credit agreement.
The ABL Credit Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, which include, among other things, required financial reporting, limitations on indebtedness and granting certain liens, restrictions on fundamental changes to the business, restrictions on disposal of assets, restrictions on changes to the nature of the business, restrictions on prepayment of certain indebtedness, restricted payment limitations, along with other restrictions and limitations similar to those typical for credit facilities of this type. Certain actions restricted by the negative covenants are permitted so long as Payment Conditions, as defined in the credit agreement, are satisfied.
The ABL Credit Facility includes a financial covenant that requires VF to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the 12-month period ending on the last day of any applicable fiscal quarter. However, the financial covenant only applies if at any time Global Excess Availability (as defined in the credit agreement) is less than the greater of (i) 10.0% of the Global Line Cap (as defined in the credit agreement), and (ii) $100.0 million, and ceases to apply when Global Excess Availability has equaled or exceeded the greater of (i) 10.0% of the Global Line Cap, and (ii) $100.0 million for 30 consecutive days. As of September 2025, specified availability under the ABL Credit Facility exceeded the required threshold and, as a result, the financial covenant was not applicable.
The Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants as of September 2025.
As of September 2025, the Company had $491.3 million of outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.4%. Reserves for
outstanding, unfunded letters of credit under the ABL Credit Facility were $0.6 million as of September 2025. Availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $994.6 million as of September 2025, after giving effect to the borrowing base, outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit.
