Fiscal Year
Fiscal Year
VF Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, collectively known as “VF” or the “Company”) uses a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. The Company's current fiscal year runs from March 30, 2025 through March 28, 2026 (“Fiscal 2026”). Accordingly, this Form 10-Q presents our third quarter of Fiscal 2026. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended December 2025 and December 2024 relate to the fiscal periods ended on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. References to March 2025 relate to information as of March 29, 2025.
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
On September 15, 2025, VF entered into a definitive agreement with Bluestar Alliance LLC to sell the Dickies® brand business (“Dickies”). On November 12, 2025, VF completed the sale of Dickies. Refer to Note 4 for additional information on the divestiture.
In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF realigned its reportable segments to reflect a change in how the Timberland® brand is managed and the chief operating decision maker's (“CODM”) key areas of focus. VF began managing its Timberland® and Timberland PRO® brands as one operating segment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. This operating segment has been aggregated with The North Face® brand in the Outdoor reportable segment and the Vans®, Kipling®, Eastpak® and Jansport® brands have been aggregated in the Active reportable segment. All other brands that have not been aggregated within the reportable segments described above, which do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment, have been grouped within an “All Other” category. This group includes the following brands: Dickies® (through the date of sale), Altra®, Smartwool®, Napapijri® and Icebreaker®.
Reportable segment results for all prior periods presented within these notes to the interim consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments. These changes had no impact on previously reported consolidated results of operations. Refer to Note 15 for additional information on VF's reportable segments.
On July 16, 2024, VF entered into a definitive Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with EssilorLuxottica S.A. to sell the Supreme® brand business (“Supreme”). On October 1, 2024, VF completed the sale of Supreme. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company determined that Supreme met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, VF has reported the results of Supreme and the related cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements, through the date of sale. These changes have been applied to all periods presented.
Unless otherwise noted, discussion within these notes to the interim consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. Refer to Note 4 for additional information on discontinued operations.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the Fiscal 2026 presentation.
The accompanying unaudited interim 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. Similarly, the March 2025 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim 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 and nine months ended December 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for Fiscal 2026. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in VF’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 29, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K”).
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
In preparing the interim consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including the impact of the imposed reciprocal tariffs on foreign imports by the U.S. government. The high level of uncertainty regarding these tariffs may result in estimates and assumptions that have the potential for more variability and are more subjective, including those applied in the Company's forecasted results of operations and cash flows, which are used in the determination of fair value for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing. While estimates and assumptions made by management are based upon currently available information, actual results could materially differ given the uncertainty of these factors and may require future changes to such estimates and assumptions.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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. Adopting this guidance is expected to expand VF's income tax disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which is intended to enhance expense disclosures by requiring additional disaggregation of certain costs and expenses, on an interim and annual basis, within the footnotes to the financial statements. The guidance will be effective for annual disclosures beginning in Fiscal 2028 and subsequent interim periods. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF's disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software”, which updates the accounting for internal-use software by replacing former stage-based rules with a principles-based framework. Entities will now capitalize costs associated with internal-use software only when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the intended function. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. The Company is evaluating the
impact that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements, which amends certain aspects of hedge accounting rules to more closely align with the economic results of risk management activities in the financial statements. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2028, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, an update that establishes authoritative guidance on the accounting for government grants received by business entities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2030, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements”, which is intended to clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 270 — Interim Reporting. The guidance is effective for interim periods beginning in Fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, “Codification Improvements”, which represents changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and apply. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2028, with early adoption permitted, but the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.
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:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable
data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. These inputs would normally be VF’s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
