Divestiture
Dickies
On September 15, 2025, VF entered into a definitive agreement with Bluestar Alliance LLC to sell Dickies for $600.0 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses. On November 12, 2025, VF completed the sale of Dickies and received proceeds of $600.5 million, net of cash sold. VF recorded a final pre-tax gain of $127.2 million in the year ended March 2026, which included a reduction to the gain to reflect final working capital adjustments of $11.9 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, which will be paid in Fiscal 2027. The pre-tax gain is included in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026.
The Company determined that the sale of Dickies did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the
Company's operations and financial results, and therefore did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation. The results of operations for Dickies through the date of sale are included within the “All Other” category in Note 21, Reportable Segment Information.
Under the terms of a transition services agreement, the Company is providing certain post-closing accounting, tax, treasury, digital technology, supply chain, legal, customer service and human resource services on a transitional basis for periods generally up to 12 months from the closing date of the transaction, with the option to extend certain services for up to two six-month extension periods.
Discontinued Operations
Supreme
On July 16, 2024, VF entered into a Purchase Agreement with EssilorLuxottica S.A. to sell Supreme for an aggregate base purchase price of $1.500 billion, subject to customary adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses as more fully set forth in the Purchase Agreement. On October 1, 2024, VF completed the sale of Supreme. VF received proceeds of $1.506 billion, net of cash sold, resulting in a final after-tax loss on sale of $126.6 million, which is included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2025. VF used a portion of the net cash proceeds to prepay $1.0 billion of its delayed draw Term Loan (“DDTL”) pursuant to the terms of the DDTL Agreement, as amended, which required repayment within ten business days of VF’s receipt of the net cash proceeds from the sale of Supreme, and to repay $450.0 million of commercial paper borrowings upon maturity during the third quarter of Fiscal 2025.
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company determined that Supreme met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, the Company 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.
The results of Supreme were previously reported in the Active segment. The results of Supreme recorded in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations were a loss of $259.0 million (including a final after-tax loss on sale of $126.6 million and goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $145.0 million) and income of $49.6 million for the years ended March 2025 and 2024, respectively.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, VF determined that a triggering event had occurred requiring impairment testing of the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded impairment charges of $94.0 million and $51.0 million to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset, respectively.
Under the terms of a transition services agreement, the Company provided certain post-closing accounting, tax, treasury, digital technology, supply chain and human resource services on a transitional basis for periods generally up to 12 months from the closing date of the transaction.
Certain corporate overhead costs and segment costs previously allocated to the Supreme brand for segment reporting purposes did not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been allocated to continuing operations. In addition, interest expense and the related interest rate swap impact for the DDTL were allocated to discontinued operations due to the requirement within the DDTL Agreement, as amended, that the DDTL be prepaid upon the receipt of the net cash proceeds from the sale of Supreme.
