VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC) today reported financial results for
its second quarter (Q2'FY25) ended September 28, 2024, and the
Company's Board of Directors authorized a quarterly per share
dividend of $0.09.
Bracken Darrell, President and CEO, said: "Our results in
the quarter met our expectations and reflect a sequential and
broad-based improvement in year-on-year trends. At the same time,
we made further progress on our four Reinvent priorities and we are
on track to reach our previously announced $300 million savings
target by the end of FY25. Following the completion of the Supreme
divestiture on October 1, 2024, we delivered on our commitment to
pay down VF’s $1 billion term loan due December 2024. Our Americas
regional platform is fully operational and showing promising signs,
while the performance at Vans is improving. In summary, we advanced
our turnaround plan towards a return to growth and strong,
sustainable value creation at VF."
Q2'FY25 Income Statement Review
- Results demonstrated broad-based year-over-year sequential
improvement relative to Q1'FY25, with all key metrics in line with,
or above the company's expectations
- Revenue $2.8 billion, down 6% vs. last year, an improvement vs.
Q1'FY25 down 10%
- The North Face® down 3% (down 4% in constant dollars) as
expected. This compares against a strong Q2'FY24 of up 19% (up 17%
in constant dollars)
- Vans® down 11% vs. last year, relative to Q1'FY25 down 21% vs.
last year
- Gross margin 52.2%, up 120 basis points vs. last year
- Operating margin 9.9%, down 210 basis points vs. last year;
adjusted operating margin down 60 basis points vs. last year to
11.4%
- Earnings (loss) per share (EPS) $0.52 vs. Q2'FY24 $(1.16);
adjusted EPS $0.60 vs. Q2'FY24 $0.63
Balance Sheet Review
- Q2'FY25 ending inventories down 13% relative to the prior
year
- Net debt at the end of Q2'FY25 was $5.7 billion, down by
approximately $446 million relative to last year. Shortly after the
fiscal quarter end, VF received $1.475 billion of net proceeds
following the close of the Supreme sale, allowing VF to further
reduce net debt.
Financial Outlook
- For Q3'FY25 VF expects the following on a continuing operations
basis:
- Revenue in the range of $2.7 billion to $2.75 billion, down 1%
to down 3% year-over-year in reported dollars, inclusive of an
expected negative FX impact of approximately 100 basis points
- Adjusted operating income in the range of $170 million to $200
million (Q3'FY24: $218 million)
- For FY25 VF expects free cash flow from continuing operations
plus proceeds from non-core physical asset sales of approximately
$425 million, with core fundamentals in line with previous
guidance. Relative to the original full year guidance of $600
million, the change reflects the sale of Supreme and additional
reinvestment initiatives in the second half of FY25, which are
partially offset by the greater than anticipated proceeds for
non-core physical asset sales.

Financial Presentation Disclosure
All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis. This
release refers to “reported” and “constant dollar” or “constant
currency” amounts, terms that are described under the heading below
“Constant Currency - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency.”
Unless otherwise noted, “reported” and “constant dollar” or
“constant currency” amounts are the same. This release also refers
to “continuing” and “discontinued” operations amounts, which are
concepts described under the heading “Discontinued Operations -
Supreme.” Unless otherwise noted, results presented are based on
continuing operations. This release also refers to “adjusted”
amounts, a term that is described under the heading below “Adjusted
Amounts - Excluding Reinvent and Transaction and Deal Related
Activities.” Unless otherwise noted, “reported” and “adjusted”
amounts are the same.
Discontinued Operations - Supreme
On July 16, 2024, VF entered into a definitive Stock and Asset
Purchase Agreement with EssilorLuxottica S.A. to sell the Supreme®
brand business (“Supreme”). On October 1, 2024, VF completed the
sale of Supreme. Accordingly, the company has reported the related
held-for-sale assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities of
discontinued operations and included the operating results and cash
flows of the business in discontinued operations for all periods
presented.
Constant Currency - Excluding the Impact of Foreign
Currency
This release refers to “reported” amounts in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which
include translation and transactional impacts from foreign currency
exchange rates. This release also refers to both “constant dollar”
and “constant currency” amounts, which exclude the impact of
translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. Reconciliations
of GAAP measures to constant currency amounts are presented in the
supplemental financial information included with this release,
which identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides
management’s view of why this information is useful to
investors.
Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Reinvent and Transaction and
Deal Related Activities
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude costs related to
Reinvent, VF's transformation program. Costs, including
restructuring charges and project-related costs, were approximately
$41 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and $59 million in
the first six months of fiscal 2025.
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude transaction and
deal related activities associated with the review of strategic
alternatives for the Global Packs business, consisting of the
Kipling®, Eastpak® and JanSport® brands. Total transaction and deal
related activities include costs of approximately $0.5 million in
the first six months of fiscal 2025.
Combined, the above items negatively impacted earnings per share
by $0.08 during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and $0.11 during
the first six months of fiscal 2025. All adjusted amounts
referenced herein exclude the effects of these amounts.
Reconciliations of measures calculated in accordance with GAAP
to adjusted amounts are presented in the supplemental financial
information included with this release, which identifies and
quantifies all excluded items, and provides management’s view of
why this information is useful to investors. The company also
provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we cannot predict certain
elements which are included in reported GAAP results. VF defines
free cash flow as cash flow from operations less capital
expenditures and software purchases and defines net debt as short
and long term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
Forward-looking Statements
Certain statements included in this release are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
Forward-looking statements are made based on VF's expectations and
beliefs concerning future events impacting VF and therefore involve
several risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements

"believe," “estimate,” “expect,” “should,” and “may” and other
words and terms of similar meaning or use of future dates, however,

Constant Currency Financial
Information
VF is a global company that reports
financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP.
Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts
reported by VF from translating its foreign revenues and expenses
into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant
effect on reported operating results. As a supplement to our
reported operating results, we present constant currency financial
information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes
the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We
use constant currency information to provide a framework to assess
how our business performed excluding the effects of changes in the
rates used to calculate foreign currency translation. Management
believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate
comparison of operating results and better identify trends in our
businesses.
To calculate foreign currency translation
on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current
year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average
exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior
year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the
current year period).
These constant currency performance
measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or
superior to, our operating performance measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP. The constant currency information presented
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by
other companies.

(a) Costs related to Reinvent, VF's
transformation program, including restructuring charges and
project-related costs, were $41.3 million and $59.1 million in the
three and six months ended September 2024, respectively. These
costs related primarily to severance and employee-related benefits
and expenses related to the engagement of a consulting firm to
support VF's transformation journey. VF entered into a contract
with a consulting firm during the three months ended September
2024, with services under the contract expected to be substantially
complete by the third quarter of Fiscal 2026. In addition to
payment for services, the contract includes contingent fees tied to
increases in VF's stock price through June 2027. Expenses related
to the contract, including contingent fees, were $28.1 million and
$31.1 million in the three and six months ended September 2024,
respectively. Reinvent resulted in a net tax benefit of $10.5
million and $14.7 million in the three and six months ended
September 2024, respectively.
The Company currently estimates that it
will incur approximately $190.0 million to $210.0 million in
restructuring charges in connection with Reinvent, and that
substantially all actions will be completed by the end of Fiscal
2025. Cumulative restructuring charges incurred through Q2 of
Fiscal 2025 were approximately $134.1 million. Total fees
associated with the contract with the consulting firm could be up
to $135.0 million, with $75.0 million of the fees contingent on
increases to VF’s stock price through June 2027.
(b) Transaction and deal related
activities reflect activities associated with the review of
strategic alternatives for the Global Packs business, consisting of
the Kipling®, Eastpak® and JanSport® brands,
which totaled $0.5 million for the six months ended September 2024.
The transaction and deal related activities resulted in a net tax
benefit of $0.1 million in the six months ended September 2024.
(c) Amounts shown in the table have been
calculated using unrounded numbers. The diluted earnings per share
impacts were calculated using 390,945,000 and 390,198,000 weighted
average common shares for the three and six months ended September
2024, respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The financial information above has been
presented on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis, which excludes
the impact of Reinvent and transaction and deal related activities.
The adjusted presentation provides non-GAAP measures. Management
believes these measures provide investors with useful supplemental
information regarding VF's underlying business trends and the
performance of VF's ongoing operations and are useful for
period-over-period comparisons of such operations.
Management uses the above financial
measures internally in its budgeting and review process and, in
some cases, as a factor in determining compensation. While
management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are
useful in evaluating the business, this information should be
considered as supplemental in nature and should be viewed in
addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, VF's operating
performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In
addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as
similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

(a) Transaction and deal related
activities reflect activities associated with the review of
strategic alternatives for the Global Packs business, consisting of
the Kipling®, Eastpak® and JanSport® brands,
which totaled $0.3 million and $1.4 million for the three and six
months ended September 2023, respectively. The transaction and deal
related activities resulted in a net tax benefit of $0.1 million
and $0.4 million in the three and six months ended September 2023,
respectively.
(b) Tax items include the impact to tax
expense resulting from the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the First Circuit on September 8, 2023 that upheld the U.S. Tax
Court’s decision in favor of the Internal Revenue Service regarding
the timing of income inclusion associated with VF’s acquisition of
The Timberland Company in September 2011. The net impact to tax
expense was an increase of approximately $670.3 million in the
three and six months ended September 2023, excluding the reversal
of accrued interest income, as a result of this decision. Tax items
also include the impact to tax expense resulting from the decision
by the General Court on September 20, 2023 that confirmed the
decision of the European Union that Belgium’s excess profit tax
regime amounted to illegal State aid. The net impact to tax expense
was an increase of approximately $26.1 million in the three and six
months ended September 2023, as a result of this ruling.
(c) Amounts shown in the table have been
calculated using unrounded numbers. The GAAP diluted loss per share
was calculated using 388,338,000 and 388,249,000 weighted average
common shares for the three and six months ended September 2023,
respectively. The adjusted diluted earnings per share impacts were
calculated using 389,487,000 and 389,181,000 weighted average
common shares for the three and six months ended September 2023,
respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The financial information above has been
