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, were $54.5 million and $105.4 million in the three and twelve months ended March 2024, respectively, related primarily to severance and employee-related benefits and the net impact of asset disposals and write-downs. Reinvent resulted in a net tax benefit of $9.2 million and $22.2 million in the three and twelve months ended March 2024, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(b) VF recognized noncash goodwill impairment charges related to the Timberland and Icebreaker reporting units of $211.7 million and $38.8 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 2024. During the twelve months ended March 2024, VF recognized noncash goodwill impairment charges related to the Timberland, Dickies and Icebreaker reporting units of $407.0 million, $61.8 million and $38.8 million, respectively. The impairment charges resulted in a net tax benefit of $1.1 million and $9.2 million in the three and twelve months ended March 2024, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(c) 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 twelve months ended March 2024, 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.
