Insights

Financial Analyst

VF 's Q1 FY25 results show continued challenges, with revenue down 9% to $1.9 billion. The company's flagship brands, The North Face and Vans, experienced declines of 3% and 21% respectively. However, there are some positive signs:

• The rate of decline has moderated compared to Q4
• The North Face's global DTC sales grew 6%
• Inventory levels decreased by 24%

The adjusted operating margin contracted by 360 basis points to -4.0%, reflecting deleverage and gross margin pressure. Despite challenges, VF reiterated its FY25 free cash flow guidance of approximately $600 million, excluding the impact of the Supreme divestiture. The maintained dividend of $0.09 per share suggests some confidence in future cash flows.

Market Research Analyst

VF's results reflect broader industry trends and consumer behavior shifts. The outperformance of DTC channels, particularly for The North Face, aligns with the ongoing shift towards direct-to-consumer sales in retail. However, Vans' 21% decline is concerning, indicating potential brand fatigue or increased competition in the casual footwear market.

The planned divestiture of Supreme is a strategic move to streamline operations and strengthen the balance sheet. This could allow VF to focus on revitalizing core brands like Vans and Timberland. The 8% growth in 'Other Brands' suggests potential in VF's smaller, possibly more niche offerings, which could be an area for future expansion and diversification.

Retail Industry Expert

VF's results highlight the challenges facing multi-brand apparel and footwear companies in the current retail environment. The divergence between The North Face's performance (especially in DTC) and Vans' decline underscores the importance of brand relevance and channel strategy. The 24% inventory reduction is significant, indicating improved supply chain management and potentially setting the stage for better margins in future quarters.

The company's 'Reinvent' transformation plan and cost-saving initiatives are critical given the current headwinds. However, the true test will be VF's ability to reignite growth across its brand portfolio, particularly for Vans. The upcoming holiday season will be important for VF to demonstrate progress in its turnaround efforts and regain investor confidence.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC) today reported financial results for its first quarter (Q1'FY25) ended June 29, 2024, announcing a quarterly per share dividend of $0.09.

Bracken Darrell, President and CEO, said: "As I complete my first year at VF, I feel more energized than ever. While the business is still down, the rate of decline moderated quarter-over-quarter versus Q4 and across almost all our brands. We advanced further on the Reinvent transformation plan. We are on track to deliver our targeted cost savings and we have addressed one of our top financial priorities to strengthen the balance sheet with the announced sale of Supreme. Together with the first-class leadership team I have built, we are confident we will continue to make progress to return to growth and drive strong, sustainable value creation at VF."

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 exit costs and project-related costs, were $17.8 million in the three months ended June 2024. These costs related primarily to severance and employee-related benefits. Reinvent resulted in a net tax benefit of $4.1 million in the three months ended June 2024.
(b) VF recognized noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of $145.0 million during the three months ended June 2024. The goodwill impairment charge related to the estimates of fair value subsequently confirmed by the transaction price in the definitive agreement for EssilorLuxottica to acquire the Supreme® brand business signed on July 16, 2024, and the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset impairment charge related to an increase in the market-based discount rate applied. The impairment charges resulted in a net tax benefit of $27.9 million in the three months ended June 2024.
(c) 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 three months ended June 2024.

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, impairment charges 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.
