Insights

Financial Analyst

VF Corp's Q2 FY25 shows concerning performance with $2.8 billion revenue declining 6% year-over-year. Key brands struggled, with Vans down 11% and The North Face down 3%. Despite gross margin improvement of 1.2%, operating margin declined 2.1% to 9.9%.

The Supreme divestiture provided $1.475 billion in proceeds, helping reduce the $5.7 billion net debt. While inventory management improved with 13% reduction, Q3 guidance suggests continued challenges with projected revenue decline of 1-3%. The dividend cut to $0.09 per share reflects financial pressure. The $300 million cost savings target and restructuring efforts indicate a company in defensive mode.

Market Research Analyst

The regional performance reveals deeper market challenges. Americas, VF's largest market, declined 10%, while EMEA dropped 3%. Only APAC showed growth at 6%, but its smaller scale ($392.5 million) can't offset broader weakness. The DTC channel's 8% decline is particularly concerning, suggesting brand relevance issues.

The revised free cash flow guidance of $425 million, down from $600 million, indicates underlying operational challenges beyond the Supreme sale. The sequential improvement in Vans (from -21% to -11%) shows stabilization but remains significantly negative, highlighting the brand's ongoing recovery challenges.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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.

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.
