VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC) today announced financial results for its first quarter (Q1'FY24) ended July 1, 2023.
Q1'FY24 Financial Highlights
- Revenue down 8% to $2.1 billion
- Loss per share down 2% to $(0.15); adjusted loss per share $(0.15) vs. Q1'FY23 adjusted earnings per share $0.09
Bracken Darrell, President and CEO, said: “I am honored to lead this great company into the next chapter of its history. I am passionate about building brands through a design-and-innovation lens and creating unique and differentiated products, immersive storytelling and elevated experiences for consumers. VF has a portfolio of globally recognized, iconic brands, a deeply embedded purpose and impressive talent, all of which gives me every confidence we have all the necessary ingredients to unlock the company's significant potential and return to delivering strong, sustainable and profitable growth which will translate to elevated shareholder returns.”
Q1’FY24 Operating Highlights
- The North Face® delivered its 10th consecutive quarter of double-digit constant dollar revenue growth, up 12%
- Vans® down 22%, impacted by wholesale in the Americas (down 39% and down 40% in constant dollars) as the turnaround work continues at the brand
- Wholesale down 12%, including wholesale in the Americas down 18%
- Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) down 3% (down 2% in constant dollars) and up 6% excluding Vans® (up 7% in constant dollars)
-
International markets increased by 3% (up 4% in constant dollars)
- Greater China up 24% (up 31% in constant dollars), leading further improvement in the APAC region of up 13% (up 18% in constant dollars)
- EMEA revenue down 2% (down 3% in constant dollars), reflecting continued growth in DTC, but lower wholesale revenue
FY24 Outlook
- The company reiterates full year EPS guidance range of $2.05 to $2.25
- Revenue is now expected to be modestly down to flat for the year, reflecting ongoing weakness in our wholesale business and a longer than anticipated turnaround for Vans
- Free cash flow is expected to be in line with previous guidance of approximately $900 million
Matt Puckett, CFO, said: “While our Q1 performance is not reflective of our standards, we achieved our earnings target in the quarter. We remain focused on improving our operational execution, although it will take time for our revenue performance to benefit from actions that are underway. We are well positioned to advance our key priorities this year with an emphasis on increasing operating earnings through improved gross margins, generating healthy cash flow and reducing debt, all of which lead to a strengthened financial position.”

Financial Presentation Disclosure
All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis. This release refers to “reported” and “constant dollar” amounts, terms that are described under the heading below “Constant Currency - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency.” Unless otherwise noted, “reported” and “constant dollar” amounts are the same. This release also refers to “adjusted” amounts, a term that is described under the heading below “Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Transaction and Deal Related Activities.” Unless otherwise noted, “reported” and “adjusted” amounts are the same.
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 “constant dollar” 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 Transaction and Deal Related Activities
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 $1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
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.

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. |

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 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. |
