Our purpose built portfolio of iconic, deeply-loved brands continues to benefit from tailwinds in the outdoor, active, streetwear and workwear spaces while we also actively address the near-term challenges at Vans, the ongoing COVID-related disruption in China, and the broader macro-economic and geopolitical headwinds, which have created tremendous uncertainty for all businesses and consumers. In the near term, in light of the challenging environment, we are acting proactively to generate increased revenue through the balance of the year while protecting profitability by tightly controlling all non-strategic spend. I am confident in our ability to deliver on our targets and to maximize the potential of all our brands when the environment improves. We will remain focused on the things we can control and will continue leveraging VF’s unique business model and competitive strengths to drive consistent, sustainable and profitable growth."

Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Income Statement Review Revenue decreased 4% (up 2% in constant dollars) to $3.1 billion driven by increases in the EMEA and APAC regions partially offset by lower sales in the Americas region. Gross margin decreased 230 basis points to 51.4%, primarily driven by higher costs and promotional activity partially offset by price increases.

COVID-19 Update To help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and in response to public health advisories and governmental actions and regulations, VF has modified its business practices in certain locations, including the temporary closing of offices and retail stores, instituting travel bans and restrictions and implementing health and safety measures including social distancing and quarantines. The majority of VF's supply chain is currently operational. Raw material suppliers in China are currently operational, though the 8-week lockdown in China during VF's first quarter resulted in logistics challenges which continue to contribute to ongoing product delays. Suppliers are complying with local public health advisories and governmental restrictions. Most final product manufacturing and assembly suppliers are largely back to normal operating levels. VF is working with its suppliers to minimize disruption and is employing expedited freight strategically as needed. VF's distribution centers are operational in accordance with local government guidelines while maintaining enhanced health and safety protocols. In North America, no stores were closed during the second quarter. Currently, all stores are open. In the EMEA region, no stores were closed during the second quarter due to COVID-19. Currently, all stores are open. In the APAC region, including Mainland China, no stores were closed at the beginning of the second quarter with a peak of 7% of stores (including partner doors) closed and an average of 3% of stores closed throughout the quarter. At the end of the second quarter, 4% of stores were closed and, as of today, 7% of stores are closed. VF is continuing to monitor the evolution of COVID-19 globally and will comply with guidance from government entities and public health authorities to prioritize the health and well-being of its employees, customers, trade partners and consumers. Balance Sheet Highlights Inventories were up 88% compared with the same period last year, partially driven by an increase of in-transit inventory of approximately $510 million as VF modified terms with the majority of its suppliers in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 to take ownership of inventory at point of shipment rather than destination. Accounts payable increased 91%, which was largely driven by the increase of in-transit inventory. VF returned approximately $194 million of cash to shareholders through dividends during the quarter. Dividend Declared VF’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.51 per share, reflecting a 2% increase over the previous quarter’s dividend. This dividend will be payable on December 20, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 12, 2022. Subject to approval by its Board of Directors, VF intends to continue to pay its regularly scheduled cash dividend.

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. Discontinued Operations - Occupational Workwear Business On June 28, 2021, VF completed the sale of its Occupational Workwear business. The Occupational Workwear business was comprised primarily of the following brands and businesses: Red Kap®, VF Solutions®, Bulwark®, Workrite®, Walls®, Terra®, Kodiak®, Work Authority® and Horace Small®. The business also included a license for certain Dickies® occupational workwear products that were historically sold through the business-to-business channel. Accordingly, the company has reported the operating results and cash flows of the business in discontinued operations for all periods through the date of sale. Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Transaction and Deal Related Activities, Costs Related to Specified Strategic Business Decisions, Noncash Impairment Charges and Pension Settlement Charge The adjusted amounts in this release exclude transaction and deal related activities associated with the acquisition of the Supreme® brand. Total transaction and deal related activities include integration costs of approximately $0.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023. The adjusted amounts in this release exclude costs related to VF's business model transformation primarily driven by Corporate actions and resulting restructuring costs, and a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations. Total costs were approximately $48 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and $61 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023. The adjusted amounts in this release exclude noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme® reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of approximately $422 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023. The impairment charges were driven by non-operating factors including higher interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. The adjusted amounts in this release exclude a noncash pension settlement charge. The pension settlement charge resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract, which was an action taken to streamline administration, manage financial risk associated with pension plans, and to transfer a portion of the liability associated with VF's U.S. pension plan to an insurance company. Total expense was approximately $92 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023. Combined, the above items negatively impacted earnings per share by $1.04 during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and $1.26 during the first six months of fiscal 2023. 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. Additionally, the impact of the payment of taxes and interest related to the dispute with the IRS regarding the Timberland acquisition in 2011 has been excluded from fiscal 2023 adjusted cash flow from operations.

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).

(b) Specified strategic business decisions include costs related to VF's business model transformation of $45.2 million and $51.2 million during the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively, related primarily to Corporate actions and resulting restructuring costs. Specified strategic business decisions also include costs related to a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations of $2.4 million and $10.2 million in the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively. The specified strategic business decisions resulted in a net tax benefit of $10.1 million and $12.3 million in the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively. (c) VF recognized noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of $421.9 million during the three and six months ended September 2022. The impairment charges were driven by non-operating factors including higher interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. A noncash pension settlement charge of $91.8 million was recorded in the Other income (expense), net line item during the six months ended September 2022. The pension settlement charge resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract, which was an action taken to streamline administration, manage financial risk associated with pension plans, and to transfer a portion of the liability associated with VF's U.S. pension plan to an insurance company. The impairment and pension settlement charges resulted in a net tax benefit of $58.6 million and $72.4 million in the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively.

The GAAP diluted earnings per share was calculated using 387,688,000 and 387,625,000 weighted average common shares for the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively. The adjusted diluted earnings per share impacts were calculated using 388,483,000 and 388,439,000 weighted average common shares for the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively.

Our purpose built portfolio of iconic, deeply-loved brands continues to benefit from tailwinds in the outdoor, active, streetwear and workwear spaces while we also actively address the near-term challenges at Vans, the ongoing COVID-related disruption in China, and the broader macro-economic and geopolitical headwinds, which have created tremendous uncertainty for all businesses and consumers. In the near term, in light of the challenging environment, we are acting proactively to generate increased revenue through the balance of the year while protecting profitability by tightly controlling all non-strategic spend. I am confident in our ability to deliver on our targets and to maximize the potential of all our brands when the environment improves. We will remain focused on the things we can control and will continue leveraging VF’s unique business model and competitive strengths to drive consistent, sustainable and profitable growth."

Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Income Statement Review Revenue decreased 4% (up 2% in constant dollars) to $3.1 billion driven by increases in the EMEA and APAC regions partially offset by lower sales in the Americas region. Gross margin decreased 230 basis points to 51.4%, primarily driven by higher costs and promotional activity partially offset by price increases. On an adjusted basis, gross margin decreased 240 basis points to 51.5%. Operating income (loss) on a reported basis was $(90.8) million. Operating margin on a reported basis was (2.9)%. On an adjusted basis, operating income decreased 29% (down 22% in constant dollars) to $378.7 million. Adjusted operating margin decreased 440 basis points to 12.3%. Earnings (loss) per share was $(0.31) on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share decreased 34% (down 27% in constant dollars) to $0.73. COVID-19 Update To help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and in response to public health advisories and governmental actions and regulations, VF has modified its business practices in certain locations, including the temporary closing of offices and retail stores, instituting travel bans and restrictions and implementing health and safety measures including social distancing and quarantines. The majority of VF's supply chain is currently operational. Raw material suppliers in China are currently operational, though the 8-week lockdown in China during VF's first quarter resulted in logistics challenges which continue to contribute to ongoing product delays. Suppliers are complying with local public health advisories and governmental restrictions. Most final product manufacturing and assembly suppliers are largely back to normal operating levels. VF is working with its suppliers to minimize disruption and is employing expedited freight strategically as needed. VF's distribution centers are operational in accordance with local government guidelines while maintaining enhanced health and safety protocols. In North America, no stores were closed during the second quarter. Currently, all stores are open. In the EMEA region, no stores were closed during the second quarter due to COVID-19. Currently, all stores are open. In the APAC region, including Mainland China, no stores were closed at the beginning of the second quarter with a peak of 7% of stores (including partner doors) closed and an average of 3% of stores closed throughout the quarter. At the end of the second quarter, 4% of stores were closed and, as of today, 7% of stores are closed. VF is continuing to monitor the evolution of COVID-19 globally and will comply with guidance from government entities and public health authorities to prioritize the health and well-being of its employees, customers, trade partners and consumers. Balance Sheet Highlights Inventories were up 88% compared with the same period last year, partially driven by an increase of in-transit inventory of approximately $510 million as VF modified terms with the majority of its suppliers in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 to take ownership of inventory at point of shipment rather than destination. Accounts payable increased 91%, which was largely driven by the increase of in-transit inventory. VF returned approximately $194 million of cash to shareholders through dividends during the quarter. Dividend Declared VF’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.51 per share, reflecting a 2% increase over the previous quarter’s dividend. This dividend will be payable on December 20, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 12, 2022. Subject to approval by its Board of Directors, VF intends to continue to pay its regularly scheduled cash dividend.

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. Discontinued Operations - Occupational Workwear Business On June 28, 2021, VF completed the sale of its Occupational Workwear business. The Occupational Workwear business was comprised primarily of the following brands and businesses: Red Kap®, VF Solutions®, Bulwark®, Workrite®, Walls®, Terra®, Kodiak®, Work Authority® and Horace Small®. The business also included a license for certain Dickies® occupational workwear products that were historically sold through the business-to-business channel. Accordingly, the company has reported the operating results and cash flows of the business in discontinued operations for all periods through the date of sale. Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Transaction and Deal Related Activities, Costs Related to Specified Strategic Business Decisions, Noncash Impairment Charges and Pension Settlement Charge The adjusted amounts in this release exclude transaction and deal related activities associated with the acquisition of the Supreme® brand. Total transaction and deal related activities include integration costs of approximately $0.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023. The adjusted amounts in this release exclude costs related to VF's business model transformation primarily driven by Corporate actions and resulting restructuring costs, and a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations. Total costs were approximately $48 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and $61 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023. The adjusted amounts in this release exclude noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme® reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of approximately $422 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023. The impairment charges were driven by non-operating factors including higher interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. The adjusted amounts in this release exclude a noncash pension settlement charge. The pension settlement charge resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract, which was an action taken to streamline administration, manage financial risk associated with pension plans, and to transfer a portion of the liability associated with VF's U.S. pension plan to an insurance company. Total expense was approximately $92 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023. Combined, the above items negatively impacted earnings per share by $1.04 during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and $1.26 during the first six months of fiscal 2023. 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. Additionally, the impact of the payment of taxes and interest related to the dispute with the IRS regarding the Timberland acquisition in 2011 has been excluded from fiscal 2023 adjusted cash flow from operations.

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.

The transaction and deal related activities resulted in a net tax benefit of $0.1 million in the six months ended September 2022. (b) Specified strategic business decisions include costs related to VF's business model transformation of $45.2 million and $51.2 million during the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively, related primarily to Corporate actions and resulting restructuring costs. Specified strategic business decisions also include costs related to a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations of $2.4 million and $10.2 million in the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively. The specified strategic business decisions resulted in a net tax benefit of $10.1 million and $12.3 million in the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively. (c) VF recognized noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of $421.9 million during the three and six months ended September 2022. The impairment charges were driven by non-operating factors including higher interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. A noncash pension settlement charge of $91.8 million was recorded in the Other income (expense), net line item during the six months ended September 2022. The pension settlement charge resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract, which was an action taken to streamline administration, manage financial risk associated with pension plans, and to transfer a portion of the liability associated with VF's U.S. pension plan to an insurance company. The impairment and pension settlement charges resulted in a net tax benefit of $58.6 million and $72.4 million in the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively. (d) Amounts shown in the table have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The GAAP diluted earnings per share was calculated using 387,688,000 and 387,625,000 weighted average common shares for the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively. The adjusted diluted earnings per share impacts were calculated using 388,483,000 and 388,439,000 weighted average common shares for the three and six months ended September 2022, 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 transaction and deal related activities, activity related to specified strategic business decisions, impairment and a pension settlement charge. 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.

The transaction and deal related activities resulted in a net tax benefit of $1.2 million and net tax expense of $8.3 million in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, primarily related to the impact of the decreases in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability on the interim tax rate calculations. (b) Specified strategic business decisions for the three and six months ended September 2021 include costs related to VF's business model transformation of $0.2 million and $1.7 million in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, related primarily to restructuring and other costs. Specified strategic business decisions also include costs related to a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations of $13.3 million and $21.8 million in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. Specified strategic business decisions also include cost optimization charges and other activities, including the sale of certain assets, indirectly related to the divestiture of the Occupational Workwear business, which totaled income of $3.8 million and costs of $0.4 million during the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. The specified strategic business decisions also include non-operating income of $1.7 million during the three and six months ended September 2021 associated with VF's transformation initiatives. The specified strategic business decisions resulted in a net tax benefit of $1.0 million and $3.2 million in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively. (c) Amounts shown in the table have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The diluted earnings per share impacts were calculated using 394,017,000 and 394,072,000 weighted average common shares for the three and six months ended September 2021, 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 transaction and deal related costs and activity related to specified strategic business decisions. 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.

Our purpose built portfolio of iconic, deeply-loved brands continues to benefit from tailwinds in the outdoor, active, streetwear and workwear spaces while we also actively address the near-term challenges at Vans, the ongoing COVID-related disruption in China, and the broader macro-economic and geopolitical headwinds, which have created tremendous uncertainty for all businesses and consumers. In the near term, in light of the challenging environment, we are acting proactively to generate increased revenue through the balance of the year while protecting profitability by tightly controlling all non-strategic spend. I am confident in our ability to deliver on our targets and to maximize the potential of all our brands when the environment improves. We will remain focused on the things we can control and will continue leveraging VF’s unique business model and competitive strengths to drive consistent, sustainable and profitable growth."

Note: Amounts may not sum due to rounding (a) Royalty revenues are included in the wholesale channel for all periods. 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 “continuing” and “discontinued” operations amounts, which are concepts described under the heading below “Discontinued Operations - Occupational Workwear Business.” 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 Transaction and Deal Related Activities, Costs Related to Specified Strategic Business Decisions, Noncash Impairment Charges and Pension Settlement Charge.” Unless otherwise noted, “reported” and “adjusted” amounts are the same. Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Income Statement Review Revenue decreased 4% (up 2% in constant dollars) to $3.1 billion driven by increases in the EMEA and APAC regions partially offset by lower sales in the Americas region. Gross margin decreased 230 basis points to 51.4%, primarily driven by higher costs and promotional activity partially offset by price increases. On an adjusted basis, gross margin decreased 240 basis points to 51.5%. Operating income (loss) on a reported basis was $(90.8) million. Operating margin on a reported basis was (2.9)%. On an adjusted basis, operating income decreased 29% (down 22% in constant dollars) to $378.7 million. Adjusted operating margin decreased 440 basis points to 12.3%. Earnings (loss) per share was $(0.31) on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share decreased 34% (down 27% in constant dollars) to $0.73. COVID-19 Update To help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and in response to public health advisories and governmental actions and regulations, VF has modified its business practices in certain locations, including the temporary closing of offices and retail stores, instituting travel bans and restrictions and implementing health and safety measures including social distancing and quarantines. The majority of VF's supply chain is currently operational. Raw material suppliers in China are currently operational, though the 8-week lockdown in China during VF's first quarter resulted in logistics challenges which continue to contribute to ongoing product delays. Suppliers are complying with local public health advisories and governmental restrictions. Most final product manufacturing and assembly suppliers are largely back to normal operating levels. VF is working with its suppliers to minimize disruption and is employing expedited freight strategically as needed. VF's distribution centers are operational in accordance with local government guidelines while maintaining enhanced health and safety protocols. In North America, no stores were closed during the second quarter. Currently, all stores are open. In the EMEA region, no stores were closed during the second quarter due to COVID-19. Currently, all stores are open. In the APAC region, including Mainland China, no stores were closed at the beginning of the second quarter with a peak of 7% of stores (including partner doors) closed and an average of 3% of stores closed throughout the quarter. At the end of the second quarter, 4% of stores were closed and, as of today, 7% of stores are closed. VF is continuing to monitor the evolution of COVID-19 globally and will comply with guidance from government entities and public health authorities to prioritize the health and well-being of its employees, customers, trade partners and consumers. Balance Sheet Highlights Inventories were up 88% compared with the same period last year, partially driven by an increase of in-transit inventory of approximately $510 million as VF modified terms with the majority of its suppliers in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 to take ownership of inventory at point of shipment rather than destination. Accounts payable increased 91%, which was largely driven by the increase of in-transit inventory. VF returned approximately $194 million of cash to shareholders through dividends during the quarter. Dividend Declared VF’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.51 per share, reflecting a 2% increase over the previous quarter’s dividend. This dividend will be payable on December 20, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 12, 2022. Subject to approval by its Board of Directors, VF intends to continue to pay its regularly scheduled cash dividend.

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. Discontinued Operations - Occupational Workwear Business On June 28, 2021, VF completed the sale of its Occupational Workwear business. The Occupational Workwear business was comprised primarily of the following brands and businesses: Red Kap®, VF Solutions®, Bulwark®, Workrite®, Walls®, Terra®, Kodiak®, Work Authority® and Horace Small®. The business also included a license for certain Dickies® occupational workwear products that were historically sold through the business-to-business channel. Accordingly, the company has reported the operating results and cash flows of the business in discontinued operations for all periods through the date of sale. Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Transaction and Deal Related Activities, Costs Related to Specified Strategic Business Decisions, Noncash Impairment Charges and Pension Settlement Charge The adjusted amounts in this release exclude transaction and deal related activities associated with the acquisition of the Supreme® brand. Total transaction and deal related activities include integration costs of approximately $0.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023. The adjusted amounts in this release exclude costs related to VF's business model transformation primarily driven by Corporate actions and resulting restructuring costs, and a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations. Total costs were approximately $48 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and $61 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023. The adjusted amounts in this release exclude noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme® reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of approximately $422 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023. The impairment charges were driven by non-operating factors including higher interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. The adjusted amounts in this release exclude a noncash pension settlement charge. The pension settlement charge resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract, which was an action taken to streamline administration, manage financial risk associated with pension plans, and to transfer a portion of the liability associated with VF's U.S. pension plan to an insurance company. Total expense was approximately $92 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023. Combined, the above items negatively impacted earnings per share by $1.04 during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and $1.26 during the first six months of fiscal 2023. 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. Additionally, the impact of the payment of taxes and interest related to the dispute with the IRS regarding the Timberland acquisition in 2011 has been excluded from fiscal 2023 adjusted cash flow from operations.

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.

The transaction and deal related activities resulted in a net tax benefit of $0.1 million in the six months ended September 2022. (b) Specified strategic business decisions include costs related to VF's business model transformation of $45.2 million and $51.2 million during the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively, related primarily to Corporate actions and resulting restructuring costs. Specified strategic business decisions also include costs related to a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations of $2.4 million and $10.2 million in the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively. The specified strategic business decisions resulted in a net tax benefit of $10.1 million and $12.3 million in the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively. (c) VF recognized noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of $421.9 million during the three and six months ended September 2022. The impairment charges were driven by non-operating factors including higher interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. A noncash pension settlement charge of $91.8 million was recorded in the Other income (expense), net line item during the six months ended September 2022. The pension settlement charge resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract, which was an action taken to streamline administration, manage financial risk associated with pension plans, and to transfer a portion of the liability associated with VF's U.S. pension plan to an insurance company. The impairment and pension settlement charges resulted in a net tax benefit of $58.6 million and $72.4 million in the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively. (d) Amounts shown in the table have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The GAAP diluted earnings per share was calculated using 387,688,000 and 387,625,000 weighted average common shares for the three and six months ended September 2022, respectively. The adjusted diluted earnings per share impacts were calculated using 388,483,000 and 388,439,000 weighted average common shares for the three and six months ended September 2022, 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 transaction and deal related activities, activity related to specified strategic business decisions, impairment and a pension settlement charge. 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.

The transaction and deal related activities resulted in a net tax benefit of $1.2 million and net tax expense of $8.3 million in the three and six months ended September 2021, respectively, primarily related to the impact of the decreases in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability on the interim tax rate calculations.
