Corporation\n\nManagement’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting\n\nManagement of V.F. Corporation (“VF”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). VF’s management conducted an assessment of VF's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework described in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, VF’s management has determined that VF’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 28, 2026.\n\nThe effectiveness of VF’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 28, 2026 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.\n\nF-2 VF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nReport of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm\n\nTo the Board of Directors and Stockholders of V. F. Corporation\n\nOpinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting\n\nWe have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of V.F. Corporation and its subsidiaries (the \"Company\") as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 28, 2026, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended March 28, 2026, appearing under Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 28, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).\n\nIn our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 28, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 28, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.\n\nBasis for Opinions\n\nThe Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.\n\nWe conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.\n\nOur audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.\n\nDefinition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting\n\nA company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.\n\nBecause of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.\n\nCritical Audit Matters\n\nThe critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.\n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-3\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nGoodwill Impairment Assessment – Vans Reporting Unit\n\nAs described in Notes 1, 9, and 24 to the consolidated financial statements, the goodwill balance was $587.7 million as of March 28, 2026, and the goodwill associated with the Vans reporting unit was $166.9 million. Management evaluates goodwill for possible impairment as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of such assets may be below their carrying amount. If management determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is more than its carrying value, then no further testing is required. Otherwise, the asset must be quantitatively tested for impairment. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. During the annual goodwill impairment testing, management performed a quantitative impairment analysis of the Vans reporting unit goodwill and concluded the goodwill was not impaired. Management estimates the fair value of reporting units using a combination of an income approach and a market approach. The income approach is based on projected future (debt-free) cash flows that are discounted to present value. Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Vans reporting unit include revenue and profitability projections throughout the forecast period, tax rates, and a market-based discount rate.\n\nThe principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of the Vans reporting unit is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the Vans reporting unit; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to revenue projections and the discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.\n\nAddressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the Vans reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the Vans reporting unit; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the income approach used by management; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the income approach; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to revenue projections and the discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumption related to revenue projections involved evaluating whether the assumption used by management was reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the Vans reporting unit; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumption was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the income approach and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate assumption.\n\n/s/

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES\n\nDescription of Business\n\nVF Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, collectively known as “VF” or the “Company”) is a global apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories company headquartered in the United States. VF designs, procures, markets and distributes a variety of branded products, including apparel, footwear, backpacks, luggage, equipment and accessories for consumers of all ages. Products are marketed under VF-owned brand names.\n\nBasis of Presentation\n\nThe consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VF and its controlled subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances.\n\nOn September 15, 2025, VF entered into a definitive agreement with Bluestar Alliance LLC to sell the Dickies® brand business (“Dickies”). On November 12, 2025, VF completed the sale of Dickies. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on the divestiture.\n\nIn the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF realigned its reportable segments to reflect a change in how the Timberland® brand is managed and the chief operating decision maker's (“CODM”) key areas of focus. VF began managing its Timberland® and Timberland PRO® brands as one operating segment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. This operating segment has been aggregated with The North Face® brand in the Outdoor reportable segment and the Vans®, Kipling®, Eastpak® and Jansport® brands have been aggregated in the Active reportable segment. All other brands that have not been aggregated within the reportable segments described above, which do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment, have been grouped within an “All Other” category. This group includes the following brands: Dickies® (through the date of sale), Altra®, Smartwool®, Napapijri® and Icebreaker®.\n\nReportable segment results for all prior periods presented within these notes to the consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments. These changes had no impact on previously reported consolidated results of operations. Refer to Note 21 for additional information on VF's reportable segments.\n\nOn July 16, 2024, VF entered into a definitive Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with EssilorLuxottica S.A. to sell the Supreme® brand business (“Supreme”). On October 1, 2024, VF completed the sale of Supreme. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company determined that Supreme met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, VF has reported the results of Supreme and the related cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements, through the date of sale. These changes have been applied to all periods presented.\n\nUnless otherwise noted, discussion within these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing\n\noperations. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on discontinued operations.\n\nFiscal Year\n\nVF operates and reports using a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. VF's current fiscal year ran from March 30, 2025 through March 28, 2026 (“Fiscal 2026”). All references to the periods ended March 2026, March 2025 and March 2024 relate to the 52-week fiscal years ended March 28, 2026, March 29, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”) and March 30, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”), respectively. Certain foreign subsidiaries reported using a March 31 year-end for Fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024 due to local statutory requirements. The impact to VF's consolidated financial statements is not material.\n\nUse of Estimates\n\nIn preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties. While estimates and assumptions made by management are based upon currently available information, actual results could materially differ given the uncertainty of these factors and may require future changes to such estimates and assumptions.\n\nChanges in Laws and Regulations\n\nVF recognizes the financial effects of changes in laws or regulations in the period in which the Company obtains a legal right to the related asset or incurs a legal obligation for the related liability. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Power Act (“IEEPA”) were deemed invalid. Further, on March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade ruled that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) must refund IEEPA tariffs that were collected, with interest. As a result, VF recorded a tariff refund receivable of $149.7 million related to tariffs paid under IEEPA from April 2025 until February 20, 2026. Interest is not included due to the uncertainty of the amount but is not believed to be material. On April 20, 2026, approximately $57 million of IEEPA entries were submitted for refund processing. Submission and processing of the remaining IEEPA tariffs is subject to finalization of the process for the next phase of refunds by CBP. VF will re-evaluate its assessment at each reporting period based on any new information.\n\nThe tariff refund receivable is included in the accounts receivable, net line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 2026. Refunds related to inventory that has been sold are recognized as a reduction to cost of goods sold and refunds related to inventory on hand are recognized as a reduction to the carrying amount of inventory. For the year ended March 2026, VF recognized $93.8 million as a reduction to cost of goods sold. As of March 2026, $55.9 million is recorded as a reduction to inventory and will be recognized as a decrease in cost of goods sold as the inventory turns.\n\nAlso, VF recorded a liability of $37.6 million as of March 2026, reflecting the portion of the refund that VF has committed to\n\nF-12 VF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nreimburse certain vendors and partners, which is included in the accounts payable line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the year ended March 2026, VF recognized $22.7 million as an increase to cost of goods sold and $14.9 million as an increase to inventory. Amounts that are deferred into inventory will be recognized as an increase in the cost of goods sold as the inventory turns. Reimbursements will not be made to vendors and partners until after collection of the applicable IEEPA refunds.\n\nForeign Currency Translation and Transactions\n\nThe financial statements of most foreign subsidiaries are measured using the foreign currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Resulting translation gains and losses, and transaction gains and losses on long-term advances to foreign subsidiaries, are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).\n\nForeign currency transactions are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a particular entity. These transactions generally result in receivables or payables that are fixed in the foreign currency. Transaction gains or losses arise when exchange rate fluctuations either increase or decrease the functional currency cash flows from the originally recorded transaction. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, were a net gain of $4.1 million, and a net loss of $14.0 million and $15.7 million in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.\n\nBusiness Combinations\n\nVF accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, the consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the closing date of the acquisition. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. VF allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration, if any, is included within the purchase price and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. In subsequent reporting periods, any contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured at fair value with changes recognized in operating income (loss). During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be recorded, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.\n\nCash and Cash Equivalents\n\nCash and cash equivalents are demand deposits, receivables from third-party credit card processors and highly liquid investments that mature within three months of their purchase dates. Highly liquid investments considered cash equivalents were $211.1 million and $91.8 million at March 2026 and 2025, respectively, consisting of money market funds and short-term time deposits.\n\nAccounts Receivable\n\nTrade accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, less contractual allowances for trade terms, sales incentive programs and discounts. Royalty receivables are recorded at amounts earned based on the licensees' sales of licensed products, subject in some cases to contractual minimum royalties due from individual licensees. VF maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that will result from the inability of customers and licensees to make required payments. The allowance is determined based on review of specific customer accounts where collection is doubtful, as well as an assessment of the collectability of total receivables, which are grouped based on similar risk characteristics, considering historical trends, adjusted for current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts when appropriate. The allowance represents the current estimate of lifetime expected credit losses for all outstanding accounts receivable and reflects the Company's ongoing evaluation of collectability, customer creditworthiness, historical levels of credit losses and future expectations. Receivables are written off against the allowance when it is determined that the amounts will not be recovered.\n\nInventories\n\nInventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method, includes all costs incurred to purchase the finished goods and is net of discounts or rebates received from vendors. A detailed review of all inventories is performed, at least quarterly, to identify slow moving or excess products, discontinued and to-be-discontinued products, off-quality merchandise and other specific or unique situations. Management performs an evaluation to estimate net realizable value using a systematic and consistent methodology of forecasting future demand, market conditions and selling prices less costs of disposal. If the estimated net realizable value is less than cost, VF provides an allowance to reflect the lower value of that inventory. This methodology recognizes inventory exposures at the time such losses are evident rather than at the time goods are actually sold. Historically, these estimates of future demand and selling prices have not varied significantly from actual results due to VF’s timely identification and ability to typically dispose of these distressed inventories at amounts either above or not significantly below cost.\n\nExistence of physical inventory is verified through periodic physical inventory counts and ongoing cycle counts at most locations throughout the year, and an estimate of inventory losses that have likely occurred since the last physical inventory date is recorded. Historically, physical inventory shrinkage has not been material.\n\nLong-lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets and Goodwill\n\nProperty, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill are initially recorded at cost. VF capitalizes improvements to property, plant and equipment that substantially extend the useful life of the asset, and interest cost incurred during construction of major assets. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.\n\nCost for acquired intangible assets represents the fair value at acquisition date, which is generally based on the present value of expected cash flows. Trademark intangible assets represent\n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-13\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nindividual acquired trademarks, some of which are registered in multiple countries. Customer relationship intangible assets are based on the value of relationships with wholesale customers in place at the time of acquisition.\n\nGoodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquired business over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is assigned at the reporting unit level.\n\nDepreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment and up to 40 years for buildings. Amortization expense for leasehold improvements and assets under finance leases is recognized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease terms, and is included in depreciation expense. Depreciation is ceased on assets that meet the held-for-sale criteria and they are measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less costs of disposal.\n\nIntangible assets determined to have indefinite lives, consisting of major trademarks and trade names, are not amortized. Other intangible assets determined to have a finite life primarily consist of customer relationships, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from 11 to 24 years using an accelerated method consistent with the timing of benefits expected to be received.\n\nDepreciation and amortization expense related to obtaining finished goods inventories is included in cost of goods sold, and other depreciation and amortization expense is included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.\n\nVF’s policy is to review property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If forecasted pre-tax undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset are not expected to recover the asset’s carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value.\n\nVF’s policy is to evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for possible impairment as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of such assets may be below their carrying amount. VF may first assess qualitative factors as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. If VF determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an asset or reporting unit is more than its carrying value, then no further testing is required. Otherwise, the assets must be quantitatively tested for impairment.\n\nAn indefinite-lived intangible asset is quantitatively evaluated for possible impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of the asset with its carrying value. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value.\n\nGoodwill is quantitatively evaluated for possible impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including the goodwill assigned to that reporting\n\nunit. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value.\n\nLeases\n\nVF determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception and determines its classification as an operating or finance lease at lease commencement. The Company leases certain retail locations, office space, distribution facilities, machinery and equipment, and vehicles. All of these leases are operating leases. VF previously had one finance lease for a distribution center that was sold in Fiscal 2026 as part of the Dickies divestiture.\n\nLeases for real estate typically have initial terms ranging from 2 to 15 years, generally with renewal options. Leases for equipment typically have initial terms ranging from 2 to 5 years and vehicle leases typically have initial terms ranging from 1 to 6 years. In determining the lease term used in the lease right-of-use asset and lease liability calculations, the Company considers various factors such as market conditions and the terms of any renewal or termination options that may exist. When deemed reasonably certain, the renewal and termination options are included in the determination of the lease term and calculation of the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or less.\n\nMost leases have fixed rental payments. Many of the real estate leases also require additional variable payments for occupancy-related costs, real estate taxes and insurance, as well as other payments (i.e., contingent rent) owed when sales at individual retail store locations exceed a stated base amount. Variable lease payments are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability and are recognized in profit and loss in the period in which the event or conditions that triggers those payments occur.\n\nCertain leases contain both lease and non-lease components. For leases associated with specific asset classes, including certain real estate, vehicles and IT equipment, VF has elected the practical expedient which permits entities to account for separate lease and non-lease components as a single component. For all other lease contracts, the Company accounts for each lease component separately from the non-lease components of the contract. When applicable, VF will measure the consideration to be paid pursuant to the agreement and allocate this consideration to the lease and non-lease components based on relative standalone prices.\n\nVF estimates the amount it expects to pay to the lessor under a residual value guarantee and includes it in lease payments used to measure the lease liability only for amounts probable of being owed by VF at the commencement date.\n\nVF calculates lease liabilities as the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Lease right-of-use assets are calculated based on the initial measurement of the respective lease liabilities adjusted for any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. When readily determinable, the Company uses the implicit rate to determine the present value of lease\n\nF-14 VF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\npayments, which generally does not happen in practice. As the rate implicit in the majority of the Company's leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term, currency, country specific risk premium and adjustments for collateralized debt.\n\nOperating lease expense is recorded as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, right-of-use asset amortization and interest on lease liabilities are presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. VF previously had one finance lease for a distribution center that was sold in Fiscal 2026 as part of the Dickies divestiture. The Company does not have material subleases.\n\nThe Company assesses whether a sale leaseback transaction qualifies as a sale when the transaction occurs. For transactions qualifying as a sale, VF derecognizes the underlying asset and recognizes the entire gain or loss at the time of the sale. The corresponding lease entered into with the buyer-lessor is accounted for as an operating lease. During the year ended March 2025, the Company entered into sale leaseback transactions for certain warehouse and retail store real estate, and related assets. The transactions qualified as sales, and thus the Company recognized gains of $17.4 million in the SG&A expenses line item in VF's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2025.\n\nDefined Benefit Pension Plans\n\nVF sponsors various defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. and in certain international jurisdictions. The Company's U.S. plans, including a noncontributory qualified defined benefit pension plan (the “U.S. qualified plan”) and an unfunded supplemental defined benefit pension plan (the “U.S. nonqualified plan”), were frozen for all future benefit accruals, effective December 31, 2018. In May 2025, VF executed a resolution to terminate the U.S. qualified plan and in February 2026, the Company completed the termination of the plan through a combination of lump-sum payments to eligible participants and the purchase of group annuity contracts to settle the remaining benefit obligations.\n\nThe funded status of defined benefit pension plans is recorded as a net asset or liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the difference between the projected benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets, which is assessed on a plan-by-plan basis. The changes in funded status of defined benefit pension plans, primarily related to actuarial gains and losses arising from differences between actual experience and actuarial assumptions, are recognized in the year in which the changes occur and reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).\n\nVF reports the service component of net periodic pension cost within operating income (loss) and the other components of net periodic pension cost, which include interest cost, expected return on plan assets, settlement charges, curtailments and amortization of deferred actuarial losses and prior service credits, in the other income (expense), net line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.\n\nDerivative Financial Instruments\n\nDerivative financial instruments are measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as assets and liabilities, respectively, and classified as current or noncurrent based on the derivatives’ maturity dates. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments (i.e., gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. To qualify for hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships must be formally documented at the inception of the hedges and must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows of hedged transactions. VF’s hedging practices are described in Note 25, which primarily relate to cash flow hedges. VF does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Hedging cash flows are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same category as the items being hedged.\n\nVF formally documents hedging instruments and hedging relationships at the inception of each contract. Further, at the inception of a contract and on an ongoing basis, as necessary, VF assesses whether the hedging instruments are highly effective in offsetting the risk of the hedged transactions. When hedging instruments are determined to not be highly effective, hedge accounting treatment is discontinued, and any future changes in fair value of the instruments are recognized immediately in net income (loss). Unrealized gains or losses related to hedging instruments remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“OCL”) until the hedged forecasted transaction occurs and impacts earnings. If the hedged forecasted transaction is deemed probable of not occurring, any unrealized gains or losses in accumulated OCL are immediately recognized in net income (loss).\n\nVF also uses derivative contracts to manage foreign currency exchange risk on certain assets and liabilities. These contracts are not designated as hedges, and are measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value recognized directly in net income (loss).\n\nThe counterparties to the derivative contracts are financial institutions having at least A-rated investment grade credit ratings. To manage its credit risk, VF continually monitors the credit risks of its counterparties, limits its exposure in the aggregate and to any single counterparty, and adjusts its hedging positions as appropriate. The impact of VF’s credit risk and the credit risk of its counterparties, as well as the ability of each party to fulfill its obligations under the contracts, is considered in determining the fair value of the derivative contracts. Credit risk has not had a significant effect on the fair value of VF’s derivative contracts. VF does not have any credit risk-related contingent features or collateral requirements with its derivative contracts.\n\nRevenue Recognition\n\nRevenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied based on the transfer of control of promised goods or services. The transfer of control typically occurs at a point in time based on consideration\n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-15\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nof when the customer has (i) an obligation to pay for, (ii) physical possession of, (iii) legal title to, (iv) risks and rewards of ownership of, and (v) accepted the goods or services. The timing of revenue recognition within the wholesale channel occurs either on shipment or delivery of goods based on contractual terms with the customer. The timing of revenue recognition in the direct-to-consumer channel generally occurs at the point of sale within VF-operated or concession retail stores and either on shipment or delivery of goods for e-commerce transactions based on contractual terms with the customer. For finished products shipped directly to customers from our suppliers, the Company's promise to the customer is a performance obligation to provide the specified goods, and thus the Company is the principal in the arrangement and revenue is recognized on a gross basis at the transaction price.\n\nThe duration of contractual arrangements with our customers in the wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels is typically less than one year. Payment terms with wholesale customers are generally between 30 and 60 days while direct-to-consumer arrangements have shorter terms. The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as it is expected, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and the customer payment for the good or service will be one year or less.\n\nThe amount of revenue recognized in both wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels reflects the expected consideration to be received for providing the goods or services to the customer, which includes estimates for variable consideration. Variable consideration includes sales incentive programs, discounts, markdowns, chargebacks and product returns. Estimates of variable consideration are determined at contract inception and reassessed at each reporting date, at a minimum, to reflect any changes in facts and circumstances. The Company utilizes the expected value method in determining its estimates of variable consideration, based on evaluations of specific product and customer circumstances, historical and anticipated trends, and current economic conditions. Allowances for estimates of sales incentive programs, discounts, markdowns, chargebacks and returns are recorded as accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.\n\nCertain products sold by the Company include an assurance warranty. Product warranty costs are estimated based on historical and anticipated trends, and are recorded as cost of goods sold at the time revenue is recognized.\n\nRevenue from the sale of gift cards is deferred and recorded as a contract liability until the gift card is redeemed by the customer, factoring in breakage as appropriate.\n\nVarious VF brands maintain customer loyalty programs where customers earn rewards from qualifying purchases or activities, which are redeemable for discounts on future purchases or other rewards. For its customer loyalty programs, the Company estimates the standalone selling price of the loyalty rewards and allocates a portion of the consideration for the sale of products to the loyalty points earned. The deferred amount is recorded as a contract liability, and is recognized as revenue when the points are redeemed or when the likelihood of redemption is remote.\n\nThe Company has elected to treat all shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs and recognize the costs as SG&A expenses at the time the related revenue is recognized. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenues. Sales taxes and value added taxes collected from customers and remitted directly to governmental authorities are excluded from the transaction price.\n\nThe Company has licensing agreements for its symbolic intellectual property, some of which include minimum guaranteed royalties. Royalty income is recognized as earned over the respective license term based on the greater of minimum guarantees or the licensees' sales of licensed products at rates specified in the licensing contracts. Royalty income related to the minimum guarantees is recognized using a measure of progress with variable amounts recognized only when the cumulative earned royalty exceeds the minimum guarantees.\n\nThe Company has applied the practical expedient to recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less. The Company has also elected the practical expedients to not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for (i) variable consideration related to sales-based royalty arrangements, and (ii) contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.\n\nCost of Goods Sold\n\nCost of goods sold for purchased finished goods includes the purchase costs and related overhead. Overhead includes all costs related to purchasing finished goods, including costs of planning, purchasing, quality control, depreciation, freight, duties, tariffs, royalties paid to third parties and shrinkage. Cost of goods sold also includes provisions to state inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. For product lines with a warranty, a provision for estimated future repair or replacement costs, based on historical and anticipated trends, is recorded when these products are sold.\n\nSG&A Expenses\n\nSG&A expenses include costs of product development, selling, marketing and advertising, VF-operated retail stores, concession retail stores, warehousing, distribution, shipping and handling, licensing and administration. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $849.3 million, $818.8 million and $820.6 million in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Advertising costs include cooperative advertising payments made to VF’s customers as reimbursement for certain costs of advertising VF’s products, which totaled $14.7 million, $13.3 million and $12.7 million in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Shipping and handling costs for delivery of products to customers totaled $511.9 million, $474.3 million and $524.9 million in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.\n\nStock-based Compensation\n\nVF accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employee directors based on their respective grant date fair values. Compensation cost for all awards expected to vest is\n\nF-16 VF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nrecognized over the shorter of the requisite service period or the vesting period, including accelerated recognition for retirement-eligible employees. Awards that do not vest are forfeited. Generally, dividend equivalents accrue without compounding and are payable in additional shares of VF common stock upon vesting.\n\nVF uses a lattice option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors. VF's performance-based awards are based on management achieving both performance and market-based financial targets. The grant date fair value of market conditions is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique incorporating option-pricing model inputs.\n\nDividends\n\nDividends declared on common stock are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings to the extent retained earnings are available at the close of the period prior to the date of the declared dividend. Dividends declared in excess of retained earnings are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital.\n\nSelf-insurance\n\nVF is self-insured for a significant portion of its employee medical, workers’ compensation, vehicle, property and general liability exposures. Liabilities for self-insured exposures are accrued at the present value of amounts expected to be paid based on historical claims experience and actuarial data for forecasted settlements of claims filed and for incurred but not yet reported claims. Accruals for self-insured exposures are included in current and noncurrent liabilities based on the expected periods of payment. Excess liability insurance has been purchased to limit the amount of self-insured risk on claims.\n\nIncome Taxes\n\nIncome taxes are provided on pre-tax income (loss) for financial reporting purposes. Income taxes are based on amounts of taxes payable or refundable in the current year and on expected future tax consequences of events that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in different periods than they are recognized in tax returns. As a result of timing of recognition and measurement differences between financial accounting standards and income tax laws, temporary differences arise between amounts of pre-tax financial statement income (loss) and taxable income (loss), and between reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect the estimated future tax impact of these temporary differences and net operating loss and net capital loss carryforwards, based on tax rates currently enacted for the years in which the differences are expected to be settled or realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income in specific jurisdictions. Valuation allowances are used to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts considered more-likely-than-not to be realized. All deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.\n\nAccrued income taxes in the Consolidated Balance Sheets include unrecognized income tax benefits, along with related\n\ninterest and penalties, appropriately classified as current or noncurrent. VF has evaluated these potential issues under the more-likely-than-not standard of the accounting literature. A tax position is recognized if it meets this standard and is measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. The provision for income taxes also includes estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.\n\nEarnings (Loss) Per Share\n\nBasic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes conversion of potentially dilutive securities such as stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock. In periods of a loss from continuing operations, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from diluted loss per share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.\n\nConcentration of Risks\n\nVF markets products to a broad customer base throughout the world. Products are sold at a range of price points through various wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels. VF’s ten largest customers accounted for approximately 17% of Fiscal 2026 total revenues. Sales to VF’s largest customer accounted for approximately 4% of Fiscal 2026 total revenues. Sales are generally made on an unsecured basis under customary terms that may vary by product, channel of distribution or geographic region. VF continuously monitors the creditworthiness of its customers and has established internal policies regarding customer credit limits. The breadth of product offerings, combined with the large number and geographic diversity of its customers, limits VF’s concentration of risks.\n\nLegal and Other Contingencies\n\nManagement periodically assesses liabilities and contingencies in connection with legal proceedings and other claims that may arise from time to time. When it is probable that a loss has been or will be incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable, the estimate of the loss is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Estimates of losses are adjusted when additional information becomes available or circumstances change. A contingent liability is disclosed when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred.\n\nGovernment Grants\n\nVF may receive grants from various governmental entities in the U.S. and foreign governments in exchange for compliance with certain conditions relating to VF’s activities in a specific jurisdiction. Grants may also include incentives and credits. Grants are primarily structured to encourage investment, job creation, job retention and other related activities. VF recognizes the benefit of government grants on a systematic and rational basis over the period that it incurs the underlying investment or expenses when it is probable that VF will comply with specified conditions attached to the grants and it is probable that the grants will be received. Some of VF’s agreements with governmental entities include claw back provisions for the recapture of funding if VF fails to comply with various aspects of\n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-17\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nthe agreements. These provisions are monitored for ongoing compliance.\n\nFor the year ended March 2026, VF recognized $19.8 million as a reduction to SG&A expenses, $9.4 million as a reduction to cost of goods sold and $6.8 million as a reduction to inventory, related to government grants. As of March 2026, VF recorded a grant receivable of $19.3 million, which is included in the accounts receivable, net line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, to reflect incentives earned on qualifying activities during Fiscal 2026. Government grants in Fiscal 2026 related primarily to government entities in the Asia-Pacific region.\n\nFor the years ended March 2025 and March 2024, government grants did not have a material impact on VF’s consolidated financial statements.\n\nReclassifications\n\nCertain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the Fiscal 2026 presentation.\n\nRecently Adopted Accounting Standards\n\nIn December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The rate reconciliation disclosures require specific categories and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The income taxes paid disclosures require disaggregation by individual jurisdictions that are greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual disclosures beginning in Fiscal 2026. The Company adopted this guidance for its Fiscal 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K and applied it on a prospective basis, refer to Note 20 for additional disclosures.\n\nRecently Issued Accounting Standards\n\nIn November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which is intended to enhance expense disclosures by requiring additional disaggregation of certain costs and expenses, on an interim and annual basis, within the footnotes to the financial statements. The guidance will be effective for annual disclosures beginning in Fiscal 2028 and subsequent interim periods. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF's disclosures.\n\nIn September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software”, which updates the accounting for internal-use software by replacing former stage-based rules with a principles-based framework. Entities will now capitalize costs associated with internal-use software only when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the intended function. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.\n\nIn November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements”, which amends certain aspects of hedge accounting rules to more closely align with the economic results of risk management activities in the financial statements. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2028, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.\n\nIn December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities”, an update that establishes authoritative guidance on the accounting for government grants received by business entities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2030, with early adoption permitted, but the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.\n\nIn December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements”, which is intended to clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 270 — Interim Reporting. The guidance is effective for interim periods beginning in Fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.\n\nIn December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, “Codification Improvements”, which represents changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and apply. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2028, with early adoption permitted, but the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.\n\nF-18 VF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nNOTE 2 — REVENUES\n\nContract Balances\n\nContract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that have been transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Once the Company has an unconditional right to consideration under a contract, amounts are invoiced and contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable. The Company's primary contract assets relate to sales-based royalty arrangements, which are discussed in more detail within Note 1.\n\nContract liabilities are recorded when a customer pays consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the transfer of a good or service to the customer and thus represent the Company's obligation to transfer the good or service to the customer at a future date. The Company's primary contract liabilities relate to gift cards, loyalty programs and sales-based royalty arrangements, which are discussed in more detail within Note 1, and customer order deposits.\n\nThe following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities:\n\n(In thousands)March 2026March 2025\n\nContract assets (a)\n$976 $2,448 \n\nContract liabilities (b)\n76,923 78,421 \n\n(a)Included in the other current assets line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.\n\n(b)Included in the accrued liabilities line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.\n\nFor the year ended March 2026, the Company recognized $204.6 million of revenue related to contract liabilities, which included the majority of the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year, and amounts recorded as a contract liability and subsequently recognized as revenue as performance obligations were satisfied during the year, such as order deposits from customers. The change in the contract asset and contract liability balances primarily results from the timing differences between the Company's satisfaction of performance obligations and the customer's payment.\n\nPerformance Obligations\n\nAs of March 2026, the Company expects to recognize $12.9 million of fixed consideration related to the future minimum guarantees in effect under its licensing agreements and expects such amounts to be recognized over time based on the contractual terms through December 2028.\n\nAs of March 2026, there were no arrangements with transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations other than contracts for which the Company has applied the practical expedients and the fixed consideration related to future minimum guarantees discussed above.\n\nDisaggregation of Revenues\n\nThe following tables disaggregate our revenues by channel and geography, which provides a meaningful depiction of how the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenues are affected by economic factors.\n\nYear Ended March 2026 (a)\n\n(In thousands)OutdoorActive\nAll Other (b)\nTotal\n\nChannel revenues\n\nWholesale$3,207,132 $1,338,134 $798,377 $5,343,643 \n\nDirect-to-consumer2,522,988 1,361,373 327,508 4,211,869 \n\nRoyalty11,672 21,460 16,563 49,695 \n\nTotal$5,741,792 $2,720,967 $1,142,448 $9,605,207 \n\nGeographic revenues\n\nAmericas$2,577,489 $1,587,903 $664,702 $4,830,094 \n\nEurope2,109,660 861,962 400,298 3,371,920 \n\nAsia-Pacific1,054,643 271,102 77,448 1,403,193 \n\nTotal$5,741,792 $2,720,967 $1,142,448 $9,605,207 \n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-19\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nYear Ended March 2025 (a)\n\n(In thousands)OutdoorActive\nAll Other (b)\nTotal\n\nChannel revenues\n\nWholesale$2,967,846 $1,426,718 $905,530 $5,300,094 \n\nDirect-to-consumer2,328,914 1,462,854 350,507 4,142,275 \n\nRoyalty14,301 24,735 23,286 62,322 \n\nTotal$5,311,061 $2,914,307 $1,279,323 $9,504,691 \n\nGeographic revenues\n\nAmericas$2,361,598 $1,710,070 $761,857 $4,833,525 \n\nEurope1,941,917 887,372 419,172 3,248,461 \n\nAsia-Pacific1,007,546 316,865 98,294 1,422,705 \n\nTotal$5,311,061 $2,914,307 $1,279,323 $9,504,691 \n\nYear Ended March 2024 (a)\n\n(In thousands)OutdoorActive\nAll Other (b)\nTotal\n\nChannel revenues\n\nWholesale$3,001,601 $1,462,412 $958,004 $5,422,017 \n\nDirect-to-consumer2,209,465 1,841,198 375,925 4,426,588 \n\nRoyalty19,221 24,002 23,850 67,073 \n\nTotal$5,230,287 $3,327,612 $1,357,779 $9,915,678 \n\nGeographic revenues\n\nAmericas$2,387,085 $1,963,872 $821,801 $5,172,758 \n\nEurope1,953,782 950,526 435,348 3,339,656 \n\nAsia-Pacific889,420 413,214 100,630 1,403,264 \n\nTotal$5,230,287 $3,327,612 $1,357,779 $9,915,678 \n\n(a)In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF realigned its reportable segments.

On November 12, 2025, VF completed the sale of Dickies and received proceeds of $600.5 million, net of cash sold. VF recorded a final pre-tax gain of $127.2 million in the year ended March 2026, which included a reduction to the gain to reflect final working capital adjustments of $11.9 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, which will be paid in Fiscal 2027. The pre-tax gain is included in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026.\n\nThe Company determined that the sale of Dickies did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the\n\nCompany's operations and financial results, and therefore did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation. The results of operations for Dickies through the date of sale are included within the “All Other” category in Note 21, Reportable Segment Information.\n\nUnder the terms of a transition services agreement, the Company is providing certain post-closing accounting, tax, treasury, digital technology, supply chain, legal, customer service and human resource services on a transitional basis for periods generally up to 12 months from the closing date of the transaction, with the option to extend certain services for up to two six-month extension periods.\n\nDiscontinued Operations\n\nSupreme\n\nOn July 16, 2024, VF entered into a Purchase Agreement with EssilorLuxottica S.A. to sell Supreme for an aggregate base purchase price of $1.500 billion, subject to customary adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses as more fully set forth in the Purchase Agreement. On October 1, 2024, VF completed the sale of Supreme. VF received proceeds of $1.506 billion, net of cash sold, resulting in a final after-tax loss on sale of $126.6 million, which is included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2025. VF used a portion of the net cash proceeds to prepay $1.0 billion of its delayed draw Term Loan (“DDTL”) pursuant to the terms of the DDTL Agreement, as amended, which required repayment within ten business days of VF’s receipt of the net cash proceeds from the sale of Supreme, and to repay $450.0 million of commercial paper borrowings upon maturity during the third quarter of Fiscal 2025.\n\nDuring the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company determined that Supreme met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of Supreme and the related cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements, through the date of sale. These changes have been applied to all periods presented.\n\nThe results of Supreme were previously reported in the Active segment. The results of Supreme recorded in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the\n\nConsolidated Statements of Operations were a loss of $259.0 million (including a final after-tax loss on sale of $126.6 million and goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $145.0 million) and income of $49.6 million for the years ended March 2025 and 2024, respectively.\n\nDuring the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, VF determined that a triggering event had occurred requiring impairment testing of the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded impairment charges of $94.0 million and $51.0 million to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset, respectively.\n\nUnder the terms of a transition services agreement, the Company provided certain post-closing accounting, tax, treasury, digital technology, supply chain and human resource services on a transitional basis for periods generally up to 12 months from the closing date of the transaction.\n\nCertain corporate overhead costs and segment costs previously allocated to the Supreme brand for segment reporting purposes did not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been allocated to continuing operations. In addition, interest expense and the related interest rate swap impact for the DDTL were allocated to discontinued operations due to the requirement within the DDTL Agreement, as amended, that the DDTL be prepaid upon the receipt of the net cash proceeds from the sale of Supreme.\n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-21\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nSummarized Discontinued Operations Financial Information\n\nThe following table summarizes the major line items for Supreme that are included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:\n\nYear Ended March\n\n(In thousands)\n2026 (a)\n20252024\n\nRevenues$— $244,524 $538,989 \n\nCost of goods sold— 95,529 214,067 \n\nSG&A expenses— 109,641 215,049 \n\nImpairment of goodwill and intangible assets— 145,000 — \n\nInterest expense, net (b)\n— (30,767)(57,729)\n\nOther income (expense), net— (17)(908)\n\nIncome (loss) from discontinued operations before income taxes— (136,430)51,236 \n\nLoss on the sale of discontinued operations before income taxes— (134,225)— \n\nTotal income (loss) from discontinued operations before income taxes— (270,655)51,236 \n\nIncome tax expense (benefit)— (11,615)1,641 \n\nIncome (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax$— $(259,040)$49,595 \n\n(a)There was no activity during the year ended March 2026.\n\n(b)As noted above, interest expense and the related interest rate swap impact for the DDTL were allocated to discontinued operations.\n\nNOTE 4 — ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE\n\n(In thousands)March 2026March 2025\n\nTrade$1,223,591 $1,278,382 \n\nIEEPA tariff refund receivable (Note 1)149,691 — \n\nOther (including royalty)78,639 75,134 \n\nTotal accounts receivable1,451,921 1,353,516 \n\nLess allowance for doubtful accounts23,964 31,853 \n\nAccounts receivable, net$1,427,957 $1,321,663 \n\nNOTE 5 — INVENTORIES\n\n(In thousands)March 2026March 2025\n\nFinished products$1,337,168 $1,588,124 \n\nWork-in-process34,106 38,808 \n\nRaw materials— 93 \n\nTotal inventories$1,371,274 $1,627,025 \n\nF-22 VF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nNOTE 6 — OTHER CURRENT ASSETS\n\n(In thousands)March 2026March 2025\n\nPrepaid income taxes$150,278 $171,597 \n\nPrepaid expenses104,611 104,124 \n\nRight of return assets42,844 47,815 \n\nOther taxes19,552 28,106 \n\nDerivative financial instruments (Note 25)17,800 32,290 \n\nInvestments held for deferred compensation plans (Note 17)12,210 11,900 \n\nQualified replacement plan asset (Note 17)11,942 — \n\nAssets held-for-sale5,524 — \n\nOther21,579 12,196 \n\nOther current assets$386,340 $408,028 \n\nNOTE 7 — PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT\n\n(In thousands)March 2026March 2025\n\nLand and improvements$59,476 $61,735 \n\nBuildings and improvements810,543 817,379 \n\nMachinery and equipment965,357 1,006,909 \n\nProperty, plant and equipment, at cost1,835,376 1,886,023 \n\nLess accumulated depreciation and amortization1,160,868 1,165,144 \n\nProperty, plant and equipment, net$674,508 $720,879 \n\nNOTE 8 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS\n\n(In thousands)Weighted\nAverage\nAmortization\nPeriodAmortization\nMethodCostAccumulated\nAmortizationNet\nCarrying\nAmount\n\nMarch 2026\n\nAmortizable intangible assets:\n\nCustomer relationships and other20 yearsAccelerated$249,218 $203,394 $45,824 \n\nIndefinite-lived intangible assets:\n\nTrademarks and trade names1,421,718 \n\nIntangible assets, net$1,467,542 \n\n(In thousands)Weighted\nAverage\nAmortization\nPeriodAmortization\nMethodCostAccumulated\nAmortizationNet\nCarrying\nAmount\n\nMarch 2025\n\nAmortizable intangible assets:\n\nCustomer relationships and other19 yearsAccelerated$262,882 $201,060 $61,822 \n\nIndefinite-lived intangible assets:\n\nTrademarks and trade names1,648,885 \n\nIntangible assets, net$1,710,707 \n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-23\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nDuring the year ended March 2026, the Company completed the sale of Dickies, at which time intangible assets of $243.8 million were removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The SCF program is administered through third-party platforms that allow participating suppliers to track payments from VF and elect which receivables, if any, to sell to the financial institutions. The transactions are at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and financial institutions, and VF is not a party to the agreements and has no economic interest in the supplier's decision to sell a receivable. The terms between VF and the supplier, including the\n\namount due and scheduled payment terms (which are generally within 90 days of the invoice date), are not impacted by a supplier's participation in the SCF program. All amounts due to suppliers that are eligible to participate in the SCF program are included in the accounts payable line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheets and VF payments made under the SCF program are reflected in cash flows from operating activities in VF's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. At March 2026 and 2025, the accounts payable line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheets included total outstanding obligations of $466.0 million and $481.7 million, respectively, due to suppliers that are eligible to participate in the SCF program.\n\nThe following table presents rollforwards of total outstanding obligations due to suppliers that are eligible to participate in the SCF program:\n\nYear Ended March\n\n(In thousands)20262025\n\nBalance, beginning of year$481,652 $484,983 \n\nInvoices confirmed during the year3,053,653 3,117,901 \n\nConfirmed invoices paid during the year(3,070,860)(3,121,334)\n\nImpact of foreign currency1,508 102 \n\nBalance, end of year$465,953 $481,652 \n\nNOTE 13 — SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS\n\n(In thousands)March 2026March 2025\n\nInternational borrowing arrangements$10,139 $11,916 \n\nShort-term borrowings$10,139 $11,916 \n\nOn August 26, 2025, VF entered into a credit agreement that provides the Company with a $1.5 billion senior secured asset based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”), subject to a borrowing base that is composed of eligible credit card receivables, eligible wholesale receivables, eligible inventory and eligible in-transit inventory. The ABL Credit Facility includes up to a $100.0 million letter of credit subfacility and a $100.0 million swing-line subfacility. The ABL Credit Facility includes up to a $400.0 million subfacility for borrowings by borrowers formed in Switzerland and Germany, with the German sublimit capped at $75.0 million, subject to a borrowing base composed of eligible wholesale receivables, eligible inventory, and eligible in-transit inventory for the Swiss borrowings and composed of eligible wholesale receivables for the German borrowings.\n\nThe Agent, as defined in the credit agreement, has discretion to establish various reserves against the borrowing base, as outlined in the credit agreement, including a requirement for a Debt Maturity Reserve to be established beginning 90-days prior to the maturity of any Material Indebtedness, as defined in the credit agreement.\n\nThe ABL Credit Facility has a stated maturity date of August 26, 2030 and replaces VF's previous $2.25 billion senior unsecured revolving line of credit, dated November 24, 2021 (as amended, the “Terminated Agreement”).\n\nThe ABL Credit Facility includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility up to a maximum of $2.0 billion, subject to the terms and conditions of the credit agreement. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility may be used (i) to refinance the Company’s existing indebtedness owed under the Terminated Agreement, (ii) to fund fees and expenses associated with the ABL Credit Facility, and (iii) for working capital and general corporate purposes. Multicurrency borrowings are available under the credit agreement, including borrowings in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros, sterling, and Swiss francs (subject to certain limitations as set forth in the credit agreement). Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate per annum based on the currency borrowed and borrowing type (swing loan, base rate loan or benchmark/term rate loan), plus the applicable margin (ranging from 0.50% to 2.00% based on borrowing type and average Global Excess Availability, as set forth in the credit agreement). The applicable margin is subject to a one-time permanent 0.25% reduction if VF achieves a Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of less than 4.00 to 1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarter periods ending after the closing date. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unutilized commitments under the ABL Credit Facility. The commitment fee is between 0.25% and 0.375% depending on the usage of the ABL Credit Facility relative to the maximum principal amount.

Certain actions restricted by the negative covenants are permitted so long as Payment Conditions, as defined in the credit agreement, are satisfied.\n\nThe ABL Credit Facility includes a financial covenant that requires VF to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the 12-month period ending on the last day of any applicable fiscal quarter. However, the financial covenant only applies if at any time Global Excess Availability (as defined in the credit agreement) is less than the greater of (i) 10.0% of the Global Line Cap (as defined in the credit agreement), and (ii) $100.0 million, and ceases to apply when Global Excess Availability has equaled or exceeded the greater of (i) 10.0% of the Global Line Cap, and (ii) $100.0 million for 30 consecutive days. As of March 2026, specified availability under the ABL Credit Facility exceeded the required threshold and, as a result, the financial covenant was not applicable.\n\nThe Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants as of March 2026.\n\nAs of March 2026, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. Reserves for outstanding, unfunded letters of credit under the ABL Credit Facility were $0.3 million as of March 2026. Availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $977.2 million as of March 2026, after giving effect to the borrowing base, outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit.\n\nVF had a global commercial paper program that allowed for borrowings of up to $2.25 billion to the extent that it had borrowing capacity under the Terminated Agreement. The U.S. commercial paper borrowing program was terminated as of May 2025 and the euro commercial paper borrowing program was terminated as of January 2025.\n\nVF has $72.5 million of international lines of credit with various banks, which are uncommitted and may be terminated at any time by either VF or the banks. Total outstanding balances under these arrangements were $10.1 million and $11.9 million at March 2026 and 2025, respectively. Borrowings under these arrangements had a weighted average interest rate of 46.3% and 43.8% at March 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to borrowings in certain highly inflationary economies.\n\nNOTE 14 — ACCRUED LIABILITIES\n\n(In thousands)March 2026March 2025\n\nCustomer discounts and allowances$229,712 $239,980 \n\nCompensation156,061 161,811 \n\nOther taxes131,053 135,361 \n\nIncome taxes94,264 96,040 \n\nContract liabilities (Note 2)\n76,923 78,421 \n\nDerivative financial instruments (Note 25)\n46,231 19,810 \n\nInterest46,194 37,297 \n\nFreight, duties and postage40,546 36,150 \n\nRestructuring (Note 27)\n28,899 64,852 \n\nInsurance15,279 13,556 \n\nAdvertising14,724 11,335 \n\nProduct warranty claims (Note 16)\n13,414 12,928 \n\nDeferred compensation (Note 17)\n12,210 11,900 \n\nPension liabilities (Note 17)\n6,281 6,899 \n\nOther99,426 120,707 \n\nAccrued liabilities$1,011,217 $1,047,047 \n\nF-28 VF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nNOTE 15 — LONG-TERM DEBT\n\n(In thousands)March 2026March 2025\n\n4.125% notes, due March 2026 (“2026 notes”)\n$— $539,568 \n\n2.800% notes, due April 2027 (“2027 notes”)\n499,190 498,465 \n\n0.250% notes, due February 2028 (“2028 notes”)\n573,814 538,345 \n\n4.250% notes, due March 2029 (“2029 notes”)\n572,540 537,115 \n\n2.950% notes, due April 2030 (“2030 notes”)\n746,534 745,748 \n\n0.625% notes, due February 2032 (“2032 notes”)\n569,542 534,261 \n\n6.000% notes, due October 2033 (“2033 notes”)\n273,069 272,650 \n\n6.450% notes, due November 2037 (“2037 notes”)\n285,181 285,027 \n\nFinance leases— 15,050 \n\nTotal long-term debt3,519,870 3,966,229 \n\nLess current portion— 540,579 \n\nLong-term debt, due beyond one year$3,519,870 $3,425,650 \n\nSenior Notes\n\nRedemption\n\nIn February 2026, VF completed an early redemption of €500.0 million ($582.2 million) in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2026 Notes. The redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.\n\nIn March 2025, VF completed an early redemption of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2.400% Senior Notes due in April 2025. The redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.\n\nOther Information\n\nAll notes, along with any amounts outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility (Note 13), rank equally as senior unsecured obligations of VF. All notes contain customary covenants and events of default, including limitations on liens and sale-leaseback transactions and a cross-acceleration event of default. The cross-acceleration provision of the 2033 notes is triggered if more than $50.0 million of other debt is in default and has been accelerated by the lenders. For the other notes, the cross-acceleration trigger is $100.0 million. If VF fails in the performance of any covenant under the indentures that govern the respective notes, the trustee or lenders may declare the principal due and payable immediately. As of March 2026, VF was in compliance with all covenants. None of the long-term debt agreements contain acceleration of maturity clauses based solely on changes in credit ratings. However, if there were a change in control of VF and, as a result of the change in control, the notes were rated below investment grade by recognized rating agencies, then VF would be obligated to repurchase those notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount plus any accrued interest. The change of control provision applies to all notes, except for the 2033 notes.\n\nVF may redeem its notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued\n\ninterest to the redemption date, or (ii) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest discounted to the redemption date at an adjusted treasury rate, as defined, plus 15 basis points for the 2028, 2032 and 2033 notes, 25 basis points for the 2037 notes, 30 basis points for the 2029 notes and 40 basis points for the 2027 and 2030 notes, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. In addition, the 2029, 2030 and 2032 notes can be redeemed at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the redemption date within the three months prior to maturity, the 2027 and 2028 notes can be redeemed at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the redemption date within two months prior to maturity.\n\nThe 2027 and 2030 notes have a principal balance of $500.0 million and $750.0 million, respectively, and are recorded net of unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs. Interest expense on the 2027 and 2030 notes is recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 2.953% and 3.071%, respectively.\n\nThe 2028, 2029 and 2032 notes each have a principal balance of €500.0 million and are recorded net of unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs. Interest expense on the 2028, 2029 and 2032 notes is recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 0.388%, 4.409% and 0.789%, respectively. The Company has designated these notes as a net investment hedge of VF's investment in certain foreign operations. Refer to Note 25 for additional information.\n\nThe 2033 and 2037 notes have a principal balance of $277.0 million and $286.9 million, respectively, and are recorded net of unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs. Interest expense on the 2033 and 2037 notes is recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 6.19% and 6.57% respectively.\n\nInterest payments are due annually on the 2028, 2029 and 2032 notes and semiannually on all other notes.\n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-29\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nThe scheduled payments of long-term debt at the end of Fiscal 2026 for the next five fiscal years and thereafter are summarized as follows:\n\n(In thousands)Notes and Other\n\n2027$— \n\n20281,075,679 \n\n2029575,650 \n\n2030— \n\n2031750,000 \n\nThereafter1,139,576 \n\n3,540,905 \n\nLess unamortized debt discount10,094 \n\nLess unamortized debt issuance costs10,941 \n\nTotal long-term debt3,519,870 \n\nLess current portion— \n\nLong-term debt, due beyond one year$3,519,870 \n\nNOTE 16 — OTHER LIABILITIES\n\n(In thousands)March 2026March 2025\n\nIncome taxes$355,902 $417,186 \n\nPension liabilities (Note 17)\n72,989 77,688 \n\nDeferred compensation (Note 17)\n56,716 63,007 \n\nProduct warranty claims48,231 49,885 \n\nDeferred income taxes (Note 20)\n21,057 14,551 \n\nDerivative financial instruments (Note 25)\n2,492 10,193 \n\nOther61,994 54,982 \n\nOther liabilities$619,381 $687,492 \n\n \n\nVF accrues warranty costs, as cost of goods sold, at the time revenue is recognized.

VF retains the right to curtail or discontinue any of the plans, subject to local regulations.\n\nU.S. Qualified Pension Plan Termination\n\nIn May 2025, VF executed a resolution to terminate the U.S. qualified plan, which was previously frozen and no longer accruing benefits. In February 2026, the Company completed the termination of the plan through a combination of lump-sum payments to eligible participants and the purchase of group annuity contracts to settle the remaining benefit obligations.\n\nIn the third quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF offered participants the option to elect lump-sum payouts in exchange for future benefit obligations. VF recorded a $34.0 million non-cash settlement charge in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026 to recognize the related deferred actuarial losses in accumulated OCL resulting from lump-sum payments of retirement benefits. Actuarial assumptions used in the interim valuation were reviewed and revised as appropriate.\n\nIn the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF purchased a group annuity contract to transfer the remaining benefit obligation to an insurance company. The purchase of the group annuity contract was fully funded directly by plan assets. As a result, VF recorded a $158.1 million non-cash settlement charge in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026 to recognize the remaining deferred actuarial losses in OCL.\n\nIn the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF transferred approximately $83.5 million of funds from plan assets to a\n\nqualified replacement plan managed by the Company which will be used to fund future incremental annual Company contributions to VF's U.S. 401(k) program. As of March 2026, $11.9 million was recorded in other current assets (Note 6) and $71.6 million was recorded in other assets (Note 11). The remaining plan assets reverted to the Company as part of the final termination process. As a result, approximately $125.4 million reverted to the Company resulting in $25.1 million of excise tax being paid and recorded in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026.\n\nDefined Benefit Pension Plans\n\nDefined benefit plans provide pension benefits based on participant compensation and years of service. VF sponsors an unfunded supplemental defined benefit pension plan that provides benefits in excess of limitations imposed by income tax regulations (the “U.S. nonqualified plan”) and various non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. As of December 31, 2018, the U.S. nonqualified plan was frozen for all future benefit accruals.\n\nVF was in a net underfunded status at the end of Fiscal 2026 primarily due to the unfunded U.S. nonqualified plan and differences in actuarial assumptions and plan classification relative to local statutory accounting standards, which generally result in higher reported benefit obligations under U.S. GAAP. A March 31 measurement date is used to value plan assets and obligations for all pension plans.\n\nThe amounts reported in these disclosures have not been segregated between continuing and discontinued operations.\n\nThe components of pension cost for VF’s defined benefit plans were as follows:\n\nYear Ended March\n\n(In thousands)202620252024\n\nService cost — benefits earned during the period$10,073 $9,796 $8,924 \n\nInterest cost on projected benefit obligations40,496 46,789 47,079 \n\nExpected return on plan assets(53,399)(61,225)(63,569)\n\nSettlement charges193,199 — 3,538 \n\nDivestiture(718)— — \n\nCurtailments(1,520)(936)— \n\nAmortization of deferred amounts:\n\nNet deferred actuarial losses18,236 20,205 16,656 \n\nDeferred prior service credits(339)(589)(541)\n\nNet periodic pension cost $206,028 $14,040 $12,087 \n\nWeighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine pension cost:\n\nDiscount rate in effect for determining service cost1.99 %2.05 %2.50 %\n\nDiscount rate in effect for determining interest cost4.75 %4.59 %4.85 %\n\nExpected long-term return on plan assets4.03 %5.90 %5.99 %\n\nRate of compensation increase (a)\n2.00 %2.15 %2.19 %\n\n(a)Rate of compensation increase is calculated as the weighted average rate of compensation increase for active plans.

Frozen plans are excluded from the calculation.\n\nThe actuarial model utilizes discount rates, which are used to estimate the present value of future cash outflows necessary to meet the projected benefit obligations for VF's defined benefit plans. The discount rates reflect the estimated interest rate that VF could use to settle its projected benefit obligations at the valuation date. The discount rate assumption is based on current market interest rates. VF selects a discount rate for each defined benefit pension plan by matching high quality corporate bond yields to the timing of the projected benefit payments to participants in each plan. VF uses the spot rate approach to measure the projected benefit obligations and service and interest costs. Under the spot rate approach, the full yield curve is applied separately to cash flows for each projected benefit obligation, service cost, and interest cost for a more precise calculation.\n\nAccumulated benefit obligations at any measurement date are the present value of vested and unvested pension benefits\n\nearned, without considering projected future compensation increases. Projected benefit obligations are the present value of vested and unvested pension benefits earned, considering projected future compensation increases.\n\nDeferred actuarial gains and losses are changes in the amount of either the benefit obligation or the value of plan assets resulting from differences between expected amounts for a year using actuarial assumptions and the actual results for that year. These amounts are deferred as a component of accumulated OCL and amortized to pension cost in future years.\n\nDeferred prior service credits related to plan amendments are also recorded in accumulated OCL and amortized to pension cost on a straight-line basis over the average remaining years of service for active employees.\n\nThe following provides information for VF's defined benefit plans with projected benefit obligations and accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets:\n\n(In thousands)March 2026March 2025\n\nProjected benefit obligations$194,044 $190,404 \n\nAccumulated benefit obligations175,647 171,771 \n\nFair value of plan assets114,774 105,817 \n\nThe net amount of projected benefit obligations and plan assets for underfunded defined benefit plans was $79.3 million and $84.6 million as of March 2026 and 2025, respectively, and was reported in accrued liabilities and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.\n\nManagement’s investment objectives are to invest plan assets in a diversified portfolio of securities to provide long-term growth, minimize the volatility of the value of plan assets relative to plan liabilities, and to ensure plan assets are sufficient to pay the benefit obligations. Investment strategies focus on diversification among multiple asset classes, a balance of long-term investment return at an acceptable level of risk and\n\nliquidity to meet benefit payments. The primary objective of the investment strategies is to more closely align plan assets with plan liabilities by utilizing dynamic asset allocation targets dependent upon changes in the plan’s funded ratio, capital market expectations and risk tolerance.\n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-33\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nPlan assets, across all plans, are primarily composed of common collective trust funds that invest in liquid securities diversified across equity, fixed-income and other asset classes. Fund assets are allocated among independent investment managers who have full discretion to manage their portion of the fund’s assets, subject to strategy and risk guidelines established with each manager. The overall strategy, the resulting allocations of plan assets and the performance of funds and individual investment managers are continually monitored. Derivative financial instruments may be used by investment managers for hedging purposes. There are no direct\n\ninvestments in VF debt or equity securities and no significant concentrations of security risk.\n\nThe expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was based on an evaluation of the weighted average expected returns for the major asset classes in which the plans have invested. Expected returns by asset class were developed through analysis of historical market returns, current market conditions, inflation expectations and equity and credit risks. Inputs from various investment advisors on long-term capital market returns and other variables were also considered where appropriate.\n\nThe fair value of investments held by VF’s defined benefit plans at March 2026 and March 2025, by asset class, is summarized below.

The fair values of insurance contracts are provided by the insurance companies and are primarily based on accumulated contributions plus returns guaranteed by the insurers (Level 2). Equity and fixed-income securities generally represent institutional funds measured at their daily net asset value derived from quoted prices of the underlying investments. As of both March 2026 and 2025, alternative investments are primarily investments in gold, insurance-linked securities and derivatives.\n\nVF makes contributions to its defined benefit plans sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements under applicable laws, plus discretionary amounts as determined by management. VF intends to make approximately $16.1 million of contributions to its defined benefit plans during Fiscal 2027. The estimated future benefit payments for all of VF’s defined benefit plans, are approximately $29.7 million in Fiscal 2027, $16.5 million in Fiscal 2028, $15.8 million in Fiscal 2029, $16.1 million in Fiscal 2030, $16.4 million in Fiscal 2031 and $85.3 million for Fiscal 2032 through 2036.\n\nOther Retirement and Savings Plans\n\nVF sponsors a nonqualified retirement savings plan for employees whose contributions to a 401(k) plan would be limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation and to receive matching contributions for a portion of the deferred amounts. Participants earn a return on their deferred compensation based on their selection of a hypothetical portfolio of publicly traded mutual funds. Changes in the fair value of the participants’ hypothetical investments are recorded as an adjustment to deferred compensation liabilities and compensation expense. Expense under this plan was $0.6\n\nmillion, $0.3 million and $0.4 million in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Deferred compensation, including accumulated earnings, is distributable in cash at participant-specified dates upon retirement, death, disability or termination of employment. VF sponsors a similar nonqualified plan that permits non-employee members of the Board of Directors to defer their Board compensation. VF also has remaining obligations under other deferred compensation plans, primarily related to acquired companies. At March 2026, VF’s liability to participants under all deferred compensation plans was $68.9 million, of which $12.2 million was recorded in accrued liabilities (Note 14) and $56.7 million was recorded in other liabilities (Note 16).\n\nVF has purchased (i) publicly traded mutual funds in the same amounts as most of the participant-directed hypothetical investments underlying the deferred compensation liabilities, and (ii) variable life insurance contracts that invest in institutional funds that are substantially the same as the participant-directed hypothetical investments. These investment securities and earnings thereon are intended to provide a source of funds to meet the deferred compensation obligations, and serve as an economic hedge of the financial impact of changes in deferred compensation liabilities. They are held in an irrevocable trust but are subject to claims of creditors in the event of VF’s insolvency. VF also has assets related to deferred compensation plans of acquired companies, which are primarily invested in life insurance contracts. At March 2026, the value of investments held for all deferred compensation plans was $73.4 million, of which $12.2 million was recorded in other current assets (Note 6) and $61.2 million was recorded in other assets (Note 11).

These are treated as treasury stock transactions when shares are repurchased.\n\nCommon Stock outstanding is net of shares held in treasury which are, in substance, retired. There were no shares held in treasury at the end of March 2026, 2025 or 2024. The excess of the cost of treasury shares acquired over the $0.25 per share stated value of Common Stock is deducted from retained earnings (accumulated deficit).\n\nAccumulated Other Comprehensive Loss\n\nComprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and specified components of other comprehensive income (loss), which relate to changes in assets and liabilities that are not included in net income (loss) under GAAP but are instead deferred and accumulated within a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the balance sheet.

Substantially all stock-based compensation awards are classified as equity awards, which are accounted for in stockholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. On a limited basis, cash-settled\n\nstock appreciation rights and RSUs are granted to employees in certain international jurisdictions. These awards are accounted for as liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and remeasured to fair value each reporting period until the awards are settled. Compensation cost for all awards expected to vest is recognized over the shorter of the requisite service period or the vesting period, including accelerated recognition for retirement-eligible employees. Awards that do not vest are forfeited.\n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-37\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nTotal stock-based compensation cost and the associated income tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, on a continuing operations basis, were as follows:\n\nYear Ended March\n\n(In thousands)202620252024\n\nStock-based compensation cost$76,954 $73,247 $57,829 \n\nIncome tax benefits17,729 16,299 12,849 \n\nAt the end of March 2026, there was $63.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all stock-based compensation arrangements that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.\n\nAt the end of March 2026, there were 29,096,405 shares available for future grants of stock options and stock awards under the 1996 Stock Compensation Plan. Shares for option exercises are issued from VF’s authorized but unissued Common Stock.\n\nStock Options\n\nStock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of VF Common Stock on the date of grant. Employee stock options typically vest and become exercisable in equal annual installments over three years, and compensation cost is recognized ratably over the shorter of the requisite\n\nservice period or the vesting period. Stock options granted to non-employee members of VF’s Board of Directors vest upon grant and become exercisable one year from the date of grant. All options have ten-year terms. There were no options granted during the year ended March 2026.\n\nThe grant date fair value of each option award was calculated using a lattice option-pricing valuation model, which incorporated a range of assumptions for inputs as follows:\n\nYear Ended March\n\n2026 (a)\n20252024\n\nExpected volatility\nN/A\n\n37% to 53%\n\n33% to 54%\n\nWeighted average expected volatilityN/A47%42%\n\nExpected term (in years)\nN/A\n\n5.5 to 7.3\n\n5.9 to 7.8\n\nWeighted average dividend yieldN/A2.2%3.7%\n\nRisk-free interest rate\nN/A\n\n3.80% to 5.43%\n\n3.80% to 5.50%\n\nWeighted average fair value at date of grantN/A$5.31$5.74\n\n(a)     Not applicable, as no options were granted during the year ended March 2026.\n\nExpected volatility over the contractual term of an option was based on a combination of the implied volatility from publicly traded options on VF Common Stock and the historical volatility of VF Common Stock. The expected term represents the period of time over which vested options are expected to be outstanding before exercise. VF used historical data to estimate option exercise behaviors and to estimate the number of options that would vest.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, was $1.9 million, $0.9 million and $0.0 million, respectively.\n\nRestricted Stock Units and Stock Units\n\nDuring the year ended March 2026, VF granted 516,605 performance-based RSUs with a market condition to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) that enables him to receive shares of VF Common Stock at the end of a performance cycle that goes through Fiscal 2028. Each performance-based RSU has a potential final payout of either zero or one share of VF Common Stock. The number of shares earned by the CEO, if any, is based on achievement of an operating income percentage for Fiscal 2028 and a VF stock price target during the performance period. The targets for both were set by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Shares will be issued to the CEO following the conclusion of the performance period, subject to completion of a one-year holding period. The grant date fair value of the award incorporated achievement of the stock price target using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that incorporates option-pricing model inputs and was $5.10 per share. The grant date fair value is being recognized over the service period so long as achievement of the operating income percentage target is probable.\n\nDuring the year ended March 2026, VF granted 1,474,178 RSUs to executives that enable them to receive shares of VF Common Stock over a five-year vesting period. These units vest 25% on the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. The number of units paid for the portion of the RSUs that vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date are subject to relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) targets set by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and will be paid in full or decreased to zero, based on how VF's TSR over the five-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in the Standard & Poor's 600 Consumer Discretionary Sector Index. The grant date fair value of the TSR-based adjustment related to the RSU grants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that incorporates option-pricing model inputs, and was $9.09 per share.\n\nDuring Fiscal 2025 and 2024, VF granted performance-based RSUs that enable employees to receive shares of VF Common Stock at the end of a three-year performance cycle. Each performance-based RSU has a potential final payout ranging from zero to two and one-quarter shares of VF Common Stock. The number of shares earned by participants, if any, is based on\n\nthe achievement of financial targets and TSR targets set by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Shares are issued to participants in the year following the conclusion of each three-year performance period.\n\nFor performance-based RSUs granted in Fiscal 2025, the financial targets are based on the average, for the three years of the performance cycle, of the annual levels of achievement of VF's total revenue, weighted 50%, and the average, for the three years of the performance cycle, of the annual levels of achievement of VF's gross margin, weighted 50%. Furthermore, the actual number of shares earned may be adjusted upward or downward by 25% of the target award, based on how VF's TSR over the three-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in the Standard & Poor's 600 Consumer Discretionary Sector Index, resulting in a maximum payout of 225% of the target award. The grant date fair value of the TSR-based adjustment related to the performance-based RSU grants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that incorporates option-pricing model inputs, and was $2.05 per share.\n\nFor performance-based RSUs granted in Fiscal 2024, the financial targets include 50% weighting based on VF's revenue growth and 50% weighting based on VF's gross margin performance over the three-year period compared to financial targets. Furthermore, the actual number of shares earned may be adjusted upward or downward by 25% of the target award, based on how VF's TSR over the three-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in the Standard & Poor's 500 Consumer Discretionary Index, resulting in a maximum payout of 225% of the target award. The grant date fair value of the TSR-based adjustment related to the performance-based RSU grants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that incorporates option-pricing model inputs, and was $0.35 per share.\n\nVF also grants nonperformance-based RSUs to employees as part of its stock compensation program and nonperformance-based stock units to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Each nonperformance-based RSU or stock unit entitles the holder to one share of VF Common Stock.

The weighted average fair value of performance-based RSUs granted during the years ended March 2025 and 2024 was $16.61 and $18.29 per share, respectively, based on the fair market value of the underlying VF Common Stock on each grant date. The total market value of awards outstanding at the end of March 2026 was $50.4 million. Awards earned and vested for the three-year performance period ended in March 2025 and distributed in early Fiscal 2026 totaled zero shares of VF Common Stock having a value of $0.0\n\nmillion. Similarly, zero shares of VF Common Stock having a value of $0.0 million were earned for the performance period ended in March 2024 and distributed in early Fiscal 2025.\n\nThe weighted average fair value of nonperformance-based RSUs and stock units granted during the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024 was $12.74, $17.13 and $17.09 per share, respectively, which was equal to the fair market value of the underlying VF Common Stock on each grant date. The total market value of awards outstanding at the end of March 2026 was $153.4 million.\n\nRestricted Stock\n\nVF granted restricted shares of VF Common Stock to certain members of management. The fair value of the restricted shares, equal to the fair market value of VF Common Stock at the grant date, was recognized ratably over the vesting period. Restricted shares vested over periods of up to four years from\n\nthe date of grant. Dividends accumulated in the form of additional restricted shares and are subjected to the same risk of forfeiture as the restricted stock. There were no restricted shares granted in the year ended March 2026 and all restricted shares were vested in the year ended March 2026.\n\nRestricted stock activity for the year ended March 2026 is summarized below:\n\nNonvested Shares OutstandingWeighted Average Grant Date Fair Value\n\nNonvested shares, March 202511,613 $71.43 \n\nGranted— — \n\nDividend equivalents— — \n\nVested(11,613)71.43 \n\nForfeited— — \n\nNonvested shares, March 2026— $— \n\nThere were no nonvested shares of restricted stock at the end of March 2026.

During 2015, the European Union Commission (“EU”) investigated and announced its decision that these rulings were illegal and ordered the tax benefits to be collected from affected companies, including VF. During 2017 and 2018, VF was assessed and paid €35.0 million in tax and interest, which was recorded as an income tax receivable and was included in the other current assets line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the expected\n\nsuccess of the requests for annulment. After subsequent annulments and appeals, the General Court confirmed the decision of the EU on September 20, 2023. As a result, VF wrote off the related income tax receivable and recorded a benefit for the associated foreign tax credit, resulting in $26.1 million of net income tax expense in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024.\n\nIn addition, VF was granted a lower effective income tax rate on taxable earnings in one foreign jurisdiction that expired at the end of March 2025.

In the U.S., the IRS examinations for tax years through 2018 have been effectively settled.\n\nAs previously reported, VF petitioned the U.S. Tax Court (the \"Tax Court\") to resolve an IRS dispute regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with VF’s acquisition of The Timberland Company in September 2011. While the IRS argued that all such income should have been immediately included in 2011, VF reported periodic income inclusions in subsequent tax years. In Fiscal 2023, the Tax Court issued its final decision in favor of the IRS, which was appealed by VF. On October 19, 2022, VF paid $875.7 million related to the 2011 taxes and interest being disputed, which was recorded as an income tax receivable and began to accrue interest income. These amounts were included in the other assets line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheet, based on our assessment of the position under the more-likely-than-not standard of the accounting literature. On September 8, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit (“Appeals Court”) upheld the Tax Court’s decision in favor of the IRS. As a result of the Appeals Court decision, VF determined that its position no longer met the more-likely-than-not threshold, and thus wrote off the related income tax receivable and associated interest and recorded $690.0 million of income tax expense in\n\nthe second quarter of Fiscal 2024. This amount included the reversal of $19.6 million of interest income, of which $7.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. This amount reflects the total estimated net impact to VF’s tax expense, which includes the expected reduction in taxes paid on the periodic inclusions that VF has reported, release of related deferred tax liabilities, and consideration of indirect tax effects resulting from the decision. The estimated impact is subject to future adjustments based on finalization with tax authorities.\n\nOn July 4, 2025, the U.S. signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which included various provisions specific to businesses. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in Fiscal 2026 and others implemented in subsequent years. The Company has reflected the impact of the enacted provisions in its financial statements for the year ended March 2026, which were determined to be immaterial.\n\nIn addition, VF is currently subject to examination by various state and international tax authorities. Management regularly assesses the potential outcomes of both ongoing and future examinations for the current and prior years and has concluded that VF’s provision for income taxes is adequate. The outcome of any one examination is not expected to have a material impact on VF’s consolidated financial statements. Management believes that some of these audits and negotiations will conclude during the next 12 months.\n\nNOTE 21 — REPORTABLE SEGMENT INFORMATION\n\nVF's President and CEO is the Company's CODM. The Company's individual global brands, or in certain cases the combination of global brands, have been determined to be operating segments. The operating segments have been evaluated and aggregated into reportable segments because they meet the similar economic characteristics and qualitative aggregation criteria set forth in the relevant accounting guidance. In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF realigned its reportable segments to reflect a change in how the Timberland® brand is managed and the CODM's key areas of focus. VF began managing its Timberland® and Timberland PRO® brands as one operating segment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. This operating segment has been aggregated with The North Face® brand in the Outdoor reportable segment and the Vans®, Kipling®, Eastpak® and JanSport® brands have been aggregated in the Active reportable segment. All other brands that have not been aggregated within the\n\nreportable segments described above, which do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment, have been grouped within an “All Other” category. This group includes the following brands: Dickies® (through the date of sale), Altra®, Smartwool®, Napapijri® and Icebreaker®. Results for the “All Other” category are included as a reconciling item between the Company's reportable segments and its consolidated results of operations and assets.\n\nReportable segment results for all prior periods have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments. These changes had no impact on previously reported consolidated results of operations.\n\nThe results of Dickies have been included in the “All Other” category through the November 12, 2025 date of sale.\n\nF-46 VF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nBelow is a description of VF's reportable segments and the brands included within each:\n\nREPORTABLE SEGMENTBRANDS\n\nOutdoor - Outdoor apparel, footwear and equipment\n\nThe North Face®\n\nTimberland®\n\nActive - Active apparel, footwear and accessories\n\nVans®\n\nKipling®\n\nEastpak®\n\nJanSport®\n\nAll Other - included in the tables below for purposes of reconciliation of revenues, profit and assets, but it is not considered a reportable segment. “All Other” includes the following brands: Dickies® (through the date of sale), Altra®, Smartwool®, Napapijri® and Icebreaker®.\n\nThe Company continuously assesses the composition of its portfolio to ensure it is aligned with its strategic objectives and positioned to maximize growth and return to shareholders. In doing so, it evaluates whether changes may need to be made to our internal reporting structure to better support and assess the operations of our business going forward. If changes are made, we will assess the resulting effect, if any, on our reportable segments, operating segments and reporting units.\n\nThe primary financial measures used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources to VF's segments are segment revenues and segment profit. Segment profit comprises the operating income and other income (expense), net line items of each segment. Segment revenues and segment profit are regularly reviewed by the CODM and compared against historical results, forecast and budget information in order to make decisions about how to allocate capital and other resources to each segment.\n\nAccounting policies used for internal management reporting at the individual segments are consistent with those in Note 1. Corporate costs (other than common costs allocated to the segments), goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges and net interest expense are not controlled by segment management and therefore are excluded from the measurement of segment profit. Common costs such as information systems processing, retirement benefits and insurance are allocated from corporate costs to the segments\n\nbased on appropriate metrics such as usage or employment. Corporate costs that are not allocated to the segments consist of corporate headquarters expenses (including compensation and benefits of corporate management and staff, certain legal and professional fees and administrative and general costs), costs of corporate programs or corporate-managed decisions, and other expenses which include a portion of defined benefit pension costs, development costs for management information systems, costs of registering, maintaining and enforcing certain of VF’s trademarks and miscellaneous consolidated costs. Defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. are centrally managed. The current year service cost component of pension cost is allocated to the segments, while the remaining pension cost components are reported in corporate and other expenses.\n\nSegment assets are those used directly in or resulting from the operations of each business, which are accounts receivable and inventories. Segment assets included in the “All Other” category represent accounts receivable and inventory balances related to the brands included within the “All Other” category as noted above and segment assets included in the “Corporate and other” category represent receivable balances primarily related to corporate activities, and both are provided for purposes of reconciliation as they are not considered reportable segments. Total expenditures for additions to long-lived assets are not disclosed as this information is not regularly provided to the CODM at the segment level.\n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-47\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nFinancial information for VF’s segments was as follows:\n\nYear Ended March 2026\n\n(In thousands)OutdoorActiveTotal\n\nReportable segment revenues$5,741,792 $2,720,967 $8,462,759 \n\n“All Other” revenues\n1,142,448 \n\nTotal revenues9,605,207 \n\nLess:\n\nCost of goods sold\n2,616,156 1,170,484 \n\nMarketing expenses479,790 242,317 \n\nOther SG&A expenses\n1,811,678 1,206,473 \n\nOther segment items (a)\n7,032 1,350 \n\nSegment profit841,200 103,043 944,243 \n\nImpairment of goodwill (30,716)\n\nCorporate and other expenses (b)\n(511,815)\n\nInterest expense, net(148,743)\n\n“All Other” profit\n88,249 \n\nIncome from continuing operations before income taxes$341,218 \n\n(a)For each reportable segment, 'Other segment items' include certain foreign currency and hedging gains and losses and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expenses, which are reported in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.\n\n(b)A final pre-tax gain on the sale of Dickies of $127.2 million was recorded in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026.

Refer to Note 10 for additional information related to future lease payments.\n\nIn the ordinary course of business, VF has entered into purchase commitments for finished products and raw materials. Total payments required under these agreements, which primarily relate to finished products, are $1.9 billion, $7.5 million, $5.0 million and $1.8 million for Fiscal 2027 through 2030, respectively, and no commitments thereafter.\n\nVF has entered into commitments for (i) capital spending, (ii) service and maintenance agreements related to its management information systems, and (iii) other obligations. Future payments under these agreements are $112.3 million, $67.6 million, $31.7 million, $27.0 million and $0.1 million for Fiscal 2027 through 2031, respectively, and no commitments thereafter.\n\nSurety bonds, customs bonds, unfunded letters of credit and international bank guarantees, all of which represent contingent guarantees of performance under self-insurance and other programs, totaled $125.7 million as of March 2026. These commitments would only be drawn upon if VF were to fail to meet its claims or other obligations.\n\nContingencies\n\nOn September 12, 2025 and November 6, 2025, putative securities class action complaints naming VF and certain of its current and former directors and officers were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado (the “Court”). The Court consolidated the cases into one action (the “Consolidated Action”). An amended complaint in the Consolidated Action was filed on February 23, 2026, also naming as defendants VF and certain of its current and former directors and officers. The amended complaint asserts claims under Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, purportedly on behalf of a putative class of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired VF securities between September 28, 2022 and May 20, 2025, inclusive. It contends that certain statements made by VF and certain of its officers and directors were allegedly false or misleading and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of the putative class. VF filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on April 24, 2026. VF believes the allegations in the Consolidated Action are entirely without merit and VF will be vigorously defending against them. At this time, the outcome of this matter remains uncertain.\n\nF-50 VF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nNOTE 23 — EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE\n\n \n\nYear Ended March\n\n(In thousands, except per share amounts)202620252024\n\nEarnings (loss) per share — basic:\n\nIncome (loss) from continuing operations$254,920 $69,324 $(1,018,477)\n\nWeighted average common shares outstanding390,739 389,152 388,360 \n\nEarnings (loss) per share from continuing operations$0.65 $0.18 $(2.62)\n\nEarnings (loss) per share — diluted:\n\nIncome (loss) from continuing operations$254,920 $69,324 $(1,018,477)\n\nWeighted average common shares outstanding390,739 389,152 388,360 \n\nIncremental shares from stock options and other dilutive securities5,136 3,419 — \n\nAdjusted weighted average common shares outstanding395,875 392,571 388,360 \n\nEarnings (loss) per share from continuing operations$0.64 $0.18 $(2.62)\n\nOutstanding stock options and other dilutive securities of 11.7 million and 11.8 million shares were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the years ended March 2026 and 2025, respectively, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to those years. In addition, 2.1 million and 1.9 million shares of performance-based RSUs and RSUs with a TSR component were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the years ended March 2026 and 2025, respectively, because these units were not considered to be contingent outstanding shares in those years.\n\nIn the year ended March 2024, the dilutive impacts of all outstanding stock options and other dilutive securities were excluded from dilutive shares as a result of the Company's loss from continuing operations for the period and, as such, their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, a total of 19.0 million potentially dilutive shares related to stock options and other dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the year ended March 2024.\n\nNOTE 24 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS\n\nFinancial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is based on the observability and objectivity of the pricing inputs, as follows:\n\n•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.\n\n•Level 2 — Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable\n\ndata through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.\n\n•Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. These inputs would normally be VF’s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.\n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-51\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nRECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS\n\nThe following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured and recorded in the consolidated financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis:\n\n Total Fair\nValue\nFair Value Measurement Using (a)\n\n(In thousands)Level 1Level 2Level 3\n\nMarch 2026\n\nFinancial assets:\n\nCash equivalents:\n\nMoney market funds$220,135 $220,135 $— $— \n\nTime deposits74,648 74,648 — — \n\nDerivative financial instruments28,914 — 28,914 — \n\nDeferred compensation and other72,814 72,814 — — \n\nFinancial liabilities:\n\nDerivative financial instruments48,723 — 48,723 — \n\nDeferred compensation69,043 — 69,043 — \n\nContingent consulting fees6,534 — — 6,534 \n\nTotal Fair\nValue\nFair Value Measurement Using (a)\n\n(In thousands)Level 1Level 2Level 3\n\nMarch 2025\n\nFinancial assets:\n\nCash equivalents:\n\nMoney market funds$79,485 $79,485 $— $— \n\nTime deposits12,280 12,280 — — \n\nDerivative financial instruments34,371 — 34,371 — \n\nDeferred compensation and other78,769 78,769 — — \n\nFinancial liabilities:\n\nDerivative financial instruments30,003 — 30,003 — \n\nDeferred compensation75,046 — 75,046 — \n\nContingent consulting fees23,900 — — 23,900 \n\n(a)There were no transfers among the levels within the fair value hierarchy during the years ended March 2026 or 2025.\n\nThe following table presents the activity related to the contingent consulting fees designated as Level 3:\n\n(In thousands)Contingent Consulting Fees\n\nBalance, March 2025$23,900 \n\nCash payments(20,000)\n\nChange in fair value2,634 \n\nBalance, March 2026$6,534 \n\nVF’s cash equivalents include money market funds and time deposits with maturities within three months of their purchase dates, that approximate fair value based on Level 1 measurements. The fair value of derivative financial instruments, which consist of foreign exchange forward contracts, is determined based on observable market inputs (Level 2), including spot and forward exchange rates for foreign currencies, and considers the credit risk of the Company and its counterparties. VF’s deferred compensation assets primarily represent investments held within plan trusts as an economic hedge of the related deferred compensation liabilities (Note 17). These investments primarily include mutual funds (Level 1) that\n\nare valued based on quoted prices in active markets. Liabilities related to VF’s deferred compensation plans are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of the participants’ selection of hypothetical investments.\n\nDuring the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, VF entered into a contract with a consulting firm to support Reinvent, VF's transformation program. Fees related to this contract could be up to $146.0 million, which includes $71.0 million of fixed fees and $75.0 million of contingent fees tied to increases in VF's stock price.

Accordingly, VF has utilized the Monte Carlo valuation model (Level 3) to estimate the fair value of the award at its inception, and will adjust such fair value on a quarterly basis over the measurement period, which concludes on June 30, 2027. Changes in the fair value are recognized in the SG&A expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the relevant service period, which concluded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026. Accordingly, future changes in fair value will be recognized immediately in the SG&A expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The valuation includes the effects of market conditions that are based upon VF's stock price performance relative to stock price targets and a minimum payout dependent on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index return and VF's TSR versus that of peer companies over the measurement period. During the year ended March 2026, $20.0 million of contingent fees were paid to the consulting firm. As of March 2026, the total fair value of the remaining contingent fees was $6.5 million, with $2.6 million recognized in the year\n\nended March 2026. As of March 2025, the total fair value of the remaining contingent fees was $27.8 million, with $23.9 million recognized in the year ended March 2025.\n\nAll other significant financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded in the consolidated financial statements at cost, except life insurance contracts which are recorded at cash surrender value. These other financial assets and financial liabilities include cash held as demand deposits, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At March 2026 and 2025, their carrying values approximated their fair values. Additionally, at March 2026 and 2025, the carrying values of VF’s long-term debt, including the current portion, were $3,519.9 million and $3,966.2 million, respectively, compared with fair values of $3,262.5 million and $3,628.8 million at those respective dates. Fair value for long-term debt is a Level 2 estimate based on quoted market prices or values of comparable borrowings.\n\nNONRECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS\n\nCertain non-financial assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, these assets are required to be assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be fully recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. In the event an impairment is required, the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value, using market-based assumptions.\n\nThe Company recorded $6.7 million, $10.4 million and $39.4 million of impairments in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to retail store assets, lease right-of-use assets and other fixed assets. These impairments were recorded in the SG&A expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.\n\nIn addition, VF has certain equity investments included within the other assets line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the year ended March 2025, the Company recorded $15.6 million of impairments related to these investments. These impairments were recorded in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. There were no impairments of equity investments in the years ended March 2026 or 2024.\n\nThe Company recorded $30.7 million, $89.2 million and $507.6 million of impairments in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets. Refer to additional discussion of management's goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing below.\n\nFiscal 2026 Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment Testing\n\nNapapijri Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis\n\nDuring the third quarter of Fiscal 2026, management determined that a recent downward revision in the Napapijri forward-looking financial projections was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Napapijri reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. Recent leadership changes within the brand have resulted in strategic actions that are projected to deliver short- to medium-term revenue and profit reductions to support long-term growth of the brand. The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the September 28, 2025 testing date were $62.3 million and $32.4 million, respectively. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $30.7 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026 to write down the Napapijri reporting unit carrying value to its estimated fair value.

If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment on the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset or additional impairment on the reporting unit goodwill could occur in the future.\n\nVans Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis\n\nIn conjunction with VF's annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, management performed a quantitative impairment analysis of the Vans reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The decision to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment analysis was based on recent declines in revenue and profits and forward looking financial projections. Based on the analysis, management concluded the Vans reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset were not impaired. For goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount by a significant amount. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset also exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. The carrying values of the Vans reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $166.9 million and $158.5 million, respectively.\n\nThe Vans reporting unit is included in the Active reportable segment.\n\nManagement's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Vans reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuations were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.\n\nKey assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Vans reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset include:\n\n•Financial projections and future cash flows, including the current year that considered recent actual results, with revenue and profitability projections throughout the forecast period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business;\n\n•Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the brand operates and the related intellectual property is domiciled;\n\n•Royalty rates based on market data as well as active license agreements for other VF brands; and\n\n•Market-based discount rates.\n\nThe valuation model used by management in the impairment testing assumes recovery from the recent downturn in the brand's operating results and the return to revenue growth and improved profitability over the projection period. If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment on the reporting unit goodwill or indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset could occur in the future.\n\nIndefinite-Lived Intangible Assets - Significant Assumptions\n\nThe impairment testing of the Napapijri and Vans indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets during Fiscal 2026 used significant unobservable inputs to estimate fair values. The discount rates used in the testing ranged from 12.5% to 16.0%, with a weighted average of 15.6% based on relative fair value. The royalty rates used in the testing ranged from 2.0% to 4.0%, with a weighted average of 2.2% based on relative fair value. The long-term revenue growth rates used in the testing were 2.0%.\n\nOther Reporting Units and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets - Qualitative Impairment Analysis\n\nFor the remaining reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets, VF elected to perform a qualitative assessment during the annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing, as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, to determine whether it was more likely than not that the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets in those reporting units were impaired. The carrying values of the reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets subject to qualitative assessment at the testing date were $424.9 million and $1.3 billion, respectively. In this qualitative assessment, VF considered relevant events and circumstances for each reporting unit, including (i) current year results and performance versus management's plans, (ii) financial outlook based on the latest internal financial plan, (iii) changes in the reporting unit carrying value since prior year and the amounts relative to the size of the respective business, (iv) industry and market conditions in which the reporting unit operates, (v) macroeconomic conditions, including discount rate and foreign exchange rate changes, and (vi) changes in products or services offered by the reporting unit. If applicable, performance in recent years was compared to forecasts included in prior valuations. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, VF concluded it was more likely than not that the carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets were less than their fair values, and that further quantitative testing was not necessary.\n\nF-54 VF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nFiscal 2025 Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment Testing\n\nDickies Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis\n\nDuring the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, management determined that the continued downturn in the Dickies financial results and projections, combined with expectations of a slower recovery than previously anticipated, was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The carrying value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the November 23, 2024 testing date was $290.0 million. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded an impairment charge of $51.0 million to write down the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset to its estimated fair value.\n\nThe Dickies® brand was previously included in the “All Other” category.\n\nManagement's revenue forecasts used in the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuation considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuation were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.\n\nKey assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset include:\n\n•Revenue projections, including a base year that considered recent actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, continued weakness in certain key accounts and markets, slower recovery from the recent downturn, a return to moderate revenue growth by the end of the projection period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business, and a terminal growth rate based on the expected long-term growth rate of the business;\n\n•Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the related intellectual property is domiciled;\n\n•A reduced royalty rate based on market data and current performance of the brand as well as active license agreements for the Dickies® brand and similar VF brands; and\n\n•Market-based discount rate.\n\nThe valuation model used by management in the impairment testing assumes an extended recovery period from the recent downturn in the brand's operating results and a return to moderate revenue growth by the end of the projection period.\n\nOn November 12, 2025, VF completed the sale of Dickies.

The\n\ndecision to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment analysis was based on results from management's prior testing, combined with a downward revision to the latest Fiscal 2025 forecast and forward-looking financial projections. The carrying values of the Icebreaker reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $38.2 million and $59.1 million, respectively. As a result of the annual impairment testing, VF concluded that the Icebreaker reporting unit goodwill was fully impaired and thus recorded an impairment charge of $38.2 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2025. Based on the analysis, management concluded that the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset was not impaired and the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount.\n\nThe Icebreaker reporting unit is included in the “All Other” category.\n\nManagement's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Icebreaker reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors.

The decision to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment analysis was based on results from management's prior testing, combined with recent actual financial results lower than previous internal forecasts and a downward revision to forward-looking financial projections. Based on the analysis, management concluded the Timberland PRO reporting unit goodwill was not impaired. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 18%. The carrying value of the Timberland PRO reporting unit goodwill at the testing date was $51.5 million.\n\nThe Timberland PRO reporting unit is included in the Outdoor reportable segment. VF began managing its Timberland® and Timberland PRO® brands as one operating segment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026.\n\nManagement's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Timberland PRO reporting unit valuation considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuation were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.\n\nKey assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Timberland PRO reporting unit include:\n\n•Financial projections and future cash flows, including the current year that considered actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, with consistent revenue growth and improved profitability throughout the forecast period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business and is in-line with historical financial results, and terminal growth rates based on the expected long-term growth rate of the business;\n\n•Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the brand operates;\n\n•Royalty rate assumption consistent with that used in prior Timberland reporting unit analyses; and\n\n•Market-based discount rate.\n\nThe valuation model used by management in the impairment testing assumes a return to consistent revenue growth and improved profitability over the projection period in line with historical results. If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment of the reporting unit goodwill could occur in the future.\n\nManagement performed a sensitivity analysis on the impairment model used to test the Timberland PRO reporting unit goodwill. In doing so, management determined that a 20% reduction in the annual growth assumption for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) used in the projections, combined with a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model resulted in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to be below its carrying value, which would result in goodwill impairment.\n\nSmartwool Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis\n\nIn conjunction with VF's annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing as of the beginning of the\n\nfourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, management performed a quantitative impairment analysis of the Smartwool reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The decision to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment analysis was based on the current year decline in revenue and a downward revision to the profit margins included in the forward-looking financial projections. Based on the analysis, management concluded the Smartwool reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset were not impaired. For goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by a significant amount. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset also exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. The carrying values of the Smartwool reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $53.5 million and $75.4 million, respectively.\n\nThe Smartwool reporting unit is included in the “All Other” category.\n\nManagement's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Smartwool reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors.

The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $407.9 million and $999.5 million, respectively. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $195.3 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 to write down the Timberland reporting unit carrying value to its estimated fair value. No impairment charge was recorded on the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount.\n\nDuring the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, management determined that the continued downturn in Timberland financial results and weakness in the wholesale channel, combined with expectations of a slower recovery, was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Timberland reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $211.7 million and $999.5 million, respectively. As a result of the impairment testing performed, management concluded that the Timberland reporting unit goodwill was fully impaired and thus recorded an additional impairment charge of $211.7 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2024. Based on the analysis, management concluded that the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset was not impaired and the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by 14%.\n\nThe Timberland reporting unit is included in the Outdoor reportable segment.\n\nManagement's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Timberland reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors.

If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset could occur in the future.\n\nManagement performed a sensitivity analysis on the impairment model used to test the Timberland indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. In doing so, management determined that a 40% decrease in the annual growth rate assumption for revenues used in the projections, combined with a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate used in the relief-from-royalty model resulted in the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset to be below its carrying value, which would result in impairment.\n\nDickies Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis\n\nDuring the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, management determined that the recent downturn in the Dickies historical financial results, combined with a downward revision to the latest Fiscal 2024 forecast, was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Dickies reporting unit goodwill and the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. Based on the analysis, management concluded that both the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset were not impaired. For goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 8%. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $61.2 million and $290.0 million, respectively.\n\nDuring the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, management determined that the continued downturn in the Dickies financial results, weakness in certain key U.S. wholesale customer accounts, including lost product placement, and weakness in certain international markets, combined with expectations of a slower recovery, which have resulted in further reductions to the financial projections, was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Dickies reporting unit goodwill and the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset.

In doing so, management determined that individual changes of either a 10% reduction in the annual growth assumption for EBITDA used in the projections, or a 200 basis point increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model resulted in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to be below its carrying value, which would result in goodwill impairment.\n\nSmartwool Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis\n\nIn conjunction with VF's annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, management performed a quantitative impairment analysis of the Smartwool reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The decision to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment analysis was based on current year declines in revenue and segment profit and reductions to recent financial projections, combined with recent actual segment profit margins lower than previous internal forecasts. Based on the analysis, management concluded the Smartwool reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset were not impaired. For goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by a significant amount. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset also exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. The carrying values of the Smartwool reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $53.5 million and $75.4 million, respectively.\n\nThe Smartwool reporting unit is included in the “All Other” category.\n\nManagement's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Smartwool reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and\n\nmacroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuations were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.\n\nKey assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Smartwool reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset include:\n\n•Financial projections and future cash flows, including a base year that considered recent actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, continued near-term weakness in the wholesale channel, moderate revenue growth and improved profitability throughout the forecast period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business, and terminal growth rates based on the expected long-term growth rate of the business;\n\n•Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the brand operates and the related intellectual property is domiciled;\n\n•Royalty rates based on market data as well as active license agreements for other VF brands; and\n\n•Market-based discount rates.\n\nThe valuation model used by management in the impairment testing assumes recovery from the recent downturn in the brand's operating results and the return to revenue growth and improved profitability over the projection period. If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment of the reporting unit goodwill or indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset could occur in the future.\n\nIndefinite-Lived Intangible Assets - Significant Assumptions\n\nThe impairment testing of indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets during Fiscal 2024 used significant unobservable inputs to estimate fair values. The discount rates used in the testing ranged from 13.0% to 18.5%, with a weighted average of 14.8% based on relative fair value. The royalty rates used in the testing ranged from 4.0% to 7.0%, with a weighted average of 6.3% based on relative fair value. The long-term revenue growth rates used in the testing were 2.0%.\n\nMethodology and Management's Use of Estimates and Assumptions\n\nOur impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets utilizes significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) to determine fair value.\n\nThe fair value of reporting units for goodwill impairment testing is determined using a combination of two valuation methods: an income approach and a market approach. The income approach is based on projected future (debt-free) cash flows that are discounted to present value. The appropriate discount rate is based on the reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) that takes market participant assumptions into consideration. For the market approach, management uses both the guideline company and similar transaction methods. The guideline company method analyzes market multiples of revenues and EBITDA for a group of comparable public companies. The market multiples used in the valuation are\n\nbased on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the reporting unit compared to the selected guideline companies. Under the similar transactions method, valuation multiples are calculated utilizing actual transaction prices and revenue/EBITDA data from target companies deemed similar to the reporting unit. Management typically assigns more weight to the income-based valuation method.\n\nManagement uses the relief-from-royalty method to value indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets. Under this method, revenues expected to be generated by the trademark are multiplied by a selected royalty rate. The royalty rate is selected based on consideration of (i) royalty rates included in active license agreements, if applicable, (ii) royalty rates received by market participants in the apparel or footwear industry, and (iii) the current performance of the reporting unit.

Assumptions used in the valuations are similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of these businesses.\n\nManagement's Use of Estimates and Assumptions\n\nManagement made its estimates based on information available as of the date of our assessments, using assumptions we believe market participants would use in performing an independent valuation of the business. Although management believes the estimates and assumptions used in the impairment testing are reasonable and appropriate, it is possible that VF's assumptions and conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of\n\ngoodwill or indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets in any reporting unit could change in future periods. There can be no assurance the estimates and assumptions, particularly our long-term financial projections, used in our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future, if, for example, (i) the businesses do not perform as projected, (ii) overall economic conditions in Fiscal 2027 or future years vary from current assumptions (including changes in discount rates, royalty rates, foreign currency exchange rates and tariffs), (iii) business conditions or strategies change from current assumptions, including loss of major customers or channels, (iv) investors require higher rates of return on equity investments in the marketplace, or (v) enterprise values of comparable publicly traded companies, or actual sales transactions of comparable companies, were to decline, resulting in lower multiples of revenues and EBITDA.\n\nChanges in these estimates and assumptions could result in a future impairment charge of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets and such charges could have a material effect on VF’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.\n\nNOTE 25 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES\n\nSummary of Derivative Financial Instruments\n\nAll of VF’s outstanding derivative financial instruments at March 2026 are foreign currency exchange forward contracts. Although derivatives meet the criteria for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedging relationship, a limited number of derivative contracts intended to hedge assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.\n\nThe notional amounts of all outstanding foreign currency exchange forward contracts were $3.1 billion at both March 2026 and March 2025, consisting primarily of contracts hedging\n\nexposures to the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, Mexican peso, Swiss franc, Taiwan dollar, Swedish krona, Polish zloty, South Korean won and Japanese yen. These derivative contracts have maturities up to 20 months.\n\nDuring the year ended March 2025, VF settled interest rate swap contracts that were in place to hedge the cash flow risk of interest payments on the variable-rate DDTL Agreement. The DDTL was prepaid on October 4, 2024.\n\nThe following table presents outstanding derivatives on an individual contract basis:\n\n  Fair Value of Derivatives\nwith Unrealized GainsFair Value of Derivatives\nwith Unrealized Losses\n\n(In thousands)March 2026March 2025March 2026March 2025\n\nDerivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments:\n\nCash flow foreign exchange contracts$28,122 $32,608 $(48,711)$(29,847)\n\nDerivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments:\n\nForeign exchange contracts792 1,763 (12)(156)\n\nTotal derivatives$28,914 $34,371 $(48,723)$(30,003)\n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-61\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nVF records and presents the fair values of all of its derivative assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis, even though they are subject to master netting agreements.

These contracts are not designated as hedges, and are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized directly in earnings. Gains or losses on these contracts largely offset the net transaction losses or gains on the related assets and liabilities. In the case of derivative contracts executed on foreign currency exposures that are no longer probable of occurring, VF de-designates these hedges and the fair value changes of these instruments are also recognized directly in earnings. During the year ended March 2024, certain derivative contracts were de-designated as the related hedged forecasted transactions were no longer deemed probable of occurring. Accordingly, the Company reclassified amounts from accumulated OCL and recognized an $8.8 million loss in cost of goods sold during the year ended March 2024. There were no material reclassifications in the other periods presented. The changes in the fair value of derivative contracts not designated as hedges, recognized as gains or losses in VF's Consolidated Statements of Operations were not material for the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024.\n\nOther Derivative Information\n\nAt March 2026, accumulated OCL included $53.0 million of pre-tax net deferred losses for foreign currency exchange contracts that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The amounts ultimately reclassified to earnings will depend on exchange rates in effect when outstanding derivative contracts are settled.\n\nNet Investment Hedge\n\nThe Company has designated its euro-denominated fixed-rate notes, which represented €1.5 billion in aggregate principal as of March 2026, as a net investment hedge of VF’s investment in\n\ncertain foreign operations. In the year ended March 2026, VF de-designated the aggregate principal of its €500.0 million euro-denominated fixed-rate notes due 2026, that were redeemed in February 2026, and entered into a fair value hedging relationship as discussed in the “Fair Value Hedge” section below. As a result of the de-designation, VF recognized $7.7 million of expense in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026.\n\nBecause this debt qualified as a non-derivative hedging instrument, foreign currency transaction gains or losses of the debt are deferred in the foreign currency translation and other component of accumulated OCL as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on the hedged investments. During the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized an after-tax loss of $108.6 million, an after-tax loss of $4.6 million and an after-tax gain of $21.6 million, respectively, in other comprehensive income (loss) related to the net investment hedge transaction. Any amounts deferred in accumulated OCL will remain until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated.\n\nFair Value Hedge\n\nThe Company has designated a €500.0 million foreign currency exchange forward contract as a fair value hedge of the principal value of euro-denominated fixed-rate notes due 2026, through its redemption in February 2026. Gains and losses related to the spot component of the hedge are recognized in other income (expense), net with offsetting gains and losses on the hedged recognized liability. Gains and losses related to hedge components excluded from the effectiveness assessment (forward points) are amortized under a systematic and rational method to other income (expense) over the life of the hedge. The revaluation of the excluded component is reported in other comprehensive income (loss). As of March 2026, the company recognized a gain of $11.0 million from the foreign currency remeasurement related to the spot component of the derivative and a loss of $3.1 million from the amortization of the excluded component in other income (expense).\n\nNOTE 26 — SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION\n\nYear Ended March\n\n(In thousands)202620252024\n\nIncome taxes paid, net of refunds (a)\n$171,775 $162,562 $349,978 \n\nInterest paid, net of amounts capitalized145,110 162,918 175,822 \n\nNoncash transactions:\n\nProperty, plant and equipment expenditures included in accounts payable or accrued liabilities\n25,026 19,568 15,903 \n\nComputer software costs included in accounts payable or accrued liabilities\n11,751 18,229 17,080 \n\n(a)Includes both continuing and discontinued operations.\n\nVF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K F-63\n\n[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)\n\nVF CORPORATION\n\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\n\nMarch 2026\n\nNOTE 27 — RESTRUCTURING\n\nThe Company incurs restructuring charges related to strategic initiatives and cost optimization of business activities. A description of significant restructuring programs and other restructuring charges is provided below.\n\nReinvent\n\nOn October 30, 2023, VF introduced Reinvent, a transformation program to enhance focus on brand-building and to improve operating performance and allow VF to achieve its full potential. All actions related to the program were substantially complete at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. Of the total charges, 72% related to severance and employee-related benefits and the\n\nremainder primarily related to asset impairments and write-downs.
