Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 Income Statement Review
- Revenue increased 9% (up 12% in constant dollars) to $2.8 billion driven by increases in the EMEA and North America regions partially offset by a decline in the APAC region primarily due to COVID lockdowns. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 also included an extra week when compared to the fiscal 2022 period due to VF's 53-week fiscal 2021.
- Gross margin decreased 20 basis points to 51.9%, primarily driven by incremental freight costs. On an adjusted basis, gross margin decreased 50 basis points to 52.2%.
- Operating income on a reported basis was $192 million. On an adjusted basis, operating income increased 30% (36% in constant dollars) to $224 million. Operating margin on a reported basis was 6.8%. Adjusted operating margin increased 120 basis points to 7.9%.

- Gross margin increased 180 basis points to 54.5%, primarily driven by a higher proportion of full price sales more than offsetting incremental freight costs. On an adjusted basis, gross margin increased 150 basis points, including a 20 basis point positive impact from acquisitions, to 54.8%.

COVID-19 Outbreak Update
To help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and in response to public health advisories and governmental actions and regulations, VF has modified its business practices, including the temporary closing of offices and retail stores, instituting travel bans and restrictions and implementing health and safety measures including social distancing and quarantines.
The zero tolerance policy in China in response to COVID-19 is impacting some specific raw material suppliers within the country. The majority of VF's supply chain is currently operational. Suppliers are complying with local public health advisories and governmental restrictions. Most final product manufacturing and assembly suppliers are back to normal operating levels. Continued port congestion, equipment availability and other logistics challenges have contributed to ongoing product delays. VF is working with its suppliers to minimize disruption and is employing expedited freight strategically as needed. VF's distribution centers are operational in accordance with local government guidelines while maintaining enhanced health and safety protocols.
In North America, no stores were closed during the fourth quarter. Currently, all stores are open.
In the EMEA region, 6% of stores were closed at the beginning of the fourth quarter and at the end of the fourth quarter and currently no stores are closed due to COVID-19.
In the APAC region, including Mainland China, no stores were closed at the beginning of the fourth quarter. 12% of stores were closed at the end of the fourth quarter. Currently, 19% of stores are closed.
VF is continuing to monitor the COVID-19 outbreak globally and will comply with guidance from government entities and public health authorities to prioritize the health and well-being of its employees, customers, trade partners and consumers. As COVID-19 uncertainty continues, VF expects ongoing disruption to its business operations.
Balance Sheet Highlights
Inventories were up 34% compared with the same period last year. VF returned approximately $194 million of cash to shareholders through dividends during the quarter. The company also repurchased approximately $50 million of shares during the quarter and has $2.5 billion remaining under its current share repurchase authorization.
Dividend Declared
VF’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share, payable on June 21, 2022, to shareholders of record on June 10, 2022. Subject to approval by its Board of Directors, VF intends to continue to pay its regularly scheduled cash dividend.
Update on Tax Dispute in Connection with Timberland Acquisition
As previously reported, VF petitioned the U.S. Tax Court (the Court) to resolve an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) dispute regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with VF’s acquisition of The Timberland Company in September 2011. While the IRS argues that all such income should have been immediately included in 2011, VF has reported periodic income inclusions in subsequent tax years. Both parties moved for summary judgment on the issue, and on January 31, 2022, the Court issued its opinion in favor of the IRS. VF believes the opinion of the Court was in error based on the technical merits and intends to appeal; however, VF will be required to pay the 2011 taxes and interest being disputed or post a surety bond. It is anticipated that during fiscal 2023, the IRS will assess, and VF will pay, the 2011 taxes and interest, which would be recorded as a tax receivable based on VF's expected probability of a successful appeal. The gross amount of taxes and interest as of April 2, 2022 was estimated at approximately $845 million and will continue to accrue interest until paid. VF continues to remain confident in its timing and treatment of the income inclusion and VF is vigorously defending its position. However, should the Court opinion ultimately be upheld on appeal, this tax receivable may not be collected by VF. If the Court opinion is upheld, VF should be entitled to a refund of taxes paid on the periodic inclusions that VF has reported. However, any such refund could be substantially reduced by potential indirect tax effects resulting from application of the Court opinion. Deferred tax liabilities, representing VF’s future tax on annual inclusions, would also be released. The net impact to tax expense estimated as of April 2, 2022 could be up to $700 million.
Webcast Information
VF will host its fourth quarter fiscal 2022 conference call beginning at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time today. The conference call will be broadcast live via the Internet, accessible at ir.vfc.com. For those unable to listen to the live broadcast, an archived version will be available at the same location.

Constant Currency - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency
This release refers to “reported” amounts in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which include translation and transactional impacts from foreign currency exchange rates. This release also refers to “constant dollar” amounts, which exclude the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. Reconciliations of GAAP measures to constant currency amounts are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release, which identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides management’s view of why this information is useful to investors.
Discontinued Operations - Occupational Workwear Business
On June 28, 2021, VF completed the sale of its Occupational Workwear business. The Occupational Workwear business was comprised primarily of the following brands and businesses: Red Kap^®^, VF Solutions^®^, Bulwark^®^, Workrite^®^, Walls^®^, Terra^®^, Kodiak^®^, Work Authority^®^ and Horace Small^®^. The business also included a license for certain Dickies^®^ occupational workwear products that were historically sold through the business-to-business channel. Accordingly, the company has reported the related held-for-sale assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations and included the operating results and cash flows of the business in discontinued operations for all periods, through the date of sale.
Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Transaction and Deal Related Activities, Costs Related to Specified Strategic Business Decisions and Tax Items
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude transaction and deal related activities associated with the acquisition of the Supreme^®^ brand. Total transaction and deal related activities include an increase in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability of $8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and a decrease of $150 million in fiscal 2022, and integration costs of approximately $1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and $7 million in fiscal 2022.
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude costs related to VF's business model transformation, a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations and specific charges related to certain assets impacted by the conflict in Ukraine. Total costs were approximately $23 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and $60 million in fiscal 2022.
The adjusted amounts in this release exclude approximately $67 million and $119 million net tax expense associated with certain discrete tax adjustments recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and during fiscal 2022, respectively.
Combined, the above items negatively impacted earnings per share by $0.24 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and $0.08 during fiscal 2022. All adjusted amounts referenced herein exclude the effects of these amounts.
Reconciliations of measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to adjusted amounts are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release, which identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides management’s view of why this information is useful to investors. The company also provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we cannot predict certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results, including the impact of foreign currency and other strategic initiatives. Additionally, the impact of the anticipated payment of taxes and interest related to the dispute with the IRS regarding the Timberland acquisition in 2011 described above has been excluded from fiscal 2023 adjusted cash flow from operations.

Constant Currency Financial Information
VF is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by VF from translating its foreign revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results. As a supplement to our reported operating results, we present constant currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We use constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how our business performed excluding the effects of changes in the rates used to calculate foreign currency translation. Management believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in our businesses.
To calculate foreign currency translation on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period).
These constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Specified strategic business decisions also include costs related to a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations of $5.8 million<br> and $41.3 million in the three and twelve months ended March 2022, respectively. Also included in the adjustments are specific charges related to certain assets impacted by the conflict in Ukraine of $8.7 million in the three and<br> twelve months ended March 2022. The specified strategic business decisions also include non-operating income of $1.5 million during the twelve months ended March 2022, associated with VF's transformation initiatives. The specified<br> strategic business decisions resulted in a net tax benefit of $1.3 million and $6.5 million in the three and twelve months ended March 2022, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||
| ^(c)^ Tax items include $67.3 million and $119.2 million net tax expense associated with certain discrete tax adjustments recognized during the three and twelve months ended<br> March 2022, respectively. This is comprised of $67.3 million tax expense during the three and twelve months ended March 2022 related to changes to deferred tax benefits previously recognized under Swiss Tax Reform, and $87.1 million<br> tax expense for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from updated estimates related to intellectual property transfers completed in a prior period and $35.2 million tax benefit related to the reorganization of certain foreign<br> operations recognized during the twelve months ended March 2022. | |||||||||||||||||||

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The financial information above has been presented on a GAAP basis, on an adjusted basis, which excludes the impact of transaction and deal related activities, activity related to specified strategic business decisions and certain tax items, and on an adjusted organic basis, which excludes the operating results of Supreme (for the nine months ended December 2021). Contribution from acquisition also excludes transaction and deal related costs. These adjusted presentations are non-GAAP measures. Management believes these measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding VF's underlying business trends and the performance of VF's ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations.
Management uses the above financial measures internally in its budgeting and review process and, in some cases, as a factor in determining compensation. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, VF's operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The financial information above has been presented on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis, which excludes the impact of transaction and deal related costs and activity related to specified strategic business decisions. The adjusted presentation provides non-GAAP measures. Management believes these measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding VF's underlying business trends and the performance of VF's ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations.
Management uses the above financial measures internally in its budgeting and review process and, in some cases, as a factor in determining compensation. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, VF's operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
