NOTE 2 RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS


Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In May 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with CustomersNo. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 606)"842)”, a new accounting standard on revenue recognition that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers.leasing. The FASB subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics.topics, including permitted transition methods. Collectively, the guidance is referred to as FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606. The842. This standard prescribesrequires companies to record most leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, and also retains a five-stepdual model approach to revenue recognition: (1) identify the contracts with the customer; (2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contracts; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations;for assessing lease classification and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied. The standard also requires additional disclosure regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.recognizing expense. The Company adopted this standard on April 1, 2018,March 31, 2019, utilizing the modified retrospective method and applying this approach to contracts not completed as of that date. Thehas recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard has been recognized in retained earnings. ComparativeThe effective date of the adoption has been used as the date of initial application, and thus comparative prior period financial information has not been restated and continues to be reported under accounting standards in effect for those periods.
The standard provides certain optional practical expedients for transition. The Company elected the transition relief package of practical expedients by applying previous accounting conclusions under ASC Topic 840, Leases ("ASC 840"), to all leases that existed prior to the transition date. As a result, VF did not reassess (i) whether existing or expired contracts contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any existing or expired leases, or (iii) whether lease origination costs qualified as initial direct costs. The
 
Company also elected the land easement practical expedient, which allows the Company to apply ASC 842 prospectively to land easements after the adoption date if they were not previously accounted for under ASC 840. Certain leases contain both lease and non-lease components. For leases associated with specific asset classes, including certain real estate, vehicles, manufacturing machinery 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 has elected to account 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 stand-alone prices. Further, the Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or less.
The adoption of ASC 606842 resulted in a net increase decrease of$2.0 $2.5 millionin the retained earnings line item of the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 1, 2018.March 31, 2019. The cumulative effect adjustment relates primarily to i)adoption of ASC 842 also resulted in the recognition of revenues for certain wholesaleoperating lease right-of-use assets and e-commerce transactions at shipment rather than upon delivery to the customer based on our evaluation of the transfer of control of the goods, ii) discontinued capitalization of certain costs related to ongoing customer arrangements and iii) adjustments to the timing of recognition for certain royalty amounts.
Other effects of the adoption include presentation of allowances for sales incentive programs, discounts, markdowns, chargebacks, and returns as refundoperating lease liabilities rather than as a reduction to accounts receivable and presentation of the right of return asset within other current assets rather than as a component of inventory in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, sourcing fees received from customers and advertising contributions from licensees that had previously been reported as an offset to costs or expenses are now reported as revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

In March 2018,August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, No. 2017-12, "Income TaxesDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 740)815): AmendmentsTargeted Improvements to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118", which allowed Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") registrants to record provisional amounts in earnings for the year ended December 30, 2017 due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”). The Company recognized the estimated income tax effects of the Tax Act in its 2017 consolidated financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") and recorded revisions of our provisional estimate during the three months ended June 2018 and March 2018. Refer to Note 13 for more information regarding the amounts recorded.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities"Hedging Activities", an update that amends and simplifies certain

This guidance became effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019,2020, but did not impact VF's consolidated financial statements. The
In February 2018, the FASB has subsequently issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income", an update that addresses the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate due to clarify the previous guidance.enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

In March 2016,June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, No. 2018-07, "Liabilities—Extinguishments of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20)Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products"Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting", an update that expands the scope of Topic 718 to their accounting guidance on extinguishments of financial liabilities that exempts prepaid stored-value products, or gift cards,include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from the existing guidance.

This guidance became effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019,2020, but did not impact VF’sVF's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016,July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, No. 2018-09, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments"Codification Improvements", an update to theirthat provides technical corrections, clarifications and other improvements across a variety of accounting topics.

This guidanceeach update; however, many of them became effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 but2020. The guidance did not impact VF’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business", an update that provides a more narrow framework to be used in evaluating whether a set of assets and activities constitutes a business. This guidance became effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 and was applied when accounting for the acquisitions completed during the period, but did not impact our conclusions on whether they are a business. Refer to Note 4 for further information related to acquisitions.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost", an update which requires employers to disaggregate the service cost component from other components of net periodic benefit costs. The standard requires employers to report the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs and to report the other components of net periodic benefit costs (which include interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service costs or credits and actuarial gains and losses) separately and outside of operating income. The update specifies that only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization, which is consistent with VF’s current practice. The presentation change in the Consolidated Statements of Income requires application on a retrospective basis. The ASU was adopted by the Company on April 1, 2018, and as a result, operating income increased and non-operating expense increased $1.6 million for the three months ended June 2017. VF applied the practical expedient permitted under the guidance which allows entities to use information previously disclosed in the pension and other post-retirement benefit plans footnote as the basis to apply the

retrospective presentation requirements. Refer to pension disclosure in Note 10.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting", an update that amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. This update provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting. This guidance became effective for VF beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, but did not impact VF’sVF's consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, No. 2016-13, "LeasesFinancial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 842)"326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which requires entities to use a new accounting standardforward-looking approach based on leasing.expected losses to estimate
credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics, including permitted transition methods. This new standard will require companies to record most leased assets and related liabilities on the balance sheet, and also retains a dual model approach for assessing lease classification and recognizing expense. VF's cross-functional implementation team has completed the design phase of the project, which involved reviewing the standard's provisions, evaluating real estate and non-real estate lease arrangements and identifying arrangements that may contain embedded leases. This project is now in the implementation phase and the team is collecting information from lease contracts, assessing potential embedded leases and evaluating accounting policy elections. VF is also evaluating the impact of the new accounting standard on the Company's systems, processes and controls. Based on the efforts to date, VF expects this standard will have a material impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheets but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company will adopt the new standard in the first quarter of the year ended March 28, 2020 ("Fiscal 2020") utilizing the modified retrospective method and will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings at the beginning of the period of adoption.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables.topics.

In January 2018, the FASB released guidance on the accounting for tax on the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions of the Tax Act. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The guidance indicates that companies must make a policy decision to either record deferred taxes related to GILTI inclusions or treat any taxes on GILTI inclusions as period costs. The Company is continuing to evaluate these options and will make its decision regarding the accounting policy election within the measurement period as provided under SAB 118. The Company has considered the taxes resulting from GILTI as a current-period expense for the three months ended June 2018.
In FebruaryAugust 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, No. 2018-14, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)Compensation— Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income"Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans", an update that addressesmodifies the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate due to the enactment of the Tax Act on items within accumulateddisclosure requirements for employers who sponsor defined benefit pension or other comprehensive income (loss).postretirement plans.

Revenue isFor the three months ended June 2019, the Company recognized when$24.7 million of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance during the period. The change in the contract asset and contract liability balances primarily results from the timing differences between the Company's satisfaction of 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 of 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. For sourcing arrangements, the Company's promise to the customer is to arrange for certain goods, typically finished products, to be provided and thus the Company is acting as an agent and revenue is recognized on a net basis at the fee amount earned.
The duration of contractual arrangements with our customers in the wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels is typically less than one year. Payment terms with customers are generally between 30 and 60 days. 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 forcustomer's payment.
For the good or service will be one year or less.
The amount ofthree months ended June 2019, revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, 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 allowances for trade terms, 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.

VF Corporation Q1 2019 Form 10-Q 12



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 above.
Contract 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 above.

Intangible assets increased during the three months ended June 20182019 due to the addition of intangible assets from the Icebreakerand Altra acquisitions, which was partially offset by the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Amortization expense for the three months ended June 20182019 was $7.9$6.3 million. Based on the carrying amounts of amortizable intangible assets noted above, estimated amortization expense for the next five years beginning in Fiscal 20192020 is $33.5$25.7 million, $32.8$24.3 million, $31.2$22.7 million, $29.2$21.3 million and $27.6$20.5 million, respectively.
Rock & Republic® Impairment Analysis
The Rock & Republic® brand has an exclusive wholesale distribution and licensing arrangement with Kohl's Corporation that covers all branded apparel, accessories and other merchandise. As of June 30, 2018, VF performed a quantitative impairment analysis of the

Rock & Republic® amortizing trademark intangible asset to determine if the carrying value was recoverable. We determined this testing was necessary based on the expectation that certain customer contract terms would be modified. Management used the income-based relief-from-royalty method and the contractual 4% royalty rate to calculate the pre-tax undiscounted future cash flows. Based on the analysis performed, management concluded that the trademark intangible asset does not require further testing as the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value of $49.0 million.
It is possible that VF's conclusion regarding the recoverability of the intangible asset could change in future periods as there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions used in the analysis as of June 30, 2018 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future.

NOTE 10 -— LEASES

VF 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. While the substantial majority of these leases are operating leases, certain distribution centers and office spaces are finance leases.
Leases for real estate typically have initial terms ranging from 3 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 8 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 asset and lease liability.
Most 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 (e.g., 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.
VF 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.
VF calculates lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as the present value of lease payments over the lease term at
commencement date. When readily determinable, the Company uses the implicit rate to determine the present value of lease payments, 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.
Operating 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 Statement of Income.
The 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 three months ended June 2019, the Company entered into a sale leaseback transaction for certain office real estate and related assets. The transaction qualified as a sale, and thus the Company recognized a gain of $11.3 million resulting from the transaction during the three months ended June 2019.
As of June 2019, the Company has signed certain distribution center leases that have not yet commenced but will create significant rights and obligations. The leases will commence in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021 and have lease terms of 15 years. Other leases signed that have not yet commenced are not individually significant. The Company does not have material subleases.

On April 1, 2018, VF adopted ASU 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost", which requires the Company to disaggregate the service cost component from other components of net periodic pension cost. Accordingly, in the Consolidated Statements of Income, VF has reported the service cost component withinof net periodic pension (income) cost in operating income and the other components of net periodic pension cost (which include interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service costs or credits and actuarial gains and losses) in the other income (expense), net line item.item in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

VF contributed $21.7$1.8 million to its defined benefit plans during the three months ended June 2018,2019, and intends to make approximately $20.1$22.6 million of contributions during the remainder of Fiscal 2019.2020.
In the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, VF approved a freeze of all future benefit accruals under the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension
plan and the supplemental defined benefit pension plan, effective December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $9.5 million pension curtailment loss in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended June 2018. Actuarial valuations were obtained as of June 30, 2018.
Additionally, VF reported $6.8 million in settlement charges in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended June 2018 related to the recognition of deferred actuarial losses resulting from lump sum payments of retirement benefits in the supplemental defined benefit pension plan. An actuarial valuation was obtained as of April 30, 2018 ("April 2018").
Actuarial assumptions used in the interim valuations were reviewed and revised as appropriate. The discount rates used to determine pension obligations were as follows:

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)


Comprehensive income consists of net income and specified components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”), which relates to changes in assets and liabilities that are not included in net income under GAAP but are instead deferred and accumulated within a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the balance sheet. VF’s comprehensive income is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The deferred components of OCI are reported, net of related income taxes, in accumulated OCI in stockholders’ equity, as follows:

NOTE 1213 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


Spin-Off of Jeans Business
In connection with the spin-off of the Jeans business on May 22, 2019, the Company adjusted its outstanding equity awards in accordance with the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement between the Company and Kontoor Brands. Adjustments to the underlying shares and terms of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and restricted stock were made to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards immediately before the separation. The adjustment of the underlying shares and exercise prices, as applicable, was determined using a ratio based on the relative values of the VF pre-distribution stock value and the VF post-distribution stock value as determined by the Company. The
outstanding awards continue to vest over their original vesting periods. The Company will recognize $13.0 million of total incremental compensation cost related to the adjustment of the VF equity awards, of which $12.0 million was recognized during the three months ended June 2019.
In connection with the spin-off, stock options to purchase 756,709 shares of VF Common Stock, 52,018 performance-based RSUs, 79,187 nonperformance-based RSUs and 112,763 restricted shares of VF Common Stock were converted into Kontoor Brands equity awards.
Incentive Equity Awards Granted
During the three months ended June 2018,2019, VF granted stock options to employees and nonemployee members of VF's Board of Directors to purchase 43,1101,452,414 shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $77.23$84.23 per share. The exercise price of each option granted was equal to the fair market value of VF Common Stock on the date of grant. Employee stock options vest in equal annual installments over three years. Stock options granted to nonemployee members of VF's Board of Directors vest upon grant and become exercisable one year from the date of grant.
The grant date fair value of each option award iswas calculated using a lattice option-pricing valuation model, which incorporatesincorporated a range of assumptions for inputs as follows:
  Three Months Ended June 20182019 
Expected volatility 24% to 29%27% 
Weighted average expected volatility 25% 
Expected term (in years) 6.16.2 to 7.57.6 
Weighted average dividend yield 2.7%2.5% 
Risk-free interest rate 2.1% to 3.0%2.4% 
Weighted average fair value at date of grant $16.0017.20 



Also during the three months ended June 2018,2019, VF granted 9,185268,449 performance-based restricted stock units (“RSU”)RSUs to employees that enable them 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 shares of VF Common Stock. The number of shares earned by participants, if any, is based on achievement of three-year financial targets set by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Shares arewill be issued to participants in the year following the conclusion of the three-year performance period. The fair market value of VF Common Stock at the date the units were granted was $77.23$84.23 per share.
The actual number of performance-based RSUs earned may also be adjusted upward or downward by 25% of the target award, based on how VF’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the three-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Consumer Discretionary Index. 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 $4.61$7.11 per share.
VF granted 10,780 nonperformance-based RSUs to nonemployee members of the Board of Directors during the three months ended
 
June 2019. These units vest upon grant and will be settled in shares of VF Common Stock one year from the date of grant. The fair market value of VF Common Stock at the date the units were granted was $84.23 per share.
VF granted 41,6667,500 nonperformance-based RSUs to certain key employees in international jurisdictions during the three months ended June 2018.2019. These units generally vest 50% over periods of up to three yearsa two-year period and 50% over a four-year period from the date of grant and each unit entitles the holder to one share of VF Common Stock. The weighted average fair market value of VF Common Stock at the datesdate the units were granted was $76.82$84.23 per share.
In addition, VF granted 10,676158,215 nonperformance-based RSUs to employees during the three months ended June 2018.2019. These awards generally vest 50% over a two-year period and 50% over a four-year period from the date of grant and entitle the holder to one share of VF Common Stock. The fair market value of VF Common Stock at the date the units were granted was $77.23$84.23 per share.
For all nonperformance-based RSUs granted during the three months ended June 2018, dividend equivalents accrue and are payable in additional shares of VF Common Stock at the vesting date. Dividend equivalents are subject to the same risk of forfeiture as the nonperformance-based RSUs.
VF granted 15,32340,205 restricted shares of VF Common Stock to certain members of management during the three months ended June 2018.2019. These shares vest over periods of up to four years from the date of grant. The weighted average fair market value of VF Common Stock at the datesdate the shares were granted was $79.66$84.23 per share.

NOTE 1314 — INCOME TAXES


On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act, which included a broad range of complex provisions impacting the taxation of multi-national companies. Generally, accounting for the impacts of newly enacted tax legislation is required to be completed in the period of enactment; however, in response to the complexities and ambiguity surrounding the Tax Act, the SEC released SAB 118 to provide companies with relief around the initial accounting for the Tax Act. Pursuant to SAB 118, the SEC has provided a one-year measurement period for companies to analyze and finalize accounting for the Tax Act. During the one-year measurement period, SAB 118 allows companies to recognize provisional amounts when reasonable estimates can be made for the impacts resulting from the Tax Act.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, VF recognized a provisional charge of approximately $465.5 million to reflect the impacts resulting from the Tax Act, primarily comprised of approximately $512.4 million related to the transition tax and approximately $89.5 million of tax benefits related to revaluing U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities using the new U.S. corporate tax rate of 21%. Other provisional charges of $42.6 million were primarily related to U.S. federal and state tax on foreign income and dividends and establishing a deferred tax liability for foreign withholding taxes as the Company is not asserting indefinite reinvestment on short-term liquid assets of certain foreign subsidiaries. All other foreign earnings, including basis differences of certain foreign subsidiaries, continue to be considered indefinitely reinvested. All amounts recorded in 2017 related to the Tax Act remain provisional.
Under GAAP, companies are allowed to make an accounting policy election to either treat taxes resulting from global intangible low-tax income ("GILTI") as a current-period expense when they are incurred or factor such amounts into the measurement of deferred taxes. The Company has not completed its analysis related to this accounting policy election and has therefore considered the taxes resulting from GILTI as a current-period expense for the three-month period ended June 2018. See Note 2 for additional discussion on GILTI policy election.
The Tax Act has significant complexity and our final tax liability may materially differ from provisional estimates due to additional guidance and regulations that may be issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and state and local tax authorities, and for VF's finalization of the relevant calculations required by the new tax legislation. VF will finalize accounting for the Tax Act during the one-year measurement period, and any adjustments to the provisional amounts will be included in income tax expense or benefit in the appropriate periods, and disclosed if material, in accordance with guidance provided by SAB 118.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 20182019 was 14.2%21.5% compared to 21.2%10.8% in the 20172018 period. The three months ended June 2019 included a discrete tax benefit of $2.2 million related to stock compensation and a discrete tax expense of $2.2 million related to unrecognized tax benefits and interest. The 2018 period included a net discrete tax benefit of $6.6$6.4 million, which included a $6.4$5.7 million tax benefit related to stock compensation, $1.1$0.6 million of net tax expense related to unrecognized tax benefits and interest, a $2.9 million net tax benefit related to adjustments to provisional amounts recorded in 2017 under the Tax Act, and $1.6 million of tax expense related to adjustments to previously recognized state income tax credits. The $6.6$6.4 million net discrete tax benefit in the three months ended June 2018 period reduced the effective income tax rate by 3.5%. The 2017 period included a net discrete tax expense of $1.1 million, which included a $2.0 million tax benefit related to stock compensation, $1.2
million of net tax expense related to unrecognized tax benefits and interest, and $1.9 million of discrete tax expense related to the effects of tax rate changes. The $1.1 million net discrete tax expense in the 2017 period increased the effective income tax rate by 0.9%9.3%. Without discrete items, the effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 2018 decreased2019 increased by 2.6%1.4% compared with the 20172018 period primarily due to a lower U.S. corporatepercentage of income in lower tax rate that was effective beginning January 1, 2018.jurisdictions.
VF files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as separate and combined income tax returns in numerous state and international jurisdictions. In the U.S., the IRSInternal Revenue Service ("IRS") examinations for tax years through 2014 have been effectively settled. The examination of Timberland’s 2011 tax return is ongoing. The IRS has proposed material adjustments to Timberland’s 2011 tax return that would significantly impact tax expense and assessment of interest charges. The Company has formally disagreed with the proposed adjustments. During 2015, VF filed a petition to the U.S. Tax Court to begin the process of resolving this matter, but it has not yet reached a resolution.
In 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.
VF was granted a ruling which lowered the effective income tax rate on taxable earnings for years 2010 through 2014 under Belgium’s excess profit tax regime. In February 2015, the European Union Commission (“EU”) opened a state aid investigation into Belgium’s rulings. On January 11, 2016, the EU announced its decision that these rulings were illegal and ordered that tax benefits granted under these rulings should be collected from the affected companies, including VF.
On March 22, 2016, the Belgium government filed an appeal seeking annulment of the EU decision. Additionally, on June 21, 2016, VF Europe BVBA filed its own application for annulment of the EU decision. Both of the listed requests for annulment remain open and unresolved.
On December 22, 2016, Belgium adopted a law which entitled the Belgium tax authorities to issue tax assessments, and demand timely payments from companies which benefited from the excess profits regime. On January 10, 2017, VF Europe BVBA received an assessment for €31.9 million tax and interest related to excess profits benefits received in prior years. VF Europe BVBA remitted €31.9 million ($33.9 million) on January 13, 2017, which was recorded as an income tax receivable based on the expected success of the aforementioned requests for annulment. An additional assessment of €3.1 million ($3.8 million) was received and paid in January 2018. On February 14, 2019 the General Court annulled the EU decision and on April 26, 2019 the EU appealed the General Court’s annulment. Both listed requests for annulment remain open and unresolved. If this matter is adversely resolved, these amounts will not be collected by VF.
During the three months ended June 2018,2019, the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest increased by $2.5$6.3 million to $171.5$180.2 million. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits and interest may decrease during the next 12 months by approximately $13.0$24.9 million related to the completion of examinations and other settlements with tax authorities and the expiration of statutes of limitations, of which $12.0$23.8 million would reduce income tax expense.
On May 19, 2019, Switzerland voted to approve the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing ("Swiss Tax Act"). Due to various factors, the Swiss Tax Act was not considered enacted for GAAP purposes during the three months ended June 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the Swiss Tax Act and the associated tax effects will be reflected in the period the Swiss Tax Act is considered enacted. We believe the Swiss Tax Act will have a material impact to the Company's tax expense.

In the tables below, the Company has recast historical financial information to reflect the new reportable segments. The recast historical information has no impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated financial statements.
The resultsbusinesses, as well as sales of Williamson-Dickie have been included in the Work segment since the October 2, 2017 acquisition date. The results of Kipling North America, which were previously included in the former Sportswear segment, have been included in the Active segment for all periods presented.

Altra have been included in the Outdoor segment since their acquisition dates of April 3, 2018 and June 1, 2018, respectively.
The primary financial measures used by management to evaluate the financial results of VF's reportable segments are segment revenues and segment profit. Segment profit comprises the operating income and other income (expense), net line items of each segment.
Accounting policies used for internal management reporting at the individual segments are consistent with those in Note A of the 2017

25 VF Corporation Q1 2019 Form 10-Q


Form 10-K, except as stated below. Corporate costs (other than common costs allocated to the segments), 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 based 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) 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 component of pension costs is allocated to the segments, while the remaining pension cost components are reported in corporate and other expenses.non-VF products.

NOTE 16 –17 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial 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:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable
 
data 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.
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.

There were no transfers among the levels within the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended June 20182019 or the year ended March 20182019.


VF’s cash equivalents include money market funds and short-term time deposits 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. Investment securities are held in VF’s deferred compensation plans as an economic hedge of the related deferred compensation liabilities.
These investments are classified as trading securities and primarily include mutual funds (Level 1) that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets and a separately managed fixed-

incomefixed-income fund (Level 2) with underlying investments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or quoted prices in inactive markets for identical assets. 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.


VF Corporation Q1 FY20 Form 10-Q 26



All other 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 June 20182019 and March 2018,2019, their carrying values approximated their fair values.value. Additionally,
at June 20182019 and March 2018,2019, the carrying values of VF’s long-term debt, including the current portion, were $2,162.8$2,131.9 million and $2,218.8$2,121.1 million, respectively, compared with fair values of $2,325.2$2,392.5 million and $2,403.9$2,318.6 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.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
Certain non-financial assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible 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 that 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 estimated fair value, using market-based assumptions.
See Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates within Management's Discussion and Analysis for additional discussion regarding non-recurring fair value measurements during the three months ended June 2018.
NOTE 17 –18 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES


Summary of Derivative Financial Instruments


All of VF’s outstanding derivative financial instruments are foreign 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. The notional amounts of all outstanding derivative
contracts were $3.1 billion at June 2019, $2.8 billion at March 2019 and $2.9 billion at both June 2018, and March 2018 and
$2.4 billionatJune 2017, consisting primarily of contracts hedging exposures to the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Swiss franc, Swedish krona, South Korean won, Japanese yen,New Zealand dollar, Polish zloty and New Zealand dollar.Japanese yen. Derivative contracts have maturities up to 20 months.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

VF uses derivative contracts to manage foreign currency exchange risk on third-party accounts receivable and payable, as well as intercompany borrowings. 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.
In addition, VF entered into foreignForeign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge the purchase price of the Icebreaker acquisition. These contracts were not designated as hedges and were recorded atas of June 2019 also include contracts still owned by VF that are related to the former Jeans business. In connection with the spin-off, VF transferred the value of the unrecognized gain on these contracts to Kontoor Brands.

Other Derivative Information
There were no significant amounts recognized in earnings for the ineffective portion of any hedging relationships during the three-month periods ended June 2018 and June 2017.
At June 2018,2019, accumulated OCI included $14.3$66.5 million of pre-tax net deferred lossesgains 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.
VF entered into interest rate swap derivative contracts in 2011 and 2003 to hedge the interest rate risk for issuance of long-term debt due in 2021 and 2033, respectively. In each case, the contracts were terminated concurrent with the issuance of the debt, and the realized gain or loss was deferred in accumulated OCI. The remaining pre-tax net deferred loss in accumulated OCI was $15.5$10.4 million at June 2018,2019, which will be reclassified into interest

VF reclassified $1.3 million and $1.2 million of net deferred losses from accumulated OCI into interest expense in each offor the three-month periods ended June 20182019 and June 2017.2018, respectively. VF expects to reclassify $5.1$5.3 million to interest expense during the next 12 months.
Net Investment Hedge
The Company has designated its €850.0 million of euro-denominated fixed-rate notes as a net investment hedge of VF’s investment in certain foreign operations. Because this debt qualified as a nonderivative hedging instrument, foreign currency
transaction gains or losses of the debt are deferred in the foreign currency translation and other component of accumulated OCI as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on the hedged investments. During the three-month periods ended June 20182019 and June 2017,2018, the Company recognized an after-tax loss of $8.7 million and an after-tax gain of $41.0 million, and an after-tax loss of $37.3 million, respectively, in OCI related to the net investment hedge.respectively. Any amounts deferred in accumulated OCI will remain until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated. The Company recorded no ineffectiveness from its net investment hedge during the three-month periods ended June 2018 and June 2017.

NOTE 19 –20 — CONTINGENCIES

The Company petitioned the U.S. Tax Court to resolve an IRS dispute regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with the 2011 Timberland acquisition. The Company remains confident in our timing and treatment of the income inclusion, and therefore this matter is not reflected in our financial statements. We are vigorously defending our position, and do not expect the resolution to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. While the IRS argues immediate income inclusion, the Company's position is to include the income over a period of years. As the matter relates to 2011, nearly half of the timing at dispute has passed with the Company including the income, and paying the related tax, on our income
tax returns. The Company notes that should the IRS prevail in this timing matter, the net interest expense would be up to $137 million. Further, this timing matter is impacted by the Tax Act that reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. If the IRS is successful, this rate differential would increase tax expense by approximately $136 million.
The Company is currently involved in other legal proceedings that are ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the business. The resolution of any particular proceeding is not currently expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


VF Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, collectively known as “VF” or the “Company”) changed touses a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. VF previously used a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 of each year. The Company's current fiscal year will runruns from April 1, 2018March 31, 2019 through March 30, 201928, 2020 ("Fiscal 2019"2020"). This document reflects the Company'sAccordingly, this Form 10-Q presents our first quarter of Fiscal 2019.2020. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended June 2018, March 20182019 and June 20172018 relate to the fiscal periods ended on June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. References to March 31, 2018 and July 1, 2017, respectively.2019 relate to information as of March 30, 2019.
All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis and all percentages shown in the tables below and the following discussion have been calculated using unrounded numbers. All references to foreign currency amounts below reflect the changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the same period in 20172018 and their impact on translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. All references to foreign currency amounts also reflect the impact of foreign currency-denominated transactions in countries with highly inflationary economies. VF’s most significant foreign currency exposure relates to business conducted in euro-based countries. Additionally, VF conducts business in other developed and emerging markets around the world with exposure to foreign currencies other than the euro.euro, such as Argentina, which is a highly inflationary economy.
In light of the recently completed portfolio management actions and organizational realignments, the Company has realigned its internal reporting structure to reflect the organizational changes to better support and assess the operations of the business. The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based on a global brand view with the new reportable segments: Outdoor, Active, Work and Jeans. In the tables below,

The decreaseincrease in the current ratio at June 2019 compared to both March 2019 and June 2018 was primarily due to a net decrease in current liabilities driven by lower short-term borrowings and a net increase in current assets driven by higher inventory balances, as discussed in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets" section above and higher cash balances due to cash received from Kontoor Brands, as discussed in the "Cash Provided (Used) by Financing Activities" section below. The increase in the current ratio at June 2019 compared to June 20172018 was primarily drivenalso due to a net increase in accounts receivable balances, as discussed in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets" section above. Both comparisons are impacted by the increaserecording of the current portion of operating lease liabilities in short-term borrowings.accrued liabilities beginning in the three months ended June 2019 in connection with the adoption of ASC 842.
For the ratio of debt to total capital, debt is defined as short-term and long-term borrowings, and totalin addition to operating lease liabilities, beginning in the June 2019 period. Total capital is defined as debt plus stockholders’ equity. The decreaseincrease in the debt to total capital ratio at June 20182019 compared to March 20182019 was dueattributed to the increase in operating lease liabilities, partially offset by the
decrease in short-term borrowings, as discussed in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets" section above. The increasedecrease in the debt to total capital ratio at June 20182019 compared to June 20172018 was due to the increase in short-term borrowings, partially offsetdriven by the decrease in the current
portion of long-term debt,short-term borrowings, as discussed in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets" section above and the increase in stockholders' equity which was driven by net income and stock-based compensation activity, partially offset by payments of dividends and purchases of treasury stock. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in operating lease liabilities, as discussed in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets" section above. Excluding the operating lease liabilities, the debt to total capital ratio was 34.6% as of June 2019.
VF’s primary source of liquidity is the strong annual cash flow from operating activities. Cash from operations is typically lower in the first half of the calendar year as inventory builds to support peak sales periods in the second half of the calendar year. Cash provided by operating activities in the second half of the calendar year is substantially higher as inventories are sold and accounts receivable are collected. Additionally, direct-to-consumer sales are highest in the fourth quarter of the calendar year.

The cash flows related to discontinued operations have not been segregated, and are included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Accordingly, the information in the table above and cash flow discussion below include the results of continuing and discontinued operations.


Cash (Used) Provided by Operating Activities
Cash flow related to operating activities is dependent on net income, adjustments to net income and changes in working capital. The increasedecrease in cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended June 20182019 compared to June 20172018 is primarily due to the timing of VF's annual bonus payouts in the three months ended June 2019 compared to the three months ended March 2018 for the prior fiscal year, partially offset by higher net income and an increase in net cash generated by working capital driven by the timing of payments and cash collections.three months ended June 2019.
Cash Provided (Used) Provided by Investing Activities
The increase in cash usedprovided by investing activities in the three months ended June 20182019 related primarily to $321.4 million of net cash paid for acquisitions. Investing activities also includedacquisitions in the three months ended June 2018 and the sale of office real estate and related assets in connection with the relocation of VF's global headquarters and certain brands to Denver, Colorado in the three months ended June 2019, partially offset by $288.3 million of proceeds from the sale of businesses, net of cash sold in the Nautica® brand business, which is $80.1 million higher than the proceeds received from the sale of the Licensed Sports Group business during the same period in 2017.three months ended June 2018.

Duringmarket during the three months ended June 2017, VF purchased 14.0 million shares2019 or the three months ended June 2018 under the share repurchase program authorized by VF's Board of its Common Stock in open market transactions at a total cost of $762.0 million (average price per share of $54.46).Directors.
As of the end of June 2018,2019, the Company had $4.0$3.8 billion remaining for future repurchases under its share repurchase program. VF will continue to evaluate its use of capital, giving first priority to business acquisitions and then to direct shareholder return in the form of dividends and share repurchases.
VF relies on continued strong cash generation to finance its ongoing operations. In addition, VF has significant liquidity from its available cash balances and credit facilities. VF maintains a $2.25 billion senior unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Global Credit Facility”). The that expires December 2023. VF may request an unlimited number of one year extensions so long as each extension does not cause the remaining life of the Global Credit Facility expires in April 2020 and VF may request two extensions of one year each,to exceed five years, subject to stated terms and conditions. The Global Credit Facility may be used to borrow funds in both U.S. dollar and certain non-U.S. dollar currencies, and has a $50.0 million letter of credit sublimit. In addition, the Global Credit Facility supports VF’s U.S.
commercial paper program for short-term, seasonal working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, including share repurchases and acquisitions. Outstanding short-term balances may vary from period to period depending on the level of corporate requirements.
VF has a commercial paper program that allows for borrowings of up to $2.25 billion to the extent that it has borrowing capacity under

Commercial paper borrowings and standby letters of credit issued as of June 20182019 were $1.3 billion$65.0 million and $15.4$15.0 million, respectively, leaving approximately $934.6 million$2.2 billion available for borrowing against the Global Credit Facility at June 2018.2019.
VF has $196.5$165.9 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.

VF’s favorable credit agency ratings allow for access to additional liquidity at competitive rates. At the end of June 2018,2019, VF’s long-term debt ratings were ‘A’ by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and ‘A3’ by Moody’s Investors Service, and commercial paper ratings by those rating agencies were ‘A-1’ and ‘Prime-2’, respectively.
None of VF’s 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 2021, 2023 and 2037 notes were rated below investment grade by recognized rating agencies, VF would be obligated to repurchase the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the 2017Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K provided a table summarizing VF’s contractual obligations and
commercial commitments at the end of 2017Fiscal 2019 that would require the use of funds. As of June 2018,2019, there have been no material changes in the amounts disclosed in the 2017Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K, except as noted below:
 
Inventory purchaseContractual obligations increased by approximately $665.0 millionand commercial commitments at the end of June 2018 dueFiscal 2019 included approximately $349 million of inventory obligations related to the seasonality of VF's businesses.
In addition, the Company entered into a 10-year power purchase agreement to procure electricity generated from renewable energy sources to meet a portion of the electricity needs for certain facilities in Mexico.  The contract has a total purchase commitment of $44.4 million over the contract term and requires delivery of electricity to commence no later than March 2020.Jeans business, which is now classified as discontinued operations.
Management believes that VF’s cash balances and funds provided by operating activities, as well as its Global Credit Facility, additional borrowing capacity and access to capital markets, taken as a whole, provide (i) adequate liquidity to meet all of its current and long-term obligations when due, (ii) adequate liquidity to fund capital expenditures and to maintain the planned dividend payout rate, and (iii) flexibility to meet investment opportunities, including acquisitions, that may arise.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2 to VF’s consolidated financial statements for information on recently issued and adopted accounting standards, including reclassifications made to 2017 amounts.standards.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Management has chosen accounting policies it considers to be appropriate to accurately and fairly report VF’s operating results and financial position in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our critical accounting policies are applied in a consistent manner. Significant accounting policies are summarized in Note A1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2017Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K.
The application of these accounting policies requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, contingent assets and liabilities, and related disclosures. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management
evaluates these estimates and assumptions, and may retain outside consultants to assist in the evaluation. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations in the period in which the actual amounts become known.
The accounting policies that involve the most significant estimates, assumptions and management judgments used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the 2017Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K.
Except as it relates to VF's adoption of ASC 842 as disclosed in Note 2 and Note 310 to VF's consolidated financial statements,
pertaining to adoption of new accounting pronouncements, there have been no material changes in theseVF's accounting policies.
The following discussion provides additional detail of critical accounting estimates during the three months ended June 2018.
Timberland Reporting Unit Impairment Analysis
The historical Timberland reporting unit included the Timberland PRO® brand and was included in the former Outdoor & Action Sports segment. In connection with the segment reporting changes in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, Timberland PRO was identified as a new reporting unit. Accordingly, VF was required to evaluate whether there was any impairment at the historical Timberland reporting unit, and allocate to Timberland PRO a portion of the historical Timberland reporting unit goodwill of $844.6 million at the April 1, 2018 assessment date.
Management performed a quantitative impairment analysis and concluded that the estimated fair value of the historical Timberland reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by a substantial amount, and thus the goodwill was not impaired.
Management allocated $51.5 million of the historical Timberland reporting unit goodwill balance to Timberland PRO, based on estimated relative fair values. The goodwill for the Timberland PRO reporting unit is included in the Work reportable segment. The

39 VF Corporation Q1 2019 Form 10-Q


remaining goodwill from the historical Timberland reporting unit is included in the Outdoor reportable segment.
The fair values of the reporting units were estimated using valuation techniques described in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the 2017 Form 10-K.
Management considered whether there were any triggering events that would require impairment testing for the new reporting units and determined that there were none.
Jeanswear North America Reporting Unit Impairment Analysis
The historical Jeanswear North America reporting unit included the Wrangler®RIGGS brand and was included in the former Jeanswear segment. In connection with the segment reporting changes in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, Wrangler RIGGS was identified as a new reporting unit. Accordingly, VF was required evaluate whether there was any impairment at the historical Jeanswear North America reporting unit, and allocate to Wrangler RIGGS a portion of the historical Jeanswear North America reporting unit goodwill of $142.1 million at the April 1, 2018 assessment date.
Management performed a quantitative impairment analysis and concluded that the estimated fair value of the historical Jeanswear North America reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by a substantial amount, and thus the goodwill was not impaired.
Management allocated $7.4 million of the historical Jeanswear North America reporting unit goodwill balance to Wrangler RIGGS, based on estimated relative fair values. The goodwill for the Wrangler RIGGS reporting unit is included in the Work reportable segment. The remaining goodwill from the historical Jeanswear North America reporting unit is included in the Jeans reportable segment.
The fair values of the reporting units were estimated using valuation techniques described in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the 2017 Form 10-K.
Management considered whether there were any triggering events that would require impairment testing for the new reporting units and determined that there were none.
Reef® Impairment Analysis
In May 2018, management commenced a strategic assessment of the Reef® brand, which was considered a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of the goodwill and trademark intangible asset for the Reef® reporting unit. Based on the analyses, management concluded that the goodwill and trademark were not impaired. For goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 16%. The estimated fair value of the trademark exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount.
The Reef® brand, acquired in 2005, sells surf-inspired products including sandals, shoes, swimwear, casual apparel and accessories for men, women and children. Products are sold globally through specialty shops, sporting goods chains, department stores, independent distributors and online. As part of the 2009 annual impairment analyses, VF recorded impairment charges of $31.1 million and $5.6 million related to the goodwill and trademark, respectively. The remaining carrying values of the
goodwill and trademark at the May 26, 2018 testing date were $48.3 million and $74.4 million, respectively. The Reef® brand is included in the Active reportable segment.
The fair values of the Reef® reporting unit and trademark intangible asset were estimated using valuation techniques consistent with those discussed in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the 2017 Form 10-K.
Management’s revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Reef® reporting unit and intangible asset valuations considered historical Reef® performance, strategic initiatives for the Reef® reporting unit and industry trends. Assumptions used in the valuations were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.
Key assumptions developed by VF management and used in the quantitative analyses of the Reef® reporting unit and trademark include:
Modest growth in the wholesale channel driven by new product offerings and door expansion with existing and new customers
Modest growth in the e-commerce business
Gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses trending consistent with historical Reef® performance

Market-based discount rates
Management made its estimates based on information available as of the date of our assessment, using assumptions we believe market participants would use in performing an independent valuation of the business. It is possible that VF’s conclusions regarding impairment of the Reef® reporting unit goodwill or trademark intangible asset could change in future periods. There can be no assurance the estimates and assumptions used in our goodwill and intangible asset impairment testing in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. For example, variations in our assumptions related to discount rates, comparable company market approach inputs, business performance and execution of planned growth strategies could impact future conclusions. Accordingly, actual results could be negatively impacted and the goodwill may require additional impairment testing in future periods. Future impairment tests could result in a reduction of the 16% excess of fair value over reporting unit carrying value, and possibly an impairment charge. A future impairment charge for goodwill or intangible assets could have a material effect on VF’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Management performed sensitivity analyses on the impairment model and concluded that the goodwill was not impaired, even with negative changes made to key assumptions. For goodwill, a 10% decrease in projected cash flows did not cause the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to decline below its carrying value. Separately, a 200 basis point increase in the discount rate did not cause the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to decline below its carrying value.
