Financial Presentation Disclosure

All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis. This release refers to "reported" (R$) and "constant dollar" (C$) or "constant currency" amounts, terms that are described under the heading below "Constant Currency - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency." Unless otherwise noted, "reported" and "constant dollar" or "constant currency" amounts are the same, and amounts will be as "reported" unless otherwise specified. This release also refers to "continuing" and "discontinued" operations amounts, which are concepts described under the heading "Discontinued Operations - Supreme." Unless otherwise noted, results presented are based on continuing operations. This release also refers to results "excluding Dickies^®" and "Adjusted excluding Dickies", which are described under the heading "Dickies Divestiture". This release also refers to "adjusted" amounts, a term that is described under the heading "Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Reinvent, Transaction and Deal Related Activities, Pension Settlement Charge and Non-cash Impairment Charge". Unless otherwise noted, "reported" and "adjusted" amounts are the same. VF operates and reports using a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. This release refers to VF's third quarter of Fiscal 2026 as Q3'26, and similarly Q3'25 denotes VF's third quarter of Fiscal 2025, etc. VF defines "free cash flow" as cash flow from continuing operations less capital expenditures and software purchases and defines "net debt" as long-term debt, the current portion of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and operating lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents per VF's consolidated balance sheet.

Change in Reportable Segments

VF realigned its reportable segments in the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. VF's updated reportable segments are Outdoor and Active. We have included an "All Other" category for the remaining operating segments that do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment. VF's financial results in this release reflect the new segments for all periods presented.

Dickies Divestiture

On September 15, 2025, VF entered into a definitive agreement with Bluestar Alliance LLC to sell the Dickies^® brand business ("Dickies") and on November 12, 2025, VF completed the sale of Dickies. "Reported" amounts present VF's third quarter Fiscal 2026 results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") and include Dickies results in continuing operations through the date of sale, as the Dickies sale did not qualify for discontinued operations presentation under GAAP. References to results "excluding Dickies^®" and "Adjusted excluding Dickies" exclude the results of Dickies for all periods presented. VF believes this non-GAAP presentation provides investors with useful information regarding VF's current business trends and performance of VF's operations, post the closing of the sale of Dickies.

Discontinued Operations - Supreme

On July 16, 2024, VF entered into a definitive Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement with EssilorLuxottica S.A. to sell the Supreme^® brand business ("Supreme"). On October 1, 2024, VF completed the sale of Supreme. 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 presented, through the date of sale.

Constant Currency - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency

This release refers to "reported" amounts in accordance with GAAP, which include translation and transactional impacts from foreign currency exchange rates. This release also refers to both "constant dollar" and "constant currency" amounts, which exclude the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. Reconciliations of GAAP measures to constant currency amounts are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release, which identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides management's view of why this information is useful to investors.

Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Reinvent, Transaction and Deal Related Activities, Pension Settlement Charge and Non-cash Impairment Charge

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude costs related to Reinvent, VF's transformation program. Costs, including restructuring charges and project-related costs, were approximately $5 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026 and $51 million in the first nine months of Fiscal 2026.

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude transaction and deal related activities associated with the divestiture of Dickies, including expenses and an estimated pre-tax gain on sale. Total transaction and deal related activities, included expenses of approximately $8 million in the third quarter and $10 million in the first nine months of Fiscal 2026 and an estimated pre-tax gain on sale of approximately $139 million in the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2026.

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude a non-cash pension settlement charge of approximately $34 million in the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2026. The pension settlement charge resulted from lump-sum payments of retirement benefits related to the termination of the U.S. qualified plan, which is expected to be completed by the end of Fiscal 2026.

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude a non-cash impairment charge related to the Napapijri reporting unit goodwill of approximately $31 million in the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2026.

Combined, the above items positively impacted earnings per share by $0.20 during the third quarter of Fiscal 2026 and $0.10 during the first nine months of Fiscal 2026. 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 does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking measures where the company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors and is unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred and are out of the company's control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The financial information above has been presented on a GAAP basis, on an adjusted basis, which excludes the impact of Reinvent, an impairment and pension settlement charge and transaction and deal related activities, and on an adjusted basis excluding Dickies, which also excludes the operating results of Dickies on an adjusted basis. These adjusted presentations provides non-GAAP measures and are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. 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. These measures should be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations only in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

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.
