Liquidity and Capital Resources
We consider the following to be measures of our liquidity and capital resources:
| (Dollars in millions) | June 2026 | March 2026 | June 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Working capital | $1,254.1 | $1,828.3 | $935.9 | ||||
| Current ratio | 1.4 to 1 | 1.8 to 1 | 1.3 to 1 | ||||
| Net debt to total capital | 70.8% | 69.2% | 80.5% |
The decrease in working capital and the current ratio at June 2026 compared to March 2026 was primarily due to a net increase in current liabilities driven by an increase in the current portion of long-term debt and accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities, as discussed in the “Consolidated Balance Sheets” section above. The decrease was partially offset by a net increase in current assets driven by higher inventory balances, partially offset by lower accounts receivable, as discussed in the “Consolidated Balance Sheets” section above, and lower cash balances. The increase in working capital and the current ratio at June 2026 compared to June 2025 was primarily due to a net decrease in current liabilities, driven by lower short-term borrowings and decreased accrued liabilities, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable, as discussed in the “Consolidated Balance Sheets” section above. The increase was partially offset by a net decrease in current assets, primarily driven by lower inventory balances, as discussed in the “Consolidated Balance Sheets” section above.
For the ratio of net debt to total capital, net debt is defined as short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, in addition to operating lease liabilities, net of
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is defined as net debt plus stockholders’ equity. The increase in the net debt to total capital ratio at June 2026 compared to March 2026 was primarily driven by an increase in net debt due to lower cash and cash equivalents at June 2026. The increase in the net debt to total capital ratio at June 2026 compared to March 2026 was also due to a decrease in stockholders’ equity, primarily driven by net loss in the period. The decrease in the net debt to total capital ratio at June 2026 compared to June 2025 was primarily driven by a decrease in net debt due to the early redemption of €500.0 million ($582.2 million) of long-term notes in February 2026 and lower short-term borrowings, as discussed in the “Consolidated Balance Sheets” section above. The decrease in the net debt to total capital ratio at June 2026 compared to June 2025 was also due to an increase in stockholders’ equity, primarily driven by net income in the 12-month period.
VF’s primary source of liquidity is its expected 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
31 VF Corporation Q1 FY27 Form 10-Q
Table of Contents
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. VF’s additional sources of liquidity include available
borrowing capacity against its $1.5 billion secured asset based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”), available cash balances and international lines of credit.
In summary, our cash flows were as follows:
| Three Months Ended June | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | 2026 | 2025 | ||||||
| Cash used by operating activities | $ | (62,496) | $ | (145,460) | ||||
| Cash used by investing activities | (44,300) | (49,013) | ||||||
| Cash provided (used) by financing activities | (40,925) | 338,955 |
Cash Used by Operating Activities
Cash flows related to operating activities are dependent on net loss, adjustments to net loss and changes in working capital. The decrease in cash used by operating activities in the three months ended June 2026 compared to June 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in net loss, tariff refunds received and a decrease in cash used by working capital.
Cash Used by Investing Activities
The decrease in cash used by investing activities in the three months ended June 2026 was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of a distribution center of $22.5 million in the three months ended June 2026, partially offset by final working capital adjustments paid for the sale of Dickies of $11.9 million in the three months ended June 2026 and an increase in capital expenditures of $11.3 million in the three months ended June 2026 compared to the 2025 period.
Cash Provided (Used) by Financing Activities
The increase in cash used by financing activities during the three months ended June 2026 was primarily due to a $380.9 million net decrease in short-term borrowings in the three months ended June 2026 as compared to the prior year.
Share Repurchases
VF did not purchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market during the three months ended June 2026 or the three months ended June 2025 under the share repurchase program authorized by VF’s Board of Directors.
As of the end of June 2026, VF had $2.5 billion remaining for future repurchases under its share repurchase authorization. VF’s capital deployment priorities in the near-to-medium term will be focused on reducing leverage and reinvesting a portion of cost savings to drive profitable and sustainable growth.
ABL Credit Facility and Short-term Borrowings
VF relies on its ability to generate cash flows to finance its ongoing operations. In addition, VF has significant liquidity from its available cash balances and credit facilities. VF maintains a credit agreement that provides the Company with a $1.5 billion senior secured asset based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”), subject to a borrowing base that is composed of eligible credit card receivables, eligible wholesale receivables, eligible inventory and eligible in-transit inventory. The ABL Credit Facility includes up to a $100.0 million letter of credit subfacility and a $100.0 million swing-line subfacility.
Multicurrency borrowings are available under the credit agreement, including borrowings in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros, sterling, and Swiss francs (subject to certain limitations as set forth in the credit agreement).
The Agent, as defined in the credit agreement, has discretion to establish various reserves against the borrowing base, as outlined in the credit agreement, including a requirement for a Debt Maturity Reserve to be established beginning 90-days prior to the maturity of any Material Indebtedness, as defined in the credit agreement.
The ABL Credit Facility has a stated maturity date of August 26, 2030. Outstanding short-term balances may vary from period to period depending on the level of corporate requirements and operational needs.
The ABL Credit Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, which include, among other things, required financial reporting, limitations on indebtedness and granting certain liens, restrictions on fundamental changes to the business, restrictions on disposal of assets, restrictions on changes to the nature of the business, restrictions on prepayment of certain indebtedness, restricted payment limitations, along with other restrictions and limitations similar to those typical for credit facilities of this type. Certain actions restricted by the negative covenants are permitted so long as Payment Conditions, as defined in the credit agreement, are satisfied.
The ABL Credit Facility includes a financial covenant that requires VF to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the 12-month period ending on the last day of any applicable fiscal quarter. However, the financial covenant only applies if at any time Global Excess Availability (as defined in the credit agreement) is less than the greater of (i) 10.0% of the Global Line Cap (as defined in the credit agreement), and (ii) $100.0 million, and ceases to apply when Global Excess Availability has equaled or exceeded the greater of (i) 10.0% of the Global Line Cap, and (ii) $100.0 million for 30 consecutive days. As of June 2026, specified availability under the ABL Credit Facility exceeded the required threshold and, as a result, the financial covenant was not applicable.
The Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants as of June 2026.
As of June 2026, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. Reserves for outstanding, unfunded letters of credit under the ABL Credit Facility were $0.3 million as of June 2026. Availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $997.9 million as of June 2026, after giving effect to

the borrowing base, outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit.
VF has $82.1 million of international lines of credit with various banks, which are uncommitted and may be terminated at any time by either VF or the banks. Total outstanding balances under these arrangements were $9.7 million at June 2026.
Additionally, VF had $670.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at June 2026.
Supply Chain Financing Program
VF facilitates a voluntary supply chain finance (“SCF”) program that enables a significant portion of our inventory suppliers to leverage VF’s credit rating to receive payment from participating financial institutions prior to the payment date specified in the terms between VF and the supplier. At June 2026, March 2026 and June 2025, the accounts payable line item in VF’s Consolidated Balance Sheets included total outstanding obligations of $960.7 million, $466.0 million and $887.1 million, respectively, due to suppliers that are eligible to participate in the SCF program.
Rating Agencies
At the end of June 2026, VF’s long-term debt ratings were ‘BB’ by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Global Ratings and ‘Ba2’ by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”). VF’s credit rating outlook was ‘stable’ by S&P and ‘negative’ by Moody’s at the end of June 2026. Further downgrades to VF’s ratings would negatively impact borrowing costs.
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 notes were rated below investment grade by recognized rating agencies, then VF would be obligated to repurchase the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if required by the respective holders of the notes. The change of control provision applies to all notes, except for the notes due in 2033.
Dividends
The Company paid cash dividends of $0.09 per share during the three months ended June 2026, and the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.09 per share that is payable in the second quarter of Fiscal 2027. Subject to approval by its Board of Directors, VF intends to continue to pay quarterly dividends.
Contractual Obligations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K provided a table summarizing VF’s material contractual obligations and commercial commitments at the end of Fiscal 2026 that would require the use of funds. As of June 2026, there have been no material changes in the amounts of unrecorded commitments disclosed in the Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K, except as noted below:
•Inventory purchase obligations decreased by approximately $512.0 million at the end of June 2026 primarily due to timing of inventory shipments.
Management believes that VF has sufficient liquidity and flexibility to operate its business and meet its curren

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
VF Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, collectively known as “VF” or the “Company”) is a portfolio of leading outdoor and active brands, including The North Face®, Vans® and Timberland®. VF is committed to providing consumers with innovative products that are rooted in performance and elevated design, while delivering sustainable and long-term value for its employees, communities, and shareholders.
VF is diversified across brands, product categories, channels of distribution, geographies and consumer demographics. We own a broad portfolio of brands in the apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories categories. Our products are marketed to consumers through our wholesale channel, primarily in specialty stores, national chains, mass merchants, department stores,
independently-operated partnership stores and with strategic digital partners. Our products are also marketed to consumers through our own direct-to-consumer operations, which include VF-operated stores, concession retail stores, brand e-commerce sites and other digital platforms.
VF is organized by groupings of brands and businesses represented by its reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. The two reportable segments are Outdoor and Active. All other brands that have not been aggregated within the reportable segments described above, which do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment, have been grouped within an “All Other” category.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
VF operates and reports using a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. All references to the years ended March 2026 (“Fiscal 2026”), March 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”) and March 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”) relate to the 52-week fiscal years ended March 28, 2026, March 29, 2025, and March 30, 2024, respectively.
The following discussion and analysis focuses on our financial results for the years ended March 2026 and 2025 and year-to-year comparisons between these years. A discussion of our results of operations for the year ended March 2025 compared to the year ended March 2024 is included in Part II, Item 7. “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 29, 2025, filed with the SEC on May 22, 2025, and is incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K.
All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis. All percentages shown in the tables below and the discussion that follows have been calculated using unrounded numbers.
References to the year ended March 2026 foreign currency amounts and impacts below reflect the changes in foreign
exchange rates from the year ended March 2025 when translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. 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.
On September 15, 2025, VF entered into a definitive agreement with Bluestar Alliance LLC to sell the Dickies® brand business (“Dickies”). On November 12, 2025, VF completed the sale of Dickies. All references to the impact of Dickies divestiture below represent the difference between Dickies revenue recognized in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026 (through the date of sale) and the amount of Dickies revenue recognized in the third and fourth quarters of Fiscal 2025. The Company determined that the sale of Dickies did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, and therefore did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation. Refer to Note 3 to VF's consolidated financial statements for additional information on the divestiture.
In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF realigned its reportable segments to reflect a change in how the Timberland® brand is

managed and the chief operating decision maker's key areas of focus. VF began managing its Timberland® and Timberland PRO® brands as one operating segment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. This operating segment has been aggregated with The North Face® brand in the Outdoor reportable segment and the Vans®, Kipling®, Eastpak® and Jansport® brands have been aggregated in the Active reportable segment. All other brands that have not been aggregated within the reportable segments described above, which do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment, have been grouped within an “All Other” category. This group includes the following brands: Dickies® (through the date of sale), Altra®, Smartwool®, Napapijri® and Icebreaker®. In the tables below, the Company has recast historical financial information to reflect the new reportable segments. These changes had no impact on previously reported consolidated results of operations. Refer to additional discussion in the “Information by Reportable Segment” section below and Note 21 to VF's consolidated financial statements.
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. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company determined that Supreme met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, VF has reported the results of Supreme and the related cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements, through the date of sale. These changes have been applied to all periods presented. In addition, interest expense and the related interest rate swap impact for the delayed draw Term Loan (“DDTL”), which totaled $31.1 million for the year ended March 2025, were allocated to discontinued operations due to the requirement within the DDTL Agreement, as amended, that the DDTL be prepaid upon the receipt of the net cash proceeds from the sale of Supreme. Refer to Note 3 to VF’s consolidated financial statements for additional information on discontinued operations.
Unless otherwise noted, amounts, percentages and discussion for all periods included below reflect the results of operations and financial condition from VF’s continuing operations.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Conflict in the Middle East
The conflict in the Middle East, which began during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, has contributed to heightened geopolitical uncertainty, including impacts to global supply chains and increased fuel and oil costs. These and other factors may lead to broader macroeconomic implications, such as decreased consumer spending. While the length, scope and intensity of the conflict is unknown, VF does not believe the impact will be material, but will continue to monitor the evolving macroeconomic environment and its ability to mitigate the impact on VF's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Dickies Divestiture
As noted above, VF completed the sale of Dickies on November 12, 2025. In connection with the closing of the transaction, VF received proceeds of $600.5 million, net of cash sold. VF recorded a final pre-tax gain of $127.2 million in the year ended March 2026, which included a reduction to the gain to reflect final working capital adjustments of $11.9 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, which will be paid in Fiscal 2027. The pre-tax gain is included in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026.
Impact of Tariffs
In April 2025, the U.S. government announced broad-based, reciprocal tariffs on foreign imports under the International Emergency Economic Power Act (“IEEPA”). In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated tariffs imposed under the IEEPA. Immediately following the IEEPA ruling, the U.S. government imposed additional new tariffs under other statutory authorities, resulting in a rapidly evolving tariff environment.
VF paid tariffs totaling $149.7 million imposed under IEEPA, and on February 20, 2026 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that these tariffs were deemed invalid. Further, on March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade ruled that U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (“CBP”) must refund IEEPA tariffs that were collected, with interest. As a result, VF recorded a tariff refund receivable of $149.7 million related to tariffs paid under IEEPA from April 2025 until February 20, 2026. Interest is not included due to the uncertainty of the amount but is not believed to be material. On April 20, 2026, approximately $57 million of IEEPA entries were submitted for refund processing. Submission and processing of the remaining IEEPA tariffs is subject to finalization of the process for the next phase of refunds by CBP. VF will re-evaluate its assessment at each reporting period based on any new information.
The tariff refund receivable is included in the accounts receivable, net line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 2026. For the year ended March 2026, VF recognized $93.8 million as a reduction to cost of goods sold. As of March 2026, $55.9 million is recorded as a reduction to inventory and will be recognized as a decrease in cost of goods sold as the inventory turns.
Also, VF recorded a liability of $37.6 million as of March 2026, reflecting the portion of the refund that VF has committed to reimburse certain vendors and partners, which is included in the accounts payable line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the year ended March 2026, VF recognized $22.7 million as an increase to cost of goods sold and $14.9 million as an increase to inventory. Amounts that are deferred into inventory will be recognized as an increase in the cost of goods sold as the inventory turns. Reimbursements will not be made to vendors and partners until after collection of the applicable IEEPA refunds.
VF has a diversified sourcing country mix. Approximately 85% of products purchased for sale in the U.S. are sourced through Southeast Asia and Central and South America, with Vietnam, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Indonesia comprising the top four sourcing markets. Less than 2% of total U.S. products are sourced through China.
While the tariff situation is dynamic and evolving, VF continues to analyze the impact of tariffs on our business and has taken steps
26 VF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K
Table of Contents
to mitigate our tariff exposure. Mitigation strategies have included, and may continue to include, sourcing optimization, accelerating production and shipments into the U.S., negotiations with our vendors and tactical price increases. The duration and scope of the tariffs are difficult to predict, along with the extent to which VF will be able to offset the impact through our mitigation efforts. VF will continue to monitor and evaluate new information as it becomes available.
Reinvent
On October 30, 2023, VF introduced Reinvent, a transformation program to enhance focus on brand-building and to improve operating performance and allow VF to achieve its full potential. The first announced steps in this transformation covered the following priorities: improve North America results, deliver the Vans® turnaround, reduce costs and strengthen the balance sheet.
In Fiscal 2025, the Company initiated the second phase of Reinvent, which is focused on a return to growth and improvements to profitability. In doing so, the Company initiated a set of transformational workstreams focused on revenue growth, margin expansion and selling, general and
administrative expense contraction. VF aims to generate between $500.0 and $600.0 million in net operating income expansion in Fiscal 2028 c
