Previous report
There are risks associated with VF’s acquisitions, divestitures and portfolio management, including our recently completed sale of the Supreme® brand business to EssilorLuxottica.
Previous report
Any acquisitions, divestitures or mergers by VF, including our completed sale of the Supreme® brand business to EssilorLuxottica, will be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in acquisitions or divestitures of companies, businesses or brands. These risks include, among other things, higher than anticipated acquisition or divestiture costs and expenses, the difficulty and expense of integrating or separating the operations, systems and personnel of the companies, businesses or brands, the loss of key employees and consumers as a result of changes in management or ownership, and slower progress toward environmental, social and governance goals given challenges with data acquisition and integration, the difficulty of accessing and disclosing sufficient environmental, social and governance data to comply with current and emerging environmental, social and governance regulations, and integration of environmental, social and governance initiatives overall. In addition, geographic distances may make integration of acquired businesses more difficult. We may not be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with any acquisitions or divestitures. Moreover,
Previous report
failure to effectively manage VF’s portfolio of brands in line with growth targets and shareholder expectations, including acquisition choices, integration approach, transaction pricing and divestiture timing could result in unfavorable impacts to growth and value creation.
Previous report
Our acquisitions and divestitures may cause large one-time expenses or create goodwill or other intangible assets that could result in significant impairment charges. We also make certain estimates and assumptions in order to determine purchase price allocation and estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If our estimates or assumptions used to value these assets and liabilities are not accurate, we may be exposed to losses that may be material.
Previous report
On July 17, 2024, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement for EssilorLuxottica to acquire the Supreme® brand business from VF for $1.5 billion in cash, subject to customary adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses. On October 1, 2024, we completed the Supreme sale. We may not realize some or all of the expected benefits from the sale of Supreme.
Previous report
VF’s balance sheet includes a significant amount of intangible assets and goodwill. A decline in the fair value of an intangible asset or of a business unit could result in an asset impairment charge, such as the recent impairment charge related to the Dickies indefinite-lived intangible asset.
Previous report
VF’s policy is to evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for possible impairment as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of each year, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of such assets may be below their carrying amount. In addition, intangible assets that are being amortized are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. For these impairment tests, we use various valuation methods to estimate the fair value of our business units and intangible assets. If the fair value of an asset is less than its carrying value, we would recognize an impairment charge for the difference.
Previous report
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, due to the continued downturn in the Dickies financial results and projections, combined with expectations of a slower recovery than previously anticipated, VF determined that a triggering event had occurred requiring impairment testing of the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. As a result of the impairment testing
Previous report
performed, VF recorded an impairment charge of $51.0 million to the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The impairment primarily related to the reduction in financial projections for Dickies.
Previous report
It is possible that we could have another impairment charge for goodwill or trademark and trade name intangible assets in future periods if (i) the businesses do not perform as projected, (ii) overall economic conditions in Fiscal 2025 or future years vary from our current assumptions (including changes in discount rates and foreign currency exchange rates), (iii) business conditions or our strategies for a specific business unit change from our current assumptions, (iv) investors require higher rates of return on equity investments in the marketplace, or (v) enterprise values of comparable publicly traded companies, or of actual sales transactions of comparable companies, were to decline, resulting in lower comparable multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and, accordingly, lower implied values of goodwill and intangible assets. Any future impairment charge for goodwill or intangible assets could have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
