Fair Value Measurements

NOTE 16 —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.

VF’s cash equivalents include money market funds and time deposits with maturities within three months of their purchase dates, 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. VF’s deferred compensation assets primarily represent investments held within plan trusts as an economic hedge of the related deferred compensation liabilities. These investments primarily include mutual funds (Level 1) that are

valued based on quoted prices in active markets. 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.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, VF entered into a contract with a consulting firm to support Reinvent, VF’s transformation program. Fees related to this contract could be up to $146.0 million, which includes $71.0 million of fixed fees and $75.0 million of conti ngent fees tied to increases in VF’s stock price. The contingent fees are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718— Stock

Compensationas a liability award to a non-employee. Accordingly, VF has utilized the Monte Carlo valuation model (Level 3) to estimate the fair value of the award at its inception, and will adjust such fair value on a quarterly basis over the measurement period, which concludes on June 30, 2027. Changes in the fair value are recognized in the SG&A expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the relevant service period, which concluded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026. Accordingly, future changes in fair value are recognized immediately in the SG&A expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The valuation includes the effects of market conditions that are based upon VF’s stock price performance relative to stock price targets and a minimum payout dependent on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index return and VF’s total shareholder return versus that of peer companies over the measurement period. As of September 2026, the total fair value of the remaining contingent fees was $2.1 million, with reductions in SG&A expense of $4.2 million and $4.5 million recognized during the three and six months ended September 2026, respectively. During thesix months ended September

2025, $20.0 million of contingent fees were paid to the consulting firm. As of September 2025, the total fair value of the remaining contingent fees was $6.7 million, with $2.7 million and $1.7 million recognized in the three and six months ended September 2025, respectively.

All other significant 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 September 2026 and March 2026, their carrying values approximated their fair values. Additionally, at September 2026 and March 2026, the carrying values of VF’s long-term debt, including the current portion, were $3,504.4 million and $3,519.9 million, respectively, compared with fair values of $3,241.7 million and $3,262.5 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.
