V.F. Corporation (NYSE:VFC) Q3 2024 Earnings Call Transcript February 6, 2024

V.F. Corporation isn’t one of the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds at the end of the third quarter (see the details here).

Operator: Greetings, and welcome to the VF Corporation Third Quarter 2024 Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A brief question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Allegra Perry, Vice President of Investor Relations. Thank you. You may begin.

Allegra Perry: Good afternoon, and welcome to VF Corporation's third quarter fiscal 2024 conference call. Participants on today's call will make forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These uncertainties are detailed in documents filed regularly with the SEC. Unless otherwise noted, amounts referred to on today's call will be on an adjusted constant dollar basis which we've defined in the press release that was issued this afternoon, and which we use as lead numbers in our discussion, because we believe they more accurately represent the true operational performance and underlying results of our business.

You may also hear us refer to reported amounts, which are in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of GAAP measures to adjusted amounts can be found in the supplemental financial tables included in the press release, which identify and quantify all excluded items and provide management's view of why this information is useful to investors. Joining me on the call will be VF's President and Chief Executive Officer, Bracken Darrell; and EVP and Chief Financial Officer, Matt Puckett. Following our prepared remarks, we'll open the call for questions. I'll now hand over to Bracken.

Bracken Darrell: Hello, everyone. Thanks for joining us. It's nice to be here with you for my second earnings call with VF six months in. Before I get started, I'd like to let you know about an important development within my leadership team. Matt Puckett, who's sitting right next to me, will be stepping down as our CFO later this year. He and I have agreed that it's time to make a change as part of the overall transformation efforts we're introducing across the company. Matt will stay on until we appoint his successor to help ensure a smooth transition. I want to thank Matt. His tenure at VF spans almost 23 years with roles across the organization and around the world. Since my arrival last July, Matt has been a valuable member of the team and an important player in helping to advance our transformation agenda.

I really appreciate his contributions and his continued service to VF during the transition. He's also just a great person and we'll miss him, but not just yet. He'll be here for a while. Moving back to the quarter or back to today's order of business, first I'll review the quarter, then I'll update you on our four near-term priorities we described in last quarter's call, which we call Reinvent. I'll then talk briefly about our newly announced strategic portfolio review, and then I'll hand it over to Matt to cover the financials a little more deeply. Q3 was a particularly disappointing quarter with total revenue down 17% compared to down just 4% last quarter, where the results did benefit from timing shift in deliveries. Results were challenged across our brands, including The North Face and the rest of the outdoor brands.
