Discontinued Operations
Nautica® Brand Business During the three months ended December 2017, the Company reached the strategic decision to exit the Nautica® brand business, and determined that it met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of the Nautica® brand business as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and presented the related held-for-sale assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets through the date of sale. On April 30, 2018, VF completed the sale of the Nautica® brand business. The Company received proceeds of $285.8 million, net of cash sold, resulting in a final after-tax loss on sale of $38.2 million, which includes a decrease of $5.4 million and an increase of $18.1 million in the estimated loss on sale included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended March 2019 and the three months ended March 2018, respectively. The year ended December 2017 includes a $25.5 million estimated loss on sale. The results of the Nautica® brand's North America business were previously reported in the former Sportswear segment, and the results of the Asia business were previously reported in the former Outdoor & Action Sports segment. The results of the Nautica® brand business recorded in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income were income of $0.8 million (including a $5.4 million decrease in the estimated loss on sale), losses of $8.4 million (including an $18.1 million increase in the estimated loss on sale), losses of $95.2 million (including an estimated loss on sale of $25.5 million and an impairment charge of $104.7 million) and income of $31.4 million for the year ended March 2019, the three months ended March 2018 and the years ended December 2017 and 2016, respectively. Certain corporate overhead costs and segment costs previously allocated to the Nautica® brand business for segment reporting purposes did not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been reallocated to continuing operations. In addition, the goodwill impairment charge recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2017 of $104.7 million related to the Nautica® reporting unit, previously excluded from the calculation of segment profit, was reclassified to discontinued operations. Under the terms of the transition services agreement, the Company is providing certain support services for periods up to 12 months from the closing date of the transaction. Revenue and related expense items associated with the transition services are recorded in the Other category, and operating expense reimbursements are recorded within the corporate and other expenses line item, in the reconciliation of segment revenues and segment profit in Note 19. Licensing Business During the three months ended April 1, 2017, the Company reached the strategic decision to exit its Licensing Business, which comprised the Licensed Sports Group (“LSG”) and the JanSport® brand collegiate businesses. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of the businesses as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income through their respective dates of sale. LSG included the Majestic® brand and was previously reported within the former Imagewear segment. On April 28, 2017, VF completed the sale of the LSG business. The Company received proceeds of $213.5 million, net of cash sold, resulting in a final after-tax loss on sale of $4.1 million, which is included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 2017. The LSG results recorded in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income were losses of $4.6 million (including the loss on sale of $4.1 million) and income of $63.3 million for the years ended December 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the three months ended December 2017, VF completed the sale of the assets associated with the JanSport® brand collegiate business, which was previously included within the former Outdoor & Action Sports segment. The Company received net proceeds of $1.5 million and recorded a final after-tax loss on sale of $0.2 million, which is included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 2017. The JanSport® brand collegiate results recorded in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income were losses of $6.5 million (including the loss on sale of $0.2 million) and $1.0 million for the years ended December 2017 and 2016, respectively. Certain corporate overhead and other costs previously allocated to the Licensing Business for segment reporting purposes did not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been reallocated to continuing operations. Under the terms of the transition services agreement, the Company is providing certain support services for periods up to 24 months from the closing date of the transaction. Revenue and related expense items associated with the transition services are recorded in the Work segment, and operating expense reimbursements are recorded within the corporate and other expenses line item in the reconciliation of segment revenues and segment profit in Note 19. Former Contemporary Brands Segment During the three months ended July 2, 2016, the Company reached the strategic decision to sell the businesses in its former Contemporary Brands segment. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of the former Contemporary Brands segment as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income through the date of sale. On August 26, 2016, VF completed the sale of its former Contemporary Brands segment and received proceeds of $116.0 million, net of cash sold. The former Contemporary Brands segment included the businesses of the 7 For All Mankind®, Splendid® and Ella Moss® brands and was previously disclosed as a separate reportable segment of VF. The transaction resulted in an after-tax loss on sale of $104.4 million which was included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 2016. The results of the former Contemporary Brands segment recorded in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income were losses of $98.4 million (including the loss on sale of $104.4 million) for the year ended December 2016. Certain corporate overhead costs previously allocated to the former Contemporary Brands segment for segment reporting purposes did not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been reallocated to continuing operations. VF provided certain support services under transition services agreements and completed these services during the three months ended September 30, 2017. These services did not have a material impact on VF’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 2017.
