Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] |
RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS | RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)", a new accounting standard on revenue recognition that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The FASB subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics. Collectively, the guidance is referred to as FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 ("ASC 606"). The standard prescribes a five-step approach to revenue recognition: (1) identify the contracts with the customer; (2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contracts; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied. The standard also requires additional disclosure regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted this standard on April 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective method and applying this approach to contracts not completed as of that date. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard has been recognized in retained earnings. Comparative prior period information has not been restated and continues to be reported under accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in a net increase of $2.0 million in the retained earnings line item of the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 1, 2018. The cumulative effect adjustment relates primarily to i) recognition of revenues for certain wholesale and e-commerce transactions at shipment rather than upon delivery to the customer based on our evaluation of the transfer of control of the goods, ii) discontinued capitalization of certain costs related to ongoing customer arrangements and iii) adjustments to the timing of recognition for certain royalty amounts. Other effects of the adoption include presentation of allowances for sales incentive programs, discounts, markdowns, chargebacks, and returns as refund liabilities rather than as a reduction to accounts receivable and presentation of the right of return asset within other current assets rather than as a component of inventory in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, sourcing fees received from customers and advertising contributions from licensees that had previously been reported as an offset to costs or expenses are now reported as revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 3 for additional revenue disclosures. The following tables compare amounts reported in accordance with the requirements of ASC 606 to the amounts that would have been reported had the new standard not been applied:

There was no impact to investing or financing activities within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as a result of the adoption of ASC 606. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", an update to the accounting guidance related to the recognition and measurement of certain financial instruments. This guidance affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. This guidance became effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, but did not impact VF's consolidated financial statements. The FASB has subsequently issued an update to clarify the previous guidance. The amendments in this updated guidance became effective for VF in the second quarter of Fiscal 2019, but did not impact VF's consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-04, "Liabilities—Extinguishments of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20): Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products", an update to the accounting guidance on extinguishments of financial liabilities that exempts prepaid stored-value products, or gift cards, from the existing guidance. The updated guidance requires that financial liabilities related to prepaid stored-value products be subject to breakage accounting, consistent with ASC 606. This guidance became effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, but did not impact VF’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments", an update to the accounting guidance that addresses how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance became effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 but did not impact VF’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business", an update that provides a more narrow framework to be used in evaluating whether a set of assets and activities constitutes a business. This guidance became effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 and was applied when accounting for the acquisitions completed subsequent to the adoption date, but did not impact our conclusions on whether they were a business. Refer to Note 4 for further information related to acquisitions. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost", an update which requires employers to disaggregate the service cost component from other components of net periodic benefit costs. The standard requires employers to report the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs and to report the other components of net periodic benefit costs (which include interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service costs or credits and deferred actuarial gains and losses) separately and outside of operating income. The update specifies that only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization, which is consistent with VF’s current practice. The presentation change in the Consolidated Statements of Income requires application on a retrospective basis. The ASU was adopted by the Company on April 1, 2018, and as a result, VF reported increases in operating income and non-operating expense of $3.3 million and $6.4 million for the three and nine months ended December 2017, respectively. VF applied the practical expedient permitted under the guidance which allows entities to use information previously disclosed in the pension and other post-retirement benefit plans footnote as the basis to apply the retrospective presentation requirements. Refer to pension disclosure in Note 10. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting", an update that amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. This update provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting. This guidance became effective for VF beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, but did not impact VF’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2018, the FASB released guidance on the accounting for tax on the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act"). The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The guidance indicates that companies must make a policy decision to either record deferred taxes related to GILTI inclusions or treat any taxes on GILTI inclusions as period costs. The Company has completed its analysis related to this accounting policy election and has determined it will treat the taxes resulting from GILTI as a current-period expense, which is consistent with the treatment prior to the accounting policy election. In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118", which allowed the Company to record provisional amounts in earnings for the year ended December 30, 2017 due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the Tax Act. The Company recognized the estimated income tax effects of the Tax Act in its 2017 consolidated financial statements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") and recorded revisions of our provisional estimate during the three months ended March 2018, June 30, 2018 ("June 2018") and September 29, 2018 ("September 2018"). VF finalized its accounting for the impact of the Tax Act during the three months ended December 2018. Refer to Note 13 for more information regarding the amounts recorded. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", a new accounting standard on leasing. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics, including permitted transition methods. This new standard will require companies to record most leased assets and related liabilities on the balance sheet, and also retains a dual model approach for assessing lease classification and recognizing expense. VF's cross-functional implementation team has completed the design phase of the project, which involved reviewing the standard's provisions, evaluating real estate and non-real estate lease arrangements and identifying arrangements that may contain embedded leases. This project is now in the final stages of the implementation phase which included collecting information from lease contracts, assessing potential embedded leases, evaluating accounting policy elections and implementing a new lease management system. Additionally, VF is updating processes and internal controls over systems and financial reporting to respond to relevant risks associated with the new standard including the preparation of the required financial information and new disclosures. VF expects this standard will have a material impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheets but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company will adopt the new standard in the first quarter of the year ended March 28, 2020 ("Fiscal 2020") utilizing the modified retrospective method and will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings, if any, at the beginning of the period of adoption. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics. This guidance will be effective for VF in the first quarter of the year ended April 3, 2021 ("Fiscal 2021") with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities", an update that amends and simplifies certain aspects of hedge accounting rules to better portray the economic results of risk management activities in the financial statements. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional guidance on specific topics. This guidance will be effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on VF's consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income", an update that addresses the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate due to the enactment of the Tax Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The guidance will be effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF's consolidated financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting", an update that expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance will be effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on VF's consolidated financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, "Codification Improvements", an update that provides technical corrections, clarifications and other improvements across a variety of accounting topics. The transition and effective date guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each update; however, many of them will be effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on VF's consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement", an update that modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying or adding certain disclosures. The guidance will be effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF's disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation— Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans", an update that modifies the disclosure requirements for employers who sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The guidance will be effective for VF in Fiscal 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF's disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract", an update that aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance will be effective for VF in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF's consolidated financial statements.
