Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
REPORTABLE SEGMENT INFORMATION | REPORTABLE SEGMENT INFORMATION The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based on a global brand view which represents VF's operating segments. The operating segments have been evaluated and combined into reportable segments because they have met the similar economic characteristics and qualitative aggregation criteria set forth in the relevant accounting guidance. Based on this assessment, the Company's reportable segments have been identified as: Outdoor, Active and Work. Below is a description of VF's reportable segments and the brands included within each:
REPORTABLE SEGMENT |  | BRANDS
Outdoor - Outdoor apparel, footwear and equipment |  | The North Face®
|  | Timberland®
|  | Icebreaker®
|  | Smartwool®
|  | Altra®
Active - Active apparel, footwear and accessories |  | Vans®
|  | Kipling®
|  | Napapijri®
|  | Eastpak®
|  | JanSport®
|  | Eagle Creek®
Work - Work and work-inspired lifestyle apparel and footwear |  | Dickies®
|  | Timberland PRO®
Other - included in the tables below for purposes of reconciliation of revenues and profit, but it is not considered a reportable segment. Other includes results related to the sale of non-VF products and transition services primarily related to the sale of the Nautica® brand business. The Company continuously assesses the composition of its portfolio to ensure it is aligned with its strategic objectives and positioned to maximize growth and return to shareholders. In doing so, it evaluates whether changes may need to be made to our internal reporting structure to better support and assess the operations of our business going forward. If changes are made, we will assess the resulting effect on our reportable segments, operating segments and reporting units, if any. The primary financial measures used by management to evaluate the financial results of VF's reportable segments are segment revenues and segment profit. Segment profit comprises the operating income and other income (expense), net line items of each segment. Accounting policies used for internal management reporting at the individual segments are consistent with those in Note 1, except as stated below. Corporate costs (other than common costs allocated to the segments), impairment charges and net interest expense are not controlled by segment management and therefore are excluded from the measurement of segment profit. Common costs such as information systems processing, retirement benefits and insurance are allocated from corporate costs to the segments based on appropriate metrics such as usage or employment. Corporate costs that are not allocated to the segments consist of corporate headquarters expenses (including compensation and benefits of corporate management and staff, certain legal and professional fees and administrative and general costs) and other expenses which include a portion of defined benefit pension costs, development costs for management information systems, costs of registering, maintaining and enforcing certain of VF’s trademarks and miscellaneous consolidated costs. Defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. are centrally managed. The current year service cost component of pension cost is allocated to the segments, while the remaining pension cost components are reported in corporate and other expenses. Segment assets, for internal management purposes, are those used directly in or resulting from the operations of each business, which are accounts receivable and inventories. Segment assets included in the Other category represent balances related to transition services and other corporate activities, and are provided for purposes of reconciliation as the Other category is not considered a reportable segment. Total expenditures for additions to long-lived assets are not disclosed as this information is not regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker at the segment level. Financial information for VF’s reportable segments is as follows:
