Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES Summary of Derivative Financial Instruments All of VF’s outstanding derivative financial instruments at September 2025 are foreign currency exchange forward contracts. Although derivatives meet the criteria for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedging relationship, a limited number of derivative contracts intended to hedge assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The notional amounts of all outstanding foreign currency exchange forward contracts we r e $3.1 billion at September 2025, March 2025 and September 2024, consisting primarily of contracts hedging exposures to the euro, British pound, Chinese renminbi, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc, Mexican peso, Taiwan dollar, Polish zloty, Swedish krona, South Korean won and Japanese yen. These derivative contracts have maturities up to 20 months. During the three months ended December 2024, VF settled interest rate swap contracts that were in place to hedge the cash flow risk of interest payments on the variable-rate DDTL Agreement. The DDTL was prepaid on October 4, 2024. The notional amount of VF's outstanding interest rate swap contracts was $500.0 million at September 2024. The following table presents outstanding derivatives on an individual contract basis:

VF records and presents the fair values of all of its derivative assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis, even though they are subject to master netting agreements. If VF were to offset and record the asset and liability balances on a net basis in accordance with the terms of its master netting agreements, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets would be adjusted from the current gross presentation to the net amounts as detailed in the following table:

Cash Flow Hedges VF primarily uses foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of the exchange risk for its forecasted sales, inventory purchases, operating costs and certain intercompany transactions, including sourcing and management fees and royalties. The Company also used interest rate swap contracts to hedge against a portion of the exposure related to its interest payments on its variable-rate debt, which was prepaid on October 4, 2024. The effects of cash flow hedging included in VF’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Consolidated Statements of Operations are summarized as follows:

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges VF uses foreign currency exchange contracts to manage foreign currency exchange risk on third-party and intercompany accounts receivable and payable, as well as third-party and intercompany borrowings and interest payments. These contracts are not designated as hedges, and are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized directly in earnings. Gains or losses on these contracts largely offset the net transaction losses or gains on the related assets and liabilities. In the case of derivative contracts executed on foreign currency exposures that are no longer probable of occurring, VF de-desig nates these hedges and the fair value changes of these instruments are also recognized directly in earnings. The impact of de-designated derivative contracts and changes in the fair value of derivative contracts not designated as hedges, recognized as gains or losses in VF's Consolidated Statements of Operations were not material for the three and six months ended September 2025 and September 2024. Other Derivative Information At September 2025, accumulated OCL incl uded $60.1 million of pre-tax net deferr ed losses for foreig n currency exchange contracts that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The amounts ultimately reclassified to earnings will depend on exchange rates in effect when outstanding derivative contracts are settled. Net Investment Hedge The Company has designated its euro-denominated fixed-rate notes, which represented €2.0 billion in aggregate principal as of September 2025, as a net investment hedge of VF’s investment in certain foreign operations. Because this debt qualified as a nonderivative hedging instrument, foreign currency transaction gains or losses of the debt are deferred in the foreign currency translation and other component of accumulate d OCL as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on the hedged investments. During the three and six-month periods ended September 2025, the Company recognized an after-tax gain of $4.3 million and an after-tax loss of $130.1 million, respectively, in other comprehensive income (loss) related to th e net investment hedge transaction and an after-ta x loss of $64.8 million and $54.0 million for the three and six-month periods ended September 2024, respectively. Any amounts deferred in accumula ted OCL will re main until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated.
