The shoemaker of the popular brand, Vans — VF Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFC#NYSE">VFC</a>), highlighted that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45544873/v-f-corp-tumbles-after-q4-miss-vans-slump-and-gloomy-q1-forecast">dip in the segment sales</a> was part of the company&#8217;s turnaround plan, and investors would likely see the &#8220;high quality&#8221; earnings in the future.
What Happened: The Vans unit of VF Corp reported a 20% drop in sales as compared to the previous year and an 8% decline sequentially.
VF Corp&#8217;s President and CEO, Bracken Darrell, underscored that if you exclude Vans, the company&#8217;s total revenue growth would be up 4%.
&#8220;We told you last quarter that turnarounds are often nonlinear. To be clear, turnarounds can look nonlinear from a numerical standpoint, and this quarter is an illustration of that,&#8221; he said.
Darrell highlighted that 60% of the decline in the segment this quarter was a direct effect of deliberately reducing revenue to eliminate unprofitable or unproductive business. Additionally, 25% of it was driven by reduced storefronts and reduced channel inventory in China.
&#8220;Another 35% of the total decline was driven by additional set of deliberate actions, which were also in place last quarter that had a lower impact. These include the closure of value doors mainly in the U.S. that were margin eroding,&#8221; he said.
Underscoring the reasons for these declines, Darrell said, &#8220;And the results of these actions and others are that Vans gross margin is up significantly year-over-year.&#8221;
However, concerning the revenue, he said, &#8220;You don&#8217;t see the results just yet numerically, but you will. And when you do, they&#8217;ll be high quality.&nbsp;&#8220;

12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Intraday Session

V.F. Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFC#NYSE">VFC</a>) shares are trading lower in the premarket session on Wednesday after the company<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45537273/vf-corporation-releases-fourth-quarter-fiscal-2025-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> reported fourth-quarter results.</a>
The company reported quarterly adjusted earnings per share of 13 cents loss, beating the street view of 14 cents loss. Quarterly sales of $2.14 billion (down 5% year over year) missed the analyst consensus estimate of $2.18 billion.
Sales from the Vans unit dropped 22% year over year. The decline was in line with the previous quarter, partly due to strategic changes. Vans&#8217; customer traffic in global direct-to-consumer (DTC) stores remained weak. While new product sales grew, they were outweighed by declines in core iconic items.
