VF Corporation, a US-based global leader in branded lifestyle apparel, footwear and accessories, is expecting operating margin of approximately 15 percent by FY27, reflecting both gross margin expansion and SG&A leverage. The brand introduced fiscal 2027 (FY27) long-term strategic growth plan, which outlines its plan to drive value for shareholders.
FY27 financial targets include revenue five-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) up mid- to high single digit percentage (in constant dollars), cash available to return to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases of approximately $7 bn (cumulative between fiscal year 2023 (FY23) and FY27) with Organic Total Shareholder Return (TSR) between a low double-digit percentage and low teens percentage CAGR, the company said.
“Our new five-year growth plan demonstrates how we will leverage VF’s proven strengths and distinct model to deliver superior returns to shareholders over the long term,” said VF Chairman, President and CEO, Steve Rendle. “The global economic environment has dramatically changed since we held our last Investor Day in late 2019. Despite significant disruptions during the past three years, VF has successfully navigated the challenges to become a more agile and focused enterprise that is advancing a clear vision to be the world’s most dynamic portfolio of iconic, deeply loved, active-lifestyle brands.”
“While economic uncertainties persist, we are actively addressing challenges within our business, and we remain confident in our ability to generate consistent, sustainable growth across our brand portfolio over the long term. We will continue to deepen our engagement with consumers, expand into new categories and markets, leverage our powerful business platforms, and lean on the seasoned leaders and talented teams who are driving our strategies. VF and our brands remain well-positioned to continue our journey of broad-based growth and success,” explained Rendle.
