Quarterly Report


Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Overview
Highlights of the third quarter of 2008 included:
• Revenues and earnings per share for the third quarter were each at record levels.

• Revenues increased 6% over the prior year quarter to $2,206.6 million, with the increase coming from organic growth in our Outdoor businesses and from acquisitions in the prior year.

• Our direct-to-consumer and international businesses continue to be key drivers of growth, with these revenues in the quarter rising 12% and 22%, respectively. International revenues represented 34% of total revenues.

• Gross margin as a percent of revenues rose to 44.4% from 43.9% in the prior year quarter.

• VF acquired 100% ownership of its former 50%-owned joint venture that marketed LeeÒ branded products in Spain and Portugal ("Lee Spain"). The cost of the additional investment was $25.5 million, consisting of $14.9 million in cash and transfer of certain assets held by the former joint venture. The joint venture had revenues of $35 million in its latest fiscal year.

Discontinued Operations
In December 2006, management and the Board of Directors decided to exit the women's intimate apparel business. The sale, which closed on April 1, 2007, was consistent with VF's stated objective of focusing on lifestyle businesses having higher growth and profit potential. The results of operations and cash flows of the intimate apparel business are separately presented as discontinued operations for all periods. Similarly, the assets and liabilities of this business have been reclassified and reported as held for sale for all periods presented. See Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Unless otherwise stated, the remaining sections of this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations relate only to continuing operations.
