VF Corp. reported a first-quarter loss ended June 28, but the loss was smaller, and sales were higher than company guidance and Wall Street expectations. Sales were flat, with strong gains at The North Face and Timberland offsetting a 14 percent decline in Vans due to inventory rationalization. Excluding Vans, revenue rose 6 percent.
Sales in the quarter reached $1.8 billion, topping analysts’ consensus target of $1.7 billion. Earnings on an adjusted basis were a loss of 24 cents a share compared to analysts’ consensus estimate of a loss of 34 cents.
