The share of Jeanswear has risen marginally by 1.5%<\/span><\/strong> while Outdoor & Action Sports has taken a\u00c2\u00a0 jump of about 2%<\/span><\/b>\u00c2\u00a0 in sales. This is not surprising as Activewear\u00c2\u00a0 is the current flavour of the consumers and VF, like many other brands, is trying to struggle to keep their denim sales to the\u00c2\u00a0 same levels. If we look at the revenue distribution of Sportswear , there is a fall of 14.6%<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0 from the same quarter of last year . Except Outdoor Sports and Jeanswear , rest of the segments registered a fall in the revenue.<\/p>\n

Looking at the change in the revenue against the changes in profit in the Q1 of 2015 and 2016, we found that only Jeanswear is sole segment in which growth in profit is more than growth in revenue<\/strong>. The revenue increased by 1.5% while the profit margin increased by 4.1%. Rest of the segments are showing decrease either in revenue or profit or in both.<\/p>\n

\"VF<\/a><\/p>\n

The story is not much different when we consider the contribution of different segments to the profit margin. Though the absolute contribution of the Outdoor segment was expected to be the highest, the % share also increased in this case while all other segments reported reduced profits . Jeanswear\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s contribution to the profitability has been increased .<\/p>\n

On the whole, VF is increasingly becoming a corporation getting its maximum turnover and profits from Activewear as well as Jeanswear segment and looks increasingly focused in this area as more and more energies of the organization get diverted to this high return segment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
