Supply-Chain Headaches Ease for Many Companies

Supply-chain snarls are fading from among the top challenges facing some U.S. companies as freight congestion eases, shipping costs fall and factories in Asia are freed from Covid-19 lockdowns. The rising costs and lengthy transit times pushed some companies to cut back on slower-selling products and raise prices. Today, freight congestion has cleared and ocean shipping costs have fallen close to prepandemic levels. Mr. Bergman said the decline was “partially offset by 40 basis points of favorable supply-chain impact driven by lower freight costs, which more than offset product cost headwinds during the quarter.”Some companies said they still have a way to go before supply-chain challenges are resolved. And Ford Motor Co. Chief Executive Jim Farley told a virtual town hall on Feb. 9 that supply-chain problems were continuing to hamper the company’s progress.

But Harrer, who joined Vans from Dollar Shave Club in April 2021, noted that Vans wasn't reminding people about those classic shoes. Vans stopped marketing its classic sneakers for some time before resuming earlier this year with the "Classic Since Forever" campaign. "Our top-tier limited-distribution footwear, which you may know as Vans Vault, has previously met the needs of influential footwear-trend accounts in the past," he said. With Vans Vault, the company takes classic shoes and collaborates with popular designers and boutiques on new colorways. Vans Vault releases compete with Nike, Adidas, Converse, and others for the general sneaker lover.

The shakeup at the top of VF comes as the apparel maker lowered its sales and earnings guidance. VF Corp. on Monday said Steven Rendle has retired as chairman, president and chief executive, as the apparel maker cut its sales and earnings guidance amid flagging consumer demand. VF said Benno Dorer , the former CEO of Clorox Co., is stepping in as interim president and CEO while the Denver company conducts a search for a successor to Mr. Rendle, who had been chairman and CEO since 2017. Mr. Dorer has been a VF board member since 2017 and served as lead independent director since July 2021.
Benno Dorer, who sits on the company's board, will serve as interim CEO while the company searches for Rendle's permanent replacement. VF Corp. said it now expects full-year revenue to increase by 3% or 4% over the prior year, down from previously projected growth of 5% or 6%. It estimates its full-year earnings to come in at about $2.00 to $2.20 per share, down from previous guidance of $2.40 to $2.50, announced a few weeks ago. VF Corp. reported full-year earnings of $3.18 per share last year. This is the second time in less than two months that VF Corp. has slashed its guidance.
