The company said that for its third quarter of fiscal 2018, it brought in net income of $507.1 million, or $1.26 per share. The figure was an improvement over the net income of $386.1 million, or 97 cents per share from its third quarter of fiscal 2017.

On an adjusted basis, VF Corp said that its earnings tallied up to $1.43 per share, which was stronger than the $1.33 per share that analysts were calling for, according to data compiled by FactSet. Revenue was also strong as it rose to $3.907 billion from its sales of $3.392 billion during the year-ago quarter.

Analysts were calling for the company to bring in revenue of $3.865 billion, according to data compiled by FactSet. VF Corp — which owns brands such as Vans, The North Face and Timberland, said that earnings were driven largely by core brands in its international and direct-to-consumer platforms and work businesses.
