What was Dickies' annual revenue in 2016 (in millions of dollars)?

Williamson-Dickie generated approximately $875 million in revenue in the 12 months leading up to VF Corporation’s 2017 acquisition announcement.

That figure refers to Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Co., the parent company behind Dickies and related workwear brands—not necessarily to the Dickies label as a separately reported public company. Because Williamson-Dickie was privately held, detailed standalone annual reports were not broadly available.

VF announced the planned acquisition in August 2017, describing Williamson-Dickie as a major workwear business with brands including Dickies, Workrite, Kodiak, Terra, and Walls. The transaction was completed on October 2, 2017, for about $820 million in cash.

A common mix-up is confusing the $875 million revenue figure with the $820 million purchase price. They measure different things: one is recent sales, while the other is what VF paid to acquire the business.
