FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue” or similar expressions. In particular, statements under the headings “Outlook for 2011” and “Business and Industry Trends” and other information appearing under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” include forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements inherently involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements.

Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of our management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. More information on factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated is included from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011, particularly under the caption “Risk Factors.”

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011, particularly under the caption “Risk Factors.” We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, other than as required by law.

We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You can inspect, read and copy these reports, proxy statements and other information at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You can obtain information regarding the operation of the SEC’s Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains a website at www.sec.gov that makes available reports, proxy statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

These statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, in accordance with those rules and regulations, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of Hanesbrands Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Hanesbrands”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

 

(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Disclosures

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new accounting rules related to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The new accounting rules require new disclosures regarding significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the activity within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The new accounting rules also clarify existing disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation of assets or liabilities and the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of these new rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows but resulted in certain additional disclosures reflected in Note 8.

Fair Value Measurements

In May 2011, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to fair value measurements. The new accounting rules clarify some existing concepts, eliminate wording differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in some limited cases, change some principles to achieve convergence between GAAP and IFRS. The new accounting rules result in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between GAAP and IFRS. The new accounting rules also expand the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. The new accounting rules will be effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued new accounting rules that require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new accounting rules eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The new accounting rules will be effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

In September 2011, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to testing goodwill for impairment. The new accounting rules permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test prescribed under current accounting rules. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The new accounting rules will be effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

(3) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) was computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the quarters and nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010. Diluted EPS was calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock using the treasury stock method. The reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarters and nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 is as follows:

     Quarter Ended      Nine Months Ended  
     October 1,
2011
     October 2,
2010
     October 1,
2011
     October 2,

     1,230        664        1,221        781  

Restricted stock units

For the quarters ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, 13 and 0 restricted stock units, respectively, and options to purchase 0 and 606 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, 13 and 0 restricted stock units, respectively, and options to purchase 6 and 606 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Deductions and write-offs, which do not increase or decrease income, represent write-offs of previously reserved accounts receivable and allowed customer chargebacks and deductions against gross accounts receivable.

Sales of Accounts Receivable

The Company has entered into agreements to sell selected trade accounts receivable to financial institutions. After the sale, the Company does not retain any interests in the receivables and the applicable financial institution services and collects these accounts receivable directly from the customer. Net proceeds of these accounts receivable sale programs are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as part of operating cash flows. The Company recognized funding fees of $880 and $2,295 during the quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2011 and $1,094 and $2,557 during the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2010, respectively, for sales of accounts receivable to financial institutions in the “Other expenses” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

As of October 1, 2011, the Company had $15,000 outstanding under the $600,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) under the senior secured credit facility that it entered into in 2006 and amended and restated in December 2009 (as amended and restated, the “2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility”), $12,729 of standby and trade letters of credit issued and outstanding under this facility and $572,271 of borrowing availability.

In February 2011, the Company amended the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility, which includes the Revolving Loan Facility, to reflect improved debt ratings. This amendment reduced the interest rate, extended the maturity date by two years to December 10, 2015, and increased the flexibility of debt covenants and the use of excess cash flow. In addition, the commitment fee for the unused portion of revolving loan commitments was reduced from 75 basis points to 50 basis points. Further, the applicable margin pricing grid for the loans, which varies based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio (as defined below), was reduced by 125 basis points at each applicable Leverage Ratio level.

Pursuant to this amendment, the ratio of total debt to EBITDA (the “Leverage Ratio”) that the Company may not exceed was increased from 4.00 to 1 for each fiscal quarter ending between October 16, 2010 and April 15, 2011 to 4.50 to 1, and will decline over time to 3.75 to 1. Also, the minimum ratio of EBITDA to consolidated total interest expense that the Company is required to maintain was decreased from 3.25 to 1 for each fiscal quarter ending between July 16, 2011 and October 15, 2012 to 3.00 to 1 and will increase over time to 3.25 to 1. In addition, the Company will be required to maintain a maximum ratio of senior secured indebtedness to EBITDA, which for each fiscal quarter ending between October 16, 2010 and October 15, 2012 cannot exceed 2.50 to 1 and will decline over time to 2.00 to 1. The methods of calculating all of the components used in these ratios are included in the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility. This amendment also significantly increased the flexibility of the indebtedness, investment and restricted payments baskets and use of excess cash flow under the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Company incurred $3,089 in debt amendment fees in connection with the amendment, which will be amortized over the term of the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility.

In January 2011, the Company amended the accounts receivable securitization facility that it entered into in November 2007 (the “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility”) to provide for two of the subsidiaries acquired by the Company in the Gear for Sports acquisition, in addition to the Company, to sell, on a revolving

basis, certain domestic trade receivables pursuant to this facility. Prior to this amendment, the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility contained the same financial ratio provisions as those contained in the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility. Pursuant to this amendment, the Company is required to maintain the financial ratios and other financial covenants contained from time to time in the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility, provided that any changes to such covenants after the date of this amendment will only be applicable for purposes of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility if approved by the managing agents under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility or their affiliates. This amendment also provided for certain other amendments to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, including extending the termination date to March 31, 2011. In connection with this amendment, certain fees were due to the managing agents and certain fees payable to the committed purchasers and the conduit purchasers were decreased.

The Company also amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility in March 2011. In order to take greater advantage of favorable interest rates, the amount of funding available under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, which was initially $250,000 and which the Company reduced to $150,000 effective February 2010, was increased to $225,000. This amendment also provided for certain other amendments to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, including extending the termination date to March 16, 2012. In addition, certain of the factors that contribute to the overall availability of funding were modified in a manner that, taken together, could result in an increase in the amount of funding that will be available under the facility. The Company incurred $668 in debt amendment fees in connection with the amendment, which will be amortized over the term of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility.

As of October 1, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit facilities.

 

(7) Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The Company uses financial instruments to manage its exposures to movements in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The use of these financial instruments modifies the Company’s exposure to these risks with the goal of reducing the risk or cost to the Company. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivative contracts.

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value is based upon either market quotes for actively traded instruments or independent bids for nonexchange traded instruments. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identifying the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivatives that are designated as hedges of specific assets, liabilities, firm commitments or forecasted transactions to the hedged risk. On the date the derivative is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, net investment hedge or a mark to market hedge, and accounts for the derivative in accordance with its designation. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, or if the anticipated transaction is no longer likely to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting, and any deferred gains or losses are recorded in the respective measurement period. The Company currently does not have any fair value or net investment hedge instruments.

The Company may be exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by individual counterparties or the entire group of counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts. Risk of nonperformance by counterparties is mitigated by dealing with highly rated counterparties and by diversifying across counterparties.

Mark to Market Hedges

A derivative used as a hedging instrument whose change in fair value is recognized to act as an economic hedge against changes in the values of the hedged item is designated a mark to market hedge.

Mark to Market Hedges — Intercompany Foreign Exchange Transactions

The Company uses foreign exchange derivative contracts to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on anticipated intercompany purchase and lending transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange derivative contracts are recorded as mark to market hedges when the hedged item is a recorded asset or liability that is revalued in each accounting period. Mark to market hedge derivatives relating to intercompany foreign exchange contracts are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as cash flow from operating activities. As of October 1, 2011, the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to purchase and sell foreign currencies in the Company’s foreign currency mark to market hedge derivative portfolio was $1,000 and $76,406, respectively, using the exchange rate at the reporting date.

Cash Flow Hedges

A hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability is designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the impact of the hedged item is recognized in the income statement, the gain or loss included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” is reported on the same line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged item.

Cash Flow Hedges — Interest Rate Derivatives

From time to time, the Company uses interest rate cash flow hedges in the form of swaps and caps in order to mitigate the Company’s exposure to variability in cash flows for the future interest payments on a designated portion of floating rate debt. The effective portion of interest rate hedge gains and losses deferred in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” is reclassified into earnings as the underlying debt interest payments are recognized. Interest rate cash flow hedge derivatives are reported as a component of interest expense and therefore are reported as cash flow from operating activities similar to the manner in which cash interest payments are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company is required under the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility to hedge a portion of its floating rate debt to reduce interest rate risk caused by floating rate debt issuance. To comply with this requirement, in 2010, the Company entered into hedging arrangements whereby it capped the LIBOR interest rate component on an aggregate of $490,735 of the floating rate debt under the Floating Rate Senior Notes at 4.262%. The interest rate cap arrangements, with notional amounts of $240,735 and $250,000, expire in December 2011.

Cash Flow Hedges — Foreign Currency Derivatives

The Company uses forward exchange and option contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on short-term foreign currency-denominated transactions, foreign currency-denominated investments, and other known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The effective portion of foreign exchange hedge gains and losses deferred in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” is reclassified into earnings as the underlying inventory is sold, using

historical inventory turnover rates. The settlement of foreign exchange hedge derivative contracts related to the purchase of inventory or other hedged items are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as cash flow from operating activities.

Historically, the principal currencies hedged by the Company include the Euro, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen. Forward exchange contracts mature on the anticipated cash requirement date of the hedged transaction, generally within one year. As of October 1, 2011, the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies in the Company’s foreign currency cash flow hedge derivative portfolio was $25,822, using the exchange rate at the reporting date.

Cash Flow Hedges — Commodity Derivatives

Cotton is the primary raw material used to manufacture many of the Company’s products and is purchased at market prices. The Company is able to lock in the cost of cotton reflected in the price it pays for yarn from its primary yarn suppliers in an attempt to protect its business from the volatility of the market price of cotton. In addition, from time to time, the Company uses commodity financial instruments to hedge the price of cotton, for which there is a high correlation between the hedged item and the hedge instrument. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transactions in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating commodity prices. There were no amounts outstanding under cotton futures or cotton option contracts at October 1, 2011 and January 1, 2011.

The Company expects to reclassify into earnings during the next 12 months a net loss from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” of approximately $6,848. The amounts deferred in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” associated with a Floating Rate Senior Notes interest rate hedge that was terminated at the time the Company entered into the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility were frozen at the termination date and will be amortized over the original remaining term of the interest rate hedge instrument. The unamortized balance in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” was $8,115 as of October 1, 2011.

The changes in fair value of derivatives excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives used as cash flow hedges are reported in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized gains for the quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2011 related to ineffectiveness of hedging relationships for foreign exchange contracts of $254 and $191, respectively. The Company recognized gains (losses) for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2010 related to ineffectiveness of hedging relationships for foreign exchange contracts of $(1) and $6, respectively.

(8) Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, is utilized for disclosing the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of October 1, 2011, the Company held certain financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These consisted of the Company’s derivative instruments related to interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan investments are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined with pricing models using LIBOR interest rate curves, spreads, volatilities and other relevant information developed using market data and are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of foreign currency derivatives are determined using the cash flows of the foreign exchange contract, discount rates to account for the passage of time and current foreign exchange market data and are categorized as Level 2.

There were no changes during the quarter ended October 1, 2011 to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between the three level categories and there were no Level 3 assets or liabilities measured on a quarterly basis during the quarter ended October 1, 2011. As of and during the quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2011, the Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of October 1, 2011 and January 1, 2011. The fair value of debt was $2,149,091 and $2,060,828 as of October 1, 2011 and January 1, 2011 and had a carrying value of $2,180,735 and $2,080,735, respectively. The fair values were estimated using quoted market prices as provided in secondary markets which consider the Company’s credit risk and market related conditions. The carrying amounts of the Company’s notes payable approximated fair value as of October 1, 2011 and January 1, 2011, primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

(10) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 20% for the quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2011, and 20% and 12% for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2010, respectively. The lower effective income tax rate of 12% for the nine months ended October 2, 2010 was primarily attributable to a one-time income tax benefit of approximately $20,000 resulting from the finalization of tax reviews and audits for amounts that were less than originally anticipated.

As previously disclosed, the Company and Sara Lee Corporation (“Sara Lee”) have disagreed as to the amount of deferred taxes that should have been attributable to the Company’s United States and Canadian operations on the Company’s opening balance sheet as of September 6, 2006 following its spin off from Sara Lee. The computation of this amount is governed by a tax sharing agreement entered into in connection with the spin off. The Company and Sara Lee have had differing interpretations of the tax sharing agreement, and, in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of the agreement, the Company and Sara Lee submitted that dispute to arbitration before a three-member tribunal in August 2009. A hearing was held in August 2010. Based on the Company’s computation of the final amount of deferred taxes for the Company’s opening balance sheet as of September 6, 2006, the amount that the Company expected to collect from Sara Lee based on the Company’s computation of $72,223, which reflects a preliminary cash installment received from Sara Lee of $18,000, was included as a receivable in “Other current assets.”

On July 1, 2011, the tribunal issued a 2-1 decision in which the majority disagreed with the Company’s interpretation of the tax sharing agreement and awarded the Company $3,291, plus interest based on the majority’s interpretation of the tax sharing agreement. This amount reflects other payments made or acknowledged to be owed by the parties under the tax sharing agreement. As a result of the tribunal’s decision, during the second quarter of 2011 the Company recorded a non-cash transaction that reduced “Other current assets” and “Additional paid-in capital” by $68,523.

Under section 2.12 of the tax sharing agreement with Sara Lee discussed above, in 2010, the Company recorded a liability of approximately $15,000 to Sara Lee for amounts related to income generated prior to the spin off from Sara Lee which were repatriated in periods since the spin off. The liability is included in “Accounts payable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 1, 2011 and January 1, 2011 with the resulting offset recorded as a reduction to “Additional paid-in capital.” Except for the amounts reflected in this Note 10, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, there are no material amounts owed to or from Sara Lee under the tax sharing agreement.

 

(11) Business Segment Information

The Company’s operations are managed and reported in five operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Outerwear, Hosiery, Direct to Consumer and International. These segments are organized principally by product category, geographic location and distribution channel. Each segment has its own management that is responsible for the operations of the segment’s businesses but the segments share a common supply chain and media and marketing platforms.

The types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues are as follows:

 

   

Innerwear sells basic branded products that are replenishment in nature under the product categories of women’s intimate apparel, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear and socks.

 

   

Outerwear sells basic branded products that are primarily seasonal in nature under the product categories of casualwear and activewear, as well as licensed logo apparel in collegiate bookstores and other channels.

 

   

Hosiery sells products in categories such as pantyhose, knee highs and tights.

 

   

Direct to Consumer includes the Company’s value-based (“outlet”) stores and Internet operations which sell products from the Company’s portfolio of leading brands. The Company’s Internet operations are supported by its catalogs.

 

   

International primarily relates to the Latin America, Asia, Canada, Europe and Australia geographic locations which sell products that span across the Innerwear, Outerwear and Hosiery reportable segments.

The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon segment operating profit, which is defined as operating profit before general corporate expenses and amortization of trademarks and other identifiable intangibles. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011. Certain prior year segment operating profit disclosures have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. These changes were primarily the result of the Company’s decision to cease allocating certain compensation related expenses to the segments.

(12) Consolidating Financial Information

In accordance with the indenture governing the Company’s $500,000 Floating Rate Senior Notes issued on December 14, 2006, the indenture governing the Company’s $500,000 8% Senior Notes issued on December 10, 2009 and the indenture governing the Company’s $1,000,000 6.375% Senior Notes issued on November 9, 2010 (together, the “Indentures”), certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Floating Rate Senior Notes, the 8% Senior Notes and the 6.375% Senior Notes, respectively. The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:

(i) Parent Company, the issuer of the guaranteed obligations. Parent Company includes Hanesbrands Inc. and its 100% owned operating divisions which are not legal entities, and excludes its subsidiaries which are legal entities;

(ii) Guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as specified in the Indentures;

(iii) Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis;

(iv) Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among Parent Company, the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries, (b) eliminate intercompany profit in inventory, (c) eliminate the investments in our subsidiaries and (d) record consolidating entries; and

(v) Parent Company, on a consolidated basis.

The Floating Rate Senior Notes, the 8% Senior Notes and the 6.375% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each guarantor subsidiary, each of which is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by Hanesbrands Inc. A guarantor subsidiary’s guarantee can be released in certain customary circumstances. Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use by the Parent Company and guarantor subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, or MD&A, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended January 1, 2011, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods, and our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those included in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We are a consumer goods company with a portfolio of leading apparel brands, including Hanes, Champion, Playtex, Bali, L’eggs, Just My Size, barely there, Wonderbra, Stedman, Outer Banks, Zorba, Rinbros, Duofold and Gear for Sports. We design, manufacture, source and sell a broad range of basic apparel such as T-shirts, bras, panties, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, casualwear, activewear, socks and hosiery.

Our operations are managed and reported in five operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Outerwear, Hosiery, Direct to Consumer and International. These segments are organized principally by product category, geographic location and distribution channel. Each segment has its own management that is responsible for the operations of the segment’s businesses but the segments share a common supply chain and media and marketing platforms. Certain prior year segment operating profit disclosures have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. These changes were primarily the result of our decision to cease allocating certain compensation related expenses to the segments.

Seasonality and Other Factors

Our operating results are subject to some variability due to seasonality and other factors. Generally, our diverse range of product offerings helps mitigate the impact of seasonal changes in demand for certain items. Sales are typically higher in the last two quarters (July to December) of each fiscal year. Socks, hosiery and fleece products generally have higher sales during this period as a result of cooler weather, back-to-school shopping and holidays. Sales levels in any period are also impacted by customers’ decisions to increase or decrease their inventory levels in response to anticipated consumer demand. Our customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice to us. Media, advertising and promotion expenses may vary from period to period during a fiscal year depending on the timing of our advertising campaigns for retail selling seasons and product introductions.

Although the majority of our products are replenishment in nature and tend to be purchased by consumers on a planned, rather than on an impulse, basis, our sales are impacted by discretionary spending by consumers. Discretionary spending is affected by many factors, including, among others, general business conditions, interest rates, inflation, consumer debt levels, the availability of consumer credit, currency exchange rates, taxation, electricity power rates, gasoline prices, unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending. Many of these factors are outside our control. Consumers’ purchases of discretionary items, including our products, could decline during periods when disposable income is lower, when prices increase in response to rising costs, or in periods of actual or perceived unfavorable economic conditions. These consumers may choose to purchase fewer of our products or to purchase lower-priced products of our competitors in response to higher prices for our products, or may choose not to purchase our products at prices that reflect our price increases that become effective from time to time.

Outlook for 2011

We expect net sales of $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2011, or $4.7 billion to $4.8 billion for the full year of 2011. Our expectations for net sales reflect a cautious outlook for the fourth quarter.

Because of systemic cost inflation in 2011 as described below, particularly for cotton, energy and labor, we have taken price increases as warranted by cost inflation. The timing, magnitude and frequency of price increases have varied by product category, channel of trade, and country, with some increases as frequently as quarterly. Demand elasticity effects have been factored into our net sales projections for the fourth quarter and full year of 2011.

For 2011, we believe we know the majority of our costs, with cotton prices locked in for the full year. Our current 2011 earnings expectations assume we will realize efficiency savings from our supply chain optimization of approximately $40 million to $45 million in 2011, of which $34 million has already been realized in the nine months of 2011. Our expectations also assume that we will eliminate the majority of excess 2010 freight and other distribution costs related to servicing sales growth of approximately $30 million to $35 million, of which $8 million was eliminated in the third quarter and approximately $25 million to $30 million is expected to be eliminated in the fourth quarter of 2011. Approximately two-thirds of the eliminated excess costs will come from gross profit and one-third will come from selling, general and administrative expenses. Our earnings expectations also assume continued investment in trade and media spending consistent with our historical rate, slightly higher interest expense, and a higher full-year tax rate that could range from a percentage in the teens to the low 20s.

As a result of the cost inflation and higher product pricing, we expect a negative impact on our cash flow from higher working capital, in particular higher accounts receivable and inventories, partially offset by higher accounts payable. We typically use cash for the first half of the year and generate most of our cash flow in the second half of the year.

Year-end 2011 inventory is expected to be approximately $250 million to $300 million higher than year-end 2010 as a result of high inflationary costs.

Business and Industry Trends

Inflation and Changing Prices

The economic environment in which we are operating continues to be uncertain and volatile, which could have unanticipated adverse effects on our business during the remainder of 2011 and beyond. We have seen a sustained increase in various input costs, such as cotton and oil-related materials, utilities, freight and wages, which have impacted our results in 2011 and will continue to do so through at least the first half of 2012. The estimated impact of cost inflation could be approximately $270 million to $280 million higher in 2011 over 2010.

Although nearly 40% of our business, such as bras, sheer hosiery and portions of our activewear categories, is not cotton-based, and we have sold our yarn operations, we are still exposed to fluctuations in the cost of cotton. Rising demand for cotton resulting from the economic recovery, weather-related supply disruptions, significant declines in U.S. inventory and a sharp rise in the futures market for cotton caused cotton prices to surge upward during 2010 and early 2011. During 2010, cotton prices hit their highest levels in 140 years. Increases in the cost of cotton can result in higher costs in the price we pay for yarn from our large-scale yarn suppliers. Our costs for cotton yarn and cotton-based textiles vary based upon the fluctuating cost of cotton, which is affected by, among other factors, weather, consumer demand, speculation on the commodities market, the relative valuations and fluctuations of the currencies of producer versus consumer countries and other factors that are generally unpredictable and beyond our control. We are able to lock in the cost of cotton reflected in the price we pay for yarn from our primary yarn suppliers in an attempt to protect our business from the volatility of the market price of cotton. However, our business can be affected by dramatic movements in cotton prices. The nine months of 2011 reflect an average cost of cotton of 88 cents per pound. After taking into consideration the cotton costs currently included in our finished goods inventory and cotton prices we have locked in, we expect the average cost of cotton will exceed $1.00 per pound for the full year, which will have a negative impact of approximately $140 million to $145 million when compared to 2010. These amounts do not include the impact of cotton costs on the cost of sourced goods.

Inflation can have a long-term impact on us because increasing costs of materials and labor may impact our ability to maintain satisfactory margins. For example, the cost of the materials that are used in our manufacturing process, such as oil-related commodities and other raw materials, such as dyes and chemicals, and other costs, such as fuel, energy and utility costs, can fluctuate as a result of inflation and other factors. Costs incurred for materials and labor are capitalized into inventory and impact our results as the inventory is sold. In addition, a significant portion of our products are manufactured in countries other than the United States and declines in the value of the U.S. dollar may result in higher manufacturing costs. Increases in inflation may not be matched by rises in consumer income, which also could have a negative impact on spending.

Given the systemic cost inflation that the apparel industry is currently experiencing, many apparel retailers and manufacturers implemented price increases in 2011 in order to maintain satisfactory margins. Higher raw material costs, including cotton, and higher labor costs overseas are the primary reasons that price increases are needed to manage the inflated costs. If we incur increased costs for materials, including cotton, and labor that we are unable to recoup through price increases or improved efficiencies, or if consumer spending declines, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be adversely affected.

Other Business and Industry Trends

The basic apparel market is highly competitive and evolving rapidly. Competition is generally based upon brand name recognition, price, product quality, selection, service and purchasing convenience. The majority of our core styles continue from year to year, with variations only in color, fabric or design details. Some products, however, such as intimate apparel, activewear and sheer hosiery, do have more of an emphasis on style and innovation. Our businesses face competition from other large corporations and foreign manufacturers, as well as smaller companies, department stores, specialty stores and other retailers that market and sell basic apparel products under private labels that compete directly with our brands.

Anticipating changes in and managing our operations in response to consumer preferences remains an important element of our business. In recent years, we have experienced changes in our net sales and cash flows in accordance with changes in consumer preferences and trends. For example, we expect the trend of declining hosiery sales to continue consistent with the overall decline in the industry and with shifts in consumer preferences. The Hosiery segment only comprised 4% of our net sales in 2010 however, and as a result, the decline in the Hosiery segment has not had a significant impact on our net sales, revenues or cash flows. Generally, we manage the Hosiery segment for cash, placing an emphasis on reducing our cost structure and managing cash efficiently.

Economic Trends and other Developments that Impact our Business

We are operating in an uncertain and volatile economic environment, which could have unanticipated adverse effects on our business. We have experienced substantial pressure on profitability due to the economic climate, such as higher cotton, energy and labor costs. Rising demand for cotton resulting from the economic recovery, weather-related supply disruptions, significant declines in U.S. inventory and a sharp rise in the futures market for cotton caused cotton prices to surge upward in 2010 and early 2011. Because of systemic cost inflation in 2011, particularly for cotton, energy and labor, we have taken price increases as warranted by cost inflation. The timing, magnitude and frequency of price increases have varied by product category, channel of trade, and country, with some increases as frequently as quarterly.

Net sales

   $ 1,230,185      $ 1,173,362      $ 56,823        4.8 

Consolidated net sales were higher by $57 million or 5% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. The third quarter of 2011 is our seventh consecutive quarter of growth. The net sales growth reflects net price increases, incremental net sales from Gear for Sports, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2010, and a favorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by lower unit sales volume in most categories.

Our three largest segments, Innerwear, Outerwear and International, demonstrated growth in net sales, with Outerwear and International delivering double digit sales growth. Outerwear, International and Innerwear segment net sales were higher by $43 million (11%), $16 million (12%) and $3 million (1%), respectively. Hosiery and Direct to Consumer segment net sales were lower by $3 million (8%) and $3 million (3%), respectively.

Gross profit

   $ 425,443      $ 363,875      $ 61,568        16.9 

As a percent of net sales, our gross profit was 34.6% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 31.0% in the third quarter of 2010. Our gross profit was higher by $62 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. The higher gross profit was primarily attributable to higher gross profit of $29 million from the Outerwear segment, of which $27 million was attributable to Gear for Sports, $28 million from the Innerwear segment and $8 million from the International segment, partially offset by lower gross profit of $3 million from the Hosiery segment and slightly lower gross profit from the Direct to Consumer segment. General corporate expenses within gross profit, which are not allocated to segments, were slightly higher in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Our results in the third quarter of 2011 benefited primarily from net price increases of $115 million, which includes the impact of lower sales incentives of $3 million, favorable product sales mix of $18 million, efficiency savings from our supply chain optimization of $11 million, a favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates of $3 million and lower start-up and shut-down costs of $2 million and were negatively impacted by higher input costs of $56 million, particularly cotton and energy and oil-related materials, lower sales volumes of $29 million and higher other manufacturing costs of $2 million, which is net of the elimination of $6 million of excess 2010 costs related to servicing sales growth.

The average cotton price reflected in our results was 97 cents per pound in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 72 cents per pound in the third quarter of 2010. After taking into consideration the cotton costs currently included in our finished goods inventory and cotton prices we have locked in, we expect the average cost of cotton will exceed $1.00 per pound for the full year. These amounts do not include the impact of cotton costs on the cost of sourced goods. While cotton prices have declined in recent months, we will continue to have higher prices for cotton and oil-related materials reflected in our cost of sales, which will impact our results for the remainder of 2011 and the first half of 2012.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $23 million higher in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. As a percent of net sales our selling, general and administrative expenses were 22.2% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 21.3% in the third quarter of 2010. Outerwear, International and Innerwear segment selling, general and administrative expenses were higher by $12 million, $9 million and $4 million, respectively, and Direct to Consumer and Hosiery segment selling, general and administrative expenses were lower by $2 million and $1 million, respectively. General corporate expenses within selling, general and administrative expenses, which are not allocated to segments, were flat in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010.

The higher selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily attributable to higher selling and other marketing expenses of $11 million, incremental administrative costs of $3 million attributable to Gear for Sports, higher media related media, advertising and promotion (“MAP”) expenses of $2 million, higher stock compensation and certain other benefit costs of $2 million, higher distribution expenses of $2 million, which is net of the elimination of $2 million of excess 2010 costs related to servicing sales growth, and higher expenses as a result of opening new retail stores or expanding existing stores of $2 million.

A significant portion of the selling, general and administrative expenses in each segment is an allocation of our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, however certain expenses that are specifically identifiable to a segment are charged directly to such segment. Certain prior year segment selling, general and administrative expenses have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. These changes were primarily the result of our decision to cease allocating certain compensation related expenses to the segments. Other than this change, the allocation methodology for the consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2011 was consistent with the third quarter of 2010. Our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses before segment allocations were $23 million higher in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Table of Contents

Net sales in the male underwear product category were 10% or $22 million higher in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to net price increases, partially offset by lower unit sales volume.

Higher net sales of $3 million or 4% in our socks product category reflect higher Hanes brand net sales of $5 million, partially offset by lower Champion brand net sales of $3 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. The higher Hanes brand net sales were primarily due to net price increases, partially offset by lower unit sales volume, and the lower Champion brand net sales were primarily attributable to the loss of a seasonal program.

Intimate apparel net sales were $22 million or 10% lower in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. Our panties and bra product category net sales were both lower by $11 million, primarily due to lower unit sales volume resulting from a softness in the intimate apparel category, partially offset by net price increases.

Innerwear segment gross profit was higher by $28 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. The higher gross profit was primarily due to higher net product pricing of $67 million, which includes the impact of higher sales incentives of $2 million, efficiency savings related to our supply chain optimization of $6 million, favorable product sales mix of $3 million, lower excess and obsolete inventory costs of $2 million and lower other manufacturing costs of $2 million. The lower other manufacturing costs of $2 million includes the elimination of $6 million of excess 2010 costs related to servicing sales growth. These factors were offset by $29 million of higher input costs such as cotton costs related to finished goods manufactured internally in our facilities, vendor prices, wages and energy and oil-related materials and lower sales volume of $25 million.

Innerwear segment operating profit was higher in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of higher gross profit, partially offset by higher distribution expenses of $2 million related to higher costs to implement our price increases partially offset by the elimination of excess 2010 costs related to servicing sales growth.

Outerwear segment net sales were higher by $43 million or 11% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. Outerwear’s segment net sales include the impact of Gear for Sports, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2010 and contributed $83 million or 21 percentage points of the segment’s net sales growth and $27 million of gross profit for the third quarter of 2011. The Gear for Sports business includes sales of licensed logo apparel in collegiate bookstores and other channels.

Our Champion brand activewear net sales were lower by $7 million or 4% due to lower shipments to the wholesale club channel, partially offset by higher unit sales volume.

Our casualwear category net sales were lower in the retail channel by $26 million and in the wholesale channel by $6 million. The lower net sales in the retail casualwear channel were primarily attributable to a retailer’s decision to focus our Just My Size brand toward more core basics versus a mix with fashion-oriented lines, partially offset by net price increases. The lower net sales in the wholesale casualwear channel of 7% were primarily due to lower unit sales volume, partially offset by net price increases.

Outerwear segment gross profit was higher by $29 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. The higher gross profit was primarily due to higher net product pricing of $29 million, which includes the impact of lower sales incentives of $4 million, favorable product sales mix of $22 million, efficiency

savings related to our supply chain optimization of $4 million and higher sales volume of $3 million. These lower costs were partially offset by $23 million of higher input costs such as cotton costs related to finished goods manufactured internally in our facilities, vendor prices, wages and energy and oil-related materials, higher excess and obsolete inventory costs of $3 million and higher other manufacturing costs of $2 million.

Outerwear segment operating profit was higher in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of higher gross profit, partially offset by higher selling and other marketing expenses of $8 million and incremental administrative costs of $3 million attributable to Gear for Sports. The higher selling and other marketing expenses were primarily due to incremental costs resulting from the acquisition of Gear for Sports.

Net sales in the Hosiery segment were lower by $3 million or 8%, which was primarily due to lower net sales of our Hanes brand in the national chain and mass merchant channels and lower net sales of our L’eggs brand to mass retailers and food and drug stores. The hosiery category has been in a state of consistent decline for the past decade, as the trend toward casual dress reduced demand for sheer hosiery. Generally, we manage the Hosiery segment for cash, placing an emphasis on reducing our cost structure and managing cash efficiently.

Hosiery segment gross profit was lower by $3 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. The lower gross profit was primarily the result of lower sales volume of $2 million.

Direct to Consumer segment net sales were lower by $3 million or 3% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 due to lower net sales related to our Internet operations of $3 million. Net sales in our outlet stores were slightly higher in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. Comparable store sales were flat in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Direct to Consumer segment gross profit was slightly lower in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 primarily due to higher net product pricing of $4 million, offset by lower sales volume of $4 million.

Direct to Consumer segment operating profit was higher in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of lower non-media MAP expenses of $3 million, partially offset by higher expenses of $2 million as a result of opening new retail stores or expanding existing stores.

Overall net sales in the International segment were higher by $16 million or 12% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010, primarily as a result of sales growth in Asia, Latin America and Australia, reflecting net price increases, space gains and a favorable impact of $8 million related to foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates on currency, International segment net sales were higher by 6% in third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. The favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates in our International segment was primarily due to the strengthening of the Japanese yen, Canadian dollar and Brazilian real compared to the U.S. dollar.

During the third quarter of 2011, we experienced higher net sales, in each case excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, in our activewear and intimate apparel businesses in Asia of $7 million, in our male underwear and intimate apparel businesses in Latin America of $6 million and in our activewear business in Australia of $5 million, which benefited from the acquisition of the assets of the TNF Group Unit Trust from TNF Group Pty Ltd, as trustee, and of Player Sportswear Unit Trust from Player Sportswear Pty Ltd, as trustee (collectively, “TNF”) in April 2011, partially offset by lower net sales in our intimate apparel business in Canada of $7 million and in our casualwear business in Europe of $2 million. In certain international markets we are focusing on adopting global designs for some product categories to quickly launch new styles to expand our market position. The higher net sales reflect our successful efforts to improve our strong positions.

International segment gross profit was higher by $8 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. The higher gross profit was primarily a result of higher net product pricing of $14 million, which includes the impact of lower sales incentives of $1 million and a favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates of $3 million, partially offset by lower sales volume of $3 million, unfavorable product sales mix of $3 million and vendor price increases of $2 million.

International segment operating profit was slightly lower in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010, which was primarily attributable to higher selling and other marketing expenses of $3 million, higher distribution expenses of $2 million, higher media related MAP expenses of $1 million and higher non-media related MAP expenses of $1 million, partially offset by higher gross profit. The higher selling and marketing expenses were primarily due to incremental costs resulting from the acquisition of the assets of TNF and costs associated with the growth of our business in China. The changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which are included in the impact on gross profit above, had a favorable impact on operating profit of $1 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010.

General Corporate Expenses

General corporate expenses were flat in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 primarily due to lower start-up and shut-down costs of $2 million associated with the consolidation and globalization of our supply chain, offset by higher stock compensation and certain other benefit costs of $2 million.

Net sales

   $ 3,491,828      $ 3,177,054      $ 314,774        9.9 

Consolidated net sales were higher by $315 million or 10% in the nine months of 2011 compared to 2010. The net sales growth reflects net price increases, incremental net sales from Gear for Sports and a favorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by lower unit sales volume in most categories.

Our three largest segments, Innerwear, Outerwear and International, demonstrated growth in net sales, with Outerwear and International delivering high double digit sales growth. Outerwear, International and Innerwear segment net sales were higher by $200 million (22%), $71 million (20%) and $49 million (3%), respectively. Hosiery and Direct to Consumer segment net sales were lower by $4 million (4%) and $1 million (< 1%).

Gross profit

   $ 1,207,208      $ 1,066,111      $ 141,097        13.2 

As a percent of net sales, our gross profit was 34.6% in the nine months of 2011 compared to 33.6% in the nine months of 2010. Our gross profit was higher by $141 million in the nine months of 2011 compared to 2010. The higher gross profit was primarily attributable to higher gross profit of $90 million from the Outerwear segment, of which $65 million was attributable to Gear for Sports, $31 million from the International segment, $21 million from the Innerwear segment and $1 million from the Direct to Consumer segment, partially offset by lower gross profit of $9 million from the Hosiery segment. General corporate expenses within gross profit, which are not allocated to segments, were $6 million lower in the nine months of 2011 compared to 2010.

Our results in the nine months of 2011 benefited primarily from net price increases of $206 million, which is net of the impact of higher sales incentives of $34 million, efficiency savings from our supply chain optimization of $34 million, higher sales volumes of $28 million, favorable product sales mix of $22 million, a favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates of $11 million, receipt of a one-time termination fee

of $5 million related to a royalty license agreement and lower start-up and shut-down costs of $5 million and were negatively impacted by higher input costs of $142 million, particularly cotton and energy and oil-related materials, higher other manufacturing costs of $20 million, which is net of the elimination of $3 million of excess 2010 costs related to servicing sales growth, and higher excess and obsolete inventory costs of $7 million.

The average cotton price reflected in our results was 88 cents per pound in the nine months of 2011 compared to 62 cents per pound in the nine months of 2010. After taking into consideration the cotton costs currently included in our finished goods inventory and cotton prices we have locked in, we expect the average cost of cotton will exceed $1.00 per pound for the full year. These amounts do not include the impact of cotton costs on the cost of sourced goods. While cotton prices have declined in recent months, we will continue to have higher prices for cotton and oil-related materials reflected in our cost of sales, which will impact our results for the remainder of 2011 and the first half of 2012.

As a percent of net sales our selling, general and administrative expenses were 23.0% in the nine months of 2011 compared to 23.4% in 2010. Outerwear, International and Innerwear segment selling, general and administrative expenses were higher by $34 million, $19 million and $16 million, respectively, and Hosiery and Direct to Consumer segment selling, general and administrative expenses were lower by $4 million and $2 million, respectively. General corporate expenses within selling, general and administrative expenses, which are not allocated to segments, were $5 million lower in the nine months of 2011 compared to 2010.

The higher selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily attributable to higher selling and other marketing expenses of $32 million, higher distribution expenses of $14 million, which is net of the elimination of $5 million of excess 2010 costs related to servicing sales growth, incremental administrative costs of $7 million attributable to Gear for Sports, higher expenses of $5 million as a result of opening new retail stores or expanding existing stores and higher media related MAP expenses of $4 million, partially offset by lower pension expense of $3 million.

During the nine months of 2011, we incurred charges of $2 million for funding fees associated with the sales of certain trade accounts receivable to financial institutions.

During the nine months of 2010, we wrote off unamortized debt issuance costs and incurred charges for funding fees associated with the sales of certain trade accounts receivable to financial institutions, which combined totaled $5 million. The write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs resulted from the repayment of $57 million of principal under the senior secured credit facility that we entered into in 2006 and amended and restated in 2009 (as amended and restated, the “2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility”) and from the reduction in borrowing capacity available under the accounts receivable securitization facility that we entered into in November 2007 (the “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility”) from $250 million to $150 million that we effected in recognition of our lower trade accounts receivable balance resulting from the sales of certain trade accounts receivable to a financial institution outside the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility.

Interest expense, net

   $ 118,545      $ 110,394      $ 8,151        7.4 

Interest expense, net was higher by $8 million in the nine months of 2011 compared to 2010. The higher interest expense was primarily attributable to higher outstanding debt balances that increased interest expense by $12 million. In addition, the refinancing of our debt structure in November 2010, which included the sale of our $1 billion 6.375% Senior Notes, and the amendment of the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility in February 2011, together with a higher LIBOR, combined caused a net decrease in interest expense in the nine months of 2011 of $4 million.

Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 5.62% during the nine months of 2011 compared to 5.71% in the nine months of 2010.

Our effective income tax rate was 20% in the nine months of 2011 compared to 12% in the nine months of 2010. The higher effective income tax rate for the nine months of 2011 compared to the nine months of 2010 was primarily attributable to a one-time benefit of $20 million in the nine months of 2010 resulting from the finalization of tax reviews and audits for amounts that were less than originally anticipated. This non-recurring income tax benefit was partially offset by a higher proportion of our earnings attributed to foreign subsidiaries than in the nine months of 2010, which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate.

Net income for the nine months of 2011 was higher than the nine months of 2010 primarily due to higher operating profit of $80 million and lower other expenses of $3 million, partially offset by higher income tax expense of $33 million and higher interest expense of $8 million.
