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, information appearing under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” includes 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 2, 2010, 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 2, 2010, 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.
 
WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
 
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.
 
We make available free of charge at www.hanesbrands.com (in the “Investors” section) copies of materials we file with, or furnish to, the SEC. By referring to our website, www.hanesbrands.com, we do not incorporate our website or its contents into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(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.
 
To reflect a change previously made in the classification of freight expenses payable, a revision to the nine months ended October 3, 2009 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was made to reclassify changes in cash related to these payables from Accrued Liabilities and Other to Accounts Payable. This reclassification had no impact on the Company’s previously reported total net cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.
 
(2)   Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting rules for transfers of financial assets. The new rules require greater transparency and additional disclosures for transfers of financial assets and the entity’s continuing involvement with them and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new accounting rules are effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of these new rules did not have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
Consolidation — Variable Interest Entities
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities. The new accounting rules are effective for the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of these new rules did not have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
Fair Value Disclosures
 
In January 2010, 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 are effective for the Company’s first interim fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the disclosures effective for the Company’s first interim fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2009 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.
 
(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 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009. 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 for the quarters and nine months ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009 is as follows:
 
                                 
    Quarter Ended     Nine Months Ended  
    October 2,
    October 3,
    October 2,
    October 3,
 
    2010     2009     2010     2009  
 
Basic weighted average shares
    96,496       95,247       96,417       94,880  
Effect of potentially dilutive securities:
                               
Stock options
    664       205       781        
Restricted stock units
    589       970       591       589  
Employee stock purchase plan and other
    3             1        
                                 
Diluted weighted average shares
    97,752       96,422       97,790       95,469  
                                 
 
For the quarters ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, options to purchase 606 and 4,612 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 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, 0 and 43 restricted stock units, respectively, and options to purchase 606 and 5,871 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Charges to the allowance for doubtful accounts are reflected in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line and charges to the allowance for customer chargebacks and other customer deductions are primarily reflected as a reduction in the “Net sales” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. 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
 
In March 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to sell selected trade accounts receivable to a financial institution. After the sale, the Company does not retain any interests in the receivables and the financial institution services and collects these accounts receivable directly from the customer. Net proceeds of this accounts receivable sale program are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as part of operating cash flows. The funding fees charged for this program are recorded in the “Other expenses” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
 
During the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2010, the Company recognized funding fees of $1,094 and $2,557, respectively, for sales of accounts receivable to financial institutions in the “Other expenses” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

As of October 2, 2010, the Company had $190,000 outstanding under the $600,000 revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) under the senior secured credit facility that the Company entered into in 2006 (the “2006 Senior Secured Credit Facility”) and amended and restated in December 2009 (as amended and restated, the “2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility”), $17,046 of standby and trade letters of credit issued and outstanding under this facility and $392,954 of borrowing availability.
 
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010, the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility permits the Company, at its option, to add one or more term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the Revolving Loan Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $300,000 so long as certain conditions are satisfied, including, among others, that no default or event of default is in existence and that the Company is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants in the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility. In order to support its working capital needs and fund an acquisition, on September 1, 2010, as permitted by the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company increased the commitments under the Revolving Loan Facility by an aggregate amount of $200,000, increasing the borrowing availability under the Revolving Loan Facility from $400,000 to $600,000. During the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2010, the Company incurred $1,688 in capitalized debt issuance costs in connection with increasing the borrowing availability under the Revolving Loan Facility. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt instrument.
 
On January 29, 2010, in recognition of the lower trade accounts receivable balance resulting from the sale by the Company of certain trade accounts receivable to a financial institution outside the accounts receivable securitization facility that the Company entered into in November 2007 (the “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility”), HBI Receivables LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary that is a party to such facility, gave notice to the agent and the managing agents under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility that, as permitted by the terms of such facility, effective February 11, 2010, the amount of funding available under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility was being reduced from $250,000 to $150,000. During the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2010, the Company recognized $0 and $686, respectively, of a write-off on early extinguishment of debt related to unamortized debt issuance costs on the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility as a result of the reduction in borrowing capacity.
 
During the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2010, the Company recognized $0 and $1,654, respectively, of a write-off on early extinguishment of debt related to unamortized debt issuance costs on the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility as a result of the prepayment of $57,188 of principal in April 2010. The Company also recognized $0 and $231 in additional charges related to the amendments of credit facilities in

2009 during the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2010, respectively. These charges are reflected in the “Other expenses” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
 
During the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2009, the Company recognized $2,423 of a write-off on early extinguishment of debt related to unamortized debt issuance costs on the 2006 Senior Secured Credit Facility as a result of the prepayment of $140,250 of principal in September 2009. This loss is reflected in the “Other expenses” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
 
During the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2009, the Company recognized charges of $0 and $4,114, respectively, in the “Other expenses” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, which represent certain costs related to amendments of the 2006 Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility.
 
As of October 2, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all 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.

(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
 
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 2, 2010, 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 is $12,550 and $38,501, 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 the quarter ended April 3, 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 Company’s $500,000 Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 (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 2, 2010, the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies in the Company’s foreign currency cash flow hedge derivative portfolio was $53,752, using the exchange rate at that 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. 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. The effective portion of commodity 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 commodity hedge derivative contracts related to the purchase of inventory is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as cash flow from operating activities. There were no amounts outstanding under cotton futures or cotton option contracts at October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010.

(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 2, 2010, 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 2, 2010 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 2, 2010. As of October 2, 2010, the Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are 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 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010. The fair value of debt was $2,036,470 and $1,881,868 as of October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010 and had a carrying value of $2,021,672 and $1,892,235, 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 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010, primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

(10)   Income Taxes
 
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 20% and 12% for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2010, respectively, and 14% and 16% for the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2009, respectively.
 
The higher effective income tax rate of 20% for the quarter ended October 2, 2010 compared to 14% for the quarter ended October 3, 2009 was primarily attributable to a lower proportion of the Company’s earnings attributed to foreign subsidiaries in the quarter ended October 2, 2010 which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate. The lower effective income tax rate of 12% for the nine months ended October 2, 2010 compared to 16% for the nine months ended October 3, 2009 was primarily attributable to a discrete, non-recurring income tax benefit of approximately $20 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2010, partially offset by a lower proportion of the Company’s earnings attributed to foreign subsidiaries in the quarter ended October 2, 2010 which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate. The income tax benefit resulted from a change in estimate associated with the remeasurement of unrecognized tax benefit accruals and the determination that certain tax positions had been effectively settled following the finalization of tax reviews and audits for amounts that were less than originally anticipated.
 
The Company and Sara Lee Corporation (“Sara Lee”) entered into a tax sharing agreement in connection with the spin off of the Company from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006. Under the tax sharing agreement, within 180 days after Sara Lee filed its final consolidated tax return for the period that included September 5, 2006, Sara Lee was required to deliver to the Company a computation of the amount of deferred taxes attributable to the Company’s United States and Canadian operations that would be included on the Company’s opening balance sheet as of September 6, 2006 (“as finally determined”) which has been done. The Company has the right to participate in the computation of the amount of deferred taxes. Under the tax sharing agreement, if substituting the amount of deferred taxes as finally determined for the amount of estimated deferred taxes that were included on that balance sheet at the time of the spin off causes a decrease in the net

book value reflected on that balance sheet, then Sara Lee will be required to pay the Company the amount of such decrease. If such substitution causes an increase in the net book value reflected on that balance sheet, then the Company will be required to pay Sara Lee the amount of such increase. For purposes of this computation, the Company’s deferred taxes are the amount of deferred tax benefits (including deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and carryforwards) that would be recognized as assets on the Company’s balance sheet computed in accordance with GAAP, but without regard to valuation allowances, less the amount of deferred tax liabilities (including deferred tax consequences attributable to taxable temporary differences) that would be recognized as liabilities on the Company’s opening balance sheet computed in accordance with GAAP, but without regard to valuation allowances. Neither the Company nor Sara Lee will be required to make any other payments to the other with respect to deferred taxes.
 
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 is expected to be collected 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, is included as a receivable in “Deferred tax assets and other current assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010. The Company and Sara Lee have exchanged information in connection with this matter, but Sara Lee has disagreed with the Company’s computation. In accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of the tax sharing agreement, in August 2009, the Company submitted the dispute to binding arbitration. The arbitration process is ongoing, and the Company will continue to prosecute its claim. The Company does not believe that the resolution of this dispute will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
(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. In October 2009, the Company completed the sale of its yarn operations and, as a result, the Company no longer has net sales in the Other segment, which was primarily comprised of sales of yarn to third parties.
 
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.
 
  •  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 South America 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, amortization of trademarks and other

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 2, 2010.

(12)   Consolidating Financial Information
 
In accordance with the indenture governing the Floating Rate Senior Notes and the indenture governing the Company’s $500,000 8.000% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “8% Senior Notes”) (together, the “Indentures”), certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Floating Rate Senior Notes and the 8% 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 and the 8% 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. Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010, 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.

Hemisphere and Asia. With its global supply chain infrastructure substantially in place, the Company is now focused on optimizing its supply chain to further enhance efficiency, improve working capital and asset turns and reduce costs. The Company is focused on optimizing the working capital needs of its supply chain through several initiatives, such as supplier-managed inventory for raw materials and sourced goods ownership arrangements. The consolidation of the Company’s distribution network is still in process but is not expected to result in any substantial charges in future periods. The distribution network consolidation involves the implementation of new warehouse management systems and technology, and opening of new distribution centers and new third-party logistics providers to replace parts of the Company’s legacy distribution network.
 
The reported results for the quarters and nine months ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009 reflect amounts recognized for restructuring actions, including the impact of certain actions that were completed for amounts more favorable than previously estimated. The impact of restructuring efforts on income before income tax expense is summarized as follows:

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 2, 2010, 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 and Duofold. We design, manufacture, source and sell a broad range of apparel essentials 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. In October 2009, we completed the sale of our yarn operations and, as a result, we no longer have net sales in the Other segment, which was primarily comprised of sales of yarn to third parties.
 
Seasonality
 
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.
 
Outlook
 
We have built a powerful three-plank growth platform designed to use big brands to increase sales domestically and internationally, use a low-cost worldwide supply chain to expand margins, and use strong cash flow to support multiple strategies to create value.
 
The first plank of our growth platform is the size and power of our brands. We have made significant investment in our consumer insights capability, innovative product development, and marketing. We have very large U.S. share positions, with the No. 1 share in all our innerwear categories and strong positions in outerwear categories, but we have ample opportunities to further build share. Internationally, our commercial markets include Mexico, Canada, Japan, India, Brazil and China where a substantial amount of gross domestic product growth outside the United States will be concentrated over the next decade.
 
The second plank of our growth platform is the unique, low-cost global supply chain that we have just built. Our low-cost, high-scale supply chain spans both the Western and Eastern hemispheres and creates a competitive advantage for us around the globe. Our supply chain has generated significant cost savings, margin

expansion and contributions to cash flow and will continue to do so as we further optimize our size, scale and production capability. To support our growth, we have increased our production capacity. Our Nanjing textile facility started production in the fourth quarter of 2009 and we expect to ramp up production over the next year.
 
The third plank of our growth platform is our ability to consistently generate strong cash flow. We have the potential to increase cash flow, and our flexible long-term capital structure allows us to use cash in executing multiple strategies for earnings growth, including debt reduction and selective tactical acquisitions.
 
Based on strong performance in the first three quarters, we expect net sales growth of 8% to 10% in the full year 2010 which reflects net space and distribution gains, an overall increase in consumer spending, retailer inventory restocking and favorable foreign currency exchange rates. In an effort to further build market share growth we have invested in advertising and trade spending during 2010 and expect our media spending to be approximately $90 million for the full year.
 
During 2010, we expect our annual gross capital spending to be relatively comparable to our annual depreciation and amortization expense and should represent our last year of high gross capital spending. We expect net capital expenditures of approximately $60 to $70 million in the full year 2010 to support our expectation for increasing sales.
 
We are seeing a sustained increase in various input costs, such as cotton and oil-related materials, which will impact our results for the remainder of 2010 and in 2011. Rising demand for cotton resulting from the economic recovery, weather-related supply disruptions, and a sharp rise in the futures market for cotton have caused cotton prices to surge upward during 2010. After taking into consideration the cotton costs currently included in inventory, we expect the fourth quarter of 2010 should reflect an average cost of 79 cents per pound, a $26 million negative impact when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. We expect our cost of cotton to average 69 cents per pound for the full year of 2010 compared to 55 cents per pound for 2009 which will have a negative impact of approximately $33 million in 2010 compared to the full year of 2009. A substantial portion of our cotton costs are now fixed for the first three quarters of 2011, and we are gaining visibility for the rest of 2011. The first and second quarters of 2011 should reflect an average cost of 83 cents per pound, and the third quarter of 2011 should reflect an average cost of 88 cents per pound. We will lock in our cotton costs for the fourth quarter of 2011 later this year.
 
Because of systemic cost inflation, particularly for cotton, energy and labor, we have secured price increases to offset annualized input cost inflation and are working with our customers on joint efficiency initiatives. The timing and size of price increases will vary by product category and are expected to take effect no later than February 2011.

  •  On August 10, 2010, we announced that we had entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire GearCo, Inc., known as Gear For Sports, a leading seller of licensed logo apparel in collegiate bookstores. Gear For Sports, which sells embellished licensed apparel under several brand names, including our Champion label, had sales of approximately $225 million and an operating profit margin of more than 11% of sales in its fiscal year ended in June 2010. The Gear For Sports acquisition supports our strategy of creating stronger branded and defensible businesses in our Outerwear segment, which has included building our Champion activewear brand and increasing sales of higher-margin graphic apparel. We have significant growth synergies in both the collegiate bookstore channel and our existing retail channels and opportunities to take advantage of our low-cost global supply chain. After the acquisition, approximately 20% to 25% of the Outerwear Segment net sales will be graphic apparel. All necessary approvals, including those of both companies’ boards of directors and Gear For Sports investors, have been obtained, and the acquisition is expected to be completed in November 2010. The purchase price is $55 million in cash for shareholders’ equity plus payment at closing of approximately $170 million of debt of the privately held company.

Consolidated net sales were higher by $115 million or 11% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. The third quarter of 2010 is our third consecutive quarter of growth, reflecting significant space and distribution gains at retailers, positive retail sell-through and inventory restocking at retail. Our significant space and distribution gains at retailers contributed approximately 7% of sales growth, while approximately 4% of growth was driven by increased retail sell-through, retailer inventory restocking and foreign currency exchange rates. All three of our largest segments delivered double digit sales growth in the third quarter of 2010, with the Outerwear segment achieving nearly 20% sales growth.
 
Innerwear, Outerwear and International segment net sales were higher by $45 million (10%), $61 million (19%) and $16 million (13%), respectively, in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. Direct to Consumer segment net sales were slightly higher, while Hosiery and Other segment net sales were

lower by $4 million (9%) and $4 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009.
 
International segment net sales were higher by 13% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009, which reflected a favorable impact of $4 million related to foreign currency exchange rates due to the strengthening of the Japanese yen and Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro. International segment net sales were higher by 10% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 after excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates on currency.

Gross profit

As a percent of net sales, our gross profit was 31.0% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 33.7% in the third quarter of 2009. Our results in the third quarter of 2010 primarily benefited from higher sales volumes and savings from cost reduction initiatives and were negatively impacted by higher cotton and production costs.
 
Our gross profit was higher by $7 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 due primarily to higher sales volume of $53 million, savings from our prior restructuring actions of $6 million, lower start-up and shut-down costs of $5 million associated with the consolidation and globalization of our supply chain, vendor price reductions of $3 million and a $2 million favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates. The favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates in our International segment was primarily due to the strengthening of the Japanese yen and Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro.
 
Our gross profit was negatively impacted by higher sales incentives of $15 million, higher cotton costs of $14 million, higher production costs of $12 million related to higher non-customer related freight costs and energy and oil-related costs, higher other manufacturing costs of $8 million, lower product pricing of $7 million, primarily within the wholesale casualwear channel and an unfavorable product sales mix of $6 million. Our sales incentives were higher due to higher sales volumes and because we made significant investments to support retailers and position ourselves for future sales opportunities.
 
The cotton prices reflected in our results were 72 cents per pound in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 49 cents per pound in the third quarter of 2009. After taking into consideration the cotton costs currently included in inventory, we expect our cost of cotton to average 69 cents per pound for the full year of 2010 compared to 55 cents per pound for 2009. We continue to see higher prices for cotton and oil-related materials in the market, which will impact our results for the remainder of 2010 and in 2011. We are working with our customers to offset increases in costs through price increases and joint efficiency initiatives. The timing and size of price increases will vary by product category and are expected to take effect no later than February 2011.

We incurred higher distribution expenses of $6 million and higher selling and other marketing expenses of $3 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. The higher distribution expenses were primarily due to higher sales volumes and other incremental costs to service higher demand such as overtime and rework expenses in our distribution centers while the higher selling and other marketing expenses were primarily due to higher sales volumes.
 
Our media related media, advertising and promotion (“MAP”) expenses were lower by $5 million and our non-media related MAP expenses were higher by $3 million during the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. MAP 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.
 
We also incurred higher expenses of $1 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 as a result of opening new retail stores or expanding existing stores over the last 12 months. We opened one retail store during the third quarter of 2010.
 
These higher expenses were offset by lower stock compensation and certain other benefit expenses of $4 million and lower pension expense of $2 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009.
 
Changes due to foreign currency exchange rates, which are included in the impact of the changes discussed above, resulted in higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $1 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009.

prepayment of $140 million of principal under the senior secured credit facility that we entered into in 2006 (the “2006 Senior Secured Credit Facility”) and amended and restated in 2009 (as amended and restated, the “2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility”).

Interest expense, net was lower by $7 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. The lower interest expense was primarily attributable to lower outstanding debt balances that reduced interest expense by $4 million. In addition, the refinancing of our debt structure in December 2009, which included the amendment and restatement of the 2006 Senior Secured Credit Facility into the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility, the issuance of our $500 million 8.000% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “8% Senior Notes”) and the settlement of certain outstanding interest rate hedging instruments, combined with a lower London Interbank Offered Rate, or “LIBOR,” and federal funds rate, caused a net decrease in interest expense in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 of $3 million.
 
Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 6.21% during the third quarter of 2010 compared to 6.94% in the third quarter of 2009.

Our effective income tax rate was 20% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 14% in the third quarter of 2009. The higher effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 was primarily attributable to a lower proportion of our earnings attributed to foreign subsidiaries than in the third quarter of 2009 which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate.
 
Our effective tax rate reflects our strategic initiative to make capital investments outside the United States in our global supply chain in 2010.

The allocation methodology for the consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2010 was consistent with the third quarter of 2009. Our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses before segment allocations were $2 million higher in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009.

Overall net sales in the Innerwear segment were higher by $45 million or 10% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009, primarily due to space and distribution gains, stronger sales at retail and retailer inventory restocking. We are driving the growth in our Innerwear segment by leveraging our scale and consumer insight to gain new space and distribution. Our strong brands across all distribution channels and our innovation processes allow us to take advantage of long-term consumer trends.
 
Net sales in our Hanes brand male underwear product category were 18% or $31 million higher in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009, primarily due to distribution gains related to a new customer in the discount retail channel, space gains in the mass merchant and department store channels and increased retail sell-through. The higher Hanes brand male underwear net sales reflect growth in key segments of this category such as crewneck and V-neck T-shirts and boxer briefs. Our male underwear product category continues to benefit from the increased media support for our Hanes brand and from our identification of key long-term megatrends such as comfort and dyed and color products. We have developed innovations to capitalize on these trends such as the Hanes Lay Flat Collar T-shirts and Hanes Comfortsoft waist band briefs and boxers.
 
Intimate apparel net sales were $17 million higher in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. Our panties category net sales were higher by $11 million primarily due to replenishment timing and space gains. Our bra category net sales were $6 million higher in the average figure sizes driven primarily by space and distribution gains. From a brand perspective, our net sales were higher in our smaller brands (barely there, Just My Size and Wonderbra) by $12 million and in our Hanes brand by $9 million, partially offset by lower net sales in our Bali brand of $2 million and our Playtex brand of $2 million.
 
Lower net sales of $1 million in our socks product category reflect lower Champion brand net sales of $3 million, partially offset by higher Hanes brand net sales of $2 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. The higher Hanes brand net sales were primarily due to space gains in the mass merchant channel and the lower Champion brand net sales were primarily due to lower net sales in the wholesale club channel.
 
Innerwear segment gross profit was lower by $1 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. The lower gross profit was primarily due to higher sales incentives of $19 million due to higher sales volumes and investments made with retailers, higher production costs of $10 million related to higher non-customer related freight costs and energy and oil-related costs, higher cotton costs of $5 million and an unfavorable product sales mix of $5 million. These higher costs were offset by higher sales volume of $30 million, savings from our prior restructuring actions of $5 million, lower excess and obsolete inventory costs of $2 million and vendor price reductions of $2 million.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit in the Innerwear segment was 28.9% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 32.0% in the third quarter of 2009.
 
Innerwear segment operating profit was higher in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 primarily as a result of lower media related MAP expenses of $2 million, partially offset by lower gross profit.

Outerwear segment net sales were higher by $61 million or 19% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 as a result of space and distribution gains, stronger sales at retail and inventory restocking.
 
Our casualwear category net sales were higher in both the wholesale and retail channels by $19 million and $15 million, respectively. The higher net sales in the wholesale casualwear channel of 29% were primarily due to replenishment timing of inventory levels by third-party embellishers and wholesalers. The higher net sales in the retail casualwear channel of 12% reflect space gains primarily from an exclusive long-term agreement entered into with Wal-Mart in April 2009 that significantly expanded the presence of our Just My Size brand. This integrated program with Wal-Mart develops, sources, and merchandises a line of women’s clothing designed to meet the needs of plus size women.
 
Our Champion brand activewear net sales, which continue to be positively impacted by our marketing investment in the brand, were higher by $27 million or 20% due to stronger sales at retail and space gains in the sporting goods channel. Our Champion brand has achieved consistent growth by focusing on the fast growing active demographic with a unique moderate price positioning.
 
Outerwear segment gross profit was lower by $2 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. The lower gross profit was primarily due to higher cotton costs of $9 million, higher other manufacturing costs of $8 million, lower product pricing of $8 million, primarily within the wholesale category, higher production costs of $2 million and unfavorable product sales mix of $1 million. These higher costs were offset by higher sales volume of $21 million and lower sales incentives of $6 million.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit in the Outerwear segment was 22.1% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 26.9% in the third quarter of 2009.
 
Outerwear segment operating profit was lower in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 primarily as a result of lower gross profit and higher distribution expenses of $4 million, partially offset by lower media related MAP expenses of $3 million.

Net sales in the Hosiery segment declined by $4 million or 9%, which was primarily due to lower sales of our Hanes brand to national chains and department stores. Hosiery products in all channels continue to be more adversely impacted than other apparel categories by reduced consumer discretionary spending. 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 $2 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. The lower gross profit for the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 was primarily the result of lower sales volume of $3 million, partially offset by lower sales incentives of $1 million.

Direct to Consumer segment net sales were slightly higher in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 due to higher sales in our outlet stores of $1 million, offset by lower sales related to our Internet operations. The higher net sales in our outlet stores were primarily the result of new stores opened after the third quarter of 2009. Comparable store sales were flat in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009.
 
Direct to Consumer segment gross profit was lower by $3 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to unfavorable product sales mix of $2 million.

Overall net sales in the International segment were higher by $16 million or 13% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of stronger net sales in Mexico, Europe, Brazil and China, which reflects space and distribution gains and stronger sales at retail, and a favorable impact of $4 million related to foreign currency exchange rates.
 
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates on currency, International segment net sales were higher by 10% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. The favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates in our International segment was primarily due to the strengthening of the Japanese yen and Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro.
 
During the third quarter of 2010, we experienced higher net sales, in each case excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, in our intimate apparel and male underwear businesses in Mexico of $3 million, in our casualwear business in Europe of $2 million, in our male underwear business in Brazil of $2 million, in our thermals and male underwear businesses in China of $2 million and higher net sales of $3 million in all other regions. Our innerwear businesses in Mexico have continued to produce strong sales growth as we hold leading positions with strong market shares in intimate apparel and male underwear product categories. 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 $10 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. The higher gross profit was primarily a result of higher sales volume of $7 million, a favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates of $2 million, favorable product sales mix of $2 million and vendor price reductions of $1 million, partially offset by higher sales incentives of $3 million.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit in the International segment was 38.3% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 35.3% in the third quarter of 2009, increasing as a result of the items described above.
 
International segment operating profit was higher in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 which was primarily attributable to the higher gross profit, partially offset by higher distribution expenses of $2 million, higher selling and other marketing expenses of $2 million and higher non-media related MAP expenses of $1 million. 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 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009.

Sales in our Other segment primarily consisted of sales of yarn to third parties, which were intended to maintain asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities and generate approximate break even margins. In October 2009, we completed the sale of our yarn operations as a result of which we ceased making our own yarn and now source all of our yarn requirements from large-scale yarn suppliers. As a result of the sale of our yarn operations, we no longer have net sales in our Other segment.
 
General Corporate Expenses
 
General corporate expenses were $9 million lower in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to lower start-up and shut-down costs of $5 million associated with the consolidation and globalization of our supply chain, lower stock compensation and certain other benefits of $3 million and lower pension expense of $2 million, partially offset by lower gains on sales of assets of $2 million.

Consolidated net sales were higher by $275 million or 10% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009, reflecting significant space and distribution gains at retailers, positive retail sell-through and inventory restocking at retail. Our significant space and distribution gains at retailers contributed approximately 7% of sales growth, while approximately 3% of growth was driven by increased retail sell-through, retailer inventory restocking and foreign currency exchange rates.
 
Innerwear, Outerwear, Direct to Consumer and International segment net sales were higher by $129 million (9%), $122 million (16%), $4 million (1%) and $46 million (15%), respectively, in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. Hosiery and Other segment net sales were lower by $14 million (11%) and $12 million, respectively, in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009.
 
International segment net sales were higher by 15% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009, which reflected a favorable impact of $19 million related to foreign currency exchange rates due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, Japanese yen and Mexican peso compared to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro. International segment net sales were higher by 9% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 after excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates on currency.

As a percent of net sales, our gross profit was 33.6% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 32.5% in the nine months of 2009, increasing as a result of the items described below. Our results in the nine months of 2010 primarily benefited from higher sales volumes and lower manufacturing costs and were negatively impacted by higher cotton costs.
 
Our gross profit was higher by $124 million in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 due primarily to higher sales volume of $141 million, savings from our prior restructuring actions of $22 million, vendor price reductions of $20 million, lower start-up and shut-down costs of $15 million associated with the consolidation and globalization of our supply chain, lower production costs of $10 million related to lower energy and oil-related costs offset by higher non-customer related freight costs and an $8 million favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates. The favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates in our International segment was primarily due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, Japanese yen and Mexican peso compared to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro.
 
Our gross profit was negatively impacted by higher sales incentives of $32 million, an unfavorable product sales mix of $31 million, lower product pricing of $18 million, primarily within the wholesale casualwear channel, higher cotton costs of $8 million and higher other manufacturing costs of $4 million. Our sales incentives were higher due to higher sales volumes and because we made significant investments to support retailers and position ourselves for future sales opportunities.
 
We incurred one-time restructuring related write-offs of $3 million in the nine months of 2009 for stranded raw materials and work in process inventory determined not to be salvageable or cost-effective to relocate, which did not recur in the nine months of 2010.
 
The cotton prices reflected in our results were 62 cents per pound in the nine months of 2010 compared to 58 cents per pound in the nine months of 2009. After taking into consideration the cotton costs currently included in inventory, we expect our cost of cotton to average 69 cents per pound for the full year of 2010 compared to 55 cents per pound for 2009. We continue to see higher prices for cotton and oil-related materials in the market, which will impact our results for the remainder of 2010 and in 2011. We are working with our customers to offset increases in costs through price increases and joint efficiency initiatives. The timing and size of price increases will vary by product category and are expected to take effect no later than February 2011.

Our non-media related MAP expenses and media related MAP expenses were higher by $12 million and $11 million, respectively, during the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 when we reduced spending due to the recession. MAP 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. For example, during the second quarter of 2010 we launched new television advertising featuring new Hanes men’s underwear products Comfort Flex waistband and Lay Flat Collar T-shirts, we introduced new advertising supporting Playtex 18 Hour cooling products and we launched new advertising supporting the new barely there Smart sizes bra sizing system.
 
We also incurred higher distribution expenses of $17 million, higher selling and other marketing expenses of $8 million and higher consulting expenses of $5 million. The higher distribution expenses were primarily due to higher sales volumes and other incremental costs to service higher demand such as overtime and rework

expenses in our distribution centers while the higher selling and other marketing expenses were primarily due to higher sales volumes.
 
We also incurred higher expenses of $5 million in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 as a result of opening new retail stores or expanding existing stores over the last 12 months. We opened three retail stores during the nine months of 2010.
 
These higher expenses were partially offset by lower stock compensation and certain other benefit expenses of $11 million, lower pension expense of $4 million and savings of $4 million from our prior restructuring actions in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009.
 
Changes due to foreign currency exchange rates, which are included in the impact of the changes discussed above, resulted in higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $6 million in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009.

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 related to unamortized debt issuance costs resulted from the repayment of $57 million of principal under the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility and from a reduction in borrowing capacity available under 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.
 
During the nine months of 2009, we incurred costs to amend the 2006 Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility of $4 million. In addition, we incurred a $2 million loss on

Interest expense, net was lower by $14 million in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. The lower interest expense was primarily attributable to lower outstanding debt balances that reduced interest expense by $14 million. In addition, the refinancing of our debt structure in December 2009, which included the amendment and restatement of the 2006 Senior Secured Credit Facility into the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility, the issuance of the 8% Senior Notes and the settlement of certain outstanding interest rate hedging instruments, combined with a lower LIBOR and federal funds rate, caused a net decrease in interest expense in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 of $1 million.
 
Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 5.71% during the nine months of 2010 compared to 6.84% in the nine months of 2009.
 
We are required under the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility to hedge a portion of our floating rate debt to reduce interest rate risk caused by floating rate debt issuance. To comply with this requirement, in the nine months of 2010 we entered into hedging arrangements whereby we capped the LIBOR interest rate component on an aggregate of $491 million of the floating rate debt under our $500 million Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Floating Rate Senior Notes”) at 4.262%.

Income tax expense

Our effective income tax rate was 12% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 16% in the nine months of 2009. The effective income tax rate of 12% for the nine months of 2010 was primarily attributable to a discrete, non-recurring income tax benefit of approximately $20 million. The income tax benefit resulted from a change in estimate associated with the remeasurement of unrecognized tax benefit accruals and the determination that certain tax positions had been effectively settled following 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 lower proportion of our earnings attributed to foreign subsidiaries than in the nine months of 2009 which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate.
 
Our effective tax rate reflects our strategic initiative to make capital investments outside the United States in our global supply chain in 2010.

Net income for the nine months of 2010 was higher than the nine months of 2009 primarily due to higher operating profit of $129 million, lower interest expense of $14 million and lower other expense of $1 million, which was partially offset by higher income tax expense of $14 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. The allocation methodology for the consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months of 2010 was consistent with the nine months of 2009. Our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses before segment allocations were $41 million higher in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009.

Overall net sales in the Innerwear segment were higher by $129 million or 9% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009, primarily due to space and distribution gains, stronger sales at retail and retailer inventory restocking. We are driving the growth in our Innerwear segment by leveraging our scale and consumer insight to gain new space and distribution. Our strong brands across all distribution channels and our innovation processes allow us to take advantage of long-term consumer trends.
 
Net sales in our male underwear product category were 18% or $100 million higher in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009, which reflect higher net sales in our Hanes brand of $99 million primarily due to distribution gains related to a new customer in the discount retail channel, space gains in the mass merchant and department store channels and increased retail sell through. Our male underwear product category continues to benefit from the increased media support for our Hanes brand and from our identification of key long-term megatrends such as comfort and dyed and color products. We have developed innovations to capitalize on these trends such as the Hanes Lay Flat Collar T-shirts and Hanes Comfortsoft waist band briefs and boxers.
 
Intimate apparel net sales were $25 million higher in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. Our bra category net sales were $18 million higher in the full and average figure sizes driven primarily by space and distribution gains. Our panties category net sales were higher by $7 million primarily due to replenishment timing and inventory restocking at retail. From a brand perspective, our net sales were higher in our smaller brands (barely there, Just My Size and Wonderbra) by $22 million, in our Hanes brand by $8 million and in our Bali brand by $2 million, partially offset by lower net sales in our Playtex brand of $4 million.
 
Higher net sales of $4 million in our socks product category reflect higher Hanes brand net sales of $14 million, partially offset by lower Champion brand net sales of $10 million in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. The higher Hanes brand net sales were primarily due to space gains in the mass merchant channel and the lower Champion brand net sales were primarily due to lower net sales in the wholesale club channel.
 
Innerwear segment gross profit was higher by $50 million in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. The higher gross profit was primarily due to higher sales volume of $78 million, savings from our prior restructuring actions of $15 million, vendor price reductions of $11 million, higher product pricing of $3 million before increased sales incentives and lower production costs of $3 million related to lower energy and oil-related costs offset by higher non-customer related freight costs. These lower costs were partially offset by higher sales incentives of $41 million due to higher sales volumes and investments made with retailers, unfavorable product sales mix of $15 million and higher cotton costs of $2 million.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit in the Innerwear segment was 32.9% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 32.4% in the nine months of 2009, increasing as a result of the items described above.
 
Innerwear segment operating profit was higher in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 primarily as a result of higher gross profit and savings of $2 million from prior restructuring actions primarily for compensation and related benefits, partially offset by higher media related MAP expenses of $11 million, higher non-media related MAP expenses of $5 million and higher distribution expenses of $4 million.

Outerwear segment net sales, which benefited from space and distribution gains and stronger sales at retail, were higher by $122 million or 16% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. Our casualwear category net sales were higher in both the retail and wholesale channels by $57 million and $28 million, respectively. The higher net sales in the retail casualwear channel of 31% reflect space gains primarily from an exclusive long-term agreement entered into with Wal-Mart in April 2009 that significantly expanded the presence of our Just My Size brand. This integrated program with Wal-Mart develops, sources, and merchandises a line of women’s clothing designed to meet the needs of plus size women. The higher net sales in the wholesale casualwear channel of 12% were primarily due to replenishment timing of inventory levels by third-party embellishers and wholesalers.
 
Our Champion brand activewear net sales, which continue to be positively impacted by our marketing investment in the brand, were higher by $36 million or 10% due to stronger sales at retail and space gains in the sporting goods channel. Our Champion brand has achieved consistent growth by focusing on the fast growing active demographic with a unique moderate price positioning.
 
Outerwear segment gross profit was higher by $35 million in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. The higher gross profit was primarily due to higher sales volume of $45 million, lower sales incentives of $15 million, savings of $6 million from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions, lower production costs of $5 million related to lower energy and oil-related costs and vendor price reductions of $4 million. These lower costs were partially offset by lower product pricing of $22 million primarily within the wholesale casualwear channel, unfavorable product sales mix of $9 million, higher cotton costs of $6 million and higher other manufacturing costs of $2 million.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit in the Outerwear segment was 22.2% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 21.2% in the nine months of 2009, increasing as a result of the items described above.
 
Outerwear segment operating profit was higher in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 primarily as a result of higher gross profit and lower media related MAP expenses of $1 million, partially offset by higher distribution expenses of $8 million and higher non-media related MAP expenses of $4 million.

Net sales in the Hosiery segment declined by $14 million or 11%, which was primarily due to lower sales of our L’eggs brand to mass retailers and food and drug stores and our Hanes brand to national chains and department 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 nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. The lower gross profit for the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily the result of lower sales volume of $8 million, partially offset by lower production costs of $2 million, lower other manufacturing costs of $1 million and vendor price reductions of $1 million.

Direct to Consumer segment net sales were $4 million or 1% higher in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 primarily due to higher net sales related to our Internet operations and higher net sales in our outlet stores attributable to new stores opened after the nine months of 2009, partially offset by lower comparable store sales. The lower comparable store sales of 2% were driven by lower traffic.
 
Direct to Consumer segment gross profit was lower by $2 million in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. The lower gross profit was primarily due to higher other product costs of $3 million.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit in the Direct to Consumer segment was 61.6% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 63.1% in the nine months of 2009.

Overall net sales in the International segment were higher by $46 million or 15% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009, primarily as a result of stronger net sales in Canada, Europe, Mexico and Brazil, which reflects space and distribution gains and stronger sales at retail, and a favorable impact of $19 million related to foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by lower sales in Japan.
 
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates on currency, International segment net sales increased by 9% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. The favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates in our International segment was primarily due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, Japanese yen and Mexican peso compared to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro.
 
During the nine months of 2010, we experienced higher net sales, in each case excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, in our intimate apparel, male underwear and socks businesses in Canada of $9 million, in our casualwear business in Europe of $6 million, in our intimate apparel business in Mexico of $6 million and in our male underwear and hosiery businesses in Brazil of $4 million, in our thermals and male underwear businesses in China of $2 million and higher net sales of $5 million in all other regions, partially offset by lower net sales in our activewear business in Japan of $5 million. Our innerwear businesses in Canada and Mexico have continued to produce strong sales growth as we hold leading positions with strong market shares in intimate apparel and male underwear product categories. 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 $25 million in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. The higher gross profit was primarily a result of higher sales volume of $16 million, a favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates of $8 million, vendor price reductions of $4 million and favorable product mix of $2 million, partially offset by higher sales incentives of $7 million.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit in the International segment was 39.0% in the nine months of 2010 compared to 36.8% in 2009, increasing as a result of the items described above.
 
International segment operating profit was higher in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 primarily attributable to the higher gross profit, partially offset by higher selling and other marketing expenses of $6 million, higher distribution expenses of $5 million and higher non-media related MAP expenses of $2 million.
 
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 $2 million in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009.

Sales in our Other segment primarily consisted of sales of yarn to third parties, which were intended to maintain asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities and generate approximate break even margins. In October 2009, we completed the sale of our yarn operations as a result of which we ceased making our own yarn and now source all of our yarn requirements from large-scale yarn suppliers. As a result of the sale of our yarn operations, we no longer have net sales in our Other segment.
 
General Corporate Expenses
 
General corporate expenses were $19 million lower in the nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 primarily due to lower start-up and shut-down costs of $15 million associated with the consolidation and globalization of our supply chain, lower stock compensation and certain other benefits of $6 million and lower pension expense of $4 million, partially offset by lower gains on sales of assets of $3 million and higher other expenses of $3 million.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Trends and Uncertainties Affecting Liquidity
 
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated by operations and availability under the revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) under the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility and our international loan facilities. At October 2, 2010, we had $393 million of borrowing availability under our $600 million Revolving Loan Facility (after taking into account outstanding letters of credit), $32 million of borrowing availability under our international loan facilities and $75 million in cash and cash equivalents. We currently believe that our existing cash balances and cash generated by operations, together with our available credit capacity, will enable us to comply with the terms of our indebtedness and meet foreseeable liquidity requirements.
 
The following have impacted or are expected to impact liquidity:
 
  •  we have principal and interest obligations under our debt;
 
  •  we expect to continue to invest in efforts to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs;


47


Table of Contents

 
  •  we expect to continue to ramp up our lower-cost manufacturing capacity in Asia, Central America and the Caribbean Basin and enhance efficiency;
 
  •  we expect to make payments related to actions taken in prior periods related to our restructuring efforts;
 
  •  we may selectively pursue strategic acquisitions;
 
  •  we could increase or decrease the portion of the income of our foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the United States, which could significantly impact our effective income tax rate; and
 
  •  our board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 10 million shares of our stock in the open market over the next few years (2.8 million of which we have repurchased as of October 2, 2010 at a cost of $75 million), although we may choose not to repurchase any stock and instead focus on the repayment of our debt.
 
We expect to be able to manage our working capital levels and capital expenditure amounts to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity. We have restructured our supply chain over the past three years to create more efficient production clusters that utilize fewer, larger facilities and to balance production capability between the Western Hemisphere and Asia. As a result of sales growth expectations for 2010 as discussed above in the “Outlook” section of this MD&A, we have secured additional capacity with outside contractors to support sales growth.
 
Our working capital has increased during 2010, primarily in the form of inventory, to support our higher sales growth. The inventory increase is the result of both higher input costs and higher unit growth. We may also need to carry additional inventory into 2011 to support continuing sales momentum and secure additional production capacity with outside contractors as needed. With our global supply chain infrastructure substantially in place, we are focused long-term on optimizing our supply chain to further enhance efficiency, improve working capital and asset turns and reduce costs. We are focused on optimizing the working capital needs of our supply chain through several initiatives, such as supplier-managed inventory for raw materials and sourced goods ownership arrangements. Factors that could help us in these efforts include higher sales volume and the realization of additional cost benefits from previous restructuring and related actions.
 
As of October 2, 2010, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our credit facilities. We expect to maintain compliance with our covenants for the foreseeable future, however economic conditions or the occurrence of events discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or other SEC filings could cause noncompliance.
 
Our debt under the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility, Floating Rate Senior Notes and Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility bears interest at variable rates. As a result, we are exposed to changes in market interest rates that could impact the cost of servicing our debt. We are required under the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility to hedge a portion of our floating rate debt to reduce interest rate risk caused by floating rate debt issuance. To comply with this requirement, in the first quarter of 2010 we entered into hedging arrangements whereby we capped the LIBOR interest rate component on an aggregate of $491 million of the floating rate debt under the Floating Rate Senior Notes at 4.262%. The interest rate cap arrangements, with notional amounts of $241 million and $250 million, expire in December 2011.
 
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010, the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility permits us, at our option, to add one or more term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the Revolving Loan Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $300 million so long as certain conditions are satisfied, including, among others, that no default or event of default is in existence and that we are in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants in the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility. In order to support our working capital needs and fund the acquisition of Gear for Sports, on September 1, 2010, as permitted by the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility, we increased the commitments under the Revolving Loan Facility by an aggregate amount of $200 million, increasing the borrowing availability under the Revolving Loan Facility from $400 million to $600 million.
