Maidenform acquisition within three years. After full synergies, the
acquisition is expected to annually contribute more than
Synergies are expected from selling, general and administrative savings as a result of the elimination of duplicative corporate and operational costs; cost of goods sold savings as a result of the integration of Maidenform’s 100 percent sourced production model into Hanes’ predominately self-owned manufacturing operations, supplemented by sourcing; and complementary revenue, driven by the application of Hanes’ Innovate-to-Elevate strategy to Maidenform’s products.
Hanes is integrating Maidenform’s sales and marketing, supply chain, and
distribution/logistics operations into its existing organization. The
company anticipates closing the Maidenform New Jersey headquarters and
The majority of the corporate SG&A savings are anticipated to begin by mid-2014. Benefits of supply chain actions to cost of goods sold are expected to start in 2015 and be fully realized in 2016. Complementary revenue opportunities are expected to deliver benefits in late 2015, with the majority of the benefits coming in 2016.
Hanes has updated its quarterly frequently-asked-questions document, which is available at www.Hanes.com/faq.

Charges for Actions and Reconciliation to GAAP Measures
Adjusted EPS, adjusted operating profit (and margin), free cash flow, and adjusted EBITDA are not generally accepted accounting principle measures. Hanes has chosen to provide these non-GAAP measures to investors to enable additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means of evaluating company operations. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP or other pro forma measures used by other companies.
Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. The company believes that adjusted EPS provides investors with an additional means of analyzing the company’s performance absent the effect of acquisition-related expenses and other actions. See Table 5 attached to this press release to reconcile adjusted diluted EPS to GAAP diluted EPS.
Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit excluding actions, and the company believes that the measure provides investors with an additional means of analyzing the company’s performance absent the effect of acquisition-related expenses and other actions.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities less net capital expenditures. Free cash flow may not be representative of the amount of residual cash flow that is available to the company for discretionary expenditures since it may not include deductions for mandatory debt-service requirements and other nondiscretionary expenditures. The company believes, however, that free cash flow is a useful measure of the cash-generating ability of the business relative to capital expenditures and financial performance. See Table 4 and its footnotes attached to this press release to reconcile free cash flow with the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and debt-prepayment expenses. Although the company does not use EBITDA to manage its business, it believes that EBITDA is another way that investors measure financial performance. See Table 2 attached to this press release to reconcile adjusted EBITDA with the GAAP measure of net income from continuing operations.
For 2014 guidance, adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS excluding
actions and the tax effect on actions, and adjusted operating profit is
defined as operating profit excluding actions. Hanes’ current estimate
for pretax charges in 2014 for acquisition and other actions is
approximately
On a GAAP basis, full-year 2014 diluted EPS will vary depending on
actual performance, charges and tax rate. GAAP diluted EPS could be in
the range of

¹ | In the first quarter of 2013, Hanesbrands renamed the Outerwear segment to Activewear to reflect the trend of this category becoming a part of consumers’ active lifestyles and more aptly describe the competitive space of this business. In addition, certain prior-year segment operating profit disclosures have been revised to conform to the current-year presentation. These changes were primarily the result of Hanesbrands’ decision to revise the manner in which Hanesbrands allocates certain selling, general and administrative expenses. |
