Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Jan. 02, 2016
Text Block [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, certain financial statement disclosures at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may vary from these estimates. (c) Foreign Currency Translation Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) within stockholders’ equity. The Company translates the results of operations of its foreign operations at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. (d) Sales Recognition and Incentives The Company recognizes revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) title and the risks of ownership have been transferred to the customer and (iv) collection of the receivable is reasonably assured, which occurs primarily upon shipment. The Company records a sales reduction for returns and allowances based upon historical return experience. The Company earns royalty revenues through license agreements with manufacturers of other consumer products that incorporate certain of the Company’s brands. The Company accrues revenue earned under these contracts based upon reported sales from the licensee. The Company offers a variety of sales incentives to resellers and consumers of its products, and the policies regarding the recognition and display of these incentives within the Consolidated Statements of Income are as follows: Discounts, Coupons, and Rebates The Company recognizes the cost of these incentives at the later of the date at which the related sale is recognized or the date at which the incentive is offered. The cost of these incentives is estimated using a number of factors, including historical utilization and redemption rates. All cash incentives of this type are included in the determination of net sales. The Company includes incentives offered in the form of free products in the determination of cost of sales. Volume-Based Incentives These incentives typically involve rebates or refunds of cash that are redeemable only if the reseller completes a specified number of sales transactions. Under these incentive programs, the Company estimates the anticipated rebate to be paid and allocates a portion of the estimated cost of the rebate to each underlying sales transaction with the customer. The Company includes these amounts in the determination of net sales. Cooperative Advertising Under these arrangements, the Company agrees to reimburse the reseller for a portion of the costs incurred by the reseller to advertise and promote certain of the Company’s products. The Company recognizes the cost of cooperative advertising programs in the period in which the advertising and promotional activity first takes place. Fixtures and Racks Store fixtures and racks are periodically used by resellers to display Company products. The Company expenses the cost of these fixtures and racks in the period in which they are delivered to the resellers. The Company includes the costs of fixtures and racks incurred by resellers and charged back to the Company in the determination of net sales. Fixtures and racks purchased by the Company and provided to resellers are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. (e) Advertising Expense Advertising costs, which include the development and production of advertising materials and the communication of these materials through various forms of media, are expensed in the period the advertising first takes place. The Company recognized advertising expense in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” caption in the Consolidated Statements of Income of $181,956, $183,333 and $161,541 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. (f) Shipping and Handling Costs Revenue received for shipping and handling costs is included in net sales and was $19,710, $22,903 and $25,423 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Shipping costs, which comprise payments to third party shippers, and handling costs, which consist of warehousing costs in the Company’s various distribution facilities, were $332,678, $295,280 and $241,026 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company recognizes shipping, handling and distribution costs in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. (g) Catalog Expenses The Company incurs expenses for printing catalogs for products to aid in the Company’s sales efforts. The Company initially records these expenses as a prepaid item and charges it against selling, general and administrative expenses over time as the catalog is used. Expenses are recognized at a rate that approximates historical experience with regard to the timing and amount of sales attributable to a catalog distribution. (h) Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Research and development includes expenditures for new product, technological improvements for existing products and process innovation, which primarily consist of salaries, consulting and supplies attributable to time spent on research and development activities. Additional costs include depreciation and maintenance for research and development equipment and facilities. Research and development expense was $62,324, $63,268 and $51,316 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. (i) Defined Contribution Benefit Plans The Company sponsors 401(k) plans as well as other defined contribution benefit plans. Expense for these plans was $21,972, $22,898 and $23,489 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. (j) Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. (k) Accounts Receivable Valuation Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, aging of trade receivables, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information. (l) Inventory Valuation Inventories are stated at the estimated lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out, or “FIFO,” method for inventories. Obsolete, damaged, and excess inventory is carried at the net realizable value, which is determined by assessing historical recovery rates, current market conditions and future marketing and sales plans. Rebates, discounts and other cash consideration received from a vendor related to inventory purchases are reflected as reductions in the cost of the related inventory item, and are therefore reflected in cost of sales when the related inventory item is sold. (m) Property Property is stated at historical cost and depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from three to 15 years and buildings and building improvements over periods of up to 40 years. A change in the depreciable life is treated as a change in accounting estimate and the accelerated depreciation is accounted for in the period of change and future periods. Additions and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset and interest costs incurred during the construction period of major properties are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or disposition of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Property is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events include significant adverse changes in the business climate, several periods of operating or cash flow losses, forecasted continuing losses or a current expectation that an asset or an asset group will be disposed of before the end of its useful life. Recoverability of property is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value. When an impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used, the adjusted carrying amount of those assets is depreciated over its remaining useful life. Restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is not permitted under U.S. GAAP. (n) Trademarks and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets The primary identifiable intangible assets of the Company are trademarks, license agreements, customer and distributor relationships and computer software. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized and those with indefinite lives are not amortized. The estimated useful life of a finite-lived intangible asset is based upon a number of factors, including the effects of demand, competition, expected changes in distribution channels and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain future cash flows. Trademarks with finite lives are being amortized over periods ranging from seven to 30 years, license agreements are being amortized over periods ranging from three to 17 years, customer and distributor relationships are being amortized over periods ranging from two to 15 years and computer software and other intangibles are being amortized over periods ranging from one to seven years. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used in evaluating elements of property. Identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually, as of the first day of the third fiscal quarter, and as triggering events occur. The impairment test for identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization consists of comparing the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying amount. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess. In assessing fair value, management relies on a number of factors to discount anticipated future cash flows including operating results, business plans and present value techniques. Rates used to discount cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of intangible asset impairment. The Company capitalizes internal software development costs, which include the actual costs to purchase software from vendors and generally include personnel and related costs for employees who were directly associated with the enhancement and implementation of purchased computer software. Additions to computer software are included in purchases of property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. (o) Goodwill Goodwill is the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. When a business combination is completed, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned to the reporting unit or units of the Company given responsibility for managing, controlling and generating returns on these assets and liabilities. In many instances, all of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are assigned to a single reporting unit and in these cases all of the goodwill is assigned to the same reporting unit. In those situations in which the acquired assets and liabilities are allocated to more than one reporting unit, the goodwill to be assigned to each reporting unit is determined in a manner similar to how the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined. Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events occur. The Company’s annual measurement date is the first day of the third fiscal quarter. In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, the Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units and compares it to the carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the next step of the process involves comparing the implied fair value to the carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess. No impairment of goodwill was identified as a result of the testing conducted in 2015. In estimating the fair values of the reporting units, management relies on a number of factors to discount anticipated future cash flows including operating results, business plans and present value techniques. Rates used to discount cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. (p) Insurance Reserves The Company is self-insured for property, workers’ compensation, medical and other casualty programs up to certain stop-loss limits. Undiscounted liabilities for self-insured exposures are accrued at the present value of the expected aggregate losses below those limits and are based on a number of assumptions, including historical trends, actuarial assumptions and economic conditions. (q) Stock-Based Compensation The Company established the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated), (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”) to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares and cash to its employees, non-employee directors and employees of its subsidiaries to promote the interests of the Company and incent performance and retention of employees. The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of those awards. (r) Income Taxes Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Given continuing losses in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates on a separate return basis, a valuation allowance has been established for the deferred tax assets in these specific locations. The Company periodically estimates the probable tax obligations using historical experience in tax jurisdictions and informed judgment. There are inherent uncertainties related to the interpretation of tax regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company transacts business. The judgments and estimates made at a point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits, as well as changes to, or further interpretations of, regulations. Income tax expense is adjusted in the period in which these events occur, and these adjustments are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. If such changes take place, there is a risk that the Company’s effective tax rate may increase or decrease in any period. A company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. (s) Financial Instruments The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates. 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. Depending on the nature of the underlying risk being hedged, these financial instruments are either designated as cash flow hedges or are economic hedges against changes in the value of the hedged item and therefore not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivative contracts. On the date the derivative is entered into, the Company determines whether the derivative meets the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting treatment or whether the financial instrument is serving as an economic hedge against changes in the value of the hedged item and therefore is not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. The accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instrument depends on whether the derivative has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. 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. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in 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 “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and classified as current or noncurrent based on the derivatives’ maturity dates. The fair value is based upon either market quotes for actively traded instruments or independent bids for nonexchange traded instruments. Cash flows hedges are classified in the same category as the item being hedged, and cash flows from derivative contracts not designated as hedges are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 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. Cash Flow Hedges 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the hedged item affects the income statement, the gain or loss included in AOCI is reported on the same line in the Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged item. In addition, both the fair value of changes excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives used as cash flow hedges are reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges For derivative contracts not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. These contracts are recorded at fair value when the hedged item is recorded as an asset or liability and then are revalued each accounting period. (t) Assets and Liabilities Acquired in Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method, which requires the Company to allocate the cost of an acquired business to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes the excess of an acquired business’ cost over the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as goodwill. Fair values are determined using the income approach based on market participant assumptions focusing on future cash flow projections and accepted industry standards. (u) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Discontinued Operations In April 2014, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to updating the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhancing related disclosures requirements. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2015. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Extraordinary and Unusual Items In January 2015, the FASB issued new accounting rules that remove the concept of extraordinary items from U.S. GAAP. Under the existing guidance, an entity is required to separately disclose extraordinary items, net of tax, in the income statement after income from continuing operations if an event or transaction is of an unusual nature and occurs infrequently. This separate, net-of-tax presentation (and corresponding earnings per share impact) will no longer be allowed. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Consolidation In February 2015, the FASB issued an update to their existing consolidation model, which changes the analysis a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Debt Issuance Costs In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting rules, which require debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Cloud Computing In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting rules, related to a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The guidance provides clarification on whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a software license is included, the customer should account for the license consistent with its accounting for other software licenses. If a software license is not included, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Fair Value Measurement In May 2015, the FASB issued an update to their accounting guidance related to fair value measurements. The guidance removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient, and requires separate disclosure of those investments instead. These disclosures will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The new accounting rules will not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows but will result in certain additional disclosures. Revenue from Contracts with Customers In July 2015, the FASB decided to delay effective dates for the new accounting rules related to revenue recognition for contracts with customers by one year. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 with retrospective application required. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued new accounting rules, which require inventory to be recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Measurement Period Adjustments In September 2015, the FASB issued new accounting rules, which simplify the accounting for measurement period adjustments by eliminating the requirements to restate prior period financial statements for these adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The new standard, which should be applied prospectively to measurement period adjustments that occur after the effective date, is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In November 2015, the FASB issued new accounting rules, intended to improve how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets. The new guidance eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will now be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The new standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017, and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company has elected to adopt the standard early, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, and will apply the standard retrospectively. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. (v) Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, none of which are material, have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These classifications within the statements had no impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Knights Apparel Acquisition

In April 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Knights Holdco, Inc. (“Knights Apparel”), a leading seller of licensed collegiate logo apparel primarily in the mass retail channel, from Merit Capital Partners in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $192,888 on an enterprise value basis. The Company funded the acquisition with cash on hand and short-term borrowings under its Revolving Loan Facility.

The Knights Apparel and Pro Edge trademarks and brand names, which management believes to have indefinite lives, have been valued at $12,000. Amortizable intangible assets have been assigned values of $31,200 for license agreements, $14,500 for distribution networks, and $2,250 for non-compete agreements. License agreements are being amortized over 14 years. Distributor relationships are being amortized over 12 years. Non-compete agreements are being amortized over one year.

Knights Apparel contributed net revenues of approximately $160,248 and $27,096 of pretax earnings since the date of acquisition. The results of Knights Apparel have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition and are reported as part of the Activewear segment.

Earnings Per Share

Text Block [Abstract]

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 period. Diluted EPS was calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock using the treasury stock method. On March 3, 2015, the Company implemented a four-for-one stock split on the Company’s common stock in the form of a 300% stock dividend. All references to the number of shares outstanding, per share amounts and share options data of the Company’s common shares have been restated to reflect the effect of the split for all periods presented.

The reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:



	Years Ended
	January 2, 2016	January 3, 2015	December 28, 2013
Basic weighted average shares outstanding	399,891	402,300	399,436
Effect of potentially dilutive securities:
Stock options	2,719	4,452	6,144
Restricted stock units	1,009	1,292	1,708
Employee stock purchase plan and other	40	—	4
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	403,659	408,044	407,292

Restricted stock units totaling 348, 376 and 824 units were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive for 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, there were no anti-dilutive options to purchase shares of common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation

Text Block [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company established the Omnibus Incentive Plan to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares and cash to its employees, non-employee directors and employees of its subsidiaries to promote the interests of the Company and incent performance and retention of employees.

Stock Options

The exercise price of each stock option equals the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Options granted vest ratably over three years and can be exercised over a term of 10 years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no options granted during any of the periods presented.

A summary of the changes in stock options outstanding to the Company’s employees under the Omnibus Incentive Plan is presented below:



	Shares		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)
Options outstanding at December 29, 2012	19,428		$	5.67	$	59,744	4.91
Exercised	(8,308	)	5.86
Forfeited	(8	)	5.59

Options outstanding at December 28, 2013	11,112		$	5.53	$	131,219	4.31
Exercised	(3,800	)	4.82
Forfeited	(20	)	5.59

Options outstanding at January 3, 2015	7,292		$	5.92	$	158,469	3.40
Exercised	(4,540	)	6.10

Options outstanding and exercisable at January 2, 2016	2,752		$	5.62	$	65,531	2.88

The total intrinsic value of options that were exercised during 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $105,899, $86,843 and $95,380 respectively.

The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercise of the share-based payment arrangements totaled $118,682, $70,196 and $56,679 for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Stock Unit Awards

Restricted stock units (RSUs) of the Company’s stock are granted to certain Company non-employee directors and employees to incent performance and retention over periods of one to three years, respectively. Upon vesting, the RSUs are converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis and issued to the grantees. Some RSUs which have been granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan vest upon continued future service to the Company, while others also have a performance-based vesting feature. The cost of these awards is determined using the fair value of the shares on the date of grant, and compensation expense is recognized over the period during which the grantees provide the requisite service to the Company. A summary of the changes in the restricted stock unit awards outstanding under the Omnibus Incentive Plan is presented below:



	Shares		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value		Aggregate Intrinsic Value		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)
Nonvested share units outstanding at December 29, 2012	5,624		$	7.19	$	49,188	1.99

The total fair value of shares vested during 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $20,784, $17,831 and $16,933, respectively. Certain participants elected to defer receipt of shares earned upon vesting.

In addition to granting RSUs that vest solely upon continued future service to the Company, the Company also grants performanced-based restricted stock units where the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will be received upon vesting range from 0% to 200% of the number of units granted based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance metrics. These performanced-based stock awards, which are included in the table above, represent awards that are earned based on future performance and service. As reported in the above table, the number of performanced-based restricted stock units granted each year represents the initial units granted on the date of grant plus any additional units that were earned based on the final achievement of the respective performance thresholds.

For all share-based payments under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, during 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized total compensation expense of $29,154, $30,230 and $23,845 and recognized a deferred tax benefit of $11,382, $11,757 and $11,045, respectively.

At January 2, 2016, there was $11,108 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements, of which $7,828, $2,457, and $823 is expected to be recognized in 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively. The Company satisfies the requirement for common shares for share-based payments to employees pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan by issuing newly authorized shares. The Omnibus Incentive Plan authorized 63,220 shares for awards of stock options and restricted stock units, of which 11,855 were available for future grants as of January 2, 2016.

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 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

The Company has entered into agreements to sell selected trade accounts receivable to financial institutions. After the sale, the Company does not retain any interests in the receivables and the applicable financial institution services and collects these accounts receivable directly from the customer. Net proceeds of these accounts receivable sale programs are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as part of operating cash flows. The Company recognized funding fees of $2,452, $2,599 and $2,636 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for sales of accounts receivable to financial institutions in the “Other expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company’s primary financing arrangements are the senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), 6.375% senior notes (the “6.375% Senior Notes”), the Term Loan a (the “Term Loan A”), the Term Loan b (the “Term Loan B”), the euro term loan (the “Euro Term Loan”) and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. The outstanding balances at January 2, 2016 are reported in the “Current portion of long-term debt”, “Long-term debt” and “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility” lines of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Total cash paid for interest related to debt in 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $106,231, $85,512 and $96,434, respectively.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On April 29, 2015, the Company refinanced its senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) to extend the maturity date of the revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) to April 2020 and reduce the maximum borrowing capacity from $1,100,000 to $1,000,000, re-price the Revolving Loan Facility at favorable rates, and add an additional $850,000 in term loan borrowings ($425,000 for a new Term Loan A and $425,000 for a new Term Loan B. The Company incurred $10,900 in fees related to this refinancing. The proceeds of the Term Loan A and the Term Loan B were used to refinance existing revolving borrowings under the prior senior secured credit facility, pay fees and expenses in connection with the closing of the Senior Secured Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. Proceeds of the Revolving Loan Facility are used for general corporate purposes and working capital needs. On October 23, 2015, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facility to increase the principal amount of the Term Loan A by an additional $300,000. The Company incurred $1,603 in fees related to this refinancing.

In July 2014, the Company amended and restated the Senior Secured Credit Facility to increase the committed aggregate facility size to $1,600,000 (from $1,100,000), consisting of (a) Revolving Loan Facility, and (b) the Euro Term Loan. The Euro Term Loan accrues interest utilizing the EURIBOR rate (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility) plus 2.75%. The proceeds of the Euro Term Loan are denominated in Euros and were utilized in part to purchase Hanes Europe Innerwear. Proceeds of the Revolving Loan Facility are used for general corporate purposes and working capital needs. All borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility must be repaid in full upon maturity. Outstanding borrowings under the Euro Term Loan are repayable in quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original borrowings, with the remainder of the outstanding principle due at maturity.

All borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility must be repaid in full upon maturity.

Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan A are repayable in equal quarterly installments in the following annual percentages, with the remainder of the outstanding principal to be repaid at maturity: year one, 5.0%; year two, 7.5%; years three and four, 10.0%; and year five, 15.0%.

Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan B are repayable in 0.25% quarterly installments, with the remainder of the outstanding principal to be repaid at maturity. If the Term Loan B is repriced or refinanced on or prior to the twelve month anniversary of its funding and as a result of such repricing or refinancing the effective interest rate of the Term Loan B decreases, the Company shall be required to pay a prepayment fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan B subject to such repricing or refinancing.

A portion of the Revolving Loan Facility is available for the issuances of letters of credit and the making of swingline loans, and any such issuance of letters of credit or making of a swingline loan will reduce the amount available under the Revolving Loan Facility. At the Company’s option, it may add one or more term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the Revolving Loan Facility so long as certain conditions are satisfied, including, among others, that no default or event of default is in existence, that the Company is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants described below and that the Company’s senior secured leverage ratio is less than 3.00 to 1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness. As of January 2, 2016, the Company had $15,683 of standby and trade letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility and $920,817 of borrowing availability.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries, with certain customary or agreed-upon exceptions for foreign subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries. The Company and each of the guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facility have granted the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility a valid and perfected first priority (subject to certain customary exceptions) lien and security interest in the following:


•	the equity interests of substantially all of the Company’s direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries (other than U.S. subsidiaries directly or indirectly owned by foreign subsidiaries) and 65% of the voting securities of certain first tier foreign subsidiaries; and


•	substantially all present and future property and assets, real and personal, tangible and intangible, of the Company and each guarantor, except for certain enumerated interests, and all proceeds and products of such property and assets.

Additionally, the Euro Term Loan is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s subsidiary MFB International Holdings S.à r.l.’s (“MFB International Holdings”) existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, with certain customary or agreed-upon exceptions for certain subsidiaries and secured by a pledge of 100% of the equity interests of MFB International Holdings and its direct subsidiaries, 100% of the equity interests owned by any subsidiary of MFB International Holdings that is domiciled in Luxembourg and substantially all present and future property and assets, real and personal, tangible and intangible, of each Luxembourg domiciled guarantor, except for certain enumerated interests, and all proceeds and products of such property and assets.

The Term Loan A, the Term Loan B and the Company’s Euro Term Loan require the Company and its subsidiary Maidenform Luxembourg (“MF Lux”), as applicable, to prepay any outstanding Term Loans in connection with (i) the incurrence of certain indebtedness and (ii) non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions (including as a result of casualty or condemnation) that exceed certain thresholds in any period of twelve-consecutive months, with customary reinvestment provisions. The Term Loan B and the Euro Term Loan also require the Company and MF Lux, as applicable, to prepay any outstanding Term Loans under the Term Loan B and the Euro Term Loan in connection with excess cash flow, which percentage will be based upon the Company’s leverage ratio during the relevant fiscal period. All such prepayments will be made on a pro rata basis under each of the applicable Term Loans that are subject to such prepayments.

At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility, the Term Loan A and the Term Loan B bear interest based on the LIBOR rate or the “base rate” plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Revolving Loan Facility and the Term Loan A is determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, ranging from a maximum of 2.00% in the case of LIBOR-based loans and 1.00% in the case of Base Rate loans if the Company’s leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.00 to 1, and will step down in 0.25% increments to a minimum of 1.25% in the case of LIBOR-based loans and 0.25% in the case of Base Rate loans if the Company’s leverage ratio is less than 2.50 to 1. The applicable margin under the Term Loan B is 2.50% in the case of LIBOR-based loans and 1.50% in the case of Base Rate loans.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants. The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires that the Company maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total debt to EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, depreciation expense and amortization, as computed pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility), or leverage ratio. The interest coverage ratio covenant requires that the ratio of the Company’s EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters to its consolidated total interest expense for such period shall not be less than 3.0 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter. The leverage ratio covenant requires that the ratio of the Company’s total debt to EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters will not be more than 4.0 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter provided that, following a permitted acquisition in which the consideration is at least $200,000, such maximum leverage ratio covenant shall be increased to 4.5 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending in the succeeding 12-month period following such permitted acquisition. The method of calculating all of the components used in the covenants is included in the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

In addition, the commitment fee for the unused portion of revolving loan commitments made by the Lenders is between 25 and 35 basis points based on the applicable commitment fee margin in effect from time to time. When the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility) is greater than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, the commitment fee margin is 0.350%. When the Leverage Ratio is less than 4.00 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00, the applicable commitment fee margin is 0.300%. When the Leverage Ratio is less than 3.25 to 1.00, the applicable commitment fee margin is 0.250%.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after stated grace period; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; any cross-default to material indebtedness; certain material judgments; certain events related to the ERISA, actual or asserted invalidity of any guarantee, security document or subordination provision or non-perfection of security interest, and a change in control (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility). As of January 2, 2016 the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

6.375% Senior Notes

On November 9, 2010, the Company issued $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% Senior Notes. The 6.375% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness. The 6.375% Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to 6.375%. Interest is payable on the 6.375% Senior Notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 6.375% Senior Notes will mature on December 15, 2020. The net proceeds from the sale of the 6.375% Senior Notes were approximately $979,000. The net proceeds were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under another loan facility, reduce the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility and to pay fees and expenses relating to these transactions. The 6.375% Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

The indenture governing the 6.375% Senior Notes contains customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others, nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of other agreements in such indenture; failure to pay certain other indebtedness; failure to pay certain final judgments; failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

The Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility provides for up to $275,000 in funding accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and is secured by certain domestic trade receivables. Under the terms of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, certain domestic trade receivables to HBI Receivables LLC (“Receivables LLC”), a wholly owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary that in turn uses the trade receivables to secure the borrowings, which are funded through conduits and financial institutions that are not affiliated with the Company. The commitments of any conduits party to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility are funded through the issuance of commercial paper in the short-term market or through committed bank purchasers if the conduits fail to fund. The assets and liabilities of Receivables LLC are fully reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the securitization is treated as a secured borrowing for accounting purposes, but the assets of Receivables LLC will be used first to satisfy the creditors of Receivables LLC, not the Company’s creditors. The borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility remain outstanding throughout the term of the agreement subject to the Company maintaining sufficient eligible receivables, by continuing to sell trade receivables to Receivables LLC, unless an event of default occurs. In March 2015, the Company amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility to decrease certain fee rates and extended the termination date to March 11, 2016.

Availability of funding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility depends primarily upon the eligible outstanding receivables balance. The outstanding balance under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in the line “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility.” In the case of any creditors party to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility that are conduits, unless the conduits fail to fund, the yield on the commercial paper, which is the conduits’ cost to issue the commercial paper plus certain dealer fees, is considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income. If the conduits fail to fund, the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility would be funded through committed bank purchasers, and the interest rate would be payable at the Company’s option at the rate announced from time to time by HSBC Bank USA, N.A. as its prime rate or at the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility) plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time. In the case of borrowings from any other creditors party to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility that are not conduits or their related committed bank purchasers, the interest rate is payable at the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility) or, if this rate is unavailable or otherwise does not accurately reflect the costs to these creditors related to the borrowings, the prime rate. These amounts are also considered financing costs and are included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income. In addition, HBI Receivables LLC is required to make certain payments to a conduit purchaser, a committed purchaser, or certain entities that provide funding to or are affiliated with them, in the event that assets and liabilities of a conduit purchaser are consolidated for financial and/or regulatory accounting purposes with certain other entities.

The Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility contains customary events of default and requires the Company to maintain the same interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio contained from time to time in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, provided that any changes to such covenants will only be applicable for purposes of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility if approved by the Managing Agents or their affiliates. As of January 2, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

The total amount of receivables used as collateral for the credit facility was $332,948 at January 2, 2016 and is reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in “Trade accounts receivable, net.”

Other International Debt

In connection with the Hanes Europe Innerwear acquisition, the Company assumed debt (the “Other International Debt”), totaling $132,574 as of the acquisition date. Concurrent with the closing, $107,665 was repaid utilizing proceeds from the Euro Term Loan. The long-term debt outstanding as of January 2, 2016 consists of mortgage loans and term loans collateralized by fixed assets. These loans have maturity dates ranging from January, 2016 to May, 2018, and bear interest primarily based on EURIBOR rates ranging from 1.49% to 6.25% as of January 2, 2016.

Future Principal Payments

Future principal payments for all of the facilities described above are as follows: $252,819 due in 2016, $75,793 due in 2017, $77,707 due in 2018, $103,938 due in 2019, $1,483,063 due in 2020 and $513,661 due in 2021 and thereafter.

Debt Issuance Costs

During 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred $12,793, $5,560 and $5,630, respectively, in capitalized debt issuance costs in connection with the amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the respective lives of the debt instruments, which range from one to 10 years. As of January 2, 2016, the net carrying value of unamortized debt issuance costs was $32,941 which is included in “Other Noncurrent Assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s debt issuance cost amortization was $7,077, $6,011 and $6,921 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company recognizes charges in the “Other expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income for fees incurred in financing transactions such as refinancing and amendments and for write-offs incurred in the early extinguishment of debt. In 2015, the Company recognized charges of $3,019 for acceleration of unamortized debt costs related to the Euro Term and the Revolving Loan Facility. In 2013, the Company recognized charges of $14,749 for the call premium and acceleration of unamortized debt costs related to the redemption of the 8% Senior Notes.

Text Block [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company is a party to various pending legal proceedings, claims and environmental actions by government agencies. In accordance with the accounting rules for contingencies, the Company records a provision with respect to a claim, suit, investigation or proceeding when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can reasonably be estimated. Any provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the impact and status of settlements, rulings, advice of counsel and other information pertinent to the particular matter. The recorded liabilities for these items were not material to the consolidated financial statements of the Company in any of the years presented. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, the Company’s legal counsel and management are of the opinion that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Purchase Commitments In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into purchase commitments for raw materials, production and finished goods. These agreements, typically with terms ending within a year, require total payments of $334,235 in 2016 and $7,089 in 2017 and $0 thereafter. Operating Leases The Company leases certain buildings and equipment under agreements that are classified as operating leases. Rental expense under operating leases was $103,621, $89,569 and $75,178 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) are as follows: $82,660 in 2016, $72,868 in 2017, $64,607 in 2018, $48,191 in 2019, $36,730 in 2020 and $114,894 thereafter. License Agreements The Company is party to several royalty-bearing license agreements for the use of third party trademarks in certain of their products. The license agreements typically require a minimum guarantee to be paid either at the commencement of the agreement, by a designated date during the term of the agreement or by the end of the agreement period. When payments are made in advance of when they are due, the Company records a prepayment and amortizes the expense in the “Cost of sales” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income uniformly over the guaranteed period. For guarantees required to be paid at the completion of the agreement, royalties are expensed through “Cost of sales” as the related sales are made. Management has reviewed all license agreements and has concluded that there are no liabilities recorded at inception of the agreements. During 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred royalty expense of approximately $84,733, $57,072 and $42,075, respectively. Minimum amounts due under the license agreements are approximately $10,248 in 2016, $5,383 in 2017, $5,645 in 2018, $5,910 in 2019, $6,141 in 2020.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

12 Months Ended

Jan. 02, 2016

Text Block [Abstract]

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates. As of January 2, 2016, the notional U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell and purchase foreign currencies within the Company’s derivative portfolio were $265,136 and $6,099, respectively, consisting of contracts hedging primarily exposures to the Euro, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Mexican peso, Japanese yen, Brazilian real and South African rand.

As of January 3, 2015, the notional U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell and purchase foreign currencies within the Company’s derivative portfolio were $163,873 and $9,629 consisting of contracts hedging primarily exposures to the Euro, Mexican Peso, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Brazilian real and Japanese yen.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

The fair values of derivative financial instruments related to forward foreign exchange contracts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company were as follows:



		Fair Value
	Balance Sheet Location	January 2, 2016			January 3, 2015
Hedges	Other current assets	$	3,700		$	3,447
Non-hedges	Other current assets	1,514			2,960
Total derivative assets		$	5,214		$	6,407

Hedges	Accrued liabilities	$	(330	)	$	—
Non-hedges	Accrued liabilities	(775		)	(109		)
Total derivative liabilities		$	(1,105	)	$	(109	)

Net derivative asset		$	4,109		$	6,298

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses forward foreign exchange 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 Company expects to reclassify into earnings during the next 12 months a net gain from AOCI of approximately $7,016.

The changes in fair value of derivatives excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives used as cash flow hedges are reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The effect of cash flow hedge derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss is as follows:



	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (Effective Portion) Year Ended
	January 2, 2016		January 3, 2015		December 28, 2013
Foreign exchange contracts	13,423		3,905		1,593
Total	$	13,423	$	3,905	$	1,593



	Location of Gain Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into Income (Effective Portion)	Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss into Income (Effective Portion) Year Ended
		January 2, 2016		January 3, 2015		December 28, 2013
Foreign exchange contracts	Cost of sales	11,968		1,113		400
Total		$	11,968	$	1,113	$	400

Derivative Contracts Not Designated As Hedges

The Company uses foreign exchange derivative contracts as economic hedges against the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on anticipated intercompany purchase and lending transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Gains or losses on these contracts largely offset the net remeasurement gains or losses on the related assets and liabilities.

The effect of derivative contracts not designated as hedges on the Consolidated Statements of Income is as follows:



	Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivatives	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income Year Ended
	Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivatives	January 2, 2016			January 3, 2015			December 28, 2013
Foreign exchange contracts	Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	(9,271	)	$	(1,188	)	$	458

- Definition

The entire disclosure for derivative instruments and hedging activities including, but not limited to, risk management strategies, non-hedging derivative instruments, assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and methodologies and assumptions used in determining the amounts.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

12 Months Ended

Jan. 02, 2016

Text Block [Abstract]

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.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:


•	Market approach — prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.


•	Cost approach — amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost.


•	Income approach — techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations, including present value techniques, option-pricing and other models.

The Company primarily applies the market approach for commodity derivatives and for all defined benefit plan investment assets and the income approach for interest rate and foreign currency derivatives for recurring fair value measurements and attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The determination of fair values incorporates various factors that include not only the credit standing of the counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements, but also the impact of the Company’s nonperformance risk on its liabilities. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

As of January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015, 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 and defined benefit pension plan investment assets. The fair values of interest rate and foreign exchange rate derivatives are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of defined benefit pension plan investments include: certain U.S. equity securities, certain foreign equity securities and debt securities that are determined based on quoted prices in public markets categorized as Level 1, certain foreign equity securities, certain U.S. equity securities, debt securities, insurance contracts and commodity investments that are determined based on inputs readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets categorized as Level 2 and investments in hedge funds of funds and real estate investments that are based on unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists that are classified as Level 3. There were no changes during 2015 to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis. The hedge fund of funds and real estate investments have varying redemption terms of monthly, quarterly, semi-annually and annually, and have required notification periods ranging from 45 to 90 days.

As of January 2, 2016, the Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a 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 January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015. The fair value of debt, which is classified as a Level 2 liability, was $2,537,640 and $1,893,514 as of January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015 and had a carrying value of $2,506,981 and $1,839,314, 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, which is classified as a Level 2 liability, approximated fair value as of January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015, primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Accrued benefit costs related to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans are reported in the “Accrued liabilities — Payroll and employee benefits” and “Pension and postretirement benefits” lines of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(a) Measurement Date and Assumptions

A December 31 measurement date is used to value plan assets and obligations for the pension plans. In determining the discount rate, the Company utilizes, as a general benchmark, the single discount rate equivalent to discounting the expected cash flows from each plan using the yields at each duration from a published yield curve as of the measurement date. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was based on the Company’s investment policy target allocation of the asset portfolio between various asset classes and the expected real returns of each asset class over various periods of time. The weighted average actuarial assumptions used in measuring the net periodic benefit cost and plan obligations for the periods presented were as follows:



	January 2, 2016		January 3, 2015		December 28, 2013
Net periodic benefit cost:
Discount rate	4.43	%	4.96	%	4.17	%
Long-term rate of return on plan assets	5.61		6.90		7.29
Rate of compensation increase (1)	3.51		3.74		3.74

Plan obligations:
Discount rate	4.04	%	4.04	%	4.96	%
Rate of compensation increase (1)	3.51		3.50		3.74


(1)	The compensation increase assumption applies to the international plans and portions of the nonqualified retirement plans, as benefits under these plans were not frozen at January 2, 2016, January 3, 2015 and December 28, 2013.

(b) Plan Assets, Expected Benefit Payments, and Funding

The allocation of pension plan assets as of the respective period end measurement dates is as follows:



	January 2, 2016		January 3, 2015
Asset category:
Hedge fund of funds	41	%	38	%
U.S. equity securities	17		19
Foreign equity securities	15		15
Debt securities	18		19
Real estate	5		5
Commodities	2		2
Insurance contracts	1		1
Cash and other	1		1

The Company’s asset strategy and primary investment objective are to maximize the principal value of the plan assets to meet current and future benefit obligations to plan participants and their beneficiaries. To accomplish this goal, the assets of the plan are broadly diversified to protect against large investment losses and to reduce the likelihood of excessive volatility of returns. Diversification of assets is achieved through strategic allocations to various asset classes, as well as various investment styles within these asset classes, and by retaining multiple, third party investment management firms with complementary investment styles and philosophies to implement these allocations. The Company has established a target asset allocation based upon analysis of risk/return tradeoffs and correlations of asset mixes given long-term historical data, prospective capital market returns and forecasted liabilities of the plans. The target asset allocation approximates the actual asset allocation as of January 2, 2016. In addition to volatility protection, diversification enables the assets of the plan the best opportunity to provide adequate returns in order to meet the Company’s investment return objectives. These objectives include, over a rolling 5-year period, to achieve a total return that exceeds the required actuarial rate of return for the plan and to outperform a passive portfolio, consisting of a similar asset allocation.

The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the pension plan assets. At January 2, 2016, the Company had $167,069 classified as Level 1 assets, $260,323 classified as Level 2 assets and $381,825 classified as Level 3 assets. At January 3, 2015, the Company had $192,935 classified as Level 1 assets, $248,690 classified as Level 2 assets and $346,373 classified as Level 3 assets. The Level 1 assets consisted primarily of certain U.S. equity securities, certain debt securities, certain foreign equity securities and cash and cash equivalents, Level 2 assets consisted primarily of certain debt securities, certain U.S. equity securities, commodity investments, insurance contracts and certain foreign equity securities, and Level 3 assets consisted primarily of hedge fund of funds and real estate investments. Refer to Note, “Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities,” for the Company’s complete disclosure of the fair value of pension plan assets.

The Company made a voluntary contribution of $40,000 into the Company’s pension plans in January 2016. Expected benefit payments are as follows: $61,241 in 2016, $61,652 in 2017, $63,861 in 2018, $66,633 in 2019, $68,241 in 2020 and $357,746 thereafter.

Certain of the international plans, specifically those acquired in connection with the purchase of Hanes Europe Innerwear, are in substance nonretirement postemployment benefit plans, which are future liabilities funded through future operational results of the Company. However, for purposes of consolidation the Company is including these plans within the defined benefit reporting. At January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015, the total amounts accrued for these plans were $49,646 and $51,598, respectively and the total gain for the year ended January 2, 2016 was $499 and while the total expense January 3, 2015 $1,284.

(d) Interest Change

Beginning in 2016, the Company will change the method utilized to estimate primarily the interest cost component of net periodic benefit costs for the Company’s U.S. defined benefit plans from using a single discount rate as discussed above. The Company has elected to use a full yield curve approach in the estimation of the interest component of benefit costs by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligations to the relevant projected cash flows. The Company will make this change to improve the correlation between projected benefit cash flows and the corresponding yield curve spot rates and to provide a more precise measurement of interest costs. This change will not affect the measurement of the total benefit obligations as the change in interest costs is completely offset by the actuarial gain or loss reported. The Company will account for this change as a change in estimate and, accordingly, will account for it prospectively beginning in 2016.

The Company has been granted lower effective income tax rates in two foreign jurisdictions through 2019. These lower rates, when compared with the country’s statutory rates, resulted in an income tax reduction of approximately $2,200 ($0.01 per diluted share) in 2015 and $5,000 ($0.01 per diluted share) in both 2014 and 2013.

Current and deferred tax provisions (benefits) were:

Deferred tax liabilities	27,118			45,351
Net deferred tax assets	$	374,450		$	407,138

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances.

As of January 2, 2016, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $61,358, made up of $47,402 for foreign loss carryforwards, $1,345 for other foreign deferred tax assets, and $12,611 for federal and state operating loss carryforwards. The net change in the total valuation allowance for 2015 was $17,601 related to an increase of $9,588 for foreign loss carryforwards and other foreign deferred tax assets and $8,013 for federal and state operating loss carryforwards.

At January 2, 2016, the Company has total net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $191,871 for foreign jurisdictions, which will expire as follows:



Fiscal Year:
2016	$	7,783
2017	22,768
2018	17,258
2019	34,719
2020	36,437
Thereafter	72,906

At January 2, 2016, the Company had tax credit carryforwards totaling $34,051,which expire beginning after 2020.

At January 2, 2016, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $61,816 and $360,455, respectively, which expire beginning after 2018.

At January 2, 2016, applicable U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on the accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are expected to be permanently reinvested. If these earnings had not been permanently reinvested, deferred taxes of approximately $796,000 would have been recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized a benefit related to the realization of unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitations of $3,587 and $10,391, respectively. Although it is not reasonably possible to estimate the amount by which unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within the next 12 months due to uncertainties regarding the timing of examinations and the amount of settlements that may be paid, if any, to tax authorities, the Company currently expects a reduction of approximately $6,100 for unrecognized tax benefits accrued at January 2, 2016 within the next 12 months.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:




Balance at December 28, 2013 (gross balance of $51,315)	$	48,353
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year	14,703
Additions for tax positions of prior years	10,058
Reductions for tax positions of prior years	(10,004		)

Balance at January 3, 2015 (gross balance of $66,207)	$	63,110
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year	2,732
Additions for tax positions of prior years	49
Reductions for tax positions of prior years	(46,111		)

Balance at January 2, 2016 (gross balance of $20,085)	$	19,780

Unrecognized tax benefits of $19,780 of tax benefits that, if recognized, would reduce the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company recognized $3,669, $636 and $969 for interest and penalties classified as income tax benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Income for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015, the Company had a total of $2,702 and $6,371, respectively, of interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as separate and combined income tax returns in numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. In the United States, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) began an examination of the Company’s 2011 tax year during the fourth quarter of 2013 and of the Company’s 2012 tax year during the third quarter of 2014, both of which were completed during the third quarter of 2015. As a result, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $56,427 due to the remeasurement of certain unrecognized tax benefits. The Company is also currently subject to examination by various state and international tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the outcomes of both ongoing and future examinations for the current or prior years to ensure the Company’s provision for income taxes is sufficient. The Company recognizes liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due and believes its reserves are adequate in relation to any potential assessments. The outcome of any one examination, some of which may conclude during the next 12 months, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Stockholders' Equity	12 Months Ended
Stockholders' Equity	Jan. 02, 2016
Text Block [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	Stockholders’ Equity The Company is authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and up to 50,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, and the Company’s Board of Directors may, without stockholder approval, increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the Company is authorized to issue. At January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015, 391,653 and 400,789 shares, respectively, of common stock were issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding. On February 1, 2007, the Company announced that the Board of Directors granted authority for the repurchase of up to 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Share repurchases are made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Additionally, management has been granted authority to establish a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act in connection with share repurchases, which will allow the Company to repurchase shares in the open market during periods in which the stock trading window is otherwise closed for the Company and certain of the Company’s officers and employees pursuant to the Company’s insider trading policy. During 2015, the Company purchased 12,148 shares of the Company’s common stock at a cost of $351,495 (average price of $28.91). Since inception of the program, the Company has purchased 23,496 shares of common stock at a cost of $426,243 (average price of $18.13). The primary objective of the share repurchase program is to reduce the impact of dilution caused by the exercise of options and vesting of restricted stock unit awards, as well as to utilize excess cash to generate shareholder value. Preferred Stock Purchase Rights Pursuant to the Rights Agreement dated as of September 1, 2006 and previously amended on March 26, 2015 (the “Rights Agreement”) between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent, one preferred stock purchase right (a “Right”) was distributed with and attached to each share of the Company’s common stock. Each Right entitled its holder, under certain circumstances, to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at an exercise price of $75 per right. On October 27, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Rights Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment accelerated the expiration of the Rights from September 1, 2016 to November 10, 2015 and had the effect of terminating the Rights Agreement on November 10, 2015. At the time of the termination of the Rights Agreement, all of the Rights distributed to holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Rights Agreement expired. In connection with the termination of the Rights Agreement, on November 10, 2015, the Company eliminated the Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights and reclassified the Series A Preferred Stock as authorized but undesignated shares of the Company’s preferred stock. Dividends As part of the Company’s cash deployment strategy, in 2013, the Board of Directors declared the Company’s first dividends of $0.05 per share on outstanding common stock, which were paid in 2013. Prior to that declaration, the Company had not paid a cash dividend on its common stock. In 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized regular quarterly dividends of $0.075 per share, which were paid in 2014. In January 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors increased our regular quarterly dividend rate to $0.10 per share on outstanding common stock. During the Company’s 2015 fiscal year, regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.10 per share were paid on March 3, 2015, June 11, 2015, September 9, 2015 and December 8, 2015. On March 3, 2015, the Company effected a four-for-one stock split in the form of a 300% stock dividend to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 9, 2015. All references to the number of common shares outstanding, per share amounts and share options data have been restated to reflect the effect of the split for all periods presented.

Business Segment Information

Text Block [Abstract]

Business Segment Information

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

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


•	Innerwear sells basic branded products that are replenishment in nature under the product categories of men’s underwear, panties, children’s underwear, socks, hosiery and intimate apparel, which includes bras and shapewear.


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


•	Direct to Consumer includes the Company’s value-based (“outlet”) stores and Internet operations that 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 Europe, Asia, Latin America, Canada and Australia geographic locations that sell products that span across the Innerwear and Activewear reportable segments.

The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon segment operating profit, which is defined as operating profit before general corporate expenses and amortization of intangibles. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” The Company decided in the first quarter of 2015 to revise the manner in which the Company allocates certain assets and selling, general and administrative expenses. Certain prior-year segment assets and segment operating profit disclosures have been revised to conform to the current-year presentation.

Consolidating Financial Information

In accordance with the indenture governing the Company’s $1,000,000 6.375% Senior Notes issued on November 9, 2010, as supplemented from time to time, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the 6.375% Senior Notes. 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 the Company’s subsidiaries and (d) record consolidating entries; and

(v) The Company, on a consolidated basis.

The 6.375% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each guarantor subsidiary, each of which is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by Hanesbrands Inc. A guarantor subsidiary’s guarantee can be released in certain customary circumstances. Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use by the Parent Company and guarantor subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries that are eliminated upon consolidation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Jan. 02, 2016
Text Block [Abstract]
Consolidation	Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, certain financial statement disclosures at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) within stockholders’ equity. The Company translates the results of operations of its foreign operations at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Sales Recognition and Incentives	Sales Recognition and Incentives The Company recognizes revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) title and the risks of ownership have been transferred to the customer and (iv) collection of the receivable is reasonably assured, which occurs primarily upon shipment. The Company records a sales reduction for returns and allowances based upon historical return experience. The Company earns royalty revenues through license agreements with manufacturers of other consumer products that incorporate certain of the Company’s brands. The Company accrues revenue earned under these contracts based upon reported sales from the licensee. The Company offers a variety of sales incentives to resellers and consumers of its products, and the policies regarding the recognition and display of these incentives within the Consolidated Statements of Income are as follows: Discounts, Coupons, and Rebates The Company recognizes the cost of these incentives at the later of the date at which the related sale is recognized or the date at which the incentive is offered. The cost of these incentives is estimated using a number of factors, including historical utilization and redemption rates. All cash incentives of this type are included in the determination of net sales. The Company includes incentives offered in the form of free products in the determination of cost of sales. Volume-Based Incentives These incentives typically involve rebates or refunds of cash that are redeemable only if the reseller completes a specified number of sales transactions. Under these incentive programs, the Company estimates the anticipated rebate to be paid and allocates a portion of the estimated cost of the rebate to each underlying sales transaction with the customer. The Company includes these amounts in the determination of net sales. Cooperative Advertising Under these arrangements, the Company agrees to reimburse the reseller for a portion of the costs incurred by the reseller to advertise and promote certain of the Company’s products. The Company recognizes the cost of cooperative advertising programs in the period in which the advertising and promotional activity first takes place. Fixtures and Racks Store fixtures and racks are periodically used by resellers to display Company products. The Company expenses the cost of these fixtures and racks in the period in which they are delivered to the resellers. The Company includes the costs of fixtures and racks incurred by resellers and charged back to the Company in the determination of net sales. Fixtures and racks purchased by the Company and provided to resellers are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Advertising Expense	Advertising Expense Advertising costs, which include the development and production of advertising materials and the communication of these materials through various forms of media, are expensed in the period the advertising first takes place. The Company recognized advertising expense in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” caption in the Consolidated Statements of Income of $181,956, $183,333 and $161,541 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs	Shipping and Handling Costs Revenue received for shipping and handling costs is included in net sales and was $19,710, $22,903 and $25,423 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Shipping costs, which comprise payments to third party shippers, and handling costs, which consist of warehousing costs in the Company’s various distribution facilities, were $332,678, $295,280 and $241,026 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company recognizes shipping, handling and distribution costs in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Catalog Expenses	Catalog Expenses The Company incurs expenses for printing catalogs for products to aid in the Company’s sales efforts. The Company initially records these expenses as a prepaid item and charges it against selling, general and administrative expenses over time as the catalog is used. Expenses are recognized at a rate that approximates historical experience with regard to the timing and amount of sales attributable to a catalog distribution.
Research and Development	Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Research and development includes expenditures for new product, technological improvements for existing products and process innovation, which primarily consist of salaries, consulting and supplies attributable to time spent on research and development activities. Additional costs include depreciation and maintenance for research and development equipment and facilities. Research and development expense was $62,324, $63,268 and $51,316 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Defined Contribution Benefit Plans	Defined Contribution Benefit Plans The Company sponsors 401(k) plans as well as other defined contribution benefit plans. Expense for these plans was $21,972, $22,898 and $23,489 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable Valuation	Accounts Receivable Valuation Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, aging of trade receivables, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information.
Inventory Valuation	Inventory Valuation Inventories are stated at the estimated lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out, or “FIFO,” method for inventories. Obsolete, damaged, and excess inventory is carried at the net realizable value, which is determined by assessing historical recovery rates, current market conditions and future marketing and sales plans. Rebates, discounts and other cash consideration received from a vendor related to inventory purchases are reflected as reductions in the cost of the related inventory item, and are therefore reflected in cost of sales when the related inventory item is sold.
Property	Property Property is stated at historical cost and depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from three to 15 years and buildings and building improvements over periods of up to 40 years. A change in the depreciable life is treated as a change in accounting estimate and the accelerated depreciation is accounted for in the period of change and future periods. Additions and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset and interest costs incurred during the construction period of major properties are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or disposition of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Property is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events include significant adverse changes in the business climate, several periods of operating or cash flow losses, forecasted continuing losses or a current expectation that an asset or an asset group will be disposed of before the end of its useful life. Recoverability of property is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value. When an impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used, the adjusted carrying amount of those assets is depreciated over its remaining useful life. Restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is not permitted under U.S. GAAP.
Trademarks and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets	Trademarks and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets The primary identifiable intangible assets of the Company are trademarks, license agreements, customer and distributor relationships and computer software. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized and those with indefinite lives are not amortized. The estimated useful life of a finite-lived intangible asset is based upon a number of factors, including the effects of demand, competition, expected changes in distribution channels and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain future cash flows. Trademarks with finite lives are being amortized over periods ranging from seven to 30 years, license agreements are being amortized over periods ranging from three to 17 years, customer and distributor relationships are being amortized over periods ranging from two to 15 years and computer software and other intangibles are being amortized over periods ranging from one to seven years. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used in evaluating elements of property. Identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually, as of the first day of the third fiscal quarter, and as triggering events occur. The impairment test for identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization consists of comparing the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying amount. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess. In assessing fair value, management relies on a number of factors to discount anticipated future cash flows including operating results, business plans and present value techniques. Rates used to discount cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of intangible asset impairment. The Company capitalizes internal software development costs, which include the actual costs to purchase software from vendors and generally include personnel and related costs for employees who were directly associated with the enhancement and implementation of purchased computer software. Additions to computer software are included in purchases of property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill is the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. When a business combination is completed, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned to the reporting unit or units of the Company given responsibility for managing, controlling and generating returns on these assets and liabilities. In many instances, all of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are assigned to a single reporting unit and in these cases all of the goodwill is assigned to the same reporting unit. In those situations in which the acquired assets and liabilities are allocated to more than one reporting unit, the goodwill to be assigned to each reporting unit is determined in a manner similar to how the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined. Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events occur. The Company’s annual measurement date is the first day of the third fiscal quarter. In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, the Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units and compares it to the carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the next step of the process involves comparing the implied fair value to the carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess. No impairment of goodwill was identified as a result of the testing conducted in 2015. In estimating the fair values of the reporting units, management relies on a number of factors to discount anticipated future cash flows including operating results, business plans and present value techniques. Rates used to discount cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.
Insurance Reserves	Insurance Reserves The Company is self-insured for property, workers’ compensation, medical and other casualty programs up to certain stop-loss limits. Undiscounted liabilities for self-insured exposures are accrued at the present value of the expected aggregate losses below those limits and are based on a number of assumptions, including historical trends, actuarial assumptions and economic conditions.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company established the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated), (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”) to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares and cash to its employees, non-employee directors and employees of its subsidiaries to promote the interests of the Company and incent performance and retention of employees. The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of those awards.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Given continuing losses in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates on a separate return basis, a valuation allowance has been established for the deferred tax assets in these specific locations. The Company periodically estimates the probable tax obligations using historical experience in tax jurisdictions and informed judgment. There are inherent uncertainties related to the interpretation of tax regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company transacts business. The judgments and estimates made at a point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits, as well as changes to, or further interpretations of, regulations. Income tax expense is adjusted in the period in which these events occur, and these adjustments are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. If such changes take place, there is a risk that the Company’s effective tax rate may increase or decrease in any period. A company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates. 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. Depending on the nature of the underlying risk being hedged, these financial instruments are either designated as cash flow hedges or are economic hedges against changes in the value of the hedged item and therefore not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivative contracts. On the date the derivative is entered into, the Company determines whether the derivative meets the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting treatment or whether the financial instrument is serving as an economic hedge against changes in the value of the hedged item and therefore is not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. The accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instrument depends on whether the derivative has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. 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. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in 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 “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and classified as current or noncurrent based on the derivatives’ maturity dates. The fair value is based upon either market quotes for actively traded instruments or independent bids for nonexchange traded instruments. Cash flows hedges are classified in the same category as the item being hedged, and cash flows from derivative contracts not designated as hedges are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 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. Cash Flow Hedges 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the hedged item affects the income statement, the gain or loss included in AOCI is reported on the same line in the Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged item. In addition, both the fair value of changes excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives used as cash flow hedges are reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges For derivative contracts not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. These contracts are recorded at fair value when the hedged item is recorded as an asset or liability and then are revalued each accounting period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Discontinued Operations In April 2014, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to updating the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhancing related disclosures requirements. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2015. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Extraordinary and Unusual Items In January 2015, the FASB issued new accounting rules that remove the concept of extraordinary items from U.S. GAAP. Under the existing guidance, an entity is required to separately disclose extraordinary items, net of tax, in the income statement after income from continuing operations if an event or transaction is of an unusual nature and occurs infrequently. This separate, net-of-tax presentation (and corresponding earnings per share impact) will no longer be allowed. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Consolidation In February 2015, the FASB issued an update to their existing consolidation model, which changes the analysis a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Debt Issuance Costs In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting rules, which require debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Cloud Computing In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting rules, related to a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The guidance provides clarification on whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a software license is included, the customer should account for the license consistent with its accounting for other software licenses. If a software license is not included, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Fair Value Measurement In May 2015, the FASB issued an update to their accounting guidance related to fair value measurements. The guidance removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient, and requires separate disclosure of those investments instead. These disclosures will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The new accounting rules will not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows but will result in certain additional disclosures. Revenue from Contracts with Customers In July 2015, the FASB decided to delay effective dates for the new accounting rules related to revenue recognition for contracts with customers by one year. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 with retrospective application required. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued new accounting rules, which require inventory to be recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Measurement Period Adjustments In September 2015, the FASB issued new accounting rules, which simplify the accounting for measurement period adjustments by eliminating the requirements to restate prior period financial statements for these adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The new standard, which should be applied prospectively to measurement period adjustments that occur after the effective date, is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In November 2015, the FASB issued new accounting rules, intended to improve how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets. The new guidance eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will now be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The new standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017, and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company has elected to adopt the standard early, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, and will apply the standard retrospectively.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, none of which are material, have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These classifications within the statements had no impact on the Company’s results of operations.
