Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
As previously disclosed, on December 15, 2017, Hanesbrands Inc. (the “Company”), along with each of MFB International Holdings S.à r.l. and HBI Australia Acquisition Co. Pty Ltd, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Loan Parties”), entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2017 (the “Credit Agreement”), with the various financial institutions and other persons from time to time party to the Credit Agreement as lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent and the collateral agent.
On April 27, 2020, the Company, along with the Loan Parties, entered into a First Amendment and Waiver (the “First Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The First Amendment effects changes to certain provisions and covenants under the Credit Agreement during the period beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 27, 2020 and continuing through the fiscal quarter ending July 3, 2021 (such period of time, the “Covenant Relief Period”), including: (a) suspension of compliance with the maximum leverage ratio; (b) reduction of the minimum interest coverage ratio from 3.00 to 1.00 to (i) 2.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending June 27, 2020 through April 3, 2021 and (ii) 2.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending July 3, 2021; (c) a minimum EBITDA covenant of $625 million as of June 27, 2020, $505 million as of September 26, 2020, $445 million as of January 2, 2021, $435 million as of April 3, 2021 and $505 million as of July 3, 2021; (d) a minimum liquidity covenant of $300 million, increasing to $400 million upon certain conditions; (e) increased limitations on investments, acquisitions, restricted payments and the incurrence of indebtedness; and (f) anti-cash hoarding provisions. During the Covenant Relief Period, the applicable margin and applicable commitment fee margin will be calculated assuming the leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00. The First Amendment also permanently amends the definition of “leverage ratio” for purposes of the financial covenant calculation to remove the maximum amount of cash allowed to be netted from the definition of “indebtedness” and to allow for the netting of cash from certain foreign subsidiaries.
The foregoing description of the First Amendment is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the First Amendment or the Credit Agreement, as applicable.
From time to time, the financial institutions party to the Credit Agreement or their affiliates have performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services for the Company and its affiliates for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses. For example, certain lenders under the Credit Agreement and/or their affiliates are parties to the Company’s accounts receivable securitization facility.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (April 30, 2020) - HanesBrands (NYSE: HBI), a leading global marketer of branded everyday basic apparel, today announced first-quarter results that were significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prior to the pandemic’s late-quarter disruption of economies around the world, the company experienced strong revenue and profit trends. In the last two weeks of the quarter, the company experienced an unprecedented drop in sales and profit.
Due to disruptions to retailer operations and the unpredictability of consumer confidence, HanesBrands’ pandemic response is focused on several initiatives: serving channels of trade that are generating sales, preserving cash and enhancing liquidity, and developing a product line of personal protective garments, including face masks, to meet emerging commercial and consumer demand.
“We were on a pace to deliver a strong first quarter above our expectations until the late quarter impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Hanes Chief Executive Officer Gerald W. Evans Jr. “Prior to the pandemic impact, sales for our U.S. Innerwear business were significantly better than our expectations.
Champion
was a driver of better-than-planned U.S. Activewear growth, and our International businesses were in line with expectations.
“The effects of the pandemic changed those trajectories. In response, we prioritized operational protocols for the safety of our employees, consumers and communities. I am proud of the terrific effort and achievements of our global teams. We quickly pivoted to preserve cash, create balance sheet flexibility, and build strong liquidity. We used our large-scale global supply chain to manage inventory, continue to serve key channels, including mass retail and online, and seize the opportunity to expand our manufacturing capability to include cotton face masks.
HanesBrands Reports First-Quarter 2020 Financial Results - Page 2
“The COVID-19 pandemic is proving to be a significant challenge for every aspect of society to navigate. As a 120-year-old business enterprise, we feel confident that we have the right plans, the consumer-trusted brands and products, and a superior workforce to not only overcome these short-term business challenges but to thrive over the long term.”
For the first-quarter ended March 28, 2020, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are reflected in both GAAP and adjusted measures that exclude actions. The company estimates the late-quarter impact of the pandemic reduced revenue by approximately $181 million, operating profit by approximately $86 million, and EPS by approximately $0.20.
First-quarter net sales were $1.32 billion compared with $1.59 billion a year ago. The year-ago quarter included net sales of $94 million from the now exited
C9 Champion
mass program and the DKNY intimate apparel license. Excluding the exited programs, the impact of COVID-19, and foreign exchange rates, total constant-currency net sales for the first-quarter 2020 would have increased 1.6%.
First-quarter GAAP operating profit and adjusted operating profit excluding actions were $34 million and $63 million, respectively, compared with $150 million and $171 million a year ago, respectively. GAAP and adjusted EPS excluding actions were $(0.02) and $0.05, respectively, compared with $0.22 and $0.27 a year ago, respectively.
(See the Note on Reconciliation of Select GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures later in this news release for additional discussion and details.)

Sales Increase.
The company continues to generate sales through channels of trade that have remained open during the pandemic, including online, mass retail, dollar store, and food and drug. The company generates online sales through its own e-commerce websites, retailer websites, large Internet pure-plays, and business-to-business customers. Total online sales increased 5% globally in the first quarter. Online growth rates accelerated in the last two weeks of the quarter and have continued to accelerate in April.
Global
Champion
sales in constant currency decreased 11% in the first quarter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic impact. Excluding the effects of the pandemic, the company believes constant currency global
Champion
sales in the first quarter would have increased approximately 7%.
Operating Cash Flow and Inventory Improve, Despite COVID-19 Impact.
Operating cash flow was a use of $83 million in the first quarter compared with a use of $194 million in the year-ago quarter. Working capital management and a 12% reduction of inventory drove the $111 million improvement despite a reduction in GAAP net income.
HanesBrands Producing Face Coverings and Gowns and Expects to Build an Ongoing Personal Protective Garments Business.
The company is making more than 320 million cloth face coverings and more than 20 million medical gowns for the U.S. government.
In addition, the company is also ramping up production to launch a cotton face mask business for consumers and business-to-business customers, including large employers seeking to reopen business operations.
HanesBrands Reports First-Quarter 2020 Financial Results - Page 3
The company expects to create an ongoing product line of basic personal protective garments to serve the consumer, commercial and governmental markets. Sales in 2020 are expected to be more than $300 million, and the company believes the business has the potential to expand further in future years.
Actions to Preserve Cash, Increase Liquidity and Strengthen Balance Sheet.
To navigate the current economic environment, the company is limiting discretionary spending and capital expenditures, has temporarily reduced salaries and furloughed select employee groups, is managing inventory and supply chain production, and is adding liquidity to its balance sheet.
The temporary pay reductions and furloughs, as well as reductions in discretionary spending such as media and marketing, are expected to save approximately $200 million in 2020. The company is operating production and distribution facilities on a demand-adjusted basis.
The company ended the first quarter with nearly $1.1 billion of cash on hand and is adding additional liquidity and flexibility to its balance sheet.
To be prudent, the company intends to secure approximately $500 million in debt financing, subject to market conditions, with the proceeds used to repay the company’s revolver and further enhance liquidity. More bond offering details will be issued in separate news releases, as appropriate.
The company has stress tested its balance sheet under various scenarios and believes its liquidity plans provide significant operating flexibility during the pandemic, strengthens the company’s long-term business model, and positions the company to take advantage of opportunities as the world economy emerges from the pandemic.
As an added precaution, the company proactively negotiated a 15-month covenant amendment to its Senior Secured Credit Facility, which includes the suspension of its leverage covenant until the end of the second-quarter 2021.
First-Quarter 2020 Business Segment Summaries
International Segment.
International segment sales declined 14% while operating profit decreased 48%. On a constant-currency basis, net sales decreased 11% and operating profit decreased 47%.
Sales and profit were affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to wholesale business declines, approximately 1,000 of the company’s 1,200 brand stores, which closed in March, are located in international geographies. Prior to the impact of the pandemic, International segment constant-currency sales were in line with expectations.
Innerwear Segment.
Prior to mid-March, U.S. Innerwear segment sales and profit were trending significantly better than expected with net sales down less than a percentage point. Strong performance for both basics and intimates in that period, including market share gains, highlighted strong underlying fundamentals for the ongoing Innerwear revitalization.
As reported for the full quarter, net sales decreased 11% while operating profit decreased 22%, both affected by the pandemic and exit of the
C9 Champion
mass retail program. When year-ago results are rebased for program exits, segment net sales decreased 9% and operating profit decreased 21%.
HanesBrands Reports First-Quarter 2020 Financial Results - Page 4
Activewear Segment.
U.S.
Activewear segment first-quarter sales decreased 29%, or $117 million, as a result of the COVID-19 impact and $85 million of
C9 Champion
sales in mass retail in the year-ago quarter. When the year-ago quarter is rebased for the
C9 Champion
program exit, net sales decreased 10%.
Prior to mid-March, the segment had higher-than-expected performance with continued consumer demand for
Champion
brand products and increases for other activewear brands in the sports licensing business’ mass and midtier channels and seasonal activewear in the online channel.
Operating profit decreased 81% as reported and decreased 66% on a rebased basis.
2020 Financial Guidance
Due to the uncertainty and unpredictability of the COVID-19 pandemic, HanesBrands withdrew its first-quarter and full-year guidance on March 25, 2020. Until visibility of the pandemic’s effect on global economies improves, the company will not provide quarterly and full-year guidance and expectations.
The fiscal year ending Jan. 2, 2021, includes a 53
rd
week in the fourth quarter. The company has exited the
C9 Champion
mass program and DKNY license for intimate apparel. The company expects foreign currency exchange rates to reduce net sales and operating profit in 2020.
The company repurchased approximately 14.5 million shares in the first quarter and has suspended share repurchases for the remainder of the year. The average diluted shares outstanding for the first quarter were 359 million. The expected average diluted shares outstanding for second, third and fourth quarters is expected to be approximately 353 million.
Hanes has updated its quarterly frequently-asked-questions document, which is available at
www.Hanes.com/faq
.
Note on Adjusted Measures, Rebased Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP Measures
To supplement financial results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the company provides quarterly and full-year results concerning certain non‐GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EPS, adjusted net income, adjusted operating profit (and margin), adjusted SG&A, adjusted gross profit (and margin), adjusted net sales, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit excluding actions.
Adjusted SG&A is defined as selling, general and administrative expenses excluding actions. Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding actions. Adjusted net sales is defined as net sales excluding actions. Charges for actions taken in 2019 primarily represented supply chain network changes, program exit costs, and overhead reduction as well as completion of outstanding acquisition integration. Acquisition and integration costs include legal fees, consulting fees, bank fees, severance costs, certain purchase accounting items, facility closures, inventory write-offs, information technology integration costs and similar charges. While these costs are not operational in nature and are not expected to continue for any singular transaction on an ongoing basis, similar types of costs, expenses and charges have occurred in prior periods and may recur in future periods depending upon acquisition activity.
HanesBrands Reports First-Quarter 2020 Financial Results - Page 5
Hanes has chosen to present these non‐GAAP measures to investors to enable additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means of evaluating operations absent the effect of acquisitions and other actions. Hanes believes these non-GAAP measures provide management and investors with valuable supplemental information for analyzing the operating performance of the company’s ongoing business during each period presented without giving effect to costs associated with the execution and integration of any of the aforementioned actions taken.
The company has also chosen to present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to investors because it considers these measures to be an important supplemental means of evaluating operating performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding actions and stock compensation expense. Hanes believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry, and management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes in connection with setting its capital allocation strategy. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not, however, be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.
In addition, with respect to 2020 financial performance, Hanes has chosen to present certain year-over-year comparisons with respect to the company’s rebased 2019 business, which excludes the exited
C9 Champion
program and DKNY license. Hanes believes this information is useful to management and investors to facilitate a more meaningful comparison of the results of the company’s ongoing business between 2019 and 2020. The company has provided rebased 2018 and 2019 quarterly income statements in Supplemental Table B dated Feb. 7, 2020, which is available online at
www.hanes.com/investors
.
Hanes is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. As a supplement to the company’s reported operating results, Hanes also presents constant-currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. The company uses constant-currency information to provide a framework to assess how the business performed excluding the effects of changes in the rates used to calculate foreign currency translation.
To calculate foreign currency translation on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current-year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period).
Hanes believes constant-currency information is useful to management and investors to facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in the company’s businesses.
Non‐GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP measures presented may be different from non-GAAP measures with similar or identical names presented by other companies.
Reconciliations of non-GAAP to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this news release.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements, as defined under U.S. federal securities laws, with respect to our long-term goals and trends associated with our business, as well as guidance as to future performance. In particular, among others, statements regarding the potential impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business and financial performance; guidance and predictions regarding expected operating results, including related to our new business line for cotton face masks and other personal protection garments; our plans to secure additional debt financing, subject to market conditions; our belief that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our ongoing business operations;, and statements following the heading 2020 Financial Guidance, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current intent, beliefs, plans and expectations. Readers are cautioned not to place any undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements and from our historical results and experience. These risks and uncertainties include such things as: the potential effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, including on consumer spending, global supply chains and the financial markets; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses, the highly competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we compete; the rapidly changing retail environment; any inadequacy, interruption, integration failure or security failure with respect to our information technology; the impact of significant fluctuations and volatility in various input costs, such as cotton and oil-related materials, utilities, freight and wages; our ability to attract and retain a senior management team with the core competencies needed to support growth in global markets; our ability to properly manage strategic projects in order to achieve the desired results; significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; our reliance on a relatively small number of customers for a significant portion of our sales; legal, regulatory, political and economic risks related to our international operations; our ability to effectively manage our complex multinational tax structure; the existence of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting; and other risks identified from time to time in our most recent Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Since it is not possible to predict or identify all of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect future results, the above list should not be considered a complete list. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and HanesBrands undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law.

Including the unfavorable foreign currency impact of $3.9 million, global Champion sales outside the mass channel decreased approximately 12% in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019. On a constant currency basis, global Champion sales decreased approximately 11%. On a constant currency basis and adjusted for the impact of COVID-19 of approximately $84.3 million, global Champion sales would have increased approximately 7%.

Hanesbrands FAQs Updated April 30, 2020 – New or updated information is in red General and Current Period FAQs (1) Q: What is factored into your 2020 guidance? A: Due to the uncertainty and unpredictability of the COVID‐19 pandemic and the current lack of visibility in the global business environment, we are not providing second quarter or full‐year 2020 guidance at this time. (2) Q: Was your business impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020? A: We estimate COVID‐19 impacted first quarter revenue by approximately $181 million, operating profit by approximately $86 million, and earnings per share by approximately $0.20. Included in the operating profit and EPS COVID‐related estimates is an accrual for anticipated customer bankruptcies of approximately $11 million and $0.03, respectively. Excluding the COVID‐related impact, we estimate first quarter revenue would have increased 1.6% on a constant currency basis, adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating margin would have been consistent with prior year, and earnings per share would have increased 14%. Our first quarter was marked by two radically different periods as the global spread of COVID‐19 accelerated in March. Through the second week of March, we saw strong revenue and profit performance across our business, particularly within U.S. Innerwear and U.S. Activewear. Through mid‐March, U.S. Innerwear revenue was down less than 1% over prior year, well ahead of our initial forecast as our turnaround initiatives were gaining momentum and U.S. Activewear revenue was up mid‐to‐high single‐digits driven by Champion as well as our other activewear brands. However, this strong performance was more than offset by the unprecedented, sudden drop in sales and profit late in the quarter, although we have seen orders resume in April (see question 3). Our global shipments and sales essentially stopped in the last two weeks of the quarter as our customers reacted aggressively to the shelter‐in‐place announcements by delaying or cancelling their orders. We also experienced significant declines in point‐of‐sale and traffic trends at retail (our doors and our partners’ doors) once shelter‐in‐place orders were announced in each market. Our estimated impact from COVID‐19 on our first quarter results is based on: (1) cancelled orders during the last two weeks of the quarter; and, (2) the difference between the quarter‐to‐date point‐of‐sale and shipment trends at retail (our stores and customers’ stores) and the trends post the shelter‐in‐place announcements – timing of the announcements varied slightly by region, however the vast majority of the trend difference was during the last two weeks of the quarter. (3) Q: Can you provide an update on recent business trends? A: Comments reflect certain business trends as of April 30, 2020. While the majority of our stores and those of some of our retail partners remain closed, we have seen orders resume in April as consumers and retailers have begun to adapt. Online growth has rapidly accelerated each week, reaching triple digit growth rates across a number of our customers’ online platforms as well as on our Champion.com and Maidenform.com websites. Consumers are also buying our categories at stores within the mass, hypermarket, dollar store and drugstore channels. We are starting to see a new base line of orders within these channels. The Basics reset at a large mass retailer is progressing and we have received back‐to‐school orders from some of our large customers. In addition, we have ramped a new business line for cotton face masks as well as other personal protection garments. We believe this business has the potential to be a substantial contributor of incremental profit and cash flow over the next several years. 1
Our belief is driven by the anticipated change in consumer behavior (COVID‐19 pandemic driving increased usage of masks by consumers and businesses globally) as well as the sizeable interest from potential customers around the world, including governments, retailers, large corporations and individual consumers. We believe the combination of our trusted brands and large scale manufacturing could further enhance this long‐term opportunity. We are currently manufacturing cotton face masks for the U.S. government as well as launching a Hanes‐branded consumer program for several customers. Combined, we expect these programs to generate well over $300 million of sales in 2020. (4) Q: Can you comment on your liquidity position? A: We believe our current liquidity position is strong. We ended the first quarter with nearly $1.1 billion of cash on our balance sheet. Given the unpredictability and uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID‐19 on economies and consumer spending around the world, we modeled a number of different financial scenarios driven by the different timelines of retail stores re‐opening and the ramp of consumer spending. We even ran a stress‐test scenario that assumed a prolonged shelter‐in‐place environment (retail stores do not re‐open until early October). In an effort to be prudent, we have taken two proactive steps to further strengthen our substantial liquidity position. First, we closed on a 15‐month covenant amendment on our Senior Secured Credit Facility. During the amendment period, which ends on July 3, 2021: (1) our leverage covenant of 4.5 times net debt‐to‐adjusted LTM EBITDA is suspended; and (2) our interest‐coverage ratio covenant of 3.0 times adjusted LTM EBITDA is reduced to 2.0 times until April 3, 2021, at which time it steps up to 2.25 times until July 3, 2021. During the amendment period, we have two additional covenants: (1) minimum liquidity of $300 million, defined as unutilized revolving credit facilities plus unrestricted cash, which would increase to $400 million in the event of any capital raise in excess of $150 million; and (2) minimum adjusted LTM EBITDA (see 10Q for the LTM EBITDA schedule). Also during the amendment period, we cannot make acquisitions or repurchase shares, however we have the ability to pay dividends of up to $215 million annually. Additional information on this amendment can be found in our SEC filings. Second, subject to market conditions, we intend to secure approximately $500 million of debt financing, with the proceeds used to repay our U.S. Revolver, thereby increasing our liquidity to nearly $1.6 billion. While these precautions may prove to be overly conservative, we wanted to ensure that even under our stress‐test scenario, we have an ample capital cushion. We believe this will maximize our operating flexibility in the current environment, under any of our modeling scenarios, and positions us to take advantage of current and future opportunities. (5) Q: Can you provide any additional information regarding the exited programs in 2019? A: Supplemental Table B – Rebased Information dated February 7, 2020 can be found on our investor relations website (www.hanes.com/investors). Supplemental Table B provides a quarterly rebased P&L and rebased revenue and operating profit for our Innerwear and Activewear segments for 2019. This table reflects the exited C9 Champion program at Target and the DKNY Intimates license. (6) Q: Are you impacted by the increased tariffs on products coming into the U.S. from China? A: Unlike the vast majority of the apparel industry, our exposure to China is minimal. We do not own any manufacturing operations in China. Of our third‐party sourced units for the U.S. market, China represents less than 3% of our U.S. costs. We have action plans in place that are expected to further reduce imports from China to the U.S. over the next 12 – 18 months. 2
(7) Q: What is your long‐term capital allocation strategy and what are your priorities for 2020? A: Our long‐term capital allocation strategy is to effectively deploy our significant, consistent cash flow to generate the best long‐term returns for our shareholders. Over time, our goal is for our leverage ratio of net debt‐to‐adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of 2 to 3 times. Our strategy is to use our cash flow from operations to first fund capital investments and our dividend. When we are within our targeted leverage range, we intend to use debt for acquisitions and use excess free cash flow, which is defined as cash from operations less capital expenditures and dividends, to repurchase stock. When we are outside of our targeted leverage range, we plan to use excess free cash flow to pay down debt. Due to the COVID‐related uncertainty regarding the timing of global economies re‐opening and the level of consumer spending, our priority for 2020 is to preserve cash and ensure we have ample liquidity in order to maximize our operating flexibility in the current environment. We believe this positions us to take advantage of current and future opportunities. With respect to capital allocation for the remainder of 2020, we have reduced our capital expenditures to critical needs and we have suspended share repurchases. (8) Q: Do you believe your business model can continue to deliver long‐term double‐digit total shareholder returns? A: Yes. We continue to diversify our business model to be in a position to provide more consistent organic revenue growth and optimize our strong cash flow. Over the past several years, we have significantly diversified our business model by investing in our core brands, investing in our online operations, and investing in international expansion to provide us with multiple paths for delivering growth and long‐term shareholder returns. We believe we have diversified in a way that the combination of our organic and acquisition strategies provides us the ability to deliver revenue and EPS growth and when you layer on the returns from deploying our significant levels of cash flow, we believe we are well positioned for long‐term double‐digit total shareholder returns. (9) Q: How does a change in currency exchange rates impact your financial results? A: Changes in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and other currencies can impact our financial results in two ways; a translation impact and a transaction impact. The translation impact refers to the impact that changes in exchange rates can have on our published financial results. Similar to many multi‐national corporations that publish financial results in U.S. Dollars, our revenue and profit earned in local foreign currencies is translated back into U.S. Dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period. A period of strengthening in the U.S. Dollar results in a negative impact to our published financial results (because it would take more units of a local currency to convert into a dollar). The opposite is true during a period of weakening in the U.S. Dollar. The transaction impact on financial results is common for apparel companies that source goods because these goods are purchased in U.S. Dollars. The transaction impact from a strengthening dollar would be negative to our financial results (because the U.S. Dollar‐based costs would convert into a higher amount of local currency units, which means a higher local‐currency cost of goods, and in turn, a lower local‐currency gross profit). The transaction impact from exchange rates is typically recovered over time with price increases. However, during periods of rapid change in exchange rates, pricing is unable to change quickly enough. In these situations, it could make sense to hedge the exchange rate exposure in sourcing costs. ***For prior FAQs please see our prior Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including our Current Reports on Form 8‐K.*** 3
# # # Charges for Actions and Reconciliation to GAAP Measures To supplement our financial guidance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we provide quarterly and full‐year results and guidance concerning certain non‐GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EPS, adjusted net income, adjusted operating profit (and margin), adjusted SG&A, adjusted gross profit (and margin), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and net debt. Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit excluding actions. Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding actions. Adjusted SG&A is defined as selling, general and administrative expenses excluding actions. Charges for actions taken in 2018 primarily represent: acquisition and integration costs related to Hanes Europe Innerwear, Hanes Australasia, Champion Europe, Alternative Apparel and Bras N Things, and other costs related to supply chain network changes. Charges for actions taken in 2019 primarily represent supply chain network changes, program exist costs and overhead reduction as well as completion of outstanding acquisition integration. Acquisition and integration costs include legal fees, consulting fees, bank fees, severance costs, certain purchase accounting items, facility closures, inventory write‐offs, information technology integration costs and similar charges related to the integration of recently acquired businesses. While these costs are not operational in nature and are not expected to continue for any singular transaction on an ongoing basis, similar types of costs, expenses and charges have occurred in prior periods and may recur in future periods depending upon acquisition activity. We have chosen to present these non‐GAAP measures to investors to enable additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means of evaluating operations absent the effect of acquisitions and other actions. We believe these non‐GAAP measures provide management and investors with valuable supplemental information for analyzing the operating performance of the Company’s ongoing business during each period presented without giving effect to costs associated with the execution and integration of any of the aforementioned actions taken. We have also chosen to present EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA to investors because we consider these measures to be an important supplemental means of evaluating operating performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding actions and stock compensation expense. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe that these metrics are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry, and management uses the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes in connection with setting our capital allocation strategy. These metrics should not, however, be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business. In addition, with respect to 2020 financial performance, we have chosen to present certain year over year comparisons with respect to our rebased 2019 business, which excludes the exited C9 Champion program and DKNY license. We believe this information is useful to management and investors to facilitate a more meaningful comparison of the results of the company’s ongoing business between 2019 and 2020. We are a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. As a supplement to our reported operating results, we also present constant currency financial information, which is a non‐GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We use constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how the business performed excluding the effects of changes in the rates used to calculate foreign currency translation. We believe this information is useful to management and investors to facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in our businesses. To calculate foreign currency 4
translation on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period). Organic sales are net sales excluding those derived from businesses acquired within the previous 12 months of a reporting date. We believe constant currency and organic sales information is useful to management and investors to facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in the company’s businesses. Non‐GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non‐GAAP measures presented may be different from non‐GAAP measures with similar or identical names presented by other companies. See our press release dated April 30, 2020 to reconcile quarterly and full‐year non‐GAAP performance measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as well as to reconcile year over year comparisons based on our rebased 2019 business. A copy of the press release is available at www.Hanes.com/investors. Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward‐Looking Statements These FAQs certain “forward‐looking statements,” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws, with respect to our long‐ term goals and trends associated with our business, as well as guidance as to future performance.
