HANESBRANDS

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
 
(1)  Basis of Presentation
 
These statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, in accordance with those rules and regulations, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Hanesbrands Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Hanesbrands”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the combined and consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Report on Form 10-KT. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
 
Hanesbrands was incorporated in connection with the spin off by Sara Lee Corporation (“Sara Lee”) of its apparel business in the Americas and Asia (the “Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business”). The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of Hanesbrands and its subsidiaries as a separate, stand-alone entity subsequent to the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006, in addition to the historical operations of the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business which were operated as part of Sara Lee prior to the spin off.
 
Management believes the assumptions underlying the condensed consolidated financial statements for these periods are reasonable. However, the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for periods prior to September 5, 2006 do not necessarily reflect what the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business’ results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business been a stand-alone company during those periods.
 
(2)  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 first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Diluted EPS was calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock. Outstanding stock options and restricted stock units represent the only potentially dilutive effects on the Company’s weighted average shares. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, options to purchase 2,554 shares of common stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, there were 630 dilutive securities (options to purchase 171 shares of common stock and 459 restricted stock units) for purposes of computing diluted EPS.
 
For the first quarter ended April 1, 2006, basic and diluted EPS were computed using the number of shares of Hanesbrands stock outstanding on September 5, 2006, the date on which Hanesbrands common stock was distributed to stockholders of Sara Lee in connection with the spin off.

(3)  Stock-Based Compensation
 
During the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company granted options to purchase 1,082 shares of common stock pursuant to the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2006 (the “Omnibus Plan”) at an exercise price of $25.10 per share, which was the closing price of Hanesbrands’ stock on the date of grant. Options can be exercised over a term of between five and seven years and vest ratably over one to three years with the exception of one category of award which vested immediately upon grant. The fair value of each option granted during the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions: weighted average expected volatility of 26%; weighted average expected term of 4.49 years; expected dividend yield of 0%; and risk-free interest rate ranging from 4.85% to 4.92%, with a weighted average of 4.85%. The Company uses the volatility of peer companies for a period of time that is comparable to the expected life of the option to determine volatility assumptions due to the relatively short period of time since the spin off on September 5, 2006 during which Hanesbrands’ stock was traded. The Company utilized the simplified method outlined in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 to estimate expected lives for options granted during the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. The weighted average fair value of individual options granted during the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $7.73.
 
During the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company granted 574 restricted stock units (RSUs) pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. Upon the achievement of defined service conditions, the RSUs are converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis and issued to the grantees. All RSUs vest solely upon continued future service to the Company. 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. The grant date fair value of the RSUs was $25.10.
 
(4)  Restructuring
 
The reported results for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006 reflect amounts recognized for restructuring actions. Reported amounts also include the impact of certain actions that were completed for amounts more favorable than previously estimated of $633 in the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. The impact of restructuring on income before income taxes is summarized as follows:

During the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company, in connection with its plans to migrate portions of its manufacturing operations to lower-cost manufacturing facilities in other countries and to consolidate production and distribution capacity, approved actions that will result in the closure of two textile facilities and two distribution centers in the United States. All actions are expected to be completed within a 12-month period. The net impact of these actions was to reduce income before income taxes by $7,648.
 
  •  $6,406 of the net charge represents costs associated with the planned termination of 930 employees for employee termination and other benefits in accordance with benefit plans previously communicated to the affected employee group. This charge is reflected in the “Restructuring” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. As of March 31, 2007, two employees had been terminated and the severance obligation remaining in accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was $6,404.
 
  •  $1,242 of the net charge represents accelerated depreciation of buildings and equipment for the period between the date on which the action was approved and actual closure of the facilities. This charge is reflected in the “Cost of Sales” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. At the adoption date on December 31, 2006, the Company had $3,267 of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. As of March 31, 2007, the Company has $4,134 of unrecognized tax benefits.
 
Under a tax sharing agreement entered into in connection with the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006, Sara Lee generally is liable for all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes attributable to the Company with respect to taxable periods ending on or before September 5, 2006. Sara Lee is also liable for income taxes attributable to the Company with respect to taxable periods beginning before September 5, 2006 and ending after September 5, 2006, but only to the extent those taxes are allocable to the portion of the taxable period ending on September 5, 2006.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had no accrual for interest and penalties as the Company has not filed any income tax returns for taxable periods subsequent to September 5, 2006.
 
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, income taxes have been computed consistent with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting” (APB 28) and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 18, “Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 28” (FIN 18). For the first quarter ended April 1, 2006, the Company’s operations were included in the consolidated income tax returns of Sara Lee. Income taxes were calculated and provided for by the Company on a separate return basis for each quarterly period prior to the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006.
 
The difference in the effective tax rate of 30.0% for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 and the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries taxed at rates less than the U.S. statutory rate and federal tax credits. The difference in the effective tax rate of 19.9% for the quarter ended April 1, 2006 and the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to tax incentives for manufacturing in Puerto Rico, which were repealed effective for the Company’s tax year commencing after July 1, 2006, and unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries taxed at rates less than the U.S. statutory rate.
 
(6)  Comprehensive Income
 
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires that all components of comprehensive income, including net income, be reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Net income and other comprehensive income, including foreign currency translation adjustments, amounts amortized into net periodic benefit cost as required by SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans and unrealized gains and losses on qualifying cash flow hedges, are combined, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive income. The Company’s comprehensive income is as follows:
 
                 
    Quarter Ended  
    March 31,
    April 1,
 
    2007     2006  
 
Net income
  $ 12,004     $ 74,592  
Translation adjustments

Net unrealized loss on qualifying cash flow hedges, net of tax
    (2,331 )     (365 )
Amounts amortized into net periodic benefit cost:
               
Prior service benefit
    (1,224 )      
Actuarial loss
    569

(8)  Defined Benefit Pension Plans
 
Prior to the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006, employees who met certain eligibility requirements participated in defined benefit pension plans sponsored by Sara Lee. The annual cost of the Sara Lee defined benefit plans was allocated from Sara Lee to all of the participating businesses based upon a specific actuarial computation which was followed consistently. In addition to participation in the Sara Lee sponsored plans, the Company sponsors two noncontributory defined benefit plans, the Playtex Apparel, Inc. Pension Plan (the “Playtex Plan”) and the National Textiles LLC Pension Plan (the “National Textiles Plan”), for certain qualifying individuals.
 
Total assets for the Hanesbrands Inc. Pension and Retirement Plan remain within the master trust maintained by Sara Lee. A final transfer of assets from Sara Lee’s master trust to the master trust maintained by the Company will occur in fiscal 2007 once the allocation of assets and liabilities has been completed in accordance with governmental regulations. The fair value of plan assets included in the annual valuations represents a best estimate based upon a percentage allocation of total assets of the Sara Lee’s master trust and will be adjusted once the final transfer is made.
 
In connection with the spin off on September 5, 2006, the Company assumed Sara Lee’s obligations for all pension plans that related to the Company’s current and former employees. The benefits for these plans were frozen on January 1, 2006. The obligations and costs related to these plans, in addition to those obligations and costs related to the Playtex Plan and the National Textiles Plan, are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2007.
 
The pension expense (income) incurred by the Company for these defined benefit plans is as follows:

(9)  Postretirement Healthcare and Life Insurance Plans
 
Prior to the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006, employees who met certain eligibility requirements participated in post-retirement healthcare and life insurance sponsored by Sara Lee. The annual cost of the Sara Lee defined benefit plans was allocated from Sara Lee to all of the participating businesses based upon a specific actuarial computation which was followed consistently. In connection with the spin off on September 5, 2006, the Company assumed Sara Lee’s obligations under the Sara Lee postretirement plans. The obligations and costs related to all of these plans are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2007.
 
In December 2006, the Company changed the postretirement plan benefits to (a) pass along a higher share of retiree medical costs to all retirees effective February 1, 2007, (b) eliminate company contributions toward premiums for retiree medical coverage effective December 1, 2007, (c) eliminate retiree medical coverage options for all current and future retirees age 65 and older and (d) eliminate future postretirement life benefits. Gains associated with these amendments are currently being amortized and the Company expects to record a final gain on curtailment of plan benefits of approximately $36,000 in December 2007.
 
The postretirement plan expense (income) incurred by the Company for these postretirement plans is as follows:

(10)  Long-Term Debt
 
In connection with the spin off on September 5, 2006, the Company entered into a $2,150,000 senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), a $450,000 senior secured second lien credit facility and a $500,000 bridge loan facility (the “Bridge Loan Facility”). The Bridge Loan Facility was paid off in full through the issuance of $500,000 of floating rate senior notes in December 2006.
 
On February 22, 2007, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Pursuant to the First Amendment, the “applicable margin” with respect to the $1,400,000 Term B loan facility (“Term B Loan Facility”) that comprises a part of the Senior Secured Credit Facility was reduced from 2.25% to 1.75% with respect to loans maintained as “LIBO loans,” and from 1.25% to 0.75% with respect to loans maintained as “Base Rate loans.” At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility may be maintained from time to time as (a) Base Rate loans, which bear interest at the higher of (i) 1/2 of 1% in excess of the federal funds rate and (ii) the rate published in the Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” (or equivalent), in each case in effect from time to time, plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time, or (b) LIBOR based loans, which shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility and adjusted for maximum reserves), as determined by the Administrative Agent for the respective interest period plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time.
 
The First Amendment also provides that in the event that, prior to February 22, 2008, the Company: (i) incurs a new tranche of replacement loans constituting obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility having an effective interest rate margin less than the applicable margin for loans pursuant to the Term B Loan Facility (“Term B Loans”), the proceeds of which are used to repay or return, in whole or in part, principal of the outstanding Term B Loans, (ii) consummates any other amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility that reduces the applicable margin for the Term B Loans, or (iii) incurs additional Term B Loans having an effective interest rate margin less than the applicable margin for Term B Loans, the proceeds of which are used in whole or in part to prepay or repay outstanding Term B Loans, then in any such case, the Company will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with outstanding Term B Loans, a fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term B Loans being replaced on such date immediately prior to the effectiveness of such transaction.
 
The Company incurred $1,600 in debt issuance costs in connection with entering into the First Amendment which will be amortized over the life of the Term B Loan Facility.

(11)  Business Segment Information
 
Our operations are managed and reported in five operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment: Innerwear, Outerwear, Hosiery, International and Other. These segments are organized principally by product category and geographic location. Management of each segment is responsible for the assets and operations of these businesses.
 
The types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues are as follows:
 
  •  Innerwear sells basic branded products that are replenishment in nature under the product categories of women’s intimate apparel, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, socks, thermals and sleepwear.
 
  •  Outerwear sells basic branded products that are seasonal in nature under the product categories of casualwear and activewear.
 
  •  Hosiery sells products in categories such as pantyhose and knee highs.
 
  •  International relates to the Europe, Asia, Canada and Latin America geographic locations which sell products that span across the innerwear, outerwear and hosiery reportable segments.
 
  •  Other is comprised of sales of nonfinished products such as fabric and certain other materials in the United States, Asia and Latin America in order to maintain asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities.
 
The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 2 to the Company’s combined and consolidated financial statements included in its Report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 30, 2006.

(12)  Consolidating Financial Information
 
In accordance with the indenture governing the Company’s $500 million Floating Rate Senior Notes issued on December 14, 2006, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Floating Rate Senior Notes. The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:
 
(i) Hanesbrands (on an unconsolidated basis), the issuer of the guaranteed obligations;
 
(ii) Divisional entities, on a combined basis, representing operating divisions 100% owned by Hanesbrands;
 
(iii) Guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as specified in the indenture governing the Floating Rate Senior Notes;
 
(iv) Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis;
 
(v) Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among Hanesbrands, the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries, (b) eliminate intercompany profit in inventory, (c) eliminate the investments in our subsidiaries and (d) record consolidating entries; and
 
(vi) Hanesbrands, on a consolidated basis.
 
As described in Note 1 to the Company’s Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 30, 2006, a separate legal entity did not exist for Hanesbrands Inc. prior to the spin off from Sara Lee because a direct ownership relationship did not exist among the various units comprising the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business. In connection with the spin off from Sara Lee, each guarantor subsidiary became a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Hanesbrands Inc. as of September 5, 2006. Therefore, a parent company entity is not presented for fiscal periods prior to the spin-off.

The Floating Rate Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each guarantor subsidiary. Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the Company’s Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 30, 2006, except for the use by the Parent Company and guarantor subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation.

(13)  Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
The FASB has issued FAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for more information about (1) the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, (2) the information used to measure fair value, and (3) the effect that fair-value measurements have on earnings. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within

(unaudited)

those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS 157 on its results of operations and financial position.
 
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R) (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s over funded status or a liability for a plan’s under funded status, measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions), and recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in comprehensive loss and as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company adopted the provision to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements during the six months ended December 30, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company plans to adopt the measurement date provision in 2007.
 
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The provisions of SFAS 159 become effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 159 will have on its results of operations and financial position.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, or MD&A, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with our audited combined and consolidated financial statements and notes for the six month period ended December 30, 2006, which were included in our Report on Form 10-KT filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods, and our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those included in our Report on Form 10-KT.
 
Overview
 
We are a consumer goods company with a portfolio of leading apparel brands, including Hanes, Champion, Playtex, Bali, Just My Size, barely there and Wonderbra. We design, manufacture, source and sell a broad range of apparel essentials such as t-shirts, bras, panties, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, socks, hosiery, casualwear and activewear. Our brands hold either the number one or number two U.S. market position by sales in most product categories in which we compete.
 
Our operations are managed and reported in five operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment: innerwear, outerwear, hosiery, international and other. These segments are organized principally by product category and geographic location. Management of each segment is responsible for the assets and operations of these businesses.
 
  •  Innerwear.  The innerwear segment focuses on core apparel essentials, and consists of products such as women’s intimate apparel, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, socks, thermals and sleepwear, marketed under well-known brands that are trusted by consumers. We are an intimate apparel category leader in the United States with our Hanes, Playtex, Bali, barely there, Just My Size, and Wonderbra brands. We are also a leading manufacturer and marketer of men’s underwear, and kids’ underwear under the Hanes and Champion brand names. Our net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 from our innerwear segment were $590 million, representing approximately 56% of total segment net sales.
 
  •  Outerwear.  We are a leader in the casualwear and activewear markets through our Hanes, Champion and Just My Size brands, where we offer products such as t-shirts and fleece. Our casualwear lines offer a range of quality, comfortable clothing for men, women and children marketed under the Hanes and Just My Size brands. The Just My Size brand offers casual apparel designed exclusively to meet the needs of plus-size women. In addition to activewear for men and women, Champion provides uniforms for athletic programs and in 2004 launched an apparel program at Target stores, C9 by Champion. We also license our Champion name for collegiate apparel and footwear. We also supply our t-shirts, sportshirts and fleece products to screen printers and embellishers, who imprint or embroider the product and then resell to specialty retailers and organizations such as resorts and professional sports clubs. Our net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 from our outerwear segment were $284 million, representing approximately 27% of total segment net sales.
 
  •  Hosiery.  We are the leading marketer of women’s sheer hosiery in the United States. We compete in the hosiery market by striving to offer superior values and executing integrated marketing activities, as well as focusing on the style of our hosiery products. We market hosiery products under our Hanes, L’eggs and Just My Size brands. Our net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 from our hosiery segment were $74 million, representing approximately 7% of total segment net sales. In light of a sustained decline in the hosiery industry due to changes in consumer preferences, our net sales from hosiery sales have declined each year since 1995.

  •  International.  International includes products that span across the innerwear, outerwear and hosiery reportable segments. Our net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 in our international segment were $91 million, representing approximately 9% of total segment net sales and included sales in Europe, Asia, Canada and Latin America. Japan, Canada and Mexico are our largest international markets and we also have opened sales offices in India and China.
 
  •  Other.  Our net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 in our other segment were $15 million, representing approximately 1% of total segment net sales and are comprised of sales of nonfinished products such as fabric and certain other materials in the United States, Asia and Latin America in order to maintain asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities
 
Highlights from the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2007
 
  •  Total net sales increased by $7 million, or 0.7%, to $1.04 billion, up from $1.03 billion in the year-ago quarter ended April 1, 2006. Growth in the outerwear segment resulted from double-digit gains for Champion activewear and Hanes casualwear and more than offset generally flat sales in the innerwear segment and declines in other segments, primarily Hosiery.
 
  •  Operating profit was $68.9 million, a decrease of 28.4% from $96.2 million a year ago. The profit decline primarily reflected restructuring and related charges for plant closures, higher cotton costs and increased investment in business operations.
 
  •  Net income for the quarter was $12.0 million, down from $74.6 million a year ago, primarily as a result of our new independent structure. The decrease in net income reflected a $49 million increase in interest expense, reduced operating profit and a higher effective rate of income taxes.
 
  •  Using cash flow from operations, we made a voluntary $42 million pension contribution in the first quarter, reducing our underfunded liability for qualified pension plans to approximately $131 million. Our qualified pension plan liability is now approximately 84% funded.
 
  •  We entered into a first amendment to our senior secured credit facility with our lenders which primarily lowered the borrowing applicable margin with respect to the Term B loan facility from 2.25% to 1.75% on LIBOR based loans and from 1.25% to 0.75% on Base Rate loans.
 
  •  We approved actions to close two textile facilities and two distribution centers in the United States. In addition, we completed previously announced actions in the first quarter of 2007. The net impact of these actions was to reduce income before income taxes by $22 million.

Net sales

Consolidated net sales increased by $7 million or 0.7% in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006. The increase was primarily due to growth in sales volume in Hanes casualwear and Champion activewear brand sales in our Outerwear segment. We experienced higher net sales in our women’s products such as panties, casualwear, socks and sleepwear which were partially offset by lower men’s and kids’ underwear net sales. The increase in women’s net sales reflects the recent launch of our Hanes All-Over Comfort Bra. The All-Over Comfort Bra is the latest in our Hanes ComfortSoft platform, which spans across the men’s, women’s and kids’ product categories.
 
Our Outerwear segment net sales increased by $16 million and were offset by slight declines in Innerwear of $3 million, Hosiery of $4 million, International of $1 million and Other segment net sales of $1 million. We expect the trend of declining hosiery sales to continue as a result of shifts in consumer preferences, which is consistent with the long-term decline in the overall hosiery industry.

Gross profit
  $ 339,679     $ 340,892     $ (1,213 )     (0.4 )%
 
As a percent of net sales, our gross profit percentage decreased to 32.7% in the first quarter of 2007 from 33.0% in the same quarter in 2006. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily due to higher cotton costs of $10 million, $5 million in accelerated depreciation and higher excess and obsolete inventory costs of $4 million. Cotton prices, which were approximately 45 cents per pound in the first half of 2006, returned to the historical average of approximately 55 cents per pound in the second half of calendar 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. These higher costs were offset primarily by lower spending in numerous areas resulting from our prior year restructuring actions and cost savings initiatives of $14 million and lower allocations of overhead costs $7 million. The accelerated depreciation was a result of actions approved in the first quarter of 2007 to close two textile manufacturing plants and two distribution centers in the United States and previously approved actions that were completed during the first quarter of 2007.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11 million higher in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006. Our expenses were higher in the first quarter of 2007 primarily due to a reduction of allocations to inventory cost of $7 million, higher technology consulting expenses of $4 million, higher distribution expenses of $3 million, incremental stand alone expenses associated with being an independent company of $2 million and offset by the elimination of allocations from Sara Lee of $6 million. Our higher expenses were primarily offset by lower spending in media, advertising and promotion of $6 million and lower non-recurring spin off and related expenses of $3 million in the first quarter 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006. The lower media, advertising and promotion expenses are primarily due to timing of actual spending during the full year 2007 versus 2006.

During the first quarter of 2007, we approved actions to close two textile manufacturing plants and two distribution centers in the United States. These actions resulted in a charge of $6 million, representing costs associated with the planned termination of 930 employees for employee and other termination benefits in accordance with benefit plans previously communicated to the affected employee group. In addition, we recognized a charge of $10 million for estimated lease termination costs associated with plant closures announced in the six months ended December 30, 2006, for facilities which were exited in the first quarter of 2007. In connection with the approved actions in the first quarter of 2007 and previously announced actions which were completed this quarter, a charge of $5 million for accelerated depreciation of buildings and equipment is reflected in the “Cost of sales” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The first quarter actions are expected to be completed during the balance of 2007. These actions, which are a continuation of our long-term supply chain globalization strategy, are expected to result in benefits of moving production to lower-cost manufacturing facilities, leveraging our large scale in high-volume products and consolidating production capacity.

Interest expense, net increased by $49 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006 primarily as a result of the indebtedness incurred in connection with the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006, consisting of $2.6 billion pursuant to a new senior secured credit facility, a new senior secured second lien credit facility and a bridge loan facility. In December 2006, we issued $500 million of floating rate senior notes and the net proceeds were used to repay the bridge loan facility. On February 22, 2007, we entered into a first amendment to our senior secured credit facility with our lenders which primarily lowered the applicable borrowing margin with respect to the Term B loan facility from 2.25% to 1.75% on LIBOR based loans and from 1.25% to 0.75% on Base Rate loans.

The increase in our effective tax rate as an independent company is attributable primarily to the expiration of tax incentives for manufacturing in Puerto Rico, which were repealed effective after our tax

Overall net sales in the Innerwear segment decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006. We experienced lower sales of men’s and kids’ underwear of $11 million, lower intersegment sales of $5 million and an aggregate of $4 million lower sales in all other product categories in the first quarter of 2007 compared to a year ago. The lower net sales of men’s and kids’ underwear were primarily offset by higher net sales in our women’s products in socks of $8 million, women’s intimate apparel of $5 million and women’s sleepwear of $4 million. Following our recent launch of our Hanes All-Over Comfort Bra with ComfortSoft Straps media campaign, we experienced a higher retail sell through of the All-Over Comfort Bra.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage in the Innerwear segment increased in the first quarter of 2007 to 38.6% as compared to 37.9% in the same quarter of 2006. The improvement in gross profit is primarily attributable to lower sourcing costs and other manufacturing efficiencies of $8 million and lower allocations of overhead costs of $4 million offset primarily by $7 million of higher incentives on sales and $5 million of higher cotton costs.
 
The decrease in Innerwear segment operating profit in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the same quarter in 2006 is primarily attributable to the higher gross profit on lower net sales, and lower media, advertising and promotion costs of $7 million offset by a higher allocation of selling, general and administrative expenses of $12 million. Our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses before segment allocations increased in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the same quarter of 2006 primarily due to a reduction of allocations to inventory cost, higher technology consulting expenses, higher distribution expenses and higher stand alone company expenses offset by the elimination of allocations from Sara Lee and lower media, advertising and promotion expenses.

Net sales in the Outerwear segment increased by $16 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter of 2006 primarily a result of gains for Champion activewear and Hanes retail casualwear sales. Champion, our second largest brand, benefited from higher penetration in the mid-tier department store and sporting goods channels. Overall activewear and casualwear sales increased by $16 million and $22 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006. These sales increases more than offset the decrease in sales in our casualwear business of $21 million, primarily t-shirts sold through our embellishment channel.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage in the Outerwear segment increased in the first quarter of 2007 to 18.9% as compared to 17.7% in the same quarter in 2006. The improvement in gross profit is attributable to a more favorable product sales mix of $6 million and the results of prior year restructuring actions and cost savings initiatives of $4 million and lower allocations of overhead costs of $3 million offset primarily by $6 million of higher cotton costs.

As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage increased in the first quarter of 2007 to 45.7% from 41.1% in the same quarter in 2006 primarily due cost savings initiatives and manufacturing efficiencies of $3 million which were offset by the impact on gross profit of lower sales of approximately $2 million.

Overall net sales in the International segment decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter of 2006. During the first quarter of 2007 we experienced higher sales of t-shirts in Europe of $3 million and higher sales of $2 million in our emerging markets in Asia offset primarily by softer sales in Canada of $6 million. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased net sales by $1 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage was flat at 40.9% in the first quarter in 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006 at 40.8%. Gross profit was flat on slightly lower sales offset by headcount savings from prior year restructuring actions and other lower expenses.
 
The slight decrease in International segment operating profit in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006 is primarily attributable to a higher allocation of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Overall net sales in the Other segment decreased primarily due to lower net sales of nonfinished fabric and other materials to third parties in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter of 2006. Net sales of this segment are generated for the purpose of maintaining asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities.
 
Gross profit in this segment declined slightly in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter of 2006. The decrease in segment operating profit is primarily attributable to the lower sales volume.
 
General Corporate Expenses
 
General corporate expenses increased in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter of 2006 primarily due to higher costs of operating as an independent company of $2 million offset by a decrease in spin off and related charges of $3 million.

  •  we expect to continue to invest in efforts to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs;
 
  •  we expect to continue to add new manufacturing capacity in Central America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia;
 
  •  we may need to increase the portion of the income of our foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the United States, which could significantly increase our income tax expense; and
 
  •  we expect to repurchase up to 10 million shares of our stock in the open market over the next several years.
 
We believe that our cash provided from operating activities, together with our available credit capacity, will enable us to comply with the terms of our indebtedness and meet presently foreseeable financial requirements.
 
We expect to continue the restructuring efforts that we have undertaken since the spin off from Sara Lee. For example, during the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, we approved actions that will result in the closure of two textile manufacturing plants and two distribution centers. The implementation of these efforts, which are designed to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs, has resulted and is likely to continue to result in significant costs. As further plans are developed and approved by management and our board of directors, we expect to recognize additional restructuring costs to eliminate duplicative functions within the organization and transition a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity to lower-cost locations in other countries. As a result of these efforts, we expect to incur approximately $250 million in restructuring and related charges over the three year period following the spin off from Sara Lee approximately half of which is expected to be noncash. As of March 31, 2007, we have incurred $55 million in restructuring and related charges related to these efforts. We also expect to incur costs associated with the integration of our information technology systems across our company.
 
As we continue to add new manufacturing capacity in Central America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia, our exposure to events that could disrupt our foreign supply chain, including political instability, acts of war or terrorism or other international events resulting in the disruption of trade, disruptions in shipping and freight forwarding services, increases in oil prices (which would increase the cost of shipping), interruptions in the availability of basic services and infrastructure and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, is increased. Disruptions in our foreign supply chain could negatively impact our liquidity by interrupting production in offshore facilities, increasing our cost of sales, disrupting merchandise deliveries, delaying receipt of the products into the United States or preventing us from sourcing our products at all. Depending on

timing, these events could also result in lost sales, cancellation charges or excessive markdowns. For a discussion of these and other risk factors facing our business, see the risk factors section of our Report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 30, 2006.
 
As a result of provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, we are required, commencing with plan years beginning after 2007, to make larger contributions to our pension plans than Sara Lee made with respect to these plans in past years. We contributed $48 million in December 2006 and $42 million in March 2007 based upon minimum funding estimates. While these contribution payments fulfill our minimum funding requirements through fiscal 2007, if financial conditions change or if the assumptions we have used to calculate our pension costs and obligations turn out to be inaccurate, we could be required to make contributions to the pension plans in excess of our current expectations for future years. A significant increase in our funding obligations could have a negative impact on our liquidity.
 
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities
 
Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $1 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 from cash provided by operating activities of $102 million in the first quarter ended April 1, 2006. The $103 million decrease was primarily the result of lower earnings in the business due to higher interest expense, a $42 million pension contribution and changes in the use of working capital.
 
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $4 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $20 million in the first quarter ended April 1, 2006. The $16 million decrease was primarily the result of lower purchases of property and equipment and higher cash received from sales of property and equipment. While capital spending can vary from quarter to quarter, we anticipate that over the long term our capital expenditures will be approximately level with our annual depreciation of $110 million.
 
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
 
Net cash used in financing activities decreased to $3 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $137 million in the first quarter ended April 1, 2006. The decrease was primarily the result of the elimination of net transactions with parent companies and related entities subsequent to the spin off from Sara Lee and lower repayments on notes payable to banks in the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
As of March 31, 2007 and December 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents were $149 million and $156 million, respectively. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2007 was primarily the result of changes in working capital balances and a $42 million pension contribution.
 
Revolving Loan Facility
 
We have significant liquidity based on our availability under the Revolving Loan Facility provided under the senior secured credit facility that we entered into in September 2006. As of March 31, 2007, $73 million of standby and trade letters of credit were issued under this facility and $427 million was available for borrowings.
 
Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Estimates
 
We have chosen accounting policies that we believe are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial position in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, titled “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 30, 2006.

Table of Contents

 
The application of these accounting policies requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may retain outside consultants to assist in our evaluation. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations in the period in which the actual amounts become known. The accounting policies that involve the most significant management judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 30, 2006. There have been no material changes during the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 in these policies except as follows:
 
Income Taxes
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which became effective during the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. FIN 48 addresses the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, 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. The impact of the reassessment of our tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 did not have an impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
For additional information regarding the adoption of FIN 48, see Note 5, Income Taxes. For further discussion of our critical accounting estimates related to income taxes, see our Report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 30, 2006.
 
Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
The FASB has issued FAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, or “SFAS 157,” which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for more information about (1) the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, (2) the information used to measure fair value, and (3) the effect that fair-value measurements have on earnings. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS 157 on our results of operations and financial position.
 
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R), or “SFAS 158.” SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s over funded status, or a liability for a plan’s under funded status, measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions), and recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in our comprehensive loss and as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. We adopted the provision to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements during the six months ended December 30, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We plan to adopt the measurement date provision in 2007.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The provisions of SFAS 159 become effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 159 will have on our results of operations and financial position.
 
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
There have been no significant changes in our market risk exposures from those described in Item 7A of our Report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 30, 2006.
 
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
In connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that no changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures
 
Not applicable.
 
PART II
 
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
 
Although we are subject to various claims and legal actions that occur from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we are not party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
