FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue” or similar expressions. In particular, information appearing under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements inherently involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements.

Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of our management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. More information on factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated is included from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007, including under the caption “Risk Factors.”

All forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007, including under the caption “Risk Factors.” We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, other than as required by law.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

During the second quarter ended June 28, 2008, the Company acquired a sewing operation in Thailand, resulting in approximately $3,600 of additional goodwill. The Company also added two sewing facilities in Vietnam during the second quarter ended June 28, 2008.

Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements, none of which are material, have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications, which relate to changes in the classification of inventory, segment assets, segment depreciation and amortization expense, segment additions to long-lived assets and consolidating financial information, had no impact on the Company’s results of operations.


(2)	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 was effective for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities on December 30, 2007. The FASB approved a one-year deferral of the adoption of SFAS 157 as it relates to non-financial assets and liabilities with the issuance in February 2008 of FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, as a result of which implementation by the Company is now required on January 4, 2009. The partial adoption of SFAS 157 in the first quarter ended March 29, 2008 had no material impact on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company, but resulted in certain additional disclosures reflected in Note 9. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 as it relates to its non-financial assets and liabilities.

Business Combinations

HANESBRANDS

(unaudited)

and its effects. Under SFAS 141R, a company would be required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies and contingent consideration measured at their fair value at the acquisition date. It further requires that research and development assets acquired in a business combination that have no alternative future use be measured at their acquisition-date fair value and then immediately charged to expense, and that acquisition-related costs are to be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred. Among other changes, this statement would also require that “negative goodwill” be recognized in earnings as a gain attributable to the acquisition, and any deferred tax benefits resulting from a business combination be recognized in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a company provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 requires a company to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section but separate from the company’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; that changes in ownership interest be accounted for similarly, as equity transactions; and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 expands the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities to include more detailed qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

(3)	Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) was computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the third quarters and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007. Diluted EPS was calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock. The reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares for the third quarters and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007 is as follows:


	Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 27,		September 29,		September 27,		September 29,
	2008		2007		2008		2007

Basic weighted average shares		93,992		95,664		94,283		96,100
Effect of potentially dilutive securities:
Stock options		151		346		383		221
Restricted stock units		871		603		812		361
Employee stock purchase plan		4		2		5		—

Diluted weighted average shares		95,018		96,615		95,483		96,682

Options to purchase 2,454 and 1,458 shares of common stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive for the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2008, respectively.

Options to purchase 998 and 1,008 shares of common stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive for the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2007, respectively.


(4)	Stock-Based Compensation

During the first quarter ended March 29, 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 1,340 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. These options can be exercised over a term of seven years and vest ratably over one to three years. The fair value of each option granted during the first quarter ended March 29, 2008 was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: volatility of 28%; expected terms of 3.8 — 4.5 years; dividend yield of 0%; and risk-free interest rates ranging from 2.45% to 2.64%. 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 limited trading history of the Company’s common stock since the Company’s spin off from Sara Lee Corporation (“Sara Lee”) on September 5, 2006. 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 29, 2008. SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, which was issued in December 2007, amends SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 and gives a limited extension on using the simplified method for valuing stock option grants to eligible public companies that do not have sufficient historical exercise patterns on options granted to employees. The weighted average fair value of individual options granted during the first quarter ended March 29, 2008 was $7.04.

During the first quarter ended March 29, 2008, the Company granted 540 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) pursuant to the Omnibus Plan with a grant date fair value of $25.10 which was the closing price of Hanesbrands’ stock on the date of grant. During the third quarter ended September 27, 2008, the Company

HANESBRANDS

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

granted 10 RSUs pursuant to the Omnibus Plan with a grant date fair value of $21.44 which was the closing price of Hanesbrands’ stock on the date of grant. 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. Share-based compensation expense for these awards is recognized over the period during which the grantees provide the requisite service to the Company.

During the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2008, 35 and 93 shares, respectively, were purchased under the Hanesbrands Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan of 2006 (the “ESPP”) by eligible employees. During the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2007, 33 and 46 shares, respectively, were purchased under the ESPP by eligible employees. The Company had 2,271 shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP as of September 27, 2008.


(5)	Restructuring

Since becoming an independent company, the Company has undertaken a variety of restructuring efforts in connection with its consolidation and globalization strategy designed to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs. As a result of these efforts, the Company expects to incur approximately $250,000 in restructuring and related charges over the three year period following the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006, of which approximately half is expected to be noncash. As of September 27, 2008, the Company has recognized approximately $173,000 in restructuring and related charges related to these efforts since September 5, 2006. Of these charges, approximately $70,000 relates to accelerated depreciation of buildings and equipment for facilities that have been or will be closed, approximately $68,000 relates to employee termination and other benefits, approximately $21,000 relates to lease termination and other costs and approximately $14,000 relates to write-offs of stranded raw materials and work in process inventory determined not to be salvageable or cost-effective to relocate. Accelerated depreciation related to the Company’s manufacturing facilities and distribution centers that have been or will be closed is reflected in the “Cost of sales” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses” lines of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The write-offs of stranded raw materials and work in process inventory are reflected in the “Cost of sales” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The impact of restructuring efforts on income before income tax expense is summarized as follows:

The accrual balance as of September 27, 2008 is comprised of $29,139 in current accrued liabilities, primarily related to employee termination and other benefits, and $560 in other noncurrent liabilities, primarily related to lease termination payments, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Adjustments to previous estimates are primarily attributable to employee termination and other benefits and lease termination costs and resulted from actual costs to settle obligations being lower than expected. The adjustments were reflected in the “Restructuring” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Year Ended January 3, 2009 Actions

During the nine months ended September 27, 2008, the Company approved actions to close 11 manufacturing facilities and two distribution centers and eliminate approximately 9,400 positions in El Salvador, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras and the United States. The production capacity represented by the manufacturing facilities will be relocated to lower cost locations in Asia, the Caribbean Basin and Central America. The distribution capacity will be relocated to the Company’s West Coast distribution facility in California in order to expand capacity for goods

				$	2,315,250	$	2,315,250

As of September 27, 2008, the Company had $0 outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility’s $500,000 Revolving Loan Facility and $57,139 of standby and trade letters of credit issued and outstanding under this facility.

Availability of funding under the accounts receivable securitization depends primarily upon the eligible outstanding receivables balance. As of September 27, 2008, the Company had $250,000 outstanding under the accounts receivable securitization. The total amount of receivables used as collateral for the accounts receivable securitization was $481,720 and $495,245 at September 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively, and is reported on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in trade accounts receivables, less allowances.

During the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2007, the Company recognized $889 and $1,440, respectively, of losses on early extinguishment of debt related to unamortized debt issuance costs on the Senior Secured Credit Facility as a result of prepayments of $50,000 of principal in June 2007 and $75,000 of principal made in September 2007. These losses are reflected in the “Other expenses” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

On August 21, 2008, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Senior Secured Credit Facility dated as of September 5, 2006 and a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Second Lien Credit Facility dated as of September 5, 2006. Pursuant to the Second Amendment and the First Amendment, the amount of unsecured indebtedness which the Company and its subsidiaries that are obligors pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Second Lien Credit Facility, respectively, may incur under senior notes was increased from $500,000 to $1,000,000. The provisions of the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Second Lien Credit Facility that require the proceeds of the issuance of any such notes be applied to repay amounts due with respect to these Credit Facilities, and specify how any such proceeds will be applied, remain unchanged.


(9)	Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 as of December 30, 2007 for its financial assets and liabilities. Although having partially adopted SFAS 157 has had no material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, the Company is now required to provide additional disclosures

HANESBRANDS

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

as part of its financial statements. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques noted in SFAS 157. The three valuation techniques are as follows:


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

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

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

The Company primarily applies the market approach for commodity derivatives and the income approach for interest rate and foreign currency derivatives for recurring fair value measurements and attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

As of September 27, 2008, the Company held certain financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These consisted of the Company’s derivative instruments related to interest rates, foreign exchange rates and cotton. The fair values of cotton derivatives are determined based on quoted prices in public markets and are categorized as Level 1. The fair values of interest rate and foreign exchange rate derivatives are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3, and there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2008. There were no changes during the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2008 to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis.

The following table sets forth by level within SFAS 157’s fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 27, 2008. As required by SFAS 157, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.


	Assets (Liabilities) at Fair Value as of September 27, 2008
	Quoted Prices
	In Active		Significant
	Markets for		Other			Significant
	Identical		Observable			Unobservable
	Assets		Inputs			Inputs
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)			(Level 3)

The determination of fair values above incorporates various factors required under SFAS 157. These factors include not only the credit standing of the counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements, but also the impact of the Company’s nonperformance risk on its liabilities.


(10)	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						Nine Months Ended
	September 27,			September 29,			September 27,			September 29,
	2008			2007			2008			2007

Net income	$	15,920		$	38,896		$	109,288		$	76,334
Translation adjustments		(8,196	)		9,389			(5,506	)		17,023
Net unrealized loss on qualifying cash flow hedges, net of tax benefit of $(1,297), $(3,558), $(1,443), and $(824), respectively		(2,038	)		(5,589	)		(2,267	)		(1,295	)

Comprehensive income	$	6,575		$	38,966		$	102,464		$	87,033


(11)	Income Taxes

For the third quarters and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, income taxes have been computed consistent with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting” and FASB Interpretation No. 18, “Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods.”

The difference in the estimated annual effective income tax rates of 24% for the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and 30% for the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2007 and the U.S. statutory rate of 35% is primarily attributable to unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries taxed

HANESBRANDS

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

(unaudited)

at rates less than the U.S. statutory rate. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate is reflective of its strategic initiative to make substantial capital investments outside the United States in its global supply chain in 2008.

Within 180 days after Sara Lee filed its final consolidated tax return for the period that includes September 5, 2006, Sara Lee was required to deliver to the Company a computation of the amount of deferred taxes attributable to the Company’s United States and Canadian operations that would be included on the Company’s balance sheet as of September 6, 2006. If substituting the amount of deferred taxes as finally determined for the amount of estimated deferred taxes that were included on that balance sheet at the time of the spin off causes a decrease in the net book value reflected on that balance sheet, then Sara Lee will be required to pay the Company the amount of such decrease. If such substitution causes an increase in the net book value reflected on that balance sheet, then the Company will be required to pay Sara Lee the amount of such increase. Although the final settlement of any amounts due has not been determined, during the second quarter ended June 28, 2008, the Company received a preliminary cash installment of $18,000 from Sara Lee.


(12)	Business Segment Information

The Company’s operations are managed and reported in five operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Outerwear, Hosiery, International and Other. These segments are organized principally by product category and geographic location. Management of each segment is responsible for the 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 Latin America, Asia, Canada and Europe 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 yarn and certain other materials in the United States and Latin America in order to maintain asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities and generate break even margins.

The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon segment operating profit, which is defined as operating profit before general corporate expenses, amortization of trademarks and other identifiable intangibles and restructuring and related accelerated depreciation charges and inventory write-offs. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007.

(13)	Consolidating Financial Information

In accordance with the indenture governing the Company’s $500,000 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) Parent Company, the issuer of the guaranteed obligations. Parent Company includes Hanesbrands Inc. and its 100% owned operating divisions which are not legal entities, and excludes its subsidiaries which are legal entities;

(ii) Guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as specified in the indenture governing the Floating Rate Senior Notes;

(iii) Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis;

(iv) Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among Parent Company, the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries, (b) eliminate intercompany profit in inventory, (c) eliminate the investments in our subsidiaries and (d) record consolidating entries; and

(v) Parent Company, on a consolidated basis.

The Floating Rate Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each guarantor subsidiary, each of which is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by Hanesbrands Inc. Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007, 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.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation and legal entity structure relating to the classification of the investment in subsidiary balances and related equity in earnings of subsidiaries.

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” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 29, 2007, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods, and our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those included in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We are a consumer goods company with a portfolio of leading apparel brands, including Hanes, Champion, Playtex, Bali, 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 operations are managed in five operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: 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 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, Just My Size, barely there, 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 nine months ended September 27, 2008 from our Innerwear segment were $1.8 billion, 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 includes an apparel program, C9 by Champion, at Target stores. We also license our Champion name for collegiate apparel and footwear. We also supply our t-shirts, sportshirts and fleece products primarily to wholesalers, who then resell to screen printers and embellishers, through brands such as Hanes, Champion and Outer Banks. Our net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2008 from our Outerwear segment were $881 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 nine months ended September 27, 2008 from our Hosiery segment were $167 million, representing approximately 5% of total segment net sales. We expect the trend of declining hosiery sales to continue consistent with the overall decline in the industry and with shifts in consumer preferences.


	•	International. International includes products that span across the Innerwear, Outerwear and Hosiery reportable segments and are marketed under the Hanes, Champion, Wonderbra, Playtex, Rinbros, Bali and Stedman brands. Our net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2008 from our International segment were $352 million, representing approximately 11% of total segment net sales and included sales in Latin America, Asia, Canada and Europe. Canada, Europe, Japan and Mexico are our largest international markets, and we also have sales offices in India and China.

	•	Other. Our net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2008 in our Other segment were $20 million, representing approximately 1% of total segment net sales and are comprised of sales of nonfinished products such as yarn and certain other materials in the United States and Latin America in order to maintain asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities and generate break even margins. Net sales from our Other segment are expected to continue to decline during the remainder of this year and to ultimately become insignificant to us.

Our operating results are subject to some variability. Generally, our diverse range of product offerings helps mitigate the impact of seasonal changes in demand for certain items. Sales are typically higher in the last two quarters (July to December) of each fiscal year. Socks, hosiery and fleece products generally have higher sales during this period as a result of cooler weather, back-to-school shopping and holidays. Sales levels in a period are also impacted by customers’ decisions to increase or decrease their inventory levels in response to anticipated consumer demand. Our customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice to us. For example, we experienced a shift in timing by our largest retail customers of back-to-school programs from June to July in 2008. Our results of operations are also impacted by fluctuations and volatility in the price of cotton and the timing of actual spending for our media, advertising and promotion expenses. Media, advertising and promotion expenses may vary from period to period during a fiscal year depending on the timing of our advertising campaigns for retail selling seasons and product introductions.

Our operating results are also impacted by economic factors, some of which are beyond our control. Inflation can have a long-term impact on us because increasing costs of materials and labor may impact our ability to maintain satisfactory margins. In addition, inflation often is accompanied by higher interest rates, which could have a negative impact on spending, in which case our margins could decrease. Moreover, increases in inflation may not be matched by rises in income, which also could have a negative impact on spending. If we incur increased costs that are unable to be recouped, or if consumer spending decreases generally, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be adversely affected. In an effort to mitigate the impact of these incremental costs on our operating results, we have informed our retail customers that we are raising domestic prices effective during the first quarter of 2009. We are implementing an average gross price increase of four percent in our domestic product categories. The range of price increases varies by individual product category.

Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2008 were comparable to 2007. Sales levels were impacted by softer sales at retail and, as anticipated, lower Other segment sales offset by a shift in timing by our largest retail customers of back-to-school programs from June to July in 2008. Our Innerwear and International segment net sales were higher by $15 million (2%) and $13 million (13%), respectively, and were offset by lower net sales in our Outerwear, Hosiery and Other segments of $1 million (0%), $14 million (22%) and $9 million (65%), respectively, and higher intersegment sales eliminations of $5 million. Although the majority of our products are replenishment in nature and tend to be purchased by consumers on a planned, rather than on an impulse, basis, softness in the retail environment can impact our results in the short-term, as it did in the third quarter of 2008. Softer sales at retail during the third quarter of 2008 were reflective of a difficult economic and retail environment in which the ultimate consumers of our products have been significantly limiting their discretionary spending and visiting retail stores less frequently.

The higher net sales in our Innerwear segment were primarily due to an increase in sales in the Hanes brand male underwear product category of $23 million, which includes the impact of exiting a license

arrangement for a boys’ character underwear program in early 2008 that lowered sales by $4 million. Net sales of our Playtex brand intimate apparel were $11 million higher and net sales of our Bali brand intimate apparel were flat in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007. In addition, we experienced a shift in timing by our largest retail customers of back-to-school programs from June to July in 2008, which primarily impacted our underwear, socks and intimate apparel product categories. The amount of our back-to-school shipments that shifted from June to July 2008 was approximately $25 million. Intimate apparel sales in our secondary brands (barely there, Wonderbra and Just My Size) were lower by $13 million which we believe was primarily attributable to softer sales at retail as noted above. In addition, intimate apparel sales in our Hanes brand were lower by $7 million.

The higher net sales in our International segment were driven by a favorable impact of $7 million related to foreign currency exchange rates and by the growth in our casualwear businesses in Europe and Asia and our male underwear business in Canada. The favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates was primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro, Japanese yen and Brazilian real.

In our Outerwear segment, net sales of our Champion brand activewear increased by double digits in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007, and were offset by lower net sales of our casualwear product categories. Net sales in our Hosiery segment declined substantially more than the long-term trend primarily due to lower sales of our L’eggs brand to mass retailers and food and drug stores and our Hanes brand to national chains and department stores in the third quarter of 2008 compared to last year. We expect the trend of declining hosiery sales to continue consistent with the overall decline in the industry and with shifts in consumer preferences.

The decline in net sales for our Other segment is primarily due to the continued vertical integration of a yarn and fabric operation acquisition from 2006 with less focus on sales of nonfinished fabric and yarn to third parties. We expect this decline to continue during the remainder of this year and sales for this segment to ultimately become insignificant to us.

	(dollars in thousands)

Gross profit	$	341,784	$	361,019	$	(19,235	)		(5.3	)%

As a percent of net sales, our gross profit percentage was 29.6% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 31.3% in 2007. The lower gross profit percentage was primarily due to one-time restructuring related write-offs of stranded raw materials and work in process inventory determined not to be salvageable or cost-effective to relocate of $14 million in the third quarter of 2008 offset by lower accelerated depreciation of $8 million in connection with the consolidation and globalization of our supply chain. In addition, we experienced higher production costs of $7 million related to higher energy and oil related costs including freight costs, higher cotton costs of $12 million, $6 million of unfavorable timing in cost recognition that is expected to reverse in the fourth quarter, unfavorable product sales mix of $5 million, other vendor price increases of $4 million, lower sales volume of $4 million and higher other manufacturing overhead costs of $3 million.

The cotton prices reflected in our results were 69 cents per pound in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to 57 cents per pound in 2007. After taking into consideration the cotton costs currently included in inventory, we expect our cost of cotton to average 66 cents per pound for the full year 2008.

These higher expenses were partially offset by $7 million of savings from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions, lower on-going excess and obsolete inventory costs of $7 million, lower sales incentives of $6 million, lower start-up and shut down costs associated with our consolidation and globalization of our supply chain of $3 million, a favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates of $3 million and higher product sales pricing of $2 million. The favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact in our International segment was primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro, Japanese yen and Brazilian real.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $2 million higher in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007. Our cost reduction efforts resulted in lower expenses in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 related to lower technology consulting expenses of $4 million, savings of $3 million from our prior restructuring actions primarily for compensation and related benefits, lower accelerated depreciation of $3 million, lower media related media, advertising and promotion expenses (“MAP”) of $2 million and lower non-media related MAP expenses of $2 million. MAP expenses may vary from period to period during a fiscal year depending on the timing of our advertising campaigns for retail selling seasons and product introductions. In addition, $2 million of spin off and related charges recognized in the third quarter of 2007 did not recur in 2008.

The above lower expenses were offset by higher bad debt expense of $7 million primarily related to the bankruptcy of Mervyn’s LLC and its affiliated entities (“Mervyn’s”), higher distribution expenses of $2 million and higher computer software amortization expense of $2 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007. Approximately half of the higher distribution expenses in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 were postage and freight related and the other half related to rework expenses in our distribution centers. Our pension income of $3 million was lower by $4 million which is primarily attributable to an adjustment that reduced pension expense in 2007 related to the final separation of our pension assets and liabilities from those of Sara Lee Corporation (“Sara Lee”). We also incurred higher expenses of $1 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of opening 10 retail stores over the last 12 months. In addition, we incurred $2 million in amortization of gain on curtailment of postretirement benefits in the third quarter of 2007 which did not recur in 2008.

Our cost reduction efforts have allowed us to offset investments in our strategic initiatives which were $6 million lower in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 for media related MAP expenses and technology consulting expenses.

During the third quarter of 2008, we approved actions to close nine manufacturing facilities and eliminate approximately 8,100 positions in El Salvador, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras and the United States during the next twelve months. The production capacity represented by the manufacturing facilities will be relocated to lower cost locations in Asia, the Caribbean Basin and Central America. We recorded a charge of $21 million that was primarily attributable to employee termination and other benefits recognized in accordance with benefit plans previously communicated to the affected employee group and $9 million in charges related to exiting supply contracts, which was partially offset by a $2 million favorable settlement of a lease obligation for a lower amount than previously estimated.

In the third quarter of 2008, we recorded $14 million in one-time write-offs of stranded raw materials and work in process inventory determined not to be salvageable or cost-effective to relocate related to the closure of the nine manufacturing facilities in the “Cost of sales” line. In addition, in connection with our consolidation and globalization strategy, in the third quarters of 2008 and 2007, we recognized non-cash charges of $4 million and $12 million, respectively, in the “Cost of sales” line and a non-cash credit of $2 million and a non-cash charge of $1 million, respectively, in the “Selling, general and administrative

expenses” line in the third quarters of 2008 and 2007 related to accelerated depreciation of buildings and equipment for facilities that have been closed or will be closed.

These actions, which are a continuation of our consolidation and 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.

During the third quarter of 2007, we incurred $2 million in restructuring charges which primarily related to employee termination and other benefits associated with previously approved actions for plant closures.

Interest expense, net was lower by $12 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007. The lower interest expense is primarily attributable to a lower weighted average interest rate, $9 million of which resulted from a lower LIBOR and $1 million of which resulted from reduced interest rates achieved through changes in our financing structure such as our accounts receivable securitization that we entered into in November 2007. In addition, interest expense was reduced by $2 million as a result of our net prepayments of long-term debt during 2007 of $178 million. Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 5.80% during the third quarter of 2008 compared to 7.71% in 2007.

During the third quarter of 2008, we terminated an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $250 million and a capped interest rate of 5.75%. At September 27, 2008, we had outstanding interest rate hedging arrangements whereby we have capped the interest rate on $700 million of our floating rate debt at 5.75% and had fixed the interest rate on $600 million of our floating rate debt at 5.04%. Approximately 56% of our total debt outstanding at September 27, 2008 was at a fixed or capped rate.

in the fourth quarter of 2008, the interest rate on $600 million of our floating rate debt will be capped at 3.50% and the interest rate on $1.4 billion of our floating rate debt will be fixed at a weighted average rate of 4.17%.

Our estimated annual effective income tax rate was 24% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 30% in 2007. The lower effective income tax expense is primarily attributable to lower pre-tax income and higher unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries in the third quarter of 2008 taxed at rates less than the U.S. statutory rate. Our estimated annual effective tax rate is reflective of our strategic initiative to make substantial capital investments outside the United States in our global supply chain in 2008.

Overall net sales in the Innerwear segment were higher by $15 million or 2% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007. The higher net sales were primarily due to an increase in the Hanes brand male underwear product category of $23 million, which includes the impact of exiting a license arrangement for a boys’ character underwear program in early 2008 that lowered sales by $4 million. Net sales of our Playtex brand intimate apparel were $11 million higher and net sales of our Bali brand intimate apparel were flat in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007. In addition, we experienced a shift in timing by our largest retail customers of back-to-school programs from June to July in 2008, which primarily impacted our underwear, socks and intimate apparel product categories. The amount of our back-to-school shipments that shifted from June to July 2008 was approximately $25 million. Intimate apparel sales in our secondary brands (barely there, Wonderbra and Just My Size) were lower by $13 million which we believe was primarily attributable to softer sales at retail. In addition, intimate apparel sales in our Hanes brand were lower by $7 million.

As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage in the Innerwear segment was 34.4% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 35.7% in 2007. The lower gross profit is primarily attributable to higher cotton costs of $5 million, higher production costs of $3 million, other vendor price increases of $2 million and higher other manufacturing overhead costs of $2 million. The higher production costs were related to higher energy and oil related costs including freight costs. These factors were partially offset by lower sales incentives of $5 million and lower on-going excess and obsolete inventory costs of $4 million.

The higher Innerwear segment operating profit in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 is primarily attributable to lower media related MAP expenses of $7 million, lower non-media related MAP expenses of $4 million, savings from prior restructuring actions of $2 million and lower technology consulting expenses of $2 million partially offset by lower gross profit and higher bad debt expense of $4 million primarily related to the Mervyn’s bankruptcy. In addition, we incurred higher expenses of $1 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of opening 10 retail stores over the last 12 months. A significant portion of the selling, general and administrative expenses in each segment is an allocation of our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, however certain expenses that are specifically identifiable to a segment are charged directly to each segment. The allocation methodology for the consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2008 is consistent with 2007. Our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses before segment allocations was $2 million higher in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007.

Net sales in the Outerwear segment were slightly lower by $1 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 primarily as a result of higher net sales of Champion brand activewear of $17 million and higher intersegment sales of $3 million offset by lower net sales of retail casualwear of $17 million and lower net sales through our embellishment channel of $6 million, primarily in promotional t-shirts, offset by higher fleece sales.

As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage in the Outerwear segment was 21.1% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 23.6% in 2007. The lower gross profit is primarily attributable to higher cotton costs of $7 million, $6 million of unfavorable timing in cost recognition that is expected to reverse in the fourth quarter, higher production costs of $4 million, other vendor price increases of $1 million and unfavorable product sales mix of $1 million partially offset by savings from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions of $5 million, higher product sales pricing of $3 million and lower on-going excess and obsolete inventory costs of $2 million.

Net sales in the Hosiery segment declined by $14 million or 22%, which was substantially more than the long-term trend primarily due to lower sales of our L’eggs brand to mass retailers and food and drug stores and lower sales of the Hanes brand to national chains and department stores.

During the third quarter of 2008 our net sales were higher, in each case including the impact of foreign currency, in Asia of $5 million, Europe of $4 million and Canada of $3 million. The growth in our European casualwear business was driven by the strength of the Stedman brand that is sold in the embellishment channel. Higher sales in our Champion brand casualwear business in Asia and our Hanes brand male underwear business in Canada also contributed to the sales growth. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact on net sales of $7 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007. The favorable impact was primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro, Japanese yen and Brazilian real.

As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage was 40.1% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 39.2% in 2007. The higher gross profit was primarily attributable to a favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates of $3 million and favorable product sales mix of $3 million.

The higher International segment operating profit in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 is primarily attributable to the higher gross profit partially offset by higher distribution expenses of $1 million. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which are included in the impact on gross profit above, had a favorable impact on segment operating profit of $1 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007.

Overall lower net sales from our Other segment were primarily due to the continued vertical integration of a yarn and fabric operation acquisition from 2006 with less focus on sales of nonfinished fabric and yarn to third parties. We expect this decline to continue during the remainder of this year and sales for this segment to ultimately become insignificant to us. Net sales in this segment are generated for the purpose of maintaining asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities and generating break even margins.

General Corporate Expenses

General corporate expenses were higher in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to $7 million of lower net cost allocations to the segments, a $5 million adjustment that reduced pension expense in 2007 related to the final separation of our pension assets and liabilities from those of Sara Lee, $2 million in amortization of gain on curtailment of postretirement benefits in the third quarter of 2007 which did not recur in 2008 and $2 million in losses from foreign currency derivatives partially offset by $4 million of higher gains on sales of assets, lower start-up and shut down costs associated with our consolidation and globalization of our supply chain of $3 million and $2 million of spin off and related charges recognized in the third quarter of 2007 which did not recur in 2008.

Net sales	$	3,213,653	$	3,315,407	$	(101,754	)		(3.1	)%

Consolidated net sales were lower by $102 million or 3% in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to softer sales at retail which are reflective of a difficult economic and retail environment in which the ultimate consumers of our products have been significantly limiting their discretionary spending and visiting retail stores less frequently. Our Innerwear, Outerwear, Hosiery and Other segment net sales were lower by $87 million (5%), $16 million (2%), $23 million (12%) and $27 million (57%), respectively, and were partially offset by higher net sales in our International segment of $49 million (16%). Although the majority of our products are replenishment in nature and tend to be purchased by consumers on a planned, rather than on an impulse, basis, softness in the retail environment can impact our results in the short-term, as it did in the nine months of 2008.

The lower net sales in our Innerwear segment were primarily due to a decline in the intimate apparel, socks, sleepwear and thermals product categories. Total intimate apparel net sales were $64 million lower in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007. We experienced lower intimate apparel sales in our secondary brands (barely there, Just My Size, and Wonderbra) of $36 million, our Hanes brand of $31 million and our private label brands of $9 million which we believe was primarily attributable to softer sales at retail as noted above. In the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007, our Playtex brand intimate apparel net sales were higher by $16 million and our Bali brand intimate apparel net sales were lower by $4 million. We have experienced higher net sales in our male underwear product category of $3 million, which includes the impact of exiting a license arrangement for a boys’ character underwear program in early 2008 that lowered sales by $11 million. In addition, net sales of socks, sleepwear and thermals product categories were lower in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 by $15 million, $6 million and $6 million, respectively.

In our Outerwear segment, net sales of our Champion brand activewear were higher in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007, and were offset by lower net sales of our casualwear product categories. Net sales in our Hosiery segment declined substantially more than the long-term trend primarily due to lower sales of the Hanes brand to national chains and department stores and our L’eggs brand to mass retailers and food and

drug stores in the nine months of 2008 compared to last year. We expect the trend of declining hosiery sales to continue consistent with the overall decline in the industry and with shifts in consumer preferences.

The overall lower net sales were partially offset by higher net sales in our International segment that were driven by a favorable impact of $31 million related to foreign currency exchange rates and by the growth in our casualwear businesses in Europe and Asia and our male underwear business in Canada. The favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates was primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar and Brazilian real.

As a percent of net sales, our gross profit percentage was 33.2% in the nine months of 2008 compared to 32.6% in 2007. While the gross profit percentage was higher, gross profit dollars were lower for the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 primarily as a result of lower sales. The lower gross profit is primarily attributable to $46 million of lower sales volume, higher cotton costs of $13 million, $11 million of higher production costs related to higher energy and oil related costs including freight costs, unfavorable product sales mix of $7 million, other vendor price increases of $7 million, $6 million of higher freight costs due to a greater use of air freight and $6 million of unfavorable timing in cost recognition that is expected to reverse in the fourth quarter. In addition, in connection with the consolidation and globalization of our supply chain we incurred one-time restructuring related write-offs of stranded raw materials and work in process inventory determined not to be salvageable or cost-effective to relocate of $14 million in 2008 which were offset by lower accelerated depreciation of $18 million.

The cotton prices reflected in our results were 62 cents per pound in the nine months of 2008 as compared to 57 cents per pound in 2007. After taking into consideration the cotton costs currently included in inventory, we expect our cost of cotton to average 66 cents per pound for the full year 2008.

These higher expenses were primarily offset by $31 million of savings from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions, a $13 million favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates, lower sales incentives of $11 million, lower other manufacturing overhead costs of $12 million, lower on-going excess and obsolete inventory costs of $8 million and $4 million of lower start-up and shut down costs associated with our consolidation and globalization of our supply chain. The favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact in our International segment was primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar and Brazilian real.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $2 million higher in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007. Our cost reduction efforts resulted in lower expenses in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 related to savings of $16 million from our prior restructuring actions primarily for compensation and related benefits, lower non-media related MAP expenses of $5 million, lower stock compensation expense of

$4 million and lower accelerated depreciation of $3 million. In addition, spin off and related charges of $3 million recognized in 2007 did not recur in 2008. In addition, our pension income of $8 million was higher by $4 million which included an adjustment that reduced pension expense in 2007 related to the final separation of our pension assets and liabilities from those of Sara Lee.

Our media related MAP expenses were $4 million higher in the nine months of 2008 primarily to support the launch of Hanes No Ride Up Panties and marketing initiatives for Champion and Playtex in the first half of 2008. MAP expenses may vary from period to period during a fiscal year depending on the timing of our advertising campaigns for retail selling seasons and product introductions. We experienced higher technology consulting and related expenses of $11 million, higher computer software amortization of $4 million, higher distribution expenses of $5 million and higher bad debt expense of $7 million primarily related to the Mervyn’s bankruptcy in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007. Approximately half of the higher distribution expenses in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 were postage and freight related and the other half related to rework expenses in our distribution centers. We also incurred higher expenses of $2 million in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of opening 10 retail stores over the last 12 months. In addition, we incurred $6 million in amortization of gain on curtailment of postretirement benefits in the nine months of 2007 which did not recur in 2008.

Our cost reduction efforts have allowed us to offset higher investments in our strategic initiatives of higher technology consulting expenses of $6 million and higher MAP expenses of $4 million during the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007.

During the nine month period in 2008, we approved actions to close 11 manufacturing facilities and two distribution centers and eliminate approximately 9,400 positions in El Salvador, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras and the United States during the next twelve months. The production capacity represented by the manufacturing facilities will be relocated to lower cost locations in Asia, the Caribbean Basin and Central America. The distribution capacity will be relocated to our West Coast distribution facility in California in order to expand capacity for goods we source from Asia. We recorded a charge of $25 million that was primarily attributable to employee termination and other benefits recognized in accordance with benefit plans previously communicated to the affected employee group and $9 million in charges related to exiting supply contracts, which was partially offset by a $2 million favorable settlement of a lease obligation for a lower amount than previously estimated.

In the nine months of 2008, we recorded $14 million in one-time write-offs of stranded raw materials and work in process inventory determined not to be salvageable or cost-effective to relocate related to the closure of manufacturing facilities in the “Cost of sales” line. In addition, in connection with our consolidation and globalization strategy, in the nine months in 2008 and 2007, we recognized non-cash charges of $11 million and $29 million, respectively, in the “Cost of sales” line and a non-cash credit of $1 million and a non-cash charge of $2 million, respectively, in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the nine months of 2008 and 2007 related to accelerated depreciation of buildings and equipment for facilities that have been closed or will be closed.

During the same nine months of 2007, we incurred $45 million in restructuring charges which primarily related to a charge of $35 million related to employee termination and other benefits associated with plant

closures approved during that period and the elimination of certain management and administrative positions and a $10 million charge for estimated lease termination costs associated with facility closures.

Interest expense, net was lower by $37 million in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007. The lower interest expense is primarily attributable to a lower weighted average interest rate, $25 million of which resulted from a lower LIBOR and $4 million of which resulted from reduced interest rates achieved through changes in our financing structure such as the February 2007 amendment to our senior secured credit facility and our accounts receivable securitization that we entered into in November 2007. In addition, interest expense was reduced by $8 million as a result of our net prepayments of long-term debt during 2007 of $178 million. Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 6.17% during the nine months of 2008 compared to 7.82% in 2007.

During and subsequent to the third quarter of 2008, we entered into additional interest rate hedging arrangements that will become effective during the fourth quarter of 2008 that, combined with expirations of other portions of our interest rate derivative portfolio, will result in approximately 86% of our floating rate debt bearing interest at a fixed or capped rate. Once these interest rate hedging arrangements become effective in the fourth quarter of 2008, the interest rate on $600 million of our floating rate debt will be capped at 3.50% and the interest rate on $1.4 billion of our floating rate debt will be fixed at a weighted average rate of 4.17%.

Our estimated annual effective income tax rate was 24% in the nine months of 2008 compared to 30% in 2007. The higher income tax expense is attributable primarily to higher pre-tax income partially offset by a lower effective income tax rate. The lower effective income tax rate is primarily due to higher unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries in the nine months of 2008 taxed at rates less than the U.S. statutory rate. Our estimated annual effective tax rate is reflective of our strategic initiative to make substantial capital investments outside the United States in our global supply chain in 2008.

Overall net sales in the Innerwear segment were lower by $87 million or 5% in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007. The lower net sales in our Innerwear segment were primarily due to a decline in the intimate apparel, socks, thermals and sleepwear product categories. We experienced softer sales at retail which resulted in lower intimate apparel sales in our secondary brands (barely there, Just My Size and Wonderbra) of $36 million, lower Hanes brand intimate apparel sales of $31 million and lower sales of private label brands of $9 million. In the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007, our Playtex brand intimate apparel net sales were higher by $16 million offset by lower Bali brand intimate apparel net sales of $4 million. Lower net sales in our socks product category reflects a decline in our Hanes brand of $10 million and Champion brand of $5 million. In addition, net sales of sleepwear and thermals product categories were each lower in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 by $6 million. Net sales were higher in our male underwear product category by $3 million, which includes the impact of exiting a license arrangement for a boys’ character underwear program in early 2008 that lowered sales by $11 million.

As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage in the Innerwear segment was 37.1% in the nine months of 2008 compared to 37.6% in 2007. The lower gross profit is attributable to lower sales volume of $37 million, unfavorable product sales mix of $17 million, $7 million of higher freight costs due to a greater use of air freight, higher production costs of $5 million, lower product sales pricing of $5 million, higher cotton costs of $5 million, other vendor price increases of $4 million and higher other manufacturing overhead costs of $2 million. The higher production costs were related to higher energy and oil related costs including freight costs. These higher costs were offset by $18 million of savings from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions, lower sales incentives of $12 million and lower on-going excess and obsolete inventory costs of $9 million.

The lower Innerwear segment operating profit in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 is primarily attributable to lower gross profit, higher technology consulting and related expenses of $6 million, higher bad debt expense of $4 million primarily related to the Mervyn’s bankruptcy and higher distribution expenses of $2 million partially offset by savings from prior restructuring actions of $11 million, lower non-media related MAP expenses of $4 million and lower spending in various areas of $2 million. In addition, we incurred higher expenses of $2 million in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of opening 10 retail stores over the last 12 months. A significant portion of the selling, general and administrative expenses in each segment is an allocation of our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, however certain expenses that are specifically identifiable to a segment are charged directly to each segment. The allocation methodology for the consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months of 2008 is consistent with 2007. Our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses before segment allocations was $2 million higher in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007.

Net sales in the Outerwear segment were lower by $16 million or 2% in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 primarily as a result of lower net sales of retail casualwear of $29 million and lower net sales through our embellishment channel of $16 million, primarily in promotional t-shirts, offset by higher

fleece sales. These decreases were offset by higher net sales of Champion brand activewear of $28 million and higher intersegment sales of $2 million.

As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage in the Outerwear segment was 23.1% in the nine months of 2008 compared to 21.7% in 2007. The improvement in gross profit is primarily attributable to savings from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions of $11 million, favorable product sales mix of $11 million, lower other manufacturing overhead costs of $11 million, higher product sales pricing of $5 million and lower freight costs of $2 million. These lower costs were partially offset by higher cotton costs of $8 million, higher production costs of $6 million, $6 million of unfavorable timing in cost recognition that is expected to reverse in the fourth quarter, higher on-going excess and obsolete inventory costs of $4 million, lower sales volume of $4 million, higher sales incentives of $2 million and other vendor price increases of $1 million. The higher production costs were related to higher energy and oil related costs including freight costs.

The higher Outerwear segment operating profit in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 is primarily attributable to higher gross profit and savings from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions of $5 million partially offset by higher technology consulting and related expenses of $4 million, higher distribution expenses of $3 million, higher bad debt expense of $2 million primarily related to the Mervyn’s bankruptcy, higher media-related MAP expenses of $1 million and higher non-media related MAP expenses of $1 million. A significant portion of the selling, general and administrative expenses in each segment is an allocation of our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, however certain expenses that are specifically identifiable to a segment are charged directly to each segment. The allocation methodology for the consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months of 2008 is consistent with 2007.

Net sales in the Hosiery segment declined by $23 million or 12%, which was substantially more than the long-term trend primarily due to lower sales of the Hanes brand to national chains and department stores and the L’eggs brand to mass retailers and food and drug stores. We expect the trend of declining hosiery sales to continue consistent with the overall decline in the industry and with shifts in consumer preferences.

As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage was 48.6% in the nine months of 2008 compared to 46.7% in 2007. While the gross profit percentage was higher, gross profit dollars were lower for the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of unfavorable product sales mix of $9 million, lower sales volume of $6 million and other vendor price increases of $2 million partially offset by savings from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions of $3 million, lower sales incentives of $3 million, lower other manufacturing overhead costs of $2 million and lower on-going excess and obsolete inventory costs of $2 million.

Hosiery segment operating profit was flat in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to lower distribution expenses of $3 million and savings from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions of $2 million and lower non-media related MAP expenses of $1 million partially offset by the lower gross profit. A significant portion of the selling, general and administrative expenses in each segment is an allocation of our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, however certain expenses that are specifically identifiable to a segment are charged directly to each segment. The allocation methodology for the consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months of 2008 is consistent with 2007.

Our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses before segment allocations was $2 million higher in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007.

Overall net sales in the International segment were higher by $49 million or 16% in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007. During the nine months of 2008, our net sales were higher, in each case including the impact of foreign currency, in Europe of $19 million, Asia of $12 million, Canada of $11 million, and Latin America of $8 million. The growth in our European casualwear business was driven by the strength of the Stedman brand that is sold in the embellishment channel. Higher sales in our Champion brand casualwear business in Asia and our Hanes brand male underwear business in Canada also contributed to the sales growth. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact on net sales of $31 million in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007. The favorable impact was primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar and Brazilian real.

As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage was 40.9% in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 at 41.1%. While the gross profit percentage was lower, gross profit dollars were higher for the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of a favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates of $13 million and favorable product sales mix of $8 million partially offset by higher sales incentives of $2 million.

The higher International segment operating profit in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 is primarily attributable to the higher gross profit partially offset by higher distribution expenses of $2 million, higher media-related MAP expenses of $1 million and $2 million of slightly higher spending in numerous areas. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which are included in the impact on gross profit above, had a favorable impact on segment operating profit of $5 million in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007.

Overall lower net sales from our Other segment were primarily due to the continued vertical integration of a yarn and fabric operation acquisition from 2006 with less focus on sales of nonfinished fabric and yarn to third parties. We expect this decline to continue during the remainder of this year and sales of this segment to ultimately become insignificant to us. Net sales in this segment are generated for the purpose of maintaining asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities and generating break even margins.

General Corporate Expenses

General corporate expenses were lower in the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to $5 million of higher gains on sales of assets, $4 million of higher net cost allocations to the segments, $4 million of lower start-up and shut-down costs associated with our consolidation and globalization of our supply chain, $3 million of spin off and related charges recognized in the nine months of 2007 which did not recur in 2008 and $2 million of higher foreign exchange transaction gains partially offset by $6 million in amortization of gain on curtailment of postretirement benefits in the nine months of 2007 which did not recur

in 2008, a $5 million adjustment that reduced pension expense in 2007 related to the final separation of our pension assets and liabilities from those of Sara Lee and $2 million in losses from foreign currency derivatives.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Trends and Uncertainties Affecting Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash generated by operations and availability under our revolving loan facility and our international loan facilities. At September 27, 2008, we have $443 million of borrowing availability under our $500 million revolving loan facility (after taking into account outstanding letters of credit), $86 million in cash and cash equivalents and $47 million of borrowing availability under our international loan facilities. We currently believe that our existing cash balances and cash generated by operations, together with our available credit capacity, will enable us to comply with the terms of our indebtedness and meet foreseeable liquidity requirements.

The following has or is expected to impact liquidity:


	•	we have principal and interest obligations under our long-term debt;

	•	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 anticipate that we will decrease the portion of the income of our foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the United States, which could significantly decrease our effective income tax rate; and

	•	we have the authority to repurchase up to 10 million shares of our stock in the open market over the next few years, 2.8 million of which we have repurchased as of September 27, 2008.

We expect to be able to manage our working capital levels and capital expenditure amounts so as to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity. Depending on conditions in the capital markets and other factors, we will from time to time consider other financing transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to refinance current indebtedness or for other purposes. We continue to monitor the impact, if any, of the current conditions in the credit markets on our operations. Our access to financing at reasonable interest rates could become influenced by the economic and credit market environment. Deterioration in the capital markets, which has caused many financial institutions to seek additional capital, merge with larger and stronger financial institutions and, in some cases, fail, has led to concerns about the stability of financial institutions. We currently hold interest rate cap and swap derivative instruments to mitigate a portion of our interest rate risk and hold foreign exchange rate derivative instruments to mitigate the potential impact of currency fluctuations. Credit risk is the exposure to nonperformance of another party to an agreement. We mitigate credit risk by dealing with highly rated bank counterparties. We believe that our exposures are appropriately diversified across counterparties and that these counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions. Accordingly, we do not anticipate nonperformance by our counterparties.

Given the recent turmoil in the financial and credit markets, we have expanded our interest rate hedging portfolio at what we believe to be advantageous rates that are expected to minimize our overall interest rate risk. Approximately 56% of our total debt outstanding at September 27, 2008 was at a fixed or capped LIBOR rate. During and subsequent to the third quarter of 2008, we entered into additional interest rate hedging arrangements that will become effective during the fourth quarter of 2008 and that, combined with expirations of other portions of our interest rate derivative portfolio, will result in approximately 86% of our floating rate debt bearing interest at a fixed or capped LIBOR rate. The table below summarizes our interest rate derivative

portfolio with respect to our long-term debt that will be effective in the fourth quarter of 2008 which takes into consideration derivatives that become effective and expire subsequent to the third quarter of 2008.

In May 2008, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services raised its corporate credit rating for us to BB- from B+, and also raised our bank loan and unsecured debt ratings. Standard & Poor’s stated that the rating upgrade reflects our positive operating momentum as a stand-alone entity since our spin-off from Sara Lee in September 2006, and also stated that our credit protection measures and operating results have improved and are in line with Standard & Poor’s expectations. Standard & Poor’s also noted that management is on track in executing our strategies. Standard & Poor’s current outlook for us is “stable.”

Consolidation and Globalization Strategy

We expect to continue our restructuring efforts as we continue to execute our consolidation and globalization strategy. 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 in the short-term and generate savings as well as higher inventory levels for a period of time. As further plans are developed and approved by management and in some cases our board of directors, we expect to recognize additional restructuring to eliminate duplicative functions within the organization and transition a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity to lower-cost locations.

While capital spending could vary significantly from year to year, we anticipate that our capital spending over the next three years could be as high as $500 million as we execute our supply chain consolidation and globalization strategy and complete the integration and consolidation of our technology systems. Capital spending in any given year over the next three years could be as high as $100 million in excess of our annual depreciation and amortization expense until the completion of actions related to our globalization strategy at which time we would expect our annual capital spending to be relatively comparable to our annual depreciation and amortization expense. The majority of our capital spending will be focused on growing our supply chain operations in Central America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia. These locations will enable us to expand and leverage our large production scale as we balance our supply chain across hemispheres.

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 facilities outside the United States, 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.

Rising Input Costs and Inflation

Our costs for cotton yarn and cotton-based textiles vary based upon the fluctuating cost of cotton, which is affected by weather, consumer demand, speculation on the commodities market, the relative valuations and fluctuations of the currencies of producer versus consumer countries and other factors that are generally unpredictable and beyond our control. While we do enter into short-term supply agreements and hedges in an attempt to protect our business from the volatility of the market price of cotton, our business can be affected by dramatic movements in cotton prices, although cotton has historically represented only 6% of our cost of sales. Cotton prices were 62 cents per pound for the nine months ended September 27, 2008 and 57 cents per pound for the nine months ended September 29, 2007. Taking into consideration the cotton costs currently included in inventory, we expect our cost of cotton to average 66 cents per pound for the full year 2008. The price of cotton currently in our inventory has risen to the mid 70 cents per pound range which is the price that will impact our operating results in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009. The prices for the most recent cotton crop, which will impact our operating results in mid 2009, have decreased to the 50 cents per pound range. In addition, we continue to experience cost inflation with regards to oil related and other raw materials used in our products, such as dyes and chemicals, and increases in other costs, such as fuel, energy and utility costs.

Our ability to sell our products at competitive prices is subject to certain economic factors, some of which are beyond our control. A sustained trend of significantly increased inflationary pressure could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Inflation can have a long-term impact on us because increasing costs of materials and labor may impact our ability to maintain satisfactory margins. In this regard, a significant portion of our products are manufactured in other countries and a further decline in the value of the U.S. dollar may result in higher manufacturing costs. Similarly, the cost of the materials that are used in our manufacturing process, such as cotton, are increasing as a result of inflation and other factors. In addition, inflation often is accompanied by higher interest rates, which could have a negative impact on spending, in which case our margins could decrease. Moreover, increases in inflation may not be matched by rises in income, which also could have a negative impact on spending. If we incur increased costs that are unable to be recouped, or if consumer spending decreases generally, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be adversely affected. In an effort to mitigate the impact of these incremental costs on our operating results, we have informed our retail customers that we are raising domestic prices effective during the first quarter of 2009. We are implementing an average gross price increase of four percent in our domestic product categories. The range of price increases varies by individual product category.

Although the majority of our products are replenishment in nature and tend to be purchased by consumers on a planned, rather than on an impulse, basis, our sales are impacted by discretionary spending by our customers. Discretionary spending is affected by many factors, including, among others, general business conditions, interest rates, inflation, consumer debt levels, the availability of consumer credit, currency exchange rates, taxation, electricity power rates, gasoline prices, unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending. Many of these factors are outside of our control. Our customers’ purchases of discretionary items, including our products, could decline during periods when disposable income is lower, when prices increase in response to rising costs, or in periods of actual or perceived unfavorable economic conditions. For example, we are experiencing increased inflationary pressure on our product costs. The increase in our product costs may not be offset by comparable rises in the income of consumers of our products. These consumers may choose to purchase fewer of our products or lower-priced products of our competitors in response to higher prices for our products, or may choose not to purchase our products at prices that reflect our domestic price increases that will become effective during the first quarter of 2009. If any of these events occur, or if unfavorable economic conditions continue to challenge the consumer environment, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Pension Plans

Our U.S. qualified pension plans are currently estimated at approximately 88% funded which should result in minimal pension funding requirements in the future. The funded status reflects a significant decrease in the fair value of plan assets due to the stock market’s performance during 2008. Due to the current funded status of the plans, we are not required to make any material mandatory contributions to our pension plans in 2008.

Consolidated Cash Flows

The information presented below regarding the sources and uses of our cash flows for the nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007 was derived from our consolidated financial statements.


	Nine Months Ended

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $19 million in the nine months of 2008 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $236 million in 2007. The net change in cash from operating activities of $255 million for the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 is attributable to the higher uses of our working capital which was primarily driven by changes in inventory. Inventory grew $243 million from December 2007 primarily due to increases in levels needed to service our business over the next eighteen months as we execute our consolidation and globalization strategy which had an impact of approximately $185 million. In addition, cost increases for inputs such as cotton, oil and freight were approximately $52 million and the currency impact was approximately $6 million. We continually monitor our inventory levels to best balance current supply and demand with potential future demand that typically surges when consumers no longer postpone purchases in our product categories.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $110 million in the nine months of 2008 compared to $50 million in 2007. The higher net cash used in investing activities of $60 million for the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily the result of higher capital expenditures. During the nine month period in 2008 capital expenditures were $123 million as we continue to build out our textile and sewing network in Central America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia and invest in our technology strategic initiatives. Also, we received cash proceeds from sales of assets of $24 million, primarily from dispositions of plant and equipment associated with our restructuring initiatives. In addition, we acquired a sewing operation in Thailand for $10 million during 2008.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $41 million in the nine months of 2008 compared to cash used in financing activities of $168 million in 2007. The higher net cash provided by financing activities of $209 million for the nine months of 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily the result of higher net borrowings on notes payable of $49 million, repayments of $128 million of principal under our senior secured credit facility in 2007, the receipt from Sara Lee of $18 million in cash in 2008 and lower stock repurchases of $14 million.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of September 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, cash and cash equivalents were $86 million and $174 million, respectively. The lower cash and cash equivalents as of September 27, 2008 was primarily the result of net capital expenditures of $99 million, $30 million of stock repurchases, the acquisition of a sewing operation in Thailand for $10 million and $19 million related to other uses of working capital partially offset by $52 million of net borrowings on notes payable and the receipt from Sara Lee of $18 million in cash.

Critical Accounting Policies and 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 Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007.

The application of critical 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 critical 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007. There have been no material changes during the nine months ended September 27, 2008 in these policies.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 was effective for our financial assets and liabilities on December 30, 2007. The FASB approved a one-year deferral of the adoption of SFAS 157 as it relates to non-financial assets and liabilities with the issuance in February 2008 of FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, as a result of which implementation by us is now required on January 4, 2009. The partial adoption of SFAS 157 in the first quarter ended March 29, 2008 had no material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, but resulted in certain additional disclosures reflected in Note 9 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 as it relates to our non-financial assets and liabilities.

SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques noted in SFAS 157. The three valuation techniques are as follows:


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

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

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

We primarily apply the market approach for commodity derivatives and the income approach for interest rate and foreign currency derivatives for recurring fair value measurements and attempt to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

As of September 27, 2008, we held certain financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These consisted of our derivative instruments related to interest rates, foreign exchange rates and cotton. The fair values of cotton derivatives are determined based on quoted prices in public markets and are categorized as Level 1. The fair values of interest rate and foreign exchange rate derivatives are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2. We do not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3, and there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2008. There were no changes during the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2008 to our valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis.

As required by SFAS 157, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The determination of fair values incorporates various factors required under SFAS 157. These factors include not only the credit standing of the counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements, but also the impact of our nonperformance risk on our liabilities.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). The objective of SFAS 141R is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a company provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. Under SFAS 141R, a company would be required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies and contingent consideration measured at their fair value at the acquisition date. It further requires that research and development assets acquired in a business combination that have no alternative future use be measured at their acquisition-date fair value and then immediately charged to expense, and that acquisition-related costs are to be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred. Among other changes, this statement would also require that “negative goodwill” be recognized in earnings as a gain attributable to the acquisition, and any deferred tax benefits resulting from a business combination be recognized in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements

improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a company provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 requires a company to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section but separate from the company’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; that changes in ownership interest be accounted for similarly, as equity transactions; and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities


Item 3.	*Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk*

We are required under our senior secured credit facility and our second lien credit facility to hedge a portion of our floating rate debt to reduce interest rate risk caused by floating rate debt issuance. At September 27, 2008, we have outstanding hedging arrangements whereby we capped the interest rate on $700 million of our floating rate debt at 5.75%. We also entered into interest rate swaps tied to the 3-month and 6-month LIBOR rates whereby we fixed the interest rate on an aggregate of $600 million of our floating rate debt. Approximately 56% of our total debt outstanding at September 27, 2008 is at a fixed or capped rate. Due to the recent significant changes in the credit markets, the fair values of our interest rate hedging instruments have decreased approximately $6.7 million and $7.2 million during the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2008, respectively. This activity has been deferred into Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged transactions impact our earnings.

Subsequent to September 27, 2008, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount totaling $400 million, as a result of which we have fixed LIBOR on a portion of our outstanding debt at 2.80% for a 2-year term. These agreements will become effective during the fourth quarter of 2008 and, when combined with expirations of other portions of our interest rate derivative portfolio, will result in approximately 86% of our floating rate debt bearing interest at a fixed or capped rate. Once these interest rate hedging arrangements become effective in the fourth quarter of 2008, the LIBOR interest rate component on $600 million of our floating rate debt will be capped at 3.50% and the LIBOR interest rate component on $1.4 billion of our floating rate debt will be fixed at a weighted average rate of 4.17%.

Cotton is the primary raw material we use to manufacture many of our products. While we attempt to protect our business from the volatility of the market price of cotton through short-term supply agreements and hedges, our business can be adversely affected by dramatic movements in cotton prices. The price of cotton currently in our inventory has risen to the mid 70 cents per pound range which is the price that will impact our operating results in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009. The prices for the most recent cotton crop, which will impact our operating results in mid 2009, have decreased to the 50 cents per pound range. The ultimate effect of these pricing levels on our earnings cannot be quantified, as the effect of movements in cotton prices on industry selling prices are uncertain, but any dramatic increase in the price of cotton could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

There have been no other significant changes in our market risk exposures from those described in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007.


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.


Item 1A.	*Risk Factors*

Current economic conditions may adversely impact demand for our products, reduce access to credit and cause our customers and others with which we do business to suffer financial hardship, all of which could adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Worldwide economic conditions have recently deteriorated significantly in many countries and regions, including the United States, and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. Although the majority of our products are replenishment in nature and tend to be purchased by consumers on a planned, rather than on an impulse, basis, our sales are impacted by discretionary spending by our customers. Discretionary spending is affected by many factors, including, among others, general business conditions, interest rates, inflation, consumer debt levels, the availability of consumer credit, currency exchange rates, taxation, electricity power rates, gasoline prices, unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending. Many of these factors are outside of our control. Our customers’ purchases of discretionary items, including our products, could decline during periods when disposable income is lower, when prices increase in response to rising costs, or in periods of actual or perceived unfavorable economic conditions. For example, we are experiencing increased inflationary pressure on our product costs. The increase in our product costs may not be offset by comparable rises in the income of consumers of our products. These consumers may choose to purchase fewer of our products or lower-priced products of our competitors in response to higher prices for our products, or may choose not to purchase our products at prices that reflect our domestic price increases that become effective from time to time. If any of these events occur, or if unfavorable economic conditions continue to challenge the consumer environment, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.

In addition, economic conditions, including decreased access to credit, may result in financial difficulties leading to restructurings, bankruptcies, liquidations and other unfavorable events for our customers, suppliers of raw materials and finished goods, logistics and other service providers and financial institutions which are counterparties to our credit facilities and derivatives transactions. In addition, the ability of these third parties to overcome these difficulties may increase. For example, one of our customers, Mervyn’s, a regional retailer in California and the Southwest that originally filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 in July 2008, announced on October 17, 2008 its intention to wind down its business and conduct going-out-of-business sales at 149 remaining store locations under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The impact of this disclosure by Mervyn’s led us to take a $5.5 million charge in the third quarter. If third parties on which we rely for raw materials, finished goods or services are unable to overcome difficulties resulting from the deterioration in worldwide economic conditions and provide us with the materials and services we need, or if counterparties to our credit facilities or derivatives transactions do not perform their obligations, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.
