FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statementscontains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.1934 (the “Exchange Act”). 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. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements regarding our intent, belief and current expectations about our strategic direction, prospects and future results are forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. In particular, statements underwith respect to trends associated with our business, our Full Potential plan, our future financial performance and the heading “Outlook” and other informationpotential effects of the ongoing global novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q specifically appearing under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” include 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, expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or will 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 this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,January 2, 2021, under the caption “Risk Factors,” and available on the “Investors” section of our corporate website, www.Hanes.com/investors.
All forward-looking statements speak only as The contents of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q andour corporate website are expressly qualified in their entiretynot incorporated by the cautionary statements includedreference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, particularly under the caption “Risk Factors.” We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence10-Q.

(1)    Basis of Presentation
(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 condition 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 interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein. The preparation of condensed consolidated interim 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. Three subsidiaries of the Company close on the calendar month-end, which is less than a week different than the Company’s consolidated quarter end. The difference in reporting of financial information for these subsidiaries did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
As a result of further policy harmonization related to acquired businesses, 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. The reclassification on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is between the “Trade accounts receivable, net” line and the “Accrued liabilities” line of $22,746 as of December 31, 2016. The reclassification on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow is between the “Accounts Receivable” and the “Accrued liabilities and other” line of $2,744 for the nine months ended October 1, 2016. This reclassification had no impact on the Company’s results of operations.
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.10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021. The year endyear-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
In the first quarter of 2021, the Company announced that as part of its strategic plan, it was exploring alternatives for its European Innerwear business and subsequently reached the decision to exit this business. The Company determined that its European Innerwear business met held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Accordingly, the Company began to separately report the results of its European Innerwear business as discontinued operations in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and to present the related assets and liabilities as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes have been applied to all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, discussion within these notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements relates to continuing operations. See note “Discontinued Operations” for additional information.

The new accounting rules also simplify accounting for franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017.2021. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or cash flows.disclosures.

The amendments in this standard which can be adopted prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis, was effective forany time before the Company in the firstfourth quarter of 2017. Also in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments”, which clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, a new accounting standard on revenue recognition that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 and can be applied using a modified retrospective or full retrospective method. The Company has established an implementation team consisting of finance, accounting and front-end business partners to analyze the impact of the guidance across all of its revenue sources. The Company has evaluated the new standard against its existing accounting policies and practices, including reviewing standard purchase orders, invoices, shipping terms, conducting questionnaires with our global team and reviewing contracts with customers. The Company has not identified any information that would indicate that the new guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company expects to have enhanced disclosures related to disaggregation of revenue sources and accounting policies. The Company expects to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method.
Statement of Cash Flows
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. Issues addressed in the new guidance that are relevant to the Company include debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows.
Income Taxes
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory”. The new rules eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory, which aligns the recognition of income tax consequences for such transfers. The new rules require the recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from these transfers when the transfer occurs rather than when it is sold to an external party. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Definition of a Business
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. The new rules provide for the application of a screen test to consider whether substantially all the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen test determines this to be true, the set is not a business. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Compensation Retirement Benefits
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost”. The new rules require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Stock Compensation
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”. The new rules provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The new rules simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair valuefirst quarter of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount. The new rules will be effective for2021, the Company announced that as part of its strategic plan, it was exploring alternatives for its European Innerwear business and subsequently reached the decision to exit this business. The Company determined that its European Innerwear business met held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Accordingly, the Company began to separately report the results of its European Innerwear business as discontinued operations in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and to present the related assets and liabilities as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes have been applied to all periods presented. The Company is actively marketing the business to prospective buyers and expects to complete the sale of this business before the end of the first quarter of 2022.
The operations of the European Innerwear business were previously reported primarily in the International segment.

Discontinued operations does not include any allocation of corporate overhead expense or interest expense.
Upon meeting the criteria for held for sale classification which qualified as a triggering event, the Company performed a full impairment analysis of the disposal group's indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. As a result of the strategic decision to exit the European Innerwear business, a strategic review was completed in the first quarter of 2020.2021 with revised forecasts to include updated market conditions and the removal of strategic operating decisions that would no longer occur under the Company's ownership. The revised forecasts indicated impairment charges of certain indefinite-lived trademarks and license agreements as well as the full goodwill balance.

Champion Europe
On(1)Amounts at January 2, 2021 and June 30, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of Champion Europe S.p.A. (“Champion Europe”), which owns the trademark for the Champion brand in Europe, the Middle East27, 2020 have been classified as current and Africa, from certain individual shareholders in an all-cash transaction valued at €220,751 ($245,554) on an enterprise value basis, less working capital adjustments as definedlong-term in the purchase agreement, which included €40,700 ($45,277) in estimated contingent consideration. US dollar equivalents are based on acquisition date exchange rates. The Company funded the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and a portion of the net proceeds from the 3.5% Senior Notes issued in June 2016.
The estimated contingent consideration is included in the “Accrued liabilities” line in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and is based on 10 times Champion Europe’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) in excess of €18,600, calculated as defined by the purchase agreement, for the calendar year 2016 and is payable in 2017. The contingent consideration is required to be revalued each reporting period until paid. At September 30, 2017, the contingent consideration payment was pending finalization of Champion Europe’s calendar year 2016 EBITDA calculation in accordance with the purchase agreement. On April 28, 2017, an initial payment of €37,820 ($41,250) was made to the sellers towards the contingent consideration liability, which represents the mutually agreed portion of the contingent consideration. Management continues to evaluate and discuss the proposed adjustments to the EBITDA calculation with the sellers and believes the remaining accrual is consistent with management’s expectations for any additional amount that will be due in connection with the contingent consideration. In addition to the initial payment, additional contingent consideration payments could total up to approximately €46,600.

potential covenant violation in order to modify the financial covenants and to provide operating flexibility during the COVID-19 crisis. The amendment changed certain provisions and covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility through the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2021, after which the covenants were to revert to their original, pre-amendment levels. The Company voluntarily terminated the covenant relief amendment when it submitted its April 3, 2021 compliance certificate in order to reduce interest expense and increase flexibility for restricted payments, investments, indebtedness, and permitted acquisitions. After termination, the covenants reverted to their original, pre-amendment levels for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2021.
As of September 30, 2017,July 3, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit facilities.facilities and other outstanding indebtedness. Under the terms of its Senior Secured Credit Facility, among other financial and non-financial covenants, the Company is required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. The interest coverage ratio covenant is the ratio of the Company’s EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters to its consolidated total interest expense and the maximum leverage ratio covenant is the ratio of the Company’s net debt to EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation expense and amortization, as computed pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
The Company expects to maintain compliance with its covenants for at least one year from the date of these financial statements based on its current expectations and forecasts. If economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic do not continue to improve or otherwise worsen, including as a result of any new virus variants or vaccine distribution or efficacy, and the Company’s earnings and operating cash flows do not continue to recover as currently estimated by management, this could impact the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with its financial covenants and require the Company to seek additional amendments to its Senior Secured Credit Facility. If the Company is not able to obtain such necessary additional amendments, this would lead to an event of default and, if not cured timely, its lenders could require the Company to repay its outstanding debt. In that situation, the Company may not be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay the lenders.

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts and cross-currency swap contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on short-term foreign currency-denominated transactions, foreign currency-denominated investments and other known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.
On April 1, 2021, in connection with a reduction in the amount of the 3.5% Senior Notes designated in the European net investment hedge discussed below, the Company entered into 3 pay-fixed rate, receive-fixed rate cross-currency swap contracts with a total notional amount of €300,000. The Company designated these cross-currency swap contracts to hedge the undesignated portion of the foreign currency cash flow exposure related to the Company’s 3.5% Senior Notes, which had a carrying amount of €500,000 as of July 3, 2021. These cross-currency swap contracts, which mature on June 15, 2024, swap Euro-denominated interest payments for U.S. dollar-denominated interest payments, thereby economically converting €300,000 of the Company’s €500,000 fixed-rate 3.5% Senior Notes to a fixed-rate 4.7945% USD-denominated obligation.
The Company expects to reclassify into earnings during the next 12 months a net loss from AOCI of approximately $16,432.

Net Investment Hedges
In July 2019, the Company entered into 2 pay-fixed rate, receive-fixed rate cross-currency swap contracts with a total notional amount of €300,000 that were designated as hedges of a portion of the beginning balance of the Company’s net investment in certain European subsidiaries. These cross-currency swap contracts, which mature on May 15, 2024, swap U.S. dollar-denominated interest payments for Euro-denominated interest payments, thereby economically converting a portion of the Company’s fixed-rate 4.625% Senior Notes to a fixed-rate 2.3215% Euro-denominated obligation.
In July 2019, the Company also designated the full amount of its 3.5% Senior Notes with a carrying value of €500,000, which is a nonderivative financial instrument, as a hedge of a portion of the beginning balance of the Company’s European net investment. As of April 1, 2021, the Company reduced the amount of its 3.5% Senior Notes designated in the European net investment hedge from €500,000 to €200,000. As of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the U.S. dollar equivalent carrying value of Euro-denominated long-term debt designated as a partial European net investment hedge was $237,304 and $610,724, respectively.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated AsMark to Market Hedges
A derivative used as a hedging instrument whose change in fair value is recognized to act as a hedge against changes in the values of the hedged item is designated as a mark to market hedge. The Company uses forward foreign exchange derivative contracts as economic hedges against the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on existing accounts receivable and payable balances and intercompany lending transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Forward foreign exchange derivative contracts are recorded as mark to market hedges when the hedged item is a recorded asset or liability that is revalued in each accounting period. These contracts are not designated as hedges under the accounting standards and are recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.Sheets. Any gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized directly into earnings. Gains or losses on these contracts largely offset the net remeasurement gains or losses on the related assets and liabilities.

(10)    Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
As of September 30, 2017,July 3, 2021, 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 forward foreign exchange rates,derivative contracts, cross-currency swap derivative contracts and deferred compensation plan liabilities and contingent consideration resulting from the Champion Europe acquisition.liabilities. The fair values of forward foreign currency derivativesexchange derivative contracts are determined using the cash flows of the foreign exchange contract,forward contracts, discount rates to account for the passage of time and current foreign exchange market data which are all based on inputs readily available in public markets and are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of cross-currency swap derivative contracts are determined using the cash flows of the swap contracts, discount rates to account for the passage of time, current foreign exchange and interest rate market data and credit risk, which are all based on inputs readily available in public markets and are categorized as Level 2. The fair value of deferred compensation plans is based on readily available current market data and is categorized as Level 2. The fair value of the contingent consideration obligation was determined by applying a multiple of 10 times Champion Europe’s EBITDA for calendar year 2016 in excess of €18,600, as defined per the purchase agreement, as further described in Note 3 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, and is categorized as Level 3. An initial payment of €37,820 was made on April 28, 2017 to the sellers, which represents the mutually agreed portion of the contingent consideration. The remaining contingent consideration obligation will be revalued each reporting period until the related contingencies are resolved, with any adjustments to the fair value recognized in earnings. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan investments are not required to be measured at fair value on a quarterly recurring basis.

Overview
We areHanesbrands Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a consumer goods company with a portfoliosocially responsible leading marketer of leadingeveryday basic innerwear and activewear apparel in the Americas, Australia, Europe and Asia/Pacific under some of the world’s strongest apparel brands, including Hanes,, Champion,, DIM, Bonds, Bali, Maidenform,, Playtex,, Bonds, Bali, JMS/ Bras N Things, JMS/Just My Size,, Nur Die/Nur Der, Wonderbra, Alternative, Berlei, L’eggs, Lovable, Wonderbra, Flexees, Berlei, Lilyette andGear for Sports. We design, manufacture, source and sell a broad range of basic apparel such as T-shirts, bras, panties, men’sshapewear, underwear, children’s underwear,socks, hosiery and activewear socksproduced in our low-cost global supply chain. Our products are marketed to consumers shopping in mass merchants, mid-tier and hosiery.department stores, specialty stores and the consumer-directed channel, which includes our owned retail locations, as well as e-commerce sites. Our brands hold either the number one or number two market position by units sold in many of the product categories and geographies in which we compete.
Our operations are managed and reported in three operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Activewear and International. These segments are organized principally by product category and geographic location. Each segment has its own management team that is responsible for the operations of the segment’s businesses, but the segments share a common supply chain and media and marketing platforms. Other consists of our U.S.-based outlet stores, U.S. hosiery business and certain sales from our supply chain to the European Innerwear business.
Our Key Business Strategies
Our business strategy integrates our brand superiority, industry-leading innovation and low-cost global supply chain to provide higher value products while lowering production costs. We operate in the global innerwear and global activewear apparel categories. These are stable, heavily branded categories where we have a strong consumer franchise based on a global portfolio of industry-leading brands that we have built over multiple decades, through hundreds of millions of direct interactions with consumers. In 2020, we undertook a comprehensive global business review focused on building consumer-centric growth. The review resulted in our Full Potential plan, which is our multi-year growth strategy that focuses on four pillars to drive growth and enhance long-term profitability and identifies initiatives to unlock growth. Our four pillars of growth are to grow the Champion brand globally, drive growth in Innerwear with brands and products that appeal to younger consumers, drive consumer-centricity by delivering innovative products and improving awareness through investments in brand marketing and digital capabilities, and streamline our global portfolio. In order to deliver this growth and create a more efficient and productive business model, we have launched a multi-year cost savings program intended to self-fund the investments necessary to achieve the Full Potential plan’s objectives. We remain highly confident that our strong brand portfolio, world-class supply chain and diverse category and geographic footprint will help us unlock our full potential, deliver long-term growth and create stockholder value.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, we began the implementation of our Full Potential plan and as part of our strategy to streamline our portfolio, we determined that our personal protective equipment (“PPE”) business was no longer a growth opportunity for our company and recorded a charge to write down our entire PPE inventory balance to its estimated net realizable value.
In the first quarter of 2017,2021, we realignedannounced that as part of our reporting segmentsstrategic plan, we were exploring alternatives for our European Innerwear business and subsequently reached the decision to reflectexit this business. We determined that our European Innerwear business met held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria during the new modelfirst quarter of 2021. Accordingly, we began to separately report the results of our European Innerwear business as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and to present the related assets and liabilities as held for sale in the Condensed

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our business operations and financial results for the second quarter and six months ended 2021 and 2020 as described in more detail under which“Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations - Second Quarter Ended July 3, 2021 Compared with Second Quarter Ended June 27, 2020” and “Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations - Six Months Ended July 3, 2021 Compared with Six Months Ended June 27, 2020” below, primarily through reduced traffic and closures of company-operated and third-party retail locations for portions of each of the periods in certain markets. Global supply chain disruptions have also resulted in higher operating costs and higher levels of inflation. The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly uncertain, and our business will be managed and results willof operations, including our net revenues, earnings and cash flows, could continue to be reviewed by the chief executive officer, who isadversely impacted.
Outlook for 2021
We estimate our chief operating decision maker. The former Direct to Consumer segment, which consisted of our U.S. value-based (“outlet”) stores, legacy catalog business and U.S. retail Internet operations, was eliminated. Our U.S. retail Internet operations, which sells products directly to consumers, is now reported in the respective Innerwear and Activewear segments. Other consists of our U.S. value-based (“outlet”) stores, U.S. hosiery business (previously reported in the Innerwear segment) and legacy catalog operations. Prior year segment sales and operating profit results have been revised to conform to the current year presentation.
Highlights from the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2017
Key financial highlights are2021 guidance as follows:
Total netNet sales in the third quarter of 2017 were $1.80$6.75 billion compared with $1.76 billion in the same period of 2016, representing a 2% increase.to $6.85 billion;
Operating profit increased 11%of $795 million to $253 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared with $228 million in the same period of 2016. As a percentage of sales, operating profit was 14.1% in the third quarter of 2017 compared to 13.0% in the same period of 2016. Included within operating profit for both the third quarter of 2017 and 2016 were acquisition-related and integration$825 million;
Full Potential plan-related charges of $17approximately $85 million reflected in operating profit;
Interest expense and $43other expenses of approximately $182 million respectively.combined;
An annual effective tax rate from continuing operations of approximately 13%;
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 22%from $1.50 to $0.55 in the third quarter of 2017, compared with $0.45 in the same period of 2016.$1.58;
In 2017, we began executing a multi-year program (“Project Booster”) to drive investment for sales growth, cost reduction and increased cash flow. Under Project Booster, we are investing to accelerate worldwide omnichannel and global Champion growth, while also investing in marketing and brand building for our leading lineup of brands globally. To fund growth initiatives, reduce costs and increase cash flow, we expect to reduce overhead, including headcount, to reflect market trends and needs; drive additional supply chain optimization beyond integration synergies; and focus on inventory turns and other working capital improvements. We intend to use our size and scale to drive supply chain optimization, including by investing in our domestic distribution center network to better serve the online channel, gaining procurement and product development savings, utilizing global fabric platforms and silhouettes, and continuing to internalize production.
The Project Booster initiative is expected to generate approximately $150 million in annualized cost savings. We expect to annually reinvest approximately $50 million of the savings in targeted growth opportunities, which would result in approximately $100 million of annual net cost savings and incremental cash from operations by the end of 2019. In addition to the annual net cost savings, we also plan to drive approximately $200 million of non-recurring working capital improvements which will result in a one-time benefit to cash from operations by the end of 2019.

Outlook
We expect our 2017 full year net sales to be approximately $6.450 billion to $6.475 billion.
Interest and other expenses are expected to be approximately $180 million, combined.
We estimate our full year effective income tax rate to be approximately 5%, assuming no changes to U.S. tax law and policy.
We expect cashCash flow from operations to be in the rangeoperating activities of $625 million to $725 million. We expect capitalapproximately $550 million; and
Capital expenditures of approximately $90$100 million.
Seasonality and Other Factors
OurAbsent the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, our operating results are typically subject to some variability due to seasonality and other factors. Generally, our diverse range of product offerings helps mitigate the impact of seasonal changes in demand for certain items. We generallyFor instance, we have historically generated higher sales during the back-to-school and holiday shopping seasons and during periods of cooler weather, which benefits certain product categories such as fleece. Sales levels in any period are also impacted by our customers’ decisions to increase or decrease their inventory levels in response to anticipated consumer demand. Our customers may cancel ororders, change delivery schedules manage on-hand inventory levels, or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice to us. 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.
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 consumer spending by consumers.trends. Discretionary spending is affected by many factors that are outside our control, including, among others, general business conditions, interest rates, inflation, consumer debt levels, the availability of consumer credit, currency exchange rates, taxation, gasolineenergy prices, weather, unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending. Many of these factors are outside of our control. Consumers’ 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. TheseAs a result, consumers may choose to purchase fewer of our products, or to purchase 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 price increases that become effective from time to time.
Changes in product sales mix can impact our gross profit as the percentage of our sales attributable to higher margin products, such as intimate apparel and men’s underwear, and lower margin products, such as seasonal and replenishable activewear, fluctuate from time to time. In addition, sales attributable to higher and lower margin products within the same product category fluctuate from time to time. Our customers may change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice to us, which makes trends in product sales mix difficult to predict. However, certain changes in product sales mix are seasonal in nature, as sales of socks, hosiery and fleece products generally have higher sales during the last two quarters (July to December) of each fiscal year as a result of cooler weather, back-to-school shopping and holidays, while other changes in product mix may be attributable to customers’consumers’ preferences and discretionary spending.

Activewear net sales increased with our expansion into the teamwear and fanware space with the acquisition of GTMa 150% increase in 2016, increased net sales in the licensed sportsour basics and intimate apparel business within the college bookstore business and growth in the online channel across Activewear product categories. Sales increases were offset partially by sales declines in our Hanes activewear apparel, primarily in the mass merchant channel.
Operating profit increasedbusinesses, respectively, primarily as a result of lower sales in the second quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns, retailers continuing to replenish inventory levels and pent-up consumer demand as stores reopened after temporary closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and incremental sales partially as a result of higher U.S. government stimulus spending.
Innerwear operating margin was 23.8%, a decrease from 27.8% in the same period a year ago due to fixed cost deleverage from lower sales, higher freight costs and sourcing premiums to service demand, higher investments in brand marketing and higher compensation costs. The second quarter of 2020 included operating profit related to the PPE business that was exited.
Activewear
Activewear net sales increased 140% compared to the second quarter last year driven by lower sales in the second quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns and incremental sales partially as a result of higher U.S. government stimulus spending. We experienced growth in all product mix favoringcategories.
Activewear operating margin was 10.2%, an increase from (3.4)% in the same period a year ago. Operating margin improvement resulted primarily from fixed cost leverage from higher gross margin businesses, sales, volume and continued cost control.which more than offset higher investments in brand marketing.

Net sales in the International segment increased 91% as a result of lower sales in the second quarter of 2020 due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $51 million in the second quarter of 2021. International net sales on a constant currency basis, defined as net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency, increased 70%. The impact of foreign exchange rates is calculated by applying prior period exchange rates to the current year financial results. Net sales in certain of our international markets continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19 related shutdowns.
International operating margin was 12.9%, an increase from 2.1% in the same period a year ago. Operating margin improvement resulted primarily from fixed cost leverage from higher sales, sales mix and the favorable impact from foreign exchange rates.
Other

Included in restructuring and other action-related charges in the second quarter of 2020 were $24 million of asset write-down charges recorded as a result of the following:

This decrease was partially offset by a 44% and a 77% increase in net sales in our basics and intimates apparel businesses. Strength in our sock and licensed intimate apparel businesses, respectively, primarily as well as growtha result of lower sales in the online channel was more than offset by declines in other product categoriessix months of 2020 due to challengingCOVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns, retailers continuing to replenish inventory levels and pent-up consumer traffic at retaildemand as stores reopened after temporary closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and cautious inventory management by retailers. Our intimate apparel business also experiencedincremental sales declines driven by the continued impactpartially as a result of higher U.S. government stimulus spending.
Innerwear operating margin was 23.2%, a decrease from retail store closures25.4% in the mid-tiersame period a year ago due to fixed cost deleverage from lower sales, higher freight costs and department store channel, partially offset by strong performance from our new Maidenform sportsourcing premiums to service demand, higher investments in brand marketing and millennial product offerings.
Decreasedhigher compensation costs. The six months of 2020 included operating profit related to the PPE business that was exited.
Activewear 
Activewear net sales increased 68% compared to the six months of 2020 driven largely by lower sales volume coupled within the six months of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns and incremental sales partially as a result of higher U.S. government stimulus spending. We experienced growth in all product categories.
Activewear operating margin was 13.2%, an increase from 0.5% in the same period a year ago. Operating margin improvement resulted primarily from fixed cost leverage from higher sales.
International
Net sales in the International segment increased 45% as a result of lower marginssales in the six months of 2020 due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $94 million in the six months of 2021. International net sales on a constant currency basis, defined as net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency, increased 31%. The impact of foreign exchange rates is calculated by applying prior period exchange rates to the current year financial results. Net sales in certain of our international markets continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19 related shutdowns.

Net sales in the International segmentsix months of 2021 included incremental recurring COVID-19 related costs such as cleaning and health-related supplies to protect our employees and customers, as well as higher compensation expense compared to the six months of 2020. Corporate expenses were higherlower in the six months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 due to lower restructuring and other action-related charges and bad debt expense. Included in restructuring and other action-related charges in the six months of 2021 were $38 million of charges related to the implementation of our Full Potential plan including impairment charges of $7 million related to the full impairment of an indefinite-lived trademark related to a specific brand within the European Innerwear business that was excluded from the disposal group as it is not being marketed for sale. Included in restructuring and other action-related charges in the six months of 2020 were $24 million of asset write-down charges recorded as a result of the following:
Incremental net sales fromeffects of the acquisitionsCOVID-19 pandemic. Supply chain actions include actions to reduce overhead costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Requirements and Trends and Uncertainties Affecting Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated by operations and availability under our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”), our senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), our accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility”) and our international loan facilities.
At September 30, 2017, we had $784 million of borrowing availability under our Revolving Loan Facility (after taking into account outstanding letters of credit), $24 million borrowing availability under our Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, $149 million of borrowing availability under our international loan facilities, which includes our European Revolving Loan Facility, our Australian Revolving Loan Facility and other international notes payable and debt facilities, and $400 million in cash and cash equivalents. We currently believe that our existing cash balances and cash generated by operations, typically in the second half of the year, together with our available credit capacity, will enable us to comply with the terms of our indebtedness and meet foreseeable liquidity requirements.
The following have impacted or may impact our liquidity:
we have principal and interest obligations under our debt;
we acquired Champion Europe in June 2016 and Hanes Australasia in July 2016 and we may pursue additional strategic business acquisitions in the future;
the amount of contingent consideration we are required to pay in connection with the Champion Europe acquisition may be inconsistent with management’s expectations;
we expect to continue to invest in efforts to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs;
contributions to our pension plans;
we may increase or decrease the portion of the current-year income of our foreign subsidiaries that we remit to the United States, which could significantly impact our effective income tax rate;
our Board of Directors has authorized a regular quarterly dividend; and
our Board of Directors has authorized share repurchases.
Dividends
In January, April and July of 2017, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share, which were paid in March, June and September of 2017, respectively. On October 24, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share to be paid on December 5, 2017 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 14, 2017.

Share Repurchase Program
In April 2016, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program for up to 40 million shares to be repurchased in open market transactions, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we entered into transactions to repurchase approximately 15 million shares at a weighted average repurchase price of $20.39 per share. The shares were repurchased at a total cost of $300 million. For the nine months ended October 1, 2016 we repurchased approximately 14 million shares under the previous share repurchase program at a weighted average purchase price of $26.65. The shares were repurchased at a total cost of $380 million. At September 30, 2017, the remaining repurchase authorization under the current share repurchase program totaled approximately 25 million shares. The program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion.
Cash Requirements for Our Business
We rely on our cash flows generated from operations and the borrowing capacity under our credit facilities to meet the cash requirements of our business. TheOur primary cash requirementsuses of our businesscash are payments to our employees and vendors in the normal course of business, capital expenditures, maturities of debt and related interest payments, business acquisitions, contributions to our pension plans, repurchases of our stock and regular quarterly dividend payments and income tax payments.
In April 2020, given the rapidly changing business environment and level of uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated impact on future earnings, we amended our Senior Secured Credit Facility prior to any potential covenant violation in order to modify the financial covenants and to provide operating flexibility during the COVID-19 crisis. The amendment changed certain provisions and covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility through the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2021, after which our covenants were to revert to their original, pre-amendment levels. We voluntarily terminated the covenant relief amendment when we submitted our April 3, 2021 compliance certificate in order to reduce interest expense and increase flexibility for restricted payments, investments, indebtedness, and permitted acquisitions. After termination, the covenants reverted to their original, pre-amendment levels for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2021.

We expect to maintain compliance with our covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements based on our current expectations and forecasts. If economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic do not continue to improve or otherwise worsen, including as a result of any new virus or vaccine distribution or efficacy, and our earnings and operating cash flows do not continue to recover as currently estimated by management, this could impact our ability to maintain compliance with our financial covenants and require us to seek additional amendments to our Senior Secured Credit Facility. If we are not able to obtain such necessary additional amendments, this would lead to an event of default and, if not cured timely, our lenders could require us to repay our outstanding debt. In that situation, we may not be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay the lenders.
Based on our current estimate of future earnings and cash flows, we believe we have sufficient cash and available borrowings for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements based on our foreseeablecurrent expectations and forecasts.
Our primary sources of liquidity needs.are cash generated from global operations and cash available under our Revolving Loan Facility, our Australian Revolving Loan Facility, our Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility and our international credit facilities.

The following have impacted or may impact our liquidity:
The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.
We have historically paid a regular quarterly dividend. The declaration of any future dividends and, if declared, the amount of any such dividends, will be subject to our actual future earnings, capital requirements, regulatory restrictions, debt covenants, other contractual restrictions and to the discretion of our Board of Directors.
We have principal and interest obligations under our debt and ongoing financial covenants under those debt facilities. In March 2021, we repaid the outstanding balance of Term Loan B which consisted of a required excess cash requirements forflow prepayment of $239 million and a voluntary prepayment of $61 million.
We have invested in efforts to accelerate worldwide omnichannel and global growth initiatives, as well as marketing and brand building.
As part of our Full Potential plan, we have launched a multi-year cost savings program intended to self-fund the investments necessary to achieve the Full Potential plan’s objectives.
We expect capital investments of approximately $185 million per year through 2024 as part of our Full Potential plan.
In the future, we may pursue strategic business acquisitions.
We made a contribution of $40 million to our U.S. pension plan in the six months ended July 3, 2021. We may also elect to make additional voluntary contributions.
We may increase or decrease the portion of the current-year income of our foreign subsidiaries that we remit to the United States, which could impact our effective income tax rate. Consistent with our investment strategy as it pertains to our historical foreign earnings as of January 2, 2021, we intend to remit foreign earnings totaling $668 million.

Operating Activities
Our overall liquidity is primarilyhas historically been driven by our cash flow from operations,provided by operating activities, which is dependent on net income as well asand changes in our working capital. We typically use cash during the first half of the year and generate most of our cash flow in the second half of the year. As compared to the prior year, the higher net cash provided by operating activities iswas due to strongchanges in working capital management, specifically related to increasedprimarily accounts receivable collections, extension ofand payables, partially offset by inventory. Higher profitability also drove improved year over year cash flow. Net cash from operating activities includes a $40 million and a $25 million contribution to our accounts payable terms and no voluntaryU.S. pension contributionplan made in the first nine monthsquarter of 2017 compared to $40 million in the same period of 2016.2021 and 2020, respectively.
Investing Activities
Investing activities in the six months of 2021 and 2020 primarily include capital investments into our business. The lower netdecrease in cash used by investing activities is primarily the result of cash received from our dispositions of the Dunlop Flooring and Tontine Pillow businesses as well as our acquisitions of Champion Europe and Pacific Brands in the first ninesix months of 2016.
Financing Activities
The lower net cash from financing activities2021 compared to 2020 was primarily the result of a decrease in capital investments into our business as we manage our spending on our focused strategic goals.

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 condition in conformity with U.S. GAAP.accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note, 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.January 2, 2021.
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 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 31, 2016.January 2, 2021. There have been no material changes in these policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.January 2, 2021.
