FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


WARNACO REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2010 RESULTS
Company Raises Fiscal 2010 Guidance

______________________________________________________________________

NEW YORK -- May 10, 2010 -- The Warnaco Group, Inc. (NYSE: WRC) today reported results for the first quarter ended April 3, 2010.

Highlights for the quarter:

·
Net revenues were up 9% from the prior year quarter
·
Income per diluted share from continuing operations increased 23% to $1.03 compared to $0.84 in the prior year quarter, and includes $0.06 and $0.13, respectively, of costs related to restructuring expenses, pension expense, certain tax related items and other items
·
Income per diluted share from continuing operations on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis (excluding the items above) was $1.09, a 12% increase, compared to $0.97 for the prior year quarter
·
The Company purchased 1.5 million of its common shares
·
The Company redeemed $50 million of its 8-7/8% Senior Notes; and on May 7, 2010 called for redemption the remaining $110.9 million balance
 
The accompanying tables provide a reconciliation of actual results to the adjusted, non- GAAP, results.

The Company believes it is valuable for users of the Company’s financial statements to be made aware of the adjusted financial information, as such measures are used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s continuing businesses on a comparable basis.

Joe Gromek, Warnaco’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our strong first quarter results, which exceeded our expectations.  Our revenue growth, higher gross margin and record earnings are a testament to the strength of our diversified global business model.  Growth in our Calvin Klein® businesses, led by double digit increases in all our key international geographies, as well as similar gains in Chaps® and our Core Intimates business, resulting from expanded distribution and new product launches, drove a 9% increase in total Company net revenues.  We were encouraged by our strong brand performance as evidenced by the nearly 6% increase in comparable store sales, including a strong performance in Europe, and believe we are well positioned to gain market share as the global economies recover.”

“Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the prospects for our Company,” commented Mr. Gromek.  “In addition to powerful brands, Warnaco possesses a highly efficient business model, an established global infrastructure and an experienced leadership team.  Taken together, they provide our Company with significant opportunities to use its strong balance sheet to fund key growth initiatives while creating long-term shareholder value.  In 2010, we will continue to focus on the global expansion of our direct to consumer footprint and opportunities to expand our direct operation through strategic acquisitions of key distribution and franchise partners.

Fiscal 2010 Outlook
 
Based on our results to date and recent currency exchange rates, the Company is raising its 2010 earnings outlook.  For fiscal 2010, on an adjusted basis (excluding restructuring expense, certain tax related items and other items and assuming minimal pension expense):

 
·
The Company now anticipates net revenues will increase 8% - 10% compared to fiscal 2009
 
·
The Company now expects adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $3.30 - $3.40
 
·
The Company’s prior guidance was for net revenue growth in the range of 5% - 7% compared to fiscal 2009 and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $3.10 - $3.20 per diluted share
 
The accompanying tables provide a reconciliation of expected diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, on a GAAP basis of $3.18 - $3.24 per diluted share (assuming minimal pension expense), to the adjusted fiscal 2010 outlook above.
 
First Quarter 2010 Highlights
 
Total Company

Net revenues rose 9% in the quarter, 4% on a constant dollar basis, to $588.2 million.  Double digit growth in the Company’s Calvin Klein businesses, expanded distribution in Chaps and strong growth in Core Intimates, driven by new product launches and higher level of replenishment, more than offset a decline in Swimwear net revenues.

Gross margin increased 350 basis points to 45% of net revenues, driven by lower product costs, strong sell through and higher margin associated with our direct to consumer expansion.  SG&A expense increased $26.6 million to $185.0 million and SG&A as a percent of net revenues increased 200 basis points to 31% of net revenues.  Growth in the Company’s direct to consumer segment ($18.4 million), planned investments in marketing ($7.8 million) and accounting for equity plan expense ($6.0 million) contributed to the $26.6 million increase in SG&A expense.

Operating income increased 24% to $79.5 million compared to $64.3 million in the prior year quarter. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009 was adversely affected by $0.9 million and $8.8 million, respectively, of restructuring charges, pension expense and other items.

The Company recorded income from continuing operations of $48.3 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, compared to $38.6 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Income from continuing operations, on an adjusted non-GAAP basis (excluding costs related to restructuring expenses, pension expense, certain tax related items and other items), as detailed in the accompanying schedules, was $1.09 per diluted share compared to $0.97 per diluted share in the prior year period.

The impact of foreign currency exchange rates increased fiscal 2010 first quarter net revenues, gross profit, SG&A and operating profit by approximately $28 million, $16 million, $9 million and $7 million, respectively, and increased income from continuing operations by approximately $0.10 per diluted share.
 
Segment Results
 
Sportswear

Sportswear Group net revenues rose 14% to $306.3 million and were up 8% on a constant currency basis. Net revenues benefited from the continued ongoing global expansion of the Calvin Klein jeans business and expanded distribution in Chaps.  Sportswear Group operating income increased to $50.9 million, or 17% of Sportswear Group net revenues compared to $37.5 million, or 14% of Sportswear Group net revenues, in the prior year period.  A shift in business mix, favoring higher margin business, lower sourcing costs, less promotional activity and the effects of currency exchange rates contributed to the improved results.

Intimate Apparel

Intimate Apparel Group net revenues increased 12% to $193.9 million and increased 7% on a constant currency basis.  Intimate Apparel Group operating income was $33.6 million, or 17% of Intimate Apparel Group net revenues, compared to $30.4 million, or 18% of Intimate Apparel Group net revenues, in the prior year period.  New product launches and increased replenishment in the Core Brands were the key contributors to the gains in the Core business’ net revenues and operating income.   Calvin Klein Underwear net revenues were up and continued to benefit from direct-to-consumer growth and global expansion.  Operating results, however, were adversely affected by planned increases in marketing expense and the shift in timing of certain shipments to the value channel in the U.S.

Swimwear

Swimwear Group net revenues decreased 8% to $87.9 million (10% on a constant currency basis) primarily as a result of reduced sales to membership clubs in the quarter, however, operating income was $11.9 million, or 14% of Swimwear Group net revenues, compared to $12.5 million, or 13% of Swimwear Group net revenue, in the prior year period.  The increase in operating margin was driven primarily by improved sales mix and reduced restructuring expense.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents at April 3, 2010 were $157.4 million, an increase of $35.3 million, compared to $122.1 million at April 4, 2009.  At quarter-end the Company had net debt (total debt net of cash and cash equivalents) of $4.5 million compared to $166.1 million at April 4, 2009.

During the quarter, the Company purchased 1.5 million shares of common stock, for approximately $69.0 million, completing the 2007 Share Repurchase Program.

The Company also redeemed $50.0 million of its 8-7/8% Senior Notes due 2013, and on May 7, 2010 notified Holders that it would redeem the remaining $110.9 million of Notes on June 15, 2010.

Inventories were $267.2 million at April 3, 2010, a 15% decline (19% on a constant dollar basis), compared to $316.2 million at April 4, 2009.
 
“We ended the quarter in a very solid financial position,” commented Larry Rutkowski, Warnaco’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  “Our disciplined working capital management, led by significant inventory reductions, contributed to our strong cash position.  We will continue to evaluate the most effective uses of cash to maximize shareholder returns.”

Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results, targets or expectations and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

The following factors, among others and in addition to those described in the Company's reports filed with the SEC (including, without limitation, those described under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure," as such disclosure may be modified or supplemented from time to time), could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by it: the Company's ability to execute its repositioning and sale initiatives (including achieving enhanced productivity and profitability) previously announced; economic conditions that affect the apparel industry, including the recent turmoil in the financial and credit markets; the Company's failure to anticipate, identify or promptly react to changing trends, styles, or brand preferences; further declines in prices in the apparel industry; declining sales resulting from increased competition in the Company’s markets; increases in the prices of raw materials; events which result in difficulty in procuring or producing the Company's products on a cost-effective basis; the effect of laws and regulations, including those relating to labor, workplace and the environment; possible additional tax liabilities; changing international trade regulation, including as it relates to the imposition or elimination of quotas on imports of textiles and apparel; the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property or the costs incurred by the Company related thereto; the risk of product safety issues, defects or other production problems associated with our products; the Company’s dependence on a limited number of customers; the effects of consolidation in the retail sector; the Company’s dependence on license agreements with third parties including, in particular, its license agreements with Calvin Klein Inc., the licensor of the Companys Calvin Klein brand name; the Company’s dependence on the reputation of its brand names, including, in particular, Calvin Klein; the Company’s exposure to conditions in overseas markets in connection with the Company’s foreign operations and the sourcing of products from foreign third-party vendors; the Company's foreign currency exposure; the Company’s history of insufficient disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls and restated financial statements; unanticipated future internal control deficiencies or weaknesses or ineffective disclosure controls and procedures; the effects of fluctuations in the value of investments of the Company’s pension plan; the sufficiency of cash to fund operations, including capital expenditures; the Company's ability to service its indebtedness, the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company's indebtedness that is subject to floating interest rates and the limitations imposed on the Company's operating and financial flexibility by the agreements governing the Company's indebtedness; the Company’s dependence on its senior management team and other key personnel; the Company’s reliance on information technology; the limitations on purchases under the Company's share repurchase program contained in the Company's debt instruments, the number of shares that the Company purchases under such program and the prices paid for such shares; the Company’s inability to achieve its financial targets and strategic objectives, as a result of one or more of the factors described above, changes in the assumptions underlying the targets or goals, or otherwise; the failure of acquired businesses to generate expected levels of revenues; the failure of the Company to successfully integrate such businesses with its existing businesses (and as a result, not achieving all or a substantial portion of the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions); and such acquired businesses being adversely affected, including by one or more of the factors described above and thereby failing to achieve anticipated revenues and earnings growth.

The Company encourages investors to read the section entitled "Risk Factors" and the discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies" included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as such discussions may be modified or supplemented by subsequent reports that the Company files with the SEC.

The Company believes it is useful for users of the Company's financial statements to be made aware of the "As Adjusted" net revenue growth and per share amounts related to the Company's income from continuing operations as such measures are used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company's continuing businesses on a comparable basis. Management does not, nor should investors, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company presents such non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its projected results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate the Company's operating results.
