HANESBRANDS REPORTS FOURTH-QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND ISSUES FULL-YEAR 2016 GUIDANCE

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (Feb. 4, 2016) - HanesBrands (NYSE: HBI), a leading global marketer of everyday basic apparel under world-class brands, today reported a third consecutive year of record net sales, adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted earnings per share.
Net sales increased 8 percent to $5.73 billion for the year ended Jan. 2, 2016, while 2015 core sales in constant currency were essentially flat to the prior year. Fourth-quarter net sales decreased 7 percent, while core sales in constant currency decreased 5 percent.
Adjusted operating profit excluding actions for the year increased 13 percent to $861 million and increased 6 percent in the fourth quarter. Adjusted EPS excluding actions for the year increased 17 percent to $1.66 and increased 22 percent in the fourth quarter to $0.44. On a GAAP basis, operating profit increased 6 percent for the year to $595 million and increased 20 percent for the fourth quarter, while EPS increased 7 percent for the year to $1.06 and increased 36 percent for the fourth quarter to $0.30.
(Core sales are stated in constant currency and exclude revenue from acquisitions before their anniversary, a retailer exit from Canada, and the effect of the 53rd week in 2014. All adjusted consolidated measures and comparisons in this news release exclude $266 million and $199 million of pretax charges related to acquisitions and other actions in 2015 and 2014, respectively. See GAAP reconciliation section below for additional details.)
For 2016, Hanes expects another year of double-digit earnings growth. Guidance for adjusted EPS is $1.85 to $1.91, or expected growth of 11 percent to 15 percent. Net sales are expected to be $5.8 billion to $5.9 billion, up 1 percent to 3 percent, and expectations for adjusted operating profit of $920 million to $950 million would be an increase of 7 percent to 10 percent.
“We delivered our third consecutive record year in 2015, although we are disappointed with our fourth-quarter performance,” Hanes Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Richard A. Noll said. “For 2016, I feel confident in our growth expectations and outlook for a fourth consecutive year with a double-digit increase in adjusted EPS.”

Key Callouts for Full-year and Fourth-Quarter 2015 Financial Results
Acquisitions Among Contributors to Record Results. Acquisition benefits, margin expansion and cost control contributed to record net sales, adjusted operating profit and adjusted EPS for the year, despite lower-than-expected fourth-quarter performance. The company continued to reap synergy benefits in 2015 from its 2013 Maidenform acquisition, while the integrations of the company’s 2014 acquisition of DBApparel (Hanes Europe Innerwear) and 2015 acquisition of licensed apparel leader Knights Apparel are underway.
Core Sales Stable Despite Fourth-Quarter Consumer Traffic Falloff. Core sales in constant currency for 2015 were comparable to 2014 levels, with Innerwear core sales down 1 percent and Activewear core sales down 1 percent. For the fourth quarter, net sales and core sales for both Innerwear and Activewear decreased as domestic retail traffic declined significantly as historic warm weather enveloped the eastern two-thirds of the United States in November and December. Innerwear core sales in the fourth quarter decreased 2 percent, while Activewear core sales in the quarter decreased 12 percent.
Retail traffic declined by high-single-digit percentages in November and the first three weeks of December. The prolonged traffic declines weighed on point-of-sale trends and caused retailers to pull back on orders, impacting shipments for both replenishment Innerwear and cold-weather and replenishment Activewear. Improvement in retail traffic and Hanes’ point-of-sale sell-through in the latter third of December and into January was too late to influence fourth-quarter shipments.
Margin Growth. In addition to adjusted operating profit growth, adjusted operating profit margins increased 180 basis points in the fourth quarter and 70 basis points to 15.0 percent of sales for the full year. On a GAAP basis, operating profit margin for 2015 was 10.4 percent.
2016 Financial Guidance
The company’s financial guidance for full-year 2016 would result in a fourth consecutive year of record net sales, adjusted operating profit and adjusted EPS. The company also expects a record year of cash flow in the range of $750 million to $850 million of net cash from operating activities.
The company’s expectations for 2016 net sales of $5.8 billion to $5.9 billion represents growth of approximately 1 percent to 3 percent. This guidance reflects additional incremental sales from completed acquisitions, the nonrecurrence of certain negative impacts in 2015, and contributions from Innovate-to-Elevate platforms and an increased focus on driving core volume that more than offset the negative impacts from currency valuations. The company’s sales initiatives include continued growth and space expansion for Innovate-to-Elevate platforms; such as Hanes and Champion X-Temp; application of Innovate-to-Elevate and marketing programs for core products; omnichannel programs, and Champion product enhancements.
Expected adjusted operating profit of $920 million to $950 million represents growth of 7 percent to 10 percent. Profit is expected to benefit from continued synergies from acquisitions, supply chain internalization, and SG&A leverage. At the midpoint of net sales and profit guidance, the implied adjusted operating profit margin of 16.0 percent would be 100 basis points higher than 2015. Acquisition benefits, including contributions from the integrations underway for the company’s Hanes Europe Innerwear business and licensed sports apparel business (comprised of Knights Apparel and Gear for Sports), are expected to add $40 million in synergies. The company continues to expand its production operations in Vietnam and is internalizing additional Innerwear and Activewear across its global supply chain.

The midpoint of the expected $750 million to $850 million of net cash from operating activities in 2016 would represent an increase of approximately $575 million versus 2015. Contributors to the expected increase include: more than $300 million from working capital improvements, driven by inventory reduction; approximately $140 million from lower expected pretax cash charges related to acquisitions and other actions; approximately $60 million from expected growth in adjusted net income; and $60 million from reducing its voluntary pension contribution in 2016 to $40 million versus $100 million in 2015. The company expects net capital expenditures to be approximately $70 million.
Interest expense and other expense are expected to be approximately $115 million to $120 million combined. The 2016 full-year tax rate is expected to be approximately 10 percent to 11 percent, with the rate expected to vary by quarter.
The company’s 2016 guidance includes expected share repurchases spending similar to 2015 when the company repurchased 12 million shares for $352 million.

Charges for Actions and Reconciliation to GAAP Measures
In 2015, Hanes incurred $266 million in pretax charges, including $54 million in the fourth quarter, related to acquisitions, primarily DBApparel and Knights Apparel, and other actions. In 2014, the company incurred $199 million in pretax charges, including $69 million in the fourth quarter, related to acquisitions, primarily Maidenform and DBApparel, and other actions. See Table 5 attached to this press release for more details on pretax charges for actions.
Adjusted EPS, adjusted net income, adjusted operating profit (and margin), adjusted SG&A, adjusted gross profit (and margin) and EBITDA are not generally accepted accounting principle measures. Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit excluding actions. Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding actions. Adjusted SG&A is defined as selling, general and administrative expenses excluding actions. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Hanes has chosen to provide these non-GAAP measures to investors to enable additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means of evaluating company operations. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP or other pro forma measures used by other companies. See Table 2 and Table 5 attached to this press release to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
For 2016 guidance, Hanes’ current estimate for pretax charges related to acquisition, integration and other actions is approximately $70 million to $100 million. The company believes guidance for adjusted EPS and adjusted operating profit provides investors with an additional means of analyzing the company’s performance absent the effect of acquisition-related expenses and other actions.

On a GAAP basis, full-year 2016 diluted EPS will vary depending on actual performance, pretax charges and tax rate. GAAP diluted EPS could be in the range of $1.60 to $1.77. GAAP operating profit for 2016 could be in the range of $820 million to $880 million.
