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, statements under the heading “Outlook” and other information 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 January 2,December 31, 2016, under the caption “Risk Factors,” and available on the “Investors” section of our corporate website, www.Hanes.com/investors.

(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 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 earlierdifferent 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.
CertainAs a result of further policy harmonization related to acquired businesses, certain prior year amounts in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, none of which are material, have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassificationsThe 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. The year 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.
(2)Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Consolidation
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810)”, an update to their existing consolidation model, which changes the analysis a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Debt Issuance Costs
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest”, which require debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Cloud Computing
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”. The guidance provides clarification on whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a software license is included, the customer should account for the license consistent with its accounting for other software licenses. If a software license is not included, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Fair Value Measurement
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)”, which removes the requirement to

Measurement Period Adjustments
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805)”, which simplify the accounting for measurement period adjustments by eliminating the requirements to restate prior period financial statements for these adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The new standard, which should be applied prospectively to measurement period adjustments that occur after the effective date, was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Stock Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which requires all excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in income as they occur. The new guidance also changes the cash flow presentation of excess tax benefits, classifying them as operating inflows or outflows. The new rules are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. The Company elected to early adopt in the second quarter of 2016, with a retrospective effective date of January 3, 2016. Periods prior to 2016 were not restated for the adoption of this accounting standard as the Company has adopted this standard on a prospective basis beginning January 3, 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Principal versus Agent Considerations)”, which clarifies revenue recognition when an agent, along with the entity, is involved in providing a good or service to a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing)”, which clarifies the principle for determining whether a good or service is “separately identifiable” and, therefore, should be accounted for separately. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients)”, which clarifies the objective of the collectability criterion. A separate update issued in May 2016 clarifies the accounting for shipping and handling fees and costs as well as accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 with retrospective application required. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Hedge Accounting
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships”, which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative contract, in and of itself, does not require the dedesignation of a hedging relationship. The new standard, which can be adopted prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis, was effective for the Company in the first 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. The new standard was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

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”.

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. Also in March 2016,

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 Hedgingcash flows.

The new rules require that an employer report the service cost component in Debt Instruments”,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.

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 clarifychanges to the requirements for assessing whether contingent callterms or conditions of a share-based payment award

Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”.

The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated As Hedges
The Company uses 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. These contracts are not designated as hedges under the accounting standards and are recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. 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.
The effect of derivative contracts not designated as hedges on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is as follows:

(10)Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
As of October 1, 2016,September 30, 2017, 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 foreign exchange rates, deferred compensation plan liabilities and contingent consideration resulting from the Champion Europe acquisition. The fair values of foreign currency derivatives are determined using the cash flows of the foreign exchange contract, discount rates to account for the passage of time and current foreign exchange market data 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 iswas determined by applying an option pricing model usinga multiple of 10 times Champion Europe’s expected 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 recurring basis.

The Project Booster initiative is a leading underwear and intimate apparel companyexpected to generate approximately $150 million in Australia with a portfolio of strong brands including Bonds, Australia’s top brand of underwear, babywear and socks, and Berlei, a leading sports bra brand and leading seller of premium bras in department stores. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand, a portionannualized cost savings. We expect to annually reinvest approximately $50 million of the proceeds of our new 3.5% Senior Notes issuedsavings in June 2016 and borrowings under our Australian Term A-1 Loan Facility and Australian Term A-2 Loan Facility. We believe this acquisition will createtargeted growth opportunities, which would result in approximately $100 million of annual net cost savings and incremental cash from operations by addingthe end of 2019. In addition to our portfoliothe annual net cost savings, we also plan to drive approximately $200 million of leading innerwear brands supportednon-recurring working capital improvements which will result in a one-time benefit to cash from operations by our global low-cost supply chain and manufacturing network.
As partthe end of our acquisition of Pacific Brands, we acquired the Tontine Pillow and the Dunlop Flooring businesses. These businesses are not a strategic fit and therefore, we have decided not to retain them and are marketing the businesses to prospective buyers. The aforementioned businesses are classified as assets held for sale and presented as discontinued operations.2019.

Outlook
We expect our 20162017 full year net sales to be approximately $6.15$6.450 billion to $6.18$6.475 billion.
Interest expense and other expenses are expected to be approximately $158$180 million, combined.
We estimate our full year effective income tax rate to be in the high single-digits.approximately 5%, assuming no changes to U.S. tax law and policy.
We expect net cash flow from operations to be in the range of $750$625 million to $800$725 million. CapitalWe expect capital expenditures are expected to beof approximately $90 million.
Pretax charges related to debt refinancing and acquisition and integration related charges are expected to be approximately $180 million. The guidance noted herein reflects the expected contributions from our acquisitions of Champion Europe, which closed on June 30, 2016 and Pacific Brands, which closed on July 14, 2016.
Seasonality and Other Factors
Our operating results are 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 generally have 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 customers’ decisions to increase or decrease their inventory levels in response to anticipated consumer demand. Our customers may cancel or 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 spending by consumers. Discretionary spending is affected by many factors, including, among others, general business conditions, interest rates, inflation, consumer debt levels, the availability of consumer credit, taxation, gasoline 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. These 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 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’ preferences and discretionary spending.

Net Sales
Net sales increased 11%2% during the third quarter of 20162017 primarily due to the following:
Acquisition of Pacific BrandsIt’s Greek to Me and GTM Retail, Inc. (“GTM”) in July 2016, Champion Europe in June 2016 and Champion Japan licensee in January 2016, which added incremental net sales of approximately $180$15 million in 2016;the third quarter of 2017;
Higher
Increased net sales driven by our global Champion and global online growth initiatives;
Increased net sales in our Innerwear segment primarily driven by our basics business as we focus on our core product with the introduction of our FreshIQ odor control technology;Hanes Australasia business;
Continued growth in our college bookstore business and Champion Increased net sales within the mass merchant channel;our sock product category; and
Higher net salesFavorable impact of foreign exchange rates in our International segment, excluding the aforementioned acquisitions, primarily in the Asian market.businesses.
Partially offset by:
Decreased sales in the intimates business and continued declines in Hosiery sales;
Lower net sales in the sporting goods and mid-tier department store channels within our Activewear segment, primarilyremaining U.S. product categories as a result of softer-than-expected back-to-school trends driven by bankruptcies of certain sporting goods retailers; and
Lower sales in our Direct to Consumer segment due to slowerweak traffic at our outlet storesretail and planned exit from our legacy catalog businesscontinued declines in the overall apparel category; and non-core product offerings to a more focused branded store
Declines in hosiery sales within the U.S. and Internet strategy.certain European markets.
Gross Profit
The increase in gross profit was attributable to higher sales volume primarily from acquisitions, supply chain efficiencies and synergies recognized from the integration of our acquisitions offset partially by unfavorable product sales mix within the Activewear segment and increased acquisition,lower acquisition-related and integration and other action related costs.charges. Included in gross profit in the third quarters of 20162017 and 20152016 are charges of approximately $14$2 million and $8$14 million, respectively, related to acquisition,acquisition-related and integration and other action related costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
As a percentage of net sales, our selling, general and administrative expenses were 23.9%23.6% for the third quarter of 20162017 compared to 23.4%23.9% in the same period of 2015.2016. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses were charges of $15 million and $29 million of acquisition-related and $35 million of acquisition, integration and other action related costs for the third quarters of 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increaseddecreased slightly due to lower acquisition-related and integration costs for the third quarter of 2017 compared to 2016, offset partially by the higher proportion selling, general and administrative expenses for the recently acquired entities, primarily GTM.
Other Highlights
Interest Expense – relatively flat in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. A higher weighted average interest rate in 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was nearly offset in full by lower debt balances. Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 3.84% during the third quarter of 2017, compared to 3.69% in third quarter of 2016.

Income Tax Expense – our effective income tax rate was 2% and 6% for the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The lower tax rate in 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 is primarily driven by favorable adjustments due to the finalization of the prior year federal tax return, resulting in the recognition of previously unrecognized foreign tax credits, recognized discretely in the quarter. Additionally, there was a lower proportion of earnings attributed to domestic subsidiaries in the quarter, which are taxed at higher rates than foreign subsidiaries.

Innerwear net sales decreased due to lower net sales in both our basics and intimates apparel businesses. Strength in our sock and licensed intimate apparel businesses was more than offset by declines in other product categories as a result of softer-than-expected back-to-school trends driven by weak traffic at retail and continued declines in the overall apparel category. Declines at retail were partially offset by strong online growth across all Innerwear product categories.
Decreased operating profit was largely driven by lower sales volume coupled with lower margins from unfavorable product mix, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses from continued cost control.

Net Sales
Net sales increased 8% in the nine months of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 as a result of the following:
Acquisitions of Hanes Australasia, Champion Europe and GTM in 2016, which added incremental net sales of approximately $451 million in the nine months of 2017;
Increased net sales driven by our global Champion and global online growth initiatives;
Increased net sales in our sock product category; and
Sales growth in licensed sports apparel in the college bookstore business.
Partially offset by:
Lower net sales in our remaining Innerwear product categories as a result of challenging consumer traffic at retail, cautious inventory management by retailers and store closures within the mid-tier and department store channel;
Lower net sales in our licensed sports apparel business and Hanes activewear apparel within the mass merchant channel; and
Lower net sales in Other driven by continued declines in hosiery, slower traffic at our outlet stores and the planned exit from our legacy catalog business in the third quarter of 2016.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased in the nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due to higher sales volume primarily from acquisitions, supply chain efficiencies and synergies recognized from the integration of our acquisitions, and lower acquisition-related and integration charges. Included in gross profit in the nine months of 2017 and 2016 are charges of approximately $22 million and $28 million, respectively, related to acquisition-related and integration costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The higher selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, resulted from the higher proportion of selling, general and administrative expenses for theour recently acquired entities, Pacific Brands andbusinesses, primarily Hanes Australasia, Champion Europe and GTM, and expenses related to our Project Booster initiative including our U.S. corporate office headcount reduction efforts, offset partially by synergy benefits from the integration of prior acquisitions, cost savings from the planned reduction of our legacy catalog distribution, lower acquisition-related and integration costs and continued cost control.

Other Highlights
Other Expenses lower by $46 million in the nine months of 2017 compared to 2016, primarily due to costs associated with the redemption of our 6.375% Senior Notes in 2016, which included a call premium and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
Interest Expense– higher by $12$19 million infor the third quarternine months of 20162017 compared to the third quarter of 20152016 primarily due to higher debt balances to help fund acquisitions and share repurchases in 2016 and normal seasonal working capital build.coupled with a higher weighted average interest rate. Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 3.69% during3.78% for the third quarternine months of 20162017 and in3.65% for the third quarternine months of 2015.2016.

Net Sales
Net sales increased 3% in the nine months of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015 as a result of the following:
Acquisition of Pacific Brands in July 2016, Champion Europe in June 2016 and Champion Japan licensee in January 2016, which added incremental net sales of approximately $190 million in 2016;
Acquisition of Knights Apparel in April 2015, which added an incremental $21 million of net sales in 2016;
Increased sales in our basics business as we focus on core products with the introduction of our FreshIQ odor control technology; and
Continued growth in the Activewear segment within our college bookstore business and Champion sales within the mass merchant channel.
Partially offset by:
Lower sales in the intimates business and continued declines in Hosiery sales;
Lower net sales in our Activewear segment in the sporting goods and mid-tier department store channels, primarily due to certain sporting goods retailer bankruptcies;
Lower net sales in our Direct to Consumer segment due to slower traffic at our outlet stores and the planned exit of our legacy catalog business and removal of non-core product offerings to a more focused branded store and Internet strategy; and

Unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased in the nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to the Pacific Brands and Champion Europe acquisitions in 2016, as well as supply chain efficiencies, reduced acquisition, integration and other action related costs, and synergies recognized from the integration of our acquisitions, partially offset by costs associated with our inventory management related efforts and unfavorable product sales mix within the Activewear segment. Included in gross profit in the nine months of 2016 and 2015 are charges of approximately $28 million and $48 million, respectively, related to acquisition, integration and other action related costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
As a percentage of net sales, our selling, general and administrative expenses were 24.5% for the nine months of 2016 compared to 26.8% in the same period of 2015. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses were charges of $64 million and $164 million of acquisition, integration and other action related costs for the nine months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The lower selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, resulted from the decrease in acquisition, integration and other action related costs, synergy benefits from the integration of prior acquisitions, planned reduction of our catalog distribution and continued cost control, partially offset by the higher proportion of selling, general and administrative expenses for the recently acquired entities, Pacific Brands and Champion Europe.
Other Highlights
Other Expense higher by $49 million in the nine months of 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to costs associated with the redemption of our 6.375% Senior Notes, which included a call premium and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
Interest Expense – higher by $24 million for the nine months of 2016 compared to the nine months of 2015 primarily due to higher debt balances to help fund acquisitions, share repurchases, and normal seasonal working capital build, partially offset by a lower average interest rate. Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 3.65% during the nine months of 2016 whereas the similar rate for the nine months of 2015 was 3.80%.
Income Tax Expense – our effective income tax rate was 7% and 11% for the nine months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The lower effective income tax rate for the nine months ended October 1, 2016 compared to the nine months ended October 3, 2015 was primarily due to a lower proportion of earnings attributed to domestic subsidiaries, which are taxed at rates higher than foreign subsidiaries. Income tax expense also benefited from the adoption of new accounting rules related to accounting for stock compensation, which requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in income as they occur.
Discontinued Operations – the results of our discontinued operations include the operations of two businesses, Tontine Pillow and Dunlop Flooring, purchased in the Pacific Brands acquisition.

The lower net sales in our Innerwear segment primarily resulted from a slower than expected retail environment, higher sales in the same period of 2015 due to larger X-Temp pipes from space gains and continued declines in Hosiery sales, offset, in part, by higher sales in the basics business as we focus on core products with the introduction of our FreshIQ odor control technology.
Decreased operating profit was driven by sales volume and costs associated with our inventory management related efforts, offset by continued cost control.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Trends and Uncertainties Affecting Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated by operations and availability under theour $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) under, 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 October 1, 2016September 30, 2017, we had $908784 million of borrowing availability under our Revolving Loan Facility (after taking into account outstanding letters of credit), $136$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 $450400 million in cash and cash equivalents and $31 million borrowing availability under our Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility.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 are expected tomay impact our liquidity:
we have principal and interest obligations under our debt;
we acquired Knights Apparel in April 2015, Champion Europe in June 2016 and Pacific BrandsHanes 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;
we made a $100 million contributioncontributions to our pension plans in January 2015 and a $40 million contribution in January 2016;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 under our newly authorized share repurchase program.repurchases.
Dividends
As part of our cash deployment strategy, inIn January, April and July 2016,of 2017, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividendsdividend of $0.11$0.15 per share, which were paid in March, June and September of 2016,2017, respectively. On October 25, 2016,24, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.11$0.15 per share to be paid on December 6, 20165, 2017 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 15, 2016.14, 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. The new program replaces our previous share repurchase program for up to 40 million shares that was originally approved in 2007. We did not repurchase any shares during the quarter ended October 1, 2016. For the nine months ended October 1, 2016,September 30, 2017, we entered into transactions to repurchase 14approximately 15 million shares under the previous program at a weighted average repurchase price of $26.65$20.39 per share. The shares were repurchased at a total cost of $380$300 million. For the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 20151, 2016 we repurchased 11approximately 14 million shares under the previous share repurchase program at a weighted average purchase price of $29.15.$26.65. The shares were repurchased at a total cost of $311$380 million. At October 1, 2016,September 30, 2017, the remaining repurchase authorization under the current share repurchase program totaled 40approximately 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. The primary cash requirements of our business are payments to 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. We believe we have sufficient cash and available borrowings for our foreseeable liquidity needs.
There have been no significant changes in the cash requirements for our business from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2,December 31, 2016.

Sources and Uses of Our Cash
The information presented below regarding the sources and uses of our cash flows for the nine months ended October 1, 2016September 30, 2017 and October 3, 20151, 2016 was derived from our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Operating Activities
Our overall liquidity is primarily driven by our strong cash flow provided by operating activities,from operations, which is dependent on net income, as well as 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 prior year, the higher net cash fromprovided by operating activities is due to changes instrong working capital management, specifically related to inventoryincreased accounts receivable collections, extension of our accounts payable terms and a smallerno voluntary pension contribution in the first quarternine months of 2016 of $40 million2017 compared to $100$40 million in the same period of 2015. Inventory is in line with our expectations, and our inventory reduction efforts in the first half of 2016 are generating cash flow in the second half of 2016 as planned.2016.
Investing Activities
The higherlower net cash used inby 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 and Champion Europe, partially offset by lower capital spending and increased cash proceeds from salein the first nine months of assets in 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, which is primarily the result of cash receipts of $66 million towards an anticipated sale leaseback transaction of one of our manufacturing facilities.2016.
Financing Activities
The higherlower net cash from financing activities was primarily the result of lower borrowings on our loan facilities in the first nine months of 2017 and the issuance of our three Senior Notes in the second quarter and incurrence of debt under our new Australia term loan facilities offset by lower net borrowings on our other credit facilitiesin 2016 to help fund the acquisitions of Champion Europe and our share repurchases in the first quarter.Hanes Australasia.

Financing Arrangements
In March 2016,2017, we amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. This amendment primarily extended the terminationmaturity date to March 20172018 and changed the borrowing capacity from a fixed to a varying limit throughout the year, in order to minimize fees for our unused portion of the facility..
In May 2016,September 2017, we issued $900 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes and $900 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Senior Notes. In June 2016, we issued €500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.5% Senior Notes. The proceeds from these issuances were used to repay all outstanding borrowings underamended the 6.375% Senior Notes, reduce the outstanding borrowings under theEuropean Revolving Loan Facility help fundto extend the acquisitions of Champion Europe and Pacific Brands and pay fees and expenses relatingmaturity date to these transactions.
In July 2016, we entered into a Syndicated Facility Agreement, a joinder to our Senior Secured Credit Facility, and established an AUD$200,000 Australian Term A-1 Loan Facility, an AUD$200,000 Australian Term A-2 Loan Facility and an Australia Revolving Facility.
In September 2016, we established a €100 million European Revolving Credit Facility. The proceeds will be used for working capital needs for our Hanes Europe Innerwear business.
During the second quarter of 2016, we incurred $40 million in capitalized debt issuance costs in connection with the issuance of new debt related to restructuring our debt through the redemption of our 6.375% Senior Notes and the issuance of new Senior Notes as discussed above. In addition, we recognized charges of $47 million for the call premium and write-off of unamortized debt costs related to the redemption of the 6.375% Senior Notes.

2018.
As of October 1, 2016September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our credit facilities. We expect to maintain compliance with these covenants for the foreseeable future, however economic conditions or the occurrence of events discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2,December 31, 2016 or other SEC filings could cause noncompliance.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of SEC Regulation S-K.
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. We apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. 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 January 2,December 31, 2016.
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 January 2,December 31, 2016. There have been no material changes in these policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2,December 31, 2016.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For a summary of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to our financial statements.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no significant changes in our market risk exposures from those described in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2,December 31, 2016.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefPrincipal 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, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefPrincipal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
