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 December 31, 2016, 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 of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 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 occurrence of unanticipated events, other than as required by law.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(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 ~~earlier~~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. 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

Inventory

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”, which requires inventory to be recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. 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 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, iswas 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. ~~An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this Update is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence.~~ 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 July 2015, the FASB announced a delay of effective dates for the new accounting rules related to revenue recognition for contracts with customers by one year. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with

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 issuedentities to use in ~~May 2016 clarifies the~~ accounting for ~~shipping and handling fees and costs as well as accounting for consideration given by a vendor~~revenue arising from contracts with customers.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses forward foreign exchange 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.

The Company expects to reclassify into earnings during the next 12 months a net ~~gain~~loss from AOCI of approximately ~~$2,279.~~$16,432.

The changes in fair value of derivatives excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives used as cash flow hedges are reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

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

(10)	Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

As of ~~April 1,~~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 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 recurring basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of ~~April 1,~~September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The carrying amount of trade accounts receivable included allowance for doubtful accounts, chargebacks and other deductions of $~~20,320~~23,998 and $18,726 as of ~~April 1,~~September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The fair values were estimated using quoted market prices as provided in secondary markets, which consider the Company’s credit risk and market related conditions. The carrying amounts of the Company’s notes payable, which is classified as a Level 2 liability, approximated fair value as of ~~April 1,~~September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments.


(11)	Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 6%2% and ~~11%~~6% for the quarters ended ~~April 1,~~September 30, 2017 and ~~April 2,~~October 1, 2016, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 4% and 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, respectively. The lower effective income tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended ~~April 1,~~September 30, 2017 compared to the quarter and nine months ended ~~April 2,~~October 1, 2016 was primarily due to favorable adjustments resulting from the finalization of the prior year federal tax return, resulting in the recognition of previously unrecognized foreign tax credits, recognized discretely in the period ending September 30, 2017.

(12)	Business Segment Information

In the first quarter of 2017, the Company realigned its reporting segments to reflect the new model under which the business will be managed and results will be reviewed by the chief executive officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The former Direct to Consumer segment, which consisted of the Company’s U.S. value-based (“outlet”) stores, legacy catalog business and U.S. retail Internet operations, was eliminated. The Company’s U.S. retail Internet operations, which sells products directly to consumers, is now reported in the respective Innerwear and Activewear segments. Other consists of the Company’s 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.

The Company’s 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 that is responsible for the operations of the segment’s businesses, but the segments share a common supply chain and media and marketing platforms.

The types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues are as follows:

Innerwear sells basic branded products that are replenishment in nature under the product categories of men’s underwear, panties, children’s underwear, socks and intimate apparel, which includes bras and shapewear.

Activewear sells basic branded products that are primarily seasonal in nature under the product categories of branded printwear and retail activewear, as well as licensed logo apparel in collegiate bookstores, mass retail and other channels.

International primarily relates to the Europe, Australia, Asia, Latin America and Canada geographic locations that sell products that ~~primarily~~ span across the Innerwear and Activewear ~~product categories.~~reportable segments.

The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon segment operating profit, which is defined as operating profit before general corporate expenses, acquisition-related and integration charges and amortization of intangibles. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Overview

We are a consumer goods company with a portfolio of leading apparel brands, including Hanes, Champion, DIM, Maidenform, Playtex, Bonds, Bali, JMS/Just My Size, Nur Die/Nur Der, L’eggs, Lovable, Wonderbra, Flexees, Berlei, Lilyette and Gear for Sports. We design, manufacture, source and sell a broad range of basic apparel such as T-shirts, bras, panties, men’s underwear, children’s underwear, activewear, socks and hosiery.

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 and distribution channel.~~location. Each segment has its own management that is responsible for the operations of the segment’s businesses, but the segments share a common supply chain and media and marketing platforms. In the first quarter of 2017, we realigned our reporting segments to reflect the new model under which the business will be managed and results will be reviewed by the chief executive officer, who is 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 ~~April 1,~~September 30, 2017

Key financial highlights are as follows:

Total net sales in the ~~first~~third quarter of 2017 were ~~$1.4~~$1.80 billion, compared with ~~$1.2~~$1.76 billion in the same period of 2016, representing a ~~13%~~2% increase.

Operating profit ~~decreased 1%~~increased 11% to ~~$121~~$253 million in the ~~first~~third quarter of 2017, compared with ~~$122~~$228 million in the same period of 2016. As a percentage of sales, operating profit was ~~8.8%~~14.1% in the ~~first~~third quarter of 2017 compared to ~~10.0%~~13.0% in the same period of 2016. Included within operating profit for both the ~~first~~third quarter of 2017 and 2016 were acquisition-related and integration charges of ~~$38~~$17 million and ~~$25~~$43 million, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ~~decreased 10%~~increased 22% to ~~$0.19~~$0.55 in the ~~first~~third quarter of 2017, compared with ~~$0.21~~$0.45 in the same period of 2016.

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 ~~repurchased~~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 ~~14.7~~$150 million ~~shares of our common stock for~~in annualized cost savings. We expect to annually reinvest approximately ~~$300~~$50 million ~~at a weighted average cost per share of $20.39.~~

As part of our acquisition of Pacific Brands (“Hanes Australasia”) in July 2016, we acquired the Dunlop Flooring and the Tontine Pillow businesses. These businesses were not a strategic fit and, therefore, the decision was made to divest of the ~~aforementioned businesses. Both sale transactions were completed during~~savings in targeted growth opportunities, which would result in approximately $100 million of annual net cost savings and incremental cash from operations by the ~~quarter, resulting~~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 ~~combined pre-tax loss~~one-time benefit to cash from operations by the end of ~~$1 million, which was reported as part of discontinued operations.~~2019.

Outlook

We expect our 2017 full year net sales to be approximately ~~$6.45~~$6.450 billion to ~~$6.55~~$6.475 billion.

Interest and other expenses are expected to be approximately ~~$175~~$180 million, combined.

We estimate our full year effective income tax rate to be ~~comparable with prior year,~~approximately 5%, assuming no changes to U.S. tax law and policy.

We expect cash flow from operations to be in the range of $625 million to $725 million. We expect capital expenditures of approximately $90 ~~million to $100~~ million.

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 ~~13%~~2% during the ~~first~~third quarter of 2017 primarily due to the following:

Acquisition of It’s Greek to Me and GTM Retail, Inc. (“GTM”) in 2016, which added incremental net sales of approximately $15 million in the third quarter of 2017;

Increased net sales driven by our global Champion and global online growth initiatives;

Increased net sales in our Hanes Australasia business;

Increased net sales within our sock product category; and

Favorable impact of foreign exchange rates in our International businesses.

Partially offset by:

Lower net sales in our remaining U.S. 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; and

Declines in hosiery sales within the U.S. and certain European markets.

Gross Profit

The increase in gross profit was attributable to 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 third quarters of 2017 and 2016 are charges of approximately $2 million and $14 million, respectively, related to acquisition-related and integration costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

As a percentage of net sales, our selling, general and administrative expenses were 23.6% for the third quarter of 2017 compared to 23.9% in the same period of 2016. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses were charges of $15 million and $29 million of acquisition-related and integration costs for the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 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.

Segment operating profit	141,002		147,902		(6,900		)	(4.7	)

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.

Activewear net sales increased with our expansion into the teamwear and fanware space with the acquisition of GTM in 2016, increased net sales in the licensed sports 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 increased primarily as a result of product mix favoring higher gross margin businesses, sales volume and continued cost control.

Net sales in the International segment were higher as a result of the following:

Increased net sales driven by our global Champion sales growth, primarily in the Europe and Asia markets;

Increased innerwear net sales within our Hanes Australasia and Latin America businesses; and

Favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Partially offset by:

Declining hosiery sales and slower traffic at retail in certain European markets.

Operating profit increased primarily due to higher sales volume, coupled with cost synergies realized in our Hanes Europe Innerwear and Hanes Australasia businesses.

Other net sales were lower as a result of continued declines in hosiery sales in the U.S. and slower traffic at our outlet stores and the impact from weather-related store closures. Operating profit increased as a result of continued cost control partially offset by lower sales volume.

Corporate

Corporate expenses included certain administrative costs and acquisition-related and integration charges. Acquisition-related and integration costs are expenses related directly to an acquisition and its integration into the organization. These costs include legal fees, consulting fees, bank fees, severance costs, certain purchase accounting items, facility closures, inventory write-offs, information technology costs and similar charges.

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 ~~$213~~$451 million in the nine months of 2017;

~~Higher~~Increased net sales driven by our global Champion and global online growth initiatives;

~~Growth in our men’s underwear business;~~sock product category; and

Lower net sales in our licensed sports apparel business andHanes activewear apparel within the mass merchant channel; and

Lower net sales in Other driven by continued declines in ~~Hosiery,~~hosiery, slower traffic at our outlet stores and the planned exit from our legacy catalog business in the third quarter of 2016.

Gross Profit

~~The increase~~Gross profit increased in ~~gross profit was attributable~~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, ~~offset slightly by higher~~and lower acquisition-related and integration charges.

Other Highlights

~~Interest Expense~~Other Expenses – ~~higher~~lower by ~~$11~~$46 million in the ~~first quarter~~nine months of 2017 compared to 2016, primarily due to costs associated with the ~~first quarter~~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 $19 million for the nine months of 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to higher debt balances ~~from prior year~~to help fund acquisitions and share repurchases ~~in 2017.~~coupled with a higher weighted average interest rate. Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was ~~3.74% during~~3.78% for the ~~first quarter~~nine months of 2017 ~~compared to 3.59% in first quarter~~and 3.65% for the nine months of 2016.

Income Tax Expense – our effective income tax rate was 6%4% and ~~11%~~7% for the ~~first quarter~~nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The lower effective income tax rate infor the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the ~~same period in~~nine months ended October 1, 2016 iswas primarily due to favorable adjustments related to the finalization of the prior year federal tax return, resulting in the recognition of previously unrecognized foreign tax credits, recognized discretely in the third quarter of 2017. Additionally, there was a lower proportion of earnings attributed to domestic subsidiaries in 2017, which are taxed at higher rates ~~higher~~ than foreign subsidiaries, as well as an income tax benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2017 related to the realization of an unrecognized tax benefit resulting from the effective settlement of positions in foreign jurisdictions.subsidiaries.

Discontinued Operations – the results of our discontinued operations include the operations of two businesses, Dunlop Flooring and Tontine Pillow, which were purchased in the Hanes Australasia acquisition in 2016 and sold during the first quarter of 2017.

Innerwear net sales decreased in both our basics and intimates apparel businesses. Strength in ~~men’s underwear, partially driven by FreshIQ,~~our sock and licensed intimate apparel businesses, as well as growth in the online channel was more than offset by declines in other product categories due to challenging consumer traffic at retail and cautious inventory management by retailers. Our intimate apparel business also experienced sales declines driven by ~~a single retailer’s planned~~the continued impact from retail store closures in the mid-tier and department store channel, partially offset by strong performance from our new Maidenform sport and millennial product offerings.

Decreased operating profit was driven largely by lower sales volume ~~and charges~~coupled with lower margins from unfavorable product mix, as well as expenses related to ~~the voluntary separation program in the first quarter,~~Project Booster, offset partially 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 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 ~~April 1,~~September 30, 2017, we had $~~740~~784 million of borrowing availability under our Revolving Loan Facility (after taking into account outstanding letters of credit), $7$24 million borrowing availability under our Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, ~~$167~~$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 $~~464~~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 ~~are expected to~~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 ~~was~~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 ~~quarter~~nine months ended ~~April 1,~~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 ~~quarter~~nine months ended ~~April 2,~~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 ~~April 1,~~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. 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 December 31, 2016.

Sources and Uses of Our Cash

The information presented below regarding the sources and uses of our cash flows for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~April 1,~~September 30, 2017 and ~~April 2,~~October 1, 2016 was derived from our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	463,623		$	332,422		$	400,045		$	450,213

Operating Activities

Our overall liquidity is primarily driven by our cash flow 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 ~~lower~~higher net cash ~~used in~~provided by operating activities is due to strong working capital management, specifically related to increased accounts receivable collections, ~~in the quarter,~~extension of our accounts payable terms and no voluntary pension contribution in the first ~~quarter~~nine months of 2017 compared to $40 million in the same period of 2016.

Investing Activities

The ~~higher~~lower net cash ~~provided~~used by investing activities is primarily the result of cash received from our dispositions of the Dunlop Flooring and Tontine Pillow ~~businesses.~~businesses as well as our acquisitions of Champion Europe and Pacific Brands in the first nine months of 2016.

Financing Activities

The lower net cash from financing activities was primarily the result of lower borrowings on our loan facilities in the first ~~quarter~~nine months of ~~2017.~~2017 and the issuance of our three Senior Notes and incurrence of debt under our Australia term loan facilities in 2016 to help fund the acquisitions of Champion Europe and Hanes Australasia.

Financing Arrangements

In March 2017, we amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. This amendment primarily extended the ~~termination~~maturity date to March 2018.

In September 2017, we amended the European Revolving Loan Facility to extend the maturity date to September 2018.

As of ~~April 1,~~September 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 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 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 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 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 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 ~~Chief~~Principal 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 ~~Chief~~Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

In connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and ~~Chief~~Principal Financial Officer, concluded that no changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1.	Legal Proceedings
