FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue” or similar expressions. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements regarding our intent, belief and current expectations about our strategic direction, prospects and future results are forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. In particular, statements with respect to trends associated with our business, our Full Potential plan, our future financial performance and the potential effects of the ongoing global COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak(“COVID-19”) pandemic included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q specifically appearing under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” include forward-looking statements.
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, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2020 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019,January 2, 2021, under the caption “Risk Factors,” and available on the “Investors” section of our corporate website, www.Hanes.com/investors. The contents of our corporate website are not incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(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. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Hanesbrands”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein. The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. The duration and severity of the global novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, which is subject to uncertainty, is having a significant impact on the Company’s business. Management's estimates and assumptions have contemplated both current and expected impacts related to COVID-19 based on available information. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2019 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.10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
ImpactIn the first quarter of COVID-19
2021, the Company announced that as part of its strategic plan, it was exploring alternatives for its European Innerwear business and subsequently reached the decision to exit this business. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Company’sCompany determined that its European Innerwear business met held-for-sale and discontinued operations and financial results in 2020. During the nine months of 2020, the rapid expansion of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a sharp decline in net sales and earnings in the Company’s apparel businesses due to decreased customer traffic and temporary retail store closures worldwide. While most of the Company’s retail stores were temporarily closed for varying periods of time throughout the second quarter, most reopened byaccounting criteria at the end of the secondfirst quarter but have experienced, and are expectedof 2021. Accordingly, the Company began to continue to experience, reductions in customer traffic and therefore, net sales. In addition, many ofseparately report the Company’s wholesale customers have also experienced business disruptions, including lower traffic and consumer demand, resulting in decreased shipments to these customers. Sales of personal protective equipment (“PPE”), used to help mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus, partially offset the negative impact of the decline in net sales and earnings due to the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial results. In addition, the Company’s e-commerce sites have remained open in all regions and online sales have grown as consumer spending continued to shift towards online shopping experiences due to the changing retail landscape as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s operating results also reflected impairment charges related to intangible assets, charges to reserve for increased excess and obsolete inventory, bad debt charges and charges to re-start the Company’s supply chain following the extended shut-down of parts of its manufacturing network dueEuropean Innerwear business as discontinued operations in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and to present the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. While many retail stores have reopenedrelated assets and many government restrictions have been removed or lightened, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly uncertain and could continue to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business operations and financial results, including net sales, earnings and cash flowsliabilities as held for the remainder of 2020, and beyond.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the third quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or intangible asset below its carrying values. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company completed a quantitative impairment analysis for certain indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their performance. Based on this analysis, the Company recorded impairment charges of $20,319 on trademarks and other intangible assets which are reflected in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” linesale in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
In connection withBalance Sheets. These changes have been applied to all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, discussion within these notes to the annual goodwill impairment testing performed in the third quarter of 2020, the Company performed a quantitative assessment utilizing an income approach to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. The most significant assumptions include the weighted average cost of capital, revenue growth rate, terminal growth rate and operating profit margin, all of which are used to estimate the fair value of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The tests indicated the reporting units had fair values that exceeded their carrying values. Certain reporting units, including Hanes

(unaudited)
Europe Innerwear and U.S. Hosiery, are considered to be at a higher risk for future impairment if any assumptions used in the estimate of the reporting units’ fair values change in the future given their respective fair values exceeded their carrying values by less than 20% and trends in the associated businesses indicate a declining fair value. In particular, as of September 26, 2020, the fair value of the Hanes Europe Innerwear reporting unit is slightly higher than its carrying value. The combined goodwill associated with these reporting units was approximately $120,000. Additionally, in connection with the annual impairment testing, the Company performed a quantitative assessment, utilizing an income approach to estimate the fair value of each indefinite-lived intangible asset. The tests indicated the indefinite-lived intangible assets have fair values that exceeded their carrying values. Certain indefinite-lived trademarks are considered to be at a higher risk for future impairment if any assumptions used in the estimate of the trademarks’ fair value change in the future given their respective fair values exceeded their carrying values by less than 20% and trends in the associated businesses indicate a declining fair value. As of September 26, 2020, the Company considered four trademarks within the Hanes Europe Innerwear business to be at a higher risk for future impairment. The carrying value of these four indefinite-lived trademarks was approximately $80,000. Although the Company determined that no impairment exists for the Company's goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets, these assets could be at risk for future impairment should global economic conditions continue to deteriorate beyond current expectations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Revisions of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
As previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019, during the fourth quarter of 2019 the Company identified tax errors, which originated prior to 2017, in its previously issued 2018 and 2017 annual consolidated financial statements and quarterly condensed consolidated interim financial statements relates to continuing operations. See note “Discontinued Operations” for each of the quarterly periods of 2018 and the first three quarterly periods of 2019. Although the Company assessed the materiality of the errors and concluded that the errors were not material to the previously issued annual or interim financial statements, the Company did revise its previously issued 2018 and 2017 annual financial statements to correct for such tax errors in connection with the filing of its 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and disclosed that it would be revising its 2019 condensed consolidated interim financial statements in connection with the filing of its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q during 2020. In connection with such revision, the Company also corrected for certain other immaterial errors. In connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has revised the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2019 to correct for the impact of such errors, including the impact to retained earnings as of September 28, 2019 to correct for the errors which originated in periods prior to 2019, which primarily related to the tax errors. The accompanying footnotes have also been corrected to reflect the impact of the revisions of the previously filed condensed consolidated interim financial statements. See Note, "Revisions of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements" for reconciliations between as reported and as revised amounts as of and for the quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2019.additional information.
(2)    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new accounting rules eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold and, instead, reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020 and apply to its trade receivables.
Under the new accounting rules, trade receivables are now evaluated on a collective (pool) basis and aggregated on the basis of similar risk characteristics. These classifications will be reassessed at each measurement date. A combination of factors, such as industry trends, customers’ financial strength, credit standing and payment and default history are considered in determining the appropriate estimate of expected credit losses. 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.
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 accounting rules simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by

(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test which previously measured a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. As a result of adopting the new rules, the Company compared the estimated fair value of its reporting units to their respective carrying values when evaluating the recoverability of goodwill. When the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which its carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized will not exceed the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Fair Value
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820),” which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. 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; however, its disclosures were updated upon adoption.
Retirement Benefits
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20).” The new accounting rules expand disclosure requirements for employer sponsored defined benefit pension and other retirement plans. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. 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; however, expanded disclosures will be required on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021.
Internal-Use Software
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 340-40),” which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. 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.
Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments.” The new accounting rules clarify guidance around several subtopics by adopting enhanced verbiage to the following subtopics: fair value option disclosures, fair value measurement, investments - debt and equities securities, debt modifications and extinguishments, credit losses, and sales of financial assets. The standard was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The new accounting rules reduce complexity by removing specific exceptions to general principles related to intraperiod tax allocations, ownership changes in foreign investments, and interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The new accounting rules also simplify accounting for franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The new accounting rules will bewere effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules todid not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
Codification Improvements
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, “Codification Improvements.” The new accounting rules improve the consistency of the Codification by including all disclosure guidance in the appropriate Disclosure Section (Section 50) that had only been included in the Other Presentation Matters Section (Section 45) of the Codification. Additionally, the new rules also clarify guidance across various topics including defined benefit plans, foreign currency transactions, and interest expense. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” In January 2021, the FASB clarified the scope of that guidance with the issuance of ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform: Scope.” The new accounting rules provide optional expedients and

Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The new accounting rules provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this standard can be applied anytime between the first quarter of 2020 andadopted any time before the fourth quarter of 2022. 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, cash flows and disclosures.
(3)    Discontinued Operations
In the first quarter of 2021, the Company announced that as part of its strategic plan, it was exploring alternatives for its European Innerwear business and subsequently reached the decision to exit this business. The Company determined that its European Innerwear business met held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Accordingly, the Company began to separately report the results of its European Innerwear business as discontinued operations in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and to present the related assets and liabilities as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes have been applied to all periods presented. On November 4, 2021, the Company announced that it has reached an agreement to sell its European Innerwear business to an affiliate of Regent, L.P., pending the completion of consultation with the European and French works councils representing employees of the European Innerwear business and customary closing conditions. Under the agreement, the purchaser will receive all the assets and operating liabilities of the European Innerwear business. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022.
The operations of the European Innerwear business were previously reported primarily in the International segment. Certain expenses related to its operations were included in general corporate expenses, restructuring and other action-related charges and amortization of intangibles which were previously excluded from segment operating profit and have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. Discontinued operations does not include any allocation of corporate overhead expense or interest expense.
Upon meeting the criteria for held for sale classification which qualified as a triggering event, the Company performed a full impairment analysis of the disposal group's indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. As a result of the strategic decision to exit the European Innerwear business, forecasts were revised to include updated market conditions and the removal of strategic operating decisions that would no longer occur under the Company's ownership. The revised forecasts indicated impairment charges of certain indefinite-lived trademarks and license agreements as well as the full goodwill balance attributable to the European Innerwear business. As a result of this impairment analysis, a non-cash charge of $155,745 was recorded as "Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill" in the summarized discontinued operations financial information for the nine months ended October 2, 2021. In addition, the Company recorded non-cash charges of $30,562 and $266,742 as "Loss on classification of assets held for sale" in the summarized discontinued operations financial information for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2021, respectively, to record a valuation allowance against the net assets held for sale to write down the carrying value of the disposal group to the estimated fair value less costs of disposal. The non-cash charge recorded in the quarter ended October 2, 2021 primarily resulted from changes in working capital balances and foreign exchange rates. The Company will continue to assess the valuation allowance in each interim period until the European Innerwear business is sold. Additionally, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $7,302 in continuing operations on an indefinite-lived trademark for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 which is reflected in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. This charge relates to the full impairment of an indefinite-lived trademark related to a specific brand within the European Innerwear business that was excluded from the disposal group as it is not being marketed for sale. The Company intends to exit this brand subsequent to the sale of the European Innerwear business.
During the second quarter of 2020, the Company completed a quantitative impairment analysis for certain indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their performance. Based on this analysis, the Company recorded impairment charges of $20,319 on certain indefinite-lived trademarks and other intangible assets within the European Innerwear business which are reflected in the “Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill” line in the summarized discontinued operations financial information for the nine months ended September 26, 2020.

The amendment also permanently amends the definition of “leverage ratio” for purposes of the financial covenant calculation to remove the maximum amount of cash allowed to be netted from the definition of “indebtedness” and to allow for the netting of cash from certain foreign subsidiaries. Facility.
The Company expects to maintain compliance with its covenants for at least one year from the date of these financial statements based on its current expectations and forecasts. If economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic do not continue to improve or otherwise worsen, including as a result of any new virus variants or vaccine distribution or efficacy, and the Company’s earnings and operating cash flows do not startcontinue to recover as currently estimated by management, this could impact the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with its financial covenants and require the Company to seek additional amendments to its Senior Secured Credit Facility. If the Company is not able to obtain such necessary additional amendments, this would lead to an event of default and, if not cured timely, its lenders could require the Company to repay its outstanding debt. In that situation, the Company may not be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay the lenders.
The Company intends to refinance its Senior Secured Credit Facility in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to market conditions. In conjunction with the refinancing, the Company intends to redeem its 5.375% Senior Notes using proceeds from the transaction and cash on hand. Redemption of the 5.375% Senior Notes will require payment of a make-whole premium, which along with transaction fees is estimated to result in a one-time charge of approximately $45,000 in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts and cross-currency swap contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on short-term foreign currency-denominated transactions, foreign currency-denominated investments and other known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.
On April 1, 2021, in connection with a reduction in the amount of the 3.5% Senior Notes designated in the European net investment hedge discussed below, the Company entered into 3 pay-fixed rate, receive-fixed rate cross-currency swap contracts with a total notional amount of €300,000. The Company designated these cross-currency swap contracts to hedge the undesignated portion of the foreign currency cash flow exposure related to the Company’s 3.5% Senior Notes, which had a carrying amount of €500,000 as of October 2, 2021. These cross-currency swap contracts, which mature on June 15, 2024, swap Euro-denominated interest payments for U.S. dollar-denominated interest payments, thereby economically converting €300,000 of the Company’s €500,000 fixed-rate 3.5% Senior Notes to a fixed-rate 4.7945% USD-denominated obligation.
The Company expects to reclassify into earnings during the next 12 months a net loss from AOCI of approximately $4,295.$2,474. The Company is hedging exposure to the variability in future foreign currency-denominated cash flows for forecasted transactions over the next 1517 months and for long-term debt over the next 33 months.

Net Investment Hedges
In July 2019, the Company entered into 2 pay-fixed rate, receive-fixed rate cross-currency swap contracts with a total notional amount of €300,000 that were designated as hedges of a portion of the beginning balance of the Company’s net investment in itscertain European subsidiaries. These cross-currency swap contracts, which mature on May 15, 2024, swap U.S. dollar-denominated interest payments for Euro-denominated interest payments, thereby economically converting a portion of the Company’s fixed-rate 4.625% Senior Notes to a fixed-rate 2.3215% Euro-denominated obligation.
In July 2019, the Company also designated the full amount of its 3.5% Senior Notes with a carrying value of €500,000, which is a nonderivative financial instrument, as a hedge of a portion of the beginning balance of the Company’s European net investment. As of April 1, 2021, the Company reduced the amount of its 3.5% Senior Notes designated in the European net investment hedge from €500,000 to €200,000. As of October 2, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the U.S. dollar equivalent carrying value of Euro-denominated long-term debt designated as a partial European net investment hedge was $231,857 and $610,724, respectively.
The amount of after-tax gains (losses) included in AOCI in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to derivative instruments and nonderivative financial instruments designated as net investment hedges and the amount of gains included in the “Interest expense, net” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income related to amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges are as follows:

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

(10)    Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
As of September 26, 2020,October 2, 2021, the Company held certain financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These consisted of the Company’s derivative instruments related to forward foreign exchange derivative contracts, cross-currency swap derivative contracts and deferred compensation plan liabilities. The fair values of forward foreign exchange derivative contracts are determined using the cash flows of the forward contracts, discount rates to account for the passage of time and current foreign exchange market data which are all based on inputs readily available in public markets and are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of cross-currency swap derivative contracts are determined using the cash flows of the swap contracts, discount rates to account for the passage of time, current foreign exchange and interest rate market data and credit risk, which are all based on inputs readily available in public markets and are categorized as Level 2.

(11)    Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 17.6%7.9% and 14.3%16.0% for the quarters ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 17.5%10.9% and 14.3%14.2% for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively. The higherlower effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2020October 2, 2021 was primarily due to tax benefits related to the adjustments of prior year tax returns and approval of certain filings by taxing authorities during the quarter ended October 2, 2021 and the change in jurisdictional mix of income attributable to the economic impacts of COVID-19.income.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S., as well as in various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, the Internal Revenue Service closed its examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the years ended January 2, 2016 and December 31, 2016. The examination resulted in an immaterial adjustment which had been previously accrued for as an unrecognized tax benefit in a prior period. The Company remainsor could be subject to examinations in the U.S., U.S.various state and foreign jurisdictions and believes that it maintains appropriate accruals for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, which are evaluated each quarter. During the quarternine months ended October 2, 2021, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, decreased by $8,435, of which $8,938 was a discrete reduction of the effective income tax rate. The decrease was related to expirations of statutes of limitations and approvals of certain filings with income tax authorities.

September 26, 2020, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, decreased by $18,731, of which $4,295 impacted the effective income tax rate. The decrease was related to expirations of statutes of limitations and certain filings with income tax authorities. Management believes it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $28,352 in the next 12 months based on approvals of certain filings by income tax authorities and expirations of statutes of limitations, of which $27,505 of the reduction may impact the Company’s effective income tax rate.
The Company continually reviews its assessments as to the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a more-likely-than-not basis and maintains valuation allowances against deferred tax assets that are not realizable. It is reasonably possible, that a portion of the Company’s valuation allowance may decrease in future periods due to sufficient positive evidence, including future profitability.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments are offering various relief mechanisms to taxpayers to assist with the business disruption. The measures vary by jurisdiction, but often include the ability to delay certain income tax payments. The Company intends to use these provisions where eligible. As of September 26, 2020, the Company does not expect the COVID-19 relief measures to have a material impact on its financial results, including on its annual estimated effective tax rate or on liquidity.

Overview
Hanesbrands Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a socially responsible leading marketer of everyday basic innerwear and activewear apparel in the Americas, Australia, Europe Australia and Asia/Pacific under some of the world’s strongest apparel brands, including Hanes, Champion, Bonds, DIM,Bali, Maidenform, Bali, Playtex, Lovable, Bras N Things, Nur Die/Nur Der, Alternative, L’eggs, JMS/Just My Size, Wonderbra, Alternative, Berlei, L’eggs and Gear for Sports. We design, manufacture, source and sell a broad range of basic apparel such as T-shirts, bras, panties, shapewear, underwear, socks, hosiery and activewear produced in our low-cost global supply chain. Our products are marketed to consumers shopping in mass merchants, mid-tier and department stores, specialty stores and the consumer-directed channel, which includes our owned retail locations, as well as e-commerce sites. Our brands hold either the number one or number two market position by units sold in many of the product categories and geographies in which we compete.
Our operations are managed and reported in three operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Activewear and International. These segments are organized principally by product category and geographic location. Each segment has its own management team that is responsible for the operations of the segment’s businesses, but the segments share a common supply chain and media and marketing platforms. Other consists of our U.S.-based outlet stores, andour U.S. hosiery business and certain sales from our supply chain to the European Innerwear business.
Our Key Business Strategies
Our business strategy integrates our brand superiority, industry-leading innovation and low-cost global supply chain to provide higher value products while lowering production costs. We operate in the global innerwear and global activewear apparel categories. These are stable, heavily branded categories where we have a strong consumer franchise based on a global portfolio of industry-leading brands that we have built over multiple decades, through hundreds of millions of direct interactions with consumers. In 2020, we undertook a comprehensive global business review focused on building consumer-centric growth. The review resulted in our Full Potential plan, which is our multi-year growth strategy that focuses on four pillars to drive growth and enhance long-term profitability and identifies initiatives to unlock growth. Our four pillars of growth are to grow the Champion brand globally, drive growth in Innerwear with brands and products that appeal to younger consumers, drive consumer-centricity by delivering innovative products and improving awareness through investments in brand marketing and digital capabilities, and streamline our global portfolio. In order to deliver this growth and create a more efficient and productive business model, we have launched a multi-year cost savings program intended to self-fund the investments necessary to achieve the Full Potential plan’s objectives. We remain highly confident that our strong brand portfolio, world-class supply chain and diverse category and geographic footprint will help us unlock our full potential, deliver long-term growth and create stockholder value.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, we began the implementation of our Full Potential plan and as part of our strategy to streamline our portfolio, we determined that our personal protective equipment (“PPE”) business was no longer a growth opportunity for us and recorded a charge to write down our entire PPE inventory balance to its estimated net realizable value. Additionally, we commenced an initiative to reduce 20% of our SKUs in inventory in order to streamline product offerings while also implementing a formal lifecycle management process.
In the first quarter of 2021, we announced that as part of our strategic plan, we were exploring alternatives for our European Innerwear business and subsequently reached the decision to exit this business. We determined that our European Innerwear business met held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria during the first quarter of 2021. Accordingly, we began to separately report the results of our European Innerwear business as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and to present the related assets and liabilities as held for sale in the Condensed

Consolidated Balance Sheets. See note “Discontinued Operations” to our condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. On November 4, 2021, we announced that we have reached an agreement to sell our European Innerwear business to an affiliate of Regent, L.P., pending the completion of consultation with the European and French works councils representing employees of the European Innerwear business and customary closing conditions. Under the agreement, the purchaser will receive all the assets and operating liabilities of the European Innerwear business for a purchase price of one Euro, subject to a post-closing adjustment to reflect any deviation at closing from a normalized level of working capital. Under the agreement, there is also a potential earnout due to us based on future performance. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022.
Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
As the global impact of COVID-19 continues, our priority has been to protect the health and safety of our employees and customers around the world. To help mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus and in response to health advisories and governmental actions and regulations, we have modified our business practices and have implemented health and safety measures that are designed to protect employees in our corporate, retail, distribution and manufacturing facilities around the world.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business operations and financial results for the third quarter and nine months ofended 2021 and 2020 as described in more detail under “Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations - Third Quarter Ended September 26, 2020October 2, 2021 Compared with Third Quarter Ended September 28, 2019”26, 2020” and “Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended September 26, 2020October 2, 2021 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 28, 2019”26, 2020” below, primarily through reduced traffic and closures of company-operated and third-party retail locations for portions of each of the periods in certain markets and global supply chain disruptions. Global supply chain disruptions primarily due to decreased customer trafficport congestion, transportation delays as well as labor and temporary retail store closures worldwide. While mostcontainer shortages have resulted in higher operating costs and higher levels of our retail stores were temporarily closed for varying periods of time throughout the second quarter, most reopened by the end of the second quarter but have experienced, and are expected to continue to experience, reductions in customer traffic and therefore, net sales. In addition, many of our wholesale customers have also experienced business disruptions, including lower traffic and consumer demand, resulting in decreased shipments to these customers. Sales of personal protective equipment (“PPE”), used to help mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus, partially offset the negative impact of the decline in net sales and earnings due to the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results. Our e-commerce sites have remained open in all regions and online sales have grown as consumer spending continued to shift towards online shopping experiences due to the changing retail landscape as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While many retail stores have reopened and government restrictions have been removed or lightened, the ultimateinflation. The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly uncertain, and could continue to have a material adverse impact on

our business and results of operations, and financial results, including our net sales,revenues, earnings and cash flows, for the remainder of 2020, and beyond, as a result of:
quarantines, facility closures, event cancellations and other restrictions;
risk of future additional temporary closures of our retail stores and retail stores in which our products are sold;
decreased customer traffic in our retail stores and retail stores in which our products are sold;
changes in consumer confidence and consumer spending habits, including spending for the merchandise that we sell and negative trends in consumer purchasing patterns due to changes in consumers’ disposable income, credit availability and debt levels;
decreased wholesale channel sales and increased likelihood of wholesale customer bankruptcy or financial distress, including requests for extended payment terms or potential payment defaults;
disruption to our global supply chain including the manufacturing, supply, distribution, transportation and delivery of our products; and
a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies, and an uncertain global economic outlook or a potential credit crisis.
In the nine months ended September 26, 2020, we recorded $11 million of bad debt charges for customer bankruptcies, $20 million of charges to reserve for increased excess and obsolete inventory related primarily to canceled orders of seasonal inventory and $20 million of charges for the impairment of intangible assets primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the quarter ended September 26, 2020, we recorded $49 million of supply chain re-start up charges primarily related to incremental costs incurred, such as freight and sourcing premiums, to expedite product to meet customer demand following the extended shut-down of parts of our manufacturing network as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In connection with the annual goodwill impairment testing performed in the third quarter of 2020, we performed a quantitative assessment utilizing an income approach to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. The most significant assumptions include the weighted average cost of capital, revenue growth rate, terminal growth rate and operating profit margin, all of which are used to estimate the fair value of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The tests indicated the reporting units had fair values that exceeded their carrying values. Certain reporting units, including Hanes Europe Innerwear and U.S. Hosiery, are consideredcould continue to be at a higher risk for future impairment if any assumptions used in the estimate of the reporting units’ fair values change in the future given their respective fair values exceeded their carrying values by less than 20% and trends in the associated businesses indicate a declining fair value. In particular, as of September 26, 2020, the fair value of the Hanes Europe Innerwear reporting unit is slightly higher than its carrying value. The combined goodwill associated with these reporting units was approximately $120 million. Additionally, in connection with the annual impairment testing, we performed a quantitative assessment, utilizing an income approach to estimate the fair value of each indefinite-lived intangible asset. The tests indicated the indefinite-lived intangible assets have fair values that exceeded their carrying values. Certain indefinite-lived trademarks are considered to be at a higher risk for future impairment if any assumptions used in the estimate of the trademarks’ fair value change in the future given their respective fair values exceeded their carrying values by less than 20% and trends in the associated businesses indicate a declining fair value. As of September 26, 2020, we considered four trademarks within the Hanes Europe Innerwear business to be at a higher risk for future impairment. The carrying value of these four indefinite-lived trademarks was approximately $80 million. Although we determined that no impairment exists for our goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets, these assets could be at risk for future impairment should global economic conditions continue to deteriorate beyond current expectations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We have been taking steps to mitigate the potential risks to us posed by the spread and related circumstances and impacts of COVID-19. We are focused on addressing these recent challenges by preserving our liquidity and managing our cash flow with preemptive actions designed to enhance our ability to meet our short-term liquidity needs. Such actions have included, but are not limited to, focusing on channels that continue to generate sales, including mass retail and online; selling PPE, such as cloth face coverings and gowns; operating our manufacturing and distribution facilities on a demand-adjusted basis; reducing our discretionary spending such as certain media and marketing expenses; focused working capital management; reducing capital expenditures; suspending our share repurchase program until further notice which is currently prohibited under the Senior Secured Credit Facility; reducing payroll costs through temporary employee furloughs and pay cuts; working globally to maximize our participation in all eligible government or other initiatives available to businesses or employees impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; engaging with landlords to negotiate rent deferrals or other rent concessions; issuing new debt and amending certain existing debt facilities. These efforts may not be enough to offset anticipated declines in net sales and earnings and we may not be able to access sufficient additional working capital to meet our liquidity needs.

Outlook for 2020
Our outlook reflects the continued uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our outlook is based on the current business environment, which among other items, reflects the lockdowns and curfews recently put in place in Europe. Our outlook does not reflect any potential impact to the consumer or operating environments should governments or businesses institute additional lockdowns and store closings. Our fiscal year ending January 2, 2021, includes a 53rd week in the fourth quarter. quarter of 2021
We estimate our fourth quarter 20202021 guidance as follows:
Net sales of $1.60approximately $1.71 billion to $1.66 billion including approximately $50 million of PPE sales, approximately $10 million of foreign exchange benefit and an approximately $40 million contribution from the 53rd week;$1.78 billion;
Unfavorable manufacturing variances and higher selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to cause year-over-year operating margin pressure and we expect operatingOperating profit of $154approximately $182 million to $174$202 million;

Cash flow from operating activities of $70approximately $23 million to $170$73 million; and
Capital expenditures of approximately $20 million which includes the impact from higher-than-anticipated PPE inventory.to $30 million.
Seasonality and Other Factors
Absent the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, our operating results are typically subject to some variability due to seasonality and other factors. For instance, we have historically generated higher sales during the back-to-school and holiday shopping seasons and during periods of cooler weather, which benefits certain product categories such as fleece. Sales levels in any period are also impacted by customerour customers’ decisions to increase or decrease their inventory levels in response to anticipated consumer demand. Our customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules 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. We expect the duration and scope

Table of the COVID-19 pandemic to alter these patterns at least through the remainder of 2020.Contents
Although the majority of our products are replenishment in nature and tend to be purchased by consumers on a planned, rather than on an impulse basis, our sales are impacted by discretionary consumer spending trends. Discretionary spending is affected by many factors that are outside our control, including, among others, general business conditions, interest rates, inflation, consumer debt levels, the availability of consumer credit, currency exchange rates, taxation, energy prices, unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending. 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. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to result in decreased consumer confidence and lower consumer spending. As a result, consumers may choose to purchase fewer of our products, 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.
Disruptions to the global supply chain due to factory closures, port congestion, container shortages, trucking capacity shortages, transportation delays and labor shortages may negatively impact product availability, revenue growth and gross margins. Global supply chain disruptions could also cause our business to be affected by inflation which we would work to mitigate through a combination of cost savings and operating efficiencies, as well as pricing actions, which could have an adverse impact on demand.
Changes in product sales mix can impact our gross profit as the percentage of our sales attributable to higher margin products, such as intimate apparel and men’s underwear, and lower margin products, such as seasonal and replenishable activewear, fluctuate from time to time. In addition, sales attributable to higher and lower margin products within the same product category fluctuate from time to time. Our customers may change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice to us, which makes trends in product sales mix difficult to predict. However, certain changes in product sales mix are seasonal in nature, as sales of socks, hosiery and fleece products generally have higher sales during the last two quarters (July to December) of each fiscal year as a result of cooler weather, back-to-school shopping and holidays, while other changes in product mix may be attributable to consumers’ preferences and discretionary spending.

Net Sales
Net sales and profit trends across certain of our apparel businesses continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of our retail stores were reopened by the end of the second quarter but have experienced and are expected to continue to experience reductions in traffic and therefore, net sales. Our online sales increased in6% during the third quarter of 2020 as consumer spending continued to shift towards online shopping experiences due to the changing retail landscape as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the third quarter of 2020, we sold PPE globally to governments, large organizations, business-to-business customers and consumers for use to help mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Net sales decreased 3% during2021 versus the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to the following:
The disruption of certain of our U.S.Strong consumer demand and International apparel businesses related to the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; and
The exit of our C9 Champion mass program and the DKNY intimate apparel license in 2019 which, together, represented approximately $119 million of net salespoint-of-sale trends in the third quarter of 2019;
Partially offset by:
Net sales of PPE of $179 millionU.S., Europe, the Americas, and certain markets in the third quarter of 2020;
Increased net sales in certain of our apparel businesses resulting from retailers replenishing inventory levels as stores re-opened after temporary closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic;Asia; and
The favorable impact from foreign exchange rates in our International business of approximately $14$8 million.
Partially offset by:
The exit of the PPE business as part of our Full Potential plan, which contributed net sales of $179 million in the third quarter of 2020; and
Net sales in Australia and Japan were negatively impacted due to extended government COVID-19 related lockdowns in the third quarter of 2021.

Other Highlights
Other Expenses – Other expenses decreased $3 million in the third quarter of 20202021 compared to the third quarter of 20192020 primarily due to lower pension expense and lower funding fees for sales of accounts receivable to financial institutions in 2020.2021.

Innerwear
Innerwear net sales increased 37% compared to the third quarter of 2019 driven by $166 million of net sales of PPE and by an 11% and a 5% increase in net sales in our basics and intimate apparel businesses, respectively, primarily as a result of retailers replenishing inventory levels as stores re-opened after temporary closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In our basics business, we experienced growth in each product category. In our intimate apparel business, the increase in bra sales more than offset the decline in shapewear sales, which is a category that continues to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Excluding $13 million and $3 million of net sales in the third quarter of 2019 from the exited C9 Champion mass program and the DKNY intimate apparel license, net sales in our basics and intimate apparel business increased 15% and 7%, respectively.
Innerwear operating margin was 21.7%, an increase from 21.0% in the same period a year ago. Operating margin enhancement resulted primarily from fixed cost leverage from higher sales and temporary cost reduction initiatives.
Activewear
Activewear net sales decreased 41% compared to the third quarter last year primarily as a result of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our sports apparel business due to school closures and event cancellations and COVID-19 related service issues in our Champion business. In addition, the exit of the C9 Champion massprogram in 2019 represented approximately $103 million of the net sales decrease in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019.
Activewear operating margin decreased as a result of lower sales, including the exit of the C9 Champion mass program, unfavorable manufacturing variances, increased inventory reserves on non-Champion brands and higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales. Lower variable costs as a result of decreased net sales and temporary cost savings initiatives implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic reduced selling, general and administrative costs, but not at the same rate as the decline in sales.

Innerwear
Innerwear net sales decreased 11% compared to the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to our exit of the PPE business in 2021 as a result of the implementation of our Full Potential plan. Net sales of PPE represented $166 million of the decrease in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020. This decrease was partially offset by increases in all of our core apparel categories. Net sales in our Men’s, Kids and Socks businesses increased mid-to-high single digits and net sales in our Women’s business increased approximately 20%, driven by strong point-of-sale growth across channels in the third quarter of 2021.
Innerwear operating margin was 21.0%, a decrease from 21.7% in the same period a year ago due to fixed cost deleverage from lower sales, higher transportation costs, increased investments in brand marketing and higher levels of inflation. The third quarter of 2020 also included operating profit related to the PPE business that was exited.
Activewear
Activewear net sales increased 42% compared to the third quarter last year driven by lower comparable sales in the third quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns. We experienced growth in all product categories, including double-digit growth in both the Champion and Hanes brands. We experienced strong point-of-sale trends across several channels in the third quarter of 2021.
Activewear operating margin was 16.5%, an increase from 9.1% in the same period a year ago. Operating margin improvement primarily resulted from fixed cost leverage from higher sales and favorable sales mix, which more than offset increased investments in brand marketing.
International
Net sales in the International segment decreased 5%increased 6% as a result of lower sales in the third quarter of 2020 due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic partially offsetpandemic. Net sales grew in the Americas, Europe and certain markets in Asia driven by strong consumer demand for our brands while net sales in Australia and Japan were negatively impacted due to extended government COVID-19 related lockdowns in the third quarter of 2021. The favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates increased net sales approximately $8 million in the third quarter of approximately $14 million.2021. International net sales on a constant currency basis, defined as net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency, decreased 7%increased 4%. The impact of foreign exchange rates is calculated by applying prior period exchange rates to the current year financial results. Excluding the impact from foreign exchange rates, we experienced growth in our Americas and Champion Europe businesses. This growth was more than offset by declines in our European innerwear, Asia and Australia businesses, where COVID-19 related challenges have slowed the retail recovery. Sales of PPE increased International segment net sales by $13 million in theThe third quarter of 2020.2020 included net sales of PPE of $13 million.
International operating margin was 15.2%16.1%, a decrease from 16.2%20.0% in the same period a year ago, resultingago. The decrease in operating margin primarily resulted from lower sales volume, which wasfixed cost deleverage due to COVID-19 related shutdowns in Australia and Japan in the third quarter of 2021 and increased investments in brand marketing partially offset by continued selling, generalfixed cost leverage from higher sales in the Americas, Europe and administrative cost management.certain markets in Asia and the favorable impact from foreign exchange rates.
Other
Other net sales decreased as a result of continued declines in hosieryincreased primarily due to increased sales in the United States and decreased traffic at our retail outlets during the third quarter of 20202021 as a result of stores reopening after temporary store closures during the third quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating margin decreasedincreased due to the decreaseincrease in sales volume.
We expect to continue certain sales from our supply chain to the European Innerwear business after the sale of the business. Those sales and the related profit are included in Other in all periods presented and have not been eliminated as intercompany transactions in consolidation.

Net Sales
Net sales decreased 7% during the nine months of 2020 primarily due to the following:
The disruption of our U.S. and International apparel businesses related to the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including temporary closures of retail stores owned and operated by us, as well as canceled orders from our wholesale brick-and-mortar customers;
The exit of our C9 Champion mass program and the DKNY intimate apparel license in 2019 which, together, represented approximately $332 million of net sales in the nine months of 2019; and
The unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rates in our International business of approximately $20 million.
Partially offset by:
Net sales of PPE of $931 million in the nine months of 2020.
Operating Profit
Operating profit as a percentage of net sales was 9.3%, representing a decrease from 12.4% in the prior year. Decreased operating profit was the result of lower sales volume in our apparel businesses including the exit of our C9 Champion mass program in 2019, higher manufacturing variances as a result of decreases in manufacturing facility production levels in our global supply chain due to the business disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, increased inventory reserves and higher bad debt expense. These decreases were partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses driven by ongoing cost controls and temporary cost savings initiatives implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Included in operating profit in the nine months of 2020 and 2019 were restructuring and other action-related charges of $145 million and $44 million, respectively, including supply chain restructuring charges, asset write-down charges recorded as a result of the on-going effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain re-start up charges primarily related to incremental costs incurred, such as freight and sourcing premiums, to expedite productdelivery to meet customer demand following the extended shut-down of parts of our manufacturing network as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Supply chain actions in the third quarter of 2020 include actions to reduce overhead costs. Program exit charges are costs incurred during the third quarter of 2020 associated with exiting the C9

Net Sales
Net sales increased 14% during the nine months of 2021 versus the nine months of 2020 primarily due to the following:
Retailers continuing to replenish inventory levels as well as strong consumer demand and point-of-sale trends as stores reopened after temporary closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic and incremental sales partially as a result of higher U.S. government stimulus spending;
A lower sales comparison in the nine months of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns; and
The favorable impact from foreign exchange rates in our International business of approximately $102 million.
Partially offset by:
The exit of the PPE business as part of our Full Potential plan, which contributed net sales of $792 million in the nine months of 2020.
Operating Profit
Operating profit as a percentage of net sales was 12.7% for the nine months of 2021, representing an increase from 9.9% in the prior year.

Included in operating profit in the nine months of 2021 were charges of $67 million related to the implementation of our Full Potential plan. Included in operating profit in the nine months of 2020 were charges of $109 million primarily related to supply chain actions, program exits, asset write-down charges recorded as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain re-startup charges related to incremental costs incurred, such as freight and sourcing premiums, to expedite product delivery to meet customer demand following the extended shut-down of parts of our manufacturing network as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Other Highlights
Other Expenses – Other expenses decreased $7$9 million in the nine months of 20202021 compared to the same period in 20192020 due to lower pension expense and lower funding fees for sales of accounts receivable to financial institutions in 2020.2021.
Interest Expense – Interest expense was lowerhigher by $15$7 million in the nine months of 20202021 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily2020, driven by the impact of the cross-currency swap contracts entered into in July 2019 and a lowerhigher weighted average interest rate on our borrowings partially offset by higher outstanding debt balances.during the nine months of 2021 and interest expense on cross-currency swap contracts entered into on April 1, 2021 that are being used to hedge foreign currency cash flows. Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 3.71%4.12% for the nine months of 2020,2021, compared to 4.13%3.90% for the nine months of 2019.2020.
Income Tax Expense – Our effective income tax rate was 17.5%10.9% and 14.3%14.2% for the nine months of 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The higherlower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 26, 2020of 2021 was primarily due to tax benefits related to the adjustments of prior year tax returns and approval of certain filings by taxing authorities during the nine months of 2021 and the change in jurisdictional mix of income attributableincome.
DiscontinuedOperations – The results of our discontinued operations include the operations of our European Innerwear business which we reached the decision to exit at the end of the first quarter of 2021 in connection with our Full Potential plan. See note “Discontinued Operations” to our condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of non-cash asset impairment charges and non-cash charges to record a valuation allowance against the net assets held for sale to write down the carrying value to the economic impactsestimated fair value less costs of COVID-19. During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, the Internal Revenue Service closed the examination of the income tax years ended January 2, 2016 and December 31, 2016.

We have principal and interest obligations under our debt and ongoing financial covenants under those debt facilities. In March 2021, we repaid the outstanding balance of Term Loan B which consisted of a required excess cash flow prepayment of $239 million and a voluntary prepayment of $61 million. We intend to refinance our Senior Secured Credit Facility in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to market conditions, and redeem our 5.375% Senior Notes using proceeds from the transaction and cash on hand.
We have invested in efforts to accelerate worldwide omnichannel and global growth initiatives, as well as marketing and brand building.
We have launched a multi-year cost savings program intended to self-fund the investments necessary to achieve our Full Potential plan’s objectives.
We expect capital investments of approximately $185 million per year through 2024 as part of our Full Potential plan.
In the future, we may pursue strategic business acquisitions or divestitures.
We made a contribution of $40 million to our U.S. pension plan in the nine months ended October 2, 2021. We may also elect to make additional voluntary contributions.
We may increase or decrease the portion of the current-year income of our foreign subsidiaries that we remit to the United States, which could impact our effective income tax rate. Consistent with our investment strategy as it pertains to our historical foreign earnings as of January 2, 2021, we intend to remit foreign earnings totaling $668 million.
We are obligated to make installment payments over an eight-year period related to our transition tax liability resulting from the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which began in 2018, in addition to any estimated income taxes due based on current year taxable income. In the nine months ended October 2, 2021, we made an installment payment of $10 million on our transition tax liability. We currently have a remaining balance due of approximately $41 million to be paid in installment payments through 2025.

Operating Activities
Our overall liquidity has historically been driven by our cash flow provided by operating activities, which is dependent on net income and changes in our working capital. As compared to the prior year, higher net cash provided by operating activities was due to changes in working capital primarily accounts payable, partially offset by accounts receivable and inventory. Higher profitability also drove improved year over year cash flow. Net cash from operating activities includes a $40 million and a $25 million contribution to our U.S. pension plan made in the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Investing Activities
Investing activities in the nine months of 2021 and 2020 primarily include capital investments into our business. The increase in cash used by investing activities in the nine months of 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily the result of an increase in capital investments into our business as we manage our spending on our focused strategic goals.
Financing Activities
Net cash from financing activities decreased primarily as a result of lower borrowings as compared to the same period of 2020. We increased our borrowings in the nine months of 2020 primarily to strengthen our cash position and to provide us with additional financial flexibility to manage our business during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the nine months of 2021, we repaid the outstanding balance of Term Loan B which consisted of a required excess cash flow prepayment of $239 million and a voluntary prepayment of $61 million. We repurchased shares at a total cost of $200 million in the nine months of 2020.
Financing Arrangements
In March 2021, we amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. This amendment primarily decreased the fluctuating facility limit to $175 million (previously $225 million) and extended the maturity date to June 2022. Additionally, the amendment changed certain ratios and borrowing base calculations, raised pricing and added certain receivables to the pledged collateral pool for the facility. In July 2021, the Australian Revolving Loan Facility, originally entered into in July 2016, was amended to extend the maturity date to July 2022 and to reduce the bilateral cash advance limit from A$50 million to A$46 million with an offsetting increase in the bank overdraft limit from A$10 million to A$14 million.
In April 2020, given the rapidly changing business environment and level of uncertainty being created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated impact on future earnings, we amended our Senior Secured Credit Facility prior to any potential covenant violation in order to modify the financial covenants and to provide operating flexibility during the COVID-19 crisis. The amendment effects changes tochanged certain provisions and covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility during the period beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 27, 2020 and continuing through the fiscal quarter endingended July 3, 2021, (such periodafter which our covenants were to revert to their original, pre-amendment levels. We voluntarily terminated the covenant relief amendment when we submitted our April 3, 2021 compliance certificate. After termination, the covenants reverted to their original, pre-amendment levels for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2021.
We believe our financing structure provides a secure base to support our operations and key business strategies. As of time, the “Covenant Relief Period”), including: (a) suspension ofOctober 2, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our credit facilities and other outstanding indebtedness. We continue to monitor our covenant compliance carefully. Under the maximum leverage ratio; (b) reductionterms of theour Senior Secured Credit Facility, among other financial and non-financial covenants, we are required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio from 3.00 to 1.00 to (i) 2.00 to 1.00and a maximum leverage ratio.

During the Covenant Relief Period, the applicable margin and applicable commitment fee margin will be calculated assuming the leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00. The amendment also permanently amends the definition of “leverage ratio” for purposes of the financial covenant calculation to remove the maximum amount of cash allowed to be netted from the definition of “indebtedness” and to allow for the netting of cash from certain foreign subsidiaries. Senior Secured Credit Facility.
We expect to maintain compliance with our covenants for at least one year from the issuancedate of these financial statements based on our current expectations and forecasts.forecasts, 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, 2021 or other SEC filings could cause noncompliance. If economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic do not continue to improve or otherwise worsen, including as a result of any new virus variants or vaccine distribution or efficacy, and our earnings and operating cash flows do not startcontinue to recover as currently estimated by us,management, this could impact our ability to maintain compliance with our financial covenants and require us to seek additional amendments to our Senior Secured Credit Facility. If we are not able to obtain such necessary additional amendments, this would lead to an event of default and, if not cured timely, our lenders could require us to repay our outstanding debt. In that situation, we may not be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay the lenders.
In May 2020, we issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes which will mature on May 15, 2025. The net proceeds from the issuance of $691 million were usedWe intend to repay all outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Loan Facility, pay related fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes.
In September 2020, we amended the European Revolving Loan Facility primarily to extend the maturity date to December 2020.
We cannot assure you that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will remain accurate due to the unprecedented nature of the disruption to our operations and the unpredictability of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a consequence, our estimates of the duration of the pandemic and the severity of the impact on our future earnings and cash flows could change and have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. We believe we have sufficient cash and available borrowings for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements based on our current expectations and forecasts.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from global operations and cash available under our Revolving Loan Facility, our Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility and our international loan facilities, including our Australian Revolving Loan Facility and our European Revolving Loan Facility.

The following have impacted or may impact our liquidity:
The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business as discussed above under “Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business.”
For the nine months ended September 26, 2020 and prior to the expansion of COVID-19, we entered into transactions to repurchase approximately 14.5 million shares of our common stock at a total cost of $200 million. At September 26, 2020, the remaining repurchase authorization under our current share repurchase program totaled approximately 25.5 million shares. While we may repurchase additional shares of our common stock in the future, the program has been suspended in connection with the amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Facility described above.
We have historically paid a regular quarterly dividend. The declaration of any future dividends and, if declared, the amount of any such dividends, will be subject to our actual future earnings, capital requirements, regulatory restrictions, debt covenants, other contractual restrictions and to the discretion of our Board of Directors.
We have principal and interest obligations under our debt and ongoing financial covenants under those debt facilities, even after taking into account recent amendments.
We have invested in efforts to accelerate worldwide omnichannel and global growth initiatives, as well as marketing and brand building. We anticipate capital expenditures to decrease for the remainder of 2020 compared to the prior year as we tightly manage spending to help mitigate the potential negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and liquidity.
We expect to continue to invest in efforts to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs.
Although currently prohibited underrefinance our Senior Secured Credit Facility in the future, we may pursue strategic business acquisitions.

Operating Activities
Our overall liquidity has historically been driven by our cash flow provided by operating activities, which is dependent on net income and changes in our working capital, and is subject to certain risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We typically use cash during the first half of the year and generate most of our cash flow in the second half of the year. As compared to the prior year, the lower net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower net income partially offset by improved working capital management. Cash used by operating activities includes a $25 million and a $26 million contribution to our U.S. pension plan made in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Investing Activities
The decrease in cash used by investing activities in the nine months of 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily the result of a decrease in capital investments into our business to support our global growth initiatives in 2020 and the indemnification escrow payment of $21 million related to the Bras N Things acquisition made during the third quarter of 2019. We anticipate capital expenditures to decrease for the remainder of the year compared to the prior year as we tightly manage spending to help mitigate the potential negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and liquidity.
Financing Activities
Net cash from financing activities increased primarily as a result of higher borrowings as compared to the same period of 2019 resulting from the issuance of $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes will require payment of a make-whole premium, which along with transaction fees is estimated to result in May 2020. We increased our borrowingsa one-time charge of approximately $45 million in the nine months of 2020 primarily to strengthen our cash position and to provide us with additional financial flexibility to manage our business with a safety-first emphasis during the unknown duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, in the firstfourth quarter of 2020, we repurchased shares at a total cost of $200 million.
Financing Arrangements
In March 2020, we amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. This amendment primarily decreased the fluctuating facility limit to $225 million (previously $300 million) and extended the maturity date to March 2021. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in May 2020, we amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility which changed certain ratios, inserted a floor and raised pricing, as well as removed certain receivables from being pledged as collateral for the facility, increased limits on other receivables pledged as collateral and required us to maintain the same minimum liquidity covenant contained in the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
In May 2020, we issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes. The net proceeds of $691 million from the issuance were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Loan Facility, pay related fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes.
In September 2020, we amended the European Revolving Loan Facility primarily to extend the maturity date to December 2020.
We believe our financing structure provides a secure base to support our operations and key business strategies. As of September 26, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our credit facilities and other outstanding indebtedness. We continue to monitor our covenant compliance carefully. Under the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. The interest coverage

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation expense and amortization, as computed pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility. In April 2020, given the rapidly changing environment and level of uncertainty being created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated impact on future earnings, we amended our Senior Secured Credit Facility prior to any potential covenant violation in order to modify the financial covenants and to provide operating flexibility during the COVID-19 crisis. We expect to maintain compliance with our covenants for at least one year from the date of these financial statements based on our current expectations and forecasts, 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 28, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2020 or other SEC filings could cause noncompliance.2021.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019.January 2, 2021.
The application of critical accounting policies requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may retain outside consultants to assist in our evaluation. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations in the period in which the actual amounts become known. The critical accounting policies that involve the most significant management judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019.January 2, 2021. There have been no material changes in these policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019.January 2, 2021.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For a summary of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to our condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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 28, 2019.January 2, 2021.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 26, 2020 due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described in management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019.
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have determined, based on the procedures we have performed, that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly represent in all material respects our financial

condition, results of operations and cash flows at September 26, 2020 and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Remediation Plan for Material Weakness
Management continues to enhance its internal control over financial reporting and to take steps to remediate the material weakness identified during the year ended December 28, 2019 related to income taxes. During the quarter ended June 27, 2020, we made progress in our remediation of the control deficiency noted above. In order to remediate the material weakness in our internal controls related to accounting for income taxes, management enhanced processes and internal controls related to deferred income taxes, effective income tax rate reconciliation and related disclosures. These enhanced controls include documentation evidencing the effective design and operation of annual and quarterly controls related to various aspects of deferred taxes and tax rate reconciliation. 
We believe the measures described above will remediate the control deficiencies we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address control deficiencies, or we may modify certain of the remediation measures described above. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.October 2, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief 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.
PART II

Item 1.Legal Proceedings
Although we are subject to various claims and legal actions that occur from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we are not party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 1A.Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider theThe risk factors that affect our business and financial results that are discussed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019 and in Part II, Item 1A, of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2020. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019, except for the following risk factor which supplements and updates the risk factors previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2020:
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) global pandemic has had and is expected to continue to have an adverse impact on our business.
The COVID-19 global pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted consumer spending and global supply chains, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. We expect the COVID-19 global pandemic to have a material impact on our business, including our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on our business, including our ability to execute our near-term and long-term business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the effect on our suppliers and disruptions to the global supply chain; our ability to sell and provide our products, including as a result of travel restrictions and people working from home; restrictions or disruptions to transportation, including reduced availability of ground or air transport; and the ability of our customers to pay for our services and products.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has significantly impacted economic activity and markets throughout the world. In response, governmental authorities have implemented numerous measures in an attempt to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business shutdowns. These actions, as well as decisions we have made to protect the health and safety of our employees, consumers and communities, have adversely impacted our financial results and may continue to do so in the future. We may face additional store closure requirements and other operational restrictions with respect to some or all of our physical locations for prolonged periods of time due to, among other factors, evolving and increasingly stringent governmental restrictions including public health directives, quarantine policies or social distancing measures. In addition, many of our customers, including significant customers in our wholesale distribution channels, may close many of their stores, which will adversely impact our revenues from these customers. As a result, our financial results could be materially adversely impacted.
Consumer fears about becoming ill with the disease may continue, which will continue to adversely affect traffic to our and our customers' stores. Consumer spending generally may also be negatively impacted by general macroeconomic conditions and consumer confidence, including a significant economic downturn, resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic. This may negatively impact sales in our stores and our e-commerce channel and may cause our wholesale customers to purchase fewer products from us. The continued significant reduction in consumer visits to, and spending at, our and our customers' stores, caused by COVID-19, and any decreased spending at retail stores or online caused by decreased consumer confidence and spending following the pandemic, would result in a loss of sales and profits and other material adverse effects, including customer bankruptcies which could reduce or eliminate our anticipated income and cash flows, which would negatively affect our results of operations and liquidity. Even if customers do not declare bankruptcy, they may seek to extend payment terms or be unable or unwilling to pay us amounts that we are entitled to on a timely basis or at all, which would adversely affect our sales and liquidity.
The COVID-19 global pandemic resulted in the temporary shut-down of many of our supply chain facilities, and we experienced significant costs associated with reopening those facilities. The pandemic continues to have the potential to significantly impact our supply chain if the factories that manufacture our products, the distribution centers where we manage our inventory, or the operations of our logistics and other service providers are disrupted, temporarily closed or experience worker shortages. We may also see disruptions or delays in shipments and negative impacts to pricing of certain components of our products.
In addition, the impact of COVID-19 on macroeconomic conditions may impact the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates. Even after the COVID-19 global pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future.
A disruption of global financial markets as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic could have a negative impact on our ability to access capital in the future.
As a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, including related guidance or requirements of governmental or other authorities, we also have implemented a work from home policy for many of our corporate employees. This policy may negatively impact productivity and cause other disruptions to our business.
The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on our business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as information is rapidly evolving with respect to the duration and severity of the pandemic.January 2, 2021.
