Montréal, Thursday, May 13, 2010– Gildan Activewear Inc. (GIL; TSX and NYSE) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of its 2010 fiscal year. The Company also updated the sales and margin assumptions in its outlook for the full fiscal year, as well as its capital expenditure and capacity expansion plans to support its continuing sales growth and cost reduction objectives. In addition, the Company provided an update on its retail strategy and indicated that it had received two major vendor awards from Walmart.
Second Quarter Sales and Earnings
Gildan reported net earnings of U.S. $48.8 million and diluted EPS of U.S. $0.40 for its second fiscal quarter ended April 4, 2010, after reflecting a restructuring charge of U.S. $0.01 per share related to the consolidation of its U.S. distribution activities announced on December 10, 2009. Earnings and EPS were a record for the second quarter of any fiscal year. Before restructuring charges, adjusted net earnings amounted to U.S. $49.8 million or U.S. $0.41 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to U.S. $7.2 million or U.S. $0.06 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The significant increase in net earnings and EPS in the second quarter compared to last year was due to strong growth in activewear and underwear unit sales volumes, more favourable manufacturing, cotton and energy costs, and more favourable activewear product-mix, partially offset by the U.S. $0.03 per share impact of transitional manufacturing inefficiencies due to the Haiti earthquake, and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Results for the second quarter were significantly ahead of the assumptions in the Company’s full year outlook provided on February 9, 2010, as more favourable than projected net selling prices, unit sales volumes and product-mix in the U.S. wholesale distributor channel more than offset higher than projected selling, general and administrative expenses and the later timing of shipments of socks, which is expected to benefit the second half of the fiscal year.
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 amounted to U.S. $326.8 million, up 33.5% from U.S. $244.8 million in the second quarter of last year. Sales of activewear and underwear were U.S. $273.2 million, up 51.0% from U.S. $180.9 million last year, and
1
sales of socks were U.S. $53.6 million, down 16.3% from last year, primarily due to the timing of replenishment and the transition to new programs for mass-market retailers, which are expected to benefit sock shipments in the second half of the fiscal year.
The strong recovery in sales of activewear and underwear compared to fiscal 2009 was due to higher market share in the U.S. wholesale distributor channel, the non-recurrence of distributor destocking which occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, a 3.4% increase in overall industry demand in the U.S. distributor channel, increased penetration of international and other screenprint markets and the impact of more favourable activewear product-mix, together with significantly increased shipments of underwear and activewear to retail customers. The second quarter of fiscal 2010 was the first quarter since the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to benefit from positive growth in overall industry demand in the U.S. distributor channel. The positive trend in market recovery continued to improve each month during the quarter, with the month of March showing overall industry growth of 8.9%. Net selling prices for activewear were essentially flat compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
The table below summarizes the data from the S.T.A.R.S. report produced by ACNielsen Market Decisions, which tracks unit volume shipments of activewear from U.S. wholesale distributors to U.S. screenprinters, for the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2010.

At the end of the March quarter, overall inventories in the U.S. distributor channel were down by 5.5% compared with a year ago. Gildan’s share of distributor inventories was 50.9% at March 31, 2010, compared with its market share of 64.4% for the quarter as shown above. Preliminary S.T.A.R.S. data for the month of April has continued to be strong.
Consolidated gross margins in the second quarter were 27.8%, compared to 15.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in gross margins compared to last year was primarily due to gains in manufacturing efficiencies, lower cotton and energy costs and more favourable activewear product-mix, partially offset by the impact of the inefficiencies due to the Haiti earthquake.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter were U.S. $38.7 million, compared to U.S. $30.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in SG&A expenses from last year was primarily due to the impact of the higher-valued Canadian dollar on corporate administrative expenses, and higher performance-driven variable compensation expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to 11.8% of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 12.6% of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Year-to-date Sales and Earnings
Net earnings for the first six months of fiscal 2010 were U.S. $76.7 million, or U.S. $0.63 per share on a diluted basis, compared with net earnings of U.S. $11.4 million or U.S. $0.09 per share for the same period last year. Net earnings before restructuring and other charges were U.S. $78.9 million or U.S. $0.65 per share, compared with adjusted net earnings of U.S. $12.5 million or U.S. $0.10 per share in the first six months of fiscal 2009. The significant growth in net earnings and earnings per share was mainly due to lower manufacturing, cotton and energy costs, higher unit sales volumes for activewear and underwear and more favourable product-mix, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses and slightly lower average net selling prices for activewear.
Net sales for the first six months amounted to U.S. $547.2 million, up U.S. $118.4 million or 27.6% from U.S. $428.8 million in the same period last year. Sales of activewear and underwear were U.S. $426.1 million, representing an increase of U.S. $129.4 million or 43.6% from U.S. $296.7 million last year, and sales of socks were U.S. $121.1 million, down U.S. $11.0 million or 8.3% from U.S. $132.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2009. The increase in activewear and underwear sales was due to higher market share and the non-recurrence of inventory destocking in the U.S. distributor channel, increased penetration of other target markets, and more favourable activewear product-mix. These positive factors more than offset the impact of the lower shipments of socks and slightly lower net selling prices for activewear.
Development of Business in Retail Channel
Gildan is proud to announce that is has received two major vendor awards at Walmart’s Annual Supplier Summit held in New York on Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Gildan was named Supplier of the Year for 2009 for its boys’ sock business and also received a special award for product innovation. The Supplier of the Year Award recognized Gildan’s product quality and supply chain excellence in servicing Walmart’s replenishment programs.
The Company has continued to obtain new retail programs, including the family fleece program at a major national discount retailer and activewear programs for three other retailers. In addition, the Company has secured additional shelf-space for existing programs at major national mass-market retailers as well as significant participation in Back-to-School programs for the fall of 2010.
Cash Flows and Capital Expenditure Plans
The Company used cash of U.S. $21.6 million in the second quarter after financing seasonal increases in accounts receivable, capital expenditures of U.S. $34.5 million, primarily for the ramp-up of the Rio Nance IV sock factory in Honduras and the new Barbados head office building, and U.S. $15.3 million for the acquisition of a manufacturing facility in Bangladesh which was announced on March 31, 2010. Inventories declined slightly in the second quarter due to lower activewear finished goods inventory levels, partially offset by the impact of higher raw material and energy costs included in the carrying value of inventory and higher work-in-process inventories. The decrease in activewear finished goods was due to strong demand in the second quarter, combined with the impact of lost production due to the Haiti earthquake.
For the first six months of fiscal 2010, the Company generated free cash flow of U.S. $36.3 million, and at the end of the second quarter the Company had cash and cash equivalents of U.S. $119.1 million.

The Company is increasing its capital expenditure forecast for fiscal 2010 to approximately U.S. $155 million from its previous projection of approximately U.S. $145 million. The Company plans to invest approximately U.S. $20 million to expand its Eden, North Carolina distribution centre, to service demand in the U.S. wholesale distributor channel and further reduce distribution costs. This project will begin in 2010 and be completed in fiscal 2011. In addition, the Company is now planning additional investments to increase the planned production capacity of the new Rio Nance IV sock facility in order to support projected growth in demand. The ramp-up of Rio Nance IV is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company is currently proceeding with the previously announced incremental expansion of existing textile facilities in the Dominican Republic and Honduras, as well as beginning construction of the new Rio Nance V facility. It is also significantly further expanding sewing capacity, in line with the expansion of textile capacity and to support projected growth in sales demand for activewear and underwear.
Outlook
Assuming the continuation of more favourable market conditions, Gildan is now projecting full year sales revenues for fiscal 2010 to be approximately U.S. $1.3 billion, reflecting an increase of approximately 25% compared with fiscal 2009. The Company had previously projected that sales revenues for fiscal 2010 would be in excess of U.S. $1.2 billion, or 17% higher than fiscal 2009. The projected increase in sales revenues compared to the prior forecast is due to higher than previously forecasted unit sales volumes in both the screenprint and retail market channels and more favourable activewear selling prices, including the impact of a selling price increase averaging approximately 3% in the U.S. wholesale distributor channel which has been announced to take effect on July 5, 2010. The Company’s revised full year sales outlook now assumes close to 30% unit sales volume growth in activewear and underwear, compared with its prior projection of 25% growth, and unit sales volume growth of 6% in socks, compared with the Company’s original assumption of 5% growth. Net selling prices for activewear in the second half of the fiscal year are now assumed to be approximately 1% higher than in the second half of fiscal 2009.
Gross margins for the full year are now expected to be close to 27%, compared to the Company’s previous projection of 26%, due primarily to the assumption of more favourable activewear selling prices. The benefit of higher selling prices compared to the previous forecast is expected to be partially offset by the impact of short-term manufacturing inefficiencies to ramp up new sewing capacity and to meet higher than anticipated seasonal sock demand in the second half of the year, in particular the outsourcing of some Back-to-School programs, as well as the impact of currency fluctuations on international sales and slightly higher energy costs in the second half of fiscal 2010 than had been assumed in the Company’s prior forecast.
As reflected in the previous forecast, cotton costs will significantly increase in the second half of fiscal 2010, compared with both the first half of fiscal 2010 and the corresponding period of fiscal 2009. Although gross margins are expected to be lower in the second half of fiscal 2010 than in the first half, due primarily to higher cotton costs, the Company currently expects to fully offset the impact of anticipated higher year-over-year cotton costs in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010 as a result of selling price increases and projected gains in manufacturing efficiencies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, free cash flow, total indebtedness, and cash in excess of total indebtedness/net indebtedness. These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by Canadian GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation. The terms and definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release and a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are provided below.
(1) EBITDA
EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization and excludes the impact of restructuring and other charges, as well as the non-controlling interest in the consolidated joint venture. The Company uses EBITDA, among other measures, to assess the operating performance of our business. We also believe this measure is commonly used by investors and analysts to measure a company’s ability to service debt and to meet other payment obligations, or as a common valuation measurement. We exclude depreciation and amortization expenses, which are non-cash in nature and can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods or non-operating factors such as historical cost. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily non-recurring.

(2) Adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings are calculated as net earnings and diluted earnings per share excluding restructuring and other charges net of income tax recovery, as discussed in Note 8 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The Company uses and presents these non-GAAP measures to assess its operating performance from one period to the next without the variation caused by restructuring and other charges that could potentially distort the analysis of trends in our business performance. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily non-recurring.

(3) Free cash flow
Free cash flow is defined as cash from operating activities including net changes in non-cash working capital balances, less cash flow used in investing activities excluding business acquisitions. We consider free cash flow to be an important indicator of the financial strength and performance of our business, because it shows how much cash is available after capital expenditures to repay debt and to reinvest in our business. We believe this measure is commonly used by investors and analysts when valuing a business and its underlying assets.
