	These statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, in accordance with those rules and regulations, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of Hanesbrands Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Hanesbrands”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
	These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
	In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new accounting rules related to new disclosure requirements regarding the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2014 with retrospective application required. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
	Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit
	In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to standardizing the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2014 and applied prospectively. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
	Discontinued Operations
	In April 2014, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to updating the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhancing related disclosures requirements. The new rules are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
	Revenue from Contracts with Customers
	In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to revenue recognition for contracts with customers requiring revenue recognition based on the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services. The new rules supercede prior revenue recognition requirements and most industry-specific accounting guidance. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017 with retrospective application required. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

	Acquisitions
	DBApparel Acquisition
	In August 2014, MFB International Holdings S.à r.l. (“MF Lux”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired DBA Lux Holding S.A. (“DBA”) from SLB Brands Holdings, Ltd and certain individual DBA shareholders in an all-cash transaction equal to €400,000 enterprise value less net debt and working capital adjustments as defined in the purchase agreement. Total purchase price was €297,031 (approximately $391,861 based on acquisition date exchange rates). The acquisition was financed through a combination of cash on hand and third party borrowings.
	DBA contributed net revenues of $81,093 and immaterial pretax earnings as a result of acquisition and integration related charges since the date of acquisition. The results of DBA have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition and are reported as part of the International segment based on geographic location and distribution channel.
	DBA is a leading marketer of intimate apparel, hosiery and underwear in Europe with a portfolio of strong brands including DIM, Nur Die/Nur Der and Lovable. The Company believes the acquisition will create growth and cost savings opportunities and increased scale to serve retailers. DBA utilizes a mix of self-owned manufacturing and third-party manufacturers. Factors that contribute to the amount of goodwill recognized for the acquisition include the value of the existing work force and cost savings by utilizing the Company’s low-cost supply chain and expected synergies with existing Company functions. Goodwill associated with the acquisition is not tax deductible.
	The DIM, Nur Die/Nur Der, Lovable, Shock Absorber, Abanderado, Bellinda, Elbeo and Edoo trademarks and brand names, which management believes to have indefinite lives, have been valued at $272,653. Perpetual license agreements associated with the Playtex and Wonderbra brands, which management believes to have indefinite lives, have been valued at $37,821. Amortizable intangible assets have been assigned values of $40,193 for distribution networks, $12,255 for license and franchise agreements and $2,182 for computer software and other intangibles. Distributor relationships are being amortized over 10 years. License and franchise agreements are being amortized over three to 17 years, respectively. Computer software and other intangibles are amortized over one to three years.
	The allocation of purchase price is preliminary and subject to change. The primary areas of the purchase price that are not yet finalized are related to certain income taxes, working capital adjustments as defined in the purchase agreement and residual goodwill. Accordingly, adjustments will be made to the values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances which existed at the valuation date. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities at the date of acquisition (August 29, 2014) include the following:
	Cash and cash equivalents	$	38,875
	Trade accounts receivable, net	137,396

	Purchase price	$	391,861
	Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements are reported in the “Other current assets” line in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. DBA had restricted cash as of the opening balance sheet date of $8,348, which primarily included escrow deposits and cash restricted due to limitations of foreign currency conversions. As of September 27, 2014, the Company had total restricted cash of $17,546 related to DBA restricted cash items and additional acquisition related escrow deposits.
	In connection with the DBA acquisition, the Company assumed debt, totaling $132,574 as of the acquisition date. Concurrent with the closing, $107,665 was repaid utilizing proceeds from the Euro Term Loan (See Note 6, “Debt”). In addition, $3,528 of debt assumed was repaid since the date of acquisition from operating cash flows. Notes payable of $97,599 is comprised of term loans in France, Italy and Germany as well as asset backed loans in Italy and Germany.
	Unaudited pro forma results of operations for the Company are presented below for quarter-to-date and year-to-date assuming that the 2014 acquisition of DBA had occurred at the beginning of 2013. Pro forma operating results for the quarter ended September 28, 2013 include a net reversal of expenses of $2,506 for acquisition-related charges. Pro forma operating results for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 include expenses totaling $30,915 for acquisition-related charges.

	Maidenform Acquisition
	In October 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Maidenform Brands, Inc. (“Maidenform”) at $23.50 per share for a total purchase price of $580,505. The acquisition was financed through a combination of cash on hand and short-term borrowing on the Company’s revolving credit facility.
	Maidenform is a global intimate apparel brand with a portfolio of well-known brands including Maidenform, Flexees and Lilyette. The Company believes the acquisition will create growth and cost savings opportunities and increased scale to serve retailers. Maidenform sourced all of its products from manufacturers, while the Company utilizes its low cost supply chain supplemented by third party manufacturing to maximize the value of Maidenform to retailers and consumers.

	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) was computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS was calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock using the treasury stock method. The reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:
		Quarter Ended		Nine Months Ended

	As of September 27, 2014, the Company had $640,305 of borrowing availability under the $1,100,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) under its senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) after taking into account outstanding borrowings and $15,695 of standby and trade letters of credit issued and outstanding under this facility.
	In July 2014, the Company amended and restated the Senior Secured Credit Facility to provide for potential aggregate borrowings of $1,600,000, consisting of (a) the existing Revolving Loan Facility, and (b) a new term loan facility with an aggregate principal amount up to the Euro equivalent of $500,000 (the “Euro Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Euro Term Loan are denominated in Euros and were utilized in part to purchase DBA and pay fees and expenses associated with such purchase. The Euro Term Loan accrues interest utilizing the EURIBOR rate (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility) plus 2.75%. and matures in August, 2021. Outstanding borrowings under the Euro Term Loan are repayable in quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original borrowings, with the remainder of the outstanding principal due at maturity. The Euro Term Loan will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, the U.S. subsidiaries of the Company that guaranty the Revolving Loan Facility and MF Lux and its Luxembourg subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The maturity and interest rate terms of the Revolving Loan Facility were unchanged by the amendment. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant and a maximum total debt to EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, depreciation expense and amortization), or leverage ratio covenant. The leverage ratio was increased from 3.75 to 1.00 for the preceding four fiscal quarters to 4.00 to 1.00 for the preceding four fiscal quarters through the third fiscal quarter of 2015 and 3.75 to 1.00 thereafter. The minimum interest coverage ratio was unchanged. The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $5,450 in connection with the Euro Term Loan.
	Additionally, in connection with the DBA acquisition, the Company assumed debt (the “Other International Debt”), totaling $132,574 as of the acquisition date. Concurrent with the closing, $107,665 was repaid utilizing proceeds from the Euro Term Loan. The long-term debt outstanding as of September 27, 2014 consists of mortgage loans and term loans collateralized by fixed assets. These loans have maturity dates ranging from September, 2014 to May, 2018, and bear interest primarily based on EURIBOR rates ranging from 1.38% to 6.25% as of September 27, 2014.
	In March 2014, the Company amended the accounts receivable securitization facility that it entered into in November 2007 (the “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility”). This amendment decreased certain fee rates, revised certain concentration limits and dilution triggers and extended the termination date to March 2015.
	As of September 27, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit facilities.

	Financial Instruments and Risk Management
	The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates. As of September 27, 2014, the notional U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell and purchase foreign currencies within the Company’s derivative portfolio was $102,376 and $10,702 respectively, primarily consisting of contracts hedging exposures to the Euro, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Brazilian real and Japanese yen.
	Fair Values of Derivative Instruments
	The fair values of derivative financial instruments recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company were as follows:
		Balance Sheet Location		Fair Value
				September 27,				December 28,
				2014				2013
	Hedges	Other current assets		$	2,120			$	32

	Total derivative liabilities			(347		)		(28		)
	Net derivative asset			$	3,806			$	974
	Cash Flow Hedges
	The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on short-term foreign currency-denominated transactions, foreign currency-denominated investments and other known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.
	The Company expects to reclassify into earnings during the next 12 months a net gain from Accumulated other comprehensive loss of approximately $2,094.
	The changes in fair value of derivatives excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives used as cash flow hedges are reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
	The effect of cash flow hedge derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Accumulated other comprehensive loss is as follows:

	Derivative Contracts Not Designated As Hedges
	The Company uses foreign exchange derivative contracts as economic hedges against the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on existing accounts receivable and payable balances and intercompany lending transactions denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts are not designated as hedges under the accounting standards and are recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Any gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized directly into earnings. Gains or losses on these contracts largely offset the net remeasurement gains or losses on the related assets and liabilities.
	The effect of derivative contracts not designated as hedges on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is as follows:
		Location of Loss		Amount of Gain (Loss)								Amount of Gain (Loss)

	Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
	As of September 27, 2014, the Company held certain financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These consisted of the Company’s derivative instruments related to foreign exchange rates and deferred compensation plan liabilities. The fair values of foreign currency derivatives are determined using the cash flows of the foreign exchange contract, discount rates to account for the passage of time and current foreign exchange market data and are categorized as Level 2. The fair value of deferred compensation plans is based on readily available current market data and are categorized as Level 2. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan investments are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
	There were no changes during the quarter ended September 27, 2014 to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between the three level categories and there were no Level 3 assets or liabilities measured on a quarterly basis during the quarter ended September 27, 2014. As of and during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2014, the Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.
	The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of September 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013. The carrying amount of trade accounts receivable includes allowance for doubtful accounts, chargebacks and other deductions of $21,120 and $13,336 as of September 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. The fair value of debt, which is classified as a Level 2 liability, was $2,212,532 and $1,744,115 as of September 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. Debt had a carrying value of $2,153,554 and $1,648,790 as of September 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. The fair values were estimated using quoted market prices as provided in secondary markets which consider the Company’s credit risk and market related conditions. The carrying amounts of the Company’s notes payable, which is classified as a Level 2 liability, approximated fair value as of September 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

	Income Taxes
	The Company’s effective income tax rate was 8% and 17% for the quarters ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 14% and 18% for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively. The lower effective income tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2014 compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2013 was primarily due to a lower proportion of earnings attributed to domestic subsidiaries, which are taxed at rates higher than foreign subsidiaries.
	The quarter ended September 27, 2014 included net discrete tax benefits of approximately $9,000 primarily related to the realization of unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the lapsing of domestic and foreign statutes of limitations. The quarter ended September 28, 2013 included net discrete tax benefits of approximately $10,000 primarily related to the realization of unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the lapsing of domestic and foreign statutes of limitations. During the third quarter of 2014, the Internal Revenue Service began an examination of the Company’s 2012 tax year.

	Business Segment Information
	The Company’s operations are managed and reported in four operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Activewear, Direct to Consumer and International. These segments are organized principally by product category, geographic location and distribution channel. Each segment has its own management that is responsible for the operations of the segment’s businesses, but the segments share a common supply chain and media and marketing platforms.
	The types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues are as follows:
	•	Innerwear sells basic branded products that are replenishment in nature under the product categories of men’s underwear, children’s underwear, socks, panties, hosiery and intimates, which includes bras and shapewear.
	•	Activewear sells basic branded products that are primarily seasonal in nature under the product categories of branded printwear and retail activewear, as well as licensed logo apparel in collegiate bookstores and other channels.
	•	Direct to Consumer includes the Company’s value-based (“outlet”) stores and Internet operations which sell products from the Company’s portfolio of leading brands. The Company’s Internet operations are supported by its catalogs.
	•	International primarily relates to the Asia, Latin America, Canada, Europe and Australia geographic locations that sell products that span across the Innerwear and Activewear reportable segments.
	The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon segment operating profit, which is defined as operating profit before general corporate expenses and amortization of intangibles. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013.
