THE WARNACO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Currencies in thousands, excluding per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

Note 1—Organization

The Warnaco Group, Inc. (“Warnaco Group” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 14, 1986 and, on May 10, 1986, acquired substantially all of the outstanding shares of Warnaco Inc. (“Warnaco”). Warnaco is the principal operating subsidiary of Warnaco Group.

Note 2 — Basis of Consolidation and Presentation

The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of Warnaco Group and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2010 (as defined below). The year-end Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Periods Covered:The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year basis ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. As such, the period from January 2, 2011 to December 31, 2011 (“Fiscal 2011”) and the period from January 3, 2010 to January 1, 2011 (“Fiscal 2010”) each contain 52 weeks of operations. Additionally, the period from July 3, 2011 to October 1, 2011 (the “Three Months Ended October 1, 2011”) and the period from July 4, 2010 to October 2, 2010 (the “Three Months Ended October 2, 2010”) each contained thirteen weeks of operations and the period from January 2, 2011 to October 1, 2011 (the “Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011”) and the period from January 3, 2010 to October 2, 2010 (the “Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010”) each contained thirty-nine weeks of operations.

Reclassifications:Amounts related to certain corporate expenses incurred in the U.S. (previously included in Operating income (loss) — Corporate/Other) during the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010 and the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 have been reclassified to Operating income (loss) — Sportswear Group, Intimate Apparel Group and Swimwear Group in order to conform to the current period presentation. SeeNote 6ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-29 “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU 2010-29”), which amends Topic 805 on business combinations. ASU 2010-29 clarifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. ASU 2010-29 also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for the Company for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 2, 2011. In the event that the Company enters into a business combination or a series of business combinations that are deemed to be material for financial reporting purposes, the Company will apply the amendments in ASU 2010-29.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Currencies in thousands, excluding per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

During May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 clarifies that the concept that the fair value of an asset is based on its highest and best use is only relevant when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets (and therefore would not apply to financial assets or any liabilities) since financial assets have no alternative use. The new guidance specifies that financial assets are measured based on the fair value of an individual security unless an entity manages its market risks and/or counterparty credit risk exposure within a group (portfolio) of financial instruments on a net basis. ASU 2011-4 requires the following new disclosures related to the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at and/or disclosed at fair value: (1) the categorization in the fair value hierarchy of all assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on the balance sheet but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed (such as the disclosure of the fair value of long-term debt that is recorded at amortized cost on the balance sheet); (2) all, not just significant, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements; (3) the reason(s), if applicable, why the current use of a nonfinancial asset, that is recorded or disclosed at fair value, differs from its highest and best use; and (4) certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans (seeNote 8ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) are not subject to any of these new disclosure requirements. The new requirements are effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012 and will be required prospectively upon adoption. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires the Company to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in a Statement of Comprehensive Income; either in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of equal prominence. Presentation of components of comprehensive income in the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity will no longer be allowed. The Company will be required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. Earnings-per-share computation will continue to be based on net income. Components of other comprehensive income will be required to be presented either net of the related tax effects or before the related tax effects with one amount reported for the tax effects of all other comprehensive income items. The Company will also be required to present parenthetically on the face of the statement, or to disclose in the footnotes, the tax allocated to each component of other comprehensive income. The new requirements are effective for all interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012. Comparative financial statements of prior periods will be presented to conform to the new guidance. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”), which is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to first perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further quantitative impairment testing is necessary. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. An entity can choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some or all of its reporting units. Moreover, an entity can bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to step one of the impairment test, and then resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. However, an entity can choose to early adopt as of the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company is in the process of determining whether to early adopt ASU 2011-08 for Fiscal 2011.

Note 3—Acquisitions

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest — Joint Venture in India

On July 8, 2011, the Company acquired a controlling interest (51%) in the equity of a joint venture with a distributor of itsCalvin Kleinproducts in India for cash consideration of approximately $17,771, net of cash acquired of $2,629. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and its results were consolidated into the Company’s operations and financial statements from the acquisition date, with the operating results of the non-controlling interest (i.e., the interest in the joint venture not owned by the Company) reported separately (see below). In addition, on July 8, 2011, the Company loaned one of the non-controlling shareholders in the joint venture $6,000 with an interest rate of 5.0% per annum (which loan is collateralized by the non-controlling shareholder’s equity interest in the joint venture). Principal is due on July 8, 2016, the maturity date of the loan, or sooner if the Company purchases the shares of the non-controlling shareholder. Interest on the loan is payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar year.

The Company is in the process of finalizing the allocation of the purchase price attributable to the acquisition of its controlling interest in the joint venture and is also in the process of finalizing the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The Shareholders’ Agreement entered into by the parties to the joint venture (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) contains a put option under which the non-controlling shareholders can require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their shares in the joint venture (i) at any date after July 8, 2011, if the Company commits a material breach, as defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement, that is not cured or becomes insolvent; or (ii) at any date after July 8, 2013, with respect to one of the non-controlling shareholders or after July 8, 2015, with respect to the other non-controlling shareholder. The put price is the fair market value of the shares on the redemption date based upon a multiple of the joint venture’s EBITDA for the prior 12 months less its net debt as of the closing balance sheet of the 12 month period. EBITDA will be derived from the joint venture’s financial statements. The multiple of EBITDA will be based on multiples of comparable companies and specific facts and circumstances of the joint venture. Thus, the redemption value at any date after the acquisition date is the fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest on that date.

The Shareholders’ Agreement also contains a call option under which the Company can require any of the non-controlling shareholders to sell their shares to the Company (i) at any date after July 8, 2011 in the event that any non-controlling shareholder commits a material breach, as defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement, under any of the agreements related to the joint venture, that is not cured; or (ii) at any date after July 8, 2015. The call price is determined by the same method as the put price (as described above).

Due to the inclusion of a put option in the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Company is accounting for the joint venture as a redeemable non-controlling interest in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A,Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The redeemable non-controlling interest is classified as temporary equity and is presented in the mezzanine section of the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets between liabilities and equity at its redemption value. The preliminary estimate of the initial carrying value of the non-controlling interest on July 8, 2011 of $15,200 was its fair value as determined using a discounted cash flow model with a discount rate of 27% and additional discounts for lack of marketability and lack of control by the non-controlling shareholders.

Since it is probable that the non-controlling interest will become redeemable in the future, based on the passage of time, subsequent changes in the redemption value (fair value) of the redeemable non-controlling interest will be recognized immediately as they occur and the carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest will be adjusted to equal the fair value at the end of each reporting period. Thus, the end of each reporting period is viewed as the redemption date. The adjustment to the carrying amount will be determined after attribution of net income or net loss of the non-controlling interest. The offset to the adjustment to the carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest will be retained earnings of the Company. The adjustment to the carrying amount will not impact net income or comprehensive income in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and will not impact earnings per share since the shares of the redeemable non-controlling interest are redeemable at fair value. At October 1, 2011, the preliminary estimate of the fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest was $15,200.

As of October 1, 2011, the Company has recorded a preliminary amount of $32,747 for Goodwill in connection with the acquisition of its controlling interest in the joint venture. Goodwill represents synergies and economies of scale resulting from the business combination as well as the value of the business established by the Indian partners before formation of the joint venture, including business relationships, opening stores and hiring of an assembled workforce (seeNote 13ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

On July 8, 2011, subsequent to the formation of the joint venture, Calvin Klein Inc. (“CKI”) agreed to amend certain licenses with the Company related to territories in Asia to include the territory of India. The amendments allow the Company to develop, manufacture, distribute and marketCalvin KleinJeans products (including Jeans apparel, Jeans accessories and Bridge merchandise) in India through 2046 (seeTrademarks and Licensing Agreementsin the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2010). The Company accounted for rights received to the territory of India as an intangible asset, which was recorded at estimated cost (seeNote 13ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). Changes in the estimate of the cost will be reflected as a change in the carrying amount of the intangible asset.

Acquisition of Business in Taiwan

On January 3, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets, including inventory and leasehold improvements, and leases of the retail stores of itsCalvin Kleindistributor in Taiwan for cash consideration of approximately $1,450. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and its results were consolidated into the Company’s operations and financial statements from the acquisition date.

Acquisition of Remaining Non-Controlling Interest in Brazil

During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010 (“Fiscal 2009”), the Company acquired the remaining non-controlling interest in a Brazilian subsidiary (“WBR”) and eight retail stores in Brazil, collectively, the “Brazilian Acquisition.” As part of the consideration for the Brazilian Acquisition, the Company is required to make three payments through March 31, 2012, which are contingent on the level of operating income achieved (as specified in the acquisition agreement) by WBR during that period. The Company made the second contingent payment of 18,500 Brazilian Real (approximately $11,470 as of March 31, 2011), based on the operating results of WBR for Fiscal 2010, on March 31, 2011. As of October 1, 2011, the Company expects that the third contingent payment will be 18,500 Brazilian Real (approximately $10,100 as of October 1, 2011) based on the anticipated operating results of WBR for Fiscal 2011, which will be paid by March 31, 2012.

Business Segments: The Company operates in three business segments: (i) Sportswear Group; (ii) Intimate Apparel Group; and (iii) Swimwear Group, which groupings reflect the manner in which the Company’s business is managed and the manner in which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews the Company’s business.

Effective January 2, 2011, in conjunction with an evaluation of the Company’s overall group reporting and to reflect the manner in which the CODM currently evaluates the business, the Company revised its methodology for allocating certain corporate expenses (incurred in the U.S.) to the operating units in each of its business groups.

Note 7—Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 were 18.1% and 38.6% respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 primarily reflects a tax benefit of $7,300 recorded during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 related to a reduction in the reserve for uncertain tax positions in certain foreign tax jurisdictions, as well as a tax benefit of approximately $1,300 recorded during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 relating to a change in various domestic and foreign tax provision estimates for Fiscal 2010 following the filing of certain of the Company’s tax returns during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011. In addition, certain discrete charges to the tax provision recorded during the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010 (in total $3,600) did not reoccur in the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011.

The effective tax rates for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 were 22.0% and 36.0% respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 primarily reflects a tax benefit of approximately $11,000, recorded during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, associated with the recognition of pre-2004 net operating losses in a foreign jurisdiction as a result of receiving a favorable ruling from that country’s taxing authority during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, a tax benefit of $7,300 recorded during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 related to a reduction in the reserve for uncertain tax positions in certain foreign tax jurisdictions, as well as a tax benefit of approximately $1,300 recorded during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 relating to a change in various domestic and foreign tax provision estimates for Fiscal 2010 following the filing of certain of the Company’s tax returns during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011. In addition, certain discrete charges to the tax provision recorded during the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 (in total $3,600) did not reoccur in the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011.

As of October 1, 2011, the Company remains under audit in various taxing jurisdictions. It is, therefore, difficult to predict the final timing and resolution of any particular uncertain tax position. Based upon the Company’s assessment of many factors, including past experience and complex judgments about future events, it is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the reserve for uncertain tax positions may decrease between $10,000 and $12,000 associated with tax positions expected to be taken during the next 12 months, the reevaluation of current uncertain tax positions arising from developments in examinations, the finalization of tax examinations, or from the closure of tax statutes.

Note 8—Employee Benefit and Retirement Plans

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering certain full-time non-union domestic employees and certain domestic employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement who had completed service prior to January 1, 2003 (the “Pension Plan”). Participants in the Pension Plan have not earned any additional pension benefits after December 31, 2002. The Company also sponsors defined benefit plans for certain former employees of its United Kingdom and other European entities (the “Foreign Plans”). The Foreign Plans were not considered to be material for any period presented in this Form 10-Q. These pension plans are noncontributory and benefits are based upon years of service. The Company also has health care and life insurance plans that provide post-retirement benefits to certain retired domestic employees (the “Postretirement Plans”). The Postretirement Plans are, in most cases, contributory with retiree contributions adjusted annually.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Currencies in thousands, excluding per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

Each quarter the Company recognizes interest cost of the Pension Plan’s projected benefit obligation offset by the expected return on Pension Plan assets. The Company records pension expense (income) as the effect of actual gains and losses exceeding the expected return on Pension Plan assets (including changes in actuarial assumptions) less changes in the Pension Plan’s projected benefit obligation (including changes in actuarial assumptions) in the fourth quarter of each year. This accounting results in volatility in pension expense or income; therefore, the Company reports pension expense (income) on a separate line of its Statements of Operations in each period.

The Company made contributions of $1,650 and $7,150 to the Pension Plan during the Three and Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, respectively. The Company’s contributions to the Pension Plan are expected to be $8,800 in total for Fiscal 2011.

The following table includes only the Pension Plan. The Foreign Plans were not considered to be material for any period presented below. The components of net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

	Pension Plans						Postretirement Plans

(a) net benefit (income) cost does not include costs related to the Foreign Plans of $59 and $176 for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, respectively, and $38 and $115 for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company’s liability under the employee deferred compensation plan was $4,185, $4,220 and $3,987 as of October 1, 2011, January 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively. This liability is included in other long-term liabilities. The Company’s liability under the director deferred compensation plan was $1,068, $1,015 and $834 as of October 1, 2011, January 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively. This liability is included in other long-term liabilities.

(a) Foreign currency translation adjustments reflect the change in the U.S. dollar relative to functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations and the fact that more than 65% of the Company’s assets are based outside of the U.S. The change in foreign currency translation adjustments at October 1, 2011 compared to January 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 as well as for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 reflects the fluctuation of certain foreign currencies (principally the Euro, Canadian Dollar, Korean Won, Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso) relative to the U.S. dollar.

Note 10—Fair Value Measurement

The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for financial assets and liabilities, which primarily relates to derivative contracts. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The Company classifies its financial instruments in a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

Valuation Techniques

The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts, including forward contracts and zero cost collars, was determined as the net unrealized gains or losses on those contracts, which is the net difference between (i) the U.S. dollars to be received or paid at the contracts’ settlement dates and (ii) the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current forward or spot exchange rate, as applicable. The fair value of these foreign currency exchange contracts is based on quoted prices that include the effects of U.S. and foreign interest rate yield curves and, therefore, meets the definition of Level 2 fair value, as defined above.

The fair value of interest rate caps (seeNote 14ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) was determined using broker quotes, which use discounted cash flows and the then-applicable forward LIBOR rates and, therefore, meets the definition of Level 2 fair value, as defined above.

The fair value of long-lived assets was based on the Company’s best estimates of future cash flows and, therefore, meets the definition of Level 3 fair value, as defined above (seeNote 1ofNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Long-Lived Assetsin the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2010).

The following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of October 1, 2011, January 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010:

	October 1, 2011						January 1, 2011						October 2, 2010

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value. The Company’s CKJEA Notes (as defined below) and other short-term notes, amounts outstanding under the 2008 Credit Agreements (as defined below) and amounts outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan (as defined below) are also reported at carrying value.

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company recorded impairment charges for the long-lived assets, consisting of leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures, of certain retail stores in the Sportswear Group and the Intimate Apparel Group, which were scheduled to close as part of a restructuring plan. For the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, those assets, measured on a non-recurring basis, had a fair value of $0, based upon projected future cash flows of those retail stores through the dates of closure. The Company recorded a loss of $1,140 related to those assets. For assets measured on a non-recurring basis for Fiscal 2010 seeNote 16ofNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Financial Instrumentsin the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2010. There were no assets or liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis for the Three Months or Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010. SeeNote 1ofNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Long-Lived Assetsin the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2010 for a description of the testing of retail stores for impairment.

SeeNote 17ofNotes to Consolidated Financial Statementsin the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2010 for the methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments. In addition, the 2011 Term Loan (seeNote 14ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) matures on June 17, 2018 and bears a variable rate of interest. The fair value of the 2011 Term Loan was estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers. The fair value of the interest rate cap was determined using broker quotes, which use discounted cash flows and the then-applicable forward LIBOR rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Exchange Forward Contracts

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, the Company’s Korean, European, Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries continued their hedging programs, which included foreign exchange forward contracts which were designed to satisfy either up to the first 50% of U.S. dollar denominated purchases of inventory over a maximum 18-month period or payment of 100% of certain minimum royalty and advertising expenses. All of the foregoing forward contracts were designated as cash flow hedges, with gains and losses accumulated on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets in Other Comprehensive Income and recognized in Cost of Goods Sold in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations during the periods in which the underlying transactions occur.

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, the Company also continued hedging programs, which were accounted for as economic hedges, with gains and losses recorded directly in Other loss (income) or Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations in the period in which they are incurred. Those hedging programs included foreign currency exchange forward contracts and zero cost collars that were designed to fix the number of Euros, Korean Won, Canadian Dollars or Mexican Pesos required to satisfy either (i) the first 50% of U.S. dollar denominated purchases of inventory over a maximum 18-month period; (ii) 50% of intercompany sales of inventory by a Euro functional currency subsidiary to a British subsidiary, whose functional currency is the Pound Sterling or (iii) U.S. dollar denominated intercompany loans and payables. During the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company initiated foreign currency exchange forward contracts, which were accounted for as economic hedges, in connection with the U.S. Dollar-denominated intercompany loan made upon the formation of the Company’s joint venture in India, which is held by a Singapore Dollar functional currency subsidiary (seeNote 3ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

Interest Rate Cap

On July 1, 2011, the Company entered into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement (as defined below), which will limit the interest rate payable on average over the term of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to 5.6975% per annum with respect to the portion of the 2011 Term Loan that equals the notional amount of the interest rate cap. The interest rate cap contracts are designated as cash flow hedges of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to a three-month LIBOR rate beyond 1.00%. SeeNote 14ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements — Interest Rate Cap.

A reconciliation of the balance of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 related to cash flow hedges is as follows:

Balance January 2, 2010	$	(1,414	)
Derivative losses recognized		(1,065	)
Losses amortized to earnings		222
Balance before tax effect		(2,257	)
Tax effect		803
Balance October 2, 2010, net of tax	$	(1,454	)
Balance January 1, 2011	$	(2,331	)
Derivative losses recognized		(6,375	)
Losses amortized to earnings		3,515
Balance before tax effect		(5,191	)
Tax effect		2,175
Balance October 1, 2011, net of tax	$	(3,016	)

During the twelve months following October 1, 2011, the net amount of gains recorded in Other Comprehensive Income at October 1, 2011 that are estimated to be amortized into earnings is $1,415, on a pre-tax basis. During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company expected that all originally forecasted purchases of inventory or payment of minimum royalties, which were covered by cash flow hedges, would occur by the end of the respective originally specified time periods. Therefore, no amount of gains or losses was reclassified into earnings during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 as a result of the discontinuance of those cash flow hedges.

Note 12—Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost to the Company (using the first-in-first-out method) or market and are summarized as follows:

	October 1,		January 1,		October 2,

In addition to the amounts of inventory noted above, the Company records deposits related to advance payments to certain third-party suppliers for the future purchase of finished goods. Such deposits are recorded in Prepaid and other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. At October 1, 2011, January 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, the amount of such deposits was $4,234, $8,841 and $4,792, respectively.

2011 Term Loan Agreement

On June 17, 2011, Warnaco Group, Warnaco, Calvin Klein Jeanswear Company (“CK Jeans”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Warnaco Group, and Warnaco Swimwear Products Inc. (“Warnaco Swimwear”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Warnaco Group, entered into a term loan agreement (the “2011 Term Loan Agreement”) with the financial institutions which are the lenders thereunder (the “Lenders”). Warnaco, CK Jeans and Warnaco Swimwear are co-borrowers on a joint and several basis under the 2011 Term Loan Agreement (the “Borrowers”).

The 2011 Term Loan Agreement provides for a $200,000 senior secured term loan facility, maturing on June 17, 2018 (the “2011 Term Loan”). In addition, during the term of the 2011 Term Loan Agreement, the Borrowers may request additional credit commitments for incremental term loan facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000 plus the aggregate principal amount of the term loans that the Borrowers have voluntarily prepaid prior to the date of such request. The Borrowers may request a greater amount to the extent that Warnaco Group meets certain financial tests set forth in the 2011 Term Loan Agreement. At October 1, 2011, there was $199,500 in term loans outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan Agreement. During June 2011, the Company repaid the outstanding balances of the 2008 Credit Agreements and the Italian Note (as defined below) from the proceeds of the 2011 Term Loan (see below). The Company paid $4,779 in deferred financing costs in connection with the 2011 Term Loan, which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The deferred financing costs were recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

On the last day of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters, beginning on October 1, 2011, $500 of the outstanding principal amount of the 2011 Term Loans must be repaid. Such amount will be reduced if a portion of the principal amount is prepaid. The remaining principal amount is due on June 17, 2018.

The 2011 Term Loan Agreement provides interest rate options, at the Borrowers’ election, including a base rate, as defined in the 2011 Term Loan Agreement or at LIBOR (with a floor of 1.00%) plus a margin of 2.75%, in each case, on a per annum basis. Accrued interest will be paid in arrears on the last day of each interest period through the maturity date. Payment dates are the last calendar day (or business day if the last calendar day is not a business day) of each of January, April, July and October, beginning on October 31, 2011. Reset dates are two business days prior to a payment date, beginning on October 29, 2011 (determines the three-month LIBOR variable leg for the following three month period). From inception of the loan through July 29, 2011, the Company elected to use a combination of a base rate and a LIBOR rate of interest, each on a portion of the outstanding balance ($80,000 at 3.75% and $120,000 at a base rate of 5.0%). From July 29, 2011 through October 31, 2011, the interest rate on the entire balance of the 2011 Term Loan is 3.75% (based on three-month LIBOR (with a floor of 1.00%) plus a margin of 2.75%. At October 1, 2011, the loans under the 2011 Term Loan Agreement had a weighted average annual interest rate of 3.75%. In order to match the interest rate on the hedged portion of the 2011 Term Loan with that on the interest rate cap (see below), the Company intends to use successive interest periods of three months and adjusted three-month LIBOR rates (with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% per annum) plus 2.75% on aper annumbasis from July 29, 2011 through the maturity date of the 2011 Term Loan.

In addition, the 2011 Term Loan Agreement is subject to a 1.00% prepayment fee in the event it is refinanced on or before June 17, 2012, subject to certain conditions. The Borrowers must make mandatory prepayments of the term loans with the proceeds of asset dispositions and insurance proceeds from casualty events (subject to certain limitations), with a portion of any excess cash flow (as defined in the 2011 Term Loan Agreement) generated by Warnaco Group and with the proceeds of certain issuances of debt (subject to certain exceptions).

The 2011 Term Loan Agreement does not require the Borrowers to comply with any financial maintenance covenants. The 2011 Term Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative covenants. The 2011 Term Loan Agreement also contains customary negative covenants providing limitations, subject to negotiated carve-outs, with respect to (i) incurrence of indebtedness and liens, (ii) significant corporate changes including mergers and acquisitions with third parties, (iii) investments, (iv) loans, (v) advances and guarantees to or for the benefit of third parties, (vi) hedge agreements, (vii) certain restricted payments and (viii) transactions with affiliates and certain other restrictive agreements, among others.

The 2011 Term Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a “Change of Control” (as defined in the 2011 Term Loan Agreement), or the failure to observe the certain covenants therein. Upon an event of default, the Lenders may, among other things, declare any then outstanding loans due and payable immediately.

The obligations of the Borrowers under the 2011 Term Loan Agreement are guaranteed by Warnaco Group and its indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “U.S. Guarantors”) pursuant to a Guaranty dated as of June 17, 2011 (the “Guaranty”).

The obligations under the 2011 Term Loan Agreement and the guarantees thereof, are secured by Warnaco Group, the Borrowers and each of the U.S. Guarantors, for the benefit of the Lenders, with a first priority lien on all fixed asset collateral (including, without limitation, pledges of their equity ownership in domestic subsidiaries and up to 66% of their equity ownership in first-tier foreign subsidiaries), intellectual property, and substantially all other personal property of the Borrowers and the U.S. Guarantors not constituting 2008 Credit Agreement Priority Collateral (as defined below), and, in each case, proceeds thereof. In addition, Warnaco Group, the Borrowers and each of the U.S. Guarantors have granted to the Lenders a second priority security interest in accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts and cash, checks and certain related assets (the “2008 Credit Agreement Priority Collateral”).

In connection with entering into the 2011 Term Loan Agreement, on June 17, 2011, (i) Warnaco Group, Warnaco and the U.S. Guarantors entered into an amendment to the 2008 Credit Agreement (the “2008 Credit Agreement Amendment”) and (ii) Warnaco Canada, Warnaco Group, Warnaco and the U.S. Guarantors entered into an amendment to the 2008 Canadian Credit Agreement (the “2008 Canadian Credit Agreement Amendment”), in each case, permitting the Borrowers to incur the indebtedness and grant the liens under the 2011 Term Loan Agreement, and providing, among other things, for modifications to the definitions of “Change of Control”, the eligibility criteria for receivables and certain covenants relating to asset sales, prepayments of debt, permitted liens and permitted indebtedness.

In addition, on June 17, 2011, Warnaco Group, the Borrowers and the U.S. Guarantors executed an Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), establishing certain priorities with respect to the collateral that secures the Borrowers’ obligations under the 2008 Credit Agreements and the 2011 Term Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, the secured parties under the existing 2008 Credit Agreements retain a first priority security interest in all 2008 Credit Agreement Priority Collateral and a second priority security interest in all fixed asset collateral (including, without limitation, pledges of their equity ownership in domestic subsidiaries and up to 66% of their equity ownership in first-tier foreign subsidiaries), intellectual property and substantially all other personal property of Warnaco Group, the Borrowers and the U.S. Guarantors not constituting 2008 Credit Agreement Priority Collateral.

Interest Rate Cap Agreement

On July 1, 2011, the Company entered into a deferred premium interest rate cap agreement with HSBC Bank USA (the “Counterparty”), effective July 29, 2011, (notional amount $120,000) (the “Cap Agreement”). The Cap Agreement is a series of 27 individual caplets (in total, the “Cap”) that reset and settle quarterly over the period from October 31, 2011 to April 30, 2018. Under the terms of the Cap Agreement, if three-month LIBOR resets above a strike price of 1.00%, the Company will receive the net difference between the reset rate and the strike price. In addition, on the quarterly settlement dates, the Company will remit the deferred premium payment to the Counterparty. If LIBOR resets below the strike price no payment is made by the Counterparty. However, the Company would still be responsible for payment of the deferred premium. At July 1, 2011, the Company was obligated to make premium payments totaling approximately $16,015, based on an annual rate of 1.9475% on the notional amount of the Cap, over the term of the Cap Agreement. The effect of the Cap Agreement is to limit the interest rate payable on average over the term of the Cap Agreement to 5.6975% per annum with respect to the portion of the 2011 Term Loan that equals the notional amount of the Cap.

The interest rate cap contracts are designated as cash flow hedges of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to a three-month LIBOR rate beyond 1.00%. At the inception of the hedging relationship, the fair value of the Cap of $14,395 was allocated to the respective caplets within the Cap on a fair value basis. To the extent that the interest rate cap contracts are effective in offsetting that variability, changes in the Cap’s fair value will be recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI”) in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and subsequently recognized in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as the underlying interest expense is recognized on the 2011 Term Loan.

On July 1, 2011, the Company recorded the fair value of the Cap of $14,395 in Other assets and the fair value of the deferred premium payments of $14,395 as Deferred premium on interest rate cap in Short-term debt ($1,764) and Long-term debt ($12,631), on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. On October 1, 2011, the fair value of the Cap was $7,399, which was recorded in Other assets and the decrease in fair value of $6,996 from July 1, 2011 was recorded in AOCI. On October 1, 2011, Deferred premium on the interest rate cap was $14,470, of which $2,418 was recorded in Short-term debt and $12,052 was recorded in Long-term debt. The accretion of Deferred premium on the interest rate cap of $75 during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 was recorded as an increase in interest expense.

2008 Credit Agreements

On August 26, 2008, Warnaco, as borrower, and Warnaco Group, as guarantor, entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “2008 Credit Agreement”) and Warnaco of Canada Company, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Warnaco Group, as borrower, and Warnaco Group, as guarantor, entered into a second revolving credit agreement (the “2008 Canadian Credit Agreement” and, together with the 2008 Credit Agreement, the “2008 Credit Agreements”), in each case with the financial institutions which, from time to time, will act as lenders and issuers of letters of credit. As noted above, on June 17, 2011, the 2008 Credit Agreements were amended in connection with the 2011 Term Loan Agreement.

At October 1, 2011, the 2008 Credit Agreement had interest rate options (dependent on the amount borrowed and the repayment period) of (i) 3.75%, based on a base rate plus 0.50%, or (ii) 1.87%, based on LIBOR plus 1.50%. The 2008 Canadian Credit Agreement had interest rate options of (i) 3.50%, based on the prime rate announced by Bank of America (acting through its Canada branch) plus 0.50%, or (ii) 2.67%, based on the BA Rate (as defined below), in each case, on aper annum basis. The BA Rate is defined as the annual rate of interest quoted by Bank of America (acting through its Canada branch) as its rate of interest rate for bankers’ acceptances in Canadian Dollars for a face amount similar to the amount of the loan and for a term similar to the applicable interest period.

During June 2011, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the 2011 Term Loan to repay the outstanding balances of the 2008 Credit Agreements. As of October 1, 2011, the Company had no loans and approximately $29,074 in letters of credit outstanding under the 2008 Credit Agreement, leaving approximately $189,662 of availability. As of October 1, 2011, there were no loans and $1,970 in letters of credit outstanding under the 2008 Canadian Credit Agreement and the available line of credit was approximately $20,269. As of October 1, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the 2008 Credit Agreements.

(a) does not include an additional 37,600 restricted units with a grant date fair value per share of $55.57 and 36,750 restricted units with a grant date fair value per share of $43.28, granted to Retirement-Eligible employees (seeNote 13ofNotes to Consolidated Financial Statementsin the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2010) during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, respectively, for which the requisite service period has been completed on the respective grant dates but the restrictions will not lapse until the end of the three-year vesting period.

During March 2011 and March 2010, share-based compensation awards granted to certain of the Company’s executive officers under Warnaco Group’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan included 80,050 and 75,750 performance-based restricted stock/restricted unit awards, respectively, (“Performance Awards”) in addition to the service-based stock options and restricted stock awards, included in the preceding tables. The Performance Awards include both a performance condition and a market condition (seeNote 13ofNotes to Consolidated Financial Statementsin the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2010 for further details on the Performance Awards).

Under the performance condition, the estimated compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant) and the Company’s current expectations of the probable number of Performance Awards that will ultimately be earned. The fair value of the Performance Awards under the market condition on the respective grant dates ($3,245 at March 1, 2011 and $2,432 at March 3, 2010) is based upon a Monte Carlo simulation model, which encompasses the Company’s relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) (change in closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange compared to that of a peer group of companies (“Peer Companies”)) during the Measurement Period. The Measurement Period includes both:

(i) the period from the beginning of Fiscal 2011 to March 1, 2011 (the grant date) for Performance Awards granted on March 1, 2011, and the period from the beginning of Fiscal 2010 to March 3, 2010 (the grant date) for Performance Awards granted on March 3, 2010, for which actual TSR’s are calculated; and

(ii) the periods from the respective grant dates to the end of the fiscal years ending 2012 or 2013, respectively, a total of 2.83 years, (the “Remaining Measurement Period”), for which simulated TSR’s are calculated.

Note 17—Income per Common Share

The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted income per common share attributable to Warnaco Group common shareholders, giving effect to participating securities. The Company has determined that based on a review of its share-based awards, only its restricted stock awards are deemed participating securities, which participate equally with common shareholders. The weighted average restricted stock outstanding was 622,969 shares and 587,699 shares for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 and the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010, respectively, and 639,980 shares and 582,190 shares for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, respectively. Undistributed income allocated to participating securities is based on the proportion of restricted stock outstanding to the sum of weighted average number of common shares outstanding attributable to Warnaco Group common shareholders and restricted stock outstanding for each period presented below.

Note 18—Legal Matters

Lejaby Claims:On August 18, 2009, Palmers Textil AG (“Palmers”) filed an action against the Company inLe Tribunal de Commerce de Paris(The Paris Commercial Court), alleging that the Company made certain misrepresentations in the sale agreement, and seeking to declare the sale null and void, monetary damages in an unspecified amount and other relief (the “Palmers Suit”). The Company believes that the Palmers Suit is without merit. The Company is defending itself vigorously in this matter. In addition, the Company and Palmers have been unable to agree on certain post-closing adjustments to the purchase price, including adjustments for working capital. The dispute regarding the amount of post-closing adjustments is not a subject of the Palmers Suit. During the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company recorded a reserve of approximately $4,000 in connection with these matters. In addition, as of October 1, 2011, the Company had a loan receivable recorded in Other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets of $13,744 from Palmers related to the Company’s sale of itsLejabybusiness to Palmers on March 10, 2008. The Company believes that its loan receivable from Palmers is valid and collectible.

OP Litigation:On August 19, 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Ocean Pacific Apparel Corp. (“OP”) from Doyle & Bossiere Fund I, LLC (“Doyle”) and certain minority shareholders of OP. The terms of the acquisition agreement required the Company to make certain contingent payments to the sellers of OP under certain circumstances. On November 6, 2006, the Company sold the OP business to a third party. On May 23, 2007, Doyle filed a demand against the Company for arbitration before Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) in Orange County, California, alleging that certain contingent purchase price payments are due to them as a result of the Company’s sale of the OP business in November 2006 (the “OP Action”). On February 7, 2011, the Company and Doyle entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release to the entire action described above. As a result, the entire action was dismissed by JAMS, with prejudice.

Other:In addition, from time to time, the Company is involved in arbitrations or legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company cannot predict the timing or outcome of these claims and proceedings. Currently, the Company is not involved in any such arbitration and/or legal proceeding that it expects to have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or business.

Note 19 — Commitments and Contingencies

The contractual obligations and commitments in existence as of October 1, 2011 did not differ materially from those disclosed as of January 1, 2011 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2010, except for the following changes, which occurred during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011:

	2012		2013		2014		2015		2016		Thereafter		Total
Operating leases	$	15,599	$	14,602	$	10,839	$	7,711	$	5,857	$	10,938	$	65,546
Other contractual obligations		15,198		10,535		8,789		6,945		4,603		193,155		239,225
Total	$	30,797	$	25,137	$	19,628	$	14,656	$	10,460	$	204,093	$	304,771

At October 1, 2011, in the ordinary course of business, the Company had open purchase orders with suppliers of approximately $325,428, of which $155,340 are payable in 2011 and $170,088 are payable in 2012.

As of October 1, 2011, the Company was also party to outstanding hedging instruments (seeNote 11ofNotes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

As of October 1, 2011, the Company remains under audit in various taxing jurisdictions. It is, therefore, difficult to predict the final timing and resolution of any particular uncertain tax position. Based upon the Company’s assessment of many factors, including past experience and complex judgments about future events, it is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the reserve for uncertain tax positions may decrease between $10,000 and $12,000 associated with tax positions expected to be taken during the next twelve months, the reevaluation of current uncertain tax positions arising from developments in examinations, the finalization of tax examinations, or from the closure of tax statutes.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The Warnaco Group, Inc. (“Warnaco Group” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause its future results of operations to differ materially from its historical results of operations and that could affect the market value of the Company’s common stock. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the following discussion, but except for the historical information contained herein, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure.”

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with: (i) the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and related notes thereto which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and (ii) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 (“Fiscal 2010”).

The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year basis ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. As such, the period from January 2, 2011 to December 31, 2011 (“Fiscal 2011”) and the period from January 3, 2010 to January 1, 2011 (“Fiscal 2010”) each contain 52 weeks of operations. Additionally, the period from July 3, 2011 to October 1, 2011 (the “Three Months Ended October 1, 2011”) and the period from July 4, 2010 to October 2, 2010 (the “Three Months Ended October 2, 2010”) each contained thirteen weeks of operations and the period from January 2, 2011 to October 1, 2011 (the “Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011”) and the period from January 3, 2010 to October 2, 2010 (the “Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010”) each contained thirty-nine weeks of operations.

The Company has three operating segments: (i) Sportswear Group; (ii) Intimate Apparel Group; and (iii) Swimwear Group, which groupings reflect the manner in which the Company’s business is managed and the manner in which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews the Company’s business. Amounts related to certain corporate expenses incurred in the U.S. (previously included in Operating income (loss) — Corporate/Other) during the Three and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 have been reclassified to Operating income (loss) - Sportswear Group, Intimate Apparel Group and Swimwear Group in order to conform to the current period presentation (seeNote 6ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). In addition, amounts associated with certain sourcing and design related expenses incurred in the U.S. (previously included in domestic Operating income (loss) — Sportswear Group, Intimate Apparel Group and Swimwear Group) during the Three and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 have been reclassified to international Operating income (loss) — Sportswear Group, Intimate Apparel Group and Swimwear Group in order to conform to the current period presentation. The revision of the operating income (loss) for each Group and Corporate/Other for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 did not have any effect on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations or Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for any period presented in this Form 10-Q.

References to “Calvin KleinJeans” refer to jeans, accessories and “bridge” products. References to “Core Intimates” refer to the Intimate Apparel Group’sWarner’s^®,Olga^®andBody Nancy Ganz/Bodyslimmers^®brand names and intimate apparel private labels. References to “Retail” within each operating Group refer to the Company’s owned full-price free-standing stores, owned outlet stores, concession / “shop-in-shop” stores and on-line stores. Results related to stores operated by third parties under retail licenses or distributor agreements are included in “Wholesale” within each operating Group. References to “sales mix” refer to the channels of distribution in which the Company’s products are sold. For example, an unfavorable sales mix in a current period relative to a prior period refers to an increase in the percentage of sales of products in low margin channels of distribution (such as the off-price channel) to total sales. References to “allowances” refer to discounts given to wholesale customers based upon the expected rate of retail sales and general economic and retail forecasts.

Overview

Introduction

The Company designs, sources, markets, licenses and distributes sportswear, intimate apparel, and swimwear worldwide through highly recognized brand names. The Company’s products are distributed domestically and internationally in over 100 countries, primarily to wholesale customers through various distribution channels, including major department stores, independent retailers, chain stores, membership clubs, specialty, off-price, mass merchandisers and other stores, and to retail customers, through the Company’s retail stores and the internet.

The Company’s major brand isCalvin Klein,which generated 74.8% and 73.2% of the Company’s net revenues for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively.

32

• Grow the Company’s retail business through a combination of new store openings and the selective acquisition of stores operated by distributors of the Company’s products. During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company increased the number ofCalvin Kleinretail stores in Europe, Asia and South America by 275 retail stores (consisting of 48 free-standing stores (including an increase of 49 full price stores and a decline of one outlet store) and 227 shop-in-shop/concession stores).

• Retail net revenues represented 27.8% of the Company’s net revenues for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to 23.1% of the Company’s net revenues for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010.

• On July 8, 2011, the Company acquired a controlling interest (51%) in the business of a distributor of itsCalvin Kleinproducts in India for cash consideration of approximately $20.4 million (seeNote 3ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

• Leverage the Company’s international platform. The Company’s global design, sourcing, sales and distribution network allows it to reach consumers around the world. The Company works to effectively utilize its international presence to enhance and expand the worldwide reach of its branded apparel products.

The Company believes that there are opportunities for continued growth in Europe, Asia and South America.

The increase in net revenues was primarily due to:

(i) the favorable effect of foreign currency fluctuations, which increased net revenues by $26.3 million and $65.3 million for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, respectively compared to the same periods in the prior year;

(ii) the launch of theck oneproduct line of men’s and women’s jeanswear and underwear during the first and second quarters of Fiscal 2011 and new product launches ofWarner’sandOlgaproducts during the second quarter of Fiscal 2011, which benefited both the Sportswear Group and Intimate Apparel Group;

Operating Income

The Company’s operating income decreased $3.1 million, or 4.6%, to $64.8 million for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to $67.9 million for the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010, reflecting a decline in the Sportswear Group ($17.1 million) and in the Intimate Apparel Group ($1.3 million), partially offset by an increase in the Swimwear Group ($0.4 million) and a decrease in the level of operating loss from Corporate/other ($14.9 million). Operating income includes restructuring charges of $7.5 million for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 and $1.7 million for the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010 (seeLiquidity and Capital Resources — Restructuring andNote 5ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

During the Three and Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, certain of the Company’s businesses, particularly in the U.S., Asia and Europe, experienced an increase in product and freight costs, which have adversely affected the operating margins of the Company’s businesses. The Company expects that the rate of product cost increases will stabilize or decline during the remainder of Fiscal 2011. The Company was able to partially mitigate the cost increases (and expects to be able to partially mitigate such increases in the future) by selectively increasing the selling prices of its goods, making early purchases of product and implementing other sourcing initiatives.

Foreign Currency Effects

The effects of fluctuations in foreign currencies are reflective of the following: (i) the translation of operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period); (ii) as relates to entities which purchase inventory in currencies other than that entity’s reporting currency, the effect on cost of goods sold for the current year period compared to the prior year period as a result of differences in the exchange rates in effect at the time the related inventory was purchased; and (iii) gains and losses recorded by the Company as a result of fluctuations in foreign currencies and related to the Company’s foreign currency hedge programs (seeNote 11ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

As noted above, during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, more than 50% of the Company’s net revenues were generated from foreign operations, a majority of which are conducted in countries whose functional currencies are the Euro, Korean Won, Canadian Dollar, Brazilian Real, Mexican Peso, Chinese Yuan and British Pound.

For the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to the previous year period, net revenues were favorably affected, while operating income and income from continuing operations were each negatively affected, by fluctuations in certain foreign currencies: net revenues include an increase of $26.3 million, while operating income includes a decrease of $3.2 million and income from continuing operations includes a decrease of $3.9 million ($0.09 per diluted share) due to such fluctuations.

For the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to the previous year period, net revenues were favorably affected, while operating income and income from continuing operations were each negatively affected, by fluctuations in certain foreign currencies: net revenues include an increase of $65.3 million, while operating income includes a decrease of $6.3 million and income from continuing operations includes a decrease of $5.5 million ($0.12 per diluted share) due to such fluctuations.

Earnings per Share

On a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis, for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010, income from continuing operations per diluted share increased 25.6% to $1.13 per diluted share (from $0.90 per diluted share). On a non-GAAP basis (excluding restructuring expense, pension expense and certain other items (seeNon-GAAP Measures,below)), for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010, income from continuing operations per diluted share increased 2.9% to $1.07 per diluted share (from $1.04 per diluted share).

On a GAAP basis, for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, income from continuing operations per diluted share increased 20.5% to $3.11 per diluted share (from $2.58 per diluted share). On a non-GAAP basis (excluding restructuring expense, pension expense and certain other items (seeNon-GAAP Measures,below)), for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, income from continuing operations per diluted share increased 7.1% to $3.03 per diluted share (from $2.83 per diluted share).

Balance Sheet

On June 17, 2011, the Company entered into a $200 million senior secured term loan facility, maturing on June 17, 2018 (seeLiquidity and Capital Resources — 2011 Term Loan Agreement, below). At October 1, 2011, the Company’s balance sheet included cash and cash equivalents of $179.3 million and total debt of $257.3 million.

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company repurchased the remaining 4,060,842 shares of Common Stock under the 2010 Share Repurchase Program for $205.8 million (based on an average of $50.68 per share). See Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During September 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new multi-year share repurchase program for up to $200 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company repurchased 104,300 shares under the 2011 Share Repurchase Program for $5.0 million (based on an average of $47.90 per share).

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company’s reported financial results are presented in accordance with GAAP. The reported operating income, income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations reflect certain items which affect the comparability of those reported results. Those financial results are also presented on a non-GAAP basis, as defined by Regulation S-K section 10(e) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), to exclude the effect of these items. The Company’s computation of these non-GAAP measures may vary from others in its industry. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, considered separately from or as an alternative to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to which they are reconciled, as presented in the following table:

a) For all periods presented, this adjustment seeks to present operating income, income from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders without the effects of restructuring charges and pension income. Restructuring charges (on a pre-tax basis) were $7,548 and $18,990 for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, respectively and $1,697 and $3,810 for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, respectively. Pension income (on a pre-tax basis) was $310 and $931 for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, respectively, and $22 and $65 for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, respectively. The income tax rates used to compute the income tax effect related to this adjustment correspond to the local statutory tax rates of the reporting entities that incurred restructuring charges or recognized pension income.

35

b)	For the Three and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, this adjustment seeks to present operating income, income from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders without the effects of an additional charge related to an adjustment to the contingent consideration to be paid for the business acquired in Brazil in 2009 of $1,521 ($1,004 after tax). The income tax rate used to compute the income tax effect related to this adjustment corresponds to the local statutory tax rate in Brazil.
c)	For the Three and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, this adjustment seeks to present operating income, income from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders excluding a charge of $1,269 ($802 after tax) for certain franchise taxes recorded during the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010 related to the correction of amounts recorded in prior periods. The amount was not material to any prior period. The income tax rates used to compute the income tax effect related to the above mentioned charge for franchise taxes correspond to the statutory tax rates in the United States.
d)	This adjustment seeks to present income from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders without the effect of the charges shown in the table above related to the repurchase of a portion of the Company’s Senior Notes during the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010. The income tax rates used to compute the income tax effect related to this adjustment correspond to the statutory tax rates in the United States.
e)	For the Three and Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and Three and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, this adjustment reflects an amount required in order to present income from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders on an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis at the Company’s forecasted normalized tax rates for Fiscal 2011 (31.1%) and Fiscal 2010 (33.5%), respectively. This adjustment excludes the effects of certain tax adjustments related to either changes in estimates in prior period tax provisions or adjustments for certain discrete tax items. Adjustments for discrete items reflect the federal, state and foreign tax effects related to: 1) income taxes associated with legal entity reorganizations and restructurings; 2) tax provision or benefit resulting from statute expirations or the finalization of income tax examinations, and 3) other adjustments not considered part of the Company’s core business activities.

For 2011, this adjustment primarily reflects the following:

a.	The exclusion of a $10,900 tax benefit recorded during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 associated with the recognition of pre-2004 net operating losses in a foreign jurisdiction as result of receiving a favorable ruling from that country’s taxing authority during the second quarter of 2011;
b.	The exclusion of a $7,300 tax benefit recorded during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 related to the reduction in the reserve for uncertain tax positions in certain foreign tax jurisdictions; and
c.	The exclusion of a $1,300 tax benefit recorded during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 relating to a change in various domestic and foreign tax provision estimates for Fiscal 2010 following the filing of certain of the Company’s tax returns during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011.

For 2010, this adjustment primarily reflects the exclusion of certain tax adjustments related to errors or changes in estimates in prior period tax provisions (approximately $1,900) and adjustments for certain other discrete tax items (approximately $2,600). The adjustment related to prior period errors or estimate changes includes, among other items, a charge of approximately $1,700 recorded during the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 associated with the correction of an error in the 2006 through 2009 income tax provisions as a consequence of the loss of a credit related to prior year tax overpayments caused by the delayed filing of tax returns in a U.S. state taxing jurisdiction. This error was not material to any prior period.

The Company believes it is valuable for users of its financial statements to be made aware of the non-GAAP financial information, as such measures are used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s continuing businesses on a comparable basis and to make operating and strategic decisions. Such non-GAAP measures will also enhance users’ ability to analyze trends in the Company’s business. In addition, the Company uses performance targets based on non-GAAP operating income and diluted earnings per share as a component of the measurement of incentive compensation.

Furthermore, the Warnaco Group is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by the Company from translating its foreign revenues and operating results into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results. As a supplement to its reported operating results, the Company presents constant currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how its businesses performed excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency translation rates. Management believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of operating results and better identify trends in the Company’s businesses.

36

To calculate the increase in segment revenues on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period).

These constant currency net revenues should be viewed in addition to, and not in isolation from, or as a substitute to, the Company’s net revenues calculated in accordance with GAAP. The constant currency information presented in the following table for net revenues may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to use judgment in making certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in its consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require difficult, subjective and complex judgments by management in order to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, there were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-29 “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU 2010-29”), which amends Topic 805 on business combinations. ASU 2010-29 clarifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. ASU 2010-29 also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for the Company for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 2, 2011. In the event that the Company enters into a business combination or a series of business combinations that are deemed to be material for financial reporting purposes, the Company will apply the amendments in ASU 2010-29.

37

During May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 clarifies that the concept that the fair value of an asset is based on its highest and best use is only relevant when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets (and therefore would not apply to financial assets or any liabilities) since financial assets have no alternative use. The new guidance specifies that financial assets are measured based on the fair value of an individual security unless an entity manages its market risks and/or counterparty credit risk exposure within a group (portfolio) of financial instruments on a net basis. ASU 2011-4 requires the following new disclosures related to the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at and/or disclosed at fair value: (1) the categorization in the fair value hierarchy of all assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on the balance sheet but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed (such as the disclosure of the fair value of long-term debt that is recorded at amortized cost on the balance sheet); (2) all, not just significant, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements; (3) the reason(s), if applicable, why the current use of a nonfinancial asset, that is recorded or disclosed at fair value, differs from its highest and best use; and (4) certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans (seeNote 8ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) are not subject to any of these new disclosure requirements. The new requirements are effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012 and will be required prospectively upon adoption. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires the Company to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in a Statement of Comprehensive Income; either in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of equal prominence. Presentation of components of comprehensive income in the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity will no longer be allowed. The Company will be required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. Earnings-per-share computation will continue to be based on net income. Components of other comprehensive income will be required to be presented either net of the related tax effects or before the related tax effects with one amount reported for the tax effects of all other comprehensive income items. The Company will also be required to present parenthetically on the face of the statement, or to disclose in the footnotes, the tax allocated to each component of other comprehensive income. The new requirements are effective for all interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012. Comparative financial statements of prior periods will be presented to conform to the new guidance. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”), which is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to first perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further quantitative impairment testing is necessary. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. An entity can choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some or all of its reporting units. Moreover, an entity can bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to step one of the impairment test, and then resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. However, an entity can choose to early adopt as of the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company is in the process of determining whether to early adopt ASU 2011-08 for Fiscal 2011.

Net revenues fromCalvin KleinJeans increased $22.5 million overall. Wholesale sales ofCalvin KleinJeans decreased $8.4 million, primarily due to decreases of $16.0 million in the U.S. and $6.0 million in Europe, partially offset by increases of $9.5 million in Mexico, Central and South America and $4.4 million in Asia. The decreases and increases in wholesale net revenues were primarily due (in constant currency) to the following:

(i) the decline in the U.S. was primarily due to decreased sales to department stores, which is reflective of weakness in the women’s business, and a decrease in sales to membership clubs, which reflects a weakness in both the men’s and women’s businesses. Those decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales to outlets and the off-price channel of both men’s and women’s products;

(ii) the decline in Europe was primarily due to decreased sales to department stores, independent retailers and distributors, including the conversion of a portion of the Company’s wholesale business to retail in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010 when the Company acquired the business of its distributor ofCalvin Kleinproducts in Italy;

(iii) the increase in Mexico and Central and South America, was primarily due to an increase in sales to department stores and specialty stores, including an increase in new product offerings and increased penetration within existing customers; and

(iv) a net increase in Asia primarily due to (a) the expansion of the distribution network in the People’s Republic of China, partially offset by (b) a decrease in sales in other regions of Asia and (c) the conversion of the Company’s wholesale businesses in Taiwan (January 2011) and India (July 2011) to retail businesses as a result of the acquisition of distributors’ businesses in those regions.

Net revenues fromCalvin KleinJeans retail sales increased $30.9 million, driven primarily by increases of $13.5 million in Asia and $16.4 million in Europe. The increase in retail net revenues was primarily due (in constant currency) to a 0.4% increase in comparable store sales ($63.6 million for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 and $63.3 million for the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010), coupled with the addition of new stores opened by the Company and new stores acquired by the Company (including stores acquired in Taiwan during the first quarter of Fiscal 2011, in India during the third quarter of Fiscal 2011 and in Italy during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010).

Net revenues fromChapsdecreased $1.6 million, primarily due to a $1.9 million decline in the U.S., which reflects a decrease in sales to the off-price channel and an increase in the level of customer allowances. Those decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales to chain stores in the U.S.

Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010

Sportswear Group net revenues increased $96.3 million to $983.7 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 from $887.4 million for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010. Sportswear Group net revenues from international operations increased $125.2 million and from domestic operations decreased $28.9 million. The increase in international net revenues includes a $38.8 million increase due to the favorable effect of fluctuations in certain foreign currency exchange rates. SeeOverview, above.

Net revenues fromCalvin KleinJeans increased $93.6 million overall. Wholesale sales ofCalvin KleinJeans decreased $0.8 million (including a $27.3 million decline in the U.S., partially offset by increases of $26.5 million from international operations). The increase in international wholesale net revenues was primarily driven by increases of $26.5 million in Mexico and Central and South America and $10.3 million in Asia, partially offset by a decrease of $12.4 million in Europe and was primarily due (in constant currency) to the following:

(i) an increase in sales in Mexico and Central and South America to department and specialty stores, including an increase in new product offerings and increased penetration within existing customers; and

(ii) a net increase in Asia primarily due to (a) the expansion of the distribution network in the People’s Republic of China, partially offset by (b) a decline in sales in other regions of Asia and (c) the conversion of the Company’s wholesale businesses in the People’s Republic of China and Singapore (in the second quarter of Fiscal 2010), Taiwan (January 2011) and India (July 2011) to retail businesses as a result of the acquisition of distributors’ businesses in those regions.

42

Those increases were partially offset by:

(iii) a decrease in Europe primarily due to decreased sales ofCalvin Klein Jeans and accessories to department, specialty and independent stores and distributors, due in part to the conversion of a portion of the Company’s wholesale businesses in Italy to retail businesses, as a result of the acquisition of the Company’s Italian distributor ofCalvin Kleinproducts in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010. In addition, the Company believes that deteriorating macro-economic conditions in southern Europe negatively impacted net revenues; and

(iv) a decrease in the U.S. primarily due to decreased sales to department stores and membership clubs, coupled with an increase in the level of customer allowances, both of which are reflective of weakness in the men’s and women’s businesses. Those decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales to the off-price channel of men’s products.

Net revenues fromCalvin KleinJeans retail sales increased $94.4 million (including increases of $45.1 million in Asia, $43.2 million in Europe and $6.0 million in Mexico, Central and South America). The increase in retail net revenues was primarily due (in constant currency) to a 3.7% increase in comparable store sales ($172.1 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and $165.9 million for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010), coupled with the addition of new stores opened by the Company and new stores acquired by the Company (including stores acquired in the People’s Republic of China and Singapore in the second quarter of Fiscal 2010, in Taiwan during the first quarter of Fiscal 2011, in India during the third quarter of Fiscal 2011 and in Italy during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010).

Net revenues fromChapsincreased $2.7 million. The increase primarily reflects an increase in sales in Mexico due primarily to new product offerings and increased penetration within existing department store and membership club customers and, in Canada, increased sales to department stores. Those increases were partially offset by a decrease in net revenues in the U.S. primarily due to an increase in the level of customer allowances, partially offset by increased sales to customers in chain stores and a decrease in sales to the off-price channel.

(i) in Asia primarily due to (a) the expansion of the distribution network in the People’s Republic of China and other regions of Asia, partially offset by (b) the conversion of the Company’s wholesale businesses in Taiwan and India to retail businesses as a result of the acquisition of distributors’ businesses in those regions in January 2011 (Taiwan) and July 2011 (India);

43

(ii) in Mexico and Central and South America, primarily due to increased sales to department stores, including an increase in new product offerings and increased penetration within existing customers;

(iii) in Canada, a decrease in sales to membership clubs.

The increase in Swimwear Group operating income reflects the changes in gross profit and SG&A described above.

Other Loss (Income)

Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to Three Months Ended October 2, 2010

Other loss of $1.4 million for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 reflects a loss on the current portion of inter-company loans denominated in currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency that are not hedged with foreign exchange forward contracts, net of gains on foreign currency exchange contracts designed as economic hedges (seeNote 11ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). Other income of $1.9 million for the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010 primarily reflects a gain on the current portion of inter-company loans denominated in currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency that are not hedged with foreign exchange forward contracts, net of losses on foreign currency exchange contracts designed as economic hedges (seeNote 11 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010

Other loss of $0.5 million for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 reflects a gain on the current portion of inter-company loans denominated in currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency that are not hedged with foreign exchange forward contracts, net of losses on foreign currency exchange contracts designed as economic hedges (seeNote 11ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). Other loss of $5.7 million for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 primarily reflects a loss of $3.7 million related to the redemption of $160.9 million of Senior Notes during the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 (seeNote 14 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) and a loss on the current portion of inter-company loans denominated in currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency that are not hedged with foreign exchange forward contracts, partially offset by a gain on foreign currency exchange contracts designed as economic hedges (seeNote 11 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $2.0 million to $5.0 million for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 from $3.0 million for the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010 and decreased $1.1 million to $11.1 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 from $12.2 million for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010. The changes for each comparative period primarily relate to fluctuations in the balances and interest rates on the Company’s debt facilities including (i) the 2011 Term Loan, which was entered into in June 2011; (ii) the CKJEA Notes payable; (iii) the 2008 Credit Agreements; (iv) the Italian Note, which was entered into in the third quarter of Fiscal 2010 and repaid in June 2011; (v) the Brazilian lines of credit, and (vi) increases in interest expense arising from maturity of caplets and accretion of the deferred premium under the interest rate cap entered into on July 1, 2011 (seeNote 14ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). The change for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 also relates to the remaining balance ($160.9 million) of the Senior Notes, which were fully redeemed during the first and second quarters of Fiscal 2010 (seeNote 12ofNotes to Consolidated Financial Statementsin the Company’s Annual Report for Fiscal 2010).

52

Interest Income

Interest income increased $0.3 million to $1.0 million for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 from $0.7 million for the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010 and increased $0.3 million to $2.5 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 from $2.2 million for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, due primarily to an increase in the average of the Company’s cash balance during the respective comparative periods.

Income Taxes

Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to Three Months Ended October 2, 2010

The effective tax rates for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 were 18.1% and 38.6%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 primarily reflects a tax benefit of $7.3 million recorded during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 related to a reduction in the reserve for uncertain tax positions in certain foreign tax jurisdictions, as well as a tax benefit of approximately $1.3 million recorded during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 relating to a change in various domestic and foreign tax provision estimates for Fiscal 2010 following the filing of certain of the Company’s tax returns during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011. In addition, certain discrete charges to the tax provision recorded during the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010 (in total $3.6 million) did not reoccur in the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011.

Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010

The effective tax rates for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 were 22.0% and 36.0%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 primarily reflects a tax benefit of approximately $11.0 million, recorded during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, associated with the recognition of pre-2004 net operating losses in a foreign jurisdiction as a result of receiving a favorable ruling from that country’s taxing authority during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, a tax benefit of $7.3 million recorded during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 related to a reduction in the reserve for uncertain tax positions in certain foreign tax jurisdictions, as well as a tax benefit of approximately $1.3 million recorded during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 relating to a change in various domestic and foreign tax provision estimates for Fiscal 2010 following the filing of certain of the Company’s tax returns during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011. In addition, certain discrete charges to the tax provision recorded during the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 (in total $3.6 million) did not reoccur in the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011.

Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, was $4.2 million for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to income of $0.1 million for the Three Months Ended October 2, 2010. Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, was $4.7 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to a loss of $0.4 million for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010. The losses for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 were primarily associated with a reserve related to theLejabybusiness (seeNote 18ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). Income and loss for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, respectively, were primarily related to the Company’sOcean Pacific ApparelandLejabydiscontinued businesses. SeeNote 4ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The Company’s principal source of operating cash flows is from sales of its products to customers. In constant currencies, sales to customers increased for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 (seeOverview,Non-GAAP MeasuresandResults of Operations — Net Revenues,above). The Company’s principal operating outflows of cash relate to purchases of inventory and related costs, SG&A expenses and capital expenditures, primarily related to store fixtures and retail store openings.

53

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, cash outflows increased primarily related to additional investments in working capital (seeAccounts Receivable and InventoriesandCash Flows, below) and an increase in SG&A expenses (seeSelling, General and Administrative Expenses, above) in Europe, Asia and in Mexico and Central and South America primarily related to the increase in newly opened and acquired retail stores. In addition, cash outflows resulted from an increase in costs for raw material, labor and freight, particularly in the U.S., Asian and European businesses and have adversely affected the operating margins of the Company’s businesses. The Company expects that the rate of product cost increases will stabilize or decline during the remainder of Fiscal 2011. The Company was able to partially mitigate the cost increases (and expects to be able to partially mitigate such increases in the future) by selectively increasing the selling prices of its goods, early purchases of product and by implementing other sourcing initiatives.

The Company believes that, at October 1, 2011, cash on hand, cash to be generated from future operating activities and cash available under the 2011 Term Loan Agreement, 2008 Credit Agreements, the CKJEA Notes and other short-term debt (seeNote 14ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements)will be sufficient to fund its operations, including contractual obligations (seeNote 19ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements,above) and capital expenditures (see below) for the next 12 months.

As of October 1, 2011, the Company had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $605.1 million. Included in working capital as of October 1, 2011 were (among other items) cash and cash equivalents of $179.3 million and short-term debt of $47.8 million, including $2.0 million under the 2011 Term Loan Agreement, $39.0 million under the CKJEA Notes and $6.8 million of other short-term debt.

2011 Term Loan Agreement

On June 17, 2011, Warnaco Group, Warnaco, Calvin Klein Jeanswear Company (“CK Jeans”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Warnaco Group, and Warnaco Swimwear Products Inc. (“Warnaco Swimwear”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Warnaco Group, entered into the 2011 Term Loan Agreement with the financial institutions which are the lenders thereunder (the “Lenders”). Warnaco, CK Jeans and Warnaco Swimwear are co-borrowers on a joint and several basis under the 2011 Term Loan Agreement (the “Borrowers”) (seeNote 14ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

The 2011 Term Loan Agreement provides for a $200 million senior secured term loan facility, maturing on June 17, 2018. In addition, during the term of the 2011 Term Loan Agreement, the Borrowers may request additional credit commitments for incremental term loan facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million plus the aggregate principal amount of the term loans that the Borrowers have voluntarily prepaid prior to the date of such request. The Borrowers may request a greater amount to the extent that Warnaco Group meets certain financial tests set forth in the 2011 Term Loan Agreement. At October 1, 2011, there was $199.5 million in term loans outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan Agreement. The Company paid approximately $5.0 million in financing costs related to the 2011 Term Loan.

On the last day of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters, beginning on October 1, 2011, $500,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the 2011 Term Loan must be repaid. Such amount will be reduced if a portion of the principal amount is prepaid. The remaining principal amount is due on June 17, 2018.

The 2011 Term Loan Agreement provides interest rate options, at the Borrowers’ election, including a base rate, as defined in the 2011 Term Loan Agreement, and LIBOR (with a floor of 1.00%) plus a margin of 2.75%, in each case, on a per annum basis. Accrued interest will be paid in arrears on the last day of each interest period through the maturity date. Payment dates are the last calendar day (or business day if the last calendar day is not a business day) of each of January, April, July and October, beginning on October 31, 2011. Reset dates are two business days prior to a payment date, beginning on October 29, 2011 (determines the three-month LIBOR variable leg for the following three month period). From inception of the loan through July 29, 2011, the Company elected to use a combination of a base rate and a LIBOR rate of interest, each on a portion of the outstanding balance ($80 million at 3.75% and $120 million at a base rate of 5.0%). From July 29, 2011 through October 31, 2011, the interest rate on the entire balance of the 2011 Term Loan is 3.75%, based on three-month LIBOR (with a floor of 1.00%) plus a margin of 2.75%. At October 1, 2011, the loans under the 2011 Term Loan Agreement had a weighted average annual interest rate of 3.75%. In order to match the interest rate on the hedged portion of the 2011 Term Loan with that on the interest rate cap (see below), the Company intends to use successive interest periods of three months and adjusted three-month LIBOR rates (with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%) plus 2.75% on aper annumbasis from July 29, 2011 through the maturity date of the 2011 Term Loan.

The 2011 Term Loan Agreement does not require the Borrowers to comply with any financial maintenance covenants but does contain customary representations, warranties and affirmative covenants. The 2011 Term Loan Agreement also contains customary negative covenants providing limitations, subject to negotiated carve-outs, with respect to (i) incurrence of indebtedness and liens, (ii) significant corporate changes including mergers and acquisitions with third parties, (iii) investments, (iv) loans, (v) advances and guarantees to or for the benefit of third parties, (vi) hedge agreements, (vii) certain restricted payments and (viii) transactions with affiliates and certain other restrictive agreements, among others.

54

The 2011 Term Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a “Change of Control” (as defined in the 2011 Term Loan Agreement), or the failure to observe the certain covenants therein. Upon an event of default, the Lenders may, among other things, declare any then outstanding loans due and payable immediately.

The proceeds of the 2011 Term Loan Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes, which include funding acquisitions and internal growth, repaying indebtedness (including, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2011, the 2008 Credit Agreements and the Italian Note, see below), and repurchasing common stock of Warnaco.

Interest Rate Cap Agreement

On July 1, 2011, the Company entered into a deferred premium interest rate cap agreement with HSBC Bank USA (the “Counterparty”), effective July 29, 2011, (notional amount $120 million) (the “Cap Agreement”). The Cap Agreement is a series of 27 individual caplets (in total, the “Cap”) that reset and settle quarterly over the period from October 31, 2011 to April 30, 2018. Under the terms of the Cap Agreement, if three-month LIBOR resets above a strike price of 1.00%, the Company will receive the net difference between the rate and the strike price. In addition, on the quarterly settlement dates, the Company will remit the deferred premium payment to the Counterparty. If LIBOR resets below the strike price no payment is made by the Counterparty. However, the Company would still be responsible for payment of the deferred premium. At July 1, 2011, the Company was obligated to make premium payments totaling approximately $16.0 million, based on an annual rate of 1.9475% on the notional amount of the Cap, over the term of the Cap Agreement. The effect of the Cap Agreement is to limit the interest rate payable on average over the term of the Cap Agreement to 5.6975% with respect to the portion of the 2011 Term Loan that equals the notional amount of the Cap.

Short-Term Borrowings

As of October 1, 2011, under the 2008 Credit Agreement, the Company had no loans and $29.1 million in letters of credit outstanding, leaving approximately $189.7 million of availability, and, under the 2008 Canadian Credit Agreement, no loans and $2.0 million of letters of credit, leaving approximately $20.3 million of availability (seeNote 14ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).During June 2011, the outstanding balances under the 2008 Credit Agreements were repaid with a portion of the proceeds from the 2011 Term Loan.

The revolving credit facilities under the 2008 Credit Agreements reflect funding commitments by a syndicate of banks, including Bank of America N.A., JPMorgan Chase, N.A., Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland and The Bank of Nova Scotia. The ability of any one or more of those banks to meet its commitment to provide the Company with funding up to the maximum of available credit is dependent on the fair value of the bank’s assets and its legal lending ratio relative to those assets (amount the bank is allowed to lend). The Company believes that, during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, those banks had the ability to make loans up to their respective funding commitments under the 2008 Credit Agreements and that they will continue to be able to make such loans in the future. However, the Company continues to monitor the creditworthiness of the syndicated banks.

The 2008 Credit Agreements contain covenants limiting the Company’s ability to (i) incur additional indebtedness and liens, (ii) make significant corporate changes including mergers and acquisitions with third parties, (iii) make investments, (iv) make loans, advances and guarantees to or for the benefit of third parties, (v) enter into hedge agreements, (vi) make restricted payments (including dividends and stock repurchases), and (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates. The 2008 Credit Agreements also include certain other restrictive covenants. In addition, if Available Credit (as defined in the 2008 Credit Agreements) is less than a threshold amount (as specified in the 2008 Credit Agreements) the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage ratio (as defined in the 2008 Credit Agreements) must be at least 1.1 to 1.0. In connection with entering into the 2011 Term Loan Agreement, the Company amended the 2008 Credit Agreements to allow the Company to incur indebtedness and grant liens. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of its 2008 Credit Agreements as of October 1, 2011, January 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010.

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company was able to borrow funds, from time to time, under the 2008 Credit Agreement for seasonal and other cash flow requirements, including repurchase of Common Stock (seeNote 15ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements), settlement of the OP litigation (seeNotes 4 and 18ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements), funding of the Company’s pension plan, and payment of employee incentive-based compensation. As of October 1, 2011, the Company expects that it will continue to be able to obtain needed funds under the 2008 Credit Agreements when requested. However, in the event that such funds are not available, the Company may have to delay certain capital expenditures or plans to expand its business, to scale back operations and/or to raise capital through the sale of its equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to sell its equity or debt securities on terms that are satisfactory.

55

The CKJEA Notes consist of short-term revolving notes with a number of banks at various interest rates (primarily Euro LIBOR plus 1.0%) held by certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries. The outstanding balance under the CKJEA Notes was $39.0 million, $18.4 million, and $48.7 million at October 1, 2011, January 2, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively. During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, the Company was able to borrow funds under the CKJEA Notes, as needed, to fund operations. The Company will continue to renew the CKJEA Notes for additional terms of no more than twelve months and expects that it will continue to be able to borrow funds under the CKJEA Notes in the future. The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the counterparty financial institutions that hold the CKJEA Notes and does not currently anticipate non-performance by those counterparties. Management believes that the Company would not suffer a material loss in the event of non-performance by those counterparties.

The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, WBR, has established lines of credit with several banks in order to improve cash flows and fund operations as needed. The lines of credit are secured by approximately equal amounts of WBR’s trade accounts receivable. At October 1, 2011, January 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, the total outstanding balances of the lines of credit were approximately $4.3 million, $0.4 million and $0, respectively. During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 and the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, WBR was able to borrow funds under the lines of credit, as needed, to fund operations.

During September 2011, one of the Company’s Asian subsidiaries entered into a short-term $25 million revolving credit facility with one lender (the “Asian Credit Facility”) to be used for temporary working capital and general corporate purposes. The Asian Credit Facility bears interest of 1.75% over 1-month LIBOR, which is due monthly. At the end of each month, amounts outstanding under the Asian Credit Facility may be carried forward for further 1-month periods for up to one year. The Asian Credit Facility may be renewed annually. The Asian Credit Facility is subject to certain terms and conditions customary for a credit facility of this type and may be terminated at any time at the discretion of the lender. There were no borrowings during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011.

The Italian Note was entered into by one of the Company’s Italian subsidiaries on September 30, 2010 in connection with the acquisition of the business of a distributor of itsCalvin Klein products in Italy (seeNote 2ofNotes to Consolidated Financial Statementsin the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2010). The initial principal amount of the Italian Notes was €10.0 million ($13.4 million). On June 30, 2011, the remaining outstanding balance of €6.0 million ($8.6 million) was repaid with a portion of the proceeds from the 2011 Term Loan.

The Company’s corporate or family credit ratings and outlooks at October 1, 2011, are summarized below:

Rating	Corporate/Family
Agency	Rating (a)	Outlook
Standard & Poor’s	BBB-	stable
Moody’s	Ba1	stable

(a) ratings on individual debt instruments can be different from the Company’s corporate or family credit ratings depending on the priority position of creditors holding such debt, collateral related to such debt and other factors. On June 27, 2011, Moody’s upgraded the rating on the Company’s 2008 Credit Agreements to Baa1 from Baa2 (both investment-grade ratings). Standard & Poor’s has assigned a rating of BBB- and Moody’s has assigned a rating of Ba1 to the 2011 Term Loan.

The Company’s credit ratings contribute to its ability to access the credit markets. Factors that can affect the Company’s credit ratings include changes in its operating performance, the economic environment, conditions in the apparel industry, the Company’s financial position, and changes in the Company’s business or financial strategy. If a downgrade of the Company’s credit ratings were to occur, it could adversely affect, among other things, the Company’s future borrowing costs and access to capital markets. Given the Company’s capital structure and its projections for future profitability and cash flow, the Company believes it is well positioned to obtain additional financing, if necessary, to refinance its debt, or, if opportunities present themselves, to make future acquisitions. However, there can be no assurance that such financing, if needed, can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company or at such time as a specific need may arise.

Capital Expenditures

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company leased approximately 133,000 square feet of additional retail store space worldwide from newly opened stores and acquired an additional 25,000 square feet of retail space in Taiwan and an additional 45,000 square feet of retail space in India (seeNote 3ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements), which resulted in capital expenditures (primarily related to store fixtures) of approximately $18 million. The Company has targeted an additional 50,000 square feet of new retail space for the remainder of Fiscal 2011, for which it expects to incur additional costs for capital expenditures of approximately $10 million.

56

Restructuring

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company incurred restructuring and other exit costs of $19.0 million primarily related to the consolidation and restructuring of certain international operations, job eliminations in the U.S. and lease contract termination charges related to retail store, office and warehouse closures, and made payments of approximately $11.7 million related to those activities. During the remainder of Fiscal 2011, the Company expects to incur additional costs of approximately $5 million related to these initiatives. SeeNote 5ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statementsfor additional information on restructuring and other exit activities.

Business Acquisitions

During the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, the Company acquired the remaining 49% equity interest in WBR, its subsidiary in Brazil. In addition to the initial cash payment made upon acquisition, the consideration also includes three contingent payments through March 31, 2012. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2011, the Company made the second contingent payment of 18.5 million Brazilian Real (approximately $11.5 million as of March 31, 2011), based upon the operating results of WBR for Fiscal 2010. The Company expects that, based upon the operating results of WBR for Fiscal 2011, the third contingent payment will be 18.5 million Brazilian Real (approximately $10.1 million as of October 1, 2011), which will be paid on March 31, 2012. SeeNote 3ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2011, the Company acquired certain assets, including inventory and leasehold improvements and leases of the retail stores of itsCalvin Klein distributor in Taiwan for cash consideration of $1.4 million. SeeNote 3ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

On July 8, 2011, the Company acquired a controlling interest (51%) in the equity of a joint venture with a distributor of itsCalvin Kleinproducts in India for cash consideration of approximately $17.8 million, net of cash acquired of $2.6 million. In addition, the Company loaned the non-controlling party in the joint venture $6.0 million with an interest rate of 5.0% per annum. The loan matures on July 8, 2016. Interest on the loan is payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar year (seeNote3 ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

Share Repurchases

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company repurchased the remaining 4,060,842 shares of its common stock under the 2010 Share Repurchase Program for a total of $205.8 million (based on an average of $50.68 per share). In addition, the Company repurchased 43,563 shares of common stock for a total of $2.4 million (based on an average of $55.24 per share) related to the surrender of shares for the payment of minimum income tax due upon vesting of certain restricted stock awarded by the Company to its employees (seeNote 15ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial StatementsandPart II. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, below).Repurchased shares are held in treasury pending use for general corporate purposes.

During September 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new multi-year share repurchase program for up to $200 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company repurchased 104,300 shares under the 2011 Share Repurchase Program for $5.0 million (based on an average of $47.90 per share).

Derivative Financial Instruments

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, some of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar made purchases of inventory, paid minimum royalty and advertising costs and /or had intercompany payables, receivables or loans denominated in U.S. dollars or Pounds Sterling. In order to minimize the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of those transactions, the Company uses derivative financial instruments; primarily foreign currency exchange forward contracts. In addition, during July 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate cap, which is being accounted for as a cash flow hedge, to offset fluctuations in the LIBOR rate related to $120.0 million of its 2011 Term Loan (seeNotes 11and 14 ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

57

The Company carries its derivative financial instruments at fair value on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. At October 1, 2011, the Company’s foreign currency hedging programs included $51.2 million of future inventory purchases, $21.4 million of future minimum royalty and advertising payments and $68.5 million of intercompany payables and loans denominated in non-functional currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar (seeNotes 10and11ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statementsfor further information on fair value measurement of the Company’s derivative financial instruments).

Pension Plan

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the “PPA”) revised the basis and methodology for determining defined benefit plan minimum funding requirements as well as maximum contributions to and benefits paid from tax-qualified plans. The PPA may ultimately require the Company to make additional contributions to its domestic plan. During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company contributed $7.2 million to the domestic pension plan. Contributions for Fiscal 2011 are expected to total $8.8 million and for the following four years are expected to be in the range of $5.4 million and $9.5 million. Actual later year contributions could exceed the Company’s current projections, and may be influenced by future changes in government requirements. Additionally, the Company’s projections concerning timing of the PPA funding requirements are subject to change and may be influenced by factors such as general market conditions affecting trust asset performance, interest rates, and the Company’s future decisions regarding certain elective provisions of the PPA. SeeNote 8ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statementsfor additional information on the Company’s pension plan.

The fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets, net of expenses, decreased to approximately $117.6 million at October 1, 2011 compared to $127.7 million at January 1, 2011, reflecting an actual annualized rate of return on the Pension Plan’s assets, net of expenses, of 10% (loss) for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011. That rate of return was less than the assumed rate of return of 8% (gain) per year on Pension Plan assets which the Company has been using to estimate pension income (expense) on an interim basis, based upon historical results. Based upon the decrease in the fair value of the investment portfolio for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company expects to recognize pension expense of between $9 million and $14 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011. The Company’s pension income (expense) is also affected by the discount rate used to calculate Pension Plan liabilities, by Pension Plan amendments and by Pension Plan benefit experience compared to assumed experience and other factors. These factors could increase or decrease the amount of pension income or expense ultimately recorded by the Company for Fiscal 2011. Based upon results for Fiscal 2010, a 0.1% increase (decrease) in the discount rate would decrease (increase) pension expense by approximately $1.7 million.

Accounts Receivable and Inventories

Accounts receivable increased $23.3 million to $341.4 million at October 1, 2011 from $318.1 million at January 1, 2011, and decreased $5.1 million to $341.4 million at October 1, 2011 from $346.5 million at October 2, 2010. The balance of accounts receivable at October 1, 2011 compared to the balances at January 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 includes a decrease of $8.4 million and $9.4 million, respectively, due to fluctuations in exchange rates in the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies in connection with transactions in countries where the Company conducts certain of its operations (principally the Euro, Korean Won, Canadian Dollar, Brazilian Real, Chinese Yuan and Mexican Peso). Thus, on a constant currency basis, accounts receivable at October 1, 2011 increased compared to both January 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010.

Inventories increased $81.6 million to $392.1 million at October 1, 2011 from $310.5 million at January 1, 2011 and increased $67.7 million to $392.1 million at October 1, 2011 from $324.4 million at October 2, 2010. The balance of inventories at October 1, 2011 compared to the balances at January 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 includes a decrease of $7.8 million and $8.9 million, respectively, due to fluctuations in exchange rates in the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies in connection with transactions in countries where the Company conducts certain of its operations (principally the Euro, Korean Won, Canadian Dollar, Brazilian Real, Chinese Yuan and Mexican Peso). The inventory increase from October 2, 2010 to October 1, 2011 primarily reflects the expansion of the Company’s retail business (including retail openings and acquisitions), and higher product costs. The Company is comfortable with the quality of its inventory and expects that inventory levels at the end of Fiscal 2011 will be better aligned with sales growth.

Working capital changes for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 included cash outflows of $32.4 million related to accounts receivable (due to increased sales in September 2011 compared to December 2010 and the timing of payments), $101.4 million related to inventory (primarily to support the Company’s growth expectations for the remainder of Fiscal 2011 and the beginning of the year ending December 29, 2012), $13.1 million related to prepaid expenses and other assets (primarily related to assets associated with the Company’s hedging activities, prepaid royalty, prepaid rent and prepaid taxes, other than income taxes), and $12.1 million related to accrued income taxes, partially offset by cash inflows of $14.8 million related to accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities (due to the timing of payments for purchases of inventory).

Working capital changes for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 included cash outflows of $59.3 million related to accounts receivable (due to increased sales in September 2010 compared to December 2009 and the timing of payments), $74.6 million related to inventory (to support the Company’s growth expectations for the balance of the year) and $10.5 million related to prepaid expenses and other assets (primarily related to prepaid advertising and royalty expenses), partially offset by cash inflows of $61.5 million related to accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities (due to the timing of payments for purchases of inventory) and $39.9 million related to accrued income taxes.

For the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations increased $16.9 million primarily related to settlement of the OP litigation (seeNotes 4 and 18ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

For the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011, net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $61.6 million, mainly attributable to purchases of property, plant and equipment associated with the Company’s retail stores and acquisition of the business of the Company’s distributor ofCalvin Kleinproducts in India. For the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010, net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $36.6 million, mainly attributable to purchases of property, plant and equipment, including $29.8 million related to the Company’s new distribution center in the Netherlands and the opening of new retail stores, and $8.4 million related to acquisitions of businesses in Asia.

Net cash used in financing activities for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2011 was $9.4 million, which primarily reflects cash used of $211.2 million related to the repurchase of treasury stock (in connection with the 2010 Share Repurchase Program, the 2011 Share Repurchase Program and the surrender of shares for the payment of minimum income tax due upon vesting of certain restricted stock awarded by the Company to its employees), repayment of the Italian Note ($13.4 million), $11.5 million related to a contingent payment made during the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 in connection with the acquisition of the equity interest in WBR, which occurred in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009 and was accounted for as an equity transaction and $5.3 million in payment of deferred financing costs primarily related to the 2011 Term Loan, partially offset by net cash provided of $200.0 million related to borrowings under the 2011 Term Loan, $24.3 million received from short term borrowings and $8.2 million from the exercise of employee stock options.

59

Net cash used in financing activities for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2010 was $221.2 million, which primarily reflects net cash used of $164.0 million related to the repurchase of Senior Notes, $84.1 million related to the repurchase of treasury stock (in connection with the 2007 Share Repurchase Program, the 2010 Share Repurchase Program and the surrender of shares for the payment of minimum income tax due upon vesting of certain restricted stock awarded by the Company to its employees) and $3.4 million related to a contingent payment in connection with the acquisition of the equity interest in WBR in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009 and was accounted for as an equity transaction, partially offset by cash provided of $15.3 million related to increased balance of short-term notes, $7.0 million related to amounts borrowed under the 2008 Credit Agreements and $8.2 million from the exercise of employee stock options.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to changes in hypothetical investment values under certain of the Company’s employee benefit plans, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During May 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2010 Share Repurchase Program”), which allows the Company to repurchase up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock. During the first half of Fiscal 2011, the Company purchased 1,629,651 shares of common stock for a total of $87.6 million (based on $53.75 per share) under the 2010 Share Repurchase Program. During the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company purchased the remaining 2,431,191 shares of common stock for a total of $118.2 million (based on $48.62 per share) under the 2010 Share Repurchase Program.

During September 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new multi-year share repurchase program (the “2011 Share Repurchase Program”) for up to $200 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011, the Company repurchased 104,300 shares of common stock for a total of $5.0 million (based on $47.90 per share) under the 2011 Share Repurchase Program. All repurchases of shares under the 2011 Share Repurchase Program will be made consistent with the terms of the Company’s applicable debt instruments.

An aggregate of 6,420 shares included below as repurchased during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011 reflect the surrender of shares in connection with the vesting of certain restricted stock awarded by the Company to its employees. At the election of an employee, shares having an aggregate value on the vesting date equal to the employee’s withholding tax obligation may be surrendered to the Company in satisfaction thereof. The repurchase of these shares is not a part of the 2010 Share Repurchase Program or the 2011 Share Repurchase Program.

The following table summarizes repurchases of the Company’s common stock during the Three Months Ended October 1, 2011.

In the event that available credit under the 2008 Credit Agreements is less than 25% of the aggregate borrowing limit under the 2008 Credit Agreements, the 2008 Credit Agreements place restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends on the Common Stock and to repurchase shares of the Common Stock. In addition, if an event of default, as defined in the 2011 Term Loan Agreement, has occurred and is continuing or if the consolidated interest coverage ratio, as defined in the 2011 Term Loan Agreement, for the Company’s most recent four fiscal quarters is less than 2.25 to 1.00, the 2011 Term Loan places restrictions on the payment of dividends and repurchases of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that are otherwise allowed to be paid or repurchased up to the cap set forth in the 2011 Term Loan Agreement. At October 1, 2011, the triggering events for restriction on the payment of dividends and repurchase of shares under the 2008 Credit Agreements and under the 2011 Term Loan had not been met. The Company has not paid any dividends on the Common Stock.
