HANESBRANDS REPORTS SECOND-QUARTER 2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS

• Strong 2Q results achieve high end of guidance for net sales, operating profit and EPS

• For full-year outlook, company expects to achieve the midpoint of guidance or higher

• 2Q net sales of $1.76 billion increased 3% with in-line Innerwear results, double-digit Activewear growth, and better-than-expected International growth

• 2Q GAAP EPS of $0.42 increased 8% and adjusted EPS of $0.45 consistent with a year ago

• 2Q operating cash flow more than doubled to $137 million

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (Aug 1, 2019) - HanesBrands (NYSE: HBI), a leading global marketer of everyday basic apparel under world-class brands, today announced strong second-quarter 2019 results with net sales, operating profit and earnings per diluted share achieving the high end of company guidance.

For the second quarter ended June 29, 2019, net sales increased 3% to $1.76 billion. In constant currency, net sales increased 5%, the eighth consecutive quarter of organic constant-currency sales growth. Innerwear segment sales met expectations, Activewear segment sales increased more than 10%, as expected, and International sales growth of 4% exceeded expectations. Global sales of Champion brand activewear and innerwear increased more than 50%, excluding the U.S. mass channel.

Second-quarter GAAP operating profit increased 6% to $234 million, while adjusted operating profit increased 1% to $247 million. GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.42 increased 8%, and adjusted EPS of $0.45 was the same as a year ago. (See the Note on Adjusted Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP Measures section later in this news release for additional discussion and details.)

“Our successful growth strategies drove strong second-quarter results and first-half momentum, including outstanding Champion brand growth, very effective product innovation, international growth, and continued consumer-direct sales growth,” said Hanes Chief Executive Officer Gerald W. Evans Jr. “This momentum combined with our second-half plans and visibility gives us confidence in our ability to achieve full-year guidance at the midpoint or higher. Champion bookings remain strong, additional product innovation is planned, the outlook for International contributions remains positive, and our operating margin is expanding. We are solidly on track to meet our cash flow and debt leverage goals.”

Callouts for Financial Results and Outlook

Strong Second-Quarter Results Achieved the High End of Company Guidance. The expectations contained in company guidance for the second quarter were net sales of $1.735 billion to $1.765 billion; GAAP operating profit of $223 million to $233 million, with adjusted operating profit of $238 million to $248 million; and GAAP EPS of $0.40 to $0.42, with adjusted EPS of $0.43 to $0.45.

Global Champion Sales Growth Exceeded Expectations, Increasing More Than 50% Outside the Mass Channel. Sell-through strength at existing accounts, expanded wholesale distribution, increased consumer-direct sales, successful product offerings, and channel segmentation drove the eighth consecutive quarter of strong double-digit growth for global Champion outside the mass channel.

Champion growth in the second quarter was widespread across geographies, including North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. In China, the company’s retail partner is adding Champion branded stores, and the company has added a second retail partner to accelerate expansion of stores and online sales in 2020.

Worldwide Innovate-to-Elevate Initiatives are Increasing. The company is expanding existing innovation platforms into new product categories and geographies and is introducing new product innovation.

Innerwear initiatives are underway or planned for the Hanes, Maidenform, Bali, DIM and Bonds brands. They include new product launches in bras, cooling innovation in shapewear, compression innovation in hosiery, and the second-generation X-Temp cooling fabric. The bra launches include the EasyLight lightweight bra that uses innovation for barely there comfort without compromising support and the Dream Wire bra that utilizes uniquely padded underwire innovation for comfort.

Champion is taking advantage of new graphic embellishment techniques and leveraging its heritage reverse-weave fabric innovation for new products, including the introduction of sports bras made with comfortable sweatshirt fabric. The company also continues to complement its worldwide product portfolios with eco-related fabrications and packaging. The Hanes, Alternative, Champion, Bonds and DIM brands have introduced innerwear or activewear products utilizing recycled yarns, recycled polyester, organic cotton, or cellulose-based fabrics.

Double-Digit Growth for Domestic and International Consumer-Directed Sales. Global consumer-directed sales, consisting of company-owned retail stores and all online channel sales, increased 8% on a reported basis in the second quarter and represented 23% of total sales.

Second-Quarter Cash Flow More Than Doubled and Debt Leverage Declined. Cash flow from operations more than doubled to $137 million in the quarter as a result of improved working capital and net income growth. The company’s debt leverage at the end of the quarter was 3.5 times adjusted EBITDA, down from 3.9 times at the end of the year-ago quarter. The company remains on track to reduce leverage to 2.9 times adjusted EBITDA by the end of the year.

Second-Quarter Business Segment Summaries

Innerwear Segment Results Consistent with Expectations. U.S. Innerwear segment net sales decreased 2% in the second quarter, while operating profit decreased 6%.

Sales of Innerwear basics decreased 2% in the quarter as expected. Sales of Innerwear intimates declined less than 3% in the quarter, improving sequentially from the first quarter. Intimates performance reflected continued double-digit growth for shapewear and progress in the company’s bra revitalization initiative.

Activewear Segment Sales and Profits Increased Double-Digits on Strong Champion Growth. U.S.Activewear segment second-quarter net sales increased more than 10% and operating profit increased nearly 20%. Operating margin increased 120 basis points to 15.3%.

Sales for Champion outperformed expectations. Outside the mass channel, Champion sales increased more than 50% as a result of strong sell-through, space expansion, new distribution and growth in the consumer-directed, bookstore and distributor channels. The brand’s mass business, C9 by Champion, increased 8% on strong sell-through.

For the non-Champion portion of the segment, second-quarter sales declined, as expected, as the company exited commodity-oriented business in the mass channel and continues to focus on remixing sales to improve profitability.

International Segment Growth Continues to be Broad-Based. International segment net sales increased 4% as reported and more than 10% in constant currency. Operating profit increased 6% as reported and 12% in constant currency. The segment’s operating margin increased 20 basis points to 14.3% on the strength of increased volume and integration synergies.

The innerwear and activewear categories delivered growth internationally. Geographically, constant-currency sales increased by double-digits in Europe and Asia and high-single-digits in Australia.

2019 Financial Guidance

In reiterating its full-year 2019 financial guidance issued Feb. 7, 2019, the company expressed confidence in its ability to achieve net sales at the midpoint or higher and operating profit and EPS at the midpoint. The company has also issued guidance for the third quarter.

The company expects 2019 net sales of $6.885 billion to $6.985 billion, GAAP operating profit of $900 million to $930 million, adjusted operating profit of $955 million to $985 million, GAAP EPS of $1.59 to $1.67, adjusted EPS of $1.72 to $1.80, and net cash from operations of $700 million to $800 million.

At the midpoint, the 2019 guidance versus 2018 results represents net sales growth of approximately 2%; GAAP and adjusted operating profit growth of 5% and 2%, respectively; GAAP and adjusted EPS growth of 7% and 3%, respectively; and operating cash flow growth of 17%.

HanesBrands Reports Second-Quarter 2019 Financial Results - Page 4

For the third quarter, net sales are expected to be in the range of $1.84 billion to $1.875 billion, up slightly at the midpoint versus a year ago. GAAP operating profit is expected to be $264 million to $274 million, and adjusted operating profit is expected to be $276 million to $286 million. GAAP EPS is expected to be $0.49 to $0.52, and adjusted EPS is expected to be $0.52 to $0.55.

Guidance Assumptions. Key assumptions in the company’s guidance include: a cautious outlook for the U.S. brick-and-mortar retail market, including the effect of door closures; continued progress in U.S. Innerwear revitalization initiatives; price increases; negative effects of currency exchange rates; and increased marketing investment to support brand plans.

Organic sales in constant currency for 2019 are expected to increase more than 3% at the midpoint of full-year guidance and 1.5% at the midpoint of third-quarter guidance. Adverse foreign currency exchange rates are expected to reduce net sales as reported by approximately $115 million for the full year and $20 million in the third quarter. For operating profit, adverse foreign currency exchange rates are expected to reduce full-year results as reported by $17 million compared with last year. The company has increased its plans for added brand-building and growth-related investment versus last year by $7 million. The company now expects increased investment this year of $32 million versus prior guidance of $25 million.

Segment Guidance. At the midpoint of full-year guidance, International segment net sales are expected to increase approximately 6% and constant-currency organic sales are expected to increase more than 10%. Growth drivers are expected to be Champion sales growth in Asia and Europe and increased innerwear sales in Asia, Australia and the Americas, including the Hanes and Bonds brands. For the third quarter, International segment net sales on a reported basis are expected to increase approximately 3.5% and nearly 7% on a constant-currency basis.

U.S. Innerwear net sales at the midpoint of guidance for both the full year and third quarter are expected to decrease approximately 2%, reflecting a cautious outlook for the impact from retail door closings and benefits from price increases taken in the first quarter.

U.S. Activewear net sales growth at the midpoint of 2019 guidance is expected to approach 4%. Champion sales outside of the mass channel are expected to increase at double-digit rates each quarter, while the Champion mass business is expected to decrease approximately 10% to 11%. Full-year sales for the remainder of the Activewear segment are expected to decrease as the company focuses on higher-margin products. The company expects margin expansion for the Activewear segment for the year. For the third quarter, Activewear segment sales are expected to be comparable to the prior year.

Additional Guidance. The midpoint of 2019 guidance implies adjusted operating profit margin consistent year over year.

GAAP operating profit in 2019 is expected to reflect approximately $55 million in pretax charges, including $21 million taken in the first quarter and $13 million in the second quarter, related to acquisition integration and other supply chain actions. Approximately $20 million of the full-year charges are expected to be noncash. The charges reflect the completion of all outstanding acquisition integrations as well as Western Hemisphere supply chain realignment that includes speed-to-market initiatives that are part of the revitalization strategy for U.S. Innerwear.

HanesBrands Reports Second-Quarter 2019 Financial Results - Page 5

Hanes expects interest expense and other expenses to be approximately $224 million combined, with an estimated $54 million expected in the third quarter. The company expects capital expenditure investment of approximately $90 million to $100 million. A pension contribution of approximately $26 million made in the first quarter is reflected in operating cash flow guidance.

The company’s priority for use of excess operating cash flow is to pay down debt. The company’s debt leverage on a net-debt-to-adjusted-EBITDA basis is expected to be 2.9 times at year end. Consistent with the company’s seasonality, net cash from operations was a use of $57 million in the first half.

The company expects an annual effective tax rate of approximately 14% and slightly less than 366 million shares outstanding for both the third quarter and full year.

Hanes has updated its quarterly frequently-asked-questions document, which is available at www.Hanes.com/faq.

Note on Adjusted Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP Measures

To supplement financial guidance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the company provides quarterly and full-year results and guidance concerning certain non‐GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EPS, adjusted net income, adjusted operating profit and margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted gross profit and margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. Adjusted net income is defined as net income from continuing operations excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit excluding actions. Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding actions. Adjusted SG&A is defined as selling, general and administrative expenses excluding actions.

Charges for actions taken in 2018 primarily represent acquisition and integration costs related to Hanes Europe Innerwear, Hanes Australasia, Champion Europe, Alternative Apparel and Bras N Things, and other costs related to supply chain network changes. Charges for actions taken and expected to be taken in 2019 primarily represent supply chain network changes and overhead reduction as well as completion of outstanding acquisition integration. Acquisition and integration costs include legal fees, consulting fees, bank fees, severance costs, certain purchase accounting items, facility closures, inventory write-offs, information technology integration costs and similar charges related to the integration of recently acquired businesses. While these costs are not operational in nature and are not expected to continue for any singular transaction on an ongoing basis, similar types of costs, expenses and charges have occurred in prior periods and may recur in future periods depending upon acquisition activity.

HanesBrands Reports Second-Quarter 2019 Financial Results - Page 6

Hanes has chosen to present these non‐GAAP measures to investors to enable additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means of evaluating operations absent the effect of acquisitions and other actions. Hanes believes these non-GAAP measures provide management and investors with valuable supplemental information for analyzing the operating performance of the company’s ongoing business during each period presented without giving effect to costs associated with the execution and integration of any of the aforementioned actions taken.

In addition, the company has chosen to present EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA to investors because it considers these measures to be an important supplemental means of evaluating operating performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding actions and stock compensation expense. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. These metrics are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry, and management uses the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes in connection with setting its capital allocation strategy. These metrics should not, however, be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.

Hanes is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. As a supplement to the company’s reported operating results, Hanes also presents constant-currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. The company uses constant-currency information to provide a framework to assess how the business performed compared to prior-year reporting periods excluding the effects of changes in the rates used to calculate foreign currency translation.

To calculate foreign currency translation 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).

Organic net sales are net sales excluding those derived from businesses acquired within the previous 12 months of a reporting date.

Hanes believes this information is useful to management and investors to facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in the company’s businesses.

Non‐GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP measures presented may be different from non-GAAP measures with similar or identical names presented by other companies.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current intent, beliefs, plans and expectations. Readers are cautioned not to place any undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements and from our historical results and experience. These risks and uncertainties include such things as: the highly competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we compete; the rapidly changing retail environment; any inadequacy, interruption, integration failure or security failure with respect to our information technology; the impact of significant fluctuations and volatility in various input costs, such as cotton and oil-related materials, utilities, freight and wages; our ability to properly manage strategic projects in order to achieve the desired results; our ability to attract and retain a senior management team with the core competencies needed to support growth in global markets; significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; our reliance on a relatively small number of customers for a significant portion of our sales; legal, regulatory, political and economic risks related to our international operations; our ability to realize all of the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; and other risks identified from time to time in our most recent Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

Hanesbrands is unable to reconcile projections for net debt to EBITDA, as adjusted, as of the end of the 2019 fiscal year without unreasonable efforts, because the company cannot predict, without unreasonable effort and otherwise to a reasonable degree of certainty, the exact amount of certain items that would impact this ratio, such as debt balances, revenue, tax rates, interest expense and stock compensation expense.

The company expects slightly less than 366 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter ended September 28, 2019 and the year ended December 28, 2019.

  Hanesbrands FAQs    Updated August 1, 2019 – New or updated information is in red    General and Current Period FAQs     (Guidance comments as of August 1, 2019)    (1)    Q:   What is factored into your full‐year 2019 guidance?  A:   Revenue:  Our full‐year revenue guidance of $6.885 billion to $6.985 billion represents low‐single‐digit growth year  over year.  It includes the following assumptions: (a) approximately $18 million of non‐organic acquisition  contributions from Bras N Things (from the beginning of the year through the mid‐February closing anniversary –  reflected in the International segment); (b) F/X headwind of approximately $115 million (reflected in the International  segment); and, (c) organic constant‐currency growth of more than 3% at the midpoint.  Based on our first half  performance and our positive outlook for the second half, we currently anticipate our full‐year revenue to be at the  midpoint of our guidance range or higher.    Using the midpoint, by segment, we expect U.S. Innerwear revenue to be down approximately 2% for the full‐year as  our cautious outlook with respect to the impact from bankruptcies and door closings, particularly within the mid‐tier  and department store channel, more than offsets Basics space gains, the net benefit from price increases and the  initial traction of our U.S. Intimates revitalization efforts.  U.S. Activewear’s revenue growth is expected to approach  4% for the year reflecting: (a) double‐digit growth in each quarter for Champion, excluding the mass channel (i.e. C9);  (b) C9 activewear revenue of approximately $340 million, which represents a decline of approximately 10% – 11% as  compared to 2018; and, (c) a decline in the rest of the Activewear segment as we continue to shift into higher‐margin  products.  The mix impact of these assumptions should yield margin improvement in our U.S. Activewear segment for  the year.  For the full year, our International segment revenue is expected to be up approximately 6% on a reported  basis.  On an organic, constant‐currency basis, our guidance reflects growth of slightly more than 10% driven by our  International Champion businesses as well as our innerwear businesses in Asia, Australia and the Americas, which is  expected to be partially offset by the impact from macro headwinds on our European innerwear business.      Operating Profit (GAAP and Adjusted):  Our full‐year Adjusted Operating Profit guidance of $955 million to $985  million excludes all pretax acquisition, integration, and other charges.  It includes approximately $3 million of non‐ organic acquisition contributions from Bras N Things (first quarter) as well as an F/X headwind of approximately $17  million.  At the midpoint, our guidance implies approximately 10 basis points of Adjusted Operating Margin expansion  year over year.  Our operating profit guidance reflects a $32 million year over year increase in investments (for  example, brand support), which is $7 million higher than our prior outlook of $25 million.  Our full‐year GAAP  Operating Profit guidance of $900 million to $930 million incorporates our Adjusted Operating Profit guidance as well  as our assumption of approximately $55 million of pretax acquisition, integration, and other charges.  Based on our  first half performance, our positive outlook for the second half, and the incremental $7 million of investments, we  currently anticipate our full‐year operating profit to be at the midpoint of our guidance range.    Interest/Other Expenses and Tax Rate:  Our guidance assumes approximately $224 million of Interest and Other  expenses as well as a tax rate of approximately 14%.  Our full‐year Interest and Other expense guidance does not  reflect the anticipated lower interest expense in the second half (relative to our first half trend), which is the result of  a cross‐currency swaps we put in place in July, lower borrowing rates, and higher levels of cash generation in the first  half.  In July we entered into a five‐year cross‐currency swap agreement to hedge the impact of currency fluctuations  on net investments in our European businesses.  We estimate this agreement will result in approximately $8 million of  lower interest expense on an annual basis over the life of the agreement.          1

  EPS (GAAP and Adjusted):  At the mid‐point, our guidance implies full‐year GAAP and Adjusted Net Income of  approximately $596 million and $643 million, respectively.  Our full‐year GAAP EPS guidance is $1.59 to $1.67 and our  Adjusted EPS guidance, which excludes all pretax acquisition, integration, and other charges, is $1.72 to $1.80.  Both  ranges are based on diluted shares outstanding of approximately 366 million.         Cash flow from operations:  Our full‐year cash flow from operations guidance is $700 million to $800 million.   Consistent with our normal seasonality, cash flow from operations was a use in the first half.  Our capital expenditure  guidance is $90 million to $100 million.          Pretax expenses:  Our guidance reflects approximately $55 million of pretax acquisition, integration, and other  expenses, of which $35 million are cash.  These charges reflect the completion of the integrations of all remaining  acquisitions as well as our supply chain actions, including the reduction of associated overhead costs, principally  within our Western Hemisphere network.  In isolation (for example, excluding other changes such as business mix,  inflation, deflation, pricing, etc.), we would expect these actions to deliver approximately $50 million of incremental  operating profit, beginning with approximately $40 million in 2020 and the remaining approximately $10 million in  2021.      (2)    Q:   What is factored into your Q3 2019 guidance?  A:   We expect total net sales of $1.840 billion to $1.875 billion.  This includes an approximate $20 million headwind from  the effects of foreign exchange rates as compared to last year.  The foreign exchange impact is reflected within the  International segment.  At the midpoint, our revenue guidance implies constant‐currency revenue growth of  approximately 1.5%, or up slightly on a reported basis.  As we’ve previously discussed, in the second half we project  our U.S. Activewear segment will be impacted (on a year over year basis) by the planned wind down of C9 and the exit  of commodity programs in the mass channel.  Adjusting for this, our third quarter guidance, at the midpoint, implies  total company sales growth of approximately 3% and constant currency sales growth in excess of 4%.    With respect to our segments, the midpoint of our third quarter guidance assumes an approximate 2% decline in U.S.  Innerwear revenue, which is unchanged from our prior outlook.  In U.S. Activewear, revenue is expected to be  consistent year over year, reflecting high‐teens growth in Champion Activewear (excluding C9) and an approximate  12% decline (or $40 million) for the remainder of the Activewear segment.  Adjusting for the wind down of C9 and the  exited businesses, our third quarter guidance implies U.S. Activewear revenue growth of over 8% (see question 3 for  additional details).  In International, our guidance assumes reported revenue growth of approximately 3.5% and  constant‐currency revenue growth approaching 7%.      Our guidance for GAAP Operating Profit is $264 million to $274 million.  Our guidance for Adjusted Operating Profit,  which excludes approximately $12 million of pretax acquisition, integration, and other expenses, is $276 million to  $286 million.  Our third quarter operating profit guidance includes: (a) approximately $13 million of increased  investments; (b) higher levels of variable compensation; and, (c) an expected F/X headwind of approximately $3  million.  At the midpoint, our guidance implies Adjusted Operating Margin expands approximately 10 basis points.   Our guidance assumes Interest and Other expenses of approximately $54 million, which is below our first half trend as  we anticipate lower interest expense in the second half due to a cross‐currency swap we put in place in July, lower  borrowing rates, and higher levels of cash generation in the first half.  Our guidance also assumes a tax rate of  approximately 14%.  Our guidance for GAAP EPS is $0.49 to $0.52.  Our guidance for Adjusted EPS, which excludes  pretax acquisition, integration, and other expenses, is $0.52 to $0.55.  Both ranges are based on diluted shares  outstanding of slightly less than 366 million for the quarter.                 2

  (3)    Q:   Can you provide any thoughts on C9 and the exited businesses impacting the second half 2019 year over year                   comparisons within the U.S. Activewear segment?  A:   As we have discussed since the beginning of the year, in the second half of 2019 we expect our U.S. Activewear  segment, as well as the total company, will be impacted by the planned wind down of C9 and the exit of commodity  programs in the mass channel (i.e. our remixing activity).  With respect to our C9 Activewear business, our 2019  guidance assumes revenue of approximately $340 million, which represents an approximate $42 million decline as  compared to the $382 million in 2018.  Our 2019 revenue assumption of approximately $340 million for C9  Activewear is approximately $10 million higher than our prior outlook of approximately $330 million.  This change is  the result of C9’s outperformance in the second quarter of 2019 relative to our prior outlook, which was driven by  strong sell through.  In the second half of 2019, we expect C9 Activewear revenue to decline approximately $15  million year over year (or approximately 15%) in the third quarter and decline approximately $30 million year over  year (or approximately 30%) in the fourth quarter.  Our second half 2019 outlook for C9 Activewear is unchanged  from our previous guidance.           With respect to the exited commodity programs in the mass channel, our guidance assumes zero revenue from these  programs in 2019 as compared to slightly less than $70 million of revenue in 2018.  On a quarterly basis, these exited  programs represented approximately $10 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2018, approximately $10 million in  the second quarter of 2018, approximately $30 million in the third quarter of 2018, and approximately $20 million in  the fourth quarter of 2018.           Adjusting for the wind down of C9 and the exit of commodity programs in the mass channel, our third quarter 2019  revenue guidance implies U.S. Activewear revenue growth of more than 8% and total company reported and  constant‐currency revenue growth of approximately 3% and more than 4%, respectively.  These calculations rebase  the third quarter of 2018 by removing the approximately $30 million of exited commodity programs in the mass  channel and the expected approximate $15 million year over year decline in C9 Activewear.  The rebased third quarter  2018 U.S. Activewear and total company revenue are approximately $510 million and approximately $1.804 billion,  respectively.           (4)    Q:   Can you provide an update as it relates to your plan for C9 after the January 2020 transition?  A:   We continue to see significant momentum building globally within the Champion brand (excluding C9) in both  innerwear and activewear.  We believe we are in the early stages of a long‐term growth opportunity for Champion  and our primary focus remains on placing our energy and resources toward maximizing this business.  With respect to  C9, there is no update to share.      (5)    Q:   Can you provide an update on the progress toward your 2022 goal of $2 billion in global Champion revenue?  A:   At our Investor Day in May 2018, we set a goal to double our Champion revenue, outside the mass channel (i.e. C9),  from approximately $1 billion in 2017 to $2 billion in 2022, representing a 15% CAGR over five years.  For 2018,  Champion sales, excluding C9, were approximately $1.36 billion.  We expect 2019 full‐year Champion sales, excluding  C9, to be in excess of $1.8 billion, which represents a low‐to‐mid 30% increase over 2018 and is higher than our  outlook in May as well as our outlook at the beginning of the year.  Based on these trends, we remain ahead of  schedule in achieving our $2 billion revenue goal.                   3

  (6)    Q:   Can you provide an update on your progress to return your U.S. Innerwear business to more consistent long‐term                   growth?  A:   We remain committed to returning our U.S. Innerwear business to more consistent long‐term growth.  We’re pleased  with Innerwear’s second quarter performance, which improved sequentially and was in‐line with our guidance.  We  see a number of underlying positives within our Innerwear business.  In Basics, our price increases are in place.  We  gained shelf space this year.  Our innovations continue to perform well in the market.  In the Fall, we’re extending our  successful Comfort Flex Fit innovation into women’s underwear and in Men’s Underwear and Socks, we’re launching  our enhanced X‐Temp, which provides improved cooling, evaporation and wicking performance as compared to our  original X‐Temp offering.           With respect to our U.S. Intimates business, we continue to execute our multi‐year revitalization plan that is designed  to grow revenue and improve margins.  We are increasing our investments in brand support this year, with increased  media behind our Bali brand as well as increased digital media investments to support our millennial‐focused  Maidenform brand.  We are also launching additional innovations this year.  This Fall, we’re expanding our successful  Cool Comfort innovation to all Maidenform shapewear products.  Within our bra business, we recently launched two  new innovations, both of which are performing above our initial expectations driven by strong consumer response.   Our DreamWire innovation, which was launched in our Hanes and Maidenform brands, eliminates the discomfort of  an underwire without sacrificing support.  Our EasyLight innovation, which is a lighter‐weight bra designed to act and  feel like a second skin, is expanding distribution in our Bali brand this quarter with planned launches in Fall 2019 and  Spring 2020 under our Hanes and Maidenform brands, respectively.  We are also progressing as planned on lowering  our overhead and streamlining our Intimates manufacturing network, which should improve margins and speed‐to‐ market over the next two years.  While we are seeing signs of progress from our revitalization efforts, and we believe  we are taking the right actions to return this business to more consistent long‐term growth, we remain cautious in the  near‐term as it relates to the impact from door closings and bankruptcies.          (7)    Q:   Could you provide any insights with respect to the progression from your 2019 guidance to the long‐term cash flow                   scenarios you provided at your May 2018 Investor Day?  A:   At our 2018 Investor Day, we highlighted two ‘de‐risked’ scenarios – (a)‘base plan’ and (b) ‘base plan with  acquisitions’ – to highlight what we believed our business model could generate in terms of operating profit and cash  flow over the next several years.  Under the ‘base plan’ scenario, beginning with $596 million (midpoint of our 2019  GAAP Net Income guidance), add the after‐tax impact from the following: (1) approximately $55 million of  acquisition, integration and other charges; (2) approximately $40 million of profit from the expected savings from our  supply chain actions; and, (3) approximately $25 million of profit from organic growth, margin expansion, and the  early 2020 wrap from Innerwear’s 2019 price increases.  Then add approximately $170 million of non‐cash items.  This  would generate annual cash flow from operations approaching $900 million in 2020.  Adding the contributions from  acquisitions (under the ‘base plan with acquisitions’ scenario) would result in $1 billion in annual cash flow from  operations in 2020.         (8)    Q:   What is your long‐term capital allocation strategy and what are your priorities for 2019?   A:   Our long‐term capital allocation strategy is to effectively deploy our significant, consistent cash flow to generate the  best long‐term returns for our shareholders.  Over time, our goal is for our leverage ratio of net debt‐to‐adjusted  EBITDA to be in a range of 2 to 3 times.  Our strategy is to use our cash flow from operations to first fund capital  investments and our dividend.  When we are within our targeted leverage range, we intend to use debt for  acquisitions and use excess free cash flow, which is defined as cash from operations less capital expenditures and  dividends, to repurchase stock.  When we are outside of our targeted leverage range, we plan to use excess free cash  flow to pay down debt.  Our leverage ratio at the end of the second quarter 2019 was 3.5 times net debt‐to‐adjusted  EBITDA as compared to 3.9 times at the end of the second quarter 2018.        4

         For 2019, given our leverage is currently outside of our long‐term range, our plan is to use all excess free cash flow to  pay down debt, which we began to do in the third quarter of 2018.  Based on our 2019 guidance, we expect our  leverage ratio to be approximately 2.9 times on a net debt‐to‐adjusted EBITDA basis by the end of 2019.          (9)  Q:   Do you believe your business model can continue to deliver long‐term double‐digit total shareholder returns?  A:   Yes.  We continue to diversify our business model to be in a position to provide more consistent organic revenue  growth and optimize our strong cash flow.  Over the past several years, we have significantly diversified our business  model by investing in our core brands, investing in our online operations, and investing in international expansion to  provide us with multiple paths for delivering growth and long‐term shareholder returns.  We believe we have  diversified in a way that the combination of our organic and acquisition strategies provides us the ability to deliver  revenue and EPS growth regardless of short‐term challenges.  And when you layer on the returns from deploying our  significant levels of cash flow, we believe we are well positioned for long‐term double‐digit total shareholder returns.      (10)  Q:  How does a change in currency exchange rates impact your financial results?  A:   Changes in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and other currencies can impact our financial results in two  ways; a translation impact and a transaction impact.  The translation impact refers to the impact that changes in  exchange rates can have on our published financial results.  Similar to many multi‐national corporations that  publish financial results in U.S. Dollars, our revenue and profit earned in local foreign currencies is translated back  into U.S. Dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period.  A period of strengthening in the  U.S. Dollar results in a negative impact to our published financial results (because it would take more units of a  local currency to convert into a dollar).  The opposite is true during a period of weakening in the U.S. Dollar.  The  transaction impact on financial results is common for apparel companies that source goods because these goods  are purchased in U.S. Dollars.  The transaction impact from a strengthening dollar would be negative to our  financial results (because the U.S. Dollar‐based costs would convert into a higher amount of local currency units,  which means a higher local‐currency cost of goods, and in turn, a lower local‐currency gross profit).  The  transaction impact  from exchange rates is typically recovered over time with price increases.  However, during  periods of rapid change in exchange rates, pricing is unable to change quickly enough.  In these situations, it could  make sense to hedge the exchange rate exposure in sourcing costs.        ***For prior FAQs please see our prior Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including our Current Reports on  Form 8‐K.***    # # #  Charges for Actions and Reconciliation to GAAP Measures  To supplement our financial guidance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we provide  quarterly and full‐year results and guidance concerning certain non‐GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EPS,  adjusted net income, adjusted operating profit (and margin), adjusted SG&A, adjusted gross profit (and margin), EBITDA,  adjusted EBITDA and net debt.      Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. Adjusted net income is defined as  net income excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit  excluding actions. Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding actions. Adjusted SG&A is defined as selling,  general and administrative expenses excluding actions.    Charges for actions taken in 2018 primarily represent: acquisition and integration costs related to Hanes Europe  Innerwear, Hanes Australasia, Champion Europe, Alternative Apparel and Bras N Things, and other costs related to    5

integration of recently acquired businesses. While these costs are not operational in nature and are not expected to  continue for any singular transaction on an ongoing basis, similar types of costs, expenses and charges have occurred in  prior periods and may recur in future periods depending upon acquisition activity.    We have chosen to present these non‐GAAP measures to investors to enable additional analyses of past, present and  future operating performance and as a supplemental means of evaluating operations absent the effect of acquisitions  and other actions. We believe these non‐GAAP measures provide management and investors with valuable  supplemental information for analyzing the operating performance of the Company’s ongoing business during each  period presented without giving effect to costs associated with the execution and integration of any of the  aforementioned actions taken.    In addition to these non‐GAAP measures, we have chosen to present EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of net debt  to adjusted EBITDA to investors because we consider these measures to be an important supplemental means of  evaluating operating performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding actions and stock compensation expense. Net debt is defined as total  debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe that these metrics are frequently used by securities analysts, investors  and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry, and management uses the ratio of net debt  to adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes in connection with setting our capital allocation strategy. These metrics  should not, however, be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.    We are a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. As a supplement to  our reported operating results, we also present constant currency financial information, which is a non‐GAAP financial  measure that excludes the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We use constant currency  information to provide a framework to assess how the business performed excluding the effects of changes in the rates  used to calculate foreign currency translation. We believe this information is useful to management and investors to  facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in our businesses.  To calculate foreign currency  translation 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).    Non‐GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as an  alternative to, or substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non‐GAAP measures  presented may be different from non‐GAAP measures with similar or identical names presented by other companies.   See our press release dated August 1, 2019 to reconcile quarterly and full‐year non‐GAAP performance measures to the  most directly comparable GAAP measure.  A copy of the press release is available at www.Hanes.com/investors.    Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward‐Looking Statements  These FAQs certain “forward‐looking statements,” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws, with respect to our long‐
