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 financial statements include the accounts of Warnaco Group and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest represents minority shareholders’ proportionate share of the equity in the Company’s consolidated subsidiary WBR Industria e Comercio de Vestuario S.A. 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 the annual period ended January 3, 2009 (“Fiscal 2008”). The year end condensed consolidated 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 January 4, 2009 to January 2, 2010 (“Fiscal 2009”) will contain 52 weeks of operations, while the period from December 30, 2007 to January 3, 2009 (“Fiscal 2008”) contained 53 weeks of operations. Additionally, the period from April 5, 2009 to July 4, 2009 (the “Three Months Ended July 4, 2009”) and the period from April 6, 2008 to July 5, 2008 (the “Three Months Ended July 5, 2008”) each contained thirteen weeks of operations. The period from January 4, 2009 to July 4, 2009 (the “Six Months Ended July 4, 2009”) and the period from December 30, 2007 to July 5, 2008 (the “Six Months Ended July 5, 2008”) contained twenty-six weeks and twenty-seven weeks of operations, respectively.
Reclassifications: Prior period items on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to give effect to the Company’s discontinued operations. In addition, certain prior period items on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets have been reclassified to give effect to the adoption of SFAS 160 (as defined below) on January 4, 2009. Basic and diluted earnings per share data have also been recalculated in accordance with the adoption of FSP EITF 03-06-1 (see below) on January 4, 2009.

Stock-Based Compensation: 601,350 and 613,850 stock options were granted during the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, respectively, and 417,400 stock options were granted during the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008. The fair values of stock options granted during the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 and the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    July 4, 2009     July 5, 2008     July 4, 2009     July 5, 2008  
 
                               
Weighted average risk free rate of return (a)
    1.83 %     3.21 %     1.84 %     3.21 %

Expected volatility of the market price of the Company’s common stock
    59.3 %     36.1 %     59.3 %     36.1 %
Expected option life
  3.72 years     6 years     3.72 years     6 years  
     
(a)   Based on the quoted yield for U.S. five-year treasury bonds as of the date of grant.
 
(b)   The terms of the Company’s New Credit Agreements and the terms of the indenture governing its Senior Notes (each as defined below) limit the Company’s ability to make certain payments, including dividends, and require the Company to meet certain financial covenants. The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock in any of the last four fiscal years.
Beginning with the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company had accumulated sufficient historical data regarding stock option exercises and forfeitures to be able to rely on that data for the calculation of expected option life. Expected option life is an assumption that is used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which the Company uses to obtain a fair value of stock options granted. Accordingly, for options granted during the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company revised its method of calculating expected option life from the simplified method as described in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (which yielded an expected term of 6 years) to the use of historical data (which yielded an expected life of 3.72 years). Historical data will be used for stock options granted in all future periods.
A summary of stock-based compensation expense is as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”) which replaces SFAS No.141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) retains the underlying concepts of SFAS 141 in that all business combinations are required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting but SFAS 141(R) changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. For example, (a) consideration paid in the form of equity securities will be measured on the closing date of the acquisition rather than on the announcement date, which introduces volatility in estimating the final acquisition price, (b) contingent consideration will be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date regardless of the likelihood of payment rather than when the contingency is resolved, which increases the initial purchase price and may give rise to more goodwill and (c) transaction costs will be expensed as incurred rather than added to the purchase price and allocated to net assets acquired, which decreases the initial purchase price and the amount of goodwill and reduces the acquirer’s earnings before and after the close of the transaction. SFAS 141(R) was effective for the Company from January 4, 2009 on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date was on or after that date, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS 109 such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and to acquired tax contingencies, such as uncertain tax positions under FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS 141(R), so that such adjustments will be recognized in earnings rather than as an adjustment to goodwill. The Company expects that in the event it enters into a business combination or adjusts its valuation allowances subsequent to January 4, 2009, SFAS 141(R) may have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 Consolidated Financial Statements (“ARB 51”) to establish new standards that will govern the accounting for and reporting of (1) noncontrolling interest in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and (2) the loss of control of subsidiaries. Significant changes to accounting for noncontrolling interests include (a) the inclusion of noncontrolling interests in the equity section of the controlling entity’s consolidated balance sheet rather than in the mezzanine section and (b) changes in the controlling entity’s interest in the noncontrolling interest, without a change in control, are recognized in the controlling entity’s equity rather than being accounted for by the purchase method, which would have given rise to goodwill. SFAS 160 was effective for the Company from January 4, 2009 on a prospective basis for all fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which are applied retrospectively. The Company changed the presentation of noncontrolling interest (formerly called minority interests) in its Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for all periods presented. Although the adoption of SFAS 160 affects certain performance and equity ratios, the Company does not expect that there will be a material effect on its ability to comply with the financial covenants contained in its debt covenant agreements.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) on December 30, 2007 for recurring financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements and on January 4, 2009 for non-recurring financial assets and liabilities and for all other non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is applicable whenever another accounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 does not expand or require any new fair value measures. However the application of this statement may change current practice. Beginning in Fiscal 2009, the full adoption of SFAS 157 includes application to financial assets and liabilities, primarily the Company’s derivative contracts, as well as non-financial assets and liabilities, such as assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination or impairment testing of long-lived assets. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). The new standard requires additional disclosures regarding a company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also requires disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related as well as cross-referencing within the notes to the financial statements to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year and interim periods within such year, beginning January 4, 2009. The Company has presented the expanded disclosures in Note 11 of Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Foreign Exchange Risk.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No.142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). In particular, an entity will use its own assumptions based on its historical experience about renewal or extension of an arrangement even when there is likely to be substantial cost or material modification. In the absence of historical experience, an entity will use the assumptions that market participants would use (consistent with the highest and best use of the asset). FSP 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other GAAP. FSP 142-3 was effective for the Company’s financial statements issued for fiscal years from January 4, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company’s adoption of FSP 142-3 did not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-06-1”), which clarifies that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are required to be included in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method as described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. FSP EITF 03-06-1 was effective for the Company’s financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning January 4, 2009, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period earnings per share data presented are required to be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform with its provisions. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-06-1 by the Company did not have a material effect on the calculation of either basic or diluted earnings per share for any period presented, although shares of restricted stock, which are deemed to be participating securities, were included in those calculations for all periods presented.
On December 30, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (“FSP FAS 132R-1”). FSP FAS 132R-1 contains amendments to FASB Statement No. 132(R), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (SFAS 132(R)), that are intended to enhance the transparency surrounding the types of assets and associated risks in an employer’s defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP FAS 132R-1 expands the disclosures set forth in FAS 132(R) by adding required disclosures about: (1) how investment allocation decisions are made by management, (2) major categories of plan assets, and (3) significant concentrations of risk. Additionally, FSP FAS 132R-1 requires an employer to disclose information about the valuation of plan assets similar to that required under SFAS 157. Those disclosures include: (1) the level within the fair value hierarchy in which fair value measurements of plan assets fall, (2) information about the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, and (3) a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of plan assets valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 under SFAS 157). The new disclosures are required to be included in financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company will provide the enhanced disclosures required by FSP FAS 132R-1in its Form 10-K for the year ending January 2, 2010 (Fiscal 2009).
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP FAS 107-1 and FSP APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and FSP APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value and the related carrying amount of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements and amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and FSP APB 28-1 also requires disclosure about the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. FAS FSP 107-1 and FSP APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Disclosures are required only on a prospective basis. The Company adopted FAS FSP 107-1 and FSP APB 28-1 for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 and has presented the required disclosures in Notes 10 and 11 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly (“FSP FAS 157-4”), which confirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, in the inactive market). FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidance for identifying inactive markets and transactions that are not orderly and for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in FAS 157 in those circumstances. If a reporting entity determines that the market for the asset is not active, further analysis of the transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with SFAS 157. The use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate (for example, the use of a market approach and a present value technique). When weighting indications of fair value resulting from the use of multiple valuation techniques, a reporting entity shall consider the reasonableness of the range of fair value estimates. The objective is to determine the point within that range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions. A wide range of fair value estimates may be an indication that further analysis is needed. An entity is required to disclose the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value, any change in valuation technique (and the related inputs) resulting from the application of FSP FAS 157-4 and to quantify its effects, if practicable. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for the Company, on a prospective basis only, for interim and annual periods beginning with the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 by the Company did not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (“FSP FAS 141R-1”), which amends certain provisions of SFAS 141(R), including the elimination of the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, related to initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP FAS 141R-1 revises the guidance in SFAS 141(R) to require that an asset or liability arising from a contingency that would be within the scope of SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, be recognized at the acquisition date at fair value if fair value can be reasonably determined during the measurement period. FSP FAS 141R-1 provides guidance for assessing when fair value can be reasonably determined. If those conditions are not met, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are not recognized at the acquisition date. In subsequent periods, those assets and liabilities are accounted for under SFAS 5 or other applicable GAAP. Accounting for contingent consideration arrangements remains unchanged from SFAS 141(R). FSP FAS 141R-1 was effective for the Company for business combinations for which the acquisition date was on or after January 4, 2009. If it enters into a business combination, the Company will assess the impact of FSP FAS 141R-1 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Public companies are required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that financial statements are issued. SFAS 165 requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has made the required disclosure in Note 21 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS 168”), which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States. SFAS 168, thus, establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by those entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The SEC Sections in the Codification are not the authoritative sources of such content and do not contain the entire population of SEC rules, regulations, interpretive releases, and staff guidance. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority.

Information about Major Customers: For the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009, one customer accounted for approximately 10% of the Company’s net revenues. For the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 and the Three and Six Months Ended July 5, 2008, no one customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues.
Note 7—Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 and July 5, 2008 were 40.6% and 39.1% respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 primarily relates to a non-cash tax charge in the U.S., recorded during the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009, of approximately $2,500 in order to correct an error in the 2006 income tax provision related to the recapture of cancellation of indebtedness income in connection with the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings in 2003 (see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2008). In addition, there was a shift in earnings from lower to higher tax jurisdictions included in the effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009.
In addition to increasing the Company’s provision for income taxes for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 by $2,500 (as discussed above), the Company corrected certain of its assets recorded in fresh start accounting resulting in a total reduction of $11,913 in non-current deferred tax assets (part of the “Other assets” line item on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet), an increase of $7,342 in Licenses, trademarks and other intangible assets, a reduction of $1,700 in Retained earnings related to the correction of the adjustment to initially adopt FIN 48 and a $371 charge to income (loss) from discontinued operations. The errors were non-cash in nature and did not affect cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities in the current or any prior period. The Company determined that the errors were not material to the current or any previously issued financial statements.
The effective tax rates for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 and July 5, 2008 were 36.5% and 60.5% respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 primarily relates to a non-cash tax charge of approximately $19,000 associated with the repatriation of the Lejaby sale proceeds (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2008) recorded during the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008, partially offset, during the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, by the effect of a shift in earnings from lower to higher tax jurisdictions and a non-cash tax charge of approximately $2,500 in the U.S. associated with the correction of an error in the 2006 income tax provision related to the recapture of cancellation of indebtedness income in connection with the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings in 2003.
The Company applies the provisions of FIN 48 to determine whether tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions may be recognized in the financial statements. During the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 the Company has not had a significant change to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits with the exception of a reduction in non-current deferred tax assets of $6,400 which amount included the effect of the error corrections discussed above. Additionally, the Company believes that its accruals for uncertain tax positions are adequate and that the ultimate resolution of these uncertainties will not have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or statement of cash flows.
While the Company remains under audit in various taxing jurisdictions, it is 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 amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase between $3,000 and $6,000 (net of potential decreases), as a result of additional uncertain tax positions, 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 will not earn any additional pension benefits after December 31, 2002. The Company also sponsors a defined benefit plan for certain of its United Kingdom employees (the “U.K. Plan”). These pension plans are noncontributory and benefits are based upon years of service. The Company also has defined benefit health care and life insurance plans that provide post-retirement benefits to retired domestic employees (the “Postretirement Plans”). The Postretirement Plans are, in most cases, contributory with retiree contributions adjusted annually.

(Unaudited)
The Company follows SFAS No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions (“SFAS 87”) and SFAS No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Pensions, in regard to accounting for the Pension Plan. The U.K. Plan was not considered to be material for any period presented. Pursuant to SFAS 87, each quarter the Company recognizes interest cost of the Plan’s projected benefit obligation offset by the expected return on Pension Plan assets. The Company records pension expense 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 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 statement of operations in each period.
The fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets fluctuates with market conditions and is subject to uncertainties that are difficult to predict. During the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, the actual rate of return on the Pension Plan’s assets has been a gain of approximately 2.7%. However, based upon historical results, the Company has been using an assumed rate of return of 8% (gain) per year on Pension Plan assets to estimate pension income/expense on an interim basis.
The fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets, before contributions, was approximately $97,900 at July 4, 2009 compared to $100,587 at January 3, 2009. The fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets reflects a $1,400 decline from their assumed value of approximately $99,300, net of benefits paid but before contributions, at July 4, 2009.
The Company will record any changes in the fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets as Pension Plan income/expense in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009. Assuming that the fair value of the investment portfolio does not recover from its value at July 4, 2009, in light of the actual 2.7% increase in the fair value of the Company’s pension plan investment portfolio to $97,900 at July 4, 2009, the Company could recognize an additional $1,400 of pension expense for the year ending January 2, 2010. The Company’s pension income/expense is also affected by the discount rate used to calculate Pension Plan liabilities, Pension Plan amendments, Pension Plan benefit experience compared to assumed experience and other factors. These factors could increase or decrease the amount of pension income/expense ultimately recorded by the Company for Fiscal 2009.
During the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company made contributions of $9,500 to the Pension Plan, which increased the fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets, net of benefits paid, to approximately $107,400 at July 4, 2009. The Company’s contributions to the Pension Plan are expected to be $11,400 in total for Fiscal 2009.

(a)   The foreign currency translation adjustments reflect the change in the U.S. dollar relative to functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations. The decrease of $73,398 in foreign currency translation adjustments at July 4, 2009 compared to July 5, 2008 reflects the decline in the strength of certain foreign currencies (principally the Euro, Canadian Dollar, Korean Won and Mexican Peso) relative to the U.S. dollar coupled with the fact that more than 65% of the Company’s assets are based outside of the U.S.
Note 10—Fair Value Measurement
The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for financial assets and liabilities, which primarily relate to derivative contracts. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. SFAS 157 includes 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 interest rate swaps was estimated based on the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the swaps on the valuation date. Those amounts are based on receipt of interest at a fixed interest rate of 87/8% and a payment of a variable rate based on a fixed interest rate above the six month LIBOR rate. As such, the fair value of the interest rate swaps is classified as level 2, as defined above.
The fair value of foreign currency exchange 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 date and (ii) the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current forward exchange rate. The fair value of these foreign currency exchange contracts is based on exchange-quoted prices that are adjusted based on a forward yield curve and, therefore, meets the definition of level 2 fair value, as defined above.

(a)   The interest rate swap was called by the issuer on July 15, 2009. The Company received a debt premium of $1,479, which will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense through June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature). See Note 14 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Note 11— Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.
Accounts Receivable: The carrying amount of the Company’s accounts receivable approximates fair value.
Accounts Payable: The carrying amount of the Company’s accounts payable is approximately equal to their fair value because accounts payable are short-term in nature and the carrying value is equal to the settlement value.
Short-term Revolving Credit Facilities: The carrying amount of the New Credit Agreements, CKJEA revolving credit facilities and other short term debt is approximately equal to their fair value because of their short-term nature and because amounts outstanding bear interest at variable rates which fluctuate with market rates.
Senior Notes: The Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2013 and bear interest at 87/8% payable semi-annually beginning December 15, 2003. The fair value of the Senior Notes is based upon quoted market prices for the Senior Notes.
Interest Rate Swaps: The fair value of the outstanding interest rate swaps is based upon the cost to terminate the contracts.
Letters of Credit: Letters of credit collateralize the Company’s obligations to third parties and have terms ranging from 30 days to one year. The face amounts of the letters of credit are a reasonable estimate of the fair value since the value for each is fixed over its relatively short maturity.
Foreign Currency Exchange Forward Contracts: The fair value of the outstanding foreign currency exchange forward contracts is based upon the cost to terminate the contracts.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk related to U.S. dollar-denominated purchases or sales of inventory, payment of minimum royalty and advertising costs and intercompany loans and payables by subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the Euro, Canadian Dollar, Korean Won, Mexican Peso or British Pound. The Company or its foreign subsidiaries enter into foreign exchange forward contracts, including zero-cost collar option contracts, to offset certain of its foreign exchange risk. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
The Company also utilizes interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the interest obligation related to its long-term debt from a fixed rate to floating rates. See Note 14. A number of international financial institutions are counterparties to the Company’s outstanding letters of credit, interest rate swap agreements, zero cost collars and foreign exchange contracts. The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, these counterparty financial institutions and does not anticipate nonperformance by these counterparties. Management believes that the Company would not suffer a material loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties.
During the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, one of the Company’s European subsidiaries and one of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries entered into foreign exchange forward contracts which were designed to satisfy certain U.S. dollar denominated purchases of inventory. As of July 4, 2009, the Company’s Korean and European subsidiaries also continued their hedging programs from Fiscal 2008 with foreign exchange forward contracts which were designed to satisfy the first 50% of U.S. dollar denominated purchases of inventory over an 18-month period, or payment of 100% of the minimum royalty and advertising expenses, respectively. All of the foregoing forward contracts were designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS 133.
During the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, Warnaco Inc. entered into foreign currency forward contracts on behalf of one of its Mexican subsidiaries. In addition, as of July 4, 2009, the hedging programs also continued from Fiscal 2008 in which Warnaco Inc. has entered into foreign currency exchange contracts, including, zero-cost collars, on behalf of certain of its European, Korean and Canadian subsidiaries. These forward contracts were designed to fix the number of euros, Korean won, Canadian dollars or Mexican pesos required to satisfy (i) the first 50% of U.S. dollar denominated purchases of inventory over an 18-month period; (ii) 50% of intercompany sales to a British subsidiary or (iii) U.S. dollar denominated intercompany loans and payables. All of these foregoing foreign exchange contracts were accounted for as economic hedges, not subject to SFAS 133. In addition, one European subsidiary continued its hedging program of forward contracts related to purchases of inventory, which did not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133 and was accounted for as an economic hedge. See also Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Foreign Exchange Risk in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details. The Company also entered into interest rate swaps, which were designated as fair value hedges under SFAS 133, related to its long-term debt. See Note 14 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

During the twelve months following July 4, 2009, the net amount of losses that were reported in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) at that date that are estimated to be amortized into earnings is $885. During the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, no amount of gains or losses was reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because it was probable that the original forecasted transactions will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter.
A reconciliation of the balance of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income during the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 related to cash flow hedges of foreign exchange forward contracts is as follows:

The Company reviews its intangible assets and goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any of those assets may not be recoverable. Such events may include, among others, (a) a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate; (b) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (c) unanticipated competition; (d) a loss of key personnel; (e) a more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit, or a significant part of a reporting unit, will be sold or disposed of; (f) the determination of a lack of recoverability of a significant “asset group” within a reporting unit; (g) reporting a goodwill impairment loss by a subsidiary that is a component of a reporting unit; and (h) a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price.
During the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company considered the potential of an impairment in its goodwill or intangible assets, consisting of licenses and trademarks primarily for its Calvin Klein products, by reviewing these factors. The Company concluded that there were no triggering events or changes in circumstances since the end of Fiscal 2008 which would require the Company to conduct an impairment evaluation of either goodwill or intangible assets.

Senior Notes
During March 2008, the Company purchased $44,110 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 87/8% Senior Notes due 2013 (“Senior Notes”) for a total consideration of $46,185 in the open market. In connection with the purchase, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $3,160, which included the write-off of approximately $1,085 of deferred financing costs. The loss on the repurchase is included in the other loss (income) line item in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Senior Notes was $160,890 as of July 4, 2009, January 3, 2009 and July 5, 2008.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements on September 18, 2003 (the “2003 Swap Agreement”) and November 5, 2004 (the “2004 Swap Agreement”). The 2003 Swap Agreement provided that the Company would receive interest at 87/8% and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six month LIBOR plus 4.11% (5.33% at July 4, 2009). The 2004 Swap Agreement provided that the Company would receive interest of 87/8% and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six months LIBOR plus 4.34%. In June 2009, the 2004 Swap Agreement was called by the issuer and the Company received a debt premium of $740, which is being amortized as a reduction to interest expense through June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature). On July 15, 2009, the 2003 Swap Agreement was called by the issuer and the Company received a debt premium of $1,479, which will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense through June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature). As a result of the 2003 Swap Agreement and the 2004 Swap Agreement, the weighted average effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was 7.77% as of July 4, 2009, 7.77% as of January 3, 2009 and 8.15% as of July 5, 2008.

The fair value of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements reflect the termination premium (unrealized loss) or termination discount (unrealized gain) that the Company would realize if such swaps were terminated on the valuation date. Since the provisions of the Company’s 2003 Swap Agreement and 2004 Swap Agreement match the provisions of the Company’s outstanding Senior Notes (the “Hedged Debt”), changes in the fair value of the outstanding swaps do not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations but are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included in other assets with a corresponding increase in the Hedged Debt. Unrealized losses on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included as a component of long-term debt with a corresponding decrease in the Hedged Debt. The table below summarizes the unrealized gain (loss) of the Company’s outstanding swap agreements:

New Credit Agreements
On August 26, 2008, Warnaco, as borrower, and Warnaco Group, as guarantor, entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) and Warnaco of Canada Company (“Warnaco Canada”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Warnaco Group, as borrower, and Warnaco Group, as guarantor, entered into a second revolving credit agreement (the “New Canadian Credit Agreement” and, together with the New Credit Agreement, the “New Credit Agreements”), in each case with the financial institutions which, from time to time, will act as lenders and issuers of letters of credit.
The New Credit Agreement provides for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility under which up to $270,000 initially will be available. In addition, during the term of the New Credit Agreement, Warnaco may make up to three requests for additional credit commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200,000. The New Canadian Credit Agreement provides for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount up to U.S. $30,000. The New Credit Agreements mature on August 26, 2013.
The New Credit Agreement has interest rate options that are based on (i) a Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 0.75% (4.00% at July 4, 2009) or (ii) a LIBOR (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% (2.31% at July 4, 2009) in each case, on a per annum basis. The interest rate payable on outstanding borrowing is subject to adjustments based on changes in the Company’s leverage ratio. The New Canadian Credit Agreement has interest rate options that are based on (i) the prime rate announced by Bank of America (acting through its Canada branch) plus 0.75% (3.00% at July 4, 2009), or (ii) a BA Rate (as defined in the New Canadian Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% (2.06% at July 4, 2009), in each case, on a per annum basis and subject to adjustments based on changes in the Company’s leverage ratio. 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 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.
As of July 4, 2009, the Company had approximately $69 in loans and approximately $62,102 in letters of credit outstanding under the New Credit Agreement, leaving approximately $186,228 of availability (including $42,017 of available cash) under the New Credit Agreement. As of July 4, 2009, there was $8,605 in loans and no letters of credit outstanding under the New Canadian Credit Agreement and the available line of credit was approximately $17,942. As of July 4, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the New Credit Agreements.
Revolving Credit Facility; Amended and Restated New Credit Agreement and Foreign Revolving Credit Facility
On August 26, 2008, the Company terminated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including the Term B Note, in connection with the closing of the New Credit Agreements (see above). In addition, during the third quarter of Fiscal 2008, the Company terminated the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility under which no amounts were outstanding. All guarantees, mortgages, liens and security interests related to both of those agreements were terminated at that time.
Euro-Denominated CKJEA Notes Payable and Other
The total CKJEA notes payable of $48,402 at July 4, 2009 consists of short-term revolving notes with a number of banks at various interest rates (primarily Euro LIBOR plus 1.0%). The weighted average effective interest rate for the outstanding CKJEA notes payable was 2.39% as of July 4, 2009, 4.50% as of January 3, 2009 and 5.67% as of July 5, 2008. All of the CKJEA notes payable are short-term and were renewed during the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 for additional terms of no more than 12 months. In addition, one of the Company’s Korean subsidiaries had an outstanding note payable of $1,568 with an interest rate of 4.7% per annum and $3,785 with an interest rate of 8.84% per annum at July 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009, respectively.

The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted income per common share attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders in accordance with FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2009 (See Note 2 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). 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 shares outstanding were 526,413 and 532,760 for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 and the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008, respectively, and 511,771 and 586,455, for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 and the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008, respectively. Undistributed income allocated to participating securities is based on the proportion of restricted shares outstanding to the sum of weighted average number of common shares outstanding attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders and restricted stock outstanding for each period presented.

Note 18—Legal Matters
SEC Inquiry: As disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2008, the Company announced, on August 8, 2006, that it would restate its previously reported financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2005, fiscal 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. The restatements were required as a result of certain irregularities discovered by the Company during the Company’s 2006 second quarter closing review and certain other errors. The irregularities primarily related to the accounting for certain returns and customer allowances at the Company’s Chaps menswear division. These matters were reported to the Company’s Audit Committee, which engaged outside counsel, who in turn retained independent forensic accountants, to investigate and report to the Audit Committee. Based on information obtained in that investigation, and also to correct for an error which resulted from the implementation of the Company’s new systems infrastructure at its Swimwear Group during the first quarter of 2006, and certain immaterial errors, the Audit Committee accepted management’s recommendation that the Company restate its financial statements.

In connection with the restatements, the Company contacted the SEC staff to inform them of the restatements and the Company’s related investigation. Thereafter, the SEC staff initiated an informal inquiry, and on February 22, 2008, informed the Company that in September 2007 the SEC had issued a formal order of investigation, with respect to these matters. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC.
OP Litigation: On August 19, 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Ocean Pacific Apparel Corp. (“OP”). The terms of the acquisition agreement required the Company to make certain contingent payments to the sellers (the “Sellers”) under certain circumstances. On November 6, 2006, the Company sold the OP business. The Sellers of OP have filed an action against the Company 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 Company believes that the Sellers’ lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. The Company believes that it is adequately reserved for any potential settlements.
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.

As of July 4, 2009, the Company was also party to outstanding hedging instruments (see Note 11 of Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Item 3 — Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk -Foreign Exchange Risk).
As of July 4, 2009, the Company remains under audit in various taxing jurisdictions, although it is 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 amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase between $3,000 and $6,000 (net of potential decreases), as a result of additional uncertain tax positions, 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 21 — Subsequent Event
The Company evaluated subsequent events through August 12, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued. On July 15, 2009, the Company’s 2004 interest rate swap was called by the issuer. See Note 14 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

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. Except for the historical information contained herein, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the following discussion, 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 3, 2009 (“Fiscal 2008”).
The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year basis ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. As such, the period January 4, 2009 to January 2, 2010 (“Fiscal 2009”) will contain 52 weeks of operations, while the period from December 30, 2007 to January 3, 2009 (“Fiscal 2008”) contained 53 weeks of operations. Additionally, the period from April 5, 2009 to July 4, 2009 (the “Three Months Ended July 4, 2009”) and the period from April 6, 2008 to July 5, 2008 (the “Three Months Ended July 5, 2008”) each contained thirteen weeks of operations. The period from January 4, 2009 to July 4, 2009 (the “Six Months Ended July 4, 2009”) and the period from December 30, 2007 to July 5, 2008 (the “Six Months Ended July 5, 2008”) contained twenty-six weeks and twenty-seven weeks of operations, respectively.
References to “Calvin Klein Jeans” refer to jeans, accessories and “bridge” products. “Core Intimates” refer to the Intimate Apparel Group’s Warner’s®, Olga® and Body 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.
Overview
The Company designs, sources, markets, licenses and distributes intimate apparel, sportswear and swimwear worldwide through a line of 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 and other stores, mass merchandisers and the internet. As of July 4, 2009, the Company operated: (i) 1,003 Calvin Klein retail stores worldwide (consisting of 200 free-standing stores (including 109 full price and 91outlet stores), 801 shop-in-shop/concession stores, one Calvin Klein Underwear on-line store and one Calvin Klein Jeans on-line store); and (ii) one Speedo® on-line store. As of July 4, 2009, there were also 609 Calvin Klein retail stores operated by third parties under retail licenses or distributor agreements.
Highlights for the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 included:
    Net revenue decreased $47.4 million, or 9.4%, to $455.9 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 and decreased $76.6 million, or 7.2%, to $994.3 million for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, reflecting decreases of $25.9 million, and $45.8 million, respectively, in the Sportswear Group, $14.1 million and $18.8 million, respectively, in the Intimate Apparel Group and $7.4 and $12.0 million, respectively, in the Swimwear Group. The decline in net revenues was primarily related to the unfavorable effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates (see below). In addition, the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 benefitted from one additional week of operating activity as the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 contained twenty-six weeks of operations while the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 contained twenty-seven weeks of operations. Net revenues related to the extra week of operations during the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 were approximately $23.0 million. Net revenues from comparable store sales increased 1% and 3% for the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, respectively. Net revenues were favorably affected by the Company’s use of its diversified channels of distribution which helped it to mitigate the effects of the challenging global economy.
    Operating income decreased $8.2 million, or 16.8%, to $40.7 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 from $48.9 million for the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008 and increased $0.2 million, or 0.2%, to $104.8 million for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 from $104.6 million for the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008. For the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, fluctuations in foreign currency adversely affected operating income (see below). Operating income includes restructuring charges of $1.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively, for the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009. Operating income for the Three and Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 includes restructuring expenses of $6.0 and $26.3 million, respectively, including a charge of $18.5 million (the “Collection License Company Charge”) in the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 recorded in the Sportswear segment related to the transfer of the Collection License Company (see Note 3 to Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) to Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (“PVH”).

    Both net revenues and operating income for the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 were negatively affected by fluctuations in foreign currencies. On average, for the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to the Three and Six Months Ended July 5, 2008, the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to the functional currencies of countries where the Company conducts certain of its operations overseas (primarily the Euro, Korean Won, Canadian Dollar and Mexican Peso), as follows: the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to the Euro by 11.9% and 12.6%, the Korean Won by 20.7% and 27.0%, the Canadian Dollar by 12.7% and 16.4% and the Mexican Peso by 22.6% and 23.9%, respectively. Therefore for the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, net revenue includes decreases of $45.0 million and $105.9 million, respectively, and operating income includes decreases of $7.7 million and $24.4 million, respectively, due to fluctuations in foreign currencies (see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk — Foreign Exchange Risk, below).
    Income from continuing operations for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 was $0.40 per diluted share, a 28.6% decrease compared to the $0.56 per diluted share for the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008. Income from continuing operations for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 was $1.23 per diluted share, a 73.2% increase compared to the $0.71 per diluted share for the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008. Included in income from continuing operations for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 are restructuring charges of $7.2 million (net of income tax benefits of $2.8 million), or $0.16 per diluted share. Income from continuing operations for the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 included an estimated tax charge of approximately $19.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, related to the repatriation, to the U.S., of the proceeds received in connection with the sale of the Company’s Lejaby business, net of adjustments for working capital, as well as restructuring charges of $25.1 million (net of income tax benefit of $1.2 million), or $0.54 per diluted share.
    In anticipation of further effects of the economic downturn and in order to align its cost structure to match current economic conditions, the Company continued its workforce reduction, which commenced in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2008. During the first six months of Fiscal 2009, this reduction resulted in the termination of 181 employees (in both the Company’s domestic and foreign operations) at a cost of approximately $6.8 million.
    The Company launched an on-line store for the sale of Calvin Klein Jeans at www.calvinkleinjeans.com.
    Pursuant to its strategy of expanding its operations in South America, on June 10, 2009, the Company paid cash consideration of $2.5 million and acquired businesses relating to distribution and sale at wholesale and retail of jeanswear and underwear products bearing the Calvin Klein trademarks in Chile and Peru, including the transfer and assignment to the Company of the right to operate and conduct business at three retail locations in Chile and one retail location in Peru.
Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. See the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2008 for a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies.
Beginning with the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company had accumulated sufficient historical data regarding stock option exercises and forfeitures to be able to rely on that data for the calculation of expected option life. Expected option life is an assumption that is used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which the Company uses to obtain a fair value of stock options granted. Accordingly, for options granted during the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company revised its method of calculating expected option life from the simplified method as described in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (which yielded an expected term of 6 years) to the use of historical data (which yielded an expected life of 3.72 years). Historical data will be used for stock options granted in all future periods.
Among those estimates and assumptions, the Company reviews its intangible assets and goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any of those assets may not be recoverable. Such events may include, among others, (a) a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate; (b) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (c) unanticipated competition; (d) a loss of key personnel; (e) a more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit, or a significant part of a reporting unit, will be sold or disposed of; (f) the determination of a lack of recoverability of a significant “asset group” within a reporting unit; (g) reporting a goodwill impairment loss by a subsidiary that is a component of a reporting unit; and (h) a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price.

During the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company considered the potential of an impairment in its goodwill or intangible assets, consisting of licenses and trademarks primarily for its Calvin Klein products, by reviewing these factors. The Company concluded that there were no triggering events or changes in circumstances since the end of Fiscal 2008 which would require the Company to conduct an impairment evaluation of either goodwill or intangible assets.

Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
The $47.4 million decrease in consolidated net revenues relates primarily to the unfavorable effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in countries where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the Euro, Korean Won, Canadian Dollar and Mexican Peso). This unfavorable effect resulted in a $45.0 million decrease in net revenues for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to the prior year. The unfavorable effects of fluctuations in foreign currencies on Sportswear, Intimate Apparel and Swimwear Group net revenues were decreases of $26.0 million, $16.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Six Months Ended July 5, 2008
The $76.6 million decrease in consolidated net revenues primarily relates to the unfavorable effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in countries where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the Euro, Korean Won, Canadian Dollar and Mexican Peso). This unfavorable effect resulted in a $105.9 million decrease in net revenues for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to the prior year. The unfavorable effects of fluctuations in foreign currencies on Sportswear, Intimate Apparel and Swimwear Group net revenues were decreases of $60.0 million, $39.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively. The Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 also benefitted from an extra week of operations.

Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
The $24.3 million decrease in Calvin Klein jeans wholesale net revenues reflects decreases of $16.8 million in Europe, $7.7 million in the U.S. and $2.1 million in Canada, partially offset by increases of $2.1 million in Asia and $0.2 million in Mexico, Central and South America. The decrease in Europe primarily reflects the unfavorable effects of foreign currency fluctuations coupled with a decline in sales, partially offset by a decrease in customer allowances. The decrease in the U.S. primarily reflects a decrease in sales to membership clubs (due to shipments which occurred in the first quarter of Fiscal 2009 when comparable sales took place in the second quarter of 2008), a decrease in sales to department stores (primarily related to decreases in the men’s and women’s jeans businesses coupled with an increase in customer allowances, partially offset by an increase in the Petite size jeans business, which launched in the fourth quarter of 2008) and a decrease in sales to specialty stores, partially offset by an increase in sales to the off-price channel of distribution. The decrease in Canada primarily reflects a decline in sales to membership clubs and department stores and the negative effect of foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by an increase in sales to the off-price channel. The increase in Asia primarily reflects an increase in net revenues in local currencies, partially offset by the unfavorable effects of foreign currency fluctuations, primarily in Korea. The increase in net revenues in local currencies relates to the Company’s expansion efforts in this region, particularly in China, including an increase in the number of stores operated by distributors, as well as increased sales in Korea primarily due to the sale of off-season merchandise and increased sales in Australia and New Zealand. The increase in Mexico, Central and South America primarily reflects increased sales in Brazil, partially offset by decreased sales in Mexico in the department store channel, due primarily to a decrease in sales volume and increased customer allowances, and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency fluctuations.
The $0.6 million increase in Chaps net revenues reflects an increase of $1.2 million in Canada, partially offset by decreases in the U.S. and Mexico, Central and South America of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The increase in Chaps net revenues in Canada was due primarily to a increased sales to membership clubs and department stores, partially offset by a decline in sales to the off-price channel. The decrease in Chaps net revenues in the U.S primarily reflects volume decreases in sales to customers in the department store and specialty store distribution channels coupled with an increase in customer allowances, partially offset by increases in sales to the off-price and chain store channels. Decreases in Mexico, Central and South America primarily reflect a decrease in sales to department stores, partially offset by an increase in sales to membership clubs, coupled with an increase in customer allowances.
The $2.1 million decrease in Sportswear retail net revenues primarily reflects a $5.3 million decrease in Asia (primarily related to the unfavorable effects of foreign currency fluctuations, which more than offset increases in new store openings in China and Korea), partially offset by increases of $1.9 million in Europe (primarily related to volume increases in outlet stores and the effect of new store openings, partially offset by the unfavorable effect of foreign currency fluctuations) and $1.2 million in Mexico, Central and South America (reflecting increased sales in Brazil, partially offset by decreased sales in Mexico, which the Company believes was due to the downturn in the economy and an epidemic of influenza, which temporarily caused the closure of retail stores).

The decrease in Europe primarily reflects the unfavorable effects of foreign currency fluctuations coupled with a decline in sales volumes, partially offset by a decrease in customer allowances.

The $2.1 million decrease in Chaps net revenues reflects decreases in the U.S. and Mexico, Central and South America of $1.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in Canada of $0.1 million.

Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
The $14.8 million decrease in Calvin Klein Underwear wholesale net revenues reflects a decrease in the U.S. of $9.9 million, a decrease of $6.1 million in Europe and a decrease of $0.9 million in Mexico, Central and South America, partially offset by increases of $1.4 million in Asia and $0.7 million in Canada. The decrease in the U.S. of the Company’s Calvin Klein Underwear wholesale business primarily related to decreases in sales to membership clubs (due to shipments made in the first quarter of Fiscal 2009 where comparable shipments were made in the second quarter of Fiscal 2008), to decreased sales to department stores, which the Company believes is due to the downturn in the economy, and to decreased sales to the off-price channel of distribution, due to a shift in timing of comparable shipments, which occurred in the first quarter of Fiscal 2009 when comparable shipments occurred in the second quarter of Fiscal 2008. The decrease in Europe primarily relates to the negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations and decreases in sales of both men’s and women’s lines, especially to department stores. The decrease in Mexico, Central and South America reflects a decrease in sales volume coupled with an increase in customer allowances in department stores, partially offset by increases in sales to membership clubs. The increase in Asia is primarily related to the expansion of the Company’s distribution network in China and an increase in shipments to distributors in Japan and Australia. The increase in Canada resulted from an increase in sales to membership clubs and department stores, partially offset by a decline in the mass merchant channel.

The decrease in Mexico, Central and South America primarily reflects a decline in sales volume and an increase in customer allowances in department stores. The increase in the U.S. is primarily related to increased sales of the Company’s Warner’s product to the chain store channel of distribution (JC Penney and Kohl’s) (due to an increase from the introduction of new styles, a new panty program in the second quarter of Fiscal 2009, an overall increase in replenishment orders and the favorable effects of reductions in the level of customer allowances), the introduction of certain Warner’s product in the mass merchant channel in the second quarter of 2009, increased sales of the Olga line (primarily related to strong sales of new styles and a new panty program introduced in the second quarter of 2009 as well as an increase in replenishment orders), partially offset by weak replenishment orders to department stores, which the Company believes is related to the downturn in the economy, and a reduction in private label and off-price businesses.

The decrease in Canada resulted from the unfavorable effect of foreign currency fluctuations and a decline in sales to the mass merchant channel, which more than offset increases in sales to membership clubs and department stores. The increase in the U.S. of the Company’s Calvin Klein Underwear wholesale business primarily related to increases in sales to membership clubs and to stores operated by the licensor of the Calvin Klein brand (due to an increase in new stores opened in the first quarter of Fiscal 2009). Those increases were partially offset by a decrease in sales to department stores. The increase in Asia is primarily related to the expansion of the Company’s distribution network in China and an increase in shipments to distributors in Japan and Australia.
The $9.0 million decrease in Core Intimates net revenues reflects decreases of $2.6 million in the U.S., $4.4 million in Canada, $1.9 million in Mexico, Central and South America and $0.1 million in Asia.

The decrease in the U.S. reflects a decline in e-commerce sales on the Company’s website and the Soho store. The increase in Canada was primarily related to the opening of new stores.

Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
The $6.5 million decrease in net revenues for Speedo wholesale is due primarily to decreases of $5.4 million in the U.S., $0.5 million in Canada and $0.6 million in Mexico, Central and South America. The decrease in the U.S. primarily reflects a decrease in sales to membership clubs and specialty stores (primarily due to the timing of shipments, which occurred late in the first quarter of Fiscal 2009 when comparable shipments occurred in the second quarter of Fiscal 2008), decreases in sales to department stores and the mass merchandise channel (which the Company believes is related primarily to the downturn in the economy) and decreases in sales to the chain store and off- price channels of distribution.

The decrease in Canada reflects a decline in sales to department stores.
The $0.8 million decrease in Swimwear retail net revenues primarily reflects a $0.9 million decrease in the U.S., partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in Asia. Net revenues in Europe were unchanged. The decrease in net revenues in the U.S. primarily reflects volume and price decreases at the online Speedo store. In Europe, the increase in sales was offset by a decrease due to fluctuations in foreign currency.
Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Six Months Ended July 5, 2008
The $4.6 million decrease in net revenues for Speedo wholesale is due primarily to decreases of $1.8 million in the U.S., $1.7 million in Canada and $1.1 million in Mexico, Central and South America. The decrease in the U.S. primarily reflects a decrease in sales to specialty stores and the mass merchandise and department store channels (which the Company believes is due to the downturn in the economy), and a decrease in sales to the chain store and off- price channels of distribution. Those decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales to membership clubs due to new programs and the timing of shipments into the first quarter of Fiscal 2009, when comparable shipments occurred in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2007. The decrease in Mexico, Central and South America primarily reflects a decline in sales to specialty stores, partially offset by an increase in sales to membership clubs and the unfavorable effect of foreign currency fluctuations.
The $5.7 million decrease in Calvin Klein swimwear wholesale net revenues primarily reflects decreases of $4.7 million in Europe, and $1.3 million in the U.S., partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in Mexico, Central and South America. The decrease in Europe primarily relates to the negative effect of foreign currency fluctuations and a decline in sales volume related to late deliveries in 2009. The decrease in the U.S. is primarily due to a decrease in sales to department stores, partially offset by an increase in sales to the off-price channel. The increase in Mexico, Central and South America primarily reflects an increase in sales to membership clubs, partially offset by a decline in sales to specialty stores.
The $1.6 million decrease in Swimwear retail net revenues primarily reflects decreases of $1.6 million in the U.S. and $0.2 million in Europe, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in Asia.

(a)   Sportswear Group gross profit includes approximately $7.4 million and $8.7 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 and July 5, 2008 and $14.3 million and $18.3 million for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 and July 5, 2008, respectively, related to certain sales of Calvin Klein underwear in regions managed by the Sportswear Group.
Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
Gross profit was $189.1 million, or 41.5% of net revenues, for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to $224.8 million, or 44.7% of net revenues, for the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008. The $35.7 million decrease in gross profit was due to decreases in the Sportswear Group ($19.5 million), the Intimate Apparel Group ($12.7 million) and the Swimwear Group ($3.5 million). The 320 basis point reduction in gross margin is primarily reflective of an increase in the ratio of customer allowances and discounts to net revenues (which the Company believes is due to an increase in promotional activity in response to recent weakness in the global economy), an unfavorable sales mix as the Company experienced an increase in off-price (and other less profitable channels) net revenues as a proportion of total net revenues and the negative effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The U.S. dollar strengthened significantly during the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the Euro, Korean won, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso) compared to the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008. Consequently, gross profit for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 includes a decrease of $23.2 million due to foreign currency fluctuations.
Sportswear Group gross profit decreased $19.5 million, and gross margin decreased 350 basis points, for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008 reflecting a $15.5 million decline in the international business (primarily related to the negative effect of fluctuations in exchange rates of foreign currencies, a decrease in net sales and an unfavorable sales mix in Europe and Asia), and a $4.0 million decrease in the domestic business (primarily reflecting a decrease in net revenues and an unfavorable sales mix).
Intimate Apparel Group gross profit decreased $12.7 million and gross margin decreased 370 basis points for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008 reflecting a $10.6 million decline in the international business (primarily related to the negative effect of fluctuations in exchange rates of foreign currencies, an unfavorable sales mix, and lower net sales), and a $2.1 million decrease in the domestic business. The decrease in the domestic business primarily reflects decreased net revenues, partially offset by a favorable sales mix in the Calvin Klein underwear business, and an increase in the Core Intimate business as a result of increased net revenues coupled with a favorable sales mix.
Swimwear Group gross profit decreased $3.5 million and gross margin decreased 110 basis points for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008. The decrease in gross profit primarily reflects a $1.2 million decrease in Speedo (primarily related to decreased sales and unfavorable sales mix, partially offset by decreased inventory markdown costs) and a $2.3 million decline in Calvin Klein gross profit (due primarily to unfavorable sales mix in the U.S. and Europe).
Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Six Months Ended July 5, 2008
Gross profit was $414.7 million, or 41.7% of net revenues, for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to $479.0 million, or 44.7% of net revenues, for the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008. The $64.3 million decrease in gross profit was due to decreases in the Sportswear Group ($36.1 million), the Intimate Apparel Group ($19.9 million) and the Swimwear Group ($8.3 million). The 300 basis point reduction in gross margin is primarily reflective of an increase in the ratio of customer allowances and discounts to net revenues (which the Company believes is due to an increase in promotional activity in response to recent weakness in the global economy), an unfavorable sales mix as the Company experienced an increase in off-price (and other less profitable channels) net revenues as a proportion of total net revenues and the negative effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The U.S. dollar strengthened significantly during the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the Euro, Korean won, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso) compared to the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008. Consequently, gross profit for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 includes a decrease of $60.6 million due to foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, gross profit for the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 benefitted by an extra week of operations when compared to the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009. Included in gross profit for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 is $0.2 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million of restructuring expenses related to the Sportswear, Intimate Apparel and Swimwear Groups, respectively, primarily related to the reduction in the Company’s workforce in January 2009. Included in gross profit for the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 is $0.8 million of restructuring expenses related to the Swimwear Group (see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Sportswear Group gross profit decreased $36.1 million and gross margin decreased 310 basis points for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 reflecting a $36.2 million decline in the international business (primarily related to the negative effect of fluctuations in exchange rates of foreign currencies, an unfavorable sales mix in Europe and Asia and the effect of an extra week of operations during the Six Months Ended April 5, 2008), partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in the domestic business.
Intimate Apparel Group gross profit decreased $19.9 million and gross margin decreased 330 basis points for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 reflecting a $20.7 million decline in the international business (primarily related to the negative effect of fluctuations in exchange rates of foreign currencies, an unfavorable sales mix, lower net sales and the effect of an extra week of operations during the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008), partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in the domestic business. The increase in the domestic business primarily reflects increased net revenues and favorable sales mix in the Calvin Klein underwear business, partially offset by declines in the Core Intimate business as a result of reduced net revenues coupled with an unfavorable sales mix and restructuring expense increase in that business.
Swimwear Group gross profit decreased $8.3 million and gross margin decreased 220 basis points for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008. The decrease in gross profit primarily reflects a $2.8 million decrease in Speedo (primarily related to decreased sales and unfavorable sales mix, partially offset by decreased inventory markdown costs) and a $5.5 million decline in Calvin Klein gross profit (due primarily to a decrease in net sales in Europe and the U.S. and the unfavorable effect of foreign currency fluctuation in Europe). The decrease in gross profit also reflects the effect of an extra week of operations during the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
Selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased $28.0 million to $145.6 million (31.9% of net revenues) for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to $173.6 million (34.5% of net revenues) for the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008. The decrease in SG&A expenses reflects the Company’s cost cutting initiative, which includes, among other things, reductions in its workforce, discretionary marketing costs, professional fees and travel costs. The decrease in SG&A expenses also reflects a net decrease of $15.3 million associated with the foreign currency exchange fluctuations since the U.S. dollar strengthened during the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the Euro, Korean won, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso) compared to the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008. The decrease in SG&A expenses also reflects a $4.6 million decrease in restructuring expenses (charges for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 primarily related to the reduction in the Company’s workforce in January 2009 and consolidation of the Company’s European operations, while charges for the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008 related primarily to contract termination and employee termination costs and other costs). Administrative expenses decreased $15.3 million (primarily related to reductions in professional fees, travel and personnel costs mainly as a result of the Company’s cost cutting initiatives). Marketing expenses decreased $7.0 million (primarily in the Company’s Calvin Klein businesses in Europe, Asia and the U.S. as well as in the Speedo business in the U.S.), selling expenses increased $0.6 million and distribution expenses decreased $1.7 million (both primarily reflecting decreases related to the effects of foreign currency fluctuations and the effects of the Company’s workforce reductions and reduced sales commissions partially offset by increases associated with the opening of additional retail stores for the Calvin Klein businesses in Europe, Asia and Canada).

Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Six Months Ended July 5, 2008
Selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased $65.4 million to $304.4 million (30.6% of net revenues) for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to $369.8 million (34.5% of net revenues) for the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008. The decrease in SG&A expenses reflects the Company’s cost cutting initiative, which includes, among other things, reductions in its workforce, discretionary marketing costs, professional fees and travel costs. The decrease in SG&A expenses also reflects a net decrease of $36.1 million associated with the foreign currency exchange fluctuations since the U.S. dollar strengthened during the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the Euro, Korean won, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso) compared to the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008. The decrease in SG&A expenses also reflects the twenty-seventh week of operations in the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 as well as a $17.1 million decrease in restructuring expenses (charges for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 primarily related to the reduction in the Company’s workforce in January 2009 and consolidation of the Company’s European operations, while charges for the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 related primarily to the Collection License Company Charge of $18.5 million, discussed previously, as well as activities to increase productivity and profitability in the Swimwear segment).

Amortization of Intangible Assets
Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
Amortization of intangible assets was $2.2 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to $2.6 million for the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008. The decrease primarily relates to the unfavorable effect of foreign currency fluctuations on the Euro-denominated carrying amounts of Calvin Klein licenses acquired in January 2006 and January 2008.
Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Six Months Ended July 5, 2008
Amortization of intangible assets was $4.4 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to $5.1 million for the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008. The decrease primarily relates to the unfavorable effect of foreign currency fluctuations on the Euro-denominated carrying amounts of Calvin Klein licenses acquired in January 2006 and January 2008.
Pension Income / Expense
Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
Pension expense was $0.6 million in the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to pension income of $0.3 million in the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008. The increase in pension expense is primarily related to the lower asset base in 2009 due to negative returns earned on the Plan’s assets, especially in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2008. See Note 8 of Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Six Months Ended July 5, 2008
Pension expense was $1.1 million in the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to pension income of $0.6 million in the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008. The increase in pension expense is primarily related to the lower asset base in 2009 due to negative returns earned on the Plan’s assets, especially in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2008.

Sportswear Group operating income decreased $9.4 million, or 41.0%, primarily reflecting decreases of $7.6 million, $1.1 million and $0.7 million in the Calvin Klein Jeans wholesale, Chaps and Calvin Klein Jeans retail businesses, respectively. The decrease in Sportswear operating income primarily reflects a $19.5 million decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a $10.1 million decrease in SG&A (including amortization of intangible assets) expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 0.4%.

SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 5.1%. The decrease in SG&A expenses primarily reflects a $19.9 million decrease in restructuring charges (see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements), the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, savings as a result of cost cutting initiatives, partially offset by increases in Europe and Asia due to store openings and the benefit of an extra twenty-seventh week in 2008.

Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
Intimate Apparel Group operating income for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 decreased $4.8 million, or 15.0%, over the prior year reflecting a $4.7 million decrease in Calvin Klein Underwear wholesale and a $1.8 million decrease in Calvin Klein Underwear retail, partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million in Core Intimates. The decrease in Intimate Apparel operating income primarily reflects a $12.7 million decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a $7.9 million decrease in SG&A (including amortization of intangible assets) expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 2.4%. The decrease in SG&A expense primarily reflects the Company’s initiative to reduce costs and the effects of fluctuations in foreign currencies.
Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Six Months Ended July 5, 2008
Intimate Apparel Group operating income for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 decreased $7.7 million, or 12.0%, over the prior year reflecting a $7.1 million decrease in Calvin Klein Underwear retail and a $0.8 million decrease in Core Intimates, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in Calvin Klein Underwear wholesale. The decrease in Intimate Apparel operating income primarily reflects a $19.9 million decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a $12.2 million decrease in SG&A (including amortization of intangible assets) expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 2.0%. The decrease in SG&A expense primarily reflects the Company’s initiative to reduce costs, the benefit of an extra twenty-seventh week in 2008 and the effects of fluctuations in foreign currencies.

Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
Swimwear Group operating income for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 increased $0.5 million, or 6.7%, reflecting a $3.3 million increase in Speedo wholesale, a $2.1 million decrease in Calvin Klein wholesale and a decline of $0.7 million in Swimwear retail. Operating income for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 and the Three Months ended July 5, 2008 includes restructuring expenses of $0.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, primarily related to the reduction in the Company’s workforce in January 2009 as well as the rationalization of the Swimwear Group warehouse and distribution function in California. The increase in Swimwear operating income primarily reflects a $3.5 million decrease in gross profit, more than offset by a $4.0 million decrease in SG&A (including amortization of intangible assets) expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 2.7%. The decrease in SG&A expense primarily relates to the Company’s initiative to reduce costs.
Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Six Months Ended July 5, 2008
Swimwear Group operating income for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 decreased $1.7 million, or 7.8%, reflecting a $5.4 million decrease in Calvin Klein wholesale and a decline of $1.5 million in Swimwear retail, partially offset by a $5.2 million increase in Speedo wholesale. Operating income for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 and the Six Months ended July 5, 2008 includes restructuring expenses of $2.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, primarily related to the reduction in the Company’s workforce in January 2009 as well as the rationalization of the Swimwear Group warehouse and distribution function in California. The decrease in Swimwear operating income primarily reflects an $8.3 million decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a $6.6 million decrease in SG&A (including amortization of intangible assets) expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 2.1%. The decrease in SG&A expense primarily relates to the Company’s initiative to reduce costs and the benefit of the twenty-seventh week of operations in the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008.
Other Loss (Income)
Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
Loss of $2.8 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 primarily reflects $3.6 million of net losses related to foreign currency exchange contracts designed as economic hedges (see Note 11 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) and net gains of $0.8 million on the current portion of inter-company loans denominated in currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency. Income of $1.2 million for the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008 primarily reflects net income of $0.2 million on the current portion of inter-company loans denominated in currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency and a $1.0 million gain related to foreign currency exchange contracts designed as economic hedges.
Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Six Months Ended July 5, 2008
Loss of $2.4 million for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 primarily reflects $4.4 million of net losses related to foreign currency exchange contracts designed as economic hedges (see Note 11 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) and net gains of $2.0 million on the current portion of inter-company loans denominated in currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency. Loss of $4.3 million for the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 primarily reflects net losses of $0.9 million on the current portion of inter-company loans denominated in currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency, a $0.2 million loss related to foreign currency exchange contracts designed as economic hedges, and a premium paid of $3.2 million (which includes the write-off of approximately $1.1 million of deferred financing costs) related to the repurchase of $44.1 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes (defined below) for a total consideration of $46.2 million.
Interest Expense
Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
Interest expense decreased $1.3 million to $5.8 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 from $7.1 million for the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008. The decrease primarily relates to a decline in interest associated with the Term B Note, which was fully repaid in the third quarter of Fiscal 2008, with the Senior Notes in the U.S., which were partially repaid in the first quarter of Fiscal 2008, and to the decrease in the outstanding balance and interest rates related to the CKJEA short term notes payable. Those decreases were partially offset by an increase in interest on balances of the New Credit Agreements, which were entered into in August 2008. In addition, income on the Company’s interest rate swaps decreased $1.6 million.

In addition, income on the Company’s interest rate swaps decreased $1.4 million.
Interest Income
Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended July 5, 2008
Interest income decreased $0.3 million to $0.4 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 from $0.7 million for the Three Months Ended July 5, 2008. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to a decrease in interest earned on higher outstanding cash balances at lower interest rates.
Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Six Months Ended July 5, 2008
Interest income decreased $0.8 million to $0.8 million for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 from $1.6 million for the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to a decrease in interest earned on higher outstanding cash balances at lower interest rates.

The effective tax rates for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 and July 5, 2008 were 40.6% and 39.1% respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 primarily relates to a non-cash tax charge in the U.S., recorded during the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009, of approximately $2.5 million in order to correct an error in the 2006 income tax provision related to the recapture of cancellation of indebtedness income in connection with the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings in 2003 (see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2008). In addition, there was a shift in earnings from lower to higher tax jurisdictions included in the effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009.
Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to Six Months Ended July 5, 2008
The effective tax rates for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 and July 5, 2008 were 36.5% and 60.5% respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 primarily relates to a non-cash tax charge of approximately $19.0 million associated with the repatriation of the Lejaby sale proceeds (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2008) recorded during the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008, partially offset, during the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, by a shift in earnings from lower to higher tax jurisdictions and a non-cash tax charge of approximately $2.5 million in the U.S. associated with the correction of an error in the 2006 income tax provision related to the recapture of cancellation of indebtedness income in connection with the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings in 2003.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
Financing Arrangements
Senior Notes
On June 12, 2003, Warnaco Inc., the principal operating subsidiary of Warnaco Group, completed the sale of $210.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes at par value, which notes mature on June 15, 2013 and bear interest at 87/8% payable semi-annually on December 15 and June 15 of each year. No principal payments prior to the maturity date are required. The Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Warnaco Group and substantially all of Warnaco Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries (all of which are 100% owned, either directly or indirectly, by Warnaco Inc.). In June 2006, the Company purchased $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding $210.0 million Senior Notes for total consideration of $5.2 million in the open market. During March, 2008, the Company purchased $44.1 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes for a total consideration of $46.2 million in the open market. The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Senior Notes was $160.9 million as of July 4, 2009, January 3, 2009 and July 5, 2008.
The indenture pursuant to which the Senior Notes were issued contains covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make restricted payments, create or permit certain liens, use the proceeds of sales of assets and subsidiaries’ stock, create or permit restrictions on the ability of certain of Warnaco Inc.’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Warnaco Group or to Warnaco Inc., enter into transactions with affiliates, engage in certain business activities, engage in sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate or merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Senior Notes as of July 4, 2009, January 3, 2009 and July 5, 2008.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
On September 18, 2003, the Company entered into an Interest Rate Swap Agreement (the “2003 Swap Agreement”) with respect to the Senior Notes for a total notional amount of $50 million. The 2003 Swap Agreement provided that the Company would receive interest at 87/8% and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six month LIBOR plus 4.11% (5.33% at July 4, 2009). On July 15, 2009, the 2003 Swap Agreement was called by the issuer and the Company received a premium of $1.479 million, which will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense through June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature).
On November 5, 2004, the Company entered into a second Interest Rate Swap Agreement (the “2004 Swap Agreement”) with respect to the Company’s Senior Notes for a total notional amount of $25 million. The 2004 Swap Agreement provided that the Company would receive interest of 87/8% and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six months LIBOR plus 4.34%. In June 2009, the 2004 Swap Agreement was called by the issuer and the Company received a premium of $739,500, which will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense through June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature).
As a result of the 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements, the weighted average effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was 7.77% as of July 4, 2009, 7.77% as of January 3, 2009 and 8.15% as of July 5, 2008.
The fair value of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements reflect the termination premium (unrealized loss) or termination discount (unrealized gain) that the Company would realize if such swaps were terminated on the valuation date. Since the provisions of the Company’s 2003 Swap Agreement and the 2004 Swap Agreement match the provisions of the Company’s outstanding Senior Notes (the “Hedged Debt”), changes in the fair value of the outstanding swaps do not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations but are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included in other assets with a corresponding increase in the Hedged Debt. Unrealized losses on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included as a component of long-term debt with a corresponding decrease in the Hedged Debt. The table below summarizes the fair value (unrealized gains (losses)) of the Company’s outstanding swap agreements:

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

Table of Contents

The New Credit Agreement provides for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility under which up to $270.0 million initially will be available. In addition, during the term of the New Credit Agreement, Warnaco may make up to three requests for additional credit commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200.0 million. The New Canadian Credit Agreement provides for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount up to U.S. $30.0 million. The New Credit Agreements mature on August 26, 2013.
The New Credit Agreement has interest rate options that are based on (i) a Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 0.75% (4.00% at July 4, 2009) or (ii) a LIBOR (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% (2.31% at July 4, 2009) in each case, on a per annum basis. The interest rate payable on outstanding borrowing is subject to adjustments based on changes in the Company’s leverage ratio. The New Canadian Credit Agreement has interest rate options that are based on (i) the prime rate announced by Bank of America (acting through its Canada branch) plus 0.75% (3.00% at July 4, 2009), or (ii) a BA Rate (as defined in the New Canadian Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% (2.06% at July 4, 2009), in each case, on a per annum basis and subject to adjustments based on changes in the Company’s leverage ratio. 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 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.
The New Credit Agreement contains events of default, such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a defined change of control, or the failure to observe the negative covenants and other covenants related to the operation and conduct of the Company’s business. Upon an event of default, the lenders and issuers will not be obligated to make loans or other extensions of credit and may, among other things, terminate their commitments and declare any then outstanding loans due and payable immediately. As of July 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the New Credit Agreements.
As of July 4, 2009, the Company had approximately $0.1 million in loans and approximately $62.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the New Credit Agreement, leaving approximately $186.2 million of availability (including $42.0 million of available cash) under the New Credit Agreement. As of July 4, 2009, there was $8.6 million in loans and no letters of credit outstanding under the New Canadian Credit Agreement and the available line of credit was approximately $17.9 million.
Revolving Credit Facility; Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Foreign Revolving Credit Facility
On August 26, 2008, the Company terminated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including the Term B Note, in connection with the closing of the New Credit Agreements (see above). In addition, during the third quarter of Fiscal 2008, the Company terminated the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility under which no amounts were outstanding. All guarantees, mortgages, liens and security interests related to both of those agreements were terminated at that time.
Euro-Denominated CKJEA Notes Payable and Other
The total CKJEA notes payable of $48.4 million at July 4, 2009 consists of short-term revolving notes with a number of banks at various interest rates (primarily Euro LIBOR plus 1.0%). As of July 4, 2009, January 3, 2009 and July 5, 2008, the weighted average interest rate for the CKJEA notes payable outstanding was approximately 2.39%, 4.50% and 5.67%, respectively. All of the CKJEA notes payable are short-term and were renewed during the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 for additional terms of no more than 12 months. In addition, one of the Company’s Korean subsidiaries had an outstanding note payable of $1.6 million with an interest rate of 4.7% per annum and $3.8 million with an interest rate of 8.84% per annum at July 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009, respectively.
Liquidity
The Company’s principal source of cash is from sales of its merchandise to both wholesale and retail customers. During the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, there was a decrease in net revenues of 7.2 % compared to the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 (see Results of Operations — Net Revenues, above). The decline in net revenues was primarily due to the negative effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of certain currencies where the Company conducts its business (principally the Euro, Korean Won, Canadian Dollar and Mexican Peso). A decline in future net revenue could have a material negative impact on the ability of the Company to conduct its operations at current levels.

The Company believes that, at July 4, 2009, cash on hand, cash available under its New Credit Agreements (see Capital Resources and Liquidity — Financing Arrangements, above) and cash to be generated from future operating activities will be sufficient to fund its operations, including contractual obligations (see Note 20 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, above) and capital expenditures, for the next 12 months.
In connection with the consolidation of its European operations during the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company entered into a 15-year lease for a distribution center in the Netherlands. The Company expects to occupy the distribution center by February 2010 and to make capital improvements of approximately $10 million from November 2009 through the first quarter of 2010. The Company has also committed to leasing over 100,000 square feet of new retail store space worldwide, which the Company expects will result in capital expenditures of up to $20 million during Fiscal 2009.
During the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company reduced its workforce in order to align its cost structure to match the downturn in the global economy and turmoil in the financial markets. The Company made $5.8 million in cash severance payments to employees and expects to pay an additional $1.8 million during the remainder of Fiscal 2009. The Company also paid $1.2 million related to restructuring and other exit activities, including consolidation of its European operations and contract termination costs. The Company expects to incur further restructuring expenses of approximately $1.4 million in connection with the consolidation of its European operations through 2010.
During the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, some of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar (primarily the Euro, Korean Won, Canadian Dollar or Mexican Peso), made purchases of inventory, paid minimum royalty and advertising costs and /or had intercompany loans and payables denominated in U.S. dollars. The cash flows of those subsidiaries were, therefore, negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in relation to those foreign currencies. In order to minimize foreign currency exchange risk of those transactions, the Company uses derivative financial instruments, including foreign currency exchange forward contracts and zero cost collars (option contracts). The Company also uses interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the interest obligation related to its long-term debt from a fixed rate to floating rates in order to reduce cash outflows (see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Foreign Exchange Risk and Note 11 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
The Company carries its derivative financial instruments at fair value, in accordance with SFAS 157, 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 July 4, 2009, the Company’s hedging programs included $41.3 million of future inventory purchases, $19.7 million of future minimum royalty and advertising payments and $69.7 million of intercompany loans and amounts denominated in non-functional currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar.
SFAS 157 includes a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market assumptions. 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.
The fair value of interest rate swaps was estimated based on the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the swaps on the valuation date. Those amounts are based on receipt of interest at a fixed interest rate of 87/8% and a payment of a variable rate based on a fixed interest rate above the six month LIBOR rate. As such, the fair value of the interest rate swaps is classified as level 2, as defined above.
The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts 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 date and (ii) the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current forward exchange rate. The fair value of these foreign currency exchange contracts is based on exchange-quoted prices which are adjusted by a forward yield curve and, therefore, meets the definition of level 2 fair value, as defined above.
The fair value of zero-cost collars was determined as the net unrealized gains or losses on the option contracts comprising each collar, which is the net difference between (i) the U.S. dollars to be received or paid at the contracts’ settlement date and (ii) the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current spot exchange rate. The fair value of these foreign currency exchange contracts is based on exchange-quoted prices and, therefore, meets the definition of level 2 fair value, as defined above.

As of July 4, 2009, the Company had working capital of $559.0 million, cash and cash equivalents of $177.6 million, and short-term debt of $58.8 million. The Company’s total debt was $221.9 million, consisting of $163.1 million of the Senior Notes (including unrealized gain on the interest rate swap of $1.5 million and premium of $0.7 million on the 2004 swap), $0.1 million under the New Credit Agreement, $8.6 million under the New Canadian Credit Agreement, $48.4 million of the CKJEA short-term notes payable and $1.7 million of other outstanding debt. The Company repaid $44.1 million of the Senior Notes in March 2008 from the proceeds of the sale of the Lejaby business during the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008. As of July 4, 2009, under the New Credit Agreement, the Company had approximately $0.1 million in loans and approximately $62.1 million in letters of credit outstanding, leaving approximately $186.2 million of availability (including $42.0 million of available cash), and, under the New Canadian Credit Agreement, approximately $8.6 million of loans and no letters of credit, leaving approximately $17.9 million of availability. With the exception of the Company’s foreign short-term notes payable, the Company is not required to make any principal payments under its debt facilities prior to June 15, 2013.
The revolving credit facilities under the New Credit Agreements reflect funding commitments by a syndicate of 14 U.S. and Canadian 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 turmoil in the credit markets has resulted in a decrease in the ability of banks to lend. The Company continues to monitor the creditworthiness of the syndicated banks.
During the Three Months Ended April 4, 2009, the Company was able to borrow funds under the New Credit Agreement, net of repayments, of $52.8 million for seasonal cash flow requirements. The Company repaid those borrowings by the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2009. As of July 4, 2009, the Company expects that it will continue to be able to obtain needed funds under the New 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 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.
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. Most of these provisions were first applicable to the Company’s domestic defined benefit pension plan in Fiscal 2008. The PPA may ultimately require the Company to make additional contributions to its domestic plans. During the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company contributed $9.5 million to the domestic pension plan. Fiscal 2009 domestic plan contributions of $11.4 million are currently expected and annual contributions for the following four years are expected to be similar. Actual Fiscal 2009 and 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.
Accounts receivable increased $29.5 million to $281.4 million at July 4, 2009 from $251.9 million at January 3, 2009, reflecting a $0.6 million increase in the Sportswear Group (due primarily to seasonality of sales in the domestic and overseas Calvin Klein Jeans business offset by a reduction in reserves), an $11.6 million increase in the Intimate Apparel Group (due primarily to increased collection time despite decreased sales in the domestic and overseas businesses) and a $17.3 million increase in the Swimwear Group (reflecting the seasonal shipment of swimwear products and increased collection time). The balance of accounts receivable at July 4, 2009 includes a decrease of $24.5 million due to the adverse effects of foreign currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar in connection with transactions in countries where the Company conducts certain of its operations (principally the Euro, Korean won, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso).
Accounts receivable decreased $29.5 million to $281.4 million at July 4, 2009 from $310.9 million at July 5, 2008. The balance at July 5, 2008 includes approximately $0.3 million related to operations discontinued during the year ended July 4, 2009. Excluding these discontinued operations, accounts receivable decreased $29.2 million primarily reflecting the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Inventories decreased $34.7 million to $291.6 million at July 4, 2009 from $326.3 million at January 3, 2009, reflecting an $11.4 million decrease in the Sportswear Group (due primarily to the Company’s initiative to reduce inventory in light of the downturn in the economy), a $4.4 million increase in the Intimate Apparel Group (due to increased customer demand) and an $18.9 million decrease in the Swimwear Group (due to the seasonality of sales of the swimwear products and the Company’s initiative to reduce inventory). The balance of inventories at July 4, 2009 includes a decrease of $27.2 million due to the adverse effects of foreign currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar in connection with transactions in countries where the Company conducts certain of its operations (principally the Euro, Korean won, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso).
Inventories decreased $24.8 million to $291.6 million at July 4, 2009 from $316.4 million at July 5, 2008. The balance at July 5, 2008 includes approximately $0.9 million related to operations discontinued during the year ended July 4, 2009. Excluding these discontinued operations, inventory decreased $23.9 million primarily related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Share Repurchase Program
In May 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2007 Share Repurchase Program”) for the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company expects that, in order to comply with the terms of applicable debt instruments, purchases under this newly authorized program will be made from time to time over a period of up to four years beginning from the date the program was approved. During the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the 2007 Share Repurchase Program. The share repurchase program may be modified or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.
Repurchased shares are held in treasury pending use for general corporate purposes.
Cash Flows

For the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $70.4 million compared to $56.4 million in the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008. The $14.0 million increase in cash provided was due to a $19.1 million increase in net income offset by the changes to non-cash charges and working capital. Working capital changes for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 included cash outflows of $25.3 million related to accounts receivable (due to timing of sales and payments) and $52.9 million related to accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities (due to the timing of payments for purchases of inventory), partially offset by cash inflows of $32.1 million related to inventory (due to the Company’s initiative to reduce inventory balances in light of the downturn in the economy), $18.7 million related to accrued income taxes and $2.0 million related to prepaid expenses and other assets. Working capital changes for the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 included cash outflows of $40.0 million related to accounts receivable, $17.6 million related to prepaid expenses and other assets, and $0.3 million related to accounts payable and accrued expenses, which were partially offset by cash inflows of $3.5 million related to inventory and $32.4 million related to accrued income taxes (including an accrual during the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 of approximately $19.0 million associated with the repatriation, to the U.S., of the proceeds related to the sale of the Lejaby business, net of adjustments for working capital). The Company experienced a $1.7 million decrease in non-cash charges in the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 compared to the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 primarily reflecting decreases in foreign exchange gains, depreciation and amortization, inventory write-downs (primarily related to the Company’s Swimwear group), amortization of deferred charges and loss on repurchase of Senior Notes and refinancing of revolving credit facility in 2008 and an increase in loss from discontinued operations in 2009.

For the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $20.7 million, mainly attributable to purchases of property, plant and equipment. For the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008, cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $20.6 million, mainly attributable to purchases of property, plant and equipment of $19.6 million and cash used for business acquisitions of $29.1 million, mainly related to acquisition of intangible assets related to new licenses acquired from PVH on January 30, 2008 and the acquisition of a business which operates 11 retail stores in China (see Note 3 to Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). Those amounts were partially offset by a net amount of $27.9 million received from the sale of the Lejaby business, which closed on March 10, 2008 (see Note 4 of Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).
Net cash used in financing activities for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 was $23.6 million, which primarily reflects a decrease of $18.7 million related to short-term notes payable, a decrease of $4.1 million due to repayment of amounts borrowed under the New Credit Agreements and a decrease of $1.4 million related to the repurchase of treasury stock (in connection with 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), partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million of cash received upon the cancellation of the 2004 Swap (see Note 14 to notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). For the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008, net cash used in financing activities was $57.9 million, attributable mainly to the repurchase of $46.2 million of Senior Notes, decrease in short-term notes payable of $25.1 million, repurchase of treasury stock of $4.3 million and repayments of the Term B note of $1.4 million. Those amounts were partially offset by $19.1 million from the exercise of employee stock options.

The following factors, among others, including those described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the heading Item 1A. Risk Factors (as such disclosure may be modified or supplemented from time to time), could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by it: the Company’s ability to execute its repositioning and sale initiatives (including achieving enhanced productivity and profitability) previously announced; economic conditions that affect the apparel industry, including the recent turmoil in the financial and credit markets; the Company’s failure to anticipate, identify or promptly react to changing trends, styles, or brand preferences; further declines in prices in the apparel industry; declining sales resulting from increased competition in the Company’s markets; increases in the prices of raw materials; events which result in difficulty in procuring or producing the Company’s products on a cost-effective basis; the effect of laws and regulations, including those relating to labor, workplace and the environment; changing international trade regulation, including as it relates to the imposition or elimination of quotas on imports of textiles and apparel; the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property or the costs incurred by the Company related thereto; the risk of product safety issues, defects or other production problems associated with our products; the Company’s dependence on a limited number of customers; the effects of consolidation in the retail sector; the Company’s dependence on license agreements with third parties; the Company’s dependence on the reputation of its brand names, including, in particular, Calvin Klein; the Company’s exposure to conditions in overseas markets in connection with the Company’s foreign operations and the sourcing of products from foreign third-party vendors; the Company’s foreign currency exposure; the Company’s history of insufficient disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls and restated financial statements; unanticipated future internal control deficiencies or weaknesses or ineffective disclosure controls and procedures; the effects of fluctuations in the value of investments of the Company’s pension plan; the sufficiency of cash to fund operations, including capital expenditures; the Company’s ability to service its indebtedness, the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company’s indebtedness that is subject to floating interest rates and the limitations imposed on the Company’s operating and financial flexibility by the agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness; the Company’s dependence on its senior management team and other key personnel; the Company’s reliance on information technology; the limitations on purchases under the Company’s share repurchase program contained in the Company’s debt instruments, the number of shares that the Company purchases under such program and the prices paid for such shares; the Company’s inability to achieve its financial targets and strategic objectives, as a result of one or more of the factors described above, changes in the assumptions underlying the targets or goals, or otherwise; the failure of acquired businesses to generate expected levels of revenues; the failure of the Company to successfully integrate such businesses with its existing businesses (and as a result, not achieving all or a substantial portion of the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions); and such acquired businesses being adversely affected, including by one or more of the factors described above, and thereby failing to achieve anticipated revenues and earnings growth.

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. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculation or for trading purposes.
Market Risk
The Company’s pension plan invests in marketable equity and debt securities, mutual funds, common collective trusts, limited partnerships and cash accounts. These investments are subject to changes in the market value of individual securities and interest rates as well as changes in the overall economy. Investments are stated at fair value, except as disclosed below, based upon quoted market prices. Investments in limited partnerships are valued based on estimated fair value by the management of the limited partnerships in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. These estimated fair values are based upon the underlying investments of the limited partnerships. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material. The limited partnerships utilize a “fund of funds” approach resulting in diversified multi-strategy, multi-manager investments. The limited partnerships invest capital in a diversified group of investment entities, generally hedge funds, private investment companies, portfolio funds and pooled investment vehicles which engage in a variety of investment strategies, managed by investment managers. Fair value is determined by the administrators of each underlying investment, in consultation with the investment managers. Investments in common collective trusts are valued at the net asset value, as determined by the trust manager, of the shares held by the pension plan at year end, which is based on the fair value of the underlying assets. The common collective trusts are not traded on a public exchange and maintains a net asset value of $1 per share.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2009, the turmoil in the credit markets caused a decline in the fair value of the debt and equity securities and other investments held by the pension plan’s investment portfolio. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2009, the fair value of those investments has begun to increase. Changes in the value of the pension plan’s investment portfolio are directly reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations through pension expense and in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as a component of accrued pension liability. The Company records the effect of any changes in actuarial assumptions (including changes in the discount rate) and the difference between the assumed rate of return on plan assets and the actual return on plan assets in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. The total value of the pension plan’s investment portfolio was $100.6 million at January 3, 2009. A hypothetical 10% increase/decrease in the value of the Company’s pension plan investment portfolio would have resulted in a decrease/increase in pension expense of $10.1 million for Fiscal 2008. Based on historical appreciation in the Company’s pension plan investment portfolio, the Company, during the first half of Fiscal 2009, estimated pension expense on an interim basis assuming a long-term rate of return on pension plan investments of 8%, net of pension plan expenses. A 1% decrease/increase in the actual return earned on pension plan assets (a decrease in the return on plan assets from 8% to 7% or an increase in the return on plan assets from 8% to 9%) would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $1.0 million in pension expense (decrease/increase in pension income) for Fiscal 2009.

Interest Rate Risk
The Company has market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates, at July 4, 2009, on its 2003 Swap Agreement with notional amount totaling $50.0 million, on $0.1 million under the New Credit Agreement and $8.6 million under the New Canadian Credit Agreement and, at July 5, 2008, on its 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements with notional amounts totaling $75.0 million, on $106.0 million of loans outstanding under the Term B Note. There was no exposure on the revolving credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement since the balance at July 5, 2008 was zero. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk on its Senior Notes because the interest rate on the Senior Notes is fixed at 87/8% per annum. With respect to the 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements (the 2004 Swap Agreement was called by the issuer in June 2009), a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would have had an unfavorable impact of $0.1 million for the Six Months ended July 4, 2009 and $0.3 million for the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 on the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates for the loans outstanding under the Term B Note would have had an unfavorable effect of $0.2 million and a negligible effect under the revolving credit facility in the Six Months Ended July 5, 2008 on the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates for the loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement and New Canadian Credit Agreement would each have had negligible unfavorable effects in the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 on the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Capital Resources and Liquidity — Financing Arrangements and Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk related to its U.S. dollar-denominated purchases of inventory, payment of minimum royalty and advertising costs and intercompany loans and payables where the functional currencies of the subsidiaries that are party to these transactions are the Euro, Canadian Dollar, Korean Won, Mexican Peso or British Pound. The foreign currency derivative instruments that the Company uses to offset its foreign exchange risk are forward purchase contracts and zero-cost collars. See Note11 of Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further details on the derivative instruments and hedged transactions. These exposures have created significant foreign currency fluctuation risk and have had a significant negative impact on the Company’s earnings during the first half of Fiscal 2009 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2008. The negative impact during the first half of Fiscal 2009 is due to strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies of the Company’s Canadian, Mexican, Central and South American, European and Asian operations. These operations accounted for approximately 49.5% of the Company’s total net revenues for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009. These foreign operations of the Company purchase products from suppliers denominated in U.S. dollars. Total purchases of products made by foreign subsidiaries denominated in U.S. dollars amounted to approximately $105.1 million for Six Months Ended July 4, 2009. A hypothetical decrease of 10% in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would have increased cost of goods sold (which would decrease operating income) by $10.5 million for Six Months Ended July 4, 2009.
The fair value of foreign currency exchange 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 date and (ii) the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current forward or spot (for zero cost collars) exchange rate.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The information required by this Item 1 of Part II is incorporated herein by reference to Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 18 Legal Matters.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Please refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2008, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2009 for a description of certain significant risks and uncertainties to which the Company’s business, operations and financial condition are subject. There have been no material changes to these risk factors during the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, except as noted below.
Our income tax obligations may increase due to recently proposed changes in U.S. tax law.
In May 2009, President Obama’s administration proposed significant changes to tax laws regarding U.S. companies with international operations, including changes that would reduce or eliminate the deferral of U.S. income tax on future un-repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, the limitation on U.S. tax deductions for expenses related to un-repatriated earnings and modifications to the U.S. “check the box” rules. We consider the operating earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be invested indefinitely outside of the U.S. and thus have not provided for U.S. federal and state income taxes or foreign withholdings taxes that may result on future remittances. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate impact if the proposals are enacted into law or what, if any, changes may be made to such proposals prior to their enactment. However, future changes in U.S. tax laws and the interpretation or enforcement thereof could have a significant adverse impact on our effective tax rate and financial results.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
In May 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2007 Share Repurchase Program”) for the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company expects that, in order to comply with the terms of applicable debt instruments, purchases under this newly authorized program will be made from time to time over a period of up to four years from the date the program was approved.
