Note 1—Organization
The Warnaco Group, Inc. (‘‘Warnaco Group’’ and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the ‘‘Company’’) was incorporated in Delaware on March 14, 1986 and, on May 10, 1986, acquired substantially all of the outstanding shares of Warnaco Inc. (‘‘Warnaco’’). Warnaco is the principal operating subsidiary of Warnaco Group.
Note 2 — Basis of Consolidation and Presentation
The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of Warnaco Group and its subsidiaries. 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 (“WBR”). In the fourth quarter of the year ended January 2, 2010, the Company increased its ownership interest in WBR to 100% and, accordingly, at January 2, 2010 and July 3, 2010, there were no minority shareholders of WBR. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2009. The year end Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Periods Covered: The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year basis ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. As such, the period January 3, 2010 to January 1, 2011 (“Fiscal 2010”) will contain 52 weeks of operations and the period January 4, 2009 to January 2, 2010 (“Fiscal 2009”) contained 52 weeks of operations. Additionally, the period from April 4, 2010 to July 3, 2010 (the “Three Months Ended July 3, 2010”) and the period from April 5, 2009 to July 4, 2009 (the “Three Months Ended July 4, 2009”) each contained thirteen weeks of operations and the period from January 3, 2010 to July 3, 2010 (the “Six Months Ended July 3, 2010”) and the period from January 4, 2009 to July 4, 2009 (the “Six Months Ended July 4, 2009”) each contained twenty-six weeks of operations.
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, amounts related to certain sales of Calvin Klein underwear in regions managed by the Sportswear Group, previously included in net revenues and operating income of the Sportswear Group, have been reclassified to the Intimate Apparel Group for the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 to conform to the presentation for the Three and Six Months Ended July 3, 2010. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

(a)   The primary reason for the increase in stock-based compensation expense for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, compared to the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, related to the incorporation of a “Retirement Eligibility” feature that was applied to all the equity awards issued in March 2010. For employee stock-based compensation awards issued in March 2010 (and for similar types of future awards), the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the incorporation of a Retirement Eligibility feature such that an employee who has attained the age of 60 years with at least five years of continuous employment with the Company will be deemed to be “Retirement Eligible”. Awards granted to Retirement Eligible employees will continue to vest even if the employee’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the award’s vesting date (other than for cause, and provided the employee does not engage in a competitive activity). As in previous years, awards granted to all other employees (i.e. those who are not Retirement Eligible) will cease vesting if the employee’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the award’s vesting date. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period associated with the related equity award. For Retirement Eligible employees, the requisite service period is either the grant date or the period from the grant date to the Retirement-Eligibility date (in the case where the Retirement Eligibility date precedes the vesting date). For all other employees (i.e. those who are not Retirement Eligible), as in previous years, the requisite service period is the period from the grant date to the vesting date. The Retirement Eligibility feature was not applied to awards issued prior to March 2010.

Subsequent Events: The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to July 3, 2010 for potential recognition or disclosure in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 that had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Note 3—Acquisitions
Acquisition of Businesses in Asia
On April 29, 2010, the Company entered into agreements for the purchase of the businesses of a distributor of the Company’s Calvin Klein Jeans and Calvin Klein Underwear in southern Asia for total consideration of approximately $2,900 and on June 1, 2010, the Company entered into agreements for the purchase of the businesses of a distributor of the Company’s Calvin Klein Jeans and Calvin Klein Underwear in the People’s Republic of China for total consideration of approximately $5,900. The acquisition of the businesses in southern Asia and the People’s Republic of China were accounted for as business combinations, which were deemed not to be material for accounting purposes from a financial disclosure perspective.
Acquisition of Remaining Non-controlling Interest and Retail Stores in Brazil
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009, the Company acquired the remaining non-controlling interest in WBR and eight retail stores in Brazil, collectively, the “Brazilian Acquisition”. In connection with the Brazilian Acquisition, the Company is required to make three future annual payments to the Sellers through March 31, 2012 which are contingent on the operating income, as defined, of WBR during that period. During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company paid 6 million Brazilian real (approximately $3,400) to the Sellers, representing the first of the three contingent payments.
During the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company completed the accounting for the Brazilian Acquisition, including the acquisition of certain store assets, which had been recorded as intangible assets of $3,592 on the date of acquisition. During the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company reclassified those assets as prepaid rent (included in Other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet), which will be amortized as rent expense over the expected term of the respective leases (see Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). The Company did not adjust prior period balance sheets to give effect to the change in classification as it considers the adjustment to be immaterial.
Note 4—Discontinued Operations
As disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2009, the Company discontinued certain operations in prior periods. Summarized operating results for the discontinued operations of those prior periods are as follows:

During the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company incurred restructuring charges and other exit costs of $1,474 and $10,045, respectively, primarily related to (i) the continuation of the workforce reduction, which commenced during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2008, in order to align the Company’s cost structure to match current economic conditions ($560 and $6,097, respectively); (ii) the rationalization and consolidation of the Company’s European operations, which had begun in Fiscal 2007 ($195 and $796, respectively) ; (iii) activities associated with management’s initiatives to increase productivity and profitability in the Swimwear Group, which had also begun in Fiscal 2007 ($696 and $1,139, respectively), and (iv) other exit activities, including contract termination costs, legal and other costs ($23 and $2,013, respectively).
Restructuring charges and other exit costs have been recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 and Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, as follows:

(a)   the increase in unallocated corporate expenses for the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 was due primarily to an increase in amounts accrued for performance-based employee compensation. The increase in unallocated corporate expenses for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 is related primarily to share-based compensation expense due to the addition of Retirement Eligibility provisions in the Fiscal 2010 awards (see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) and an increase in amounts accrued for performance-based employee compensation.

Note 7—Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009 were 34.5% and 40.4%, respectively. The decrease in effective tax rate reflects a tax benefit relating to the finalization of a foreign tax examination recorded during the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010, partially offset by a shift in earnings from lower to higher taxing jurisdictions. Included in the effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 is a non-cash tax charge recorded in the U.S. 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 which had been deferred in connection with the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings in 2003 (see Note 6 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2009).
The effective tax rates for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009 were 34.5% and 36.4%, respectively. The decrease in effective tax rate reflects a decrease in foreign earnings taxed in the U.S. as well as a tax benefit relating to the finalization of foreign tax examinations recorded during the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010, partially offset by a shift in earnings from lower to higher taxing jurisdictions. Included in the effective tax rate for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 is a non-cash tax charge of approximately $2,500 recorded 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 which had been deferred in connection with the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings in 2003.
The Company applies the applicable provisions of GAAP to determine whether tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions may be recognized in the financial statements. During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company reduced its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $1,600 as a result of the conclusion of certain income tax examinations in foreign jurisdictions, of which a benefit of approximately $600 impacted the effective tax rate. 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.
The Company remains under audit in various taxing jurisdictions. It is, therefore, difficult to predict the final timing and resolution of any particular uncertain tax position. Based upon the Company’s assessment of many factors, it is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase between $2,500 and $5,000 (net of decreases that are reasonably possible), 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 have not earned any additional pension benefits after December 31, 2002. The Company also sponsors defined benefit plans for certain of its United Kingdom and other European employees (the “Foreign Plans”). The Foreign Plans were not considered to be material for any period presented. These pension plans are noncontributory and benefits are based upon years of service. The Company also has health care and life insurance plans that provide post-retirement benefits to certain retired domestic employees (the “Postretirement Plans”). The Postretirement Plans are, in most cases, contributory with retiree contributions adjusted annually.
Each quarter the Company recognizes interest cost of the Pension Plan’s projected benefit obligation offset by the expected return on Pension Plan assets. The Company records pension expense (income) as the effect of actual gains and losses exceeding the expected return on Pension Plan assets (including changes in actuarial assumptions) less changes in the Pension Plan’s projected benefit obligation (including changes in actuarial assumptions) in the fourth quarter of each year. This accounting results in volatility in pension expense or income; therefore, the Company reports pension expense/income on a separate line of its Statements of Operations in each period.
During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company made contributions of $2,400 to the Pension Plan. The Company’s contributions to the Pension Plan are expected to be $6,300 in total for Fiscal 2010. 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 3, 2010, the fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets decreased to $112,947, representing an annualized rate of return of approximately negative 3.5%.
The following table includes only the Pension Plan. The Foreign Plans were not considered to be material for any period presented. The components of net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

The Company’s liability for employee contributions and investment activity was $3,643, $2,838 and $2,334 as of July 3, 2010, January 2, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively. This liability is included in other long-term liabilities. The Company’s liability for director contributions and investment activity was $808, $703 and $531 as of July 3, 2010, January 2, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively. This liability is included in other long-term liabilities.

(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 and the fact that the majority of the Company’s assets are based outside of the U.S. The decrease of $43,290 in foreign currency translation adjustments at July 3, 2010 compared to January 2, 2010 reflects the increase in the strength of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro, Canadian Dollar, Korean Won, Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso between such dates.
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 and interest rate swaps. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The Company classifies its financial instruments in a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
         
 
  Level 1 -   Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

14


Table of Contents

THE WARNACO GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, excluding share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
         
 
  Level 2 -   Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
 
       
 
  Level 3 -   Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.
Valuation Techniques
The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts 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 exchange rate, as applicable. The fair value of these foreign currency exchange contracts is based on quoted prices that include the effects of U.S. and foreign interest rate yield curves and, therefore, meets the definition of level 2 fair value, as defined above.
The fair value of interest rate 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 meets the definition of level 2, as defined above. As of July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swaps.
The following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of July 3, 2010, January 2, 2010 and July 4, 2009:

(a)   the 2004 and 2003 Swap Agreements (as defined in Note 14, below) were called by the issuer in June and July 2009, respectively. The Company received a total debt premium of $2,219, which was being amortized as a reduction to interest expense through June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature). The Senior Notes were fully repaid on June 15, 2010 and the remaining deferred premium was written off. See Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value. The Company’s Senior Notes, CKJEA Notes and amounts outstanding under the New Credit Agreements are also reported at carrying value.
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.

(Dollars in thousands, excluding share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
Short-term Revolving Credit Facilities: The carrying amount of the New Credit Agreements, CKJEA Notes 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 were scheduled to mature on June 15, 2013 and bore interest at 87/8% payable semi-annually beginning December 15, 2003. However, at July 3, 2010, all of the Senior Notes had been redeemed from bondholders. At January 2, 2010, the fair value of the Senior Notes was based on their redemption price, including the related debt premium on the Swap Agreements, since a portion of the Senior Notes was redeemed on January 5, 2010 (see Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). The fair value of the Senior Notes at July 4, 2009 was based upon quoted market prices for the Senior Notes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The fair value of the outstanding foreign currency exchange forward contracts is based upon the cost to terminate the contracts, as described above in Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Interest Rate Swaps: The fair value of the Swap Agreements as of July 4, 2009 was based upon the costs to terminate the contracts. As of July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swaps.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at July 3, 2010, January 2, 2010 and July 4, 2009 are as follows:

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk related to U.S. dollar-denominated purchases of inventory, payment of minimum royalty and advertising costs and intercompany payables by foreign subsidiaries whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar. 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. During the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company also utilized 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 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
A number of international financial institutions are counterparties to the Company’s 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 3, 2010 and the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company’s Korean, European and Canadian subsidiaries continued their hedging programs, which included 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. All of the foregoing forward contracts were designated as cash flow hedges, with gains and losses accumulated on the Balance Sheet in Other Comprehensive Income and recognized in Cost of Goods Sold in the Statement of Operations during the periods in which the underlying transactions occur.

During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 and the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, the Company also continued hedging programs, which were accounted for as economic hedges, with gains and losses recorded directly in Other loss (income) or Selling, general and administrative expense in the Statements of Operations in the period in which they are incurred. Those hedging programs included foreign currency exchange contracts, including, zero-cost collars, that were designed to fix the number of Euros, Korean won, Canadian dollars or Mexican pesos required to satisfy either (i) the first 50% of U.S. dollar denominated purchases of inventory over an 18-month period; (ii) 50% of intercompany purchases from a British subsidiary or (iii) U.S. dollar denominated intercompany loans and payables.

A reconciliation of the balance of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income during the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 and the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 related to cash flow hedges of foreign exchange forward contracts is as follows:
         
Balance January 3, 2009
  $ (328 )
Derivative losses recognized
    (597 )
Gains amortized to earnings
    25  
 
     
Balance July 4, 2009, net of tax
  $ (900 )
 
     
 
       
Balance January 2, 2010

    2,077  
Tax effect
    (573 )
 
     
Balance July 3, 2010, net of tax
  $ 1,504  
 
     
During the twelve months following July 3, 2010, the net amount of gains that were reported in Other Comprehensive Income at that date that are estimated to be amortized into earnings is $1,777. During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company expected that all originally forecasted purchases of inventory or payment of minimum royalties, which were covered by cash flow hedges, would occur by the end of the respective originally specified time periods. Therefore, no amount of gains or losses was reclassified into earnings during the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 as a result of the discontinuance of those cash flow hedges.

During the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company reclassified those assets as prepaid rent (included in Other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet).

Senior Notes
On January 5, 2010, the Company redeemed from bondholders $50,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2013 (“Senior Notes”) for a total consideration of $51,479 and on June 15, 2010, the Company redeemed from bondholders the remaining $110,890 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding Senior Notes for a total consideration of $112,530. In connection with the redemptions, the Company recognized losses, in the Other loss (income) line item in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations totaling approximately $2,055 and $3,747, for the Three and Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, respectively, which included $1,640 and $3,119 of premium expense, the write-off of approximately $1,594 and $2,411 of deferred financing costs and $1,179 and $1,783 of unamortized gain from the previously terminated 2003 Swap Agreement and 2004 Swap Agreement (both defined below) for the Three and Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, respectively. The Company funded the redemption of the Senior Notes on January 5, 2010 and June 15, 2010 with available cash on hand in the U.S. and borrowings under its New Credit Agreement (defined below).
The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Senior Notes was $0 as of July 3, 2010 and $160,890 at January 2, 2010 and at July 4, 2009.
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” and, together with the 2003 Swap Agreement, the “Swap Agreements”) with respect to the Senior Notes for a total notional amount of $75,000. In June 2009, the 2004 Swap Agreement was called by the issuer and the Company received a debt premium of $740. On July 15, 2009, the 2003 Swap Agreement was called by the issuer and the Company received a debt premium of $1,479. Both debt premiums were being amortized as reductions to interest expense through June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature). The Senior Notes were fully repaid on June 15, 2010 and the remaining deferred premium was written off. During the Three and Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, $1,244 and $1,945, respectively, was amortized, including $1,179 and $1,783, respectively, related to the redemption of the Senior Notes (see above). The 2003 Swap Agreement and the 2004 Swap Agreement provided that the Company would receive interest at 87/8% and pay variable rates of interest based upon six month LIBOR plus 4.11% and 4.34%, respectively. As a result of the Swap Agreements and the amortization of the debt premiums, the weighted average effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was 8.53% as of January 2, 2010 and 7.77% as of July 4, 2009.
As of July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swap agreements. The fair values of the Company’s Swap Agreements at July 4, 2009 reflect the termination premium or termination discount that the Company would have realized if such Swap Agreements had been terminated on that date. Since the provisions of the Company’s Swap Agreements matched the provisions of the Company’s outstanding Senior Notes (the “Hedged Debt”), changes in the fair values of the Swap Agreements did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations for the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 but were recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of that date in Other assets with a corresponding increase in the Hedged Debt.
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, 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.
At July 3, 2010, the New Credit Agreement had interest rate options (dependent on the amount borrowed and the repayment period) that are based on: (i) a Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 0.75% (4.0% at July 3, 2010) or (ii) LIBOR (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% (2.28% at July 3, 2010) 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. At July 3, 2010, the New Canadian Credit Agreement had interest rate options (dependent on the amount borrowed and the repayment period) that are based on: (i) the prime rate announced by Bank of America (acting through its Canada branch) plus 0.75% (3.25% at July 3, 2010) or (ii) a BA Rate (as defined in the New Canadian Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% (2.5% at July 3, 2010), 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.

(a)   does not include an additional 36,750 restricted units with a grant date fair value of $43.28, granted to Retirement-Eligible employees, for which the requisite service period has been completed on the grant date but the restrictions will not lapse until the end of the three-year vesting period.
In March 2010, share-based compensation awards granted to certain of the Company’s executive officers under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan included 75,750 performance-based restricted stock/restricted unit awards (“Performance Awards”) in addition to the service-based stock options and restricted stock awards, included in the preceding tables, of the types that had been granted in previous periods. The Performance Awards cliff-vest three years after the grant date and are subject to the same vesting provisions as awards of the Company’s regular service-based restricted stock/restricted unit awards granted in March 2010. The final number of Performance Awards that will be earned, if any, at the end of the three-year vesting period will be the greatest number of shares based on the Company’s achievement of certain goals relating to cumulative earnings per share growth (a performance condition) or the Company’s relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) (change in closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange compared to that of a peer group of companies (“Peer Companies”)) (a market condition) measured from the beginning of Fiscal 2010 to the end of Fiscal 2012 (the “Measurement Period”). The total number of Performance Awards earned could equal up to 150% of the number of Performance Awards originally granted, depending on the level of achievement of those goals during the Measurement Period.
The Company records stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Awards ratably over the requisite service period based on the greater of the estimated expense calculated under the performance condition or the grant date fair value calculated under the market condition. Stock-based compensation expense related to an award with a market condition is recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service period has been completed. Under the performance condition, the estimated expense is based on the grant date fair value (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant) and the Company’s current expectations of the probable number of Performance Awards that will ultimately be earned. The fair value of the Performance Awards under the market condition ($2,432) is based upon a Monte Carlo simulation model, which encompasses TSR’s during the Measurement Period, including both the period from the beginning of Fiscal 2010 to March 3, 2010 (the grant date), for which actual TSR’s are calculated, and the period from the grant date to the end of Fiscal 2012, a total of 2.83 years (the “Remaining Measurement Period”), for which simulated TSR’s are calculated.

In calculating the fair value of the award under the market condition, the Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables over the Measurement Period in order to determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award. The Monte Carlo simulation model computed simulated TSR’s for the Company and Peer Companies during the Remaining Measurement Period with the following inputs: (i) stock price on the grant date (ii) expected volatility; (iii) risk-free interest rate; (iv) dividend yield and (v) correlations of historical common stock returns between the Company and the Peer Companies and among the Peer Companies. Expected volatilities utilized in the Monte Carlo model are based on historical volatility of the Company’s and the Peer Companies’ stock prices over a period equal in length to that of the Remaining Measurement Period. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term equal to the Measurement Period assumption at the time of grant.
The calculation of simulated TSR’s under the Monte Carlo model for the Remaining Measurement Period included the following assumptions:
         
Weighted average risk free rate of return
    1.25 %
Dividend yield
     
Expected volatility — Company
    65.0 %
Expected volatility — Peer Companies
    39.8% - 114.1 %
Remaining measurement period
  2.83 years  
The Company recorded compensation expense for the Performance Awards during the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 based on the performance condition.
Performance share activity for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 was as follows:

Note 17—Income per Common Share
The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted income per common share attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders, giving effect to participating securities. The Company has determined that based on a review of its share-based awards, only its restricted stock awards are deemed participating securities, which participate equally with common shareholders. The weighted average restricted stock outstanding was 556,328 and 526,413 shares for the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively, and 577,924 and 511,771 shares for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively. Undistributed income allocated to participating securities is based on the proportion of restricted stock outstanding to the sum of weighted average number of common shares outstanding attributable to Warnaco Group, 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 2009, 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”) from Doyle & Bossiere Fund I, LLC (“Doyle”) and certain minority shareholders of OP. The terms of the acquisition agreement required the Company to make certain contingent payments to the sellers of OP under certain circumstances. On November 6, 2006, the Company sold the OP business to a third party. On May 23, 2007, Doyle filed a demand against the Company for arbitration before Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services in Orange County, California, alleging that certain contingent purchase price payments are due to them as a result of the Company’s sale of the OP business in November 2006. The complaint seeks monetary damages and other relief. The Company believes that Doyle’s lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. The Company believes that it has adequately reserved for this matter.
Lejaby Claims: On March 10, 2008, the Company sold its Lejaby business to Palmers Textil AG (“Palmers”). On August 18, 2009, Palmers filed an action against the Company in Le Tribunal de Commerce de Paris (The Paris Commercial Court), alleging that the Company made certain misrepresentations in the sale agreement, and seeking to declare the sale null and void, monetary damages and other relief (the “Palmers Suit”). In addition, the Company and Palmers have been unable to agree on certain post-closing adjustments to the purchase price, including adjustments for working capital. The dispute regarding the amount of post-closing adjustments is not a subject of the Palmers Suit. The Company believes that the Palmers’ lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. The Company believes that it has adequately reserved for these claims.
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.

Contractual obligations as of January 2, 2010 (as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for Fiscal 2009) included approximately $37,000 related to a 15 year lease contract for a new distribution center in the Netherlands (the “DC”) that was entered into by the Company’s Netherlands subsidiary. In the event of default by the Netherlands subsidiary in making rental payments under the lease, the Warnaco Group Inc. has issued a guarantee to the lessor for those payments.
At July 3, 2010, in the ordinary course of business, the Company had open purchase orders with suppliers of approximately $304,848, of which $298,005 is payable in 2010 and $6,843 is payable in 2011.
As of July 3, 2010, 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 3, 2010, the Company remains under audit in various taxing jurisdictions. It is, therefore, difficult to predict the final timing and resolution of any particular uncertain tax position. Based upon the Company’s assessment of many factors, including past experience and complex judgments about future events, it is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months its accrual for uncertain tax positions may increase between $2,500 and $5,000 (net of decreases that are reasonably possible), 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.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk — Foreign Exchange Risk, below).
    Income from continuing operations, on a GAAP basis, for the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 was $0.65 per diluted share, a 63% increase compared to the $0.40 per diluted share for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009.

    Inventories at July 3, 2010 were down $14.0 million, or 4.8%, from the balance at July 4, 2009, primarily as a result of the Company’s initiative to reduce inventory levels.
    On April 29, 2010, the Company entered into agreements for the purchase of a distributor’s business in southern Asia for total consideration of approximately $2.9 million and on June 1, 2010, the Company entered into agreements for the purchase of a distributor’s business in the People’s Republic of China for total consideration of approximately $5.9 million.

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

(b)   This adjustment seeks to present the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations on a continuing basis with an additional charge of $260 and $520 for the Three Months and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 for amortization expense related to the correction of amounts recorded in prior periods in connection with the recapture of cancellation of indebtedness income and to reflect these items net of income tax effects of $104 and $208, respectively.

(d)   This adjustment seeks to present the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations on a continuing basis without the effects of charges of $2,055, net of income tax effects of $701 and charges of $3,747, net of income tax effects of $1,379, related to the repurchase of a portion of its Senior Notes during the Three Months and Six Months Ended July 3, 2010.
 
(e)   Adjustment to reflect the Company’s income from continuing operations at tax rates of 33.3% and 33.9%, which reflect the Company’s normalized tax rates for the Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2009, respectively, excluding the effect of restructuring charges, pension expense, charges related to the repurchase of Senior Notes during the Three and Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 and amortization expense during the Three and Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, and certain other tax-related items.
The Company believes it is valuable for users of its financial statements to be made aware of the non-GAAP financial information as such measures are used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s continuing businesses on a comparable basis and to make operating and strategic decisions. Such non-GAAP measures will also enhance users’ ability to analyze trends in the Company’s business. In addition, the Company uses performance targets based, in part, on non-GAAP operating income and diluted earnings per share as a component of the measurement of incentive compensation.

Furthermore, the Warnaco Group Inc. is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by the Company from translating its foreign revenues into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results. As a supplement to its reported operating results, the Company presents constant currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how its businesses performed excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency translation rates. Management believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of operating results and better identify trends in the Company’s businesses.
To calculate the increase in segment revenues on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period).
These constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in isolation from, or as a substitute to, the Company’s operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The constant currency information presented in the following tables may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to use judgment in making certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in its consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. See the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2009 for a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies.
Stock-Based Compensation
In March 2010, share-based compensation awards granted to certain of the Company’s executive officers under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan included 75,750 performance-based restricted stock/restricted unit awards (“Performance Awards”) in addition to the service-based stock options and restricted stock awards of the types that had been granted in previous periods. See Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The Performance Awards cliff-vest three years after the grant date and are subject to the same vesting provisions as awards of the Company’s regular service-based restricted stock/restricted unit awards granted in March 2010. The final number of Performance Awards that will be earned, if any, at the end of the three-year vesting period will be the greatest number of shares based on the Company’s achievement of certain goals relating to cumulative earnings per share growth (a performance condition) or the Company’s relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) (change in closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange compared to that of a peer group of companies (“Peer Companies”)) (a market condition) measured from the beginning of Fiscal 2010 to the end of Fiscal 2012 (the “Measurement Period”). The total number of Performance Awards earned could equal up to 150% of the number of Performance Awards originally granted, depending on the level of achievement of those goals during the Measurement Period.
The Company records stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Awards ratably over the requisite service period based on the greater of the estimated expense calculated under the performance condition or the grant date fair value calculated under the market condition. Stock-based compensation expense related to an award with a market condition is recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service period has been completed. Under the performance condition, the estimated expense is based on the grant date fair value (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant) and the Company’s current expectations of the probable number of Performance Awards that will ultimately be earned. The fair value of the Performance Awards under the market condition ($2.4 million for the March 2010 Performance Awards) is based upon a Monte Carlo simulation model, which encompasses TSR’s during the Measurement Period, including both the period from the beginning of Fiscal 2010 to March 3, 2010 (the grant date), for which actual TSR’s are calculated, and the period from the grant date to the end of Fiscal 2012, a total of 2.83 years (the “Remaining Measurement Period”), for which simulated TSR’s are calculated.
In calculating the fair value of the award under the market condition, the Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables over the Measurement Period in order to determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award. The Monte Carlo simulation model computed simulated TSR’s for the Company and Peer Companies during the Remaining Measurement Period with the following inputs: (i) stock price on the grant date (ii) expected volatility; (iii) risk-free interest rate; (iv) dividend yield and (v) correlations of historical common stock returns between the Company and the Peer Companies and among the Peer Companies. Expected volatilities utilized in the Monte Carlo model are based on historical volatility of the Company’s and the Peer Companies’ stock prices over a period equal in length to that of the Remaining Measurement Period. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term equal to the Measurement Period assumption at the time of grant.
For all employee stock-based compensation awards issued in March 2010 (and for similar types of future awards), the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the incorporation of a Retirement Eligibility feature such that an employee who has attained the age of 60 years with at least five years of continuous employment with the Company will be deemed to be “Retirement Eligible”. Awards granted to Retirement Eligible employees will continue to vest even if the employee’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the award’s vesting date (other than for cause, and provided the employee does not engage in a competitive activity). As in previous years, awards granted to all other employees (i.e. those who are not Retirement Eligible) will cease vesting if the employee’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the awards vesting date. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period associated with the related equity award. For Retirement Eligible employees, the requisite service period is either the grant date or the period from the grant date to the Retirement-Eligibility date (in the case where the Retirement Eligibility date precedes the vesting date). For all other employees (i.e. those who are not Retirement Eligible), as in previous years, the requisite service period is the period from the grant date to the vesting date. The Retirement Eligibility feature was not applied to awards issued prior to March 2010. The increase in stock-based compensation expense recorded during the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 of approximately $7.1 million, from the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, primarily related to the Retirement Eligibility feature described above.

Sportswear Group net revenues increased $32.0 million to $244.1 million for the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 from $212.1 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009, reflecting an increase of $18.0 million in Sportswear wholesale and an increase of $14.0 million in Sportswear retail.

Sportswear Group net revenues from international operations increased $23.2 million and from domestic operations increased $8.8 million. The increase in Sportswear Group net revenues from international operations included a 2.6% increase from comparable store sales during the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010.
The increase in Sportswear wholesale net revenues (in local currency) primarily reflects:
Calvin Klein Jeans:
Increases in sales:
    in Europe of accessories;
 
    in the U.S. to stores operated by Calvin Klein Inc. (“CKI”), as well as to the off-price channel;
 
    in Canada to department stores, membership clubs, and independent retailers;
 
    in Mexico and Central and South America to department stores and membership clubs; and
 
    in Asia, primarily due to an increase in the expansion of the distribution network in the People’s Republic of China and southern Asia
 
      partially offset by decreases in sales:
 
    in the U.S. to department stores and membership clubs (decreases in membership clubs primarily relate to the timing of shipments);
 
    in Europe to department stores, independent retailers and specialty stores and the off-price channel;
 
    in Canada to off-price channels; and
 
    in Asia in the off-price channel primarily due to lower levels of excess inventory and fewer promotional sales.
Chaps:
      Increases in sales:
 
    in the U.S. in the chain store and off-price channels and in department store channel, primarily due to a new customer in 2010; and
    in Canada to department stores, off-price channels and independent retailers
partially offset by decreases in sales:
    in Canada to membership clubs, primarily due to timing of shipments (certain shipments are expected to occur in third quarter 2010, while comparable shipments occurred in the second quarter 2009); and
 
    in Mexico and Central and South America in department stores.

The $82.6 million increase in gross profit was due to increases in the Sportswear Group ($44.6 million) and the Intimate Apparel Group ($38.5 million), partially offset by a decrease in the Swimwear Group ($0.5 million).

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to Three Months Ended July 4, 2009
Selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $26.6 million to $171.9 million (33.1% of net revenues) for the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to $145.3 million (31.9% of net revenues) for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009. The increase in SG&A expenses includes (i) an increase of $14.8 million in selling and distribution expenses primarily associated with the opening of additional retail stores in Europe, Asia, Canada and Brazil, partially offset by decreases due to cost savings resulting from restructuring activities during Fiscal 2009; (ii) an increase of $6.5 million in marketing expenses, including the launch of the Calvin Klein X product line of men’s underwear and (iii) an increase in administrative expenses of $5.6 million primarily related to amounts accrued for performance-based employee compensation, partially offset by a decline of $0.3 million in restructuring charges (see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). The U.S. dollar strengthened during the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 relative to certain functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations compared to the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009, resulting in a $1.0 million decrease in SG&A.
Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to Six Months Ended July 4, 2009
Selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $53.2 million to $356.8 million (32.2% of net revenues) for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to $303.6 million (30.6% of net revenues) for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009. The increase in SG&A expenses includes (i) an increase of $34.8 million in selling and distribution expenses primarily associated with the opening of additional retail stores in Europe, Asia, Canada and Brazil, partially offset by decreases due to cost savings resulting from restructuring activities during Fiscal 2009; (ii) an increase of $14.2 million in marketing expenses, including the launch of the Calvin Klein X product line of men’s underwear; and (iii) an increase in administrative expenses of $10.8 million, including an increase due to amounts accrued for performance-based employee compensation as well as an increase in stock-based compensation expense primarily as a result in the change in terms of equity awards granted to employees in March 2010. Compensation expense related to those awards granted to employees who were deemed to be Retirement Eligible on the date of grant would be recognized on the date of grant, or, in the case of employees who may become Retirement Eligible within 36 months of the date of grant, on a straight-line basis through the period from the date of grant to the date such employee may become Retirement Eligible, instead of being recognized on a straight-line basis over 36 months as such equity awards were accounted for in prior periods (see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). Those increases were partially offset by a $6.6 million decline in restructuring charges (see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). The U.S. dollar weakened during the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 relative to certain functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations compared to the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, resulting in an $8.2 million increase in SG&A.

Amortization of Intangible Assets
Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to Three Months Ended July 4, 2009
Amortization of intangible assets was $2.6 million for the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to $2.2 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009. The increase primarily relates to (i) increase in the value of certain intangible assets due to the correction in the second and fourth quarters of Fiscal 2009 of those intangible assets recorded at February 4, 2003, the date that Warnaco Group, Warnaco Inc. (“Warnaco”) and certain of Warnaco’s subsidiaries were reorganized under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101-1330, as amended; (ii) the acquisition of favorable retail store leases in Brazil in the fourth quarter of 2009 and (iii) the favorable effect of foreign currency fluctuations on the Korean Won-denominated carrying amounts of Calvin Klein licenses acquired in January 2006 and January 2008, partially offset by the write-off of the Calvin Klein Golf license in the third quarter of Fiscal 2009 and 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 3, 2010 compared to Six Months Ended July 4, 2009
Amortization of intangible assets was $5.3 million for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to $4.3 million for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009.

Pension income was $0.02 million in the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to pension expense of $0.6 million in the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009. The decrease in pension expense is primarily related to a higher asset base in Fiscal 2010 due to positive returns earned on the Plan’s assets during Fiscal 2010, partially offset by an increase in interest cost on the Company’s projected benefit obligation resulting from a decrease in the discount/interest rate to 6.1% in the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 from 8.0% in the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009.

Pension income was $0.04 million in the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to pension expense of $1.1 million in the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009. The decrease in pension expense is primarily related to a higher asset base in Fiscal 2010 due to positive returns earned on the Plan’s assets during Fiscal 2010, partially offset by an increase interest cost on the Company’s projected benefit obligation resulting from a decrease in the discount/interest rate to 6.1% in the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 from 8.0% in the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009. See Note 8 of Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Interest expense decreased $1.5 million to $4.3 million for the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 from $5.8 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009. The decrease primarily relates to the redemption of $110.9 million and $50.0 million of the outstanding balance of the Senior Notes in the U.S., which were repaid on June 15, 2010 and January 5, 2010, respectively, decreases in the outstanding balances and interest rates related to the CKJEA Notes payable and the New Credit Agreements, and the amortization of the premium on the Swap Agreements, each defined below, which were terminated in the second and third quarters of Fiscal 2009, partially offset by an increase related to the accretion of the liability for the contingent payments to the Sellers in the acquisitions in Brazil in the fourth quarter of 2009 (see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).
Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to Six Months Ended July 4, 2009
Interest expense decreased $2.7 million to $9.2 million for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 from $11.9 million for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009. The decrease primarily relates to the redemption of $110.9 million and $50.0 million of the outstanding balance of the Senior Notes in the U.S., which were repaid on June 15, 2010 and January 5, 2010, respectively, decreases in the outstanding balances and interest rates related to the CKJEA Notes payable and the New Credit Agreements, and the amortization of the premium on the Swap Agreements, which were terminated in the second and third quarters of Fiscal 2009, partially offset by an increase related to the accretion of the liability for the contingent payments to the Sellers in the acquisitions in Brazil in the fourth quarter of 2009 (see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).
Interest Income
Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to Three Months Ended July 4, 2009
Interest income increased $0.1 million to $0.5 million for the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 from $0.4 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009. The increase in interest income was due primarily to an increase of $0.1 million related to a third-party note receivable.

Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to Six Months Ended July 4, 2009
Interest income increased $0.7 million to $1.5 million for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 from $0.8 million for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009. The increase in interest income was due primarily to an increase of $0.6 million related to a third-party note receivable and an increase of $0.1 million due to higher cash balances in 2010 than in 2009.
Income Taxes
Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to Three Months Ended July 4, 2009
The effective tax rates for the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009 were 34.5% and 40.4%, respectively. The decrease in effective tax rate reflects a tax benefit relating to the finalization of a foreign tax examination recorded during the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010, partially offset by a shift in earnings from lower to higher taxing jurisdictions. Included in the effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009 is a non-cash tax charge recorded in the U.S. 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 which had been deferred in connection with the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings in 2003 (see Note 6 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2009).
Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to Six Months Ended July 4, 2009
The effective tax rates for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009 were 34.5% and 36.4%, respectively. The decrease in effective tax rate reflects a decrease in foreign earnings taxed in the U.S. as well as a tax benefit relating to the finalization of foreign tax examinations recorded during the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010, partially offset by a shift in earnings from lower to higher taxing jurisdictions. Included in the effective tax rate for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 is a non-cash tax charge of approximately $2.5 million recorded 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 which had been deferred in connection with the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings in 2003.
Discontinued Operations
Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to Three Months Ended July 4, 2009
Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, was $0.1 million for the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to a loss of $0.9 million for the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009, in both periods primarily related to the Company’s Ocean Pacific and Calvin Klein Collection discontinued businesses. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to Six Months Ended July 4, 2009

Capital Resources and Liquidity
Financing Arrangements
Senior Notes
On January 5, 2010, the Company redeemed from bondholders the $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 87/8% Senior Notes due 2013 (“Senior Notes”) for a total consideration of $51.5 million and on June 15, 2010, the Company redeemed from bondholders the remaining $110.9 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding Senior Notes for a total consideration of $112.5 million. In connection with the redemptions, the Company recognized losses, in the Other loss (income) line item in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations of approximately $2.0 million and $3.7 million, for the Three and Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, respectively, which included $1.6 million and $3.1 million of premium expense, the write-off of approximately $1.6 million and $2.4 million of deferred financing costs, and $1.2 million and $1.8 million of unamortized gain from the previously terminated 2003 Swap Agreement and 2004 Swap Agreement (see Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) for the Three and Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, respectively. The Company funded the redemption of the Senior Notes on January 5, 2010 and June 15, 2010 with available cash on hand in the U.S. and borrowings under its New Credit Agreement (defined below).
The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Senior Notes was $0 as of July 3, 2010 and $160.9 million at January 2, 2010 and at July 4, 2009.

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, 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.
At July 3, 2010, the New Credit Agreement had interest rate options (dependent on the amount borrowed and the repayment period) that are based on: (i) a Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 0.75% (4.0% at July 3, 2010) or (ii) LIBOR (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% (2.28% at July 3, 2010) 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. At July 3, 2010, the New Canadian Credit Agreement had interest rate options (dependent on the amount borrowed and the repayment period) that are based on: (i) the prime rate announced by Bank of America (acting through its Canada branch) plus 0.75% (3.25% at July 3, 2010) or (ii) a BA Rate (as defined in the New Canadian Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% (2.5% at July 3, 2010), 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 3, 2010, the Company had $25.3 million of loans and approximately $85.7 million in letters of credit outstanding under the New Credit Agreement, leaving approximately $110.8 million of availability. As of July 3, 2010, there were no loans and no letters of credit outstanding under the New Canadian Credit Agreement and the available line of credit was approximately $19.7 million. As of July 3, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the New Credit Agreements.
Euro-Denominated CKJEA Notes Payable and Other
In connection with the Company’s 2006 acquisition of certain parts of its Calvin Klein businesses, the Company assumed certain short-term notes payable (the “CKJEA Notes”). The total CKJEA notes payable of $38.3 million at July 3, 2010 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 2.49% as of July 3, 2010, 2.18% as of January 2, 2010 and 2.39% as of July 4, 2009. All of the CKJEA notes payable are short-term and were renewed during the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 for additional terms of no more than 12 months. At July 3, 2010, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, WBR, had lines of credit with several banks, with a total outstanding balance of $1.6 million, recorded in Short-term debt in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet, which was secured by an equal amount of WBR’s trade accounts receivable. 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 at July 4, 2009, all of which had been repaid as of January 2, 2010 and July 3, 2010.
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 3, 2010, sales of the Company’s products increased in local currencies compared to the same period in the prior year. Since more than 50% of those sales arose from the Company’s operations outside the U.S., fluctuations in foreign currencies (principally the Euro, Korean Won, Canadian Dollar, Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso) relative to the U.S. Dollar have a significant effect on the Company’s cash inflows, expressed in U.S. Dollars. During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year, the U.S. Dollar was weaker relative to the foreign currencies noted above, other than the Euro, against which the U.S. Dollar was substantially unchanged As a result, the increase in sales in local currencies was further increased by the favorable effect of fluctuations in foreign currencies, which was reflected in an increase in net revenues of 11.5% during the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 (see Results of Operations — Net Revenues, above).
The Company believes that, at July 3, 2010, 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 19 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, above) and capital expenditures, for the next 12 months.
As of July 3, 2010, the Company had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $477.3 million. Included in working capital as of July 3, 2010 was (among other items) cash and cash equivalents of $172.9 million, and short-term debt of $65.2 million, including $25.3 million of New Credit Agreements, $38.3 million of the CKJEA Notes and $1.6 million of other short-term debt.

On January 5, 2010, the Company redeemed from bondholders $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes for a total consideration of $51.5 million. On June 15, 2010, the Company redeemed from bondholders the remaining $110.9 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Notes for a total consideration of $112.5 million. The Company funded the redemption of the Senior Notes on January 5, 2010 and June 15, 2010 with available cash on hand in the U.S. and borrowings under its New Credit Agreement. See Financing Arrangements — Senior Notes, above.
As of July 3, 2010, under the New Credit Agreement, the Company had $25.3 million of loans and $85.7 million in letters of credit outstanding, leaving approximately $110.8 million of availability, and, under the New Canadian Credit Agreement, no loans and no letters of credit, leaving approximately $19.7 million of availability. The Company expects to make principal payments under its short-term notes payable as excess cash becomes available.
The revolving credit facilities under the New Credit Agreements reflect funding commitments by a syndicate of 14 banks, including Bank of America N.A., JPMorgan Chase, N.A., Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland and The Bank of Nova Scotia. The ability of any one or more of those banks to meet its commitment to provide the Company with funding up to the maximum of available credit is dependent on the fair value of the bank’s assets and its legal lending ratio relative to those assets (amount the bank is allowed to lend). The Company believes that the ability of those banks to make loans during the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 has increased relative to Fiscal 2009 since the turmoil in the credit markets during Fiscal 2009 had diminished by the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2010. However, the Company continues to monitor the creditworthiness of the syndicated banks.
During Fiscal 2009, the Company was able to borrow funds, from time to time, under the New Credit Agreements for seasonal and other cash flow requirements. The Company repaid those borrowings by the end of Fiscal 2009. As of July 3, 2010, 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 Company’s corporate credit ratings and outlooks at July 3, 2010, are summarized below:
                 
Rating   Corporate        
Agency   Rating (a)     Outlook  
 
               
Moody’s
  Ba1   stable
 
               
Standard & Poor’s
  BB+   positive
     
(a)   ratings on individual debt issuances can be different from the Company’s composite credit ratings depending on the priority position of creditors holding such debt, collateral related to such debt and other factors. The Company’s secured debt is rated BBB by Standard & Poor’s and Baa2 by Moody’s.
The Company’s credit ratings contribute to its ability to access the credit markets. Factors that can affect the Company’s credit ratings include changes in its operating performance, the economic environment, conditions in the apparel industry, the Company’s financial position, and changes in the Company’s business or financial strategy. The Company is not currently aware of any circumstances that would likely result in a downgrade of its credit ratings. If a downgrade were to occur, it could adversely affect, among other things, the Company’s future borrowing costs and access to capital markets. The current state of the economy creates greater uncertainty than in the past with regard to financing opportunities and the cost of such financing. Given the Company’s capital structure and its projections for future profitability and cash flow, the Company believes it is well positioned to obtain additional financing, if necessary, to refinance its debt, or, if opportunities present themselves, to make future acquisitions. However, there can be no assurance that such financing, if needed, can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company or at such time as a specific need may arise.

During Fiscal 2010, the Company has targeted the leasing of 120,000 square feet of new retail store space worldwide, which the Company expects will result in capital expenditures of approximately $21.0 million. During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, capital expenditures related to material handling equipment and other leasehold improvements at the Company’s new distribution center in the Netherlands was approximately $9.5 million. The distribution center began operations during May 2010. Capital expenditures for the remainder of Fiscal 2010 related to the distribution center are expected to be $0.4 million.
During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company made $2.1 million in cash severance payments to employees and expects to make an additional $0.7 million of cash severance payments during the remainder of Fiscal 2010 in connection with consolidation of its European operations. The Company also paid $1.5 million related to other restructuring and exit activities, including contract termination costs. The Company expects to incur further restructuring expenses of approximately $0.9 million in connection with the consolidation of its European operations through 2010.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009, the Company acquired the remaining 49% equity interest in WBR, its subsidiary in Brazil. In addition to the initial cash payment made upon acquisition, the Company may be required to make up to three annual contingent payments through March 31, 2012. During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company made the first such payment, amounting to 6 million Brazilian Real (approximately $3.4 million), based upon the operating results achieved by WBR in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009.
During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company acquired the businesses of certain of its distributors in southern Asia and the People’s Republic of China for total consideration of $8.8 million, of which $6.0 million was paid during the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010.
During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company completed repurchases under its 2007 Share Repurchase Program by repurchasing the 1,490,131 shares of common stock available for repurchase under the 2007 Share Repurchase Program for a total of $69.0 million (based on an average of $46.31 per share). In addition, the Company repurchased 74,301 shares of common stock for a total of $3.3 million (based on an average of $44.76 per share) related to the surrender of shares for the payment of minimum income tax due upon vesting of certain restricted stock awarded by the Company to its employees (see Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Part II. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds). Repurchased shares are held in treasury pending use for general corporate purposes.
During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, some of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar made purchases of inventory, paid minimum royalty and advertising costs and /or had intercompany loans and payables denominated in U.S. dollars. During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year, the U.S. Dollar was weaker relative to the foreign currencies noted above, other than the Euro, against which the U.S. Dollar was substantially unchanged. The cash flows of those subsidiaries were, therefore, impacted by the fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar in relation to those foreign currencies. In order to minimize the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of those transactions, the Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign currency exchange forward contracts and zero cost collars (option contracts). There were no zero cost collars at July 3, 2010 (see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Foreign Exchange Risk and Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).
The Company carries its derivative financial instruments at fair value on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. At July 3, 2010, the Company’s hedging programs included $62.6 million of future inventory purchases, $19.3 million of future minimum royalty and advertising payments and $38.0 million of intercompany payables denominated in non-functional currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar.
The Company classifies its financial instruments under 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 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 zero-cost collars is based on exchange-quoted prices and, therefore, meets the definition of level 2 fair value, as defined above.
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the “PPA”) revised the basis and methodology for determining defined benefit plan minimum funding requirements as well as maximum contributions to and benefits paid from tax-qualified plans. The PPA may ultimately require the Company to make additional contributions to its domestic plans. During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company contributed $2.4 million to the domestic pension plan. Fiscal 2010 domestic plan contributions of $6.3 million are currently expected and annual contributions for the following four years are expected to be similar. Actual Fiscal 2010 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. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Company’s pension plan.
Accounts receivable increased $13.6 million to $304.3 million at July 3, 2010 from $290.7 million at January 2, 2010, due primarily to increased sales volume in June 2010 compared to December 2009. The balance of accounts receivable at July 3, 2010 includes a decrease of $12.4 million, due to the stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies in connection with transactions in countries where the Company conducts certain of its operations (principally the Euro, Korean won, Canadian dollar, Brazilian real and Mexican peso), at that date compared to January 2, 2010.
Accounts receivable increased $22.9 million to $304.3 million at July 3, 2010 from $281.4 million at July 4, 2009. The balance of accounts receivable at July 3, 2010 includes a decrease of $4.5 million, due to the stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies in connection with transactions in countries where the Company conducts certain of its operations, at that date compared to July 4, 2009.
Inventories increased $24.2 million to $277.6 million at July 3, 2010 from $253.4 million at January 2, 2010 to support expected sales. The balance of inventories at July 3, 2010 includes a decrease of $13.6 million, due to the stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies in connection with transactions in countries where the Company conducts certain of its operations, at that date compared to January 2, 2010.
Inventories decreased $14.0 million to $277.6 million at July 3, 2010 from $291.6 million at July 4, 2009, reflecting primarily the Company’s initiative, begun in 2009, to reduce inventory in light of the downturn in the global economy. The balance of inventories at July 3, 2010 includes a decrease of $6.6 million, due to the stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies in connection with transactions in countries where the Company conducts certain of its operations, at that date compared to July 4, 2009.

For the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $94.1 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $70.9 million in the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009. The $23.2 million increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to an increase in net income, net of non-cash charges, partially offset by an increase in outflows related to changes in working capital.
Working capital changes for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 included cash outflows of $29.4 million related to accounts receivable (due to increased sales in June 2010 than in December 2009 and the timing of payments), $38.6 million related to inventory (due to expected sales) and $13.4 million related to prepaid expenses and other assets (primarily related to prepaid advertising and royalty expenses), partially offset by cash inflows of $16.4 million related to accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities (due to the timing of payments for purchases of inventory) and $26.5 million related to accrued income taxes.
Working capital changes for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 included cash outflows of $25.2 million related to accounts receivable (due to an increase in volume and timing of sales) and $53.0 million related to accounts payable and accrued expenses (due to the timing of payments for purchases of inventory), partially offset by cash inflows of $32.2 million related to inventory (due to the Company’s initiative to reduce inventory balances following the downturn in the economy), $2.1 million related to prepaid expenses and other assets and $18.7 million related to accrued income taxes.
The Company experienced a $15.1 million increase in non-cash charges in the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, compared to the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 primarily reflecting increases in foreign exchange losses, depreciation and amortization, compensation expense related to share-based awards and loss on repurchase of the Senior Notes during the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, partially offset by decreases in provision for bad debts, inventory write-down (primarily related to the Company’s Swimwear group) and loss from discontinued operations.
For the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $24.1 million, mainly attributable to purchases of property, plant and equipment, including $9.5 million related to the Company’s new distribution center in the Netherlands, and $6.0 million related to acquisitions of businesses in Asia. For the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009, net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $20.7 million, mainly attributable to purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 was $212.2 million, which primarily reflects net cash used of $164.0 million related to the repurchase of Senior Notes, $72.3 million related to the repurchase of treasury stock (in connection with the 2007 Share Repurchase Program and the surrender of shares for the payment of minimum income tax due upon vesting of certain restricted stock awarded by the Company to its employees), $3.4 million related to a contingent payment in connection with the acquisition of the equity interest in WBR in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009, which was accounted for as an equity transaction and $2.7 million related to repayment of short-term notes, partially offset by cash provided of $25.1 million related to amounts borrowed under the New Credit Agreements and $5.1 million from the exercise of employee stock options. 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 repayment of short-term notes, 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).

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; possible additional tax liabilities; 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 including, in particular, its license agreement with Calvin Klein Inc., the licensor of the Company’s Calvin Klein brand name; 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.
The Company encourages investors to read the section entitled Item 1A. Risk Factors and the discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies in Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, as such discussions may be modified or supplemented by subsequent reports that the Company files with the SEC.

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, 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.
Changes in the fair value of the pension plan’s investment portfolio are directly reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations through pension expense and in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as a component of accrued pension liability, included in Other liabilities. 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 $118.3 million at January 2, 2010. 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 $11.8 million for Fiscal 2009. Based on historical appreciation in the Company’s pension plan investment portfolio, the Company, during the first six months of Fiscal 2010, 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 $1.2 million in pension expense (decrease/increase in pension income) for Fiscal 2010.
During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, the actual annualized rate of return on the Pension Plan’s assets has been a loss of approximately 3.5%. 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 $110.5 million at July 3, 2010 compared to $118.3 million at January 2, 2010. The fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets reflects a $6.8 million decrease from their assumed value of approximately $117.3 million, net of benefits paid but before contributions, at July 3, 2010. During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010, the Company made contributions of $2.4 million to the Pension Plan, which increased the fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets, net of benefits paid, to approximately $112.9 million at July 3, 2010. Assuming that the fair value of the investment portfolio increases at the assumed rate of 8% per annum for the remainder of Fiscal 2010, the Company could recognize $6.9 million of pension expense for the year ending January 1, 2011. 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 2010. Based upon results for Fiscal 2009, a 0.1% increase (decrease) in the discount rate would decrease (increase) pension expense by approximately $1 million.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates, at July 3, 2010, on $38.3 million under the CKJEA Notes, and $25.3 million under the New Credit Agreements and, at July 4, 2009, on its 2003 Swap Agreement with a notional amount of $50.0 million, on $50.1 million under the CKJEA Notes and other short-term debt and on $8.7 million under the New Credit Agreements. At July 4, 2009, the Company was not exposed to interest rate risk on its Senior Notes because the interest rate was fixed at 8 7/8 per annum. With respect to the 2003 Swap Agreement (which was called by the issuer in July 2009), a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would have had a negligible unfavorable impact for the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009 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 Agreements and for the CKJEA Notes would have had a negligible unfavorable effect in the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 and 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 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 Note 11 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 favorable impact on the Company’s earnings during the first half of Fiscal 2010, compared to the same period in Fiscal 2009, due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against those foreign currencies, except for the Euro, against which the U.S. dollar was substantially unchanged. The Company’s European, Asian, Canadian, Mexican and South American operations accounted for approximately 52% of the Company’s total net revenues for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010. 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 $113.1 million for Six Months Ended July 3, 2010. 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 $11.3 million for Six Months Ended July 3, 2010.
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.
The following table summarizes the effect on earnings for the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 of a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rate on the Company’s foreign currency exchange contracts:

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During May 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2010 Share Repurchase Program”), which allows the Company to repurchase up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock. The share repurchase program may be modified or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2010, the Company repurchased the remaining 1,490,131 shares of common stock allowed to be repurchased under the 2007 Share Repurchase Program. Repurchased shares are held in treasury pending use for general corporate purposes.
