EX-99 2 PILLOWTEX CORPORATION News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jeffrey D. Cordes President and COO 214/333-3225 ext. 202 April 9, 1998 -- Pillowtex Corporation (NYSE:PTX) (www.pillowtex.com) announced today that it has resolved the litigation brought against it by Louisville Bedding Company. The settlement will enable Pillowtex to continue to manufacture and sell its existing Adjust-A-Fit mattress pad product line without further claims by Louisville. Pillowtex presently anticipates that after giving effect to a non-recurring charge to be taken in connection with the settlement, its net earnings per share for the first fiscal quarter of 1998 will meet or exceed current analysts' consensus estimate of $.28 per share. Pillowtex Corporation, with annualized sales in excess of $1.6 billion, markets and manufactures home textile furnishings for the bedroom and bathroom. The company operates a network of manufacturing, purchasing and distribution facilities in the U.S. and Canada with approximately 14,000 employees. --- This press release contains certain forward-looking statements.
