Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On July 20, 2011, Hanesbrands Inc. (“HanesBrands”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the second quarter ended July 2, 2011. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Exhibit 99.1 is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall Exhibit 99.1 be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Exhibit 99.1 contains disclosures about EBITDA, net debt, net-debt leverage ratio, and free cash flow, which are not generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measures. EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Net debt is defined as the total of notes payable, current portion of debt and long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents. The year-end net-debt leverage ratio is calculated by dividing net debt by full-year EBITDA. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net capital expenditures. HanesBrands has chosen to provide these measures to investors to enable additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means of evaluating HanesBrands’ operations. This non-GAAP information should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP or other pro forma measures used by other companies.
