Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 5, 2013, Hanesbrands Inc. (“HanesBrands”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 29, 2012. 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 adjusted EPS from continuing operations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, which are not generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measures. Adjusted EPS from continuing operations is defined as earnings per diluted share from continuing operations excluding the after-tax charge for bond prepayment expenses and acceleration of noncash unamortized debt costs associated with retiring $250 million of HanesBrands’ 8 percent senior notes due 2016. EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding $34 million in debt prepayment expenses incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. 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 an additional means of analyzing the company’s performance absent the effect of voluntary long-term debt prepayment. 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.
