Description of Business Segments

Our operations are managed in four business segments: innerwear, outerwear, hosiery and international. Our innerwear, outerwear and hosiery segments principally sell products in the United States and our international segment exclusively sells products in foreign countries.

 

    Innerwear—The innerwear segment focuses on core apparel essentials, consisting of women’s intimate apparel, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, socks, thermals and sleepwear. The innerwear segment manufactures and outsources underwear, intimate apparel and sock products in the United States and off-shore. Our fiscal 2005 net sales from our innerwear segment were $2.7 billion, representing approximately 58% of net sales.

    Outerwear—The outerwear segment is composed of products sold in the casualwear and activewear markets. The outerwear segment manufactures and outsources casualwear and activewear products in the United States and off-shore. Our fiscal 2005 net sales from our outerwear segment were $1.3 billion, representing approximately 27% of net sales.

 

    Hosiery—The hosiery segment consists of women’s sheer hosiery. Our fiscal 2005 net sales from our hosiery segment were $353.5 million, representing approximately 7% of net sales. Consistent with a sustained decline in the hosiery industry due to changes in consumer preferences, our net sales from the hosiery segment have declined each year since fiscal 1995.

 

    International—The international segment is comprised of our innerwear, outerwear and hosiery products that we sell outside the United States. Fiscal 2005 net sales in our international segment were $354.5 million, representing approximately 8% of net sales and included sales in Asia, Canada and Latin America. Japan, Canada and Mexico are our largest international markets.
