Highlights
from the Quarter Ended September 30, 2006
Net sales of $1.12 billion were down by 1.7% from
$1.14 billion in the quarter ended October 1, 2005.
Discontinuance of low-margin product lines and lower sales of
sheer hosiery primarily accounted for the decrease.
Operating profit decreased by 9.6% to $93.9 million from
$103.8 million in the quarter ended October 1, 2005.
The operating profit decline in the current quarter primarily
reflected expenses associated with operating as an independent
company, nonrecurring spin off and related costs, and
restructuring and related charges for plant closures.
Net income was $50.3 million, down 39.1% from
$82.6 million in the quarter ended October 1, 2005.
The decrease in net income primarily reflects increased interest
expense, reduced operating profit and a higher income tax rate.
Interest expense, net increased in the quarter ended
September 30, 2006 to $17.6 million from
$4.1 million in the quarter ended October 1, 2005. The
increase is a result of higher debt incurred
31/2 weeks
before the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2006 as a
result of the spin off from Sara Lee. Long-term debt at the end
of the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was
$2.6 billion.
The income tax rate for the quarter ended September 30,
2006 was 34.0%, up from 17.2% in the quarter ended
October 1, 2005 as a result of our independent tax
structure.
The spin off from Sara Lee was completed on September 5,
2006. In connection with the spin off:
We incurred indebtedness of $2.6 billion pursuant to a new
$2.15 billion senior secured credit facility (which
includes a $500 million revolving facility that was undrawn
at the time of the spin off), a $450 million senior secured
second lien credit facility and a $500 million bridge loan
facility.
We paid a dividend of $1.95 billion to Sara Lee and repaid
a loan to Sara Lee in the amount of $450 million.
Sara Lee extinguished all amounts payable to or receivable from
Sara Lee and its related entities.
We assumed $299 million in unfunded employee benefit
liabilities for pension, postretirement and other retirement
benefit qualified and nonqualified plans from Sara Lee.
We assumed $38 million of liabilities in connection with
property, workers compensation, and other programs from
Sara Lee.
Our common stock began regular way trading on the
New York Stock Exchange under the symbol HBI on
September 6, 2006.
We granted stock-based compensation awards to employees and
non-employee directors.
We announced an action to close two domestic facilities and one
international facility which reduced income before taxes by
$13.7 million.
