Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Trends and Uncertainties Affecting Liquidity
 
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operating activities and availability under our revolving loan facility described below. The following has or is expected to negatively impact our liquidity:
 
  •  we have principal and interest obligations under our long-term debt;
 
  •  we expect to continue to invest in efforts to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs;
 
  •  we expect to continue to add new manufacturing capacity in Central America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia;
 
  •  we may need to increase the portion of the income of our foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the United States, which could significantly increase our income tax expense; and
 
  •  we expect to repurchase up to 10 million shares of our stock in the open market over the next few years, 1.6 million of which we have repurchased as of September 29, 2007.
 
We believe that our cash provided from operating activities, together with our available credit capacity, will enable us to comply with the terms of our indebtedness and meet presently foreseeable financial requirements.
 
We expect to continue the restructuring efforts that we have undertaken since the spin off from Sara Lee. For example, during the nine months ended September 29, 2007, in furtherance of our efforts to execute our consolidation and globalization strategy, we approved actions that will result in the closure of 14 manufacturing facilities and two distribution centers. The implementation of these efforts, which are designed to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs, has resulted and is likely to continue to result in significant costs. As further plans are developed and approved by management and our board of directors, we expect to recognize additional restructuring costs to eliminate duplicative functions within the organization and transition a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity to lower-cost locations in other countries. As a result of these efforts, we expect to incur approximately $250 million in restructuring and related charges over the three year period following the spin off from Sara Lee approximately half of which is expected to be noncash. As of September 29, 2007, we have recognized approximately $109 million in restructuring and related charges

related to these efforts. We also expect to continue to incur costs associated with the integration of our information technology systems across our company over the next several years.
 
As we continue to add new manufacturing capacity in Central America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia, our exposure to events that could disrupt our foreign supply chain, including political instability, acts of war or terrorism or other international events resulting in the disruption of trade, disruptions in shipping and freight forwarding services, increases in oil prices (which would increase the cost of shipping), interruptions in the availability of basic services and infrastructure and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, is increased. Disruptions in our foreign supply chain could negatively impact our liquidity by interrupting production in offshore facilities, increasing our cost of sales, disrupting merchandise deliveries, delaying receipt of the products into the United States or preventing us from sourcing our products at all. Depending on timing, these events could also result in lost sales, cancellation charges or excessive markdowns. For a discussion of these and other risk factors facing our business, see the risk factors section of our Report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 30, 2006 and “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
As a result of provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, we are required, commencing with plan years beginning after 2007, to make larger contributions to our pension plans than Sara Lee made with respect to these plans in past years. The final separation of our pension plan assets and liabilities from those of Sara Lee which will result in a higher total amount of pension assets being transferred to us than was originally estimated prior to the spin off, together with our contributions of $48 million in December 2006, $42 million in March 2007 and $6 million in September 2007 to our pension plans, has resulted in our qualified pension plans currently being approximately 97% funded which should result in minimal pension funding requirements in the future. We have met our minimum funding requirements for 2007.
 
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $236 million in the nine month period in 2007 compared to $201 million in the same nine month period in 2006. The higher cash provided from operating activities of $35 million was primarily the result of better management of working capital, which reflects $48 million in pension contributions, partially offset by lower earnings in the business primarily attributable to higher interest expense, a higher effective income tax rate and higher restructuring and related charges.
 
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $50 million in the nine month period in 2007 compared to $76 million in the same nine month period in 2006. The lower cash used in investing activities of $26 million was primarily the result of lower purchases of property and equipment and higher cash received from sales of property and equipment relating to our restructuring actions partially offset by the cash portion of the cost of acquiring of the textile manufacturing operations of Industrias Duraflex, S.A. de C.V. in El Salvador. While capital spending can vary from quarter to quarter, we anticipate that over the long term our capital expenditures will be approximately level with our annual depreciation of $110 million.
 
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
 
Net cash used in financing activities was $168 million in the nine month period in 2007 compared to $428 million in the same nine month period in 2006. The lower cash used in financing activities of $260 million was primarily the result of the elimination of net transactions with parent companies and related entities subsequent to the spin off from Sara Lee and lower net borrowings and repayments on notes payable to banks in the nine month period in 2007, partially offset by an increase in repayments of debt under credit facilities and share repurchases in the nine month period in 2007.
 
During the nine month period in 2007, we repaid $128 million of long-term debt, of which $125 million was a prepayment. In addition, we repurchased $44 million of company stock pursuant to a program approved by the Board of Directors in January 2007 which authorizes repurchase of up to 10 million shares of our common stock.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
As of September 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents were $176 million and $156 million, respectively. The higher cash and cash equivalents as of September 29, 2007 was primarily the result of better management of working capital and the elimination of net transactions with parent companies and related entities subsequent to the spin off from Sara Lee, partially offset by lower net income and the repayment of debt under credit facilities in 2007.
 
Revolving Loan Facility
 
We have significant liquidity based on our availability under the Revolving Loan Facility provided under the senior secured credit facility that we entered into in September 2006. As of September 29, 2007, $69 million of standby and trade letters of credit were issued under this facility and $431 million was available for borrowings.

As a result of provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, we are required, commencing with plan years beginning after 2007, to make larger contributions to our pension plans than Sara Lee made with respect to these plans in past years. We contributed $48 million in December 2006 and $42 million in March 2007 based upon minimum funding estimates. While these contribution payments fulfill our minimum funding requirements through fiscal 2007, if financial conditions change or if the assumptions we have used to calculate our pension costs and obligations turn out to be inaccurate, we could be required to make contributions to the pension plans in excess of our current expectations for future years. A significant increase in our funding obligations could have a negative impact on our liquidity. As of June 30, 2007, assets estimated to represent approximately 75% of the total assets for the Hanesbrands Inc. Pension and Retirement Plan have been transferred from Sara Lee’s master trust to the master trust we maintain. A final transfer of assets from Sara Lee’s master trust to the master trust maintained by us will occur later in fiscal 2007 once the allocation of assets and liabilities has been completed in accordance with governmental regulations. The fair value of plan assets represents a best estimate based upon a percentage allocation of total assets of Sara Lee’s master trust and will be adjusted once the final transfer is made, with an adjustment to the liability.
 
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $102 million in the six month period in 2007 compared to $144 million in the same six month period in 2006. The lower cash provided from operating activities of $42 million was the result of lower earnings in the business primarily attributable to higher interest expense and a higher effective income tax rate as a result of our independent structure as well as higher restructuring and related charges, a $42 million pension contribution and other changes in the use of working capital.
 
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $11 million in the six month period in 2007 compared to $58 million in the same six month period in 2006. The lower cash used in investing activities of $47 million was primarily the result of lower purchases of property and equipment and higher cash received from sales of property and equipment relating to our restructuring actions. While capital spending can vary from quarter to quarter, we anticipate that over the long term our capital expenditures will be approximately level with our annual depreciation of $110 million.
 
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
 
Net cash used in financing activities was $71 million in the six month period in 2007 compared to $301 million in the same six month period in 2006. The lower cash used in financing activities was primarily the result of the elimination of net transactions with parent companies and related entities subsequent to the spin off from Sara Lee and lower repayments on notes payable to banks in the six month period in 2007, partially offset by an increase in bank overdraft in the same six month period in 2006.
 
During the six month period in 2007, we paid down long-term debt by $53 million, of which $50 million was a prepayment. In addition, we repurchased $16 million of company stock pursuant to a program approved

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities
 
Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $1 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 from cash provided by operating activities of $102 million in the first quarter ended April 1, 2006. The $103 million decrease was primarily the result of lower earnings in the business due to higher interest expense, a $42 million pension contribution and changes in the use of working capital.
 
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $4 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $20 million in the first quarter ended April 1, 2006. The $16 million decrease was primarily the result of lower purchases of property and equipment and higher cash received from sales of property and equipment. While capital spending can vary from quarter to quarter, we anticipate that over the long term our capital expenditures will be approximately level with our annual depreciation of $110 million.
 
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
 
Net cash used in financing activities decreased to $3 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $137 million in the first quarter ended April 1, 2006. The decrease was primarily the result of the elimination of net transactions with parent companies and related entities subsequent to the spin off from Sara Lee and lower repayments on notes payable to banks in the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
As of March 31, 2007 and December 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents were $149 million and $156 million, respectively. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2007 was primarily the result of changes in working capital balances and a $42 million pension contribution.
 
Revolving Loan Facility
 
We have significant liquidity based on our availability under the Revolving Loan Facility provided under the senior secured credit facility that we entered into in September 2006. As of March 31, 2007, $73 million of standby and trade letters of credit were issued under this facility and $427 million was available for borrowings.
