Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On February 24, 2009, Hanesbrands Inc. (“Hanesbrands”) issued a press release discussing its
long-term growth strategies, capital structure and perspective on the 2009 business environment. 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 operating profit excluding actions, operating profit
margin excluding actions, diluted earnings per share excluding actions and gross margin excluding actions, which are
considered non-GAAP performance measures, that Hanesbrands has chosen to provide to investors to
enable them to perform additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as
a supplemental means of evaluating Hanesbrands’ operations. The 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. Exhibit 99,1 also contains disclosures about adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP performance
measure that consists of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as
defined under Hanesbrands’ first lien credit agreement.
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking financial information
that is expected to be discussed during the previously announced meeting with investors and
