HanesBrands Reports First-Quarter 2019 Financial Results

HanesBrands (NYSE: HBI), a leading global marketer of everyday basic apparel under world-class brands, today announced first-quarter 2019 results that exceeded its guidance, including net sales growth of 8%, operating profit growth, and reduced debt leverage.

For the first quarter ended March 30, 2019, net sales increased 8% to $1.59 billion and organic sales in constant currency increased 10%, the seventh consecutive quarter of constant-currency organic growth. Sales were fueled by strong U.S. Activewear growth, broad-based International growth, and increased sales of U.S. Innerwear basics. Globally, strong Champion sales growth accelerated.

GAAP operating profit in the first quarter increased 1% to $148 million, while adjusted operating profit increased 2% to $169 million. GAAP diluted earnings per share in the quarter were $0.22, the same as a year ago, and adjusted EPS increased 4% to $0.27. (See the Note on Adjusted Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP Measures section later in this news release for additional discussion and details.)

“We are delighted to continue our business momentum with a very strong first quarter,” said Hanes Chief Executive Officer Gerald W. Evans Jr. “We are generating broad-based growth across businesses and geographies. Our brands are strong, and growth-related investment is delivering results. In addition to the acceleration of Champion growth globally, Innerwear sales increased in Asia, Australia and the Americas, and sales of U.S. Innerwear basics increased for the second consecutive quarter.

“Our cash generation is on plan, our debt leverage is coming down, and our diversified business portfolio is paying dividends. We feel confident in achieving our long-term goals and enhancing value creation with our business model.”

Callouts for First-Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Accelerated Growth Rates for Organic Net Sales and Champion. The 10% growth in constant-currency organic sales in the first quarter accelerated from the 6% growth rate in the fourth-quarter 2018. First-quarter sales for the Innerwear, Activewear and International segments all exceeded company expectations.

Growth initiatives drove a 75% increase in constant-currency global Champion sales outside the mass channel with strong double-digit increases in all regions. Contributors included: U.S. expansion across retail and online channels; strong wholesale expansion in northern and western Europe; strong wholesale and consumer-direct growth in Asia, including continued store openings in China and elsewhere; and distribution expansion beginning in Australia.

Total company consumer-direct sales, defined as brand retail stores and all online business, increased 16% in the first quarter. E-commerce sales increased for each of the Innerwear, Activewear and International segments.

Bad Debt Expense Lowers Operating Profit and EPS Results. The company incurred an unexpected bad debt charge of $4 million in the first quarter related to the insolvency of Heritage Sportswear, a U.S.-based apparel wholesaler for the screen-print industry. The charge affected both GAAP and adjusted operating profit and lowered GAAP and adjusted EPS by approximately $0.01.

Cash Flow on Track, Debt Leverage Reduced. Cash flow from operations was a use of $194 million in the first quarter, which was better than expected as a result of higher net income and improved working capital performance. The company’s debt leverage at the end of the quarter was 3.5 times adjusted EBITDA, down from 3.9 times a year ago. The company continues to expect the leverage ratio to decline to 2.9 times by the end of the year, which is within the company’s target range.

First-Quarter Business Segment Summaries

Innerwear Segment Results Better Than Guidance. U.S. Innerwear segment sales decreased 3% in the first quarter, compared with expectations of a 4% decrease. Operating profit increased 3%, with the operating margin improving 130 basis points to 22%.

Sales of Innerwear basics increased nearly 2%, while Innerwear intimates decreased in line with company expectations. Sales increased for underwear, socks, and shapewear, while the company’s bra turnaround initiatives are continuing. Sales of Innerwear in the online channel increased 6%.

Activewear Segment Sales and Profits Increased on Organic Growth. U.S. Activewear segment first-quarter sales increased 17% and operating profit increased 14%. Operating margin declined 30 basis points as the company invested in distribution to maintain service levels and fulfill accelerating demand for Champion products.

Champion sales increased more than 80% outside the mass channel. As expected, sales of Champion at mass retail declined approximately 3%.

Broad-based and Widespread Strength Drove Strong International Segment Growth. Despite stronger than expected currency headwinds in the quarter, International segment sales increased 13%, while operating profit increased 20%, benefiting from increased volume and integration synergies.

Organic constant-currency sales increased by more than a $100 million, up 18% with regional growth in Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas. The segment’s total innerwear and total activewear sales each increased.

Bras N Things growth, including increases in comparable-store sales, contributed to increased organic sales after the anniversary of its acquisition in February. The business contributed $18 million in non-organic sales prior to the acquisition anniversary.

2019 Financial Guidance

Hanes has reiterated its full-year 2019 financial guidance issued Feb. 7, 2019, and has issued guidance for the second quarter.

The company expects 2019 net sales of $6.885 billion to $6.985 billion, GAAP operating profit of $900 million to $930 million, adjusted operating profit of $955 million to $985 million, GAAP EPS of $1.59 to $1.67, adjusted EPS of $1.72 to $1.80, and net cash from operations of $700 million to $800 million.

At the midpoint, the 2019 guidance versus 2018 results represents net sales growth of approximately 2%; GAAP and adjusted operating profit growth of 5% and 2%, respectively; GAAP and adjusted EPS growth of 7% and 3%, respectively; and operating cash flow growth of 17%.

For the second quarter, net sales are expected to be approximately $1.735 billion to $1.765 billion. GAAP operating profit is expected to be $223 million to $233 million, and adjusted operating profit is expected to be $238 million to $248 million. GAAP EPS is expected to be $0.40 to $0.42, and adjusted EPS is expected to be $0.43 to $0.45.

Guidance Assumptions. Key assumptions in the company’s guidance include: a cautious outlook for the U.S. brick-and-mortar retail market, including continued door closures; continued progress in U.S. Innerwear revitalization initiatives; price increases and a conservative view on elasticity; negative effects of currency exchange rates; and increased marketing investment to support brand plans.

Organic sales in constant currency for 2019 are expected to increase approximately 3%. Adverse foreign currency exchange rates for the year are expected to reduce net sales as reported by approximately $115 million compared with last year, up from previous expectations of approximately $60 million. The estimate includes the $46 million impact in the first quarter compared with last year and an estimated $40 million impact expected in the second quarter compared with last year. For operating profit, adverse foreign currency exchange rates are expected to reduce full-year results as reported by $17 million compared with last year, up from previous expectations of a $7 million effect.

Segment Guidance. At the midpoint of full-year guidance, International segment net sales are expected to increase approximately 5% and constant-currency organic sales are expected to increase slightly more than 9%. Growth drivers are expected to be Champion sales growth in Asia and Europe and increased innerwear sales in Asia, Australia and the Americas, including the Hanes and Bonds brands. For the second quarter, International segment net sales on a reported basis are expected to increase approximately 1%.

U.S. Innerwear net sales at the midpoint of guidance for both the full year and second quarter are expected to decrease approximately 2%, reflecting a cautious outlook for the impact from retail door closings and benefits from price increases taken in the first quarter.

U.S. Activewear net sales growth at the midpoint of 2019 guidance is expected to approach 4%. Champion sales outside of the mass channel are expected to increase at double-digit rates each quarter, while the Champion mass business is expected to decrease by a low teens percentage, primarily in the second half of the year. Full-year sales for the remainder of the Activewear segment are expected to decrease with a larger decline in the second half as the company transitions to a focus on higher-margin products. The company expects margin expansion for the Activewear segment for the year. For the second quarter, Activewear segment sales are expected to increase approximately 11%.

Additional Guidance. The midpoint of 2019 guidance implies approximately 50 basis points of gross margin enhancement and 10 basis points of adjusted operating profit margin expansion.

GAAP operating profit in 2019 is expected to be affected by approximately $55 million in pretax charges, including $21 million taken in the first quarter and an expected $15 million in the second quarter, related to acquisition integration and other supply chain actions. Approximately $20 million of the full-year charges are expected to be noncash. The charges reflect the completion of all outstanding acquisition integrations as well as Western Hemisphere supply chain realignment that includes speed-to-market initiatives that are part of the revitalization strategy for U.S. Innerwear.

Hanes expects interest expense and other expenses to be approximately $224 million combined, with an estimated $56 million expected in the second quarter. The company expects capital expenditure investment of approximately $90 million to $100 million. A pension contribution of approximately $26 million made in the first quarter is reflected in operating cash flow guidance.

The company’s priority for use of excess operating cash flow is to pay down debt. The company’s debt leverage on a net-debt-to-adjusted-EBITDA basis is expected to be 2.9 times at year end. Consistent with the company’s seasonality, net cash from operations is expected to be a use in the first half.

The company expects an annual effective tax rate of approximately 14% and expects approximately 366 million shares outstanding, a slight increase versus 2018. For the second quarter, the company expects an effective tax rate of approximately 14% and slightly more than 365 million shares outstanding.

Hanes has updated its quarterly frequently-asked-questions document, which is available at www.Hanes.com/faq.

Note on Adjusted Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP Measures

To supplement financial guidance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the company provides quarterly and full-year results and guidance concerning certain non‐GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EPS, adjusted net income, adjusted operating profit and margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted gross profit and margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. Adjusted net income is defined as net income from continuing operations excluding actions and the tax effect on actions. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit excluding actions. Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding actions. Adjusted SG&A is defined as selling, general and administrative expenses excluding actions.

Charges for actions taken in 2018 primarily represent acquisition and integration costs related to Hanes Europe Innerwear, Hanes Australasia, Champion Europe, Alternative Apparel and Bras N Things, and other costs related to supply chain network changes. Charges for actions expected to be taken in 2019 primarily represent supply chain network changes and overhead reduction as well as completion of outstanding acquisition integration. Acquisition and integration costs include legal fees, consulting fees, bank fees, severance costs, certain purchase accounting items, facility closures, inventory write-offs, information technology integration costs and similar charges. While these costs are not operational in nature and are not expected to continue for any singular transaction on an ongoing basis, similar types of costs, expenses and charges have occurred in prior periods and may recur in future periods depending upon acquisition activity.

Hanes has chosen to present these non‐GAAP measures to investors to enable additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means of evaluating operations absent the effect of acquisitions and other actions. Hanes believes these non-GAAP measures provide management and investors with valuable supplemental information for analyzing the operating performance of the company’s ongoing business during each period presented without giving effect to costs associated with the execution and integration of any of the aforementioned actions taken.

In addition, the company has chosen to present EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA to investors because it considers these measures to be an important supplemental means of evaluating operating performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding actions and stock compensation expense. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. These metrics are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry, and management uses the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes in connection with setting its capital allocation strategy. These metrics should not, however, be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.

Hanes is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. As a supplement to the company’s reported operating results, Hanes also presents constant-currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. The company uses constant-currency information to provide a framework to assess how the business performed compared to prior-year reporting periods excluding the effects of changes in the rates used to calculate foreign currency translation.

To calculate foreign currency translation on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current-year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period).

Organic net sales are net sales excluding those derived from businesses acquired within the previous 12 months of a reporting date.

Hanes believes this information is useful to management and investors to facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in the company’s businesses.

Non‐GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP measures presented may be different from non-GAAP measures with similar or identical names presented by other companies.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release.

  Hanesbrands is unable to reconcile projections for net debt to EBITDA, as adjusted, as of the end of the 2019 fiscal year without unreasonable efforts, because the Company cannot predict, without unreasonable effort and otherwise to a reasonable degree of certainty, the exact amount of certain items that would impact this ratio, such as debt balances, revenue, tax rates, interest expense and stock compensation expense.
