Things To Note

Hanesbrands is focused on making incremental investments in its online business to keep pace with consumers’ evolving shopping patterns. Strength in the company’s Full Potential plan, designed around four pillars, namely, grow global Champion, re-ignite innerwear growth, drive consumer-centricity and focus the portfolio bodes well. In addition, the company has been benefiting from solid demand across its innerwear and activewear businesses.

For the third quarter, net sales from continuing operations are anticipated in the range of $1.78-$1.81 billion. The midpoint of the guidance suggests an increase of nearly 6% year over year and includes an expected gain of nearly $16 million from favorable currency movements. Excluding personal protective equipment, net sales at the midpoint are likely to have jumped 19%. Also, adjusted earnings per share are envisioned in the band of 45-48 cents for the to-be-reported quarter. The company had reported adjusted earnings of 42 cents in the same period last year.

Yet, on its last earnings call, management highlighted that the pandemic continues to impact the macroeconomic landscape. Additionally, global supply-chain bottlenecks and rising cost pressure remain concerns. Hanesbrands had earlier guided third-quarter adjusted operating profit in the range of $235-$245 million. At the midpoint, this indicates an operating margin of 13.4%, down from 14.3% posted in the year-ago quarter. Cost inflation and higher brand investment are likely to have affected operating margin in the quarter to be reported.
