In terms of its segments, the company reported:
- U.S. Innerwear segment sales decreased 3 percent, while operating profit decreased 10 percent as a result of raw material inflation and mix of products sold.

Gerald W. Evans Jr., Hanes CEO, commented:
Our results for the second-quarter were consistent with our guidance and the year is unfolding as we expected. We achieved organic growth for the fourth consecutive quarter with strong International and global Champion sales growth. We continue to address the challenging environment for intimate apparel and expect our turn-around plan to gain additional traction by the end of the year. Our cash flow from operations of $64 million in the second quarter was ahead of our expectations and the outlook is strong. We continue to expect margin expansion in the second half, primarily driven by additional acquisition synergies and organic sales growth.
Shares of Hanesbrands were last seen down about 19% at $17.98 on Wednesday, with a consensus analyst price target of $22.71 and a 52-week target range of $16.38 to $25.73.
