This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue” or similar expressions. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements regarding our intent, belief and current expectations about our strategic direction, prospects and future results are forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. In particular, statements with respect to trends associated with our business, our Full Potential plan, our future financial performance and the potential effects of the ongoing global novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q specifically appearing under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” include forward-looking statements.
More information on factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated is included from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021, under the caption “Risk Factors,” and available on the “Investors” section of our corporate website, www.Hanes.com/investors.

(1) Basis of Presentation
These statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, in accordance with those rules and regulations, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of Hanesbrands Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Hanesbrands”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein. The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
In the first quarter of 2021, the Company announced that as part of its strategic plan, it was exploring alternatives for its European Innerwear business and subsequently reached the decision to exit this business. The Company determined that its European Innerwear business met held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Accordingly, the Company began to separately report the results of its European Innerwear business as discontinued operations in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and to present the related assets and liabilities as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes have been applied to all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, discussion within these notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements relates to continuing operations. See note “Discontinued Operations” for additional information.
(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The new accounting rules reduce complexity by removing specific exceptions to general principles related to intraperiod tax allocations, ownership changes in foreign investments, and interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The new accounting rules also simplify accounting for franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” In January 2021, the FASB clarified the scope of that guidance with the issuance of ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform: Scope.” The new accounting rules provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this standard can be adopted any time before the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.

Codification Improvements
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, “Codification Improvements.” The new accounting rules improve the consistency of the Codification by including all disclosure guidance in the appropriate Disclosure Section (Section 50) that had only been included in the Other Presentation Matters Section (Section 45) of the Codification. Additionally, the new rules also clarify guidance across various topics including defined benefit plans, foreign currency transactions, and interest expense. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
(3) Discontinued Operations
In the first quarter of 2021, the Company announced that as part of its strategic plan, it was exploring alternatives for its European Innerwear business and subsequently reached the decision to exit this business. The Company determined that its European Innerwear business met held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Accordingly, the Company began to separately report the results of its European Innerwear business as discontinued operations in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and to present the related assets and liabilities as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes have been applied to all periods presented. The Company is actively marketing the business to prospective buyers and expects to complete the sale of this business before the end of the first quarter of 2022.
The operations of the European Innerwear business were previously reported primarily in the International segment. Certain expenses related to its operations were included in general corporate expenses, restructuring and other action-related charges and amortization of intangibles which were previously excluded from segment operating profit and have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. Discontinued operations does not include any allocation of corporate overhead expense or interest expense.
Upon meeting the criteria for held for sale classification which qualified as a triggering event, the Company performed a full impairment analysis of the disposal group's indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. As a result of the strategic decision to exit the European Innerwear business, a strategic review was completed in the first quarter of 2021 with revised forecasts to include updated market conditions and the removal of strategic operating decisions that would no longer occur under the Company's ownership. The revised forecasts indicated impairment charges of certain indefinite-lived trademarks and license agreements as well as the full goodwill balance. A non-cash charge of $155,745 was recorded as "Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill" in the summarized discontinued operations financial information for the six months ended July 3, 2021. In addition, the Company recorded non-cash charges of $9,828 and $236,180 as "Loss on classification of assets held for sale" in the summarized discontinued operations financial information for the quarter and the six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively, to record a valuation allowance against the net assets held for sale to write down the carrying value of the disposal group to the estimated fair value less costs of disposal. The non-cash charge recorded in the quarter ended July 3, 2021 resulted from changes in working capital balances and foreign exchange rates. The Company will continue to assess the valuation allowance in each interim period until the European Innerwear business is sold. Additionally, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $7,302 in continuing operations on an indefinite-lived trademark for the six months ended July 3, 2021 which is reflected in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. This charge relates to the full impairment of an indefinite-lived trademark related to a specific brand within the European Innerwear business that was excluded from the disposal group as it is not being marketed for sale. The Company intends to exit this brand subsequent to the sale of the European Innerwear business.
During the second quarter of 2020, the Company completed a quantitative impairment analysis for certain indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their performance. Based on this analysis, the Company recorded impairment charges of $20,319 on certain indefinite-lived trademarks and other intangible assets within the European Innerwear business which are reflected in the “Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill” line in the summarized discontinued operations financial information for the quarter and six months ended June 27, 2020.
The Company expects to continue certain sales from its supply chain to the European Innerwear business after the sale of the business. Those sales and the related profit are included in continuing operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and in “Other” in note “Business Segment Information” in all periods presented and have not been eliminated as intercompany transactions in consolidation. The related receivables from the European Innerwear business have been reclassified to “Trade accounts receivable, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented.

(4) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied, which occurs at a point in time, upon either shipment or delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, which includes estimates for variable consideration. Variable consideration includes trade discounts, rebates, volume-based incentives, cooperative advertising and product returns, which are offered within contracts between the Company and its customers, employing the practical expedient for contract costs. Incidental items that are immaterial to the context of the contract are recognized as expense at the transaction date.
The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by the customer’s method of purchase:

Revenue Sources
Third-Party Brick-and-Mortar Wholesale Revenue
Third-party brick-and-mortar wholesale revenue is primarily generated by sales of the Company’s products to retailers to support their brick-and-mortar operations. Also included within third-party brick-and-mortar wholesale revenue is royalty revenue from licensing agreements. The Company earns royalties through license agreements with manufacturers of other consumer products that incorporate certain of the Company’s brands. The Company accrues revenue earned under these contracts based upon reported sales from the licensees. Additionally, in the quarter and six months ended June 27, 2020, third-party brick-and-mortar wholesale revenue included $514,256 of revenue from contracts with governments generated from the sale of both cloth face coverings and gowns for use during the COVID-19 pandemic. Receivables from government contracts of $484,162 were included in “Trade accounts receivable, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 27, 2020.
Consumer-Directed Revenue
Consumer-directed revenue is primarily generated through sales driven directly by the consumer through company-operated stores and e-commerce platforms, which include both owned sites and the sites of the Company’s retail customers.

(5) Stockholders’ Equity
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) was computed by dividing net income (loss) by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS was calculated to give effect to all potentially issuable dilutive shares of common stock using the treasury stock method.
The reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:

On July 27, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share on outstanding shares of common stock to be paid on August 31, 2021 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 10, 2021.
On February 6, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program for up to 40,000 shares to be repurchased in open market transactions, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Additionally, management has been granted authority to establish one or more trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act in connection with share repurchases, which will allow the Company to repurchase shares in the open market during periods in which the stock trading window is otherwise closed for the Company and certain of the Company’s officers and employees pursuant to the Company’s insider trading policy. Unless terminated earlier by the Company’s Board of Directors, the new program will expire when the Company has repurchased all shares authorized for repurchase under the new program. The new program replaced the Company’s previous share repurchase program for up to 40,000 shares that was originally approved in 2016. For the quarters ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 and the six months ended July 3, 2021, the Company did not enter into any transactions to repurchase shares under the new program. For the six months ended June 27, 2020, the Company entered into transactions to repurchase 14,464 shares at a weighted average repurchase price of $13.83 per share under the new program. The shares were repurchased at a total cost of $200,269. At July 3, 2021, the remaining repurchase authorization under the current share repurchase program totaled 25,536 shares. The primary objective of the share repurchase program is to utilize excess cash to generate shareholder value. Share repurchases were previously prohibited under the Senior Secured Credit Facility as a result of the amendment signed in April 2020. The Company terminated such amendment when it submitted its April 3, 2021 compliance certificate in order to reduce interest expense and increase flexibility for restricted payments, investments, indebtedness, and permitted acquisitions.

As of July 3, 2021, the Company had $995,824 of borrowing availability under the $1,000,000 Revolving Loan Facility after taking into account $4,176 of standby and trade letters of credit issued and outstanding under this facility. In March 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of Term Loan B which consisted of a required excess cash flow prepayment of $238,936 and a voluntary prepayment of $61,064.
The Company’s accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility”) entered into in November 2007 was amended in March 2021. The latest amendment decreased the fluctuating facility limit to $175,000 (previously $225,000) and extended the maturity date to June 2022. Additionally, the amendment changed certain ratios and borrowing base calculations, raised pricing and added certain receivables to the pledged collateral pool for the facility. Borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility are permitted only to the extent that the face of the receivables in the collateral pool, net of applicable reserves and other deductions, exceeds the outstanding loans and also subject to a fluctuating facility limit, not to exceed $175,000. The Company’s maximum borrowing capacity under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility was $150,000 as of July 3, 2021. The Company had $88,833 of borrowing availability under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility at July 3, 2021.
The Company had $44,994 of borrowing availability under the Australian Revolving Loan Facility and $33,610 of borrowing availability under other international credit facilities after taking into account outstanding borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the applicable facilities at July 3, 2021. The Australian Revolving Loan Facility, originally entered into in July 2016, was amended in July 2021 to extend the maturity date to July 2022 and to reduce the bilateral cash advance limit from A$50,000 to A$46,000 with an offsetting increase in the bank overdraft limit from A$10,000 to A$14,000.
In April 2020, given the rapidly changing business environment and level of uncertainty being created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated impact on future earnings, the Company amended its Senior Secured Credit Facility prior to any

potential covenant violation in order to modify the financial covenants and to provide operating flexibility during the COVID-19 crisis. The amendment changed certain provisions and covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility through the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2021, after which the covenants were to revert to their original, pre-amendment levels. The Company voluntarily terminated the covenant relief amendment when it submitted its April 3, 2021 compliance certificate in order to reduce interest expense and increase flexibility for restricted payments, investments, indebtedness, and permitted acquisitions. After termination, the covenants reverted to their original, pre-amendment levels for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2021.
As of July 3, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit facilities and other outstanding indebtedness. Under the terms of its Senior Secured Credit Facility, among other financial and non-financial covenants, the Company is required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. The interest coverage ratio covenant is the ratio of the Company’s EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters to its consolidated total interest expense and the maximum leverage ratio covenant is the ratio of the Company’s net debt to EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation expense and amortization, as computed pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
The Company expects to maintain compliance with its covenants for at least one year from the date of these financial statements based on its current expectations and forecasts. If economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic do not continue to improve or otherwise worsen, including as a result of any new virus variants or vaccine distribution or efficacy, and the Company’s earnings and operating cash flows do not continue to recover as currently estimated by management, this could impact the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with its financial covenants and require the Company to seek additional amendments to its Senior Secured Credit Facility. If the Company is not able to obtain such necessary additional amendments, this would lead to an event of default and, if not cured timely, its lenders could require the Company to repay its outstanding debt. In that situation, the Company may not be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay the lenders.

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts and cross-currency swap contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on foreign currency-denominated transactions, foreign currency-denominated investments and other known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.
On April 1, 2021, in connection with a reduction in the amount of the 3.5% Senior Notes designated in the European net investment hedge discussed below, the Company entered into three pay-fixed rate, receive-fixed rate cross-currency swap contracts with a total notional amount of €300,000. The Company designated these cross-currency swap contracts to hedge the undesignated portion of the foreign currency cash flow exposure related to the Company’s 3.5% Senior Notes, which had a carrying amount of €500,000 as of July 3, 2021. These cross-currency swap contracts, which mature on June 15, 2024, swap Euro-denominated interest payments for U.S. dollar-denominated interest payments, thereby economically converting €300,000 of the Company’s €500,000 fixed-rate 3.5% Senior Notes to a fixed-rate 4.7945% USD-denominated obligation.
The Company expects to reclassify into earnings during the next 12 months a net loss from AOCI of approximately $12,581. The Company is hedging exposure to the variability in future foreign currency-denominated cash flows for forecasted transactions over the next 15 months and for long-term debt over the next 36 months.

Net Investment Hedges
In July 2019, the Company entered into two pay-fixed rate, receive-fixed rate cross-currency swap contracts with a total notional amount of €300,000 that were designated as hedges of a portion of the beginning balance of the Company’s net investment in certain European subsidiaries. These cross-currency swap contracts, which mature on May 15, 2024, swap U.S. dollar-denominated interest payments for Euro-denominated interest payments, thereby economically converting a portion of the Company’s fixed-rate 4.625% Senior Notes to a fixed-rate 2.3215% Euro-denominated obligation.
In July 2019, the Company also designated the full amount of its 3.5% Senior Notes with a carrying value of €500,000, which is a nonderivative financial instrument, as a hedge of a portion of the beginning balance of the Company’s European net investment. As of April 1, 2021, the Company reduced the amount of its 3.5% Senior Notes designated in the European net investment hedge from €500,000 to €200,000. As of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the U.S. dollar equivalent carrying value of Euro-denominated long-term debt designated as a partial European net investment hedge was $237,304 and $610,724, respectively.

Mark to Market Hedges
A derivative used as a hedging instrument whose change in fair value is recognized to act as a hedge against changes in the values of the hedged item is designated as a mark to market hedge. The Company uses forward foreign exchange derivative contracts as hedges against the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on existing accounts receivable and payable balances and intercompany lending transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Forward foreign exchange derivative contracts are recorded as mark to market hedges when the hedged item is a recorded asset or liability that is revalued in each accounting period. These contracts are not designated as hedges under the accounting standards and are recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized directly into earnings. Gains or losses on these contracts largely offset the net remeasurement gains or losses on the related assets and liabilities.

(10) Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
As of July 3, 2021, the Company held certain financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These consisted of the Company’s derivative instruments related to forward foreign exchange derivative contracts, cross-currency swap derivative contracts and deferred compensation plan liabilities. The fair values of forward foreign exchange derivative contracts are determined using the cash flows of the forward contracts, discount rates to account for the passage of time and current foreign exchange market data which are all based on inputs readily available in public markets and are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of cross-currency swap derivative contracts are determined using the cash flows of the swap contracts, discount rates to account for the passage of time, current foreign exchange and interest rate market data and credit risk, which are all based on inputs readily available in public markets and are categorized as Level 2. The fair value of deferred compensation plans is based on readily available current market data and is categorized as Level 2. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan investments are not required to be measured at fair value on a quarterly recurring basis.
There were no changes during the quarter and six months ended July 3, 2021 to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis. As of and during the quarter and six months ended July 3, 2021, the Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities within continuing operations accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021. The carrying amount of trade accounts receivable included allowance for doubtful accounts, chargebacks and other deductions of $60,504 and $48,745 as of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively. The fair value of debt, which is classified as a Level 2 liability, was $3,921,200 and $4,230,985 as of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively. Debt had a carrying value of $3,712,011 and $4,035,724 as of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively. The fair values were estimated using quoted market prices as provided in secondary markets, which consider the Company’s credit risk and market related conditions. The carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable, which is classified as a Level 2 liability, approximated fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
(11) Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 14.6% and 12.7% for the quarters ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 12.6% and 12.7% for the six months ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the quarter ended July 3, 2021 was primarily due to the COVID-19 related change in jurisdictional mix of income experienced during the quarter ended June 27, 2020.
The Company is subject to examinations in the U.S., various state and foreign jurisdictions and believes that it maintains appropriate accruals for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, which are evaluated each quarter. During the six months ended July 3, 2021, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, decreased by $8,060, of which $6,679 was a discrete reduction of the effective income tax rate. The decrease was related to expirations of statutes of limitations and approvals of certain filings with income tax authorities.
(12) Business Segment Information
The Company’s operations are managed and reported in three operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Activewear and International. These segments are organized principally by product category and geographic location. Each segment has its own management team that is responsible for the operations of the segment’s businesses, but the segments share a common supply chain and media and marketing platforms. Other consists of the Company’s U.S.-based outlet stores, U.S. hosiery business and certain sales from its supply chain to the European Innerwear business.
The types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues are as follows:
•Innerwear includes sales in the United States of basic branded apparel products that are replenishment in nature under the product categories of men’s underwear, women’s panties, children’s underwear and socks, and intimate apparel, which includes bras and shapewear. Innerwear also includes sales of personal protective equipment including products such as cloth face coverings and gowns in 2020.
•Activewear includes sales in the United States of basic branded products that are primarily seasonal in nature to both retailers and wholesalers, as well as licensed sports apparel and licensed logo apparel in collegiate bookstores, mass retailers and other channels.
•International includes sales of products in all of the Company’s categories outside the United States, primarily in Australasia, Europe, Asia, Canada and Latin America.

Overview
Hanesbrands Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a socially responsible leading marketer of everyday basic innerwear and activewear apparel in the Americas, Australia, Europe and Asia/Pacific under some of the world’s strongest apparel brands, including Hanes, Champion, Bonds, Bali, Maidenform, Playtex, Bras N Things, JMS/Just My Size, Wonderbra, Alternative, Berlei, L’eggs and Gear for Sports. We sell T-shirts, bras, panties, shapewear, underwear, socks, hosiery and activewear produced in our low-cost global supply chain. Our products are marketed to consumers shopping in mass merchants, mid-tier and department stores, specialty stores and the consumer-directed channel, which includes our owned retail locations, as well as e-commerce sites. Our brands hold either the number one or number two market position by units sold in many of the product categories and geographies in which we compete.
Our operations are managed and reported in three operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Activewear and International. These segments are organized principally by product category and geographic location. Each segment has its own management team that is responsible for the operations of the segment’s businesses, but the segments share a common supply chain and media and marketing platforms. Other consists of our U.S.-based outlet stores, U.S. hosiery business and certain sales from our supply chain to the European Innerwear business.
Our Key Business Strategies
Our business strategy integrates our brand superiority, industry-leading innovation and low-cost global supply chain to provide higher value products while lowering production costs. We operate in the global innerwear and global activewear apparel categories. These are stable, heavily branded categories where we have a strong consumer franchise based on a global portfolio of industry-leading brands that we have built over multiple decades, through hundreds of millions of direct interactions with consumers. In 2020, we undertook a comprehensive global business review focused on building consumer-centric growth. The review resulted in our Full Potential plan, which is our multi-year growth strategy that focuses on four pillars to drive growth and enhance long-term profitability and identifies initiatives to unlock growth. Our four pillars of growth are to grow the Champion brand globally, drive growth in Innerwear with brands and products that appeal to younger consumers, drive consumer-centricity by delivering innovative products and improving awareness through investments in brand marketing and digital capabilities, and streamline our global portfolio. In order to deliver this growth and create a more efficient and productive business model, we have launched a multi-year cost savings program intended to self-fund the investments necessary to achieve the Full Potential plan’s objectives. We remain highly confident that our strong brand portfolio, world-class supply chain and diverse category and geographic footprint will help us unlock our full potential, deliver long-term growth and create stockholder value.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, we began the implementation of our Full Potential plan and as part of our strategy to streamline our portfolio, we determined that our personal protective equipment (“PPE”) business was no longer a growth opportunity for our company and recorded a charge to write down our entire PPE inventory balance to its estimated net realizable value.
In the first quarter of 2021, we announced that as part of our strategic plan, we were exploring alternatives for our European Innerwear business and subsequently reached the decision to exit this business. We determined that our European Innerwear business met held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria during the first quarter of 2021. Accordingly, we began to separately report the results of our European Innerwear business as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and to present the related assets and liabilities as held for sale in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets. See note “Discontinued Operations” to our condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on discontinued operations.
Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our business operations and financial results for the second quarter and six months ended 2021 and 2020 as described in more detail under “Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations - Second Quarter Ended July 3, 2021 Compared with Second Quarter Ended June 27, 2020” and “Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations - Six Months Ended July 3, 2021 Compared with Six Months Ended June 27, 2020” below, primarily through reduced traffic and closures of company-operated and third-party retail locations for portions of each of the periods in certain markets. Global supply chain disruptions have also resulted in higher operating costs and higher levels of inflation. The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly uncertain, and our business and results of operations, including our net revenues, earnings and cash flows, could continue to be adversely impacted.
Outlook for 2021
We estimate our 2021 guidance as follows:
•Net sales of $6.75 billion to $6.85 billion;
•Operating profit of $795 million to $825 million;
•Full Potential plan-related charges of approximately $85 million reflected in operating profit;
•Interest expense and other expenses of approximately $182 million combined;
•An annual effective tax rate from continuing operations of approximately 13%;
•Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations from $1.50 to $1.58;
•Cash flow from operating activities of approximately $550 million; and
•Capital expenditures of approximately $100 million.
Seasonality and Other Factors
Absent the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, our operating results are typically subject to some variability due to seasonality and other factors. For instance, we have historically generated higher sales during the back-to-school and holiday shopping seasons and during periods of cooler weather, which benefits certain product categories such as fleece. Sales levels in any period are also impacted by our customers’ decisions to increase or decrease their inventory levels in response to anticipated consumer demand. Our customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice to us. Media, advertising and promotion expenses may vary from period to period during a fiscal year depending on the timing of our advertising campaigns for retail selling seasons and product introductions.
Although the majority of our products are replenishment in nature and tend to be purchased by consumers on a planned, rather than on an impulse basis, our sales are impacted by discretionary consumer spending trends. Discretionary spending is affected by many factors that are outside our control, including, among others, general business conditions, interest rates, inflation, consumer debt levels, the availability of consumer credit, currency exchange rates, taxation, energy prices, unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending. Consumers’ purchases of discretionary items, including our products, could decline during periods when disposable income is lower, when prices increase in response to rising costs, or in periods of actual or perceived unfavorable economic conditions. As a result, consumers may choose to purchase fewer of our products, to purchase lower-priced products of our competitors in response to higher prices for our products, or may choose not to purchase our products at prices that reflect our price increases that become effective from time to time.
Changes in product sales mix can impact our gross profit as the percentage of our sales attributable to higher margin products, such as intimate apparel and men’s underwear, and lower margin products, such as seasonal and replenishable activewear, fluctuate from time to time. In addition, sales attributable to higher and lower margin products within the same product category fluctuate from time to time. Our customers may change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice to us, which makes trends in product sales mix difficult to predict. However, certain changes in product sales mix are seasonal in nature, as sales of socks, hosiery and fleece products generally have higher sales during the last two quarters (July to December) of each fiscal year as a result of cooler weather, back-to-school shopping and holidays, while other changes in product mix may be attributable to consumers’ preferences and discretionary spending.

Net Sales
Net sales increased 13% during the second quarter of 2021 versus the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to the following:
•Retailers continuing to replenish inventory levels as well as pent-up consumer demand as stores reopened after temporary closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and incremental sales partially as a result of higher U.S. government stimulus spending;
•Lower second quarter 2020 sales due to COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns; and
•The favorable impact from foreign exchange rates in our International business of approximately $51 million.
Partially offset by:
•The exit of the PPE business, which contributed net sales of $614 million in the second quarter of 2020.
Operating Profit
Operating profit as a percentage of net sales was 12.4%, representing a decrease from 13.1% in the prior year. Operating margins benefited from fixed cost leverage from higher sales of core apparel and the favorable impact from foreign exchange rates, which was more than offset by higher freight costs and sourcing premiums to service demand, higher investments in brand marketing and higher compensation costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2020 benefited from temporary cost savings initiatives implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The second quarter of 2020 included operating profit related to the PPE business that was exited.
Included in operating profit in the second quarter of 2021 were charges of $19 million related to the implementation of our Full Potential plan. Included in operating profit in the second quarter of 2020 were charges of $32 million related to supply chain actions, program exits, asset write-down charges recorded as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and other actions.
Other Highlights
Other Expenses – Other expenses decreased $3 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to lower pension expense in 2021.
Interest Expense – Interest expense was higher by $1 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 due to interest expense on cross-currency swap contracts entered into on April 1, 2021 that are being used to hedge foreign currency cash flows. Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 4.17% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 3.71% for the second quarter of 2020. The increase in interest expense due to a higher weighted average interest rate during the quarter was offset by lower outstanding debt balances during the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020.
Income Tax Expense – Our effective income tax rate was 14.6% and 12.7% for the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the COVID-19 related change in jurisdictional mix of income experienced during the quarter ended June 27, 2020.
DiscontinuedOperations – The results of our discontinued operations include the operations of our European Innerwear business which we reached the decision to exit at the end of the first quarter of 2021 in connection with our Full Potential plan. See note “Discontinued Operations” to our condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of a non-cash charge to record a valuation allowance against the net assets held for sale to write down the carrying value to the estimated fair value less costs of disposal.

Innerwear
Innerwear net sales decreased 29% compared to the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to our exit of the PPE business in 2021 as a result of the implementation of our Full Potential plan. Net sales of PPE represented $614 million of the decrease in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. This decrease was partially offset by a 48% and a 150% increase in net sales in our basics and intimate apparel businesses, respectively, primarily as a result of lower sales in the second quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns, retailers continuing to replenish inventory levels and pent-up consumer demand as stores reopened after temporary closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and incremental sales partially as a result of higher U.S. government stimulus spending.
Innerwear operating margin was 23.8%, a decrease from 27.8% in the same period a year ago due to fixed cost deleverage from lower sales, higher freight costs and sourcing premiums to service demand, higher investments in brand marketing and higher compensation costs. The second quarter of 2020 included operating profit related to the PPE business that was exited.
Activewear
Activewear net sales increased 140% compared to the second quarter last year driven by lower sales in the second quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns and incremental sales partially as a result of higher U.S. government stimulus spending. We experienced growth in all product categories.
Activewear operating margin was 10.2%, an increase from (3.4)% in the same period a year ago. Operating margin improvement resulted primarily from fixed cost leverage from higher sales, which more than offset higher investments in brand marketing.
Net sales in the International segment increased 91% as a result of lower sales in the second quarter of 2020 due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $51 million in the second quarter of 2021. International net sales on a constant currency basis, defined as net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency, increased 70%. The impact of foreign exchange rates is calculated by applying prior period exchange rates to the current year financial results. Net sales in certain of our international markets continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19 related shutdowns.
International operating margin was 12.9%, an increase from 2.1% in the same period a year ago. Operating margin improvement resulted primarily from fixed cost leverage from higher sales, sales mix and the favorable impact from foreign exchange rates.
Other
Other net sales increased as a result of increased sales at our retail outlets during the second quarter of 2021 as a result of stores reopening after temporary store closures during the second quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating margin increased due to the increase in sales volume.
We expect to continue certain sales from our supply chain to the European Innerwear business after the sale of the business. Those sales and the related profit are included in Other in all periods presented and have not been eliminated as intercompany transactions in consolidation.
Corporate
Corporate expenses were lower in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 due to lower restructuring and other action-related charges. Included in restructuring and other action-related charges in the second quarter of 2021 were $19 million of charges related to the implementation of our Full Potential plan. Included in restructuring and other action-related charges in the second quarter of 2020 were $24 million of asset write-down charges recorded as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Supply chain actions include actions to reduce overhead costs. Program exit charges are costs associated with exiting the C9 Champion mass program and the DKNY intimate apparel license at the end of 2019. Other charges in the second quarter of 2020 include action-related costs such as workforce reductions.

Net sales increased 19% during the six months of 2021 versus the six months of 2020 primarily due to the following:
•Retailers continuing to replenish inventory levels as well as pent-up consumer demand as stores reopened after temporary closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and incremental sales partially as a result of higher U.S. government stimulus spending;
•Lower sales in the six months of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns; and
•The favorable impact from foreign exchange rates in our International business of approximately $94 million.
Partially offset by:
•The exit of the PPE business, which contributed net sales of $614 million in the six months of 2020.
Operating Profit
Operating profit as a percentage of net sales was 12.5%, representing an increase from 9.1% in the prior year. Increased operating profit was the result of higher sales and the favorable impact from foreign exchange rates, which more than offset higher freight costs and sourcing premiums to service demand, higher investments in brand marketing, higher distribution and selling expenses related to higher sales volume and higher compensation costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months of 2020 benefited from temporary cost savings initiatives implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The six months of 2020 included operating profit related to the PPE business that was exited.
Included in operating profit in the six months of 2021 were charges of $38 million related to the implementation of our Full Potential plan. Included in operating profit in the six months of 2021 were charges of $57 million related to supply chain actions, program exits, asset write-down charges recorded as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and other actions.
Other Highlights
Other Expenses – Other expenses decreased $6 million in the six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to lower pension expense and lower funding fees for sales of accounts receivable to financial institutions in 2021.
Interest Expense – Interest expense was higher by $10 million in the six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, driven by a higher weighted average interest rate on our borrowings during the six months of 2021 and interest expense on cross-currency swap contracts entered into on April 1, 2021 that are being used to hedge foreign currency cash flows. Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 4.12% for the six months of 2021, compared to 3.81% for the six months of 2020.
Income Tax Expense – Our effective income tax rate was 12.6% and 12.7% for the six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months of 2021 is consistent with the effective tax rate for the six months of 2020.
DiscontinuedOperations – The results of our discontinued operations include the operations of our European Innerwear business which we reached the decision to exit at the end of the first quarter of 2021 in connection with our Full Potential plan. See note “Discontinued Operations” to our condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of non-cash asset impairment charges and non-cash charges to record a valuation allowance against the net assets held for sale to write down the carrying value to the estimated fair value less costs of disposal.

Innerwear
Innerwear net sales decreased 11% compared to the six months of 2020 primarily due to our exit of the PPE business in 2021 as a result of the implementation of our Full Potential plan. Net sales of PPE represented $614 million of the decrease in the six months of 2021 compared to the six months of 2020. This decrease was partially offset by a 44% and a 77% increase in net sales in our basics and intimate apparel businesses, respectively, primarily as a result of lower sales in the six months of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns, retailers continuing to replenish inventory levels and pent-up consumer demand as stores reopened after temporary closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and incremental sales partially as a result of higher U.S. government stimulus spending.
Innerwear operating margin was 23.2%, a decrease from 25.4% in the same period a year ago due to fixed cost deleverage from lower sales, higher freight costs and sourcing premiums to service demand, higher investments in brand marketing and higher compensation costs. The six months of 2020 included operating profit related to the PPE business that was exited.
Activewear
Activewear net sales increased 68% compared to the six months of 2020 driven by lower sales in the six months of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns and incremental sales partially as a result of higher U.S. government stimulus spending. We experienced growth in all product categories.
Activewear operating margin was 13.2%, an increase from 0.5% in the same period a year ago. Operating margin improvement resulted primarily from fixed cost leverage from higher sales.
International
Net sales in the International segment increased 45% as a result of lower sales in the six months of 2020 due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $94 million in the six months of 2021. International net sales on a constant currency basis, defined as net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency, increased 31%. The impact of foreign exchange rates is calculated by applying prior period exchange rates to the current year financial results. Net sales in certain of our international markets continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19 related shutdowns.
International operating margin was 15.1%, an increase from 8.2% in the same period a year ago. Operating margin improvement resulted primarily from fixed cost leverage from higher sales, sales mix and the favorable impact from foreign exchange rates.
Other
Other net sales increased as a result of increased sales at our retail outlets during the six months of 2021 as a result of stores reopening after temporary store closures during the six months of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating margin increased due to the increase in sales volume.
We expect to continue certain sales from our supply chain to the European Innerwear business after the sale of the business. Those sales and the related profit are included in Other in all periods presented and have not been eliminated as intercompany transactions in consolidation.
Corporate
Corporate expenses in the six months of 2021 included incremental recurring COVID-19 related costs such as cleaning and health-related supplies to protect our employees and customers, as well as higher compensation expense compared to the six months of 2020. Corporate expenses were lower in the six months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 due to lower restructuring and other action-related charges and bad debt expense. Included in restructuring and other action-related charges in the six months of 2021 were $38 million of charges related to the implementation of our Full Potential plan including impairment charges of $7 million related to the full impairment of an indefinite-lived trademark related to a specific brand within the European Innerwear business that was excluded from the disposal group as it is not being marketed for sale. Included in restructuring and other action-related charges in the six months of 2020 were $24 million of asset write-down charges recorded as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Supply chain actions include actions to reduce overhead costs. Program exit charges are costs associated with exiting the C9 Champion mass program and the DKNY intimate apparel license at the end of 2019. Other charges in the six months of 2020 include action-related costs such as workforce reductions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Requirements and Trends and Uncertainties Affecting Liquidity
We rely on our cash flows generated from operations and the borrowing capacity under our credit facilities to meet the cash requirements of our business. Our primary uses of cash are payments to our employees and vendors in the normal course of business, capital expenditures, maturities of debt and related interest payments, contributions to our pension plans, regular quarterly dividend payments and income tax payments.
In April 2020, given the rapidly changing business environment and level of uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated impact on future earnings, we amended our Senior Secured Credit Facility prior to any potential covenant violation in order to modify the financial covenants and to provide operating flexibility during the COVID-19 crisis. The amendment changed certain provisions and covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility through the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2021, after which our covenants were to revert to their original, pre-amendment levels. We voluntarily terminated the covenant relief amendment when we submitted our April 3, 2021 compliance certificate in order to reduce interest expense and increase flexibility for restricted payments, investments, indebtedness, and permitted acquisitions. After termination, the covenants reverted to their original, pre-amendment levels for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2021.
We expect to maintain compliance with our covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements based on our current expectations and forecasts. If economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic do not continue to improve or otherwise worsen, including as a result of any new virus or vaccine distribution or efficacy, and our earnings and operating cash flows do not continue to recover as currently estimated by management, this could impact our ability to maintain compliance with our financial covenants and require us to seek additional amendments to our Senior Secured Credit Facility. If we are not able to obtain such necessary additional amendments, this would lead to an event of default and, if not cured timely, our lenders could require us to repay our outstanding debt. In that situation, we may not be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay the lenders.
Based on our current estimate of future earnings and cash flows, we believe we have sufficient cash and available borrowings for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements based on our current expectations and forecasts.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from global operations and cash available under our Revolving Loan Facility, our Australian Revolving Loan Facility, our Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility and our international credit facilities.
We had the following borrowing capacity and available liquidity under our credit facilities as of July 3, 2021:

(1)Borrowing availability under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility is subject to a quarterly fluctuating facility limit, not to exceed $175 million, and permitted only to the extent that the face of the receivables in the collateral pool, net of applicable reserves and other deductions, exceeds the outstanding loans.
The following have impacted or may impact our liquidity:
•The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.
•We have historically paid a regular quarterly dividend. The declaration of any future dividends and, if declared, the amount of any such dividends, will be subject to our actual future earnings, capital requirements, regulatory restrictions, debt covenants, other contractual restrictions and to the discretion of our Board of Directors.
•We have principal and interest obligations under our debt and ongoing financial covenants under those debt facilities. In March 2021, we repaid the outstanding balance of Term Loan B which consisted of a required excess cash flow prepayment of $239 million and a voluntary prepayment of $61 million.
•We have invested in efforts to accelerate worldwide omnichannel and global growth initiatives, as well as marketing and brand building.
•As part of our Full Potential plan, we have launched a multi-year cost savings program intended to self-fund the investments necessary to achieve the Full Potential plan’s objectives.
•We expect capital investments of approximately $185 million per year through 2024 as part of our Full Potential plan.
•In the future, we may pursue strategic business acquisitions.
•We made a contribution of $40 million to our U.S. pension plan in the six months ended July 3, 2021. We may also elect to make additional voluntary contributions.
•We may increase or decrease the portion of the current-year income of our foreign subsidiaries that we remit to the United States, which could impact our effective income tax rate. Consistent with our investment strategy as it pertains to our historical foreign earnings as of January 2, 2021, we intend to remit foreign earnings totaling $668 million.
•We are obligated to make installment payments over an eight-year period related to our transition tax liability resulting from the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which began in 2018, in addition to any estimated income taxes due based on current year taxable income. In the six months ended July 3, 2021, we made an installment payment of $10 million on our transition tax liability. We currently have a remaining balance due of approximately $42 million to be paid in installment payments through 2025.

Operating Activities
Our overall liquidity has historically been driven by our cash flow provided by operating activities, which is dependent on net income and changes in our working capital. As compared to the prior year, higher net cash provided by operating activities was due to changes in working capital primarily accounts receivable and payables, partially offset by inventory. Higher profitability also drove improved year over year cash flow. Net cash from operating activities includes a $40 million and a $25 million contribution to our U.S. pension plan made in the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Investing Activities
Investing activities in the six months of 2021 and 2020 primarily include capital investments into our business. The decrease in cash used by investing activities in the six months of 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily the result of a decrease in capital investments into our business as we manage our spending on our focused strategic goals.
Financing Activities
Net cash from financing activities decreased primarily as a result of lower borrowings as compared to the same period of 2020. We increased our borrowings in the six months of 2020 primarily to strengthen our cash position and to provide us with additional financial flexibility to manage our business during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, in the six months of 2021, we repaid the outstanding balance of Term Loan B which consisted of a required excess cash flow prepayment of $239 million and a voluntary prepayment of $61 million. We repurchased shares at a total cost of $200 million in the six months of 2020.
Financing Arrangements
In March 2021, we amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. This amendment primarily decreased the fluctuating facility limit to $175 million (previously $225 million) and extended the maturity date to June 2022. Additionally, the amendment changed certain ratios and borrowing base calculations, raised pricing and added certain receivables to the pledged collateral pool for the facility. In July 2021, the Australian Revolving Loan Facility, originally entered into in July 2016, was amended to extend the maturity date to July 2022 and to reduce the bilateral cash advance limit from A$50 million to A$46 million with an offsetting increase in the bank overdraft limit from A$10 million to A$14 million.
We believe our financing structure provides a secure base to support our operations and key business strategies. As of July 3, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our credit facilities and other outstanding indebtedness. We continue to monitor our covenant compliance carefully. Under the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are
required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. The interest coverage ratio covenant is the ratio of our EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters to our consolidated total interest expense and the leverage ratio covenant is the ratio of our net debt to EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation expense and amortization, as computed pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility. We expect to maintain compliance with our covenants for at least one year from the date of these financial statements based on our current expectations and forecasts, however economic conditions or the occurrence of events discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021 or other SEC filings could cause noncompliance.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of SEC Regulation S-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have chosen accounting policies that we believe are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial condition in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021.
The application of critical accounting policies requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may retain outside consultants to assist in our evaluation. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations in the period in which the actual amounts become known. The critical accounting policies that involve the most significant management judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021. There have been no material changes in these policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For a summary of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to our condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no significant changes in our market risk exposures from those described in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 3, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that no changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Although we are subject to various claims and legal actions that occur from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we are not party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Item 1A.
