Hanesbrands Inc., Winston-Salem, N.C., reported the sixth consecutive quarter of record year-over-year growth for net sales, adjusted operating profit and adjusted earnings per share, due to benefits of acquisitions and Innovate-to-Elevate strategies.
Results were driven by continued acquisition benefits, global supply chain performance and margin expansion.

“We continue to deliver double-digit growth in adjusted operating profit and EPS as expected, and we are tracking to our full-year profit expectations,” Richard A. Noll, Hanesbrands Inc.’s chairman and CEO, said. “The integrations of our DBApparel and Knights Apparel acquisitions are proceeding on plan, and we continue to reap benefits from the past acquisitions of Gear for Sports and Maidenform. Our brand innovation platforms and global supply chain performance continue to drive margin improvement.”
