US' HanesBrands' earnings climb as gross margin hits 41.7% in Q1 2025
The adjusted gross profit also increased by 6 per cent to $316 million, and adjusted gross margin climbed by 165 bps to 41.6 per cent, excluding restructuring and other related charges.
HanesBrands Inc has reported net sales of $760 million in Q1 2025, up 2.1 per cent YoY, with gross margin rising to 41.7 per cent. Adjusted operating profit grew 61 per cent to $81 million, and adjusted EPS rose to $0.07. US and international sales declined slightly. For FY25, sales are projected at $3.47â€'$3.52 billion. Its Q2 sales are expected at $970 million, with adjusted EPS of $0.18.
The company continued its supply chain optimisation efforts through consolidation and cost reduction measures aimed at lowering fixed costs, improving efficiencies, and enhancing customer service, all while maintaining lower inventory levels, HanesBrands said in a press release.
The adjusted operating profit increased by 61 per cent to $81 million, accompanied by a 390 bps rise in adjusted operating margin to 10.7 per cent. The diluted earnings per share (EPS) grew by approximately 145 per cent to $0.04, while adjusted EPS climbed 240 per cent to $0.07.
Region-wise, US net sales declined by 1 per cent YoY, as continued growth in basics, active, and new businesses—fuelled by innovation, increased brand investments, and expanded programming—was offset by persistent challenges in the intimate apparel segment, mirroring broader market trends.
The international net sales fell by 2 per cent on a reported basis, impacted by a $12 million foreign exchange headwind. However, on a constant currency basis, international sales rose 4 per cent, with growth recorded in Australia and Asia and stable performance in the Americas.
For the fiscal 2025, ending January 3, 2026, the company expects net sales from continuing operations to range between approximately $3.47 billion and $3.52 billion.
At the midpoint, net sales are anticipated to remain broadly consistent with the prior year on a reported basis and to grow by around 1 per cent on an organic constant currency basis. GAAP operating profit is forecast to be between $425 million and $440 million, while adjusted operating profit is expected to range from $450 million to $465 million, excluding approximately $25 million in pretax restructuring and other action-related charges, added the release.
For the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, ending June 28, HanesBrands expects net sales of approximately $970 million, including an estimated $15 million headwind from foreign currency exchange rate changes.
Net sales are projected to remain broadly consistent with the prior year on both a reported and organic constant currency basis. GAAP operating profit is anticipated to be around $129 million, while adjusted operating profit is forecast at approximately $136 million, excluding roughly $7 million in pretax restructuring and other action-related charges.
GAAP earnings per share (EPS) is projected at approximately $0.16, with adjusted EPS expected at $0.18, based on an estimated 357 million fully diluted shares outstanding.
'We delivered another strong quarter, including revenue, operating profit and earnings per share that exceeded our expectations as we continue to see the benefits of our growth strategy and prior transformation initiatives,' said Steve Bratspies, chief executive officer (CEO) at HanesBrands . 'We also reiterated our full-year outlook, which now reflects our expected impact from US tariffs, as the current environment presents challenges but also creates real revenue opportunities.
'We are confident that we can fully mitigate the cost headwinds as we have many levers to pull, including further cost reductions and pricing actions. We are also actively pursuing new revenue opportunities, which we believe we are in an advantaged position to capture given our western hemisphere supply chain speed and capabilities matched with our strong retailer relationships,' added Bratspies.

Jaishankar in Moscow for talks, Russia envoy: Will resolve any problem
Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian deputy envoy in Delhi said that this is the 'true strategic partnership' and it means 'India matters a lot to Russia'. The Russian envoy sought to frame India as a partner of choice, at a time when Delhi is facing 50 per cent tariffs from the US. This came after two phone calls between PM Modi and President Putin within a span of two weeks this month – the level and frequency of communication is not common. Deputy Chief of mission in the Russian embassy in Delhi, Roman Babushkin, said President Putin plans to visit India this year, even as he said the schedule will be firmed up soon. On the Russia-India ties in the evolving geopolitical scenario, he said, 'This is the true strategic partnership we are enjoying. Whatever happens, even during challenges, we are committed to removing any problems…The recent phone call by President Putin to PM Modi, explaining and sharing the information about recent developments in Ukraine, means India matters a lot to Russia.' Babushkin, who was addressing reporters hours before External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met Russian First Deputy PM Denis Manturov in Moscow, said, 'We are capable of finding any solution for mutual satisfaction. The deepening of our partnership will help us grow together.' Jaishankar is scheduled to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Thursday. Calling Russia a 'partner of choice' for India in terms of defence purchases, Babushkin said, 'Russia has been a partner of choice for India's requirement of various military platforms and hardware.' He said defence cooperation between the two countries is set to expand in the time to come. Babushkin also called American pressure on India to stop buying Russian oil as 'unjustified', even as he said India's demands were growing and Russia remains the biggest supplier of crude oil to India. He said they don't expect New Delhi to stop buying Russian oil. 'Russia is the largest producer of oil and India is the largest consumer. Any kind of unilateral action leads to disruptions in supply chains, imbalance in pricing policies and destabilisation of global markets, endangering the energy security of developing countries,' he said. On US President Donald Trump announcing an additional 25 per cent tariff on India earlier this month, Babushkin said, 'It is a challenging situation for India. We are enjoying trust in our partnership with India and we are committed to address challenges that may come in the energy ties between the two counties.' 'I want to highlight that despite the political situation, we can predict the same level of oil import (by India),' Babushkin said. At the briefing, Russia's Deputy Trade Commissioner Evgeny Griva said buying oil from Russia is 'very profitable' for India, which will not want to change its supplier. He said Russia has a 'very, very special mechanism' to continue oil supplies to India. Babushkin said this wasn't the first time the US has threatened such sanctions and that India and Russia have, in the past also, found ways to overcome this. 'We have seen this problem of sanctions for many years now, but our trade is growing. In recent years, our trade has grown by seven times,' he said. 'If the West criticises you, it means you are doing everything right…We don't expect that to happen (India to stop buying oil from India). We know about the challenging circumstances for India,' he said. 'The sanctions are hitting those who are imposing them. We are confident that India-Russia energy cooperation will continue notwithstanding the external pressure.' 'If hypothetically speaking, India refuses to procure Russian oil, it will not lead to mutually beneficial cooperation with the West. They (Western powers) are behaving like neo-colonial powers,' the Russian diplomat said. 'This pressure is unjustified and unilateral….' Babushkin also called BRICS 'as a stabilising force' amid the ongoing global turbulence, and welcomed India and China moving ahead to repair ties, expressed optimism about the resumption of the India-Russia-China trilateral format, describing it as a vital step toward regional stability. Signalling hope for the revival of the trilateral format RIC framework, he said, 'We are quite hopeful that this format will be resumed sooner rather than later because its importance is not questioned. But we should wait until the right time comes. We would welcome these developments because they proved their efficiency when we had regular interaction at the ministerial level and even at the leaders' level.' India, however, has been non-committal about resumption of the RIC format, even as Beijing has been pushing for it. 'It is all about the regional stability of the region, which is mostly dependent on how the relations between the three countries, the largest countries in the region, Russia, India and China, are developing,' he added. On the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, scheduled to take place from August 31 to September 1 at Tianjin, China, he said, 'We are all preparing to attend the SCO summit at the highest political level. Recently, in the engagements with the Chinese Foreign Minister, the Indian side confirmed the participation of the Prime Minister's attendance at the summit.' He expressed a likelihood of a bilateral meeting between PM Modi and President Putin on the sidelines.
