Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
     On February 23, 2010, Hanesbrands Inc. (“Hanesbrands”) issued a press release highlighting its expectations for 2010 sales growth of 5% to 8% and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) growth of 25% to 35% and announcing long-term annual growth targets of 2% to 4% for net sales and 10% to 20% for EPS. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Exhibit 99.1 is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall Exhibit 99.1 be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
     Exhibit 99.1 contains disclosures about free cash flow, EBITDA and EPS excluding actions, which are considered non-GAAP performance measures. Hanesbrands has chosen to provide these disclosures to investors to enable them to perform additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means of evaluating Hanesbrands’ operations. The non-GAAP information should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP or other pro forma measures used by other companies.
     Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking financial information that is expected to be discussed during the previously announced meeting with investors and analysts to be held by Hanesbrands today, February 23, 2010.
