Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Financial Outlook
Guidance metrics are based on continuing operations.
The Company is providing guidance on tax expense due to the expected fluctuation of its quarterly tax rate, stemming from the deferred tax reserve matter previously disclosed in fourth-quarter 2022. Importantly, the reserve does not impact cash taxes. Some portion of the reserve may reverse in future periods.
The Company closed the sale of its U.S. Sheer Hosiery business on September 29, 2023. For the full year 2023, its U.S. Sheer Hosiery business generated $50 million of net sales and an operating loss of $(2) million.
For fiscal year 2024, which ends on December 28, 2024, the Company currently expects:
<ul>
<li>Net sales from continuing operations of approximately $3.61 billion, which includes projected headwinds of approximately $50 million from last year's U.S. Sheer Hosiery divestiture and approximately $42 million from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This represents an approximate 4% decrease as compared to prior year on a reported basis and an approximate 2% decrease on an organic constant currency basis.</li>
<li>GAAP operating profit from continuing operations of approximately $174 million.</li>
<li>Adjusted operating profit from continuing operations of approximately $417 million, which includes a projected headwind of approximately $8 million from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.</li>
<li>Pretax charges for restructuring and other action-related charges of approximately $243 million.</li>
<li>GAAP and Adjusted Interest expense of approximately $195 million, which reflects the pay down of debt from the use of net proceeds from the Champion sale and internal cash generation.</li>
<li>GAAP Other expenses of approximately $53 million, which includes approximately $10 million of accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs. Adjusted Other expenses of approximately $43 million.</li>
<li>GAAP and Adjusted Tax expense of approximately $40 million, which includes a net tax benefit primarily related to a release of certain tax reserves.</li>
<li>GAAP loss per share from continuing operations of approximately $(0.32).</li>
<li>Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations of approximately $0.39.</li>
<li>Cash flow from operations of approximately $250 million.</li>
<li>Capital investments of approximately $50 million, consisting of approximately $40 million of capital expenditures and approximately $10 million of cloud computing arrangements. Per GAAP, capital expenditures are reflected in cash from investing activities and certain cloud computing arrangements are reflected in Other Assets within cash flow from operating activities. The approximate $10 million of cloud computing arrangements is factored into the full year cash flow from operations guidance of approximately $250 million.</li>
<li>Free cash flow of approximately $210 million.</li>
<li>Fully diluted shares outstanding of approximately 355 million.</li>
</ul>
For fourth-quarter 2024, which ends on December 28, 2024, the Company currently expects:
<ul>
<li>Net sales from continuing operations of approximately $900 million, which includes projected headwind of approximately $4 million from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This represents an approximate 2% increase as compared to prior year on a reported basis and an approximate 3% increase on an organic constant currency basis.</li>
<li>GAAP operating profit from continuing operations of approximately $95 million.</li>
<li>Adjusted operating profit from continuing operations of approximately $115 million, which includes a projected headwind of approximately $1 million from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.</li>
<li>Pretax charges for restructuring and other action-related charges of approximately $20 million.</li>
<li>GAAP and Adjusted Interest expense of approximately $45 million, which reflects the pay down of debt from the use of net proceeds from the Champion sale and internal cash generation.</li>
<li>GAAP Other expenses of approximately $24 million, which includes approximately $10 million of accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs. Adjusted Other expenses of approximately $14 million.</li>
<li>GAAP and Adjusted Tax expense of approximately $5 million, which includes a net tax benefit primarily related to a release of certain tax reserves.</li>
<li>GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations of approximately $0.06.</li>

<li>Fully diluted shares outstanding of approximately 357 million.</li>

Hurricane Helene and the aftermath of the Category 4 storm have left over 100 people dead, millions without power and destruction not seen in decades in several states since making<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41073069/hurricane-helene-update-28-dead-power-outages-insurance-damages-and-more"> landfall Thursday night.</a>
What Happened: The hurricane, which shut down airports, roads and bridges, theme parks and sporting contests<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/09/41053573/hurricane-helene-disrupts-flights-sports-events-disney-operations-affected-regions-stocks-to-watch"> ahead of the storm&#8217;s landfall,</a> further devastated the states in its path after making landfall.
At least 102 people are dead across the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia, as reported by <a href="https://www.cnn.com/weather/live-news/hurricane-helene-florida-north-carolina-georgia-09-30-24/index.html">CNN</a>.
With more than 100 dead, Hurricane Helene now ranks as one of the deadliest hurricanes to hit the U.S. in the last 50 years. Hurricane Katrina had 1,833 fatalities and remains the worst storm in the last 50 years. Helene ranks third behind Katrina and Hurricane Ian, which caused 150 deaths.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said Hurricane Helene "spared no one" when it came to the storm path.
"It looks like a tornado went off, it looks like a bomb went off," Kemp said.
Regions in North Carolina and South Carolina received four to five months worth of rain over a three-day period.
The federal government has declared a public health emergency for Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. Federal disaster declarations have been made for Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
President Joe Biden is set to visit some of the impacted areas later this week "as soon as it will not disrupt emergency response operations," the White House said. Former President Donald Trump is set to visit areas impacted by the hurricane on Monday.

North Carolina Hit Hard: Among the states most affected by Hurricane Helene is North Carolina, with Buncombe County, home of the city of Asheville, accounting for at least 40 of the storm fatalities. 
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper called Hurricane Helene "one of the worst storms in modern history."
Over 200 roads are closed in North Carolina as of Monday, with many people still unaccounted for, meaning the fatality count could rise in the coming days.
The hurricane damage in North Carolina could impact several key <a href="https://www.commerce.nc.gov/business/key-industries-north-carolina">industries</a>, with the state&#8217;s plastics/chemical workforce being one of the country&#8217;s largest, as well as North Carolina being a large employer in the automotive sector, the home of several large financial companies, the second largest turbine manufacturer and a key semiconductor manufacturer.
The state is one of the largest textile manufacturers in the country and is the home of Hanesbrands Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBI#NYSE">HBI</a>).
Fourteen of the Fortune 500 companies call North Carolina home, including Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) and Lowe's Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>).
Lowe's and peer home improvement company Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) are among the companies that could benefit from the restoration efforts in the region and the home repairs and rebuilds needed in the coming months.
Power Outages: Over 4 million homes had no power as of Friday across Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
As of Monday morning, 2 million homes and businesses remain without power.
Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>), which is headquartered in North Carolina, offers utilities to several of the states impacted by the storm. The company <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/duke-energys-hurricane-helene-recovery-restores-power-to-more-than-1-1-million-in-south-and-north-carolina-downed-trees-blocked-roadways-damaged-and-destroyed-power-equipment-impeding-efforts-in-the-sc-upstate-region-and-nc-302261927.html">said </a>it has restored power to more than 1.1 million people in North Carolina and South Carolina with over 900,000 customers still without power as of Sunday night, primarily in the Carolinas. 
Helen&#8217;s aftermath could be a long process for Duke Energy, which is a publicly traded company.
"Based on what we can see on the ground, from helicopter and by drone, there are lots of areas across the South Carolina Upstate and North Carolina mountains where we're going to have to completely rebuild parts of our system, not just repair it," Duke Energy storm director for the Carolinas Jason Hollifield said.
Georgia Power, which is a unit of Southern Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>), is another utility company that <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/georgia-power-releases-key-estimated-damage-statistics-from-hurricane-helene-as-restoration-progress-continues-302261899.html">faced </a>heavy power outages. The company said Sunday that it had restored power for around 690,000 customers and around 425,000 are still without power.
The utility company said Hurricane Helene was the "most destructive hurricane" in company history. The company estimates it will have to replace or repair over 5,000 power poles, over 9,000 spans of wire and over 500 transformers.
Generator company Generac Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) could see a lift in the current quarter with heavy purchases likely to have been made ahead of the storm.
Insurance Impact: After the hurricane hit an area of Florida with a lower population than other regions, a report from the Miami Herald said the losses from the storm could be modest for the state's insurance market and smaller than Hurricane Ian (2022) and Hurricane Michael (2018).
Ahead of the storm, a report from reinsurance company Gallagher Re, which is a unit of Arthur J. Gallagher &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>), said private insurers' losses could come in a range of $3 billion to $6 billion across multiple states.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), Allstate Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) and Travelers Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) are among the publicly traded companies that could be impacted by the insurance claims from the hurricane.
 A new report from AccuWeather, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/live-blog/helene-deadly-storm-live-updates-rcna173203">shared </a>by NBC News, says the total damage from the storm and the economic loss could total a range of $145 billion to $160 billion. The previous AccuWeather estimate was a range of $95 billion to $100 billion.

<h3>Key Indicators: Hanesbrands's Financial Health</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: The company's market capitalization is below the industry average, suggesting that it is relatively smaller compared to peers. This could be due to various factors, including perceived growth potential or operational scale.
Decline in Revenue: Over the 3 months period, Hanesbrands faced challenges, resulting in a decline of approximately -3.83% in revenue growth as of 30 June, 2024. This signifies a reduction in the company's top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company trails behind with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Consumer Discretionary sector.
Net Margin: Hanesbrands's net margin is below industry averages, indicating potential challenges in maintaining strong profitability. With a net margin of -29.98%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.

Debt Management: Hanesbrands's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 55.14. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates. This supplementary information provides further guidance for traders.

Investor risk sentiment is showing greater conviction on Thursday, with all indices and major stock sectors in the green, after Wall Street failed to hold onto opening gains and closed in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40237781/wall-street-ends-wednesday-in-the-red-as-risk-sentiment-remains-fragile-s-p-500-movers-at-the-cl">red the previous day.</a>
Weekly jobless claims numbers, which came in at 233,000 last week — a significant drop from the previous 250,000 and below the expected 240,000 — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/08/40251833/weekly-unemployment-claims-decline-more-than-expected-cool-recession-concerns-stocks-r">helped ease recession fears. </a>
Additionally, the notable decline in weekly claims in Texas suggests that a one-off event like Hurricane Beryl might have contributed to the increase in claims and the July unemployment rate, thus alleviating fears of a more structural trend.
Technology stocks are leading the charge, with the Nasdaq 100 showcasing a 2.2% rally. Among tech stocks, semiconductors are shining, with AI-linked trade back on track after significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40259139/tech-stocks-rally-after-5-day-slump-as-recession-panic-eases-nasdaq-100-movers-to-watch-thursday">sell-offs in recent days.</a>
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) rallied 5.7%, returning above its 200-day moving average after falling below it last Friday. Industrial, consumer discretionary and energy stocks are also posting significant gains.
The dollar continues its recovery against the Japanese yen after being hit by the unwinding of the carry trade until Monday. The dollar-yen exchange rate is looking at its third consecutive day of gains, continuing to reflect the dovish remarks made by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40223986/traders-resume-yen-dollar-carry-trade-as-bank-of-japan-pledges-no-rate-hikes-during-market-volatilit">Bank of Japan on Wednesday.</a>
Bonds, which alongside the yen were favored during past sessions marked by recession fears, are now retracing as yields rise across the Treasury curve. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) tumbled by 0.8% on Thursday, eyeing its third straight session of declines. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note surged by 5 basis points to 4%.
Commodities are showing solid gains, with gold and silver up by 1.5% and 3.5%, respectively. Oil is up 0.8%, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude returning above the $75 per barrel level.
Cryptocurrencies are soaring, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) posting a 7.9% daily gain, on track for its best session in about three months.

Wall Street Rallies As Economic Concerns Recede, Tech Flexes Its Muscles, Semiconductors Soar: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Hanesbrands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBI#NYSE">HBI</a>) shares are<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> trading higher after the company reported second-quarter results.</a>
The company reported quarterly adjusted earnings per share of 15 cents, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/b40246245/hanesbrands-announces-second-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the street view of 10 cents.</a>
Adjusted gross margin&nbsp;of 39.8% increased approximately 525 basis points as compared to second-quarter 2023. The year-over-year improvement was driven primarily by lower input costs as the company continues to anniversary the impact from peak inflation as well as the benefits from cost savings initiatives.
&#8220;We delivered solid second-quarter results in a challenging consumer and apparel market, including better-than-expected U.S. innerwear performance and margin expansion,&#8221; said Steve Bratspies, CEO.
Quarterly sales from continuing operations were $995.4 million versus the analyst consensus of $1.357 billion.

Net sales from continuing operations decreased 4% compared to prior year as sales declines continued to moderate. On an organic, constant-currency basis, net sales decreased by 1%.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve also identified additional savings opportunities to drive a step-function change in our cost structure, which combined with our current margin improvement initiatives and lower interest expense gives us visibility to strong double-digit EPS growth over the next several years,&#8221; added Bratspies.&nbsp;
At the end of the quarter, the total liquidity position was more than $1.3 billion, consisting of $214 million of cash and equivalents and more than $1 billion of available capacity under the company&#8217;s credit facilities.
Inventory&nbsp;at the end of the quarter of $938 million, decreased 20%, or $235 million, year-over-year.
Outlook: HanesBrands&nbsp;adjusted its full-year 2024&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;to reflect continuing operations.
For FY24, the company sees net sales from continuing operations of approximately $3.59 billion to $3.63 billion versus estimate of $5.14 billion (prior view for net sales: $5.35 billion to $5.47 billion), which includes projected headwinds of approximately $50 million from last year&#8217;s U.S. Sheer Hosiery divestiture and approximately $40 million from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.&nbsp;
Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations is expected to be approximately $0.31 to $0.37 versus the estimate of $0.45 (prior view for adjusted EPS: $0.42 to $0.48).
For the third quarter, the company sees net sales from continuing operations of approximately $920 million to $950 million (estimate: $1.49 billion).
Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations is expected to be approximately $0.09 to $0.14 (estimate: $0.23).
Price Action: HBI shares are trading higher by 14.4% to $5.95 at last check Thursday.

Hanesbrands Soars 14% After Q2 Earnings: Strength In US Innerwear Unit And Margin Gains Drive Upbeat Performance

U.S. stocks are set for a mixed start on Thursday as concerns regarding the economy and incremental yen carry trade unwinding remain an undercurrent. Traders may be keen to receive the jobless claims report, given the recent sell-off kickstarted last Thursday, partly due to a spike in the data. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40247012/bumble-shares-are-down-almost-40-in-premarket-and-gen-z-millennials-are-to-blame-for-their-chang">Reactions to earnings news have been mixed.</a> The CBOE Volatility Index, aka VIX, has resumed its climb above the 28 level.
With the uncertainty around the economy and rate trajectory abounding, in the absence of any major polarizing catalysts, the market could see back-and-forth movement in the near term.

Cues From Last Session:
The sell-off resumed Wednesday as early optimism regarding the worst being behind gave way to fears, taking the averages on a steady decline throughout the session. The positive start came after the Bank of Japan reassured that rate hikes are not imminent but techs dragged the market lower, as Super Micro Computer, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) earnings miss weighed down on AI-levered stocks.
Reacting to Super Micros&#8217; results, fund manager Louis Navellier said, &#8220;This has brought concerns regarding the profitability of building&nbsp;out AI networks despite the massive spending by the Mega Tech companies.&#8221;
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite suffered the most as it pulled back to a three-month low, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&amp;P 500 Index held above Monday&#8217;s closing level. 
Small-caps also experienced a strong sell-off, with the Russell 2,000 settling at a one-month low.

Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief US Equity, said in a podcast on Monday that he expects the markets to remain vulnerable in the near term until &#8220;we get better growth data or more comfort from Fed on policy support.&#8221; The strategist, however, does neither of these would be forthcoming soon.
He expects support to come from cheap valuations, although he doesn&#8217;t believe stocks have become so cheap to set in motion a buying spree. The S&amp;P 500 still traded at 20 times the forward 12-month earnings estimate, he said, adding that &#8220;things aren't actually cheap until we reach 17-18x, which is more than 10 percent away from where we are trading.&#8221;
