 For the second quarter ended June 28 2014 net sales increased 12% to $1.34bn and operating profit increased 27% to $231m, despite a continuing uncertain economic environment.

The company has refined its expectations for net sales for the year to approximately $5.075 billion.

Hanes chief executive officer, Richard A. Noll, said: “Our record first-half results are a testament to the value we are creating through our Innovate-to-Elevate, self-owned supply chain, and acquisition strategies.

“We remain confident in our business model and our performance momentum.”
