HanesBrands recorded higher third-quarter profit and said that its cost saving initiatives were driving margin expansion.
The clothing company reported net income of $270.7 million, or 76 cents a share, up from $30 million, or 8 cents a share, the year prior.
Adjusted earnings were 15 cents a share. Analysts expected 16 cents.
The company's selling, general and administrative expenses fell 8.4% compared with the prior-year quarter.
Net sales fell 1% to $891.7 million, with the company saying unanticipated shifts in ordering patterns at one of its large retail partners impacted late quarter replenishment orders. Analysts expected sales of $896.6 million.
The company said it saw strong back-to-school sales and that its Hanes brand was gaining market share.
The company is currently in the process of being acquired by Gildan as part of a deal announced in August that implied an equity value of $2.2 billion for HanesBrands.
