Hanesbrands Inc

Hanesbrands may not be the most exciting company in the world but it makes apparel that eveyone buys and it makes a lot of money doing it. Now I don't know about anyone else, but I like these kinds of companies that steadily make products that everyone needs and most people just routinely buy without a lot of thought about it. It's especially nice when it's a product that wears out and needs to be replaces on a regular basis. And that's why I like companies like Hanesbrands.

Company Overview

Hanesbrands Inc. is a manufacturer and marketer of leading everyday basic apparel under some of the world’s strongest apparel brands, including Hanes, Champion, Maidenform, DIM, Playtex, Bali, JMS/Just My Size, Nur Die/Nur Der, L’eggs, Lovable, Wonderbra, Flexees, Lilyette and Gear for Sports.

The company sells bras, panties, shapewear, hosiery, men’s underwear, children’s underwear, socks, T-shirts and other activewear in the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. In the United States, they sell more units of intimate apparel, male underwear and children’s underwear than any other company. Unlike most apparel companies, Hanesbrands primarily operates its own manufacturing facilities. More than 80 percent of the apparel units that they sell in the United States are manufactured in their own plants or those of dedicated contractors.
​

The company has a long history of innovation, product excellence and brand recognition. In fact, more than 80 percent of U.S. households have their products in them. The company revolutionized Tagless T-shirts and underwear, invented the sports bra, and were the first to advertise a bra on national television (Playtex). The company is now using their Innovate-to-Elevate strategy to integrate brand superiority, industry-leading innovation and a low-cost global supply chain to provide higher valued products while lowering production costs. The Tagless apparel platform, ComfortFlex Fit bra platform, ComfortBlend fabric platform and temperature-control X-Temp fabric platform incorporate big-idea innovation to span brands, product categories, business segments, retailer and distribution channels and geographies.

Founded in 1901, Hanesbrands was organized as a Maryland corporation in 2005 and spun off from Sara Lee Corporation in 2006, at which time they became an independent, publicly-traded corporation. Since then, they have used strategic acquisitions to expand the brand portfolio. In November 2010, the company expanded their activewear portfolio through the acquisition of GearCo, Inc., known as Gear for Sports, a leading seller of licensed logo apparel in collegiate bookstores and other channels. In October 2013, the company acquired Maidenform Brands Inc., a global intimate apparel company, including the brands Maidenform, Flexees and Lilyette. They acquired another portfolio of strong brands including DIM, Nur Die/Nur Der, Lovable, Shock Absorber and Abanderado through the August 2014 acquisition of DBA Lux Holding S.A. (“Hanes Europe Innerwear”), a leading marketer of intimate apparel, hosiery and underwear in Europe. Most recently, in April 2015, they acquired Knights Holdco, Inc. (“Knights Apparel”), a leading seller of licensed collegiate logo apparel primarily in the mass retail channel. The company believes these acquisitions will create growth and cost savings opportunities and increased scale to serve retailers.

The Path Forward

​This is an easy decision for me. I like these kinds of companies that simply excel at what they do. I intend to start a position in this company this week simply because the stock has significantly pulled back to the point where it's very reasonable compared to its fundamentals. If there's anything that bothers me it's the debt level on these shares, but as long as the company continues to improve its revenues and earnings, I believe the company will work off the debt over the next few years. 

I expect these shares to produce a significant total return over the short term and a very nice total return in the years ahead. As always, I intend to start with a small position and then allow dividend reinvestment, the sale of call options and open market buys to increase this postion over time.
