Gildan Activewear reported Q1 2026 results that fully reflect its acquisition of HanesBrands. Net sales from continuing operations rose to $1.17 billion, up 63.8% year over year, driven mainly by HanesBrands and stronger Retail sales.
Despite higher revenue, Gildan posted a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $55.1 million (loss of $0.30 per share), largely due to $106.3 million of inventory fair value step-up and $61.0 million of restructuring and acquisition-related costs tied to Hanes integration. On an adjusted basis, net earnings from continuing operations were $80.0 million, with adjusted diluted EPS of $0.43, down from $0.59.
Adjusted gross margin improved to 33.0%, helped by pricing actions, HanesBrands’ contribution and lower input costs, while reported gross margin was 23.9%. Leverage increased, with net debt of $4.87 billion and a net debt leverage ratio of 3.3x, above the company’s 1.5–2.5x target, contributing to a pause in share buybacks. Free cash flow was negative $309.9 million as working capital and integration spending weighed on cash generation.
Gildan Activewear delivered record Q1 2026 net sales from continuing operations of $1.17 billion, up 63.8% year over year, driven mainly by the HanesBrands acquisition and strong retail growth. Despite this, higher SG&A, restructuring and acquisition costs, and an inventory fair value step-up led to a GAAP diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.30, while adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.43, down 27.1% from $0.59.
Adjusted operating income rose to $166.8 million with a 14.3% adjusted operating margin, ahead of guidance, but below last year’s 19.0%. Free cash flow was negative $309.9 million, and net debt increased to $4.87 billion, resulting in a net debt leverage ratio of 3.3x. Management reports integration of HanesBrands is on track, targeting about $100 million of synergies in 2026 and $250 million in annual run-rate cost synergies over the next three years, and it maintains full-year 2026 guidance for revenue of $6.0–$6.2 billion, adjusted operating margin of ~20%, adjusted EPS of $4.20–$4.40, and free cash flow above $850 million.
Gildan Activewear is calling shareholders to a 2026 annual and special meeting on April 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EDT, offered in a hybrid in‑person and virtual format. Holders of common shares as of March 17, 2026, when 185,177,487 shares were outstanding, may vote.
Shareholders will receive 2025 financial statements, vote on reappointing KPMG as independent auditor, elect nine directors, and approve, ratify, and renew the shareholder rights plan, which is intended to ensure fair treatment in any take‑over bid. They will also cast a non‑binding advisory vote on Gildan’s executive compensation approach.
The circular describes detailed voting mechanics for registered and beneficial holders, quorum requirements, and governance practices, including fully independent board committees and oversight of risk, cybersecurity, and compensation.

Gildan Activewear Inc. has adopted a new shareholder rights plan agreement with Computershare Investor Services as rights agent, dated February 25, 2026. The plan is designed to address take-over bids by granting each shareholder a Right that becomes exercisable after a specified separation time.
A person who becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of outstanding voting shares (other than through permitted transactions) becomes an Acquiring Person, triggering potential dilution through a flip-in mechanism that can render such holder’s Rights void. The company may redeem the Rights at a price of $0.0001 per Right, and the exercise price is set at five times the market price per share at the separation time, subject to adjustment.
The plan must be confirmed and approved by a majority of votes cast by Independent Shareholders at a meeting to be held no later than June 1, 2026, or it will terminate. The agreement also provides for a further shareholder review at the 2029 annual meeting, at which Independent Shareholders will vote on its continued existence.
