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.

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.

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.
