<P ALIGN="justify"><FONT size="2" FACE="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><B>Montr&eacute;al, Thursday, May 5, 2005</B> &#150; Gildan Activewear Inc. (GIL; TSX and NYSE) today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended April 3, 2005. The Company also reconfirmed its recently increased earnings guidance for the balance of the fiscal year, and announced that its Board of Directors has approved a 2-for-1 stock split, to be effected by way of a stock dividend. All earnings per share data in this release are stated prior to the stock split.</FONT> </P>
<div align="justify">
  <p><FONT SIZE="2" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><U>Second Quarter Sales and Earnings </U></FONT></p>
  <p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">After reflecting a special charge of U.S. $7.8 million after-tax or U.S. $0.26 per share for the closure of its Canadian yarn-spinning facilities, Gildan reported second quarter net earnings of U.S. $14.3 million or U.S. $0.48 per share, the same as the second quarter of last year. Earnings in the second quarter of last year included the U.S. $0.04 per share negative impact on cost of sales of revaluing opening inventories, due to the adoption of the U.S. dollar as the Company's functional currency at the beginning of the 2004 fiscal year. Excluding special items in both years, earnings increased to U.S. $22.1 million or U.S. $0.74 per share, up respectively 43.5% and 42.3% from U.S. $15.4 million and U.S. $0.52 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Gildan announced on April 6, 2005 that it expected E.P.S. to be at least 10% above the top end of its previous guidance for the second quarter, which had called for E.P.S. before the special charg
e of U.S. $0.60 - U.S. $0.65 per share. </font></p>
</div>
<P ALIGN="justify"><FONT size="2" FACE="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Compared to last year, the increase in second quarter net earnings before special items was driven by increased selling prices and reduced promotional activity, continuing growth in unit volume sales and more favourable product-mix. These positive variances were partially offset by increased costs for cotton, energy and transportation, the impact of lower capacity utilization on the efficiency of the Canadian yarn-spinning facilities which were closed in March 2005, higher selling, general and administrative expenses and higher depreciation.</FONT> </P>
<HR color=gray noShade SIZE=3>
<P ALIGN="justify"><FONT size="2" FACE="Times New Roman, Times, serif">&#147;We are pleased that we have continued to deliver very strong earnings growth, and that we have significantly exceeded our original expectations for the quarter&#148;, commented Glenn J. Chamandy, President and Chief Executive Officer. &#147;Moreover, industry conditions continue to be favourable, giving us confidence in our positive outlook for the balance of the fiscal year&#148;.</FONT> </P>
<P ALIGN="justify"><FONT size="2" FACE="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Sales in the second quarter amounted to U.S. $165.3 million, up 16.9% from the second quarter a year ago, reflecting a 10.4% increase in unit shipments, higher selling prices and more favourable product-mix. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company continued to be capacity-constrained, pending the start-up of its new textile manufacturing facility in the Dominican Republic. The overall supply/demand balance in the wholesale activewear industry also continued to be in good balance, with supply shortages for some products.</FONT> </P>
<div align="justify">
  <p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">The value of the S.T.A.R.S. market and market share data for the U.S. wholesale distribution market continues to be undermined by non-participation by major distributors. With this caveat, the table below summarizes the S.T.A.R.S. data for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. In calculating year-over-year growth rates, S.T.A.R.S. has adjusted prior period comparatives to exclude sales through distributors no longer participating in the S.T.A.R.S. report.</font> </p>

The significant increase in gross margins reflected higher selling prices and reduced promotional activity, together with more favourable product-mix, against the background of market conditions where the Company was unable to drive further customer demand for its products due to capacity constraints. The higher selling price realizations, combined with continuing manufacturing efficiencies, more than offset the negative margin impact of higher cotton, energy and transportation costs and inefficiencies resulting from the reduced capacity utilization of the Canadian yarn-spinning operations.</FONT> </P>

The higher SG&amp;A expenses reflected higher distribution expenses, provision for higher performance-related compensation expenses, and the stronger Canadian dollar, in addition to the continuing development of the organization to support the company&#146;s ongoing growth strategy.</FONT> </P>

On February 1, 2005, the Company announced plans to close its two Canadian yarn-spinning facilities, and relocate the majority of the yarn-spinning equipment to a new joint-venture facility in the U.S. The amount of the special charge is the same as had been estimated in February.</FONT> </P>

  <p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Net earnings for the first six months of fiscal 2005 were U.S. $30.5 million, or U.S. $1.02 per share, before the special charge for the closure of the yarn-spinning facilities, up respectively 48.8% and 47.8% from U.S. $ 20.5 million or U.S. $0.69 per share in the first six months of last year, after adjusting last year's earnings for the negative impact of the functional currency change on cost of sales as a result of revaluing opening inventories which were consumed in the first half of fiscal 2004. Net earnings and E.P.S. for the first half of fiscal 2005 were U.S. $22.7 million and U.S. $0.76 per share after the special charge, compared with net earnings and E.P.S. as reported of U.S. $17.2 million and U.S. $0.58 per share in the first six months of fiscal 2004. </font></p>

<div align="justify">
  <p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">On April 6, 2005, the Company increased its guidance for the full fiscal year from approximately U.S. $2.60 per share to approximately U.S. $2.80 per share before the special charge, and approximately U.S. $2.54 per share after the charge. The Company continues to be comfortable with its revised guidance. The Company projects E.P.S. of approximately U.S. $1.00 per share for the third quarter, up approximately 13.6% from U.S. $0.88 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. </font></p>

</div>
<P ALIGN="justify"><FONT size="2" FACE="Times New Roman, Times, serif">During the second quarter, the company used U.S. $27.4 million of its cash and cash equivalents in order to finance a seasonal increase in accounts receivable and capital expenditures, primarily for the construction of the new Dominican Republic textile facility as well as to complete the expansion of the U.S. distribution center in Eden, N.C., in order to position the Company for its entry into the retail channel. The Company ended the second quarter of fiscal 2005 with cash of U.S. $30.0 million.</FONT> </P>

<P ALIGN="justify"><FONT size="2" FACE="Times New Roman, Times, serif">The Company is now projecting capital expenditures of approximately U.S. $85 million for the full fiscal year, including 100% of the yarn-spinning investments made by Gildan&#146;s joint-venture with Frontier Spinning Mills, Inc., which is now fully consolidated in Gildan&#146;s financial statements. The Company has increased its production targets for its Dominican Republic facility for fiscal 2006, which will allow it to defer the construction of its planned new textile facility in Nicaragua. With the incremental production from the Dominican Republic, the Company expects to have sufficient capacity to support its projected sales growth and planned entry into the retail channel in fiscal 2006. Gildan continues to view its Nicaragua site as a strategic long-term asset for future capacity expansion, and has also purchased additional land in Honduras for possible future capacity expansion at a site adjacent to its existing Rio Nance textil
e facility.</FONT> </P>
<P ALIGN="justify"><FONT size="2" FACE="Times New Roman, Times, serif">After including the full amount of capital investments made by its yarn-spinning joint-venture, the Company now expects to generate free cash flow of approximately U.S. $10 million in fiscal 2005. (Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less cash flow from investing activities). The next scheduled principal installment of the Company&#146;s U.S. senior notes will be repaid in June 2005, and the Company expects to end the fiscal year with cash and cash equivalents of approximately U.S. $65 million.</FONT> </P>

The split is applicable to all shareholders of record on May 20, 2005. On or about May 31, 2005, the Company&#146;s registrar and transfer agent will mail new certificates for the additional shares to all registered Gildan shareholders as at May 20, 2005. The Company&#146;s shares are expected to commence trading on a post-split basis on May 18, 2005 on the TSX and on June 1, 2005, or one day after mailing of the share certificates to the registered shareholders of Gildan, on the NYSE, in accordance with the respective requirements of these exchanges. The stock split is intended to increase the liquidity of, and facilitate trading in, Gildan&#146;s shares.</FONT> </P>

Effective February 2, 2005, the Company amended the Articles of Incorporation in order to change each of the issued and outstanding Class A subordinated voting shares into one newly-created common share and to remove the Class B multiple voting shares and the Class A subordinate voting shares, effectively eliminating the dual class voting structure as approved by a special resolution of the shareholders.</FONT> </P>
