Dear Fellow

Shareholders

Fiscal 2006 was a year of solid progress for Warnaco, marked by a number ofnotable accomplishments. We advanced our long-term strategic objectives of building our global platform and growing our direct-to-consumer businesses. Specifically, we acquired and integrated the Calvin Klein® Jeans and related businesses in Europe and Asia and further expanded our reach by increasing our total international business from 29% of net revenues in Fiscal 2005 to 43% in Fiscal 2006.Additionally, our global sourcing initiative progressed, which led to improved gross margins.

Over time, we believe that our focus on product innovation and standard-setting marketingwill help us to achieve our near term goal of $500 million in Calvin Klein Underwear revenues worldwide. The integration of the acquired Calvin Klein Jeans and related businesses in Europe and Asia proceeded ahead of plan and contributed $314 million to Warnaco’s Fiscal 2006 net revenues. The acquisition also accelerated the expansion of our international direct-to-consumer initiative and...
