FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that relate to our plans, objectives, estimates, and goals. Statements expressing expectations regarding our future, or projections or estimates relating to products, sales, revenues, expenditures, costs, strategies, initiatives, or earnings, are typical of such statements and are made under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations about our future economic performance, considering the information currently available to management. The words “believe,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek,” “strive”“strive,” and words of similar import, or the negative of such words, identify or signal the presence of forward-looking statements. These statements are not statements of historical fact, andfact; they involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, or financial condition to differ materially from the expectations of future results, performance, or financial condition that we express or imply in any forward-looking statement. Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:

the competitive nature of the textile industry and the impact of global competition;

changes in the trade regulatory environment and governmental policies and legislation;

the availability, sourcing, and pricing of raw materials;

general domestic and international economic and industry conditions in markets where the Company competes, including economic and political factors over which the Company has no control;

changes in consumer spending, customer preferences, fashion trends, and end-uses for the Company’s products;

the financial condition of the Company’s customers;

the loss of a significant customer;

customer or brand partner;

natural disasters, industrial accidents, power or water shortages, extreme weather conditions, and other disruptions at one of the Company’s facilities;

the disruption of operations, global demand, or financial performance as a result of catastrophic or extraordinary events, including, but not limited to, epidemics or pandemics such as strains of coronavirus (such as “COVID-19”);
the success of the Company’s strategic business initiatives;

the volatility of financial and credit markets;

markets, including the impacts of counterparty risk (e.g. deposit concentration and recent depositor sentiment and activity);

the ability to service indebtedness and fund capital expenditures and strategic business initiatives;

the availability of and access to credit on reasonable terms;

changes in foreign currency exchange, interest, and inflation rates;

fluctuations in production costs;

the ability to protect intellectual property;

the strength and reputation of the Company’s brands;

employee relations;

the ability to attract, retain, and motivate key employees;

the impact of climate change or environmental, health, and safety regulations;

the operating performanceimpact of joint venturestax laws, the judicial or administrative interpretations of tax laws, and/or changes in such laws or interpretations; and other equity investments;

the accurate financial reporting of information from equity method investees; and

other factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2017July 2, 2023 or elsewhere in this report.

the Company’s other periodic reports and information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

All such factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results, and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors or to assess the impact of each such factor on the Company. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made, except as may be required by federal securities law.laws.

In light of all the above considerations, we reiterate that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we caution you not to rely on them as such.

1. Background

Unifi, Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1969 (together with its subsidiaries, “UNIFI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us”“us,” or “our”), is a multi-nationalmultinational company that manufactures and sells innovative syntheticrecycled and recycledsynthetic products, made from polyester and nylon, primarily to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers (UNIFI’s “direct customers”) that produce yarn and/or fabric for the apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive, industrial, medical, and other end-use markets.markets (UNIFI’s “indirect customers”). We sometimes refer to these indirect customers as “brand partners.” Polyester yarnsproducts include partially oriented yarn (“POY”), and textured, solution and package dyed, twisted, beamed, and draw wound yarns, and each is available in virgin or recycled varieties. Recycled solutions, made from both pre-consumer and post-consumer waste, include plastic bottle flake and(“Flake”), polyester polymer beads (“Chip”)., and staple fiber. Nylon products include virgin or recycled textured, solution dyed, and spandex covered yarns.

UNIFI maintains one of the textile industry’s most comprehensive yarn product offerings that includeincludes a range of specialized, yarns, premium value-added, (“PVA”) yarns and commodity yarns,solutions, with principal geographic markets in the AmericasNorth America, Central America, South America, Asia, and Asia.  

Europe. UNIFI has direct manufacturing operations in four countries and participates in joint ventures with operations in Israel and the United States (the “U.S.”). During the most significant of which is a 34% non-controlling partnership interestquarter ended December 31, 2023, UNIFI terminated the joint venture with operations in Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”), a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the global textile industry and apparel market.     Israel.

2. Basis of Presentation; Condensed Notes

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. As contemplated by the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)SEC to Form 10-Q, the following notes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements. Reference should be made to UNIFI’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2017July 2, 2023 (the “2017“2023 Form 10-K”).

The financial information included in this report has been prepared by UNIFI, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and certain financial statement disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

All currency and share amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands (000s), except as otherwise noted.

The fiscal quarter for each of Unifi, Inc., its primary domestic operating subsidiaries and its subsidiary in El Salvador ended on December 24, 2017, the second to last Sunday in December. The fiscal quarter for31, 2023. Unifi, Inc.’s Brazilian, Chinese, Colombian and Sri Lankan subsidiariesremaining material operating subsidiaries’ fiscal quarter ended on December 31, 2017.  There were no significant transactions or events that occurred between Unifi, Inc.’s fiscal quarter end and such wholly owned subsidiaries’ subsequent fiscal quarter end.2023. The three-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023 both consisted of 13 weeks. The six-month periods ended December 24, 201731, 2023 and December 25, 2016 eachJanuary 1, 2023 both consisted of 13 and 26 fiscal weeks, respectively.weeks.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior years’ data have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Issued and Pending Adoption

In May 2014,November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 606)280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Subsequent ASUs have been issued to provide clarityASU No. 2023-07 expands annual and defer the effective date of the new guidance.interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaces it with a principles-based approach. While UNIFI has not yet determined the effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, UNIFI notes the following considerations: (i) UNIFI is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing and delivering tangible products utilizing relatively straightforward contract terms without multiple performance obligations and (ii) transaction prices for UNIFI’s primary and material revenue activities are determinable and lack significant timing considerations. UNIFI is currently performing the following activities regarding implementation of the new guidance: (a) reviewing material contracts and (b) assessing accounting policy elections and disclosures under the new guidance. In

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

addition, implementation matters remaining include (x) evaluating the systems and processes to support revenue recognition and (y) selecting the method of adoption. The new revenue recognition guidanceASU is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2019.

In February 2016,year 2025 for annual reporting and in the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new guidance is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Whilefirst quarter of fiscal 2026 for interim reporting, with early adoption permitted. UNIFI has not yet determined the full effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, as of June 25, 2017,and does not expect to early adopt this standard. UNIFI had approximately $6,400 of future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) and diddoes not enter into any new material operating lease agreements during the six months ended December 24, 2017. The new lease guidance is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2020, and early adoption is permitted.

In connection with the SEC Staff Announcement on July 20, 2017 relating to the transition to ASU No. 2014-09 and ASU No. 2016-02, due to its status asexpect this standard will have a significant subsidiary of Unifi, Inc., PAL expects to adopt (i) the new revenue recognition guidance in its fiscal 2019 and (ii) the new lease guidance in its fiscal 2020.

Recently Adopted

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The ASU is intended to improve and simplify the rules around hedge accounting, reduce complexity for certain hedging concepts and better align financial reporting with an entity’s risk management activities. UNIFI early adopted ASU No. 2017-12 in the three months ended December 24, 2017. Early adoption will allow UNIFI to (i) eliminate consideration for hedge ineffectiveness, (ii) utilize a qualitative effectiveness assessment prospectively and (iii) contemplate hedge accounting for additional risk management activities allowed by the simplified guidance. Due to a lack of complexity in UNIFI’s recent risk management activities, there are no applicable cumulative adjustments to UNIFI’s financial statements in connection with adoption of the ASU.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, including the accounting and classification of the respective income tax impacts, forfeitures and statutory withholding requirements. UNIFI adopted the ASU in the three months ended September 24, 2017, on a prospective basis. The adoption resulted in a $148 decrease to the provision for income taxes for excess tax benefits and an immaterial increase in potential dilutive weighted average shares for the six months ended December 24, 2017. In connection with the adoption of the ASU, UNIFI has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur, and there is no corresponding retrospective adjustment to retained earnings. Additionally, UNIFI is presenting the change in classification of excess tax benefits in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows on a prospective basis.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which modifies the subsequent measurement of inventories recorded under a first-in, first-out or average cost method. Under the new standard, such inventories are required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. UNIFI adopted the ASU in the three months ended September 24, 2017, with prospective application. UNIFI’s historical principles for inventory measurement had utilized net realizable value, and, therefore, adoption of the ASU had no material impact on UNIFI’sits consolidated financial statements.position, results of operations or cash flows.

Based on UNIFI’s review of ASUs issued since the filing of the 20172023 Form 10-K, there have been no other newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have had, or are expected to have, a significantmaterial impact on UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

Third-party manufacturer revenue is primarily generated through sales to direct customers. Such sales represent satisfaction of UNIFI’s performance obligations required by the associated revenue contracts. Each of UNIFI’s reportable segments derives revenue from sales to third-party manufacturers.

Service Revenue

Service revenue is primarily generated, as services are rendered, through fulfillment of toll manufacturing of textile products or transportation services governed by written agreements. Such toll manufacturing and transportation services represent satisfaction of UNIFI’s performance obligations required by the associated revenue contracts.

REPREVE® Fiber represents UNIFI's collection of fiber products on our recycled platform, with or without added technologies.

Variable Consideration

For all variable consideration, where appropriate, UNIFI estimates the amount using the expected value method, which takes into consideration historical experience, current contractual requirements, specific known market events, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect UNIFI’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which the customer is entitled based on the terms of the contracts. Variable consideration has been immaterial to UNIFI’s financial statements for all periods presented.

UNIFI’s provision (benefit) for income taxes for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023 was calculated by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax book income and adjusting for discrete items that occurred during the period.

H.R. 1, formerly known asThe effective tax rate for the Tax Cutsthree and Jobs Act, was enacted onsix months ended December 22, 2017.  H.R. 1 includes significant changes to existing tax law, including a permanent reduction31, 2023 varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the U.S. federal corporate incomegenerated losses for which UNIFI does not expect to realize a future tax ratebenefit.

During the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit of fiscal years 2014 through 2019 was concluded with a refund of $1,275, which has been received along with $457 of interest on the overpayments. The impact from 35% to 21%, a one-time mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earning and profits (the “toll charge”), deductions, credits and business-related exclusions.

The permanent reductionthe IRS audit adjustments to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%prior periods was effective January 1, 2018. When a U.S. federal tax rate change occurs during a fiscal year, taxpayers are required to compute a weighted daily average rate for the fiscal year of enactment. As a result of H.R. 1, UNIFI has calculated a U.S. federal corporate income tax rate of 28.25% for its fiscal 2018 tax year.insignificant.

The effective tax rates for the periods presented above are lower thanthree and six months ended January 1, 2023 varied from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the one-timelosses for which UNIFI does not expect to realize a future benefit and a discrete tax benefit resulting from the revaluation of UNIFI’s domestic deferred tax balances for the lower U.S. statutory tax rate, the release of a valuation allowance on certain historical net operating losses (“NOLs”) and foreign income being taxed at lower rates. These benefits were partially offset by a provisional amount for the toll charge, net of foreign tax credits, and losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can currently be recognized.

UNIFI revalued its measurable deferred tax balances based upon the new tax rate at which the temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to reverse. UNIFI recorded a tax benefit of approximately $4,500 as a result of the net change in deferred tax balances. UNIFI determined that the impact of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate change on the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities is provisional because the number cannot be calculated until the underlying timing differences are known rather than estimated.

Specificrelated to the toll charge, UNIFI has recorded a $1,700 provisional charge, netrecovery of foreign tax credits, based on the following estimates: (i) earnings and profits of foreign jurisdictions that will not be complete until the end of fiscal 2018, (ii) the aggregate cash position at June 24, 2018 and (iii) finalization ofcertain Brazilian income taxes paid in foreign jurisdictions.  Additionally, the estimates have been made based on UNIFI’s interpretation of H.R. 1.  The U.S. Treasury has indicated in Notice 2018-07 that it expects to issue further guidance to clarify certain technical aspects of H.R. 1, which could impact UNIFI’s computations and provisional amounts recorded.prior years.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Within the calculation of the annual effective tax rate, UNIFI has used assumptions and estimates that may change as a result of future guidance, interpretation, and rulemaking from the Internal Revenue Service, the SEC, the FASB and/or various other taxing authorities. For example, UNIFI anticipates that state taxing authorities will continue to determine and announce their conformity to H.R. 1 which could have an impact on UNIFI’s annual effective tax rate.

UNIFI continues to review the anticipated impacts of the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) and base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”), which are not effective until fiscal 2019. UNIFI has not recorded any impact associated with either GILTI or BEAT.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

UNIFI has recorded all known and estimable impacts of H.R. 1 that are effective for fiscal 2018. Future adjustments to the provisional numbers will be recorded as discrete adjustments to income tax expense in the period in which those adjustments become estimable and/or are finalized.

UNIFI regularly assesses the outcomes of both completed and ongoing examinations to ensure that UNIFI’sits provision for income taxes is sufficient. Certain returns that remain open to examination have utilized carryforward tax attributes generated in prior tax years, including NOLs, which could potentially be revised upon examination.  

UNIFI also regularly assesses whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.  UNIFI considersFollowing the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  Since UNIFI operates in multiple jurisdictions, the assessment is made on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, taking into account the effects of local tax law.  Due to new facts and circumstances in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, UNIFI has determined it can utilize certain NOLs to offset future taxable income and has reduced the corresponding valuation allowance by $3,807.  There was also a reduction to valuation allowances on U.S. deferred tax assets in the current period as a resultconclusion of the lower U.S. statutoryIRS audit, UNIFI adjusted the uncertain tax rate under H.R. 1.  positions for fiscal years 2014 through 2019 that were effectively settled.

13. Business Segment Information

UNIFI defines operating segments as components of the organization for which discrete financial information is available and operating results are evaluated on a regular basis by UNIFI’s principal executive officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Characteristics of UNIFI which were relied upon in making the determination of reportable segments include the nature of the products sold, the internal organizational structure, the trade policies in the geographic regions in which UNIFI operates, and the information that is regularly reviewed by the CODM for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources.

UNIFI's three reportable segments are organized as follows:

The operations within the Americas Segment exhibit similar long-term economic characteristics and primarily sell into an economic trading zone covered by the USMCA and CAFTA-DR to similar customers utilizing similar methods of distribution. These operations derive revenues primarily from manufacturing synthetic and recycled textile products with sales primarily to yarn manufacturers, knitters, and weavers that produce yarn and/or fabric for the apparel, hosiery, automotive, home furnishings, industrial, medical, and other end-use markets principally in North and Central America. The Americas Segment consists of sales and manufacturing operations in the U.S., El Salvador, and Colombia.
The Brazil Segment primarily manufactures and sells polyester-based products to knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, automotive, home furnishings, industrial, and other end-use markets principally in Brazil. The Brazil Segment includes a manufacturing location and sales offices in Brazil.
The operations within the Asia Segment exhibit similar long-term economic characteristics and sell to similar customers utilizing similar methods of distribution primarily in Asia and Europe. The Asia Segment primarily sources synthetic and recycled textile products from third-party suppliers and sells to yarn manufacturers, knitters, and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, automotive, home furnishings, industrial, and other end-use markets principally in Asia. The Asia Segment includes sales offices in China, Turkey, and Hong Kong.

UNIFI evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon Segment Profit, which represents segment gross profit (loss) plus segment depreciation expense. This measurement of segment profit or loss best aligns segment reporting with the current assessments and evaluations performed by, and information provided to, the CODM.

The accounting policies for the segments are consistent with UNIFI’s accounting policies. Intersegment sales are omitted from segment disclosures, as they are (i) insignificant to UNIFI’s segments and eliminated from consolidated reporting and (ii) excluded from segment evaluations performed by the CODM.

As a result, these entities should be consolidated with UNIFI’s financial results. As (i) UNIFI purchases substantially all of the output from the twothese entities and all intercompany sales would be eliminated in consolidation, (ii) the two entities’ balance sheets constitute 3%5% or less of UNIFI’s current assets and total assets, and total liabilities and because(iii) such balances are not expected to comprise a larger portion in the future, UNIFI has not included the accounts of UNF and UNFA in its consolidated financial statements.statements and instead is accounting for these entities as equity investments. The financial results of UNF and UNFA are included in UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements with a one-month lag, using the equity method of accounting and with intercompany profits eliminated in accordance with UNIFI’s accounting policy.

17.  Commitments and Contingencies

Collective Bargaining Agreements

While employees of UNIFI’s Brazilian operations are unionized, none of the labor force employed by UNIFI’s domestic or other foreign subsidiaries is currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Environmental

On September 30, 2004, UNIFI completed its acquisition of polyester filament manufacturing assets located in Kinston, North Carolina from Invista S.a.r.l. (“INVISTA”).  The land for the Kinston site was leased pursuant to a 99-year ground lease (the “Ground Lease”) with E.I. DuPont de Nemours (“DuPont”).  Since 1993, DuPont has been investigating and cleaning up the Kinston site under the supervision of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action program.  The program requires DuPont to identify all potential areas of environmental concern (“AOCs”), assess the extent of containment at the identified AOCs and remediate the AOCs to comply with applicable regulatory standards.  Effective March 20, 2008, UNIFI entered into a lease termination agreement associated with conveyance of certain assets at the Kinston site to DuPont.  This agreement terminated the Ground Lease and relieved UNIFI of any future responsibility for environmental remediation, other than participation with DuPont, if so called upon, with regard to UNIFI’s period of operation of the Kinston site, which was from 2004 to 2008.  At this time, UNIFI has no basis to determine if or when it will have any responsibility or obligation with respect to the AOCs or the extent of any potential liability for the same.

UNIFI continues to own property acquired in the 2004 transaction with INVISTA that has contamination from DuPont’s operations and is monitored by DEQ.  This site has been remediated by DuPont, and DuPont has received authority from DEQ to discontinue further remediation, other than natural attenuation.  Prior to transfer of responsibility to UNIFI, DuPont has a duty to monitor and report the environmental status of the site to DEQ. UNIFI expects to assume that responsibility in fiscal 2018 and will be entitled to receive from DuPont seven years of monitoring and reporting costs, less certain adjustments. At that time, UNIFI will assume responsibility for any future remediation of the site. At this time, UNIFI has no basis to determine if or when it will have any obligation to perform further remediation or the potential cost thereof.

Leases

UNIFI routinely leases sales and administrative office space, warehousing and distribution centers, manufacturing space, transportation equipment, manufacturing equipment, and other information technology and office equipment from third parties.  

UNIFI has assumed various financial obligations and commitments in the normal course of its operating and financing activities.  Financial obligations are considered to represent known future cash payments that UNIFI is required to make under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements.

19.  Business Segment Information

UNIFI defines operating segments as components of the organization for which discrete financial information is available and operating results are evaluated on a regular basis by UNIFI’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Characteristics of the organization which were relied upon in making the determination of reportable segments include the nature of the products sold, the organization’s internal structure, the trade policies in the geographic regions in which UNIFI operates and the information that is regularly reviewed by the CODM for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources.

UNIFI’s operating segments are aggregated into three reportable segments based on similarities between the operating segments’ economic characteristics, nature of products sold, type of customer, methods of distribution and regulatory environment.

The operations within the Polyester Segment exhibit similar long-term economic characteristics and sell into an economic trading zone covered by the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) and the Dominican Republic—Central America Free Trade Agreement (“CAFTA-DR”) to similar customers utilizing similar methods of distribution. These operations derive revenues from polyester-based products with sales primarily to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce yarn and/or fabric for the apparel, hosiery, automotive, home furnishings, industrial and other end-use markets. The Polyester Segment consists of sales and manufacturing operations in the United States and El Salvador.

The operations within the Nylon Segment exhibit similar long-term economic characteristics and sell into an economic trading zone covered by NAFTA and CAFTA-DR to similar customers utilizing similar methods of distribution. The Nylon Segment includes an immaterial operating segment in Colombia that sells similar nylon-based textile products to similar customers in Colombia and Mexico utilizing similar methods of distribution. These operations derive revenues from nylon-based products with sales to knitters and weavers that produce fabric primarily for the apparel and hosiery markets.  The Nylon Segment consists of sales and manufacturing operations in the United States and Colombia.

The operations within the International Segment exhibit similar long-term economic characteristics and sell to similar customers utilizing similar methods of distribution in geographic regions that are outside of the economic trading zone covered by NAFTA and CAFTA-DR. The International Segment primarily sells polyester-based products to knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, automotive, home furnishings, industrial and other end-use markets primarily in the South American and Asian regions.  The International Segment includes a manufacturing location in Brazil and sales offices in Brazil, China and Sri Lanka.

In addition to UNIFI’s reportable segments, the selected financial information presented below includes an All Other category. All Other consists primarily of for-hire transportation services and Repreve Renewables, LLC (“Renewables”) (up through December 23, 2016, the date of the sale by UNIFI of its 60% equity ownership interest in Renewables). For-hire transportation services revenue is derived from performing common carrier services utilizing UNIFI’s fleet of transportation equipment. Revenue for Renewables was primarily derived from (i) facilitating the use of miscanthus grass as bio-fuel through service agreements and (ii) delivering harvested miscanthus grass to poultry producers for animal bedding.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The operations within All Other (i) are not subject to review by the CODM at a level consistent with UNIFI’s other operations, (ii) are not regularly evaluated using the same metrics applied to UNIFI’s other operations and (iii) do not qualify for aggregation with an existing reportable segment. Therefore, such operations are excluded from reportable segments.

UNIFI evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon Segment Profit (Loss), which represents segment gross profit (loss) plus segment depreciation expense.  This measurement of segment profit or loss best aligns segment reporting with the current assessments and evaluations performed by, and information provided to, the CODM.

The accounting policies for the segments are consistent with UNIFI’s accounting policies.  Intersegment sales are omitted from the below financial information, as they are (i) insignificant to UNIFI’s segments and eliminated from consolidated reporting and (ii) excluded from segment evaluations performed by the CODM.

Overview and Significant General Matters

UNIFI remains focusedfocuses on delivering PVA products and solutions to direct customers and brand partners throughout the world, leveraging our internal manufacturing capabilities and an enhanced global supply chain that delivers a diverse range of synthetic and recycled fibers and polymers. This strategic and synergistic focus includes a number of supporting pillars, such as investing in commercial expansion; growing our existing portfolio of technologies and capabilities; engaging in strategic partnerships; and investing in UNIFI’s people and teams. UNIFI remains committed to theseOur strategic initiatives which it believesinclude (i) leveraging our competitive advantages to grow market share in each of the major geographies we serve, (ii) expanding our presence in non-apparel markets with additional REPREVE® products, (iii) advancing the development and commercialization of innovative and sustainable solutions, and (iv) increasing brand awareness for REPREVE®. We have increased our focus on sales opportunities beyond traditional apparel customers and continue to drive innovation throughout our portfolio to further diversify the business and enhance gross profit. We believe our strategic initiatives will increase revenue and profitability and generate improved cash flows from operations.

UNIFI has three reportable segments for its operations – the Polyester Segment, the Nylon SegmentCurrent Economic Environment

The current economic environment and significant decrease in textile product demand adversely impacted our consolidated sales and profitability in fiscal 2023 and the International Segment – as well as certain ancillary operations, which comprise an All Other category. The ancillary operations classified within All Other are insignificant for all periods presented; therefore, UNIFI’s discussion and analysisfirst half of those activities is generally limitedfiscal 2024. In addition to their impact on consolidated results, where appropriate.

Significant highlights for the current periodunfavorable economic environment and the current six-month period includeinventory destocking measures taken by brands and retailers, the following each of which is outlined in more detail below:

Net sales for the current period increased $12,323, or 7.9%, to $167,478, compared to $155,155 for the prior period, and increased $11,433, or 7.4%, when excludingpressures have been present: (i) the impact of foreign currency translation;  

Net salesinflation on consumer spending, (ii) rising interest rates for consumers and customers, including the impact on the carrying costs of customer inventories, (iii) the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and (iv) the conflict in the Middle East and the potential impacts to petroleum pricing and geopolitics. UNIFI will continue to monitor these and other aspects of the current six-month period increased $16,596,economic environment and work closely with stakeholders to ensure business continuity and liquidity.

We recognize the disruption to global markets and supply chains caused by (i) Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and (ii) the conflict in the Middle East. While we had a raw material supplier based in Israel for which the recent supply levels have been insignificant, we have not been directly impacted by either conflict. Indirectly, we recognize that additional or 5.3%, to $331,720, compared to $315,124 for the prior six-month period, and increased $14,985, or 4.8%, when excluding the impact of foreign currency translation;

Revenues from PVA products for the current period grew more than 20% comparedprolonged impacts to the prior period,petroleum or other global markets could cause further inflationary pressures to our global raw material costs or unforeseen adverse impacts.

Input Costs and representedGlobal Production Volatility

Despite lowered input and freight costs and a marginally more than 45%stable labor pool during fiscal 2023 and 2024, the global demand volatility and uncertainty that existed in fiscal 2023 continued into fiscal 2024. The threat of recession and global tensions continue to create uncertainty. Such existing challenges and future uncertainty, particularly for rising input costs, labor productivity, and global demand, could worsen and/or continue for prolonged periods, materially impacting our consolidated net sales;

Gross margin was 13.5%sales and gross profit. Also, the need for future selling price adjustments in connection with inflationary costs could impact our ability to retain current customer programs and compete successfully for new programs in certain regions.

Cash Deposits and Financial Institution Risk

During fiscal 2023, certain regional bank crises and failures generated additional uncertainty and volatility in the financial and credit markets. UNIFI currently holds the vast majority of its cash deposits with large foreign banks in our associated operating regions, and management maintains the ability to repatriate cash to the U.S. relatively quickly when presently available. Accordingly, UNIFI has not modified its mix of financial institutions holding cash deposits, but UNIFI will continue to monitor the environment and current period, comparedevents to 14.3% forensure any increase in concentration or credit risk is appropriately and timely addressed. If any of our lending counterparties are unable to perform on their commitments, our liquidity could be impacted. We actively monitor all lending counterparties, and none have indicated that they may be unable to perform on their commitments. In addition, we periodically review our lending counterparties, considering the prior period,stability of the institutions and was 13.9% forother aspects of the current six-month period, comparedrelationships. Based on our monitoring activities, we currently believe our lending counterparties will be able to 14.5% for the prior six-month period;perform their commitments.

Operating income was $7,774 for the current period, compared to $9,038 for the prior period, and was $17,947 for the current six-month period, compared to $21,612 for the prior six-month period; and

Diluted EPS was $0.63 for the current period, compared to $0.25 for the prior period, and was $1.12 for the current six-month period, compared to $0.76 for the prior six-month period.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

UNIFI continuously reviews performance indicators to measure its success. These performance indicators form the basis of management’s discussion and analysis included below:

sales volume and revenue for UNIFI and for each reportable segment;

gross (loss) profit and gross margin for UNIFI and for each reportable segment;

Net income attributable to Unifi, Inc. (“Net Income”)net loss and diluted EPS;


Segment (Loss) Profit, which equals segment gross (loss) profit plus segment depreciation expense;

Segment Profit (Loss), which represents segment gross profit (loss) plus segment depreciation expense;

unit conversion margin, which represents unit net sales price less unit raw material costs, for UNIFI and for each reportable segment;

working capital, which represents current assets less current liabilities;

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), which represents Net Incomenet loss before net interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense;

Adjusted EBITDA, which represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude, equity in loss (earnings) of PAL, and, from time to time, certain other adjustments necessary to understand and compare the underlying results of UNIFI;

Adjusted Net Income,Loss, which represents Net Incomenet loss calculated under GAAP, adjusted to exclude the approximate after-tax impact of certain income or expense items (as well as specific impacts to the provision for income taxes) necessary to understand and compare the underlying results of UNIFI. Adjusted Net Income excludes certain amounts which management believes do not reflect the ongoing operations and performance of UNIFI and/or for which exclusion may be necessary to understand and compare the underlying results of UNIFI;

Adjusted EPS, which represents Adjusted Net IncomeLoss divided by UNIFI’s diluted weighted average common shares outstanding; and

Adjusted Working Capital, which representsequals receivables plus inventory,inventories and other current assets, less accounts payable and accrued expenses.

other current liabilities; and
Net Debt, which represents debt principal less cash and cash equivalents.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income,Loss, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Working Capital, and Net Debt (collectively, the “non-GAAP financial measures”) are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures are subjective, based on management’s belief as to which items should be included or excluded in order to provide the most reasonable and comparable view of the underlying operating performance of the business. We may, from time to time, modify the amounts used to determine our non-GAAP financial measures. When applicable, management’s discussion and analysis includes specific consideration for items that comprise the reconciliations of its non-GAAP financial measures.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures better reflect UNIFI’s underlying operations and performance and that their use, as operating performance measures, provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles, and ages of related assets, among otherwise comparable companies.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a measurement of operating performance because it assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items (a) items directly related to our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) andand/or (b) items that we would not expect to occur as a part of our normal business on a regular basis; (ii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; (iii) as a valuation measure for evaluating our operating performance and our capacity to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business; and (iv) as one measure in determining the value of other acquisitions and dispositions. Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance metric utilized in the determination of variable compensation. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity because it serves as a high-level proxy for cash generated from operations and is relevant to our fixed charge coverage ratio. Equity in loss (earnings) of PAL is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because such results do not reflect our operating performance.

Management uses Adjusted Net IncomeLoss and Adjusted EPS (i) as measurements of net operating performance because they assist us in comparing such performance on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of (a) items that we would not expect to occur as a part of our normal business on a regular basis and (b) components of the provision for income taxes that we would not expect to occur as a part of our underlying taxable operations; (ii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; and (iii) as measures in determining the value of other acquisitions and dispositions.

Historically, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS aimed to exclude the impact of the non-controlling interest in Renewables, while the consolidated amounts for such entity were required to be included in UNIFI’s financial amounts reported under GAAP.

Management uses Adjusted Working Capital as an indicator of UNIFI’s production efficiency and ability to manage inventoryinventories and receivables.

Management uses Net Debt as a liquidity and leverage metric to determine how much debt would remain if all cash and cash equivalents were used to pay down debt principal.

(1)
In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, UNIFI recorded a loss of $2,750 related to the dissolution of UNF.
(2)
In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, UNIFI incurred severance costs in connection with overall cost reduction efforts in the U.S.
(3)
In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, UNIFI recorded a recovery of income taxes in connection with filing amended tax returns in Brazil relating to certain income taxes paid in prior fiscal years.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the current period increased by $705, or 0.5%, and consolidated sales volumes increased 13.0%, compared to the prior period. The tablesincrease was primarily due to improvements in volumes in all segments, however sales levels remain below set forth reconciliationshistorical averages, primarily due to lower global demand in connection with the weakness in apparel sector and inventory destocking efforts of major brands and retailers, especially those impacting the Americas and Asia Segments.

Consolidated weighted average sales prices decreased 13.5%, primarily attributable to lower selling prices in response to lower input costs, along with (a) competitive pricing pressures in Brazil and (b) a greater mix of Chip product sales in the Americas Segment.

REPREVE® Fiber products for the current period comprised 33%, or $45,725, of consolidated net sales, compared to 31%, or $42,866, for the prior period.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross profit for the current period improved by $9,636, or 120.5%, compared to the prior period. Gross profit improved as a result of (i) increased sales volumes, (ii) cost saving initiatives, and (iii) more stable raw material costs. However, gross profit continues to be negatively impacted by weak fixed cost absorption in the Americas Segment, where utilization and productivity remain below historical averages due to depressed demand.

For the Americas Segment, gross loss improved due to (i) higher sales volumes, (ii) variable cost management efforts, and (iii) a more stable raw material cost environment, but remains adversely impacted by overall weak global demand and weak fixed cost absorption in connection with low production.
For the Brazil Segment, gross profit increased primarily due to (i) improved underlying unit margins and (ii) higher sales volumes.
For the Asia Segment, gross profit increased primarily due to (i) improved underlying margins and sales mix and (ii) higher sales volumes compared to the prior period despite continued weak global demand.

SG&A

SG&A for the current period increased compared to the prior period, primarily due to (i) higher compensation expenses prior to the cost reduction actions executed in the current period.

Provision (Benefit) for Bad Debts

The current period's provision reflects an increase for a specifically identified customer balance originating in the U.S. fiber market.

Restructuring Costs

Restructuring costs consisted of (i) a loss of $2,750 for the dissolution of UNF and (ii) severance charges of $2,351 in connection with overall cost reduction efforts in the U.S.

Other Operating Expense, Net

The current period and prior period include foreign currency transaction losses (gains) of $464 and ($78), respectively, with no other meaningful activity.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net increased in connection with higher debt principal and higher interest rates.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates

There was no material activity for the current period or the prior period.

Income Taxes

Provision (benefit) for income taxes and the effective tax rate were as follows:

The effective tax rate is subject to variation due to a number of factors, including: variability in pre-tax book income; the mix of income by jurisdiction; changes in deferred tax valuation allowances; and changes in statutes, regulations, and case law. Additionally, the impacts of discrete and other rate impacting items are more pronounced when income (loss) before income taxes (“Pre-tax Income”), Provision foris lower.

The decrease in the effective tax rate from the prior period to the current period is primarily attributable to a discrete tax benefit related to the recovery of certain Brazilian income taxes (“Tax Impact”)in the prior period.

Net Loss

The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to restructuring costs, higher bad debt expense, higher interest expense, net, and Net Income to higher income tax expense, partially offset by improved gross profit.

Consolidated sales volumes increased 14.5%, attributable to continued growth in sales of recycled polyester Chip and plastic bottle flake in the Polyester Segment and sales of staple fiber and other PVA products in the International Segment. Sales continue to expand in the International Segment as our PVA portfolio resonates with numerous customers. The increasechange in sales volumes in our Polyester and International Segments was partially offset by soft yarn sales in the Nylon Segment. We believe the softness in the domestic environment continues to be a challenge for the textile supply chain, while our nylon business results also reflect the current global trend of declines in demand for nylon socks, ladies’ hosiery and intimate apparel.

Consolidated average sales prices decreased 6.3%, attributable to disproportionate growth of lower-priced recycled polyester Chip, plastic bottle flake and staple fiber among the Polyester and International Segments, as well as a lower proportion of nylon products that carry higher selling prices. The decrease in consolidated average sales prices was partially offset by a net favorable foreign currency translation compared to the prior period of approximately $900, primarily associated with the strengthening of the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and the Brazilian Real (“BRL”).  PVA products comprised more than 45% of net sales for the currentAmericas Segment from the prior period while representing approximately 40% of net sales for fiscal 2017.


Consolidated Gross Profit

Gross profit forto the current period increased by $546, or 2.5%, as comparedwas primarily attributable to (i) the prior period. For the International Segment,net change in average selling price and sales mix that reflects both (a) lower input costs and (b) a larger proportion of lower-priced Chip sales in the current period gross margin rateand (ii) lower proportion of fiber sales volumes following continued weak global textile demand.

The improvement in lower-margin sales mix and pressure brought by higher costs comparedSegment Loss for the Americas Segment from the prior period to the prior period. For the Polyester Segment, the decline in gross margin ratecurrent period was primarily dueattributable to a rise invariable cost management efforts and more stable raw material costs a greater mix of lower margin product sales and incremental depreciation, primarily due to expanded recycling operations, partially offset by the conversion services performed for Eastman Chemical Company (“Eastman”) on bi-component machinery, a revenue stream that did not exist in the prior period. The Nylon Segment achieved an increase in gross margin rate due in part to a more favorable sales mix and cost management. Consolidated gross profit for the current period, also included approximately $200along with volume improvements. Segment Loss for the Americas Segment continued to be negatively impacted by weak fixed cost absorption as fiber production remains below historical averages. As fiber products carry a higher selling price and allocation of favorable foreign currency translation reflected in the International Segment.

Gross profit improved as a result of (i) an increasevariable cost management efforts and more stable raw material costs, along with increased sales volume. Gross profit was negatively impacted by weak fixed cost absorption in compensation expensesthe Americas Segment, where utilization and productivity are materially impactful to gross profit. Although raw material costs for the Americas Segment were stable in fiscal 2024, low production levels and weak demand were significantly adverse.

For the Americas Segment, gross loss improved due to recent talent acquisitionvariable cost management efforts and higher incentive compensation expenses and (ii) an increasemore stable raw material costs in supplemental retirement plan expenses due to comparatively higher performance of the stock market index benchmark,current six-month period, partially offset by other net decreases that include fees paidweak global demand and weak fixed cost absorption in connection with low production levels.

The current six-month period's provision reflects an increase for a specifically identified customer balance originating in the U.S. fiber market.

Restructuring Costs

Restructuring costs consisted of (i) a loss of $2,750 when UNIFI dissolved its interest rate resulting from fixing the variable portion of the interest rate on $75,000 of debt principal, beginning in May 2017, (ii) less interest capitalized to project costs and (iii) a prior period favorable mark-to-market adjustment on the historical interest rate swap that terminated in May 2017.

Additionally, the impacts of discrete and other rate impacting items are more pronounced when income (loss) before income taxes is lower.

The decrease in the effective tax rate from the prior six-month period to the current six-month period is primarily attributable to a discrete tax benefit related to the recovery of certain debt obligations. In connection with the transaction, UNIFI recognized a loss on sale of business of $1,662.

The effective tax rate for the current period is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the $4,500 tax benefit resulting from the revaluation of UNIFI’s domestic deferred tax balances for the lower U.S. statutory tax rate, the release of a $3,807 valuation allowance and foreign income being taxed at lower rates. These benefits were partially offset by a $1,700 provisional charge for the deemed mandatory repatriation of foreign earnings and profits, net of foreign tax credits, and by losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can currently be recognized.


The effective tax rate for the prior period is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign income being taxed at lower rates and a decrease in the valuation allowance for UNIFI’s investment in PAL.  These benefits were partially offset by losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can currently be recognized and state and local income taxes net of federal benefits.

Consolidated Net Income

Net Income for the current period was $11,802, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $4,591, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the prior period.  The increase was primarily attributable to (i) a significantly lower effective tax rate and (ii) a prior period loss on sale of business,gross profit, partially offset by higher bad debt expense and other operating expenses.

The change in net sales for the Americas Segment from the prior six-month period.

Consolidated sales volumes increased 11.0%, attributableperiod to continued growth in sales of recycled polyester Chip and plastic bottle flake in the Polyester Segment and staple fiber and other PVA products in the International Segment. Sales continue to expand in the International Segment as our PVA portfolio resonates with numerous customers. The increase in sales volumes was partially offset by soft yarn sales in the Polyester and Nylon Segments. We believe the softness in the domestic environment continues to be a challenge for the textile supply chain.  Our nylon business results also reflect the current global trend of declines in demand for nylon socks, ladies’ hosiery and intimate apparel.

Consolidated average sales prices decreased 5.5%, attributable to disproportionate growth of lower-priced recycled polyester Chip, plastic bottle flake and staple fiber among the Polyester and International Segments, as well as a lower proportion of nylon products


that carry higher selling prices. The decrease in consolidated sales pricing was partially offset by a benefit from net favorable foreign currency translation compared to the prior period of approximately $1,600, primarily associated with the strengthening of the BRL and the RMB.

Consolidated Gross Profit

Gross profit for the current six-month period increased by $291, or 0.6%, as comparedwas primarily attributable to (i) the prior six-month period.  The Nylon Segment achieved an increasenet change in gross margin rate due in part to a more favorableaverage selling price and sales mix that reflects both (a) lower input costs and cost management. For the International Segment, gross profit increased due to(b) a larger proportion of lower-priced Chip and Flake sales growth; however, margins were lower due to a less favorable sales mix and pressure from higher costs. For the Polyester Segment, the decline in gross margin rate was primarily due to a greater mix of lower margin product sales and incremental depreciation, primarily due to expanded recycling operations, partially offset by the conversion services performed for Eastman on bi-component machinery, a revenue stream that did not exist in the prior six-month period. Consolidated gross profit for the current six-month period also included approximately $400and (ii) lower fiber sales volumes following weaker global textile demand.

The improvement in Segment Loss for the Americas Segment from the prior six-month period to the current six-month period was primarily attributable to variable cost management efforts and more stable raw material costs in the current six-month period. Segment Loss for the Americas Segment continued to be negatively impacted by low fiber sales volumes. As fiber products carry a higher selling price and allocation of favorable foreign currency translation.

Further details regarding the changes in net salesproduction costs versus Chip and Flake, lower fiber production drives weaker fixed cost absorption and adversely impacts gross profit and gross profit, by reportable segment, follow.margin.

The increase in net sales for the International Segment was attributable to (i) higher sales volumes from our Asian subsidiaries due to growth in our REPREVE® portfolios, particularly staple fiber and recycled polyester Chip, (ii) higher sales volumes at our Brazilian subsidiary due to increased demand for synthetic yarns, including air-covered PVA products for use in applications such as stretch denim, and (iii) favorable foreign currency translation due to the strengthening of the BRL and the RMB. These benefits were partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price in Asia due to a greater mix of lower-priced product sales.

The BRL weighted average exchange rate was 3.20 BRL/USD and 3.27 BRL/USD for the current six-month period and the prior six-month period, respectively.

Total SG&A expenses were higher for the current six-month period compared to the prior six-month period, primarily as a result of an increase in compensation expenses due to recent talent acquisition and other net increases.

Consolidated Benefit for Bad Debts

The benefit in the prior six-month period reflects a decrease in the reserve against specifically identified customer balances in the Polyester and International Segments.

Consolidated Other Operating Expense, Net

The change in other operating expense, net is primarily attributable to foreign currency losses in the current six-month period, mostly resulting from changes in the value of USDs held by our subsidiary in China.


Consolidated Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net increased from the prior six-month period as reflected below, primarily due to (i) a higher weighted average interest rate resulting from fixing the variable portion of the interest rate on $75,000 of debt principal, beginning in May 2017, (ii) less interest capitalized to project costs and (iii) a prior period favorable mark-to-market adjustment on the historical interest rate swap that terminated in May 2017.

On December 23, 2016, UNIFI, through a wholly owned foreign subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell its historical 60% equity ownership interest in Renewables to the existing third-party joint venture partner for $500 in cash and release of certain debt obligations. In connection with the transaction, UNIFI recognized a loss on sale of business of $1,662.

UNIFI’s 34% share of PAL’s earnings increased in the current six-month period versus the prior six-month period, which was primarily attributable to improved operating margins and lower depreciation expense.  The earnings from the nylon joint ventures experienced a decrease primarily due to softness in the nylon market, consistent with the results of the Nylon Segment, as well as higher raw material costs.

The effective tax rate for the current six-month period is lower thanattributable to (i) an improved gross margin rate associated with a strong sales mix of REPREVE products and (ii) the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the $4,500 tax benefit resulting from the revaluation of UNIFI’s domestic deferred tax balances for the lower U.S. statutory tax rate, the release of a $3,807 valuation allowance and foreign income being taxed at lower rates. These benefits were partiallyincrease in sales volumes discussed above, offset by a $1,700 provisional charge for the deemed mandatory repatriation ofunfavorable foreign earnings and profits, net of foreign tax credits, and by losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can currently be recognized.


currency translation effects.

The effective tax rate for the prior six-month period is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign income being taxed at lower rates and a decrease in the valuation allowance for UNIFI’s investment in PAL.  These benefits were partially offset by losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can currently be recognized and state and local income taxes net of federal benefits.

Consolidated Net Income

Net Income for the current six-month period was $20,762, or $1.12 per diluted share, compared to $13,994, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the prior six-month period.  The increase was primarily attributable to a significantly lower effective tax rate, higher earnings from PAL and a loss on sale of business in the prior six-month period, partially offset by higher operating expenses and interest expense.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the current six-month period was $29,716, compared to $32,379 for the prior six-month period.  The decrease was primarily attributable to higher operating expenses, as described in the discussions above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Note 5, “Long-Term Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements includes the detail of UNIFI’s debt obligations and terms and conditions thereof. Further discussion and analysis of liquidity and capital resources follow.

UNIFI’s primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, and stockshare repurchases. UNIFI’s primary sources of capital are cash generated from operations, and borrowings available under the ABL Revolver.2022 Credit Agreement, and asset financing arrangements. For the current six-month period, cash generated fromprovided by operations was $20,389,$2,517, and, at December 24, 2017, excess31, 2023, availability under the ABL Revolver was $54,379.$43,082.

As of December 24, 2017,31, 2023, all of UNIFI’s $133,540$132,760 of debt obligations were guaranteed by certain of its domestic operating subsidiaries, while nearly all of UNIFI’s cash and cash equivalents were held by its foreign subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents held by such foreign subsidiaries may not be presently available to fund UNIFI’s domestic capital requirements, including its domestic debt obligations. UNIFI employs a variety of tax planning and financing strategies to ensure that its worldwide cash is available in the locations where it is needed.

Debt Obligations

ABL FacilityUNIFI’s primary cash requirements, in addition to normal course operating activities (e.g. working capital and payroll), primarily include (i) capital expenditures that generally have commitments of up to 12 months, (ii) contractual obligations that support normal course ongoing operations and production, (iii) operating leases and finance leases, (iv) debt service, and (v) share repurchases.

On March 26, 2015, Unifi, Inc. and its subsidiary, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., entered into an Amended and RestatedLiquidity Considerations

Following the establishment of the 2022 Credit Agreement, (as subsequently amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) for a $200,000 senior secured credit facility (the ABL Facility) with a syndicate of lenders.  The ABL Facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (the ABL Revolver)UNIFI’s global cash and a term loan that can be reset upliquidity positions are sufficient to a maximum amount of $100,000, once per fiscal year, if certain conditions are met (the ABL Term Loan). The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020.

The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all owned propertysustain its operations and assets (together with all proceedsmeet its growth needs. Additionally, UNIFI considers opportunities to repatriate existing cash to reduce debt and products) of Unifi, Inc., Unifi Manufacturing, Inc. and certain subsidiary guarantors (the “Loan Parties”). It is also secured by a first-priority security interest in all (or 65%preserve or enhance liquidity. However, further degradation in the casemacroeconomic environment could introduce additional liquidity risk and require UNIFI to limit cash outflows for discretionary activities while further utilizing available and additional forms of certain first-tier controlled foreign corporations, as required bycredit.

We do not currently anticipate that any adverse events or circumstances will place critical pressure on our liquidity position or our ability to fund our operations and expected business growth. Should global demand, economic activity, or input availability decline considerably for an even longer period of time, UNIFI maintains the lenders)ability to (i) seek additional credit or financing arrangements and/or (ii) re-implement cost reduction initiatives to preserve cash and secure the longevity of the stockbusiness and operations. Management continues to (i) explore cost savings opportunities and (ii) prioritize repayment of (or other ownership interests in) eachdebt in the current operating environment.

When business levels increase, we expect to use cash in support of working capital needs.

The following outlines the Loan Parties (other than Unifi, Inc.) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties, together with all proceeds and products thereof.

If excess availability under the ABL Revolver falls below the defined Trigger Level, a financial covenant requiring the Loan Partiesattributes relating to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.00 becomes effective. The Trigger Levelour credit facility as of December 24, 2017 was $23,750. In addition, the ABL Facility contains restrictions on particular payments and investments, including31, 2023:


certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and share repurchases. Subject to specific provisions, the ABL Term Loan may be prepaid at par, in whole or in part, at any time before the maturity date, at UNIFI’s discretion.

ABL Facility borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, or the Base Rate (as defined below) plus an applicable margin of 0.50% to 1.00%, with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. The applicable margin is based on (i) the excess availability under the ABL Revolver and (ii) the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter. The Base Rate means the greater of (a) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or (c) LIBOR plus 1.00%. UNIFI’s ability to borrow under the ABL Revolver is limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to certain conditions and limitations. There is also a monthly unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25%. As of December 24, 2017,

UNIFI was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants in the Amended2022 Credit Agreement, andAgreement;
excess availability before the excess availabilityTrigger Level (as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement) under the ABL Revolver was $54,379.  At December 24, 2017, $21,002;
the fixed charge coverage ratioTrigger Level was 1.11 to 1.00$22,080; and UNIFI had $400
$0 of standby letters of credit none of which had been drawn upon.

UNIFI currently maintains three interest rate swaps that fix LIBOR at approximately 1.9% on $75,000 of variable-rate debt under the ABL Facility. Such swaps are scheduled to terminate in May 2022.

In addition to making payments in accordance with the scheduled maturities of debt required under its existing debt obligations, UNIFI may, from time to time, elect to repay additional amounts borrowed under the ABL Facility. Funds to make such repayments may come from the operating cash flows of the business or other sources and will depend upon UNIFI’s strategy, prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors.

Working capital increased from $167,583 as of June 25, 2017 to $195,812 as of December 24, 2017, while Adjusted Working Capital increased from $134,883 to $148,676. Working capital and Adjusted Working Capital are within our range of expectations based on the composition of the underlying business and global structure.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents reflects the strong performance of our international subsidiaries and the intent to leave cash available in foreign jurisdictions for future expansion. The decrease in receivables, net is attributable to lower sales associated with the routine December shutdown period. The increase in inventories is primarily attributable to increased international sales activity and the impact of the routine December shutdown period. The increase in other current assets is attributable to an increase in income taxes receivable.  The decrease in accounts payable is mainly due to the routine December shutdown period. The decrease in accrued expenses is primarily attributable to a net decrease in amounts due to employees, resulting from the timing of accrual and payment of (i) variable compensation earned in fiscal 2017 and (ii) routine payrolls.  The change in other current liabilities is insignificant.

Capital Projects

During the current six-month period, UNIFI invested approximately $11,400 in capital projects, primarily relating to routine maintenance expenditures as well as the completion and start-up of the fourth production line in the REPREVE® Recycling Center, which is intended to increase UNIFI’s capacity to produce recycled polyester Chip for internal consumption and external sales.

Through the remainder of fiscal 2018, UNIFI expects to invest an additional $18,600 in capital projects (for an aggregate fiscal 2018 estimate of $30,000), which include (i) making further improvements in production capabilities and technology enhancements in the Americas and (ii) routine annual maintenance capital expenditures to allow continued efficient production.

The total amount ultimately invested in fiscal 2018 could be more or less than the anticipated amount, depending on the timing and scale of contemplated initiatives and other factors, and is expected to be funded by a combination of cash from operations and borrowings under the ABL Revolver.  UNIFI expects the recent capital projects to provide benefits to future profitability. The additional assets from these capital projects consist primarily of machinery and equipment.

As a result of our continued focus on REPREVE® and other PVA yarns as part of our mix enrichment strategy, we may incur additional expenditures for capital projects beyond the currently estimated amount, as we pursue new, currently unanticipated opportunities in order to expand our manufacturing capabilities for these products, for other strategic growth initiatives or to further streamline our manufacturing process, in which case we may be required to increase the amount of our working capital and long-term borrowings. If our strategy is successful, we would expect higher gross profit as a result of the combination of potentially higher sales volumes and an improved mix from higher-margin products.


Stock Repurchase Program

On April 23, 2014, UNIFI announced a stock repurchase program (the “2014 SRP”) to authorize UNIFI to acquire up to $50,000 of its common stock. Under the 2014 SRP, UNIFI is authorized to repurchase shares at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at such times and prices and in such manner as determined by management, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. Repurchases, if any, are expected to be financed through cash generated from operations and borrowings under the ABL Revolver, and are subject to applicable limitations and restrictions as set forth in the ABL Facility. The 2014 SRP has no stated expiration or termination date, and there is no time limit or specific time frame otherwise for repurchases. UNIFI may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not beneficial or advisable.

UNIFI made no repurchases of its shares of common stock during the current six-month period. As of December 24, 2017, UNIFI had repurchased a total of 806 shares, at an average price of $27.79 (for a total of $22,409, inclusive of commission costs) pursuant to the 2014 SRP. As of December 24, 2017, $27,603 remained available for share repurchases under the 2014 SRP.

Liquidity Summary

UNIFI has met its historical liquidity requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, and other operating needs from its cash flows from operations and available borrowings. UNIFI believes that its existing cash balances, cash provided by operating activities, and borrowings available under the ABL Revolvercredit facility will enable UNIFI to comply with the terms of its indebtedness and meet its foreseeable liquidity requirements. Domestically, UNIFI’s cash balances, cash provided by operating activities, and borrowings available under the ABL Revolver continue to be sufficient to fund UNIFI’s domestic operating activities as well as cash commitments for its investing and financing activities. For its existing foreign operations, UNIFI expects its existing cash balances, and cash provided by operating activities, and available financing arrangements will provide the needed liquidity to fund its foreignthe associated operating activities and any foreign investing activities, such as future capital expenditures. However, expansionUNIFI’s operations in Asia and Brazil are in a position to obtain local country financing arrangements due to the operating results of oureach subsidiary.

Adjusted Working Capital decreased $24,044 from July 2, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

The decrease in receivables, net was primarily due to a decrease in sales and the timing of cash receipts. The decrease in inventories was primarily attributable to lower weighted average costs in the current six-month period and lower units on hand. The decrease in accounts payable followed the decrease in inventories and production activity in the current six-month period. The increase in other current liabilities primarily reflects the liabilities recorded in the current period for severance and the dissolution of UNF. The change in income taxes receivable reflects the foreign operations may require cash sourced from our domestic subsidiaries.tax payments made in the current six-month period. The change in income taxes payable reflects the impact of the interim tax provision. The changes in other current assets, current operating lease liabilities, and current portion of long-term debt were insignificant.
