EXPLANATORY NOTE

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are those that do not relate solely to historical fact. They include, but are not limited to, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance, achievements or events. They may contain words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “will,” or words or phrases of similar meaning.

These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from trends, plans or expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements. New risks can emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of these risks, nor can we assess the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, we urge you to read this report completely with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we plan or expect. We will not update these forward-looking statements, even if our situation changes in the future, except as required by federal securities laws.

 

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

See the information disclosed in Item 7.01 below which is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 2.02.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

EBITDA represents net loss before net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and loss or income from discontinued operations. We present EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance and ability to service debt. We also present EBITDA because we believe such measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry and in measuring the ability of “high-yield” issuers to meet debt service obligations.

We believe EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity, because cash expenditures on interest are, by definition, available to pay interest, and tax expense is inversely correlated to interest expense because tax expense goes down as deductible interest expense goes up; depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges.

In evaluating EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or “GAAP,” and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Our EBITDA measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

    it does not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

    it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

    it does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

 

    although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and our EBITDA measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

    it is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;

 

    it does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations;


    it does not reflect limitations on or costs related to transferring earnings from our subsidiaries to us; and

 

    other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

The following table presents our calculation of EBITDA reconciled to net loss:

 

     Fiscal Years Ended  
     June 25,
2006
    June 26,
2005
    June 27,
2004
 
     (in thousands)  

Net loss

   $ (14,366 )   $ (41,225 )   $ (69,793 )

Net interest and amortization expense

     14,758       18,423       16,546  

Depreciation

     48,669       51,542       56,226  

Income taxes

     (1,170 )     (13,483 )     (25,113 )

Loss (income) from discontinued operations(a)

EBITDA(b)

   $ 47,531     $ 37,901     $ 3,510  
                        
 
  (a) In July 2004, we announced the closing of our European manufacturing operations and associated sales offices. We ceased operating our dyed facility in Manchester, England in June 2004 and ceased our manufacturing operations in Ireland in October 2004. We ceased all other European operations by June 2005 and sold the real property, plant and equipment of our European division in fiscal years 2005 and 2006. In July 2005, we announced that we had decided to exit the sourcing business and, as of the end of fiscal year 2006, we had fully liquidated the business.
  (b) EBITDA includes $1.8 million, $0.8 million and $0.6 million of interest income at Unifi do Brasil, Ltda, our Brazilian subsidiary, that were recorded as other (income) expenses, net and would, if recorded as interest income, offset our net interest expense in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Giving effect to such offsets, EBITDA would have been $45.7 million, $37.1 million and $2.9 million for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We expect to record such amounts as interest income in future periods.

The following table reconciles EBITDA to net cash provided by continuing operating activities:

  (d) In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, we reduced our inventories, including certain slow-moving items, in order to improve our cash position and reduce our working capital requirements.

Our bad debt expense for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $1.3 million, $13.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Excluding the bad debt expense of $8.2 million associated with the bankruptcy of Collins & Aikman, our bad debt expense for fiscal year 2005 would have been $5.0 million.
