Unifi Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results

 

 

GREENSBORO, N.C., April 24, 2013 – Unifi, Inc. (NYSE: UFI) today released preliminary operating results for its third fiscal quarter ended March 24, 2013. The Company reported net income of $1.4 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to net income of $7.5 million, or $0.38 per share, for the prior year fiscal quarter ended March 25, 2012. Net sales decreased $10.8 million, or 6.0%, to $168 million for the March 2013 quarter compared to net sales of $179 million for the March 2012 quarter. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) for the March 2013 quarter were $8.4 million. The quarter over prior year quarter net income decline is primarily the result of the Company extending the length of its holiday shutdown in the current quarter, a $5.1 million decrease in the Company’s share of earnings from its equity affiliates and a one-time charge related to the early extinguishment of outstanding debt.

 

Some highlights for the March quarter included:

 

Paying off the $13.8 million remaining balance on the Company’s Term B loan;

 

Improving Polyester and Nylon working capital levels, sales volumes and capacity utilization as the Company moved through the quarter;

 

Strong operating performance in China; and,

 

Repurchasing and retiring 571 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $16.93 per share.


The Company reported net income of $6.1 million, or $0.30 per share, for the nine months ended March 24, 2013 compared to net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, for the prior year period. Net sales decreased $3.9 million, or 0.8%, to $513 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 compared to net sales of $517 million for the prior year period. Results for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 were positively impacted by a 220 basis point improvement in gross margin and an $8.8 million reduction in interest expense resulting from the continued successful execution of the Company’s deleveraging strategy.

Unifi Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results – page 2


"The Company improved margins during the quarter despite operating in an environment where raw material prices increased more sharply than anticipated, and we aggressively managed our inventories and cash,” said Bill Jasper, Chairman and CEO of Unifi. "The on-going stability of the domestic economy, improvements in our operational efficiencies, signs of recovery in our global operations and continued growth of our premier value-added products all point to a strong June 2013 quarter, which should create positive momentum leading into our 2014 fiscal year. Our confidence in our business and its ability to generate cash from operations also allowed us to begin purchasing stock under our $50 million stock repurchase program, and we expect to continue doing so, while maintaining a strong balance sheet.”


Cash-on-hand as of March 24, 2013 was $15.9 million, an increase of $0.7 million compared to cash-on-hand as of December 23, 2012. Total debt at the end of the March 2013 quarter was $98.4 million compared to $106.7 million total debt as of December 23, 2012.


"During this fiscal year, strong operating cash flow combined with working capital improvements and distributions from our equity affiliates have allowed the Company to reduce net debt by $28.2 million and repurchase $9.7 million worth of its outstanding shares of common stock, while maintaining excellent liquidity," said Ron Smith, Chief Financial Officer of Unifi. “Much of the working capital improvement during the fiscal year came from the Company’s strategic decision to extend its holiday shutdown period into the March 2013 quarter, which enabled us to reduce adjusted working capital by $4.3 million compared to the December 2012 quarter, despite rising raw material prices."


Roger Berrier, President and Chief Operating Officer of Unifi, added: “We are very pleased with the results achieved from our latest efforts to market REPREVE® to consumers and educate them about the benefits of recycling and choosing products made with recycled content. Our program with X Games Aspen 2013 generated more than 42 million consumer impressions and engaged the target audience with the REPREVE brand. This positive exposure not only creates valuable awareness with consumers, but helps create demand for REPREVE and our other premier value-added products with downstream customers. We continue to be on track to double our premier value-added business by 2014, which is an important part of our mix enrichment strategy.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES


Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") because management believes such measures are useful to investors.


EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates and Adjusted EBITDA


EBITDA represents net income or loss attributable to Unifi, Inc. before income tax expense, net interest expense, and depreciation and amortization expense (excluding interest portion of amortization).  Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expense net of distributions, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, loss on previously held equity interest, refund of Brazilian non-income related tax, operating expenses for Repreve Renewables and certain other adjustments.  Such other adjustments include gains or losses on sales or disposals of property, plant and equipment, currency and derivative gains or losses, restructuring and certain employee severance and healthcare expenses, and other operating or non-operating income or expense items necessary to understand the underlying operating results of the Company.  Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates adjusted to exclude equity in earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates.  We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We also present Adjusted 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.


EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates and Adjusted EBITDA are alternative views of performance used by management and we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these performance measures.  Our 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 (a) items directly related to our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) and (b) items that we would not expect to occur as a part of our normal operating business; (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 also a key performance metric utilized in the determination of variable compensation.


We believe that the use of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates, and Adjusted EBITDA 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.  We also believe Adjusted 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 decreases as deductible interest expense increases; depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges.  Equity in earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates is excluded because such earnings or losses do not reflect our operating performance.  The other items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are excluded in order to better reflect the performance of our continuing operations.

Unifi Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results – page 9

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(continued)


In evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates, and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives 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.    


Each of our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates measures 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 Adjusted EBITDA (or our Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates) 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 indicative of our on-going 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.


Because of these limitations, neither of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates should be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations, including those under our outstanding debt obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") because management believes such measures are useful to investors.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income or loss attributable to Unifi, Inc. before income tax expense, net interest expense, and depreciation and amortization expense (excluding interest portion of amortization).  Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expense net of distributions, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, loss on previously held equity interest, refund of Brazilian non-income related tax, operating expenses for Repreve Renewables, and certain other adjustments.  Such other adjustments include gains or losses on sales or disposals of property, plant and equipment, currency and derivative gains or losses, restructuring and certain employee severance and healthcare expenses, and other operating or non-operating income or expense items necessary to understand the underlying results of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates adjusted to exclude equity in earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates.  We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We also present Adjusted 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.

 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates and Adjusted EBITDA are alternative views of performance used by management and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these performance measures.  Our 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 (a) items directly related to our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) and (b) items that we would not expect to occur as a part of our normal operating business; (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 also a key performance metric utilized in the determination of variable compensation.  We believe that the use of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates, and Adjusted EBITDA 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.  We also believe Adjusted 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 decreases as deductible interest expense increases; depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges.  Equity in earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates is excluded because such earnings or losses do not reflect our operating performance.  The other items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are excluded in order to better reflect the performance of our continuing operations. In evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates, and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives 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.

 Non-GAAP Financial Measures - continued
  Each of our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates measures 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 Adjusted EBITDA (or our Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates) 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 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.

 Because of these limitations, neither of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates should be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations, including those under our outstanding debt obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.
