Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2017 Operational Review

 

Net sales were $171.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to net sales of $163.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.  Sales growth was led by operations in Asia and Brazil, partially offset by challenging domestic market conditions. Operating income was $13.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to $13.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

 

Net income was $9.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to net income of $10.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.  Net income for the fiscal 2017 quarter benefitted from a lower effective tax rate, but was unfavorably impacted by higher administrative expenses. Basic EPS was $0.53 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to $0.57 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, while Adjusted EPS was $0.53 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to $0.62 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $18.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to $20.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.  Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial

measures. The schedules included in this press release calculate Adjusted EPS and reconcile Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to Net income attributable to Unifi, Inc.

 

Foreign currency translation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 resulted in an increase to net sales of $1.9 million and gross profit of $0.5 million compared to the prior fiscal year fourth quarter.

 

Net debt (debt principal less cash and cash equivalents) was $94.0 million at June 25, 2017, compared to $106.4 million at June 26, 2016.

 

Fiscal 2017 Operational Review

 

Net sales were $647.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2017, compared to net sales of $643.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016.  PVA portfolio performance in Asia and Brazil provided growth against difficult domestic market conditions.  Operating income increased to $43.8 million in fiscal 2017 compared to $42.2 million in fiscal 2016. Lower bad debt and other operating expenses were partially offset by higher administrative expenses, which reflect investments aimed at increasing top-line growth, specifically through strategic planning, talent acquisition and commercial expansion.

 

Net income was $32.9 million for fiscal 2017, compared to $34.4 million for fiscal 2016.  Net income for fiscal 2017 was favorably impacted by a lower effective tax rate, but adversely impacted by a loss of approximately $1.7 million associated with a non-core divestiture and an approximately $2.2 million* decline in earnings from Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”).  After-tax earnings from PAL declined from approximately $4.0 million* in fiscal 2016 to approximately $1.8 million* in fiscal 2017. Basic EPS was $1.81 for fiscal 2017, compared to $1.93 for fiscal 2016.

 

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, both excluding the loss from a non-core divestiture, were $34.5 million and $1.90, respectively, for fiscal 2017, compared to $35.9 million and $2.01, respectively, for fiscal 2016.  Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 were impacted by weaker results from PAL.  Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes changes in earnings from PAL, was $65.6 million for fiscal 2017, compared to $65.4 million for fiscal 2016.

 

Foreign currency translation in fiscal 2017 resulted in an increase to net sales of $9.8 million and gross profit of $1.8 million compared to the prior fiscal year.

 

* The estimate of after-tax earnings for PAL utilizes the 35% U.S. federal tax rate.

Fiscal 2018 Outlook

 

For fiscal 2018, the Company anticipates:

 

 

Volume growth, assuming a stable raw material pricing environment

 

Revenue growth in the low-single digit percentage range

 

Operating income and earnings growth in the mid-single digit percentage range, excluding PAL

 

Capital expenditures of approximately $35 million

 

Effective tax rate in the mid 20% range

 

At the start of fiscal 2018, the Company received a $6.8 million distribution from PAL.

 

Mr. Hall concluded, “While we enter fiscal 2018 with a somewhat soft domestic environment in the retail and apparel markets, our global performance remains quite strong.  Further, we expect PVA sales to exceed 40% of our consolidated portfolio in fiscal 2018 as REPREVE® and our branded products continue to gain acceptance and broader awareness.  As a result, we believe we will see improved contributions from our strategic investments, such as our REPREVE® Bottle Processing Center and the REPREVE® Recycling Center.  Therefore, we expect to see growth in both revenue and earnings during fiscal 2018.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain non-GAAP financial measures included herein are designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Working Capital (collectively, the “non-GAAP financial measures”).

EBITDA represents Net income attributable to Unifi, Inc. before net interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude equity in earnings of Parkdale America, LLC, key employee transition costs, loss on sale of business and certain other adjustments necessary to understand and compare the underlying results of the Company.

Adjusted Net Income represents Net income attributable to Unifi, Inc. 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 the Company. Adjusted Net Income excludes certain amounts which management believes do not reflect the ongoing operations and performance of the Company, such as key employee transition costs and loss on sale of business.

Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the Company’s basic weighted average common shares outstanding.

Adjusted Working Capital represents receivables plus inventory, less accounts payable and accrued expenses, which is an indicator of the Company’s production efficiency and ability to manage its inventory and receivables.

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. The Company may, from time to time, modify the amounts used to determine its non-GAAP financial measures.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures better reflect the Company’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 (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 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 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; and depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges. Equity in earnings of Parkdale America, LLC is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because such earnings do not reflect our operating performance.

Management uses Adjusted Net Income 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 Renewables were required to be included in the Company’s financial amounts reported under GAAP.

In evaluating non-GAAP financial measures, investors should be aware that, in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments included herein. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as indicating that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Each of our non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results or liquidity measures as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are (i) it is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows; (ii) it does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not indicative of our ongoing operations; (iii) it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (iv) it does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to make payments on our debt; (v) it does not reflect our future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (vi) it does not reflect limitations on or costs related to transferring earnings from our subsidiaries to us; and (vii) other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not 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 these measures only as supplemental information.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included herein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws about the financial condition and results of operations of the Company that 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,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek,” “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; 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 products; the financial condition of the Company’s customers; the loss of a significant customer; the success of the Company’s strategic business initiatives; volatility of financial and credit markets; the ability to service indebtedness and fund capital expenditures and strategic initiatives; availability of and access to credit on reasonable terms; changes in currency exchange, interest and inflation rates; fluctuations in production costs; the ability to protect intellectual property; employee relations; the impact of environmental, health and safety regulations; the operating performance of joint ventures and other equity investments; and the accurate financial reporting of information from equity method investees.

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 laws. The above and other risks and uncertainties are described in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, and additional risks or uncertainties may be described from time to time in other reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
