Unifi Announces Fourth Quarter Results
GREENSBORO, N.C. - August 3, 2006 - Unifi, Inc. (NYSE:UFI), today released operating results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 25, 2006.
Net income for the current quarter, including discontinued operations, was a net loss of $5.4 million or $0.10 per share, which is an improvement over a net loss of $9.0 million or $0.17 per share for the prior year June quarter. Net income for the current quarter was negatively impacted by a pre-tax loss of $2.9 million associated with the early extinguishment of debt. The Company also reported a net loss of $14.4 million or $0.28 per share for the 2006 fiscal year, which represents an improvement over a net loss of $41.2 million or $0.79 per share for the 2005 fiscal year.
Excluding discontinued operations and extraordinary items, the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $5.2 million or $0.10 per share compared to a net loss of $12.4 million or $0.24 per share for the prior year June quarter. The Company also reported a net loss from continuing operations of $14.7 million or $0.28 per share for the 2006 fiscal year, which compares favorably to the net loss of $19.7 million or $0.38 per share for the 2005 fiscal year.
"Our results for the current fiscal year mark the second straight year of improvement. We have reduced our net loss by $55.4 million, which improvement has been driven by continued successful execution of our internal plans," said Bill Lowe, Chief Operating Officer and CFO for Unifi. "We also successfully refinanced our long-term debt during this last fiscal quarter providing the flexibility and time to execute our longer-term external strategies."

Net sales for the June quarter were $183.2 million, a decrease of $17.2 million or 8.6 percent compared to net sales of $200.4 million for the prior year June quarter. Net sales of $738.8 million for the 2006 fiscal year represent a decrease of $55.0 million, or 6.9 percent, over 2005 fiscal year net sales of $793.8 million.
Brian Parke, Chairman and CEO for Unifi, said, "In an environment of rising raw material prices, the ability to exceed our forecast and improve the results of our underlying business during the 2006 fiscal year, reflects the soundness of the strategies that have been in place for more than two years. We will continue to stay the course in terms of our domestic and global growth plans, as we evaluate and pursue additional opportunities to consolidate the domestic industry. We remain keenly aware of the need to return to profitability and create value to our shareholders."
