UNIFI®, Makers of REPREVE®, Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2024 Results
Sales and profitability trends accelerated momentum through the second half of the fiscal year, as customer engagement and innovation focus has prepared Company to pivot to growth moving forward
Outlook for fiscal 2025 includes double-digit revenue growth and significantly enhanced margins and profitability
GREENSBORO, N.C., August 21, 2024 – Unifi, Inc. (NYSE: UFI) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “UNIFI”), leading innovator in recycled and synthetic yarn, today released operating results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2024 Overview
Eddie Ingle, Chief Executive Officer of Unifi, Inc., stated, “We are pleased to close our fiscal 2024 with growing momentum and believe the proactive, strategic initiatives we took throughout the year have positioned UNIFI to pivot to growth and stronger profitability as we move forward. Our financial performance over the last few quarters has shown consistent top-line growth, and we reported our third consecutive quarter of gross profit improvement. To maintain this progress, we have been reinvesting our cost savings and increased profits into areas of our business that we believe will drive additional revenue and margin-enhancing opportunities over the long-term. Some of these reinvestment efforts have already begun to take shape, evident by our recent innovation announcements, including our new ThermaLoop™ Insulation solution and the broadening of our Textile Takeback program across
filament and staple fiber. We are excited about the global opportunities that lie ahead of us, and we believe that we remain on the right path toward increasing shareholder value.”
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2023
Net sales increased to $157.5 million from $151.1 million, primarily due to higher sales volumes for each segment, partially offset by lower average selling prices associated with sales mix changes and lower raw material costs, particularly in the Americas Segment. Competitive market share gains helped secure additional sales volumes in both the Americas Segment and the Brazil Segment.
Gross profit increased to $10.8 million from $6.0 million. Brazil Segment gross profit improved by $3.9 million, primarily due to pricing and market share gains. Asia Segment gross profit improved by $1.0 million, primarily due to higher sales volumes.
Operating loss was $0.8 million compared to $13.7 million. The underlying improvement was primarily due to the increase in gross profit, while the prior year's operating loss included an $8.2 million impairment charge for abandonment of specialized machinery constructed in the Americas. Net loss was $4.0 million compared to $15.3 million. Adjusted EPS* was ($0.22) and Adjusted EBITDA* was $5.9 million, compared to ($0.39) and $1.7 million, respectively.
Fiscal 2025 Outlook
First Quarter Fiscal 2025
UNIFI expects the following first quarter fiscal 2025 results:
Full Year Fiscal 2025
UNIFI expects the following for fiscal 2025:
Ingle concluded, “As we look towards fiscal 2025 and beyond, our proactive innovation and cost initiatives we’ve taken over the last several quarters have positioned us to pivot to growth in both our REPREVE Fiber business and our beyond apparel initiatives. We continue to remain focused on diligently managing our balance sheet and operations to ensure that we are well-positioned to not only support our customers’ needs with innovative products, but also deliver value for our stakeholders through improved financial performance.”
* Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. The schedules included in this press release reconcile each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
** Guidance provided is a non-GAAP figure presented on an adjusted basis. For further details, see the non-GAAP financial measures information presented in the schedules included in this press release.

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 (Loss) Income, Adjusted EPS, and Net Debt (together, the “non-GAAP financial measures”).
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.
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.
This press release also includes certain forward-looking information that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts because a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require UNIFI to predict the timing and likelihood of potential future events such as restructurings, M&A activity, contract modifications, and other infrequent or unusual gains and losses. Neither the timing nor likelihood of these events, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, a reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided.
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 it serves as a high-level proxy for cash generated from operations.
Management uses Adjusted Net (Loss) 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.
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.
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 investors 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. Investors 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 UNIFI that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations about our future economic performance, considering the information currently available to management. An example of such forward-looking statements include, among others, guidance pertaining to our financial outlook. The words “believe,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “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, and 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 UNIFI competes, including economic and political factors over which UNIFI has no control; changes in consumer spending, customer preferences, fashion trends, and end-uses for UNIFI's products; the financial condition of UNIFI’s customers; the loss of a significant customer or brand partner; natural disasters, industrial accidents, power or water shortages, extreme weather conditions, and other disruptions at one of our 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; the success of UNIFI’s strategic business initiatives; the volatility of financial and credit 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 our brands; employee relations; the ability to attract, retain, and motivate key employees; the impact of climate change or environmental, health, and safety regulations; and the impact of tax laws, the judicial or administrative interpretations of tax laws, and/or changes in such laws or interpretations.
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 UNIFI. 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 UNIFI’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 UNIFI with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
