UNIFI®, Makers of REPREVE®, Reports Fourth Quarter Revenue Growth, Higher Margins, and Cash Generation

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

net debt financial

Net debt is the total amount a company owes after subtracting the cash and assets it has that can be used to pay off that debt. It shows how much debt is truly a burden, helping investors understand if a company is financially healthy or heavily borrowed. Think of it like calculating how much money you owe after using your savings to pay part of it.

View in glossary

basis points financial

Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.

non-gaap financial measures financial

Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

Fourth quarter revenue growth, disciplined cost execution, and stronger cash generation highlight continued progress in operational turnaround

GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Unifi, Inc. (NYSE: UFI), the makers of REPREVE^® and one of the world’s leading innovators in recycled and synthetic yarns, today released operating results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended June 28, 2026.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights

• Net sales were $144.2 million, an increase of 4.1% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
• Revenues from REPREVE Fiber products were $40.2 million and represented 28% of net sales.
• Gross profit was $14.3 million and gross margin was 9.9%, compared to gross loss of $1.1 million and gross margin of (0.8)% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
• SG&A expenses were $11.8 million, a decrease of 1.0% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by cost reduction efforts.
• Net loss was $1.2 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to net income of $15.5 million, or $0.82 per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which included a $35.8 million gain on the sale of a manufacturing facility, partially offset by $10.6 million in transition costs.
• Adjusted EBITDA* was $8.2 million, compared to $(4.1) million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
• Cash provided by operating activities was $2.1 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and $26.5 million during fiscal 2026.
• Debt principal was $92.4 million and Net Debt* was $67.4 million at June 28, 2026.
• Following the fourth fiscal quarter, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain non-strategic real estate assets within the Americas Segment for $60.0 million of gross proceeds. Upon closing, the transaction will significantly enhance financial flexibility, support debt reduction, and further strengthen the balance sheet, with no expected impact on customer service or daily operations.

Eddie Ingle, Chief Executive Officer of Unifi, Inc., stated, “We closed fiscal 2026 with clear momentum, highlighted by meaningful improvement in profitability and cash generation. These results reflect disciplined execution of our cost reduction, operational optimization, and portfolio management initiatives, each of which have driven lower our revenue break-even point. As we enter fiscal 2027, UNIFI is operating from a healthier financial position, with a more focused cost structure and a balance sheet that we expect to further strengthen through the planned sale of non-strategic real estate assets.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025

Net sales increased to $144.2 million from $138.5 million, primarily due to higher sales from the Brazil Segment, partially offset by tepid customer ordering patterns in the Americas and Asia Segments stemming from geopolitical, trade, and tariff-related uncertainty.

Gross profit increased to $14.3 million from $(1.1) million. Americas Segment gross profit increased by $8.6 million, primarily as a result of multi-year cost reduction efforts. Brazil Segment gross profit increased by $6.4 million, primarily due to favorable pricing dynamics. Asia Segment gross profit increased by $0.5 million, primarily due to an improved sales mix.

Operating income was $2.4 million, compared to $15.1 million in the prior period, primarily reflecting the absence of the gain from the sale of a manufacturing facility recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which was partially offset by transition costs.

Net loss was $1.2 million compared to net income of $15.5 million, which included a gain in fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA* was $8.2 million, a significant increase versus $(4.1) million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fiscal 2025

• Gross margin improved 420 basis points, from 1.5% to 5.7%.
• SG&A expenses decreased $4.3 million, from $49.0 million to $44.7 million.
• Debt principal declined $15.6 million, from $108.0 million to $92.4 million.
• Cash provided by operating activities increased $47.8 million, from $(21.3) million to $26.5 million.
• Capital expenditures decreased $5.5 million, from $10.5 million to $5.0 million.

Fiscal 2027 and First Quarter Outlook

During fiscal 2027, the Company expects:

• To focus on leveraging its improved cost footprint while investing in innovation.
• Managing the balance sheet to ensure that the Company remains better positioned to capitalize on improved business conditions and grow over time.
• Sales and profitability to improve from fiscal 2026 as the Company realizes full-year benefits from portfolio management actions, cost containment initiatives, and improved operating execution.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company expects year-over-year segment results as follows:

• Brazil Segment sales and profitability to improve as the Company leverages its competitive position and advantageous supply chain dynamics.
• The Asia Segment will remain pressured due to regional softness and geopolitical volatility.
• Cost savings and stable demand will increase profitability in the Americas Segment with continued growth in margin accretive revenues from value-added products and Beyond Apparel initiatives.

Ingle concluded, “As we enter fiscal 2027, we are seeing encouraging signs across several areas of our business, including Beyond Apparel, which continues to contribute to our improving financial performance. We remain focused on positioning the business for long-term growth, driving disciplined capital allocation, and executing additional initiatives designed to further strengthen our businesses. While UNIFI has entered the new fiscal year in a position of greater financial strength, our focus remains on executing our strategy, serving our customers, and building on the momentum that we have established that will help create long-term value for our shareholders.”

* Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt 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.

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”).

• EBITDA represents Net (loss) income before net interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense.
• Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude, from time to time, certain adjustments necessary to understand and compare the underlying results of UNIFI.
• Adjusted Net (Loss) Income represents Net (loss) income calculated under GAAP adjusted to exclude certain amounts. Management believes the excluded amounts do not reflect the ongoing operations and performance of UNIFI and/or exclusion may be necessary to understand and compare the underlying results of UNIFI.
• Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted Net (Loss) Income divided by UNIFI’s weighted average common shares outstanding.
• Net Debt represents debt principal less cash and cash equivalents.

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.
