51 Certain non-GAAP financial measures included herein are 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. These non-GAAP financial measures are Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates, and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA represents net income or loss attributable to Unifi, Inc. before net interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expense, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, loss on previously held equity interest, and certain other adjustments. Such other adjustments include operating expenses for Repreve Renewables, restructuring charges and start-up costs, gains or losses on sales or disposals of property, plant and equipment, currency and derivative gains or losses, and other operating or non-operating income or expense items necessary to understand and compare 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. The Company may, from time to time, change the items included within Adjusted EBITDA. 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. 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 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; and 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. Continued.. NON GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

52 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 included herein. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as indicating that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates, and Adjusted EBITDA are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for net income, operating income or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Each of our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates, and Adjusted EBITDA 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 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 changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; it does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to make payments on our debt; it does not reflect our future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; 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, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates, and Adjusted EBITDA 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. NON GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
