FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that relate to our plans, objectives, estimates and goals. Statements expressing expectations regarding our future, or projections or estimates relating to products, sales, revenues, expenditures, costs or earnings, are typical of such statements and are made under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements 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,” “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 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 business initiatives;

| • | 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;

| • | employee relations;

| • | the impact of environmental, health and safety regulations;

| • | the operating performance of joint ventures and other equity investments;

| • | the accurate financial reporting of information from equity method investees; and

| • | other factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2017 or elsewhere in this report.

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 law.

In light of all the above considerations, we reiterate that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we caution you not to rely on them as such.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Background

Unifi, Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1969 (together with its subsidiaries, “UNIFI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a multi-national company that manufactures and sells innovative synthetic and recycled products made from polyester and nylon primarily to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive, industrial and other end-use markets. Polyester yarns include partially oriented yarn (“POY”), textured, solution and package dyed, twisted, beamed and draw wound yarns, and each is available in virgin or recycled varieties. Recycled solutions, made from both pre-consumer and post-consumer waste, include plastic bottle flake and polyester polymer beads (“Chip”). Nylon products include textured, solution dyed and spandex covered yarns.

UNIFI maintains one of the textile industry’s most comprehensive yarn product offerings that include specialized yarns, premium value-added (“PVA”) yarns and commodity yarns, with principal geographic markets in the Americas and Asia.

UNIFI has manufacturing operations in four countries and participates in joint ventures in Israel and the United States, the most significant of which is a 34% non-controlling partnership interest in Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”), a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the global textile industry and apparel market.

2. Basis of Presentation; Condensed Notes

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. As contemplated by the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to Form 10-Q, the following notes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements. Reference should be made to UNIFI’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”).

The financial information included in this report has been prepared by UNIFI, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and certain financial statement disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

All currency and share amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands (000s), except as otherwise noted.

The fiscal quarter for Unifi, Inc. and its subsidiary in El Salvador ended on December 24, 2017, the second to last Sunday in December. The fiscal quarter for Unifi, Inc.’s Brazilian, Chinese, Colombian and Sri Lankan subsidiaries ended on December 31, 2017. There were no significant transactions or events that occurred between Unifi, Inc.’s fiscal quarter end and such wholly owned subsidiaries’ subsequent fiscal quarter end. The three-month and six-month periods ended December 24, 2017 and December 25, 2016 each consisted of 13 and 26 fiscal weeks, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior years’ data have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Issued and Pending Adoption

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Subsequent ASUs have been issued to provide clarity and defer the effective date of the new guidance. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaces it with a principles-based approach. While UNIFI has not yet determined the effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, UNIFI notes the following considerations: (i) UNIFI is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing and delivering tangible products utilizing relatively straightforward contract terms without multiple performance obligations and (ii) transaction prices for UNIFI’s primary and material revenue activities are determinable and lack significant timing considerations. UNIFI is currently performing the following activities regarding implementation of the new guidance: (a) reviewing material contracts and (b) assessing accounting policy elections and disclosures under the new guidance. In

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

addition, implementation matters remaining include (x) evaluating t he systems and processes to support revenue recognition and (y) selecting the method of adoption. The new revenue recognition guidance is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2019.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new guidance is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. While UNIFI has not yet determined the full effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, as of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had approximately $6,400 of future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) and did not enter into any new material operating lease agreements during the six months ended December 24, 2017. The new lease guidance is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2020, and early adoption is permitted.

In connection with the SEC Staff Announcement on July 20, 2017 relating to the transition to ASU No. 2014-09 and ASU No. 2016-02, due to its status as a significant subsidiary of Unifi, Inc., PAL expects to adopt (i) the new revenue recognition guidance in its fiscal 2019 and (ii) the new lease guidance in its fiscal 2020.

Recently Adopted

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The ASU is intended to improve and simplify the rules around hedge accounting, reduce complexity for certain hedging concepts and better align financial reporting with an entity’s risk management activities. UNIFI early adopted ASU No. 2017-12 in the three months ended December 24, 2017. Early adoption will allow UNIFI to (i) eliminate consideration for hedge ineffectiveness, (ii) utilize a qualitative effectiveness assessment prospectively and (iii) contemplate hedge accounting for additional risk management activities allowed by the simplified guidance. Due to a lack of complexity in UNIFI’s recent risk management activities, there are no applicable cumulative adjustments to UNIFI’s financial statements in connection with adoption of the ASU.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, including the accounting and classification of the respective income tax impacts, forfeitures and statutory withholding requirements. UNIFI adopted the ASU in the three months ended September 24, 2017, on a prospective basis. The adoption resulted in a $148 decrease to the provision for income taxes for excess tax benefits and an immaterial increase in potential dilutive weighted average shares for the six months ended December 24, 2017. In connection with the adoption of the ASU, UNIFI has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur, and there is no corresponding retrospective adjustment to retained earnings. Additionally, UNIFI is presenting the change in classification of excess tax benefits in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows on a prospective basis.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which modifies the subsequent measurement of inventories recorded under a first-in, first-out or average cost method. Under the new standard, such inventories are required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. UNIFI adopted the ASU in the three months ended September 24, 2017, with prospective application. UNIFI’s historical principles for inventory measurement had utilized net realizable value, and, therefore, adoption of the ASU had no material impact on UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

Based on UNIFI’s review of ASUs issued since the filing of the 2017 Form 10-K, there have been no other newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have had, or are expected to have, a significant impact on UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

10. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was as follows:

|  | For the Three Months Ended |  |  | For the Six Months Ended |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |  |  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |
(Benefit) provision for income taxes |  | $ | (4,826 | ) |  | $ | 1,924 |  |  | $ | (1,630 | ) |  | $ | 5,650 |
Effective tax rate |  |  | (69.2 | )% |  |  | 30.6 | % |  |  | (8.5 | )% |  |  | 29.5 | %

H.R. 1, formerly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, was enacted on December 22, 2017. H.R. 1 includes significant changes to existing tax law, including a permanent reduction to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, a one-time mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earning and profits (the “toll charge”), deductions, credits and business-related exclusions.

The permanent reduction to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% was effective January 1, 2018. When a U.S. federal tax rate change occurs during a fiscal year, taxpayers are required to compute a weighted daily average rate for the fiscal year of enactment. As a result of H.R. 1, UNIFI has calculated a U.S. federal corporate income tax rate of 28.25% for its fiscal 2018 tax year.

The effective tax rates for the periods presented above are lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the one-time tax benefit resulting from the revaluation of UNIFI’s domestic deferred tax balances for the lower U.S. statutory tax rate, the release of a valuation allowance on certain historical net operating losses (“NOLs”) and foreign income being taxed at lower rates. These benefits were partially offset by a provisional amount for the toll charge, net of foreign tax credits, and losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can currently be recognized.

UNIFI revalued its measurable deferred tax balances based upon the new tax rate at which the temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to reverse. UNIFI recorded a tax benefit of approximately $4,500 as a result of the net change in deferred tax balances. UNIFI determined that the impact of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate change on the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities is provisional because the number cannot be calculated until the underlying timing differences are known rather than estimated.

Specific to the toll charge, UNIFI has recorded a $1,700 provisional charge, net of foreign tax credits, based on the following estimates: (i) earnings and profits of foreign jurisdictions that will not be complete until the end of fiscal 2018, (ii) the aggregate cash position at June 24, 2018 and (iii) finalization of taxes paid in foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the estimates have been made based on UNIFI’s interpretation of H.R. 1. The U.S. Treasury has indicated in Notice 2018-07 that it expects to issue further guidance to clarify certain technical aspects of H.R. 1, which could impact UNIFI’s computations and provisional amounts recorded.

Within the calculation of the annual effective tax rate, UNIFI has used assumptions and estimates that may change as a result of future guidance, interpretation, and rulemaking from the Internal Revenue Service, the SEC, the FASB and/or various other taxing authorities. For example, UNIFI anticipates that state taxing authorities will continue to determine and announce their conformity to H.R. 1 which could have an impact on UNIFI’s annual effective tax rate.

UNIFI continues to review the anticipated impacts of the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) and base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”), which are not effective until fiscal 2019. UNIFI has not recorded any impact associated with either GILTI or BEAT.

9

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

UNIFI has recorded all known and estimable impacts of H.R. 1 that are effective for fiscal 2018. Future adjustments to the provisional numbers will be recorded as discrete adjustments to income tax expense in the period in which those adjustments becom e estimable and/or are finalized.

UNIFI regularly assesses the outcomes of both completed and ongoing examinations to ensure that UNIFI’s provision for income taxes is sufficient. Certain returns that remain open to examination have utilized carryforward tax attributes generated in prior tax years, including NOLs, which could potentially be revised upon examination.

UNIFI also regularly assesses whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. UNIFI considers the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Since UNIFI operates in multiple jurisdictions, the assessment is made on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, taking into account the effects of local tax law. Due to new facts and circumstances in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, UNIFI has determined it can utilize certain NOLs to offset future taxable income and has reduced the corresponding valuation allowance by $3,807. There was also a reduction to valuation allowances on U.S. deferred tax assets in the current period as a result of the lower U.S. statutory tax rate under H.R. 1.

The components of UNIFI’s deferred tax valuation allowance are as follows:

|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | June 25, 2017 |
Investment in a former domestic unconsolidated affiliate |  | $ | (3,958 | ) |  | $ | (6,269 | )

12. Stock-Based Compensation

The following table provides information as of December 24, 2017 with respect to the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the Unifi, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”):

Authorized under the 2013 Plan |  |  | 1,000 |
Plus: Certain awards expired, forfeited or otherwise terminated unexercised |  |  | 343 |
Less: Awards granted to employees |  |  | (678 | )
Less: Awards granted to non-employee directors |  |  | (133 | )
Available for issuance under the 2013 Plan |  |  | 532 |

During the six months ended December 24, 2017 and December 25, 2016, UNIFI granted stock options to purchase 54 and 128 shares of common stock, respectively.

During the six months ended December 24, 2017 and December 25, 2016, UNIFI granted 90 and 31 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

UNIFI may use derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts or interest rate swaps to reduce its ongoing business exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. UNIFI does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. The following table presents details regarding UNIFI’s hedging activities:

|  | For the Three Months Ended |  |  | For the Six Months Ended |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |  |  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |
Interest expense |  | $ | 1,190 |  |  | $ | 914 |  |  | $ | 2,375 |  |  | $ | 1,606 |
Increase in fair value of interest rate swaps |  |  | (1,077 | ) |  |  | (89 | ) |  |  | (1,492 | ) |  |  | (188 | )
Impact of interest rate swaps on interest expense |  |  | 123 |  |  |  | 65 |  |  |  | 254 |  |  |  | 137 |

For the six months ended December 24, 2017 and December 25, 2016, there were no significant changes to UNIFI’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and there were no transfers into or out of the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

UNIFI believes that there have been no significant changes to its credit risk profile or the interest rates available to UNIFI for debt issuances with similar terms and average maturities, and UNIFI estimates that the fair values of its debt obligations approximate the carrying amounts. Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value due to their short-term nature.

14. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The components of and the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, as applicable, consist of the following:

|  | Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments |  |  | Changes in Interest Rate Swaps |  |  | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss |
Balance at June 25, 2017 |  | $ | (32,372 | ) |  | $ | (508 | ) |  | $ | (32,880 | )
Other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax |  |  | (69 | ) |  |  | 1,492 |  |  |  | 1,423 |
Balance at December 24, 2017 |  | $ | (32,441 | ) |  | $ | 984 |  |  | $ | (31,457 | )

A summary of the after-tax effects of the components of other comprehensive (loss) income, net for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 24, 2017 and December 25, 2016 is included in the accompanying condensed c onsolidated statements of comprehensive income.

15. Earnings Per Share

The components of the calculation of earnings per share (“EPS”) are as follows:

|  | For the Three Months Ended |  |  | For the Six Months Ended |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |  |  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |
Net income attributable to Unifi, Inc. |  | $ | 11,802 |  |  | $ | 4,591 |  |  | $ | 20,762 |  |  | $ | 13,994 |
Basic weighted average shares |  |  | 18,273 |  |  |  | 18,128 |  |  |  | 18,260 |  |  |  | 18,045 |
Net potential common share equivalents – stock options and RSUs |  |  | 378 |  |  |  | 314 |  |  |  | 338 |  |  |  | 346 |
Diluted weighted average shares |  |  | 18,651 |  |  |  | 18,442 |  |  |  | 18,598 |  |  |  | 18,391 |
Excluded from diluted weighted average shares: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Anti-dilutive common share equivalents |  |  | 60 |  |  |  | 185 |  |  |  | 290 |  |  |  | 271 |

The calculation of EPS is based on the weighted average number of Unifi, Inc.’s common shares outstanding for the applicable period. The calculation of diluted EPS presents the effect of all potential dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the respective period, unless the effect of doing so is anti-dilutive.

16. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Variable Interest Entities

UNIFI currently maintains investments in three entities classified as unconsolidated affiliates: PAL; U.N.F. Industries, Ltd. (“UNF”); and UNF America LLC (“UNFA”). As of December 24, 2017, UNIFI’s investment in PAL was $110,321 and UNIFI’s combined investments in UNF and UNFA were $3,302, each of which is reflected within investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Parkdale America, LLC

PAL is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes. UNIFI accounts for its investment in PAL using the equity method of accounting. PAL is subject to price risk related to anticipated fixed-price yarn sales. To protect the gross margin of these sales, PAL may enter into cotton futures to manage changes in raw material prices. The derivative instruments used are listed and traded on an exchange and are valued using quoted prices classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. As of December 2017, PAL had no futures contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

The reconciliation between UNIFI’s share of the underlying equity of PAL and its investment is as follows:

Underlying equity as of December 24, 2017 |  | $ | 128,412 |
Initial excess capital contributions |  |  | 53,363 |
Impairment charge recorded by UNIFI in fiscal 2007 |  |  | (74,106 | )
Anti-trust lawsuit against PAL in which UNIFI did not participate |  |  | 2,652 |
Investment as of December 24, 2017 |  | $ | 110,321 |

U.N.F. Industries, Ltd.

Raw material and production services for UNF are provided by Nilit Ltd. under separate supply and services agreements. UNF’s fiscal year end is December 31, and it is a registered Israeli private company located in Migdal Ha-Emek, Israel.

UNF America LLC

Raw material and production services for UNFA are provided by Nilit America Inc. under separate supply and services agreements. UNFA’s fiscal year end is December 31, and it is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes located in Ridgeway, Virginia.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

In conjunction with the formation of UNFA, UNIFI entered into a supply agreement with UNF and UNFA whereby UNIFI agreed to purchase all of its first quality nylon POY requireme nts for texturing (subject to certain exceptions) from either UNF or UNFA. The agreement has no stated minimum purchase quantities and pricing is negotiated every six months, based on market rates. As of December 24, 2017, UNIFI’s open purchase orders re lated to this agreement were $3,158.

UNIFI’s raw material purchases under this supply agreement consist of the following:

|  | For the Six Months Ended |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |
UNF |  | $ | 1,141 |  |  | $ | 1,250 |
UNFA |  |  | 10,406 |  |  |  | 9,579 |
Total |  | $ | 11,547 |  |  | $ | 10,829 |

As of December 24, 2017 and June 25, 2017, UNIFI had combined accounts payable due to UNF and UNFA of $1,483 and $2,301, respectively.

UNIFI has determined that UNF and UNFA are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and UNIFI is the primary beneficiary of these entities, based on the terms of the supply agreement discussed above. As a result, these entities should be consolidated with UNIFI’s financial results. As UNIFI purchases substantially all of the output from the two entities, the two entities’ balance sheets constitute 3% or less of UNIFI’s current assets, total assets and total liabilities and because such balances are not expected to comprise a larger portion in the future, UNIFI has not included the accounts of UNF and UNFA in its consolidated financial statements. The financial results of UNF and UNFA are included in UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements with a one-month lag, using the equity method of accounting and with intercompany profits eliminated in accordance with UNIFI’s accounting policy. Other than the supply agreement discussed above, UNIFI does not provide any other commitments or guarantees related to either UNF or UNFA.

Condensed balance sheet and income statement information for UNIFI’s unconsolidated affiliates (including reciprocal balances) is presented in the tables below. PAL is defined as significant and its information is separately disclosed. PAL does not meet the criteria for segment reporting.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Collective Bargaining Agreements

While employees of UNIFI’s Brazilian operations are unionized, none of the labor force employed by UNIFI’s domestic or other foreign subsidiaries is currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Environmental

On September 30, 2004, UNIFI completed its acquisition of polyester filament manufacturing assets located in Kinston, North Carolina from Invista S.a.r.l. (“INVISTA”). The land for the Kinston site was leased pursuant to a 99-year ground lease (the “Ground Lease”) with E.I. DuPont de Nemours (“DuPont”). Since 1993, DuPont has been investigating and cleaning up the Kinston site under the supervision of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action program. The program requires DuPont to identify all potential areas of environmental concern (“AOCs”), assess the extent of containment at the identified AOCs and remediate the AOCs to comply with applicable regulatory standards. Effective March 20, 2008, UNIFI entered into a lease termination agreement associated with conveyance of certain assets at the Kinston site to DuPont. This agreement terminated the Ground Lease and relieved UNIFI of any future responsibility for environmental remediation, other than participation with DuPont, if so called upon, with regard to UNIFI’s period of operation of the Kinston site, which was from 2004 to 2008. At this time, UNIFI has no basis to determine if or when it will have any responsibility or obligation with respect to the AOCs or the extent of any potential liability for the same.

UNIFI continues to own property acquired in the 2004 transaction with INVISTA that has contamination from DuPont’s operations and is monitored by DEQ. This site has been remediated by DuPont, and DuPont has received authority from DEQ to discontinue further remediation, other than natural attenuation. Prior to transfer of responsibility to UNIFI, DuPont has a duty to monitor and report the environmental status of the site to DEQ. UNIFI expects to assume that responsibility in fiscal 2018 and will be entitled to receive from DuPont seven years of monitoring and reporting costs, less certain adjustments. At that time, UNIFI will assume responsibility for any future remediation of the site. At this time, UNIFI has no basis to determine if or when it will have any obligation to perform further remediation or the potential cost thereof.

Leases

UNIFI routinely leases sales and administrative office space, warehousing and distribution centers, manufacturing space, transportation equipment, manufacturing equipment, and other information technology and office equipment from third parties.

UNIFI has assumed various financial obligations and commitments in the normal course of its operating and financing activities. Financial obligations are considered to represent known future cash payments that UNIFI is required to make under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements.

19. Business Segment Information

UNIFI defines operating segments as components of the organization for which discrete financial information is available and operating results are evaluated on a regular basis by UNIFI’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Characteristics of the organization which were relied upon in making the determination of reportable segments include the nature of the products sold, the organization’s internal structure, the trade policies in the geographic regions in which UNIFI operates and the information that is regularly reviewed by the CODM for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources.

UNIFI’s operating segments are aggregated into three reportable segments based on similarities between the operating segments’ economic characteristics, nature of products sold, type of customer, methods of distribution and regulatory environment.

| • | The operations within the Polyester Segment exhibit similar long-term economic characteristics and sell into an economic trading zone covered by the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) and the Dominican Republic—Central America Free Trade Agreement (“CAFTA-DR”) to similar customers utilizing similar methods of distribution. These operations derive revenues from polyester-based products with sales primarily to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce yarn and/or fabric for the apparel, hosiery, automotive, home furnishings, industrial and other end-use markets. The Polyester Segment consists of sales and manufacturing operations in the United States and El Salvador.

| • | The operations within the Nylon Segment exhibit similar long-term economic characteristics and sell into an economic trading zone covered by NAFTA and CAFTA-DR to similar customers utilizing similar methods of distribution. The Nylon Segment includes an immaterial operating segment in Colombia that sells similar nylon-based textile products to similar customers in Colombia and Mexico utilizing similar methods of distribution. These operations derive revenues from nylon-based products with sales to knitters and weavers that produce fabric primarily for the apparel and hosiery markets. The Nylon Segment consists of sales and manufacturing operations in the United States and Colombia.

| • | The operations within the International Segment exhibit similar long-term economic characteristics and sell to similar customers utilizing similar methods of distribution in geographic regions that are outside of the economic trading zone covered by NAFTA and CAFTA-DR. The International Segment primarily sells polyester-based products to knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, automotive, home furnishings, industrial and other end-use markets primarily in the South American and Asian regions. The International Segment includes a manufacturing location in Brazil and sales offices in Brazil, China and Sri Lanka.

In addition to UNIFI’s reportable segments, the selected financial information presented below includes an All Other category. All Other consists primarily of for-hire transportation services and Repreve Renewables, LLC (“Renewables”) (up through December 23, 2016, the date of the sale by UNIFI of its 60% equity ownership interest in Renewables). For-hire transportation services revenue is derived from performing common carrier services utilizing UNIFI’s fleet of transportation equipment. Revenue for Renewables was primarily derived from (i) facilitating the use of miscanthus grass as bio-fuel through service agreements and (ii) delivering harvested miscanthus grass to poultry producers for animal bedding.

16

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The operations within All Other (i) are not subject to review by the CODM at a level consistent with UNIFI’s other operations, (ii) are not regularly evaluated using the same metrics applied to UNIFI’s other operations and (iii) do not qualify for aggregation with an existing reportable segment. Therefore, such operations are excluded from reportable segments.

UNIFI evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon Segment Profit (Loss), which represents segment gross profit (loss) plus segment depreciation expense. This measurement of segment profit or loss best aligns segment reporting with the current assessments and evaluations performed by, and information provided to, the CODM.

The accounting policies for the segments are consistent with UNIFI’s accounting policies. Intersegment sales are omitted from the below financial information, as they are (i) insignificant to UNIFI’s segments and eliminated from consolidated reporting and (ii) excluded from segment evaluations performed by the CODM.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected UNIFI’s operations, along with material changes in financial condition, during the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. A reference to a “note” in this section refers to the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. A reference to the “current period” refers to the three-month period ended December 24, 2017, while a reference to the “prior period” refers to the three-month period ended December 25, 2016. A reference to the “current six-month period” refers to the six-month period ended December 24, 2017, while a reference to the “prior six-month period” refers to the six-month period ended December 25, 2016. Such references may be accompanied by certain phrases for added clarity.

Our discussions in this Item 2 are based upon the more detailed discussions about our business, operations and financial condition included in the 2017 Form 10-K. These discussions focus on our results during, or as of, the three months and six months ended December 24, 2017 and December 25, 2016, and, to the extent applicable, any material changes from the information discussed in the 2017 Form 10-K or other important intervening developments or information. These discussions should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Form 10-K for more detailed and background information.

Overview and Significant General Matters

UNIFI remains focused on delivering PVA products and solutions to customers and brand partners throughout the world, leveraging an enhanced supply chain that delivers a diverse range of synthetic and recycled fibers and polymers. This strategic and synergistic focus includes a number of supporting pillars, such as investing in commercial expansion; growing our existing portfolio of technologies and capabilities; engaging in strategic partnerships; and investing in UNIFI’s people and teams. UNIFI remains committed to these strategic initiatives, which it believes will increase profitability and generate improved cash flows from operations.

UNIFI has three reportable segments for its operations – the Polyester Segment, the Nylon Segment and the International Segment – as well as certain ancillary operations, which comprise an All Other category. The ancillary operations classified within All Other are insignificant for all periods presented; therefore, UNIFI’s discussion and analysis of those activities is generally limited to their impact on consolidated results, where appropriate.

Significant highlights for the current period and the current six-month period include the following, each of which is outlined in more detail below:

| • | Net sales for the current period increased $12,323, or 7.9%, to $167,478, compared to $155,155 for the prior period, and increased $11,433, or 7.4%, when excluding the impact of foreign currency translation;

| • | Net sales for the current six-month period increased $16,596, or 5.3%, to $331,720, compared to $315,124 for the prior six-month period, and increased $14,985, or 4.8%, when excluding the impact of foreign currency translation;

| • | Revenues from PVA products for the current period grew more than 20% compared to the prior period, and represented more than 45% of consolidated net sales;

| • | Gross margin was 13.5% for the current period, compared to 14.3% for the prior period, and was 13.9% for the current six-month period, compared to 14.5% for the prior six-month period;

| • | Operating income was $7,774 for the current period, compared to $9,038 for the prior period, and was $17,947 for the current six-month period, compared to $21,612 for the prior six-month period; and

| • | Diluted EPS was $0.63 for the current period, compared to $0.25 for the prior period, and was $1.12 for the current six-month period, compared to $0.76 for the prior six-month period.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

UNIFI continuously reviews performance indicators to measure its success. These performance indicators form the basis of management’s discussion and analysis included below:

| • | sales volume and revenue for UNIFI and for each reportable segment;

| • | gross profit and gross margin for UNIFI and for each reportable segment;

| • | Net income attributable to Unifi, Inc. (“Net Income”) and diluted EPS;

20

| • | Segment Profit (Loss), which represents segment gross profit (loss) plus segment depreciation expense;

| • | unit conversion margin, which represents unit net sales price less unit raw material costs, for UNIFI and for each reportable segment;

| • | working capital, which represents current assets less current liabilities;

| • | Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), which represents Net Income before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense;

| • | Adjusted EBITDA, which represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude equity in loss (earnings) of PAL, and, from time to time, certain other adjustments necessary to understand and compare the underlying results of UNIFI;

| • | Adjusted Net Income, which represents Net Income 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 UNIFI. Adjusted Net Income excludes certain amounts which management believes do not reflect the ongoing operations and performance of UNIFI;

| • | Adjusted EPS, which represents Adjusted Net Income divided by UNIFI’s diluted weighted average common shares outstanding; and

| • | Adjusted Working Capital, which represents receivables plus inventory, less accounts payable and accrued expenses.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Working Capital (collectively, 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. When applicable, management’s discussion and analysis includes specific consideration for items that comprise the reconciliations of its 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.

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 and is relevant to our fixed charge coverage ratio. Equity in loss (earnings) of PAL is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because such results 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 such entity were required to be included in UNIFI’s financial amounts reported under GAAP.

Management uses Adjusted Working Capital as an indicator of UNIFI’s production efficiency and ability to manage inventory and receivables.

Consolidated Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the current period increased by $12,323, or 7.9%, as compared to the prior period.

Consolidated sales volumes increased 14.5%, attributable to continued growth in sales of recycled polyester Chip and plastic bottle flake in the Polyester Segment and sales of staple fiber and other PVA products in the International Segment. Sales continue to expand in the International Segment as our PVA portfolio resonates with numerous customers. The increase in sales volumes in our Polyester and International Segments was partially offset by soft yarn sales in the Nylon Segment. We believe the softness in the domestic environment continues to be a challenge for the textile supply chain, while our nylon business results also reflect the current global trend of declines in demand for nylon socks, ladies’ hosiery and intimate apparel.

Consolidated average sales prices decreased 6.3%, attributable to disproportionate growth of lower-priced recycled polyester Chip, plastic bottle flake and staple fiber among the Polyester and International Segments, as well as a lower proportion of nylon products that carry higher selling prices. The decrease in consolidated average sales prices was partially offset by a net favorable foreign currency translation compared to the prior period of approximately $900, primarily associated with the strengthening of the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and the Brazilian Real (“BRL”). PVA products comprised more than 45% of net sales for the current period, while representing approximately 40% of net sales for fiscal 2017.

23

Consolidated Gross Profit

Gross profit for the current period increased by $546, or 2.5%, as compared to the prior period. For the International Segment, the current period gross margin rate was impacted by disproportionate growth in lower-margin sales mix and pressure brought by higher costs compared to the prior period. For the Polyester Segment, the decline in gross margin rate was primarily due to a rise in raw material costs, a greater mix of lower margin product sales and incremental depreciation, primarily due to expanded recycling operations, partially offset by the conversion services performed for Eastman Chemical Company (“Eastman”) on bi-component machinery, a revenue stream that did not exist in the prior period. The Nylon Segment achieved an increase in gross margin rate due in part to a more favorable sales mix and cost management. Consolidated gross profit for the current period also included approximately $200 of favorable foreign currency translation reflected in the International Segment.

Further details regarding the changes in net sales and gross profit, by reportable segment, follow.

Polyester Segment

The components of Segment Profit, each component as a percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior period amounts for the Polyester Segment are as follows:

|  | For the Three Months Ended |  |  |  |  |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |  | % of Net Sales |  |  |  |  |  |  | % of Net Sales |  |  | % Change |
Net sales |  | $ | 90,316 |  |  |  | 100.0 |  |  | $ | 86,671 |  |  |  | 100.0 |  |  |  | 4.2 |
Cost of sales |  |  | 81,740 |  |  |  | 90.5 |  |  |  | 76,200 |  |  |  | 87.9 |  |  |  | 7.3 |
Gross profit |  |  | 8,576 |  |  |  | 9.5 |  |  |  | 10,471 |  |  |  | 12.1 |  |  |  | (18.1 | )
Depreciation expense |  |  | 3,973 |  |  |  | 4.4 |  |  |  | 3,384 |  |  |  | 3.9 |  |  |  | 17.4 |
Segment Profit |  | $ | 12,549 |  |  |  | 13.9 |  |  | $ | 13,855 |  |  |  | 16.0 |  |  |  | (9.4 | )

The change in net sales for the Polyester Segment is as follows:

Net sales for the prior period |  | $ | 86,671 |
Increase in sales volumes |  |  | 6,192 |
Net change in average selling price and sales mix |  |  | (2,547 | )
Net sales for the current period |  | $ | 90,316 |

The increase in net sales for the Polyester Segment was primarily attributable to (i) higher sales of plastic bottle flake, recycled polyester Chip and POY and (ii) the conversion services performed for Eastman on bi-component machinery. The unfavorable change in sales price and mix was due to (a) lower sales volumes of higher-priced textured and dyed yarns and (b) higher sales volumes of lower-priced plastic bottle flake, recycled polyester Chip and POY.

The change in Segment Profit for the Polyester Segment is as follows:

Segment Profit for the prior period |  | $ | 13,855 |
Net decrease in underlying margins |  |  | (2,296 | )
Increase in sales volumes |  |  | 990 |
Segment Profit for the current period |  | $ | 12,549 |

The decrease in Segment Profit for the Polyester Segment was primarily attributable to the unfavorable sales mix shift towards lower-margin products discussed above in the net sales analysis, along with raw material cost pressures, partially offset by the benefit of the conversion services performed for Eastman on bi-component machinery and an increase in sales volumes.

Polyester Segment net sales and Segment Profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 53.9% and 45.4%, respectively, for the current period, compared to 55.9% and 52.3%, respectively, for the prior period.

24

Nylon Segment

The components of Segment Profit, each component as a percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior period amounts for the Nylon Segment are as follows:

|  | For the Three Months Ended |  |  |  |  |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |  | % of Net Sales |  |  |  |  |  |  | % of Net Sales |  |  | % Change |
Net sales |  | $ | 25,103 |  |  |  | 100.0 |  |  | $ | 28,302 |  |  |  | 100.0 |  |  |  | (11.3 | )
Cost of sales |  |  | 22,027 |  |  |  | 87.7 |  |  |  | 25,679 |  |  |  | 90.7 |  |  |  | (14.2 | )
Gross profit |  |  | 3,076 |  |  |  | 12.3 |  |  |  | 2,623 |  |  |  | 9.3 |  |  |  | 17.3 |
Depreciation expense |  |  | 552 |  |  |  | 2.2 |  |  |  | 530 |  |  |  | 1.8 |  |  |  | 4.2 |
Segment Profit |  | $ | 3,628 |  |  |  | 14.5 |  |  | $ | 3,153 |  |  |  | 11.1 |  |  |  | 15.1 |

The change in net sales for the Nylon Segment is as follows:

Net sales for the prior period |  | $ | 28,302 |
Decrease in sales volumes |  |  | (1,993 | )
Net change in average selling price and sales mix |  |  | (1,206 | )
Net sales for the current period |  | $ | 25,103 |

The decrease in net sales for the Nylon Segment was primarily attributable to (i) lower sales volumes as a result of soft domestic market conditions in which nylon socks, ladies’ hosiery and intimates have experienced demand declines and (ii) a lower-priced sales mix.

The change in Segment Profit for the Nylon Segment is as follows:

Segment Profit for the prior period |  | $ | 3,153 |
Net improvement in underlying margins |  |  | 697 |
Decrease in sales volumes |  |  | (222 | )
Segment Profit for the current period |  | $ | 3,628 |

The increase in Segment Profit for the Nylon Segment was attributable to a more profitable sales mix and cost management.

Nylon Segment net sales and Segment Profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 15.0% and 13.1%, respectively, for the current period, compared to 18.2% and 11.9%, respectively, for the prior period.

International Segment

The components of Segment Profit, each component as a percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior period amounts for the International Segment are as follows:

|  | For the Three Months Ended |  |  |  |  |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |  | % of Net Sales |  |  |  |  |  |  | % of Net Sales |  |  | % Change |
Net sales |  | $ | 51,046 |  |  |  | 100.0 |  |  | $ | 38,868 |  |  |  | 100.0 |  |  |  | 31.3 |
Cost of sales |  |  | 40,072 |  |  |  | 78.5 |  |  |  | 29,419 |  |  |  | 75.7 |  |  |  | 36.2 |
Gross profit |  |  | 10,974 |  |  |  | 21.5 |  |  |  | 9,449 |  |  |  | 24.3 |  |  |  | 16.1 |
Depreciation expense |  |  | 397 |  |  |  | 0.8 |  |  |  | 228 |  |  |  | 0.6 |  |  |  | 74.1 |
Segment Profit |  | $ | 11,371 |  |  |  | 22.3 |  |  | $ | 9,677 |  |  |  | 24.9 |  |  |  | 17.5 |

25

The change in net sales for the International Segment is as follows:

Net sales for the prior period |  | $ | 38,868 |
Increase in sales volumes |  |  | 11,985 |
Favorable foreign currency translation effects (RMB and BRL) |  |  | 882 |
Net change in average selling price and sales mix |  |  | (689 | )
Net sales for the current period |  | $ | 51,046 |

The increase in net sales for the International Segment was attributable to (i) higher sales volumes from our Asian subsidiaries, primarily relating to our recycled polyester Chip and staple fiber products, with strong demand for REPREVE®, (ii) higher sales volumes at our Brazilian subsidiary due to increased demand for synthetic yarns, including air-covered PVA products for use in applications such as stretch denim, and (iii) favorable foreign currency translation due to the strengthening of the RMB and the BRL. These benefits were partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price in Asia due to a greater mix of lower-priced product sales.

The RMB weighted average exchange rate was 6.61 RMB/U.S. Dollar (“USD”) and 6.84 RMB/USD for the current period and the prior period, respectively. The BRL weighted average exchange rate was 3.24 BRL/USD and 3.29 BRL/USD for the current period and the prior period, respectively.

The change in Segment Profit for the International Segment is as follows:

Segment Profit for the prior period |  | $ | 9,677 |
Increase in sales volumes |  |  | 2,985 |
Favorable foreign currency translation effects (RMB and BRL) |  |  | 221 |
Decrease in underlying margins |  |  | (1,512 | )
Segment Profit for the current period |  | $ | 11,371 |

The increase in Segment Profit for the International Segment was attributable to (i) improved sales volumes and (ii) favorable foreign currency translation effects due to the strengthening of the RMB and the BRL versus the USD, partially offset by a greater mix of lower-priced product sales in Asia.

International Segment net sales and Segment Profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 30.5% and 41.1%, respectively, for the current period, compared to 25.1% and 36.5%, respectively, for the prior period.

Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The change in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses is as follows:

SG&A expenses for the prior period |  | $ | 12,868 |
Increase in compensation expenses |  |  | 1,895 |
Increase in supplemental retirement plan expenses |  |  | 141 |
Other net decreases |  |  | (278 | )
SG&A expenses for the current period |  | $ | 14,626 |

Total SG&A expenses were higher for the current period compared to the prior period, primarily as a result of (i) an increase in compensation expenses due to recent talent acquisition and higher incentive compensation expenses and (ii) an increase in supplemental retirement plan expenses due to comparatively higher performance of the stock market index benchmark, partially offset by other net decreases that include fees paid to external service providers and other administrative expenses.

Consolidated Benefit for Bad Debts

Consolidated Othe r Operating Expense, Net

The change in other operating expense, net is primarily attributable to foreign currency losses in the current period, mostly resulting from changes in the value of USDs held by our subsidiary in China, while the prior period includes executive relocation expenses.

Consolidated Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net increased from the prior period, as reflected below, primarily due to (i) a higher weighted average interest rate resulting from fixing the variable portion of the interest rate on $75,000 of debt principal, beginning in May 2017, (ii) less interest capitalized to project costs and (iii) a prior period favorable mark-to-market adjustment on the historical interest rate swap that terminated in May 2017.

Loss on Sale of Business

On December 23, 2016, UNIFI, through a wholly owned foreign subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell its historical 60% equity ownership interest in Renewables to the existing third-party joint venture partner for $500 in cash and release of certain debt obligations. In connection with the transaction, UNIFI recognized a loss on sale of business of $1,662.

Consolidated (Earnings) Loss from Unconsolidated Affiliates

The components of (earnings) loss from unconsolidated affiliates are as follows:

|  | For the Three Months Ended |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |
Loss from PAL |  | $ | 376 |  |  | $ | 745 |
Earnings from nylon joint ventures |  |  | (587 | ) |  |  | (378 | )
Total equity in (earnings) loss of unconsolidated affiliates |  | $ | (211 | ) |  | $ | 367 |
As a percentage of consolidated income before income taxes |  |  | 3.0 | % |  |  | (5.8 | )%

UNIFI’s 34% share of PAL’s loss decreased in the current period versus the prior period, which was primarily attributable to lower depreciation expense. The earnings from the nylon joint ventures experienced an increase primarily due to higher volumes and improved margins for the current period despite overall softness in the nylon market.

Consolidated Income Taxes

The change in consolidated income taxes is as follows:

|  | For the Three Months Ended |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |
(Benefit) provision for income taxes |  | $ | (4,826 | ) |  | $ | 1,924 |
Effective tax rate |  |  | (69.2 | )% |  |  | 30.6 | %

The effective tax rate for the current period is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the $4,500 tax benefit resulting from the revaluation of UNIFI’s domestic deferred tax balances for the lower U.S. statutory tax rate, the release of a $3,807 valuation allowance and foreign income being taxed at lower rates. These benefits were partially offset by a $1,700 provisional charge for the deemed mandatory repatriation of foreign earnings and profits, net of foreign tax credits, and by losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can currently be recognized.

27

The effective tax rate for the prior period is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign income being taxed at lower rates and a decrease in the valuation allowance for UNIFI’s investment in PAL. These benefits were partially offset by losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can currently be recognized and state and local income taxes net of federal benefits.

Consolidated Net Income

Net Income for the current period was $11,802, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $4,591, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the prior period. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) a significantly lower effective tax rate and (ii) a prior period loss on sale of business, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the current period was $13,893, compared to $14,468 for the prior period. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher operating expenses, as described in the discussions above.

Consolidated Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the current six-month period increased by $16,596, or 5.3%, as compared to the prior six-month period.

Consolidated sales volumes increased 11.0%, attributable to continued growth in sales of recycled polyester Chip and plastic bottle flake in the Polyester Segment and staple fiber and other PVA products in the International Segment. Sales continue to expand in the International Segment as our PVA portfolio resonates with numerous customers. The increase in sales volumes was partially offset by soft yarn sales in the Polyester and Nylon Segments. We believe the softness in the domestic environment continues to be a challenge for the textile supply chain. Our nylon business results also reflect the current global trend of declines in demand for nylon socks, ladies’ hosiery and intimate apparel.

Consolidated average sales prices decreased 5.5%, attributable to disproportionate growth of lower-priced recycled polyester Chip, plastic bottle flake and staple fiber among the Polyester and International Segments, as well as a lower proportion of nylon products

28

that carry higher selling prices. The decrease in consolidated sales pricing was partially offset by a benefit from net favorable foreign currency translation compared to the prior period of approximately $1,600, primarily associated with the strengt hening of the BRL and the RMB.

Consolidated Gross Profit

Gross profit for the current six-month period increased by $291, or 0.6%, as compared to the prior six-month period. The Nylon Segment achieved an increase in gross margin rate due in part to a more favorable sales mix and cost management. For the International Segment, gross profit increased due to sales growth; however, margins were lower due to a less favorable sales mix and pressure from higher costs. For the Polyester Segment, the decline in gross margin rate was primarily due to a greater mix of lower margin product sales and incremental depreciation, primarily due to expanded recycling operations, partially offset by the conversion services performed for Eastman on bi-component machinery, a revenue stream that did not exist in the prior six-month period. Consolidated gross profit for the current six-month period also included approximately $400 of favorable foreign currency translation.

Further details regarding the changes in net sales and gross profit, by reportable segment, follow.

Polyester Segment

The components of Segment Profit, each component as a percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior six-month period amounts for the Polyester Segment are as follows:

|  | For the Six Months Ended |  |  |  |  |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |  | % of Net Sales |  |  |  |  |  |  | % of Net Sales |  |  | % Change |
Net sales |  | $ | 178,054 |  |  |  | 100.0 |  |  | $ | 171,356 |  |  |  | 100.0 |  |  |  | 3.9 |
Cost of sales |  |  | 160,565 |  |  |  | 90.2 |  |  |  | 152,435 |  |  |  | 89.0 |  |  |  | 5.3 |
Gross profit |  |  | 17,489 |  |  |  | 9.8 |  |  |  | 18,921 |  |  |  | 11.0 |  |  |  | (7.6 | )
Depreciation expense |  |  | 7,840 |  |  |  | 4.4 |  |  |  | 6,492 |  |  |  | 3.8 |  |  |  | 20.8 |
Segment Profit |  | $ | 25,329 |  |  |  | 14.2 |  |  | $ | 25,413 |  |  |  | 14.8 |  |  |  | (0.3 | )

The change in net sales for the Polyester Segment is as follows:

Net sales for the prior six-month period |  | $ | 171,356 |
Increase in sales volumes |  |  | 12,200 |
Decrease in average selling price and change in sales mix |  |  | (5,502 | )
Net sales for the current six-month period |  | $ | 178,054 |

The increase in net sales for the Polyester Segment was primarily attributable to (i) higher sales of plastic bottle flake, recycled polyester Chip and POY and (ii) the conversion services performed for Eastman on bi-component machinery. The unfavorable change in sales mix was due to (a) lower sales volumes of higher-priced textured, dyed and beamed yarns and (b) higher sales volumes of lower-priced plastic bottle flake, recycled polyester Chip and POY.

The change in Segment Profit for the Polyester Segment is as follows:

Segment Profit for the prior six-month period |  | $ | 25,413 |
Net decrease in underlying margins |  |  | (1,893 | )
Increase in sales volumes |  |  | 1,809 |
Segment Profit for the current six-month period |  | $ | 25,329 |

The decrease in Segment Profit for the Polyester Segment was primarily attributable to the unfavorable sales mix shift towards lower-margin products discussed above in the net sales analysis, along with raw material cost pressures, partially offset by the benefit of the conversion services performed for Eastman on bi-component machinery and an increase in sales volumes.

Polyester Segment net sales and Segment Profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 53.7% and 45.4%, respectively, for the current six-month period, compared to 54.4% and 46.9%, respectively, for the prior six-month period.

Segment Profit |  | $ | 7,479 |  |  |  | 14.4 |  |  | $ | 6,800 |  |  |  | 12.0 |  |  |  | 10.0 |

The change in net sales for the Nylon Segment is as follows:

Net sales for the prior six-month period |  | $ | 56,797 |
Decrease in sales volumes |  |  | (3,284 | )
Decrease in average selling price and change in sales mix |  |  | (1,583 | )
Net sales for the current six-month period |  | $ | 51,930 |

The decrease in net sales for the Nylon Segment was primarily attributable to (i) lower sales volumes as a result of soft domestic market conditions in which nylon socks, ladies’ hosiery and intimates have experienced demand declines and (ii) a lower-priced sales mix.

The change in Segment Profit for the Nylon Segment is as follows:

Segment Profit for the prior six-month period |  | $ | 6,800 |
Increase in underlying margins |  |  | 1,072 |
Decrease in sales volumes |  |  | (393 | )
Segment Profit for the current six-month period |  | $ | 7,479 |

The increase in Segment Profit for the Nylon Segment was attributable to a more profitable sales mix and cost management.

Nylon Segment net sales and Segment Profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 15.7% and 13.4%, respectively, for the current six-month period, compared to 18.0% and 12.6%, respectively, for the prior six-month period.

International Segment

The components of Segment Profit, each component as a percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior six-month period amounts for the International Segment are as follows:

|  | For the Six Months Ended |  |  |  |  |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |  | % of Net Sales |  |  |  |  |  |  | % of Net Sales |  |  | % Change |

30

The change in net sales for the International Segment is as follows:

Net sales for the prior six-month period |  | $ | 84,212 |
Increase in sales volumes |  |  | 16,807 |
Net favorable foreign currency translation effects (BRL and RMB) |  |  | 1,611 |
Decrease in average selling price and change in sales mix |  |  | (2,925 | )
Net sales for the current six-month period |  | $ | 99,705 |

The increase in net sales for the International Segment was attributable to (i) higher sales volumes from our Asian subsidiaries due to growth in our REPREVE® portfolios, particularly staple fiber and recycled polyester Chip, (ii) higher sales volumes at our Brazilian subsidiary due to increased demand for synthetic yarns, including air-covered PVA products for use in applications such as stretch denim, and (iii) favorable foreign currency translation due to the strengthening of the BRL and the RMB. These benefits were partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price in Asia due to a greater mix of lower-priced product sales.

The BRL weighted average exchange rate was 3.20 BRL/USD and 3.27 BRL/USD for the current six-month period and the prior six-month period, respectively. The RMB weighted average exchange rate was 6.64 RMB/USD and 6.75 RMB/USD for the current six-month period and the prior six-month period, respectively.

The change in Segment Profit for the International Segment is as follows:

Segment Profit for the prior six-month period |  | $ | 22,193 |
Increase in sales volumes |  |  | 4,432 |
Net favorable foreign currency translation effects (BRL and RMB) |  |  | 427 |
Decrease in underlying margins |  |  | (4,267 | )
Segment Profit for the current six-month period |  | $ | 22,785 |

The increase in Segment Profit for the International Segment was attributable to (i) improved sales volumes and (ii) favorable foreign currency translation effects due to the strengthening of both the BRL and the RMB versus the USD, partially offset by a greater mix of lower-margin product sales in Asia.

International Segment net sales and Segment Profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 30.1% and 40.8%, respectively, for the current six-month period, compared to 26.7% and 41.0%, respectively, for the prior six-month period.

Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The change in SG&A expenses is as follows:

SG&A expenses for the prior six-month period | $ | 24,278 |
Increase in compensation expenses |  | 3,115 |
Other net increases |  | 96 |
SG&A expenses for the current six-month period | $ | 27,489 |

Total SG&A expenses were higher for the current six-month period compared to the prior six-month period, primarily as a result of an increase in compensation expenses due to recent talent acquisition and other net increases.

Consolidated Benefit for Bad Debts

The benefit in the prior six-month period reflects a decrease in the reserve against specifically identified customer balances in the Polyester and International Segments.

Consolidated Other Operating Expense, Net

The change in other operating expense, net is primarily attributable to foreign currency losses in the current six-month period, mostly resulting from changes in the value of USDs held by our subsidiary in China.

31

Consolidated Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net increased from the prior six-month period, as reflected below, primarily due to (i) a higher weighted average interest rate resulting from fixing the variable portion of the interest rate on $75,000 of debt principal, beginning in May 2017, (ii) less interest capitalized to project costs and (iii) a prior period favorable mark-to-market adjustment on the historical interest rate swap that terminated in May 2017.

On December 23, 2016, UNIFI, through a wholly owned foreign subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell its historical 60% equity ownership interest in Renewables to the existing third-party joint venture partner for $500 in cash and release of certain debt obligations. In connection with the transaction, UNIFI recognized a loss on sale of business of $1,662.

Consolidated Earnings from Unconsolidated Affiliates

The components of earnings from unconsolidated affiliates are as follows:

|  | For the Six Months Ended |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |
(Earnings) loss from PAL |  | $ | (2,478 | ) |  | $ | 431 |
Earnings from nylon joint ventures |  |  | (820 | ) |  |  | (904 | )
Total equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates |  | $ | (3,298 | ) |  | $ | (473 | )
As a percentage of consolidated income before income taxes |  |  | 17.2 | % |  |  | 2.5 | %

UNIFI’s 34% share of PAL’s earnings increased in the current six-month period versus the prior six-month period, which was primarily attributable to improved operating margins and lower depreciation expense. The earnings from the nylon joint ventures experienced a decrease primarily due to softness in the nylon market, consistent with the results of the Nylon Segment, as well as higher raw material costs.

Consolidated Income Taxes

The change in consolidated income taxes is as follows:

|  | For the Six Months Ended |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |
(Benefit) provision for income taxes |  | $ | (1,630 | ) |  | $ | 5,650 |
Effective tax rate |  |  | (8.5 | )% |  |  | 29.5 | %

The effective tax rate for the current six-month period is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the $4,500 tax benefit resulting from the revaluation of UNIFI’s domestic deferred tax balances for the lower U.S. statutory tax rate, the release of a $3,807 valuation allowance and foreign income being taxed at lower rates. These benefits were partially offset by a $1,700 provisional charge for the deemed mandatory repatriation of foreign earnings and profits, net of foreign tax credits, and by losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can currently be recognized.

32

The effective tax rate for the prior six-month period is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign income being taxed at lower rates and a decrease in the valuation allowance for UNIFI’s investment in PAL. These benefits were partially offset by losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can currently be recognized and state and local income taxes net of federal benefits.

Consolidated Net Income

Net Income for the current six-month period was $20,762, or $1.12 per diluted share, compared to $13,994, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the prior six-month period. The increase was primarily attributable to a significantly lower effective tax rate, higher earnings from PAL and a loss on sale of business in the prior six-month period, partially offset by higher operating expenses and interest expense.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the current six-month period was $29,716, compared to $32,379 for the prior six-month period. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher operating expenses, as described in the discussions above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

UNIFI’s primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and stock repurchases. UNIFI’s primary sources of capital are cash generated from operations and borrowings available under the ABL Revolver. For the current six-month period, cash generated from operations was $20,389, and, at December 24, 2017, excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $54,379.

As of December 24, 2017, all of UNIFI’s $133,540 of debt obligations were guaranteed by certain of its domestic operating subsidiaries, while nearly all of UNIFI’s cash and cash equivalents were held by its foreign subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents held by such foreign subsidiaries may not be presently available to fund UNIFI’s domestic capital requirements, including its domestic debt obligations. UNIFI employs a variety of tax planning and financing strategies to ensure that its worldwide cash is available in the locations where it is needed. The following table presents a summary of cash and cash equivalents, liquidity, working capital and total debt obligations as of December 24, 2017 for domestic and foreign operations:

|  | Domestic |  |  | Foreign |  |  | Total |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 14 |  |  | $ | 48,601 |  |  | $ | 48,615 |
Borrowings available under financing arrangements |  |  | 54,379 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 54,379 |

Working capital |  | $ | 90,441 |  |  | $ | 105,371 |  |  | $ | 195,812 |
Total debt obligations |  | $ | 133,540 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 133,540 |

Debt Obligations

ABL Facility

On March 26, 2015, Unifi, Inc. and its subsidiary, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) for a $200,000 senior secured credit facility (the ABL Facility) with a syndicate of lenders. The ABL Facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (the ABL Revolver) and a term loan that can be reset up to a maximum amount of $100,000, once per fiscal year, if certain conditions are met (the ABL Term Loan). The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020.

The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all owned property and assets (together with all proceeds and products) of Unifi, Inc., Unifi Manufacturing, Inc. and certain subsidiary guarantors (the “Loan Parties”). It is also secured by a first-priority security interest in all (or 65% in the case of certain first-tier controlled foreign corporations, as required by the lenders) of the stock of (or other ownership interests in) each of the Loan Parties (other than Unifi, Inc.) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties, together with all proceeds and products thereof.

If excess availability under the ABL Revolver falls below the defined Trigger Level, a financial covenant requiring the Loan Parties to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.00 becomes effective. The Trigger Level as of December 24, 2017 was $23,750. In addition, the ABL Facility contains restrictions on particular payments and investments, including

certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and share repurchases. Subject to specific provisions, the ABL Term Loan may be prepaid at par, in whole or in part, at any time before the maturity date, at UNIFI’s discretion.

ABL Facility borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, or the Base Rate (as defined below) plus an applicable margin of 0.50% to 1.00%, with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. The applicable margin is based on (i) the excess availability under the ABL Revolver and (ii) the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter. The Base Rate means the greater of (a) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or (c) LIBOR plus 1.00%. UNIFI’s ability to borrow under the ABL Revolver is limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to certain conditions and limitations. There is also a monthly unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25%. As of December 24, 2017, UNIFI was in compliance with all financial covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement, and the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $54,379. At December 24, 2017, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.11 to 1.00 and UNIFI had $400 of standby letters of credit, none of which had been drawn upon.

UNIFI currently maintains three interest rate swaps that fix LIBOR at approximately 1.9% on $75,000 of variable-rate debt under the ABL Facility. Such swaps are scheduled to terminate in May 2022.

(1) Includes the effects of interest rate swaps.

(2) Scheduled maturity dates for capital lease obligations range from July 2018 to November 2027.

In addition to making payments in accordance with the scheduled maturities of debt required under its existing debt obligations, UNIFI may, from time to time, elect to repay additional amounts borrowed under the ABL Facility. Funds to make such repayments may come from the operating cash flows of the business or other sources and will depend upon UNIFI’s strategy, prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Scheduled Debt Maturities

The following table presents the scheduled maturities of UNIFI’s outstanding debt obligations for the remainder of fiscal 2018 and the fiscal years thereafter:

|  | Fiscal 2018 |  |  | Fiscal 2019 |  |  | Fiscal 2020 |  |  | Fiscal 2021 |  |  | Fiscal 2022 |  |  | Thereafter |

Working Capital

The following table presents the components of working capital and the reconciliation of working capital to Adjusted Working Capital:

|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | June 25, 2017 |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 48,615 |  |  | $ | 35,425 |
Receivables, net |  |  | 80,847 |  |  |  | 81,121 |
Inventories |  |  | 116,239 |  |  |  | 111,405 |
Other current assets |  |  | 17,466 |  |  |  | 15,686 |
Accounts payable |  |  | (35,420 | ) |  |  | (41,499 | )
Accrued expenses |  |  | (12,990 | ) |  |  | (16,144 | )
Other current liabilities |  |  | (18,945 | ) |  |  | (18,411 | )
Working capital |  | $ | 195,812 |  |  | $ | 167,583 |
Less: Cash and cash equivalents |  |  | (48,615 | ) |  |  | (35,425 | )
Less: Other current assets |  |  | (17,466 | ) |  |  | (15,686 | )
Less: Other current liabilities |  |  | 18,945 |  |  |  | 18,411 |
Adjusted Working Capital |  | $ | 148,676 |  |  | $ | 134,883 |

Working capital increased from $167,583 as of June 25, 2017 to $195,812 as of December 24, 2017, while Adjusted Working Capital increased from $134,883 to $148,676. Working capital and Adjusted Working Capital are within our range of expectations based on the composition of the underlying business and global structure.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents reflects the strong performance of our international subsidiaries and the intent to leave cash available in foreign jurisdictions for future expansion. The decrease in receivables, net is attributable to lower sales associated with the routine December shutdown period. The increase in inventories is primarily attributable to increased international sales activity and the impact of the routine December shutdown period. The increase in other current assets is attributable to an increase in income taxes receivable. The decrease in accounts payable is mainly due to the routine December shutdown period. The decrease in accrued expenses is primarily attributable to a net decrease in amounts due to employees, resulting from the timing of accrual and payment of (i) variable compensation earned in fiscal 2017 and (ii) routine payrolls. The change in other current liabilities is insignificant.

Capital Projects

During the current six-month period, UNIFI invested approximately $11,400 in capital projects, primarily relating to routine maintenance expenditures as well as the completion and start-up of the fourth production line in the REPREVE® Recycling Center, which is intended to increase UNIFI’s capacity to produce recycled polyester Chip for internal consumption and external sales.

Through the remainder of fiscal 2018, UNIFI expects to invest an additional $18,600 in capital projects (for an aggregate fiscal 2018 estimate of $30,000), which include (i) making further improvements in production capabilities and technology enhancements in the Americas and (ii) routine annual maintenance capital expenditures to allow continued efficient production.

The total amount ultimately invested in fiscal 2018 could be more or less than the anticipated amount, depending on the timing and scale of contemplated initiatives and other factors, and is expected to be funded by a combination of cash from operations and borrowings under the ABL Revolver. UNIFI expects the recent capital projects to provide benefits to future profitability. The additional assets from these capital projects consist primarily of machinery and equipment.

As a result of our continued focus on REPREVE® and other PVA yarns as part of our mix enrichment strategy, we may incur additional expenditures for capital projects beyond the currently estimated amount, as we pursue new, currently unanticipated opportunities in order to expand our manufacturing capabilities for these products, for other strategic growth initiatives or to further streamline our manufacturing process, in which case we may be required to increase the amount of our working capital and long-term borrowings. If our strategy is successful, we would expect higher gross profit as a result of the combination of potentially higher sales volumes and an improved mix from higher-margin products.

Stock Repurchase Program

On April 23, 2014, UNIFI announced a stock repurchase program (the “2014 SRP”) to authorize UNIFI to acquire up to $50,000 of its common stock. Under the 2014 SRP, UNIFI is authorized to repurchase shares at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at such times and prices and in such manner as determined by management, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. Repurchases, if any, are expected to be financed through cash generated from operations and borrowings under the ABL Revolver, and are subject to applicable limitations and restrictions as set forth in the ABL Facility. The 2014 SRP has no stated expiration or termination date, and there is no time limit or specific time frame otherwise for repurchases. UNIFI may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not beneficial or advisable.

UNIFI made no repurchases of its shares of common stock during the current six-month period. As of December 24, 2017, UNIFI had repurchased a total of 806 shares, at an average price of $27.79 (for a total of $22,409, inclusive of commission costs) pursuant to the 2014 SRP. As of December 24, 2017, $27,603 remained available for share repurchases under the 2014 SRP.

Liquidity Summary

UNIFI has met its historical liquidity requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements and other operating needs from its cash flows from operations and available borrowings. UNIFI believes that its existing cash balances, cash provided by operating activities and borrowings available under the ABL Revolver will enable UNIFI to comply with the terms of its indebtedness and meet its foreseeable liquidity requirements. Domestically, UNIFI’s cash balances, cash provided by operating activities and borrowings available under the ABL Revolver continue to be sufficient to fund UNIFI’s domestic operating activities as well as cash commitments for its investing and financing activities. For its existing foreign operations, UNIFI expects its existing cash balances and cash provided by operating activities will provide the needed liquidity to fund its foreign operating activities and any foreign investing activities, such as future capital expenditures. However, expansion of our foreign operations may require cash sourced from our domestic subsidiaries.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

The significant components of net cash provided by operating activities are summarized below. UNIFI analyzes net cash provided by operating activities utilizing the major components of the statements of cash flows prepared under the indirect method.

|  | For the Six Months Ended |
|  | December 24, 2017 |  |  | December 25, 2016 |
Net income including non-controlling interest |  | $ | 20,762 |  |  | $ | 13,496 |
Loss on sale of business |  |  | — |  |  |  | 1,662 |
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates |  |  | (3,298 | ) |  |  | (473 | )
Depreciation and amortization expense |  |  | 11,135 |  |  |  | 9,731 |
Non-cash compensation expense |  |  | 3,569 |  |  |  | 1,862 |
Deferred income taxes |  |  | (6,282 | ) |  |  | 5,335 |
Subtotal |  |  | 25,886 |  |  |  | 31,613 |
Distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates |  |  | 8,678 |  |  |  | 1,500 |
Other changes |  |  | (14,175 | ) |  |  | (15,817 | )
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 20,389 |  |  | $ | 17,296 |

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities from the prior six-month period to the current six-month period was primarily due to distributions received from PAL of $7,178 and a comparably lower build of working capital. The increase was partially offset by lower consolidated earnings, consistent with the comparable decrease in Adjusted EBITDA discussed above.

Cash Used in Investing Activities and Cash Provided by Financing Activities

UNIFI utilized $11,345 (net) for investing activities and was provided $3,963 (net) from financing activities during the current six-month period.

Significant investing activities include $11,360 for capital expenditures, primarily relating to ongoing maintenance capital expenditures and the completion and start-up of the fourth production line in the REPREVE® Recycling Center, which is intended to increase UNIFI’s capacity to produce recycled polyester Chip for internal consumption and external sales.

36

Significant financing activities include $7,6 00 for net borrowings against long-term debt. The borrowings helped fund the investing activities described above.

Contractual Obligations

UNIFI has incurred various financial obligations and commitments in its normal course of business. Financial obligations are considered to represent known future cash payments that UNIFI is required to make under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements.

There have been no material changes in the scheduled maturities of UNIFI’s contractual obligations as disclosed in the table under the heading “Contractual Obligations” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the 2017 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

UNIFI is not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on UNIFI’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s most critical accounting policies as those involving accounting estimates that require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time and where different reasonable estimates or changes in the accounting estimates from quarter to quarter could materially impact the presentation of the financial statements. UNIFI’s critical accounting policies are discussed in the 2017 Form 10-K. There were no material changes to these policies during the current period.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

UNIFI is exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and raw material and commodity costs, which may adversely affect its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. UNIFI does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, nor is it a party to any leveraged financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

UNIFI is exposed to interest rate risk through its borrowing activities. As of December 24, 2017, UNIFI had borrowings under its ABL Revolver and ABL Term Loan that totaled $111,900 and contain variable rates of interest; however, UNIFI hedges a significant portion of such interest rate variability using interest rate swaps. As of December 24, 2017, after considering the variable rate debt obligations that have been hedged and UNIFI’s outstanding debt obligations with fixed rates of interest, UNIFI’s sensitivity analysis indicates that a 50-basis point increase in LIBOR as of December 24, 2017 would result in an increase in annual interest expense of less than $200.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

UNIFI conducts its business in various foreign countries and in various foreign currencies. Each of UNIFI’s subsidiaries may enter into transactions (sales, purchases, fixed purchase commitments, etc.) that are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiary’s functional currency and thereby expose UNIFI to foreign currency exchange rate risk. UNIFI may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge this exposure. UNIFI may also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure for certain equipment or inventory purchase commitments. As of December 24, 2017, UNIFI had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

37

A significant portion of raw materials purchased by UNIFI’s Brazilian subsidiary are denominated in USD, requiring UNIFI to regularly exchange BRL. During recent fiscal years, UNIFI was negatively impacted by a devaluation of the BRL. Predicting fluctuations in the BRL is impracticable. Discussion and analysis surrounding the impact of fluctuations of the BRL as well as the RMB on UNIFI’s results of operations are included above in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financ ial Condition and Results of Operations.”

As of December 24, 2017, UNIFI’s subsidiaries outside the United States, whose functional currency is other than the USD, held approximately 16.7% of UNIFI’s consolidated total assets. UNIFI does not enter into foreign currency derivatives to hedge its net investment in its foreign operations.

As of December 24, 2017, $44,996, or 92.6%, of UNIFI’s cash and cash equivalents was held outside the United States, of which $31,061 was held in USD and $12,439 was held in BRL.

Raw Material and Commodity Risks

A significant portion of UNIFI’s raw materials and energy costs are derived from petroleum-based chemicals. The prices for petroleum and petroleum-related products and energy costs are volatile and dependent on global supply and demand dynamics, including certain geo-political risks. A sudden rise in the price of petroleum and petroleum-based products could have a material impact on UNIFI’s profitability. UNIFI does not use financial instruments to hedge its exposure to changes in these costs. The costs of the primary raw materials that UNIFI uses throughout all of its operations are generally based on USD pricing, and such materials are purchased at market or at fixed prices that are established with individual vendors as part of the purchasing process for quantities expected to be consumed in the ordinary course of business.

Other Risks

UNIFI is also exposed to political risk, including changing laws and regulations governing international trade, such as quotas, tariffs and tax laws. The degree of impact and the frequency of these events cannot be predicted.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures

As of December 24, 2017, an evaluation of the effectiveness of UNIFI’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of UNIFI’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on that evaluation, UNIFI’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that UNIFI’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by UNIFI in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by UNIFI in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to UNIFI’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in UNIFI’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 24, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, UNIFI’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHE R INFORMATION

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record reserves when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We maintain liability insurance for certain risks that is subject to certain self-insurance limits.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in UNIFI’s risk factors from those disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2017 Form 10-K.
