Unifi Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2020 Results

Fourth quarter 2020 sales results in-line with expectations, with strong cash generation and significantly improved liquidity

GREENSBORO, N.C., August 5, 2020 – Unifi, Inc. (NYSE: UFI), one of the world’s leading innovators in recycled and synthetic yarns, today released operating results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended June 28, 2020, which reflect significant market disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company did not provide guidance for the quarter ended June 28, 2020.

Eddie Ingle, Chief Executive Officer of Unifi, said, “By the end of March 2020, the pandemic started to impact our apparel and automotive customers as they shut down or significantly curtailed operations. Since April 2020, monthly sales have improved sequentially, including July 2020, the best month since March 2020. At the onset of the pandemic, our management team prioritized safety and took measures to improve our liquidity and cash position while maintaining our long-term focus on innovation and sustainability. During the just completed quarter, we generated significant cash from operations while reducing inventory levels and operating costs. These actions, combined with a joint venture divestiture, allowed for significant debt reduction and an increase in cash. I am confident that our diverse global operations, strong management team, and solid financial position will enable us to overcome these current challenges and regain our momentum as we progress through fiscal 2021. I’m proud to return to Unifi and to have the opportunity to lead this great company through the next stage of its life cycle.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2020 Compared to Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2019

Net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were $86.1 million, down compared to $179.5 million in the same period last year. The decline was driven by the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, which impacted all business segments. However, from April 2020 to June 2020, core U.S. polyester products experienced sequential monthly sales increases.

Gross profit decreased to a loss of $9.5 million, from a profit of $18.3 million, due to significantly lower sales and production volumes. Stifled global demand drove lower-than-normal production levels in the U.S. and Brazil, which reduced the absorption of costs into inventory and increased the level of period costs recognized, thereby decreasing gross profit.

Operating loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $20.9 million, compared to operating income of $5.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to the COVID-19 impact.

Net loss was $20.2 million, or $1.10 loss per share, compared to net income of $1.0 million, or EPS of $0.05. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $14.0 million, compared to positive $12.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarters of fiscal 2019 and 2020 includes an adjustment for severance expenses relating to salaried workforce reductions.

Fiscal 2020 Compared to Fiscal 2019

Fiscal 2020 consisted of 52 weeks of domestic operations, compared to 53 weeks of domestic operations in fiscal 2019. Net sales were $606.5 million for fiscal 2020, compared to $708.8 million in fiscal 2019, as the COVID-19 outbreak stifled global economic activity and sales growth momentum in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Gross margin was 6.4% for fiscal 2020, compared to 9.4% for fiscal 2019. Operating loss was $8.8 million for fiscal 2020, compared to income of $11.0 million for fiscal 2019. Net loss was $57.2 million for fiscal 2020 and includes a $45.2 million impairment expense for the sale of the 34% interest in PAL, compared to net income of $2.5 million for fiscal 2019.

Net Debt was $23.6 million on June 28, 2020, compared to $105.8 million on June 30, 2019. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $75.3 million on June 28, 2020, from $22.2 million on June 30, 2019. The favorable cash and liquidity positions benefited from the $60.0 million of PAL sale proceeds received in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and strong operating cash flow generation throughout fiscal 2020.

Fiscal 2021 Outlook

For fiscal 2021, assuming no further significant disruptions to global markets, the Company expects:

| • | sales for each business segment to grow from fourth quarter fiscal 2020 levels at different rates through the fiscal year;

| • | sequential improvement in sales and underlying business performance through each quarter of fiscal 2021;

| • | sales of REPREVE® and specialty products to continue recent growth rates and increase as a percentage of consolidated sales; and

| • | $22.0 million of capital expenditures, including the previously-announced eAFK Evo texturing machines to begin installation in early calendar 2021 which should generate meaningful financial benefit to fiscal 2022.

Ingle continued, “Significant progress was made during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 on several key priorities. At that time, our business in Asia experienced strong growth, our U.S polyester operations experienced underlying sales and market share growth as favorable trade measures were enacted, cost reduction actions contributed to our performance, and the sustainability focus of customers propelled further REPREVE® sales growth.”

Ingle concluded, “Our sustainable solutions and innovative culture make us the partner of choice for leading global brands seeking to meet their sustainability goals. We have a truly great company with an energized team, and I’m looking forward to growing our business as we exit this pandemic. We have a long history of navigating significant change and market environments across our almost 50 year history. We have a resilient and adaptive

business model and culture, and are using this to our advantage. Looking forward, our innovative and sustainable solutions will be the growth engine s that help us meet the evolving needs of our forward-thinking consumers. We expect REPREVE® to grow in non-traditional markets, as more brands seek out ways to reduce the carbon footprint of their raw materials.

REPREVE® Fiber metric includes the recycled filament fiber and recycled staple fiber platforms, which are key inputs for apparel production, but it excludes REPREVE® Chip (recycled polyester resin with multiple applications and end-markets).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain non-GAAP financial measures included herein are designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EPS and Net Debt (together, the “non-GAAP financial measures”).

• | EBITDA represents Net (loss) income before net interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense.

• | Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude 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 (Loss) Income represents Net (loss) income calculated under GAAP adjusted to exclude certain amounts. Management believes the excluded amounts do not reflect the ongoing operations and performance of UNIFI and/or exclusion may be necessary to understand and compare the underlying results of UNIFI.

• | Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted Net (Loss) Income divided by UNIFI’s weighted average common shares outstanding.

• | Net Debt represents debt principal less cash and cash equivalents.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures are subjective, based on management’s belief as to which items should be included or excluded in order to provide the most reasonable and comparable view of the underlying operating performance of the business. We may, from time to time, modify the amounts used to determine our non-GAAP financial measures.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures better reflect Unifi’s underlying operations and performance and that their use, as operating performance measures, provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles, and ages of related assets, among otherwise comparable companies.

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. Equity in loss (earnings) of PAL is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because such results do not reflect our operating performance.

Management uses Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted EPS (i) as measurements of net operating performance because they assist us in comparing such performance on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of (a) items that we would not expect to occur as a part of our normal business on a regular basis and (b) components of the provision for income taxes that we would not expect to occur as a part of our underlying taxable operations; (ii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; and (iii) as measures in determining the value of other acquisitions and dispositions.

Management uses Net Debt as a liquidity and leverage metric to determine how much debt would remain if all cash and cash equivalents were used to pay down debt principal.

In evaluating non-GAAP financial measures, investors should be aware that, in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments included herein. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as indicating that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Each of our non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results or liquidity measures as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are (i) it is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows; (ii) it does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not indicative of our ongoing operations; (iii) it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (iv) it does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to make payments on our debt; (v) it does not reflect our future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (vi) it does not reflect limitations on or costs related to transferring earnings from our subsidiaries to us; and (vii) other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations, including those under our outstanding debt obligations. Investors should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these measures only as supplemental information.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included herein contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws about the financial condition and results of operations of Unifi that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations about our future economic performance, considering the information currently available to management. An example of such forward-looking statements include, among others, guidance pertaining to our financial outlook. The words “believe,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek,” “strive” and words of similar import, or the negative of such words, identify or signal the presence of forward-looking statements. These statements are not statements of historical fact, and they involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to differ materially from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition that we express or imply in any forward-looking statement.

Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: the competitive nature of the textile industry and the impact of global competition; changes in the trade regulatory environment and governmental policies and legislation; the availability, sourcing and pricing of raw materials; general domestic and international economic and industry conditions in markets where Unifi competes, including economic and political factors over which Unifi has no control; changes in consumer spending, customer preferences, fashion trends and end uses for products; the financial condition of Unifi’s customers; the loss of a significant customer or brand partner; natural disasters, industrial accidents, power or water shortages, extreme weather conditions and other disruptions at one of our facilities; the disruption of operations, global demand, or financial performance as a result of catastrophic or extraordinary events, including epidemics or pandemics such as the recent strain of coronavirus; the success of Unifi’s strategic business initiatives; the volatility of financial and credit markets; the ability to service indebtedness and fund capital expenditures and strategic business initiatives; the availability of and access to credit on reasonable terms; changes in foreign currency exchange, interest and inflation rates; fluctuations in production costs; the ability to protect intellectual property; the strength and reputation of our brands; employee relations; the ability to attract, retain and motivate key employees; the impact of environmental, health and safety regulations; the impact of tax laws, the judicial or administrative interpretations of tax laws and/or changes in such laws or interpretations; the operating performance of joint ventures and other equity method investments; and the accurate financial reporting of information from equity method investees.

All such factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors or to assess the impact of each such factor on Unifi. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made, except as may be required by federal securities laws. The above and other risks and uncertainties are described in Unifi’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and additional risks or uncertainties may be described from time to time in other reports filed by Unifi with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
