UNIFI®, Makers of REPREVE®, Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

Strategic initiatives to realign cost and operational profiles have significantly reduced revenue breakeven point, while strengthening the balance sheet and financial results

GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Unifi, Inc. (NYSE: UFI), the makers of REPREVE® and one of the world’s leading innovators in recycled and synthetic yarns, today released operating results for the second fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2025.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Overview

  • Cost and footprint reductions completed, and allow for an improved profitability profile at lower revenue levels going forward.
  • Cash provided by operating activities was $25.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and $16.4 million during the six months ended December 28, 2025.
  • Debt principal was $105.4 million and Net Debt* was $75.2 million at December 28, 2025, compared to $108.0 million of debt principal and Net Debt* of $85.3 million at June 29, 2025.
  • SG&A expenses were $9.7 million, a decrease of 25% from the second quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by cost alignment efforts.
  • Net sales were $121.4 million, a decrease of 12.6% from the second quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by trade and tariff-related uncertainty and demand volatility across each business segment.
  • Revenues from REPREVE Fiber products were $34.3 million and represented 28% of net sales, compared to $43.3 million or 31% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
  • Gross profit was $3.6 million and gross margin was 3.0%, compared to gross profit of $0.5 million and gross margin of 0.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
  • Net loss was $9.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, which includes $0.8 million in net restructuring costs, compared to a net loss of $11.4 million, or $0.62 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted Net Loss* was $8.9 million, which excludes $0.8 million in net restructuring costs, compared to Adjusted Net Loss of $15.7 million for the prior year period, which excluded a $4.3 million gain on a warehouse sale.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* was $(0.7) million, compared to $(5.8) million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Eddie Ingle, Chief Executive Officer of Unifi, Inc., stated, “Our results for the second quarter were in line with our expectations. Over the last two years, we have executed numerous strategic initiatives to realign our cost structure and operations. The combination of these actions have positioned UNIFI to generate profits on a meaningfully lower revenue base. As our markets and the tariff situation continue to normalize, we will be able to leverage this more streamlined business model to drive stronger profitability and free cash flow.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Compared to Second Quarter Fiscal 2025

Net sales decreased to $121.4 million from $138.9 million, primarily due to lower customer ordering patterns stemming from trade and tariff-related uncertainty.

Gross profit increased to $3.6 million from $0.5 million. Americas Segment gross profit increased by $6.1 million, primarily from the multi-year cost alignment efforts, partially offset by lower demand and production. Brazil Segment gross profit decreased by $2.7 million, primarily due to import pricing pressures and lower sales volumes. Asia Segment gross profit decreased by $0.3 million, primarily due to lower sales volumes.

Operating loss improved to $7.3 million from $7.6 million. The change was primarily due to higher gross profit and lower SG&A, partially offset by net restructuring costs. Net loss was $9.7 million compared to a net loss of $11.4 million. Adjusted Net Loss* was $8.9 million, which excludes $0.8 million in net restructuring costs, compared to Adjusted Net Loss of $15.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA* was $(0.7) million, which excludes the net restructuring costs adjustments, compared to $(5.8) million.

Fiscal 2026 Profit Improvement Plan

During October 2025, UNIFI implemented additional cost savings initiatives that included reducing variable manufacturing costs across labor, spend, and support functions, while also eliminating many salaried positions in the U.S. Along with a renewed focus on optimizing commercial execution, increasing margin accretive activities, and scrutinizing working capital, management expects this improvement plan to aid in generating positive operating cash flow in the quarters ahead.

Ingle concluded, “While we are only a few weeks into our third fiscal quarter, we are starting to see some initial signs of a return to a more normalized operating environment, with improving customer engagements. Additionally, our investments in innovation and the beyond apparel portfolio are gaining traction across key focus areas. As our customers begin to rebuild their depleted inventory levels in calendar 2026, we expect to increase our working capital levels modestly in support of increased sales levels. As a result, we expect the third quarter to exhibit lower operating cash flows compared to the most recent quarter. While we recognize that there is still a lot of work to be done to achieve our goals, we are proud of the progress that we have made. As we look towards the second half of fiscal 2026, our focus will remain on converting our improved operational progress into sustained financial momentum, which in turn will create value for our shareholders.”

* Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt are non-GAAP financial measures. The schedules included in this press release reconcile each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

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

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

This press release also includes certain forward-looking information that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts because a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require UNIFI to predict the timing and likelihood of potential future events such as restructurings, M&A activity, contract modifications, and other infrequent or unusual gains and losses. Neither the timing nor likelihood of these events, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, a reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a measurement of operating performance because it assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of (a) items directly related to our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) and (b) items that we would not expect to occur as a part of our normal business on a regular basis; (ii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; (iii) as a valuation measure for evaluating our operating performance and our capacity to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business; and (iv) as one measure in determining the value of other acquisitions and dispositions. Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance metric utilized in the determination of variable compensation. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity, because it serves as a high-level proxy for cash generated from operations.

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

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

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

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

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements

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

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

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