UNIFI®, Makers of REPREVE®, Provides Business Update and Schedules Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Earnings Conference Call

Demand trends across apparel producers continue to weigh on near-term operating performance

Unifi, Inc. (NYSE: UFI) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “UNIFI”), makers of REPREVE and one of the world’s leading innovators in recycled and synthetic yarns, today announced preliminary results for its second fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2023 and scheduled its second quarter fiscal 2023 earnings conference call.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, UNIFI expects:

  • Net sales between $135 million and $137 million, a decrease of approximately 24% to 25% from the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to the previous expectation of a 10% to 15% decrease;
  • Negative gross margin between (5.5%) and (6.5%);
  • Operating loss between $19.0 million and $21.0 million;
  • Loss before income taxes between $20.0 million and $22.0 million; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA between ($12.0) million and ($14.0) million, compared to the previous expectation of between $0.0 million and ($5.0) million.

Eddie Ingle, Chief Executive Officer of UNIFI, said, “Our business continued to face a difficult operating environment in the second fiscal quarter, and our results for the period are a reflection of continued demand disruption from inventory destocking and slowed global apparel production, which has been influenced by, among other things, the impact of COVID-19 in China. This weaker-than-expected demand has been prevalent across our apparel customers as they work through a normalization in their supply chains and aim to reduce excess inventories. In response to these temporary challenges, we executed a number of cost controls, and other savings measures are ongoing. In addition, we are benefiting from the additional liquidity afforded by our credit facility that we previously announced was amended, expanded and extended on October 28, 2022.”

Ingle continued, “As we look forward, the mid- and long-term drivers of our business remain intact. We expect to see improvements in volumes and operating performance as we move through calendar 2023 and customer ordering patterns begin to normalize. We should also experience improved performance and efficiencies across the business as a result of various cost saving measures currently in effect, along with stabilized raw material input costs. Our global business model and the long-term demand for sustainable solutions remains unchanged.”

The preliminary, unaudited information contained herein remains subject to confirmation and finalization based on UNIFI’s quarter-end closing procedures, including the execution of internal controls over financial reporting and the subsequent occurrence or identification of events prior to the formal issuance of the quarterly financial statements.
