1. Background
Unifi, Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1969 (together with its subsidiaries, “we”, the “Company” or “Unifi”), is a multi-national manufacturing company that processes and sells high-volume commodity yarns, specialized yarns designed to meet certain customer specifications, and premier value-added (“PVA”) yarns with enhanced performance characteristics. The Company sells yarns made from polyester and nylon to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, sock, home furnishings, automotive upholstery, industrial and other end-use markets. The Company’s polyester products include polyester polymer beads (“Chip”), partially oriented yarn (“POY”), textured, solution and package dyed, twisted and beamed yarns; each is available in virgin or recycled varieties (made from both pre-consumer yarn waste and post-consumer waste, including plastic bottles). The Company’s nylon products include textured, solution dyed and covered spandex products.
The Company maintains one of the industry’s most comprehensive yarn product offerings, and it has ten manufacturing operations in four countries and participates in joint ventures in Israel and the United States (“U.S.”). The Company’s principal markets are located in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Central America and South America. In addition, the Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in the People’s Republic of China (“China”) focused on the sale and promotion of the Company’s PVA and other specialty products in the Asian textile market, primarily in China, as well as into the European market.
2. Basis of Presentation; Condensed Notes
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. As contemplated by the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 the Company’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 (the "2013 Form 10-K").
The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all 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 June 30, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. 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 dollar and other currency amounts and share amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands, except as otherwise noted.
Fiscal Year
The Company’s current fiscal quarter ended on September 29, 2013. The Company’s Brazilian, Colombian and Chinese subsidiaries report on a calendar period basis, with their fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2013. There were no significant transactions or events that occurred between the Company’s fiscal quarter end and its subsidiaries’ fiscal quarter end for this period. The three months ended September 29, 2013 and the three months ended September 23, 2012 each consisted of thirteen week periods.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of prior years’ data have been made to conform to the current year presentation.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have, or are expected to have, a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Balance at September 29, 2013 |
$ | (933 | ) | $ | (873 | ) |
Amounts charged to costs and expenses for the allowance for uncollectible accounts are reflected in the (Benefit) provision for bad debts. For the allowance for uncollectible accounts, deductions represent amounts written off which were deemed to not be collectible, net of any recoveries. Amounts charged to costs and expenses for the reserves for yarn quality claims are primarily reflected as a reduction of Net sales. For the reserve for yarn quality claims, deductions represent adjustments to either increase or decrease claims based on negotiated amounts or actual versus estimated claim differences. Amounts charged to other accounts primarily include the impact of translating the activity of the Company’s foreign affiliates from their respective local currencies to the U.S. dollar.

In fiscal year 2007, the Company purchased the texturing operations of Dillon Yarn Corporation (“Dillon”) which are included in the Company’s Polyester Segment. The valuation of the customer list acquired was determined by estimating the discounted net earnings attributable to the customer relationships that were purchased after considering items such as possible customer attrition. Based on the length and trend of the projected cash flows, an estimated useful life of thirteen years was determined. The customer list is being amortized in a manner which reflects the expected economic benefit that will be received over its thirteen year life. The Dillon non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight line method over the periods currently covered by the agreements. The amortization expense is included within the Polyester Segment’s depreciation and amortization expense.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Repreve Renewables, LLC (“Renewables”). The non-compete agreement acquired is being amortized using the straight line method over the five year term of the agreement. The licenses acquired are being amortized using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives of four to eight years.
As part of its efforts to market REPREVE® and other PVA products to consumers worldwide and to raise its visibility among brands, the Company capitalizes expenses incurred to register certain trademarks of Repreve and other PVA products in various countries. The Company has determined that these trademarks have varying useful lives of up to three years.

ABL Facility
On May 24, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to establish a $150,000 senior secured credit facility (“ABL Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. The ABL Facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (“ABL Revolver”) and a $50,000 term loan (“ABL Term Loan”). In addition, the Company entered into a $30,000 term loan (“Term B Loan”) which was repaid on January 8, 2013. The Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement on December 27, 2012 and a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement on June 25, 2013. The ABL Facility, as amended, has a maturity date of May 24, 2018.
The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all property and assets of Unifi, Inc., Unifi Manufacturing, Inc. and its subsidiary guarantors (the “Loan Parties”). It is also secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the stock of (or other ownership interests in) each of the Loan Parties (other than the Company) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties; provided, that only 65% of the stock of (or other ownership interests in) first tier controlled foreign corporations is pledged, together with all proceeds and products thereof. The ABL Facility is further secured by a first-priority lien on the Company’s limited liability company membership interest in Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”).
The Credit Agreement includes representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are usual and customary for financings of this type. Should excess availability under the ABL Revolver fall below the greater of $10,000 or 20% of the maximum revolver amount, a financial covenant requiring the Loan Parties to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.0 becomes effective. In addition, the ABL Facility contains restrictions on certain payments and investments, including restrictions on the payments of dividends and share repurchases, unless excess availability is greater than $20,000 for the thirty day period prior to the making of such a distribution (as calculated on a pro forma basis as if the payment and any revolving loans made in connection therewith were made on the first day of such period).
Unifi, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)
(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
The Company’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. ABL Revolver borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.75% to 2.25%, or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% to 1.25% with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. The applicable margin is based on the average quarterly excess availability under the ABL Revolver. The Base Rate means the greater of (i) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0%. There is also an unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25% to 0.375% of the unused line amount which is paid monthly.
The ABL Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.25%, or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% with interest paid monthly. ABL Term Loan principal payments (if any) are based on the amount that the outstanding balance of the ABL Term Loan exceeds a calculation of eligible machinery and equipment and eligible real property collateral specific to the ABL Term Loan. Subject to certain provisions, the ABL Term Loan may be prepaid at par, in whole or in part, at any time before the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion.
Under the terms of the ABL Facility, the Company is required to hedge at least $50,000 of variable interest rate exposure so long as the outstanding principal of all indebtedness having variable interest rates exceeds $75,000.
As of September 29, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants, the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $38,968, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 4.58 to 1.0 and the Company had $525 of standby letters of credit, none of which have been drawn upon.
Term Loan from Unconsolidated Affiliate
On August 30, 2012, a foreign subsidiary of the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement for $1,250 with its unconsolidated affiliate U.N.F. Industries Ltd. (“UNF”). The loan bears interest at 3% with interest payable semi-annually. The loan does not amortize and has a maturity date of August 30, 2014, at which time the entire principal balance is due.
Capital Lease Obligation
On November 19, 2012, the Company entered into a capital lease with Salem Leasing Corporation for certain transportation equipment. The original amount due under the fifteen year term of the lease is $1,234 and payments are made monthly. The implicit annual interest rate under the lease is approximately 4.6%.

The Company maintains an unfunded supplemental post-employment plan for certain management employees. Each participant’s account is credited annually based upon a percentage of their base salary with each participant’s balance adjusted quarterly to reflect returns based upon a stock market index. Amounts are paid to participants only after termination of their employment. The following table presents the expense recorded within selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for this plan:

13. Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates for the three month periods ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012 were based upon the estimated effective income tax rate applicable for the full year after giving effect to any significant items related specifically to interim periods. The effective income tax rate can be impacted over the fiscal year by the mix and timing of actual earnings from our U.S. operations and foreign sources versus annual projections and changes in foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar. As a result, the Company’s effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis.
The Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended September 29, 2013 resulted in tax expense of $5,751 with an effective tax rate of 40.0%. The Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended September 23, 2012 resulted in tax expense of $3,233, with an effective tax rate of 61.1%. The effective income tax rate for each of the periods is higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to foreign dividends taxed in the U.S., the timing of the Company’s recognition of higher taxable versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate for which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance and losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized.
Unifi, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)
(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
As of September 29, 2013, the Company’s valuation allowance was $17,153 and includes $14,391 for reserves against certain deferred tax assets primarily related to equity investments and foreign tax credit carryforwards, as well as $2,762 for reserves against certain deferred tax assets of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards. The Company's valuation allowance as of June 30, 2013 was $16,690.
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions since June 30, 2013. The Company’s estimate for the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. Management believes that any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters have been adequately provided for. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved or when statutes of limitation on potential assessments expire.
The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, as well as income tax returns in numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. The tax years subject to examination vary by jurisdiction. The Company regularly assesses the outcomes of both completed and ongoing examinations to ensure that the Company’s provision for income taxes is sufficient. Currently, the Company is subject to income tax examinations for U.S. federal income taxes for tax years 2010 through 2013, for foreign income taxes for tax years 2007 through 2013, and for state and local income taxes for tax years 2003 through 2013. The U.S. federal tax returns and state tax returns filed for the 2010 through 2013 tax years have utilized carryforward tax attributes generated in prior tax years, including net operating losses, which could potentially be revised upon examination.
14. Shareholders’ Equity
On January 22, 2013, the Board approved a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $50,000 worth of the Company’s common stock. Under the repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at such times, manner and prices as determined by management, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. Repurchases are expected to be financed through cash from operations and borrowings under the Company’s ABL Revolver, and are subject to applicable limitations and restrictions as set forth in the ABL Facility. The repurchase program has no stated expiration or termination date, and there is no time limit or specific time frame otherwise for repurchases. The Company may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not beneficial or advisable.
The following table summarizes the Company’s repurchases and retirements of its common stock since the inception of its stock repurchase program.

All repurchased shares have been retired and have the status of authorized and unissued shares. The cost of the repurchased shares above par value has been allocated between Capital in excess of par value and Retained earnings.
No dividends were paid during the last two fiscal years.
15. Stock Based Compensation
On October 29, 2008, the Company’s shareholders approved the Unifi, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2008 LTIP”). The 2008 LTIP authorized the issuance of up to 2,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the grant or exercise of stock options, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock, but not more than 1,000 shares may be issued as restricted stock. Awards may be made to employees, directors and consultants, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Option awards are granted with an exercise price not less than the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant and have ten year contractual terms. The 2008 LTIP replaced the 1999 Unifi, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“1999 LTIP”), however, prior grants outstanding under the 1999 LTIP remain subject to that plan’s provisions.

Stock options
During the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012, the Company granted stock options to purchase 92 and 138 shares of common stock, respectively, to certain key employees. The stock options vest ratably over the required three year service period. For the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012, the weighted average exercise price of the options was $22.22 and $11.15 per share, respectively. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the weighted average grant date fair value of $14.63 and $7.28 per share, respectively.
The valuation models used the following assumptions:

The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected term, volatility and forfeitures. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the options.

At September 29, 2013, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $1,476, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.
For the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012, the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $4,442, and $26, respectively. The amount of cash received from the exercise of options was $2,373 and $29 and the tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $1,759 and $1 for the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012, respectively.
Restricted stock units
During the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012, the Company granted 22 and 32 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, to certain key employees. The RSUs are subject to a vesting restriction and convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company stock until such RSUs have vested and been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company stock. The RSUs vest over a three year period. The RSUs do not have a contractual term and will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of stock on each vesting date and distributed to the grantee, or the grantee may elect to defer the receipt of the shares of stock until separation from service. If after the first anniversary of the grant date and prior to the final vesting date the grantee has a separation from service without cause for any reason other than the employee’s resignation, the remaining unvested RSUs will become fully vested and will be converted to an equivalent number of shares of stock and issued to the grantee. The Company estimated the fair value of the awards granted during the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012 to be $22.08 and $11.23 per RSU, respectively.
No RSUs were granted to non-employee directors in either period.
The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the award grant date.

Subsequent Event
On October 23, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved the Unifi, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan replaced the 2008 LTIP. No additional awards will be granted under the 2008 LTIP, however, prior grants outstanding under the 2008 LTIP remain subject to that plan’s provisions. The 2013 Plan authorized the issuance of 1,000 shares of common stock, subject to certain increases in the event outstanding awards under the 2008 LTIP expire, are forfeited or otherwise terminate unexercised.

16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial Instruments
The Company uses 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. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.
Foreign currency forward contracts
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges for exposures related to certain sales, inventory purchases and equipment purchases which are denominated in currencies that are not its functional currency. As of September 29, 2013, the latest maturity date for all outstanding foreign currency forward contracts is during November 2013. These items are not designated as hedges by the Company and are marked to market each period and offset by the foreign exchange (gains) losses included in Other operating expense, net resulting from the underlying exposures of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.
Interest rate swap
On May 18, 2012, the Company entered into a five year, $50,000 interest rate swap with Wells Fargo to provide a hedge against the variability of cash flows related to additional LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings under the Company’s ABL Revolver and ABL Term Loan. It increased to $85,000 in May 2013 and will decrease $5,000 per quarter beginning with the current quarter until the balance again reaches $50,000 in February 2015, where it will remain through the life of the instrument. This interest rate swap allows the Company to fix LIBOR at 1.06% and terminates on May 24, 2017.
On November 26, 2012, the Company de-designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. For the quarterly period ended September 29, 2013, the Company reclassified pre-tax unrealized losses of $155 from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Interest expense; the Company expects to reclassify additional losses of $502 during the next twelve months.

By entering into derivative instrument contracts, the Company exposes itself to counterparty credit risk. The Company attempts to minimize this risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure to any single counterparty and regularly monitoring its market position with each counterparty. The Company’s derivative instruments do not contain any credit risk related contingent features.

Since its most recent debt refinancing and modification, the Company believes that there have been no significant changes to its credit risk profile or the interest rates available to the Company for debt issuances with similar terms and average maturities and the Company estimates that the fair values of these long-term debt obligations approximate their 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 because of their short-term nature.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

20. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Variable Interest Entities
Parkdale America, LLC
In June 1997, the Company and Parkdale Mills, Inc. (“Mills”) entered into a Contribution Agreement that set forth the terms and conditions by which the two companies contributed all of the assets of their spun cotton yarn operations utilizing open-end and air-jet spinning technologies to create Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”). In exchange for its contribution, the Company received a 34% ownership interest in PAL which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Effective January 1, 2012, Mills’ interest in PAL was assigned to Parkdale Incorporated. PAL’s fiscal year end is the Saturday nearest to December 31 and PAL is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes. PAL is a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the textile industry and apparel market, both foreign and domestic. PAL has 13 manufacturing facilities located primarily in the southeast region of the U.S. According to its most recently issued audited financial statements, PAL’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 82% of total revenues and 77% of total gross accounts receivable outstanding, with the largest customer accounting for approximately 38% of revenues and 35% of accounts receivable.
During August 2008, a federal government program commenced providing economic adjustment assistance to domestic users of upland cotton (the “EAP program”). The program offers a subsidy for cotton consumed in domestic production and the subsidy is paid the month after the eligible cotton is consumed. The subsidy must be used within eighteen months after the marketing year in which it is earned to purchase qualifying capital expenditures in the U.S. for production of goods from upland cotton. The marketing year is from August 1 to July 31. The program provided a subsidy of four cents per pound through July 31, 2012 and thereafter provides a subsidy of three cents per pound. The Company recognizes its share of PAL’s income for the cotton subsidy when the cotton has been consumed and the qualifying assets have been acquired with an appropriate allocation methodology considering the dual criteria of the subsidy.
As of September 29, 2013, the Company’s investment in PAL was $92,741 and shown within Investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The reconciliation between the Company’s share of the underlying equity of PAL and its investment is as follows:

U.N.F. Industries, Ltd.
In September 2000, the Company and Nilit Ltd. (“Nilit”) formed a 50/50 joint venture, U.N.F. Industries Ltd. (“UNF”), for the purpose of operating nylon extrusion assets to manufacture nylon POY. All raw material and production services for UNF are provided by Nilit 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
In October 2009, the Company and Nilit America Inc. (“Nilit America”) formed a 50/50 joint venture, UNF America LLC (“UNF America”), for the purpose of operating a nylon extrusion facility which manufactures nylon POY. All raw material and production services for UNF America are provided by Nilit America under separate supply and services agreements. UNF America’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) (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
In conjunction with the formation of UNF America, the Company entered into a supply agreement with UNF and UNF America whereby the Company agreed to purchase all of its first quality nylon POY requirements for texturing (subject to certain exceptions) from either UNF or UNF America. The agreement has no stated minimum purchase quantities and pricing is negotiated every six months, based on market rates. As of September 29, 2013, the Company’s open purchase orders related to this agreement were $3,823.
The Company’s raw material purchases under this supply agreement consist of the following:

As of September 29, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company had combined accounts payable due to UNF and UNF America of $4,105 and $2,890, respectively.
The Company has determined that UNF and UNF America are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and has also determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these entities, based on the terms of the supply agreement. As a result, these entities should be consolidated in the Company’s financial results. As the Company purchases substantially all of the output from the two entities, and, as the two entities’ balance sheets constitute 3% or less of the Company’s current assets, total assets and total liabilities, the Company has not included the accounts of UNF and UNF America in its consolidated financial statements. As of September 29, 2013, the Company’s combined investments in UNF and UNF America were $4,147 and are shown within Investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The financial results of UNF and UNF America are included in the Company’s financial statements with a one month lag, using the equity method of accounting and with intercompany profits eliminated in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. Other than the supply agreement discussed above, the Company does not provide any other commitments or guarantees related to either UNF or UNF America.
Unaudited, condensed balance sheet and income statement information for the Company’s unconsolidated affiliates is presented in the following tables. As PAL is defined as significant, its information is separately disclosed.

21. Commitments and Contingencies
Collective Bargaining Agreements
While employees of the Company’s foreign operations are generally unionized, none of the Company’s domestic labor force is currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Environmental
On September 30, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of the 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 (“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 (“EPA”) and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (“DENR”) pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action program. The Corrective Action program requires DuPont to identify all potential areas of environmental concern (“AOCs”), assess the extent of containment at the identified AOCs and to clean it up to comply with applicable regulatory standards. Effective March 20, 2008, the Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement associated with conveyance of certain assets at Kinston to DuPont. This agreement terminated the Ground Lease and relieved the Company of any future responsibility for environmental remediation, other than participation with DuPont, if so called upon, with regard to the Company’s period of operation of the Kinston site which was from 2004 to 2008. However, the Company continues to own a satellite service facility acquired in the INVISTA transaction that has contamination from DuPont’s operations and is monitored by DENR. This site has been remediated by DuPont, and DuPont has received authority from DENR to discontinue remediation, other than natural attenuation. DuPont’s duty to monitor and report to DENR will be transferred to the Company in the future, at which time DuPont must pay the Company for seven years of monitoring and reporting costs and the Company will assume responsibility for any future remediation and monitoring of the site. At this time, the Company 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.
Operating Leases
The Company routinely leases sales and administrative office space, warehousing and distribution centers, transportation equipment, manufacturing equipment, and other information technology and office equipment from third parties. In addition, Renewables leases farm land for use in growing a patented bio-energy crop, Freedom Giant Miscanthus. The Company does not sub-lease any of its leased property.

22. Related Party Transactions
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company repurchased 249 shares of its common stock through open market transactions. Invemed Associates LLC (“Invemed”) provided brokerage services to the Company for the repurchase of these shares. The Company paid a commission of $.02 per share to Invemed. Mr. Kenneth G. Langone, a member of the Company’s Board, is the founder and chairman of Invemed.

Unifi, Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued) (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon Segment Adjusted Profit which is defined as segment gross profit plus segment depreciation and amortization less segment SG&A expenses and plus segment other adjustments. Segment operating profit represents segment net sales less cost of sales, restructuring and other charges and SG&A expenses. The accounting policies for the segments are consistent with the Company’s accounting policies. Intersegment sales are accounted for at current market prices.

Consolidated Net Sales
Net sales for the September 2013 quarter decreased by $4,231, or 2.4%, as compared to the prior year September quarter. Consolidated sales volume decreased slightly by 0.5% due to lower volumes in the International Segment partially offset by volume improvements in the Polyester and Nylon segments. The volume increases in the Polyester and Nylon segments are attributable to growth in the U.S. apparel market. The decrease in volume in the International Segment is due to lower sales volumes for the Company’s Chinese subsidiary as a result of weaker market conditions. The Brazilian operation increased its sales volumes 3.5% over the prior year September quarter; however, this increase was attributable to higher volumes of resale yarns, while manufactured product volumes declined. The weighted average sales price decreased 1.9% primarily due to a shift in mix towards products that carry a lower average selling price in the Nylon Segment and a lower weighted average sales price in Brazil on a U.S. dollar basis due to changes in exchange rates (while on a local currency basis, the weighted average sales price in Brazil increased in the September 2013 quarter as compared with the prior year quarter).
Consolidated Gross Profit
Gross profit for the September 2013 quarter increased by $1,965, or 10.9%, as compared to the prior fiscal year September quarter. Gross profit increased as a result of improved sales volumes for the Polyester and Nylon segments and increased unit conversion margins for the domestic operations. In addition, gross profit was favorably impacted by lower unit manufacturing costs and depreciation expenses within the Polyester and Nylon segments.
Polyester Segment Gross Profit
The components of segment gross 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:

Gross profit |

The increase in gross profit of $2,153 was primarily a result of increased sales volume, improved conversion margins and lower unit manufacturing costs. Sales volume increased 1.5% over the prior year quarter primarily due to growth in the U.S. apparel and automotive markets. In addition, conversion margins improved due to the Company’s mix enrichment and PVA sales efforts while unit manufacturing costs were lower primarily as a result of lower depreciation expense.
Polyester Segment net sales and gross profit as a percentage of total consolidated amounts were 55.5% and 51.8% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, compared to 53.8% and 45.5% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, respectively.

The increase in gross profit of $624 was primarily a result of increased sales volumes, improved conversion margins and lower unit manufacturing costs. Sales volumes increased 3.3% over the prior year quarter primarily due to growth in the U.S. apparel market and to the success of new PVA programs. These new PVA programs contributed significantly to the improvement in unit conversion margins. Unit manufacturing costs were lower as a result of higher capacity utilization rates, improved efficiencies and a lower cost product mix.
Nylon Segment net sales and gross profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 23.5% and 23.5% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, compared to 23.2% and 22.6% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, respectively.

Gross profit for the International Segment decreased $812 from the prior year September quarter as a result of lower gross profit in both the Brazilian and Chinese operations. Despite continued competition from low-priced yarn imports and weak market conditions, the Brazilian operation increased its sales volumes 3.5% over the prior year September quarter; however, this increase was attributable to higher volumes of resale yarns, while manufactured product volumes declined. Gross profit for the Brazilian operation was also unfavorably impacted by higher unit manufacturing costs due to lower capacity utilization rates and inflation, the loss of certain tax incentives for local producers, and negative currency translation effects caused by a weakened Brazilian Real versus the U.S. dollar. These negative impacts were partially offset by improved unit conversion margins on a local currency basis resulting from price increases and POY import duty reductions implemented by the Brazilian government.
The decrease in gross profit for the Chinese operation was due to lower sales volumes as a result of soft market conditions, partially offset by higher margins.
International Segment net sales and gross profit as a percentage of total consolidated amounts were 21.0% and 24.7% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, compared to 23.0% and 31.9% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, respectively.
Consolidated Selling General & Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses decreased in total and as a percentage of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The decrease was primarily related to reductions in consumer marketing and branding expense, deferred compensation, and professional fees.

Consolidated Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense decreased from $1,320 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 to $38 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The decline in net interest expense is a result of lower average outstanding debt balances and a lower weighted average interest rate due to the Company’s deleveraging strategy and increased interest income of $1,084 related to the settlement of a judicial claim involving the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary. The weighted average interest rate of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations declined from 4.2% for September 2012 quarter to 3.5% for the September 2013 quarter.
Consolidated Earnings from Unconsolidated Affiliates
For the September 2013 quarter, the Company generated $14,370 of income before income taxes, of which $6,123 was generated from its investments in unconsolidated affiliates. The Company’s 34% share of PAL’s earnings increased from $42 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 to $5,915 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 primarily due to increased sales volumes, improved operating margins and an increase in the benefits recognized from the EAP cotton rebate program. The remaining change in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates relates primarily to the decrease in operating results of UNF and UNF America, which was primarily driven by lower gross margins partially attributable to lower average sales prices.
Consolidated Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended September 29, 2013 resulted in tax expense of $5,751, with an effective tax rate of 40.0%. The Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended September 23, 2012 resulted in tax expense of $3,233, with an effective tax rate of 61.1%. The effective income tax rate for each of the periods is higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to foreign dividends taxed in the U.S., the timing of the Company’s recognition of higher taxable versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate for which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance and losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized.
Consolidated Net Income Attributable to Unifi, Inc.
Net income attributable to Unifi, Inc. for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $8,870, or $0.46 per basic share, compared to $2,294, or $0.11 per basic share, for the prior year fiscal quarter. As discussed above, the Company’s increased profitability was primarily due to higher earnings from its equity affiliates, improved margins, lower SG&A expenses, and lower net interest expense partially offset by restructuring charges and higher income tax expense.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management continuously reviews several key indicators to assess performance of the Company’s business and measure its success, as discussed in detail in the 2013 Form 10-K. These include the following Non-GAAP financial measures:
● |
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), which represents net income or loss attributable to Unifi, Inc. before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense; |
● |
Adjusted EBITDA including equity affiliates, which represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expense, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and certain other adjustments. Such other adjustments include operating expenses for Repreve Renewables, restructuring charges and start-up costs, gains or losses on sales or disposals of property, plant and equipment, currency and derivative gains or losses, certain employee healthcare expenses, and other operating or non-operating income or expense items necessary to understand and compare the underlying results of the Company; |
● |
Adjusted EBITDA, which represents Adjusted EBITDA including equity affiliates adjusted to exclude equity in earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates. The Company may, from time to time, change the items included within Adjusted EBITDA; |
● |
Segment Adjusted Profit, which equals segment gross profit, plus segment depreciation and amortization, less segment SG&A, net of segment other adjustments; and |
● |
Adjusted Working Capital (receivables plus inventory, less accounts payable and certain accrued expenses), which is an indicator of the Company’s production efficiency and ability to manage its inventory and receivables. |
Management uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA including equity affiliates, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Working Capital to facilitate its analysis and understanding of the Company’s business operations. Management believes these measures are useful to investors because they provide a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance and debt service capacity of the Company. The calculations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA including equity affiliates, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Working Capital are subjective measures based on management’s belief as to which items should be included or excluded in order to provide the most reasonable view of the underlying operating performance of the business. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA including equity affiliates, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Working Capital are not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered a substitute for performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Summary
The Company’s primary liquidity requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and stock repurchases. The Company’s primary sources of capital to meet these requirements are cash generated from operations and borrowings available under its ABL Revolver. The Company currently believes that its existing cash balances, cash provided by operating activities, and borrowings available under the ABL Revolver will enable the Company to comply with the terms of its indebtedness and meet its foreseeable liquidity requirements, both domestically and for its foreign operations. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, cash generated from operations was $9,310, and at September 29, 2013, excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $38,968.
As of September 29, 2013, all of the Company’s debt obligations, with the exception of a term loan from one of the Company’s unconsolidated affiliates, were guaranteed by its domestic subsidiaries, while a substantial portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by its foreign subsidiaries. For the Company’s U.S., Brazilian and other foreign subsidiaries, the following table presents a summary of cash and cash equivalents, liquidity, working capital and total debt obligations as of September 29, 2013:

As of September 29, 2013, all cash and cash equivalents on-hand at the Company’s foreign operations were deemed to be permanently reinvested. The Company has plans to repatriate $21,297 of future cash flows generated from its operations in Brazil and has a deferred tax liability of $7,454 to reflect the additional income tax that would be due as a result of these plans. As of September 29, 2013, $62,989 of undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries was deemed to be permanently reinvested, and any applicable U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on these earnings.

(1) |
Excludes accrued interest |
Working capital increased from $161,885 as of June 30, 2013 to $168,853 as of September 29, 2013. The Company’s Adjusted Working Capital metric increased due to an increase in inventories and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by a decrease in receivables. The increase in inventory is due to an increase of on-hand units for the U.S. and Brazilian operations. The decrease in accounts payable is a result of purchasing activity and the timing of vendor payments. The decrease in accrued expenses is primarily due to the payment of previously accrued fiscal year 2013 variable compensation and property taxes during the September 2013 quarter, partially offset by an increase in accrued wages and salaries due to timing. The decrease in accounts receivable is a result of lower sales.
Capital Expenditures
In addition to its normal working capital requirements, the Company requires cash to fund capital expenditures. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company spent $5,691 on capital expenditures and estimates its annual capital expenditure requirements to be approximately $17,000 for the full fiscal year. The current year’s capital expenditures are expected to be focused primarily on improving the Company’s manufacturing flexibility and capabilities to produce PVA products, increasing the capacity of its recycling facility, and increasing the capacity, flexibility and efficiency of its Yadkinville texturing facility. $6,000 to $8,000 of the estimated annual capital expenditures is expected to be used for maintenance capital expenditures which will extend the useful life of assets and/or increase the capabilities or production capacity of existing assets. The Company may incur additional capital expenditures as it pursues new opportunities to expand its production capabilities or to further streamline its manufacturing processes.
Debt Obligations
The following table presents the balances outstanding for the Company’s debt obligations, their scheduled maturity dates and the weighted average interest rate for borrowings (including the effects of an interest rate swap) as well as the applicable current portion of long-term debt:

Other than the scheduled maturities of debt required under its existing debt obligations, the Company may, from time to time, elect to repay additional amounts borrowed under the ABL Facility. These optional repayments of debt may come from the operating cash flows of the business or other sources and will depend upon the Company’s strategy, prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. Further discussion of the terms and conditions of the Company’s existing indebtedness is outlined in “Note 11. Long-Term Debt” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Stock Repurchase Program
Under its Board-approved stock repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $50,000 worth of its common stock through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in such manner and at such times and prices as are determined by management, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. The repurchase program has no stated expiration or termination date; there is no time limit or specific time frame otherwise for repurchases; and the Company may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not beneficial or advisable. Since inception of the repurchase program in January 2013, the Company has repurchased 1,494 shares at an average cost per share of $19.53.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities consists of the following:

Other receipts include the refund for a judicial deposit of $1,805 and related interest income of $1,084 made to the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary due to the settlement of a judicial claim and other interest income and miscellaneous items. The decrease in payments to suppliers and other operating costs is primarily a result of lower volumes in the International Segment. The increase in payments for salaries, wages and benefits is primarily due to inflationary increases and higher variable compensation offset by savings related to the termination of employment of two former executive officers. Payments for restructuring relate to the relocation of certain machinery in the U.S. and El Salvador and severance payments to two former executive officers. The decline in payments for interest was due to both a lower average outstanding debt balance and a lower weighted average interest rate.
Cash Used in Investing Activities and Financing Activities
The Company utilized $5,341 for net investing activities and utilized $2,495 for net financing activities during the quarter ended September 29, 2013. Significant expenditures for investing activities include $5,691 for capital expenditures which primarily relate to increasing the capacity, flexibility and efficiency of the Company’s Yadkinville texturing facility. Significant financing activities include cash payments of $5,768 for the repurchases of Company stock, $400 for net cash payments on the ABL Facility and $2,373 of proceeds received from stock option exercises.
Contractual Obligations
The Company has assumed various financial obligations and commitments in the normal course of its operations and financing activities. Financial obligations are considered to represent known future cash payments that the Company is required to make under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements. As of September 29, 2013, there have been no material changes in the scheduled maturities of the Company’s contractual obligations as disclosed in the table under the heading “Contractual Obligations” in the 2013 Form 10-K.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company 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 the Company’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. The Company’s critical accounting policies are discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the 2013 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these policies during the current period.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates, fluctuation in currency exchange rates and raw material and commodity risks, which may adversely affect its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, nor is it a party to any leveraged financial instruments.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through its borrowing activities. The Company has borrowings under its ABL Revolver and ABL Term Loan that total $94,900 and contain variable rates of interest; however, the Company hedges a significant portion of this interest rate variability using an interest rate swap. As of September 29, 2013, after considering the variable rate debt obligations that have been hedged and the Company’s outstanding debt obligations with fixed rates of interest, the Company’s sensitivity analysis shows that a 50-basis point increase in LIBOR as of September 29, 2013 would result in an increase of $75 in annual cash interest expense.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Company conducts its business in various foreign countries and in various foreign currencies. Each of the Company’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 the Company to foreign currency exchange risk. The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge this exposure. For sales transactions, the Company typically hedges 50% to 75% of the sales value of these orders by using forward currency contracts. The maturity dates of the forward currency contracts are intended to match the anticipated collection dates of the receivables. As of September 29, 2013, the latest maturity date for outstanding forward currency contracts is in November 2013. The Company may also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure for certain equipment or inventory purchase commitments. As of September 29, 2013, the Company does not have a significant amount of exposure related to any foreign currency forward contracts.
As of September 29, 2013, the Company’s subsidiaries outside the U.S., whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, held approximately 19% of the Company’s consolidated total assets. The Company does not enter into foreign currency derivatives to hedge its net investment in its foreign operations.
As of September 29, 2013, $9,897 of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S., of which approximately $1,888 were held in U.S. dollar equivalents.
More information regarding the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of September 29, 2013 is provided in “Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Raw Material and Commodity Risks
A significant portion of the Company’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. The Company does not use financial instruments to hedge its exposure to changes in these costs. The costs of the primary raw materials that the Company uses throughout all of its operations are generally based on U.S. dollar 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
The Company 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
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of September 29, 2013, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 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 the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2014, there has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business, to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is the subject.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
There are no material changes to the Company's risk factors set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2013 Form 10-K.
Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Items 2(a) and (b) are not applicable.
(c) The following table summarizes the Company’s purchases of its common stock during the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2013, all of which purchases were made under the stock repurchase program approved by the Board on January 22, 2013 in which the Company is authorized to acquire up to $50,000 worth of common stock. The repurchase program has no stated expiration or termination date, and there is no time limit or specific time frame for repurchases.
