Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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, 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, beamed and draw wound yarns; each is available in virgin or recycled varieties (the latter 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 textile industry’s most comprehensive yarn product offerings, and has ten manufacturing operations in four countries and participates in joint ventures in Israel and the United States (“U.S.”). The Company’s principal geographic markets for its products 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 in 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 29, 2014 (the “2014 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 29, 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheet data contained herein was derived from the 2014 Form 10-K, but does not include all annual disclosures required by GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts and disclosures. Actual results may vary from such estimates.

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

Fiscal Year

The Company’s current fiscal quarter ended on March 29, 2015, the last Sunday in March. The Company’s Brazilian, Colombian and Chinese subsidiaries’ fiscal quarter ended on March 31, 2015 and there were no significant transactions or events that occurred between the Company’s fiscal quarter end and its subsidiaries’ fiscal quarter end. The three months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 each consisted of thirteen fiscal weeks. The nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 each consisted of thirty-nine fiscal weeks.

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.

4.	Acquisition

Acquisition of Draw Winding Business from Dillon Yarn Corporation

On December 2, 2013, the Company acquired certain draw winding assets and the associated business from American Drawtech Company, Inc. (“ADC”), a division of Dillon Yarn Corporation (“Dillon”), pursuant to the exercise of an option granted to the Company under the terms of a commissioning agreement with Dillon, for $2,934, which included accounts payable and an accrued contingent liability. The assets acquired include Dillon’s draw winding inventory and production machinery and equipment. This acquisition increased the Company’s polyester production capacity and has allowed the Company to expand its presence in targeted industrial, belting, hose and thread markets by increasing its product offerings to include mid-tenacity flat yarns. At the time of the acquisition, Mr. Mitchel Weinberger was a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and was also Dillon’s President and Chief Operating Officer and an Executive Vice President and a director of ADC.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company concluded that the acquisition did not represent a material business combination. The fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration transferred are as follows:

Assets:
Inventory	$	434
Machinery and equipment		835
Customer list		1,615
Non-compete agreement		50
Total assets	$	2,934

Liabilities:
Accounts payable	$	434
Contingent consideration		2,500
Total liabilities	$	2,934

The contingent consideration liability represented the present value of the expected future payments due to Dillon over the five-year period following the acquisition date. The payments due are equal to one-half of the operating profit of the draw winding business, as calculated using an agreed-upon definition. The assumptions used in estimating the contingent consideration liability were based on inputs not observable in the market and represent Level 3 fair value measurements. These estimates are reviewed quarterly and any adjustment is recorded through operating income.

See “Note 9. Intangible Assets, Net” for further discussion of the customer list and non-compete agreement.

See “Note 17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities” for further discussion of the recurring measurement of the contingent consideration.

5.	Receivables, Net

Receivables, net consists of the following:

	March 29, 2015			June 29, 2014
Customer receivables	$	90,072		$	95,270
Allowance for uncollectible accounts		(1,282	)		(1,035	)
Reserves for yarn quality claims		(675	)		(618	)
Net customer receivables		88,115			93,617
Related party receivables		72			17
Other receivables		305			291
Total receivables, net	$	88,492		$	93,925

Other receivables consist primarily of receivables for duty drawback, healthcare claim reimbursement, interest and refunds from vendors.

The changes in the Company’s allowance for uncollectible accounts and reserves for yarn quality claims were as follows:

	Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts			Reserves for Yarn Quality Claims
Balance at June 29, 2014	$	(1,035	)	$	(618	)
Charged to costs and expenses		(654	)		(973	)
Charged to other accounts		264			31
Deductions		143			885
Balance at March 29, 2015	$	(1,282	)	$	(675	)

Amounts charged to costs and expenses for the allowance for uncollectible accounts are reflected in the provision for bad debts and 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 and 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.

Assets held for sale		761		—
Other		86		610
Total other current assets	$	5,362	$	6,052

Prepaid expenses consist of advance payments for insurance, professional fees, membership dues, subscriptions, non-income related tax payments, marketing and information technology services.

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 amortized through December 2019, in a manner which reflects the expected economic benefit that will be received over its thirteen-year life. The non-compete agreement is amortized through December 2017, using the straight-line method over the period currently covered by the agreement. The amortization expense is included within the Polyester Segment’s depreciation and amortization expense.

On December 2, 2013, the Company acquired certain draw winding assets and the associated business from Dillon, as described in “Note 4. Acquisition.” A customer list and a non-compete agreement were recorded in connection with the business combination, utilizing similar valuation methods as described above for the fiscal year 2007 transaction. The customer list is amortized over a nine-year estimated useful life based on the expected economic benefit. The non-compete agreement is amortized using the straight-line method over the five-year term of the agreement. The amortization expense is included within the Polyester Segment’s depreciation and amortization expense.

During fiscal year 2012, the Company acquired a controlling interest (and continues to hold such 60% membership interest) in Repreve Renewables, LLC (“Renewables”), a development stage enterprise formed to cultivate, grow and sell dedicated energy crops, including biomass intended for use as a feedstock in the production of energy and potential applications for animal bedding. The non-compete agreement for Renewables is amortized using the straight-line method over the five-year term of the agreement. The licenses for Renewables are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of four to eight years.

The Company capitalizes expenses incurred to register trademarks for REPREVE® and other PVA products in various countries. The Company has determined that these trademarks have varying useful lives of up to three years and are being amortized using the straight-line method.

(3)

Interest rates for capital lease obligations range from 2.3% to 4.6%.

On March 26, 2015, the Company and its subsidiary, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) for a $200,000 senior secured credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders. The ABL Facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolver”) and an $84,375 term loan that can be reset up to a maximum amount of $100,000 if certain future conditions are met (the “ABL Term Loan”). The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020. The Company paid $750 to the lenders in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Amended Credit Agreement replaced a previous senior secured credit facility dated May 24, 2012 with a similar syndicate of lenders, which, after multiple amendments, would have matured on March 28, 2019 and consisted of a $100,000 revolving credit facility and a $90,000 term loan. As used herein, the terms “ABL Facility,” “ABL Revolver” and “ABL Term Loan” shall mean the senior secured credit facility, the revolving credit facility or the term loan, respectively, under the Amended Credit Agreement or the previous senior secured credit facility, as applicable.

ABL Facility

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

The Amended 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. If excess availability under the ABL Revolver falls below the defined Trigger Level, a financial covenant requiring the Loan Parties to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.0 becomes effective. The Trigger Level as of March 29, 2015 was $23,047. In addition, the ABL Facility contains restrictions on certain payments and investments, including restrictions on the payment of dividends and share repurchases. 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.

ABL Facility borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 0.50% to 1.00%, with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. 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%. 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. There is also a monthly unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25%.

The ABL Term Loan is subject to (i) quarterly amortizing payments of $2,250 beginning April 1, 2015 and (ii) principal increases, at the Company’s discretion, resetting the loan balance up to a maximum amount of $100,000, once per fiscal year upon satisfaction of certain conditions, beginning October 1, 2015.

As of March 29, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants; the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $67,767; the fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.0 to 1.0; and the Company had $235 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 under which it borrowed $1,250 from the Company’s unconsolidated affiliate, U.N.F. Industries Ltd. The loan does not amortize and bears interest at 3%, payable semi-annually. The entire principal balance is due August 30, 2015, the maturity date.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Entering into the Amended Credit Agreement generated substantially different terms for the ABL Term Loan and resulted in the replacement of an existing lender. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,040 for the write-off of certain debt financing fees related to the previous credit agreement.

13.	Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities consists of the following:

	March 29, 2015		June 29, 2014
Supplemental post-employment plan	$	3,538	$	3,173
Contingent consideration		1,608		2,026
Uncertain tax positions		934		1,101
Interest rate swap		344		363
Other		1,674		886
Total other long-term liabilities	$	8,098	$	7,549

The Company maintains an unfunded supplemental post-employment plan for certain management employees. Each employee’s account is credited annually based upon a percentage of the participant’s 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 employment. Expenses recorded for this plan for the three months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 were $32 and $104, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 were $365 and $624, respectively.

Contingent consideration represents the present value of the long-term portion of contingent payments associated with the Company’s December 2013 acquisition of Dillon’s draw winding business, described in “Note 4. Acquisition” and “Note 17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities.”

Other primarily includes certain retiree and post-employment medical and disability liabilities and deferred incentives.

14.	Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months and nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 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 course of the fiscal year by the mix and timing of actual earnings from our U.S. 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 three months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 resulted in tax expense of $2,729 and $4,476, respectively, with an effective tax rate of 21.9% and 50.1%, respectively. The Company’s income tax provision for the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 resulted in tax expense of $10,083 and $14,151, respectively, with an effective tax rate of 28.3% and 42.3%, respectively.

The effective income tax rate for the current quarter and year-to-date period is lower than the U.S. statutory rate due to (i) the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate, (ii) a lower overall effective tax rate for the Company’s foreign earnings, (iii) renewable energy credits and (iv) the domestic production activities deduction, partially offset by (v) state and local taxes and (vi) losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized.

The effective income tax rate for the prior year periods is higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to (i) the impact of state and local taxes, (ii) the recognition of higher taxable versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate for which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance, (iii) foreign dividends taxed in the U.S. and (iv) losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized.

As of March 29, 2015, the Company’s valuation allowance was $17,355 and includes $13,599 for reserves against certain domestic deferred tax assets primarily related to equity investments and foreign tax credits, as well as $3,756 for reserves against certain deferred tax assets of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards and equity investments. The Company’s valuation allowance as of June 29, 2014 was $18,615. The decrease in the valuation allowance during the nine month period ended March 29, 2015 is attributable to the timing of the Company’s recognition of lower taxable versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate.

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions since June 29, 2014. 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.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

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 2011 through 2014, for foreign income taxes for tax years 2008 through 2014, and for state and local income taxes for tax years 2009 through 2014. The U.S. federal tax returns and state tax returns filed for the 2011 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.

15.

Shareholders’ Equity

During fiscal year 2014, the Company completed its repurchase of shares under its $50,000 stock repurchase program that had been approved by the Board on January 22, 2013 (the “2013 SRP”). On April 23, 2014, the Board approved a new stock repurchase program (the “2014 SRP”) to acquire up to an additional $50,000 of the Company’s common stock. Under the 2014 SRP (as was the case under the 2013 SRP), the Company has been authorized to repurchase shares at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at such times and prices and in such manner as determined by management, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. Repurchases, if any, are expected to be financed through cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Company’s ABL Revolver, and are subject to applicable limitations and restrictions as set forth in the ABL Facility. The 2014 SRP has no stated expiration or termination date, and there is no time limit or specific time frame otherwise for repurchases. 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 under the 2013 SRP and the 2014 SRP.

	Total Number of Shares Repurchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs		Average Price Paid per Share		Maximum Approximate Dollar Value that May Yet Be Repurchased Under the 2014 SRP
Fiscal year 2013		1,068	$	18.08
Fiscal year 2014		1,524	$	23.96
Fiscal year 2015 (through March 29, 2015)		149	$	28.00
Total		2,741	$	21.89	$	40,011

All repurchased shares have been retired and have the status of authorized and unissued shares. The cost of the repurchased shares is recorded as a reduction to common stock to the extent of the par value of the shares acquired and the remainder is allocated between capital in excess of par value and retained earnings. The portion of the remainder that is allocated to capital in excess of par value is limited to a pro rata portion of capital in excess of par value.

No dividends were paid during the nine months ended March 29, 2015 or in the previous two fiscal years.

16.

Stock-based Compensation

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 Unifi, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2008 LTIP”). No additional awards will be granted under the 2008 LTIP; however, prior awards 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.

Stock options

During the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the Company granted stock options to purchase 150 and 97 shares of common stock, respectively, to certain key employees. The stock options vest ratably over the required three-year service period and have ten-year contractual terms. For the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the weighted average exercise price of the options was $27.38 and $22.31 per share, respectively. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the weighted average grant date fair value of $17.31 and $14.66 per share, respectively.

For options granted, the valuation models used the following assumptions:

	For the Nine Months Ended
	March 29, 2015			March 30, 2014
Expected term (years)		7.3			7.4
Risk-free interest rate		2.2	%		2.1	%
Volatility		62.6	%		65.9	%
Dividend yield		—			—

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected term and volatility. 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.

A summary of stock option activity for the nine months ended March 29, 2015 is as follows:

	Stock Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at June 29, 2014		800		$	9.77
Granted		150		$	27.38

Exercisable at March 29, 2015		691		$	8.61		4.8	$	18,755

As of March 29, 2015, all options subject to a market condition were vested. During the quarter ended March 29, 2015, 10 options subject to a market condition vested when the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was at least $30 per share for thirty consecutive trading days.

At March 29, 2015, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $1,762, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

For the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $91, and $12,826, respectively. The amount of cash received from the exercise of options was $41 and $3,056 and the tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $35 and $4,930 for the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, respectively.

Restricted stock units

During the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the Company granted 17 and 25 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, to the Company’s non-employee directors. The director RSUs became fully vested on the grant date. The director RSUs convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company stock until such director RSUs have been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company stock. The vested director RSUs will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Company common stock and distributed to the grantee following the grantee’s termination of service as a member of the Board. The grantee may elect to defer receipt of the shares of stock in accordance with the deferral options provided under the Unifi, Inc. Director Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company estimated the fair value of such awards granted during the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 to be $28.58 and $23.23 per director RSU, respectively.

During July 2013, the Company granted 22 RSUs to certain key employees. The employee RSUs are subject to a vesting restriction and convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company stock until such employee RSUs have vested and been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company stock. The employee RSUs vest over a three-year period, and will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of stock (for distribution to the grantee) on each vesting date, unless the grantee has elected 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 employee 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 such awards granted to be $22.08 per employee RSU.

The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the award grant date.

Financial Instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts or interest rate swaps to reduce its ongoing business exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

Foreign currency forward contracts

The Company may enter 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. Foreign currency forward contracts 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. As of March 29, 2015, there were no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

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 LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings under the Company’s ABL Facility. It increased to $85,000 in May 2013 (when certain other interest rate swaps terminated) and has decreased $5,000 per quarter since August 2013 to the current notional balance of $50,000 at March 29, 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 the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. For the year-to-date periods ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the Company reclassified pre-tax unrealized losses of $212 and $433, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense. The Company has recognized a pre-tax mark-to-market gain of $19 and $107 within interest expense for the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, respectively, related to this interest rate swap. See “Note 18. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” for further discussion of the reclassifications of unrealized losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Contingent consideration

On December 2, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets in a business combination with Dillon and recorded a contingent consideration liability, as described in “Note 4. Acquisition.” The fair value of the contingent consideration is measured at each reporting period using a discounted cash flow methodology based on inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 classification in the fair value hierarchy). The inputs to the discounted cash flow model include the estimated payments through the term of the agreement based on an agreed-upon definition and schedule, adjusted to risk-neutral estimates using a market price of risk factor which considers relevant metrics of comparable entities, discounted using an observable cost of debt over the term of the estimated payments. Any change in the fair value from either the passage of time or events occurring after the acquisition date is recorded in other operating expense, net. A fiscal year 2015 decline in actual sales volume versus forecasted sales volume for the draw winding business has been considered in reflecting a slight decrease in expected future contingent payments, while no other inputs and assumptions used to develop the fair value measurement have changed since the acquisition date.

A reconciliation of the changes in the fair value follows:

Contingent consideration as of June 29, 2014	$	2,563
Change in fair value		21
Payments		(406	)
Contingent consideration as of March 29, 2015	$	2,178

Based on the present value of the expected future payments, $570 is reflected in accrued expenses and $1,608 is reflected in other long-term liabilities.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy used to measure these items are as follows:

As of March 29, 2015	Notional Amount			USD Equivalent		Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair Value
Foreign currency contracts	EUR		—	$	—	Other current assets	Level 2	$	—
Interest rate swap	USD	$	50,000	$	50,000	Other long-term liabilities	Level 2	$	344

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

Estimates for the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps are derived from month-end market quotes for contracts with similar terms.

The effect of marked to market hedging derivative instruments was as follows:

		For the Three Months Ended
Derivatives not designated as hedges	Classification	March 29, 2015		March 30, 2014
Foreign currency contracts	Other operating expense, net	$	—	$	3
Interest rate swap	Interest expense		227		(99	)
Total loss (gain) recognized in income		$	227	$	(96	)

		For the Nine Months Ended
Derivatives not designated as hedges	Classification	March 29, 2015			March 30, 2014
Foreign currency contracts	Other operating expense, net	$	7		$	(19	)
Interest rate swap	Interest expense		(19	)		(107	)
Total gain recognized in income		$	(12	)	$	(126	)

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.

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 its debt obligations approximate the carrying amounts. Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value due to their short-term nature.

There were no transfers into or out of the levels of the fair value hierarchy for the nine months ended March 29, 2015.

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.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

The calculation of earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of the Company’s common shares outstanding for the applicable period. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share presents the effect of all potential dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the respective period, unless the effect of doing so is anti-dilutive. Common share equivalents where the exercise price is above the average market price are excluded in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share.

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 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 16 manufacturing facilities located primarily in the southeast region of the U.S. and in Mexico. According to its most recently issued audited financial statements, PAL’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 76% of total revenues and 78% of total gross accounts receivable outstanding. As PAL’s fiscal year end is the Saturday nearest to December 31 and its results are considered significant, the Company files an amendment to each Annual Report on Form 10-K on or before 90 days subsequent to PAL’s fiscal year end to provide PAL’s audited financial statements for PAL’s most recent fiscal year. The Company filed an amendment to its 2014 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2014 on April 2, 2015 to provide PAL’s audited financial statements for PAL’s fiscal year ended January 3, 2015. The Company expects to file an amendment to its upcoming Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2015 on or before April 1, 2016 to provide PAL’s audited financial statements for PAL’s fiscal year ending January 2, 2016.

The federal government maintains a program providing economic adjustment assistance to domestic users of upland cotton (the “EAP program”). The EAP 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 provides a subsidy of up to three cents per pound. In February 2014, the federal government extended the EAP program for five years. The cotton subsidy will remain at three cents per pound for the life of the program. PAL recognizes its share of 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.

PAL is subject to price risk related to anticipated fixed-price yarn sales. To protect the gross margin of these sales, PAL may enter into cotton futures to manage changes in raw material prices in order to protect the gross margin of fixed-priced yarn sales. The derivative instruments used are listed and traded on an exchange and are thus valued using quoted prices classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. As of March 2015, PAL had no futures contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

As of March 29, 2015, the Company’s investment in PAL was $105,962 and is reflected 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:

Underlying equity as of March 29, 2015	$	124,317
Initial excess capital contributions		53,363
Impairment charge recorded by the Company in 2007		(74,106	)
Anti-trust lawsuit against PAL in which the Company did not participate		2,652
EAP adjustments		(264	)
Investment as of March 29, 2015	$	105,962

On August 28, 2014, PAL acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in a yarn manufacturer based in Mexico in which PAL was historically a 50% member. The acquisition increases PAL’s regional manufacturing capacity and expands its product offerings and customer base. PAL accounted for the transaction as a business combination under the acquisition method, recognizing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company and PAL concluded that the acquisition did not represent a material business combination. PAL recognized an after-tax gain of $4,430 and recorded acquired net assets of $23,644.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

On February 27, 2015, PAL purchased two manufacturing facilities, plus inventory, for approximately $13,000 cash, and entered into a yarn supply agreement with the seller. PAL has accounted for the transaction as a business combination under the acquisition method, recognizing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective provisional fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company and PAL concluded that the acquisition did not represent a material business combination. PAL has recognized provisional amounts in its initial accounting for the acquisition for all identified assets and liabilities. The Company and PAL will continue to review the acquisition accounting during the measurement period, and if new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date identifies adjustments to the assets or liabilities initially recognized, as well as any additional assets or liabilities that existed at the acquisition date, the acquisition accounting will be revised to reflect the resulting adjustments to the provisional amounts. The acquisition accounting is incomplete, primarily pending asset valuations.

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. 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. 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.

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 March 29, 2015, the Company’s open purchase orders related to this agreement were $4,594.

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

	For the Nine Months Ended
	March 29, 2015		March 30, 2014
UNF	$	2,578	$	8,177
UNF America		21,798		18,065
Total	$	24,376	$	26,242

As of March 29, 2015 and June 29, 2014, the Company had combined accounts payable due to UNF and UNF America of $3,658 and $3,966, 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, the two entities’ balance sheets constitute 3% or less of the Company’s current assets, total assets and total liabilities, and such balances are not expected to comprise a larger portion in the future, the Company has not included the accounts of UNF and UNF America in its consolidated financial statements. As of March 29, 2015, the Company’s combined investments in UNF and UNF America were $4,192 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.

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. For the nine months ended March 29, 2015, PAL’s corresponding fiscal period consisted of 40 weeks.

Commitments and Contingencies

Collective Bargaining Agreements

While employees of the Company’s Brazilian operations are unionized, none of the labor force employed by the Company’s domestic or other foreign subsidiaries 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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

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 selling, general and administrative (“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 March 2015 quarter decreased by $6,334, or 3.6%, as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in net sales was primarily driven by (i) devaluation of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar, (ii) a net decrease in sales volumes in the Polyester Segment and (iii) a decrease in average sales price for the Polyester and Nylon Segments. These decreases were partially offset by (iv) increased sales volumes in the Nylon and International Segments and (v) improvement in average selling price for the International Segment.

Consolidated sales volumes increased 0.5% from the prior year quarter due to volume increases in the Nylon and International Segments, partially offset by a net decrease in the Polyester Segment. The decrease in sales volume in the Polyester Segment of 3.6% was primarily due to lower sales of certain products in the Company’s domestic operations (POY, Chip and dyed yarns), partially offset by higher sales of (a) textured polyester due to growth in demand in the NAFTA and CAFTA regions and (b) our PVA yarns. The volume increase in the Nylon Segment of 14.4% was attributable to increased sales of textured polyester driven by the same market factors previously discussed. The volume increase in the International Segment of 5.4% was primarily due to (i) mix enrichment efforts in Brazil and China, including the Company’s transitioning of certain PVA sales programs from its U.S. operations to China, and (ii) a favorable competitive environment in Brazil for sales of certain of our manufactured products there versus imported yarns due to the weakened currency.

Consolidated sales pricing decreased 4.1% from the prior year quarter primarily due to (i) devaluation of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar, (ii) a lower average sales price in the Polyester Segment related to declining raw material costs, and (iii) a lower average sales price in the Nylon Segment primarily due to changes in sales mix, partially offset by (iv) a higher average sales price in China due to the Company’s transitioning of certain PVA sales programs from the U.S. to China.

Consolidated Gross Profit

Gross profit for the March 2015 quarter increased by $2,504, or 12.7%. Gross profit increased due to (i) improved margins in the Polyester and International Segments as a result of mix enrichment initiatives and a decline in polyester raw material costs, (ii) increased volumes in the Nylon and International Segments, (iii) improved volume and margins in Brazil (on a local-currency basis) and (iv) lower manufacturing costs in Brazil due to lower net utility costs, partially offset by (v) unfavorable currency translation in Brazil and (vi) higher converting costs in the Nylon Segment.

Polyester Segment

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:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2015				March 30, 2014
			% of Net Sales				% of Net Sales		% Change
Net sales	$	98,759		100.0	$	103,941		100.0		(5.0	)
Cost of sales		85,734		86.8		92,928		89.4		(7.7	)
Gross profit	$	13,025		13.2	$	11,013		10.6		18.3

A reconciliation of the changes in net sales from the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 for the Polyester Segment is as follows:

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014	$	103,941
Decrease in sales volumes		(2,755	)
Decrease in average pricing		(2,427	)
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015	$	98,759

The overall decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to (i) lower volumes from lower POY, Chip and dyed yarn sales and a lower average denier and (ii) lower average selling price related to declining raw material costs, partially offset by (iii) higher textured polyester sales. Textured polyester sales volumes for the Polyester Segment increased 3.8% over the prior year quarter due to continued growth in the NAFTA and CAFTA regions along with greater demand for the Company’s PVA yarns. The production of synthetic apparel in the North and Central America regions continues to grow at an average of 5% to 6% annually, as more brands and retailers are choosing to source their products in the Western Hemisphere. The Company anticipates this trend will continue into the foreseeable future.

A reconciliation of the changes in gross profit from the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 for the Polyester Segment is as follows:

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014	$	11,013
Net improvement in underlying gross margins		2,667
Decrease in sales volumes		(395	)
Increase in depreciation expense		(260	)
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015	$	13,025

The increase in gross profit was primarily a result of (i) higher underlying gross margins driven by mix enrichment initiatives and (ii) improved conversion margins, attributable to declining raw material costs, partially offset by (iii) a decrease in sales volumes due to the factors described in the net sales analysis above, and (iv) higher depreciation expense due to the recent recycling center addition and incremental fixed assets driving expanded flexibility and capacity.

Polyester Segment net sales and gross profit as a percentage of total consolidated amounts were 57.9% and 58.5% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, compared to 58.8% and 55.7% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, respectively.

Nylon Segment

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 Nylon Segment are as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2015				March 30, 2014
			% of Net Sales				% of Net Sales		% Change
Net sales	$	40,754		100.0	$	39,208		100.0		3.9
Cost of sales		36,530		89.6		34,168		87.1		6.9
Gross profit	$	4,224		10.4	$	5,040		12.9		(16.2	)

A reconciliation of the changes in net sales from the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 for the Nylon Segment is as follows:

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014	$	39,208
Increase in sales volumes		2,085
Decrease in average pricing and change in sales mix		(539	)
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015	$	40,754

The increase in net sales was attributable to (i) an increase in sales volumes, primarily for textured polyester yarn, partially offset by (ii) a decrease in pricing due to varying sales mix changes among domestic product-lines, reflecting a higher proportion of textured yarns and a lower percentage of covered yarns and a transition of certain higher-margin PVA sales from the U.S. to China. The increase in textured yarn sales is driven by increased demand for textured yarn in the North and Central American regions.

A reconciliation of the changes in gross profit from the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 for the Nylon Segment is as follows:

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014	$	5,040
Decline in underlying gross margins		(888	)
Increase in depreciation expense		(11	)
Increase in sales volumes		83
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015	$	4,224

The decrease in gross profit was attributable to (i) the timing of higher converting costs caused by higher labor costs resulting from a one-time bonus paid to all hourly wage personnel and recognized in the current quarter and higher maintenance and utility costs in our domestic covering operations, (ii) lower yields and (iii) lower margins due to transitioning certain high-margin PVA sales from the U.S. to our Chinese subsidiary, partially offset by (iv) an increase in sales volumes and unit margins for the Segment's textured products.

Nylon Segment net sales and gross profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 23.9% and 19.0% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, compared to 22.2% and 25.5% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, respectively.

International Segment

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 International Segment are as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2015				March 30, 2014
			% of Net Sales				% of Net Sales		% Change
Net sales	$	31,017		100.0	$	33,715		100.0		(8.0	)
Cost of sales		26,003		83.8		30,009		89.0		(13.3	)
Gross profit	$	5,014		16.2	$	3,706		11.0		35.3

A reconciliation of the changes in net sales from the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 for the International Segment is as follows:

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014	$	33,715
Unfavorable currency translation effects		(4,988	)
Increase in sales volumes		1,684
Improvement in average pricing and change in sales mix		606
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015	$	31,017

The decrease in net sales is primarily attributable to (i) unfavorable currency translation effects due to the devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar (using a weighted average exchange rate of 2.87 Real/U.S. Dollar versus 2.36), partially offset by (ii) a 5.4% increase in sales volumes, resulting from an increase in Brazil’s sales of manufactured products due to the factors previously discussed and an increase in sales volumes in China as a result of our success with several new programs and the Company’s transitioning of certain PVA sales programs from its U.S. operations to China, and (iii) a 13.7% increase in the average sales price in China as a result of the aforementioned U.S. to China PVA product transitioning, which in turn was partially offset by (iv) price decreases due to declining raw material costs.

A reconciliation of the changes in gross profit from the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 for the International Segment is as follows:

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014	$	3,706
Improvement in underlying gross margins		1,069
Decrease in net utility costs		213
Decrease in depreciation expense		303
Increase in sales volumes		202
Unfavorable currency translation effects		(479	)
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015	$	5,014

The increase in gross profit was attributable to (i) improvement in underlying gross margins due to mix enrichment efforts in Brazil and China, and lower raw material costs in Brazil, (ii) lower manufacturing costs in Brazil, including lower net utility costs (which are not expected to continue into fiscal year 2016), (iii) a decrease in depreciation expense in Brazil, and (iv) an increase in sales volumes for both Brazil and China, driven by our mix enrichment efforts and a weaker exchange rate in Brazil (which allows more effective competition against imported yarn). These increases were partially offset by (v) unfavorable currency translation effects due to the devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar.

International Segment net sales and gross profit as a percentage of total consolidated amounts were 18.2% and 22.5% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, compared to 19.0% and 18.8% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, respectively.

Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

A reconciliation of the changes in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses from the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 is as follows:

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014	$	12,290
Decrease in consumer marketing and branding expenses		(479	)
Decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses		(181	)
Decrease in commissions and service fees		(155	)
Other, net		(59	)
Increase in variable compensation		844
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015	$	12,260

Total SG&A expenses were slightly lower versus the prior year quarter, with changes among various components, including (as quantified in the table above): (i) a decrease in consumer marketing and branding expenses since the prior year quarter included the Company’s sponsorship of the ESPN X Games Aspen 2014, (ii) a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses due to lower amortization of customer lists, (iii) a decrease in commissions and service fees attributable to a reduction in commission-based arrangements and (iv) a net decrease among other items, including employee costs, currency translation, insurance, and office and facilities expenses, partially offset by an increase in variable compensation due to improved operating results for the Company’s foreign operations.

Consolidated Provision for Bad Debts

Provision for bad debts decreased from $137 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to nil for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. No significant factors impacted the comparative periods.

Consolidated Other Operating Expense, Net

Other operating expense, net decreased by $267 from $1,239 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to $972 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. The decrease is primarily driven by (i) the absence of restructuring charges in the current fiscal year and (ii) a decrease in net operating expenses for Renewables due to revenue activity in the current period and (iii) a net decrease in offsetting changes among other items, including foreign currency transaction losses, gain on disposal of fixed assets and other insignificant activities.

The components of other operating expense, net are further detailed in “Note 20. Other Operating Expense, Net” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Consolidated Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense increased from $748 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to $962 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. Interest expense, net consists of the following:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2015			March 30, 2014
Interest on ABL Facility	$	866		$	785
Other		43			77
Subtotal		909			862
Reclassification adjustment for cash flow hedge		19			133
Amortization of debt financing fees		144			105
Mark-to-market adjustment for interest rate swap		227			(99	)
Interest capitalized to property, plant and equipment, net		(90	)		(39	)
Subtotal		300			100
Total interest expense		1,209			962
Interest income		(247	)		(214	)
Interest expense, net	$	962		$	748

The increase in total interest expense is primarily due to an unfavorable change in the interest rate swap mark-to-market adjustment and higher interest expense related to the ABL Facility attributable to a higher quarterly average outstanding debt balance of $105,189 versus $93,499.

Interest income in each period relates to earnings recognized on cash equivalents held globally.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Entering into the Amended Credit Agreement (as described below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt Obligations") generated substantially different terms for the ABL Term Loan and resulted in the replacement of an existing lender. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,040 for the write-off of certain debt financing fees related to the previous credit agreement.

Consolidated Earnings from Unconsolidated Affiliates

For the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company generated $12,488 of income before income taxes, of which $5,459 was generated from its investments in unconsolidated affiliates. For the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company generated $8,930 of income before income taxes, of which $3,585 was generated from its investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

The Company’s 34% share of PAL’s earnings increased from $3,230 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to $4,933 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, primarily attributable to improved operating margins as a result of improved cotton pricing. The remaining change in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates relates to higher combined operating results for the Company’s two nylon extrusion joint ventures that supply POY to the Company’s Nylon Segment.

Consolidated Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended March 29, 2015 resulted in tax expense of $2,729, with an effective tax rate of 21.9%. The Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended March 30, 2014 resulted in tax expense of $4,476, with an effective tax rate of 50.1%.

The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 29, 2015 was favorably impacted by (i) the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate, (ii) a lower overall effective tax rate for the Company’s foreign earnings, (iii) federal and state renewable energy credits and (iv) the domestic production activities deduction, partially offset by (v) state and local taxes and (vi) losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized.

The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 30, 2014 was higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to (i) the impact of state and local taxes, (ii) the recognition of higher taxable versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate for which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance, (iii) foreign dividends taxed in the U.S. and (iv) 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 third quarter of fiscal year 2015 was $10,016, or $0.55 per basic share, compared to $4,743, or $0.25 per basic share, for the prior year fiscal quarter.

As detailed above, the increase is primarily attributable to higher gross profits, higher earnings from equity affiliates and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt.

Consolidated Net Sales

Net sales for the March 2015 year-to-date period increased by $1,711, or 0.3%, as compared to the prior year comparative period. The increase was driven by higher sales volumes for the Nylon and International Segments, partially offset by (i) a decline in sales volumes for the Polyester Segment, (ii) lower pricing attributable to a change in mix in the Nylon Segment due to the transition of certain PVA sales programs from the U.S. to China, and (iii) unfavorable currency translation due to the devaluation of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar.

Consolidated sales volumes increased 2.2% from the prior year-to-date period as volumes increased 10.4% in the Nylon Segment, driven by textured polyester yarn and covered nylon yarn, and volume increased 9.7% in the International Segment, driven by higher manufactured product volume in Brazil and the success of new programs in China. A decline of 2.3% for Polyester Segment volumes resulted from a decrease related to lower POY, Chip and dyed yarn volumes and lower average denier, partially offset by an increase in textured polyester volumes.

Consolidated sales pricing declined 1.9% primarily due to (i) the devaluation of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar, (ii) lower pricing in the Nylon Segment (driven by a higher proportion of textured polyester), (iii) lower pricing in Brazil due to declining raw material costs, and (iv) slightly lower pricing for the Polyester Segment due to declining raw material costs, offset by (v) pricing improvements attributable to continued success of PVA programs.

Consolidated Gross Profit

Gross profit for the March 2015 year-to-date period increased by $8,260, or 14.2%, reflecting increases in all three reportable segments. Gross profit improvement for the Polyester Segment was primarily driven by higher margins attributable to increased demand for our PVA yarns and declining raw material costs. Gross profit increased for the Nylon Segment due to increased volume for textured and covered products as a result of strong demand from the NAFTA and CAFTA regions, partially offset by lower margins due to a shift in sales mix. Increased gross profit for the International Segment reflects (i) higher sales volumes for both Brazil and China and (ii) improved margins and lower converting costs in Brazil, partially offset by (iii) unfavorable currency translation due to the devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar.

Polyester Segment

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:

	For the Nine Months Ended
	March 29, 2015				March 30, 2014
			% of Net Sales				% of Net Sales		% Change
Net sales	$	282,168		100.0	$	286,933		100.0		(1.7	)
Cost of sales		246,149		87.2		255,763		89.1		(3.8	)
Gross profit	$	36,019		12.8	$	31,170		10.9		15.6

A reconciliation of the changes in net sales from the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014 to the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015 for the Polyester Segment is as follows:

Net sales for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014	$	286,933
Decrease in sales volumes		(4,405	)
Decrease in pricing		(1,053	)
Acquisition of draw winding business		693
Net sales for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015	$	282,168

The overall decrease in net sales is primarily attributable to (i) lower volumes from lower POY, Chip and dyed yarn sales and a lower average denier and (ii) a lower average selling price for several product lines related to declining raw material costs, partially offset by (iii) improved sales of textured polyester yarn due to continued growth in the NAFTA and CAFTA regions and greater demand for the Company’s PVA yarns and (iv) the incremental sales associated with acquiring a draw winding business in December 2013.

A reconciliation of the changes in gross profit from the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014 to the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015 for the Polyester Segment is as follows:

Gross profit for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014	$	31,170
Improvements in underlying gross margins		6,279
Decrease in sales volumes		(721	)
Increase in depreciation expense		(709	)
Gross profit for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015	$	36,019

The increase in gross profit was primarily a result of (i) higher underlying gross margins driven by (ii) an increase in demand for our PVA yarns and (iii) declining raw material costs, partially offset by (iv) a decrease in sales volumes driven by the factors described in the net sales analysis above, and (v) higher depreciation expense due to the recent recycling center addition and incremental fixed assets driving expanded flexibility and capacity.

Polyester Segment net sales and gross profit as a percentage of total consolidated amounts were 55.6% and 54.1% for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015, compared to 56.7% and 53.5% for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014, respectively.

Nylon Segment

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 Nylon Segment are as follows:

	For the Nine Months Ended
	March 29, 2015				March 30, 2014
			% of Net Sales				% of Net Sales		% Change
Net sales	$	124,676		100.0	$	118,723		100.0		5.0
Cost of sales		109,598		87.9		104,230		87.8		5.2
Gross profit	$	15,078		12.1	$	14,493		12.2		4.0

A reconciliation of the changes in net sales from the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014 to the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015 for the Nylon Segment is as follows:

Net sales for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014	$	118,723
Increase in sales volumes		7,400
Decrease in pricing and change in sales mix		(1,447	)
Net sales for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015	$	124,676

The increase in net sales is attributable to (i) increased volumes for textured polyester yarn and nylon covered yarn due to increased demand in the NAFTA and CAFTA regions, partially offset by (ii) a decrease in overall pricing for the reportable segment due to changes in sales mix which reflects a higher proportion of textured polyester yarn and the transitioning of certain PVA sales programs from the U.S. to China.

A reconciliation of the changes in gross profit from the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014 to the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015 for the Nylon Segment is as follows:

Gross profit for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014	$	14,493
Increase in sales volumes		1,534
Decrease in depreciation expense		246
Decrease in underlying gross margins		(1,195	)
Gross profit for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015	$	15,078

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to (i) an increase in sales volumes driven by the factors in the above net sales analysis and (ii) lower depreciation expense, partially offset by (iii) lower underlying gross margins related to a shift in sales mix within the reportable segment, (iv) lower yields and (v) higher converting costs due to higher labor, utility and maintenance costs.

Nylon Segment net sales and gross profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 24.5% and 22.7% for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015, compared to 23.4% and 24.9% for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014, respectively.

International Segment

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 International Segment are as follows:

	For the Nine Months Ended
	March 29, 2015				March 30, 2014
			% of Net Sales				% of Net Sales		% Change
Net sales	$	101,017		100.0	$	100,494		100.0		0.5
Cost of sales		85,613		84.8		87,916		87.5		(2.6	)
Gross profit	$	15,404		15.2	$	12,578		12.5		22.5

A reconciliation of the changes in net sales from the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014 to the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015 for the International Segment is as follows:

Net sales for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014	$	100,494
Increase in sales volumes		9,347
Unfavorable currency translation effects		(7,645	)
Decrease in pricing and change in sales mix		(1,179	)
Net sales for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015	$	101,017

The increase in net sales is primarily attributable to a 9.7% increase in sales volumes, reflecting volume increases for both Brazil and China. Brazil’s volumes have increased due to (i) growth in PVA sales and (ii) volumes captured as a result of favorable pricing conditions, as devaluation of the local currency made locally manufactured product a more attractive alternative to U.S. Dollar-based competitive imports. China’s volumes increased 34.2% and are benefiting from several new sales programs, including the transitioning of certain PVA sales programs from the Company’s U.S. operations to China. The benefit of increased sales volumes is partially offset by (i) unfavorable currency translation effects due to the devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar (using a weighted average exchange rate of 2.54 Real/U.S. Dollar versus 2.31) and (ii) lower local-currency prices in Brazil due to declining raw material prices and competitive pricing pressure in Brazil from low-priced imports. China’s average sales price increased 2.9% due to higher volumes of PVA products, partially offset by price decreases due to a decline in raw material costs.

A reconciliation of the changes in gross profit from the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014 to the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015 for the International Segment is as follows:

Gross profit for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014	$	12,578
Increase in sales volumes		1,217
Decrease in net utility costs		1,098
Other changes in underlying margins		1,050
Decrease in depreciation expense		246
Unfavorable currency translation effects		(785	)
Gross profit for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015	$	15,404

The increase in gross profit was attributable to (i) an increase in sales volumes for both Brazil and China, driven by the factors described in the net sales analysis above, (ii) improved unit conversion margin in Brazil on a local currency basis due to a higher proportion of manufactured product in the sales mix and lower raw material costs, (iii) lower manufacturing costs in Brazil as a result of lower net utility costs (which are not expected to continue into fiscal year 2016) and (iv) lower depreciation expense. This increase is partially offset by (v) unfavorable currency translation effects due to the devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar.

International Segment net sales and gross profit as a percentage of total consolidated amounts were 19.9% and 23.2% for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015, compared to 19.9% and 21.6% for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014, respectively.

Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

A reconciliation of the changes in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses from the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014 to the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015 is as follows:

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014	$	33,895
Increase in consumer marketing and branding expenses		713
Increase in variable compensation		690
Increase in non-cash compensation		371
Increase in professional fees		361
Other, net		228
Decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses		(128	)
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015	$	36,130

Total SG&A expenses were higher versus the prior year period, with changes among various components, including (as quantified in the table above): (i) an increase in consumer marketing and branding expenses resulting from new promotional agreements involving Marvel Universe LIVE!, the National Football League’s Detroit Lions and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which exceeded the prior year period expenses related to the Company’s sponsorship of the ESPN X Games Aspen 2014, (ii) an increase in variable compensation due to improved operating results for the Company’s foreign operations, (iii) an increase in non-cash compensation primarily due to an increase in (a) the number of awards granted and (b) the fair value of awards granted as a result of the higher price of the Company’s common stock on the respective grant dates, (iv) an increase in professional fees related to out-sourced auxiliary services and (v) a net increase among other items, including employee costs, currency translation, community relations, insurance, and office and facilities expenses, partially offset by (vi) a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses due to lower amortization of customer lists.

Consolidated Provision for Bad Debts

Provision for bad debts increased from $186 for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014 to $654 for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to the write-off of a customer receivable balance originating in the Company’s Brazilian operations, for which recovery has been deemed unlikely. The Company believes the event is isolated in nature and magnitude.

Consolidated Other Operating Expense, Net

Other operating expense, net decreased from $4,008 for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014 to $3,135 for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015. The decrease is primarily attributable to (i) the absence of restructuring charges in the current fiscal year and (ii) a decrease in the loss recognized on the sale of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by (iii) an increase in operating expenses for Renewables due to (a) the expansion of FGM crop fields, (b) bedding trials conducted at poultry houses and (c) increased depreciation and amortization expenses and (iv) an increase in foreign currency transaction losses due to year-over-year devaluation of the Brazilian Real.

Consolidated Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense increased from $1,547 for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014 to $2,364 for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015. Interest expense, net consists of the following:

	March 29, 2015			March 30, 2014
Interest on ABL Facility	$	2,651		$	2,450
Other		134			146
Subtotal		2,785			2,596
Reclassification adjustment for cash flow hedge		212			433
Amortization of debt financing fees		402			317
Mark-to-market adjustment for interest rate swap		(19	)		(107	)
Interest capitalized to property, plant and equipment, net		(143	)		(122	)
Subtotal		452			521
Total interest expense		3,237			3,117
Interest income		(873	)		(1,570	)
Interest expense, net	$	2,364		$	1,547

The slight increase in total interest expense is attributable to multiple offsetting factors, but is primarily due to an increase in the average outstanding debt balance of the ABL Facility from $94,266 to $104,688, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate from 3.4% to 3.3%.

Interest income in each period includes earnings recognized on cash equivalents held globally. Interest income in the first nine months of fiscal year 2014 includes a one-time receipt of interest of $1,084 related to the settlement of a judicial claim involving the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Entering into the Amended Credit Agreement (as described below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt Obligations”) generated substantially different terms for the ABL Term Loan and resulted in the replacement of an existing lender. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,040 for the write-off of certain debt financing fees related to the previous credit agreement.

Consolidated Earnings from Unconsolidated Affiliates

For the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015, the Company generated $35,639 of income before income taxes, of which $12,461 was generated from its investments in unconsolidated affiliates. For the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014, the Company generated $33,435 of income before income taxes, of which $14,830 was generated from its investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

The Company’s 34% share of PAL’s earnings decreased from $13,949 in the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014 to $11,427 in the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015, primarily attributable to lower earnings recognized under the Farm Bill’s economic adjustment assistance program (of approximately $7,300 for PAL and approximately $2,500 for the Company) in the current period as compared to the prior year period and lower year-to-date margins. The decrease is partially offset by an after-tax gain (of approximately $4,430 for PAL and approximately $1,506 for the Company) from PAL’s acquisition of a yarn manufacturer based in Mexico for which PAL previously held a 50% ownership interest. For the nine months ended March 29, 2015, PAL’s corresponding fiscal period consisted of 40 weeks. The remaining change in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates relates to higher combined operating results for the Company’s two nylon extrusion joint ventures that supply POY to the Company’s Nylon Segment.

Consolidated Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision for the year-to-date period ended March 29, 2015 resulted in tax expense of $10,083, with an effective tax rate of 28.3%. The Company’s income tax provision for the year-to-date period ended March 30, 2014 resulted in tax expense of $14,151, with an effective tax rate of 42.3%.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 29, 2015 was favorably impacted by the following items and approximate percentages: (i) the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate for which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance (3.3%), (ii) a lower overall effective tax rate for the Company’s foreign earnings (3.0%), (iii) net federal and state credits, including renewable energy credits (2.6%) and (iv) the domestic production activities deduction (1.6%). These favorable impacts were partially offset by (v) state and local taxes net of the assumed federal benefit (0.4%) and (vi) losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized, including an increase in the valuation allowance for such losses (2.5%).

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 30, 2014 is higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to (i) the impact of state and local taxes, (ii) the recognition of higher taxable versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate for which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance, (iii) foreign dividends taxed in the U.S. and (iv) 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 year-to-date period of fiscal year 2015 was $26,511, or $1.46 per basic share, compared to $20,056, or $1.05 per basic share, for the prior year-to-date period.

As detailed above, the increase is primarily attributable to higher gross profits and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses and lower earnings from unconsolidated affiliates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the key performance indicators discussed above, management continuously reviews several non-GAAP financial measures to assess performance of the Company’s business and measure its success, as discussed in detail in the 2014 Form 10-K. These non-GAAP financial measures include the following:

●

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, loss on previously held equity interest 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, 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 selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), net of segment other adjustments;

●

Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“Adjusted EPS”), which represents basic earnings per share calculated under GAAP, adjusted to exclude changes in the deferred tax valuation allowance, gain on bargain purchase for an equity affiliate, renewable energy tax credits, loss on extinguishment of debt, restructuring charges, net, interest income related to a judicial claim and net gains or losses on sale or disposal of assets; 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.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted Profit, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Working Capital are financial measurements that management uses to facilitate its analysis and understanding of the Company’s business operations. Management believes they 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, Adjusted EPS 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, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Working Capital are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and stock repurchases. The Company’s primary sources of capital are cash generated from operations and borrowings available under its ABL Revolver. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2015, cash generated from operations was $19,697, and at March 29, 2015, excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $67,767.

As of March 29, 2015, 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. As described below, cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries may not be presently available to fund the Company’s domestic capital requirements, including its domestic debt obligations, without potentially incurring incremental taxes due upon their repatriation. The Company employs a variety of tax planning and financing strategies to ensure that its worldwide cash is available in the locations where it is needed. 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 March 29, 2015:

	U.S.		Brazil		All Others		Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$	32	$	4,017	$	10,703	$	14,752
Borrowings available under ABL Revolver		67,767		—		—		67,767
Liquidity	$	67,799	$	4,017	$	10,703	$	82,519

Working capital	$	87,086	$	34,849	$	23,679	$	145,614
Total debt obligations	$	111,017	$	—	$	1,250	$	112,267

As of March 29, 2015, 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 $22,350 of future cash flows generated from its operations in Brazil and has recorded a deferred tax liability of $7,822 to reflect the additional income tax that would be due as a result. The Company currently has no plans to repatriate other cash balances held outside the United States. However, if such other balances were to be repatriated, additional tax payments could result. As of March 29, 2015, $27,265 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. Computation of the potential tax liabilities associated with unremitted earnings permanently reinvested is not practicable.

On March 26, 2015, the Company and its subsidiary, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) for a $200,000 senior secured credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders. The ABL Facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolver”) and an $84,375 term loan that can be reset up to a maximum amount of $100,000, once per fiscal year, if certain future conditions are met (the “ABL Term Loan”). The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020. The Company paid $750 to the lenders in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement.

Further discussion of the terms and conditions of the Company’s existing indebtedness is provided in “Note 12. Long-Term Debt” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Working capital	$	145,614		$	150,925

(1)

Excludes accrued interest

Working capital decreased from $150,925 as of June 29, 2014 to $145,614 as of March 29, 2015, while Adjusted Working Capital decreased from $137,444 to $134,888. The decrease in accounts receivable is primarily attributable to the devaluation of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar. The decrease in inventory represents lower polyester raw material costs and devaluation of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by higher raw material units on-hand for the Polyester Segment to support growth in our texturing and recycling operations. The decrease in accounts payable reflects purchasing activity and the timing of vendor payments primarily with respect to capital expenditures. The decrease in accrued expenses is primarily attributable to the payment of fiscal year 2014 variable compensation during fiscal year 2015. Working capital was further impacted by a decrease in cash and an increase in other current liabilities, which reflects the short-term payments due under the ABL Facility and the current maturity of a related party term loan. Offsetting these changes is an increase in the income tax receivable for the domestic operations, reflected in the increase in other current assets.

Capital Projects

The Company expects to add between $40,000 and $45,000 of property, plant and equipment over the course of fiscal year 2015, which is inclusive of approximately $10,000 of annual maintenance capital expenditures (expenditures that extend the useful life of existing assets and/or increase the capabilities or production capacity of the assets). During the first nine months of fiscal year 2015, the Company has (i) incurred $19,393 for capital expenditures and (ii) recorded $6,065 for machinery and transportation equipment subject to capital lease agreements.

The Company expects capital projects to approximate $115,000 over the course of fiscal years 2015 through 2017. The current estimate reflects initiatives to expand our existing business and pursue PVA growth opportunities, including backward integration into plastic bottle processing and bottle flake production, primarily for the Polyester Segment, especially for REPREVE®. The total amount is expected to be funded by a combination of cash from operations, borrowings under the ABL Revolver and new capital lease obligations. Actual additions for all of fiscal year 2015 and subsequent fiscal years could be more or less depending on the timing and scale of contemplated initiatives.

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

Repayments of Debt Obligations

In addition to payments in accordance with 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. Funds to make such repayments 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 provided in “Note 12. Long-Term Debt” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Stock Repurchase Program

During fiscal year 2014, the Company completed its repurchase of shares under its $50,000 stock repurchase program that had been approved by the Board on January 22, 2013 (the “2013 SRP”). On April 23, 2014, the Board approved a new stock repurchase program (the “2014 SRP”) to authorize the Company to acquire up to an additional $50,000 of common stock. Under the 2014 SRP (as was the case under the 2013 SRP), the Company is authorized to repurchase shares at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at such times and prices and in such manner as determined by management, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. Repurchases, if any, are expected to be financed through cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Company’s ABL Revolver, and are subject to applicable limitations and restrictions as set forth in the ABL Facility. The 2014 SRP has no stated expiration or termination date, and there is no time limit or specific time frame otherwise for repurchases. The Company may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not beneficial or advisable. Repurchases for the nine months ended March 29, 2015 totaled 149 shares for $4,160, including brokerage fees.

Liquidity Summary

Historically, the Company has met its working capital and debt service requirements from its cash flows from operations. 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. Domestically, the Company’s cash balances, cash provided by operating activities and borrowings available under the ABL Revolver continue to be sufficient to fund the Company’s domestic operating activities as well as cash commitments for its investing and financing activities. For its foreign operations, the Company expects its existing cash balances and cash provided by operating activities will provide the needed liquidity to fund its foreign operating activities and any foreign investing activities, such as future capital expenditures.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities consists of the following:

	For the Nine Months Ended
	March 29, 2015			March 30, 2014
Cash receipts:
Receipts from customers	$	506,661		$	506,500
Distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates		598			9,832
Other receipts		1,429			6,500

Cash payments:
Payments to suppliers and other operating costs		383,253			375,703
Payments for salaries, wages and benefits		87,912			87,890
Payments for taxes		13,995			8,294
Payments for interest		2,524			2,474
Payments for restructuring and severance		355			2,077
Other		850			404
Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities		19,799			45,990
Adjustment for excess tax benefit on stock-based compensation plans (1)		(102	)		(3,553	)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	19,697		$	42,437

(1)

Adjustment for excess tax benefit on stock-based compensation plans represents the classification of the tax benefit realized from share-based payment awards within net cash provided by (used in) financing activities with a corresponding offset to net cash provided by operating activities.

The slight increase in receipts from customers is consistent with the year-to-date increase in net sales over the prior year period, adjusted for the timing of cash receipts due to a comparatively lower accounts receivable balance at June 29, 2014 versus June 30, 2013. Distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates decreased due to the lack of discretionary distributions from PAL in the current year based on PAL’s capital investment and acquisition activity. During the prior year period, other receipts included the return of utility and value-added tax deposits of $4,805, plus associated interest of $1,225 (which includes $1,084 of interest related to a judicial claim). The increase in payments to suppliers and other operating costs is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower raw material costs. Payments for taxes have increased as compared to the prior year period due to (i) a fiscal year 2014 extension payment paid in fiscal year 2015, (ii) an increase in estimated income tax payments from forecasting higher taxable income for an equity affiliate and (iii) an election by our Brazilian subsidiary to provide current tax payments on certain unrealized foreign currency transactions. Severance agreements and restructuring costs commenced in fiscal year 2014, which included payments to two former executive officers and equipment relocation and reinstallation costs. Such fiscal year 2015 payments represent final amounts due under severance agreements.

Cash Used in or Provided by Investing and Financing Activities

The Company utilized $19,348 for net investing activities, and $2,476 was provided from net financing activities, during the nine months ended March 29, 2015. Significant expenditures for investing activities include $19,393 for capital expenditures, which primarily relate to improving the flexibility and capability of producing PVA products in the Polyester Segment’s spinning facility, increasing the capacity of the recycling facility and increasing the capacity and flexibility of our regional polyester texturing operations. Significant financing activities include $22,000 provided from increasing the ABL Term Loan, $5,625 utilized for ABL Term Loan repayments, $8,900 utilized for net cash payments on the ABL Revolver, and cash payments of $4,160 for repurchases of Company stock made under the 2014 SRP.

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 March 29, 2015, in addition to the aforementioned changes to the Company’s indebtedness, material changes to cash payments due under the Company’s contractual obligations, as disclosed in the table under the subheading “Contractual Obligations” of Item 7 in the 2014 Form 10-K, were as follows:

●

During the first quarter ended September 28, 2014, the Company entered into a five-year-term operating lease for warehousing space in Yadkinville for the Polyester Segment, with monthly payments of $55.

●

During the second quarter ended December 28, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire polyester texturing machines for approximately $4,800. Three such machines were placed into service during the quarter ended March 29, 2015, with installation expected to occur for additional machines during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015.

●

During the nine months ended March 29, 2015, the Company entered into agreements for machinery or transportation equipment to be constructed or acquired, primarily for the Polyester Segment, for which capital lease accounting is expected to commence during calendar year 2015. During the quarter ended March 29, 2015, capital lease accounting commenced for three such agreements. The remaining outstanding agreements are expected to approximate $5,226 for capitalization in a future period.

There have been no further material changes in the scheduled maturities of the Company’s contractual obligations as disclosed in the table under the subheading “Contractual Obligations” of Item 7 in the 2014 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 2014 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. As of March 29, 2015, the Company had borrowings under its ABL Revolver and ABL Term Loan that totaled $101,475 and contain variable rates of interest; however, the Company hedges a significant portion of such interest rate variability using an interest rate swap. As of March 29, 2015, 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 March 29, 2015 would result in an increase of $257 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. The Company may also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure for certain equipment or inventory purchase commitments. As of March 29, 2015, the Company had no outstanding foreign forward currency contracts.

As of March 29, 2015, the Company’s subsidiaries outside the U.S., whose functional currency is other than the U.S. Dollar, held approximately 14.0% 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 March 29, 2015, $10,721, or 72.7%, of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S., of which approximately $4,318 were held in U.S. Dollar equivalents.

More information regarding the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of March 29, 2015 is provided in “Note 17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Raw Material and Commodity Risks

A significant portion of the Company’s raw materials and energy requirements 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 March 29, 2015, 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 third quarter of fiscal year 2015, there was no change in the Company’s internal control 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 control over financial reporting.
