UFI News & Events

During October 2025, UNIFI implemented additional cost savings initiatives that included reducing variable manufacturing costs across labor, spend, and support functions, while also eliminating many salaried positions in the U.S. Along with a renewed focus on optimizing commercial execution, increasing margin accretive activities, and scrutinizing working capital, management expects this improvement plan to aid in generating positive operating cash flow in the quarters ahead. Ingle concluded, "While we are only a few weeks into our third fiscal quarter, we are starting to see some initial signs of a return to a more normalized operating environment, with improving customer engagements. Additionally, our investments in innovation and the beyond apparel portfolio are gaining traction across key focus areas. As our customers begin to rebuild their depleted inventory levels in calendar 2026, we expect to increase our working capital levels modestly in support of increased sales levels. As a result, we expect the third quarter to exhibit lower operating cash flows compared to the most recent quarter. While we recognize that there is still a lot of work to be done to achieve our goals, we are proud of the progress that we have made. As we look towards the second half of fiscal 2026, our focus will remain on converting our improved operational progress into sustained financial momentum, which in turn will create value for our shareholders."

Reports Q2 revenue $121.4M, consensus $120.18M. Eddie Ingle, Chief Executive Officer of Unifi, Inc., stated, "Our results for the second quarter were in line with our expectations. Over the last two years, we have executed numerous strategic initiatives to realign our cost structure and operations. The combination of these actions have positioned UNIFI to generate profits on a meaningfully lower revenue base. As our markets and the tariff situation continue to normalize, we will be able to leverage this more streamlined business model to drive stronger profitability and free cash flow."

Unifi announced the closing of the sale of its manufacturing facility in Madison, North Carolina, to a third-party buyer for $45M. Net proceeds of $25M were used to reduce its term loan, and $18.3M to reduce revolving loans, reducing debt principal by approximately $43.3M. Unifi expects over $20M in estimated annualized operating cost savings from higher utilization and more efficient operations in its Americas segment once transition activities are completed.

UNIFI expects the following fourth quarter fiscal 2025 results: Net sales and Adjusted EBITDA improving sequentially from the third quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by further recovery for the Americas Segment; Continued restructuring and transition expenses, primarily equipment relocation and abandonment costs, of between $6.0 million and $8.0 million; Continued volatility in the effective tax rate. Eddie Ingle, Chief Executive Officer of Unifi, Inc., stated, "While there continues to be uncertainty around the global macroeconomic environment, we believe we have taken steps to improve our business in order to put UNIFI in a strong position to support our customers' needs with sustainable and innovative products that will help create a more circular economy and position the Company for future growth. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on finding additional ways to optimize our operations, improve our financial performance, accelerate our revenues, and create value for our shareholders."
