1. Background

Unifi, Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1969 (together with its subsidiaries, “we”, the “Company” or “Unifi”), is a multi-national manufacturing company that processes and sells high-volume commodity yarns, specialized yarns designed to meet certain customer specifications, and premier value-added (“PVA”) yarns with enhanced performance characteristics. The Company sells yarns made from polyester and nylon to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, sock, home furnishings, automotive upholstery, industrial and other end-use markets. The Company’s polyester products include polyester polymer beads (“Chip”), partially oriented yarn (“POY”), textured, solution and package dyed, twisted and beamed yarns; each is available in virgin or recycled varieties (made from both pre-consumer yarn waste and post-consumer waste, including plastic bottles). The Company’s nylon products include textured, solution dyed and covered spandex products.

The Company maintains one of the industry’s most comprehensive yarn product offerings, and it has ten manufacturing operations in four countries and participates in joint ventures in Israel and the United States (“U.S.”). The Company’s principal markets are located in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Central America and South America. In addition, the Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in the People’s Republic of China (“China”) focused on the sale and promotion of the Company’s PVA and other specialty products in the Asian textile market, primarily in China, as well as into the European market.

2. Basis of Presentation; Condensed Notes

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. As contemplated by the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission to Form 10-Q, the following notes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements. Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 (the "2013 Form 10-K").

The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The June 30, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and certain financial statement disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

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

Fiscal Year

The Company’s current fiscal quarter ended on September 29, 2013. The Company’s Brazilian, Colombian and Chinese subsidiaries report on a calendar period basis, with their fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2013. There were no significant transactions or events that occurred between the Company’s fiscal quarter end and its subsidiaries’ fiscal quarter end for this period. The three months ended September 29, 2013 and the three months ended September 23, 2012 each consisted of thirteen week periods.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior years’ data have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have, or are expected to have, a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

4. Receivables, Net

Receivables, net consist of the following:

Other receivables consist primarily of receivables for duty drawback, amounts due from customers for returnable packaging, interest, value-added tax and refunds from vendors.

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

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

5. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

The cost for the majority of the Company’s inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Certain foreign inventories of $32,407 and $31,139 as of September 29, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively, were valued under the average cost method.

The total amounts transferred to Other investments at the time of the notification were $1,743. To date, the Company has received payments in accordance with the court mandated schedule of $835 plus interest.

8. Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible assets, net consist of the following:

In fiscal year 2007, the Company purchased the texturing operations of Dillon Yarn Corporation (“Dillon”) which are included in the Company’s Polyester Segment. The valuation of the customer list acquired was determined by estimating the discounted net earnings attributable to the customer relationships that were purchased after considering items such as possible customer attrition. Based on the length and trend of the projected cash flows, an estimated useful life of thirteen years was determined. The customer list is being amortized in a manner which reflects the expected economic benefit that will be received over its thirteen year life. The Dillon non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight line method over the periods currently covered by the agreements. The amortization expense is included within the Polyester Segment’s depreciation and amortization expense.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Repreve Renewables, LLC (“Renewables”). The non-compete agreement acquired is being amortized using the straight line method over the five year term of the agreement. The licenses acquired are being amortized using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives of four to eight years.

As part of its efforts to market REPREVE® and other PVA products to consumers worldwide and to raise its visibility among brands, the Company capitalizes expenses incurred to register certain trademarks of Repreve and other PVA products in various countries. The Company has determined that these trademarks have varying useful lives of up to three years.

Amortization expense for intangible assets consists of the following:

9. Other Non-Current Assets

Other non-current assets consist of the following:

Long-term deposits consist primarily of vendor deposits. Biomass foundation and feedstock are currently being developed and propagated by Renewables for the bioenergy industry. See “Note 6. Other Current Assets” for further discussion of Other investments. Other consists primarily of premiums on a split dollar life insurance policy which represents the value of the Company’s right of return on premiums paid for a retiree owned insurance contract which matures in 2015.

10. Accrued Expenses 

Accrued expenses consist of the following:

Accrued severance is primarily compromised of the current portion of amounts due under severance agreements between the Company and two of its former executive officers. See “Note 19. Other Operating Expense, Net” for further discussion of severance costs. Other consists primarily of unearned revenues related to returnable packaging, workers compensation and other employee related claims, marketing expenses, freight expenses, rent and other non-income related taxes.

11. Long-Term Debt

Debt Obligations

The following table presents the total balances outstanding for the Company’s debt obligations, their scheduled maturity dates and the weighted average interest rate for borrowings (including the effects of an interest rate swap) as well as the applicable current portion of long-term debt:

ABL Facility

On May 24, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to establish a $150,000 senior secured credit facility (“ABL Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. The ABL Facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (“ABL Revolver”) and a $50,000 term loan (“ABL Term Loan”). In addition, the Company entered into a $30,000 term loan (“Term B Loan”) which was repaid on January 8, 2013. The Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement on December 27, 2012 and a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement on June 25, 2013. The ABL Facility, as amended, has a maturity date of May 24, 2018.

The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all property and assets of Unifi, Inc., Unifi Manufacturing, Inc. and its subsidiary guarantors (the “Loan Parties”). It is also secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the stock of (or other ownership interests in) each of the Loan Parties (other than the Company) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties; provided, that only 65% of the stock of (or other ownership interests in) first tier controlled foreign corporations is pledged, together with all proceeds and products thereof. The ABL Facility is further secured by a first-priority lien on the Company’s limited liability company membership interest in Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”).   

The Credit Agreement includes representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are usual and customary for financings of this type. Should excess availability under the ABL Revolver fall below the greater of $10,000 or 20% of the maximum revolver amount, a financial covenant requiring the Loan Parties to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.0 becomes effective. In addition, the ABL Facility contains restrictions on certain payments and investments, including restrictions on the payments of dividends and share repurchases, unless excess availability is greater than $20,000 for the thirty day period prior to the making of such a distribution (as calculated on a pro forma basis as if the payment and any revolving loans made in connection therewith were made on the first day of such period).

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

The Company’s ability to borrow under the ABL Revolver is limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to certain conditions and limitations. ABL Revolver borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.75% to 2.25%, or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% to 1.25% with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. The applicable margin is based on the average quarterly excess availability under the ABL Revolver. The Base Rate means the greater of (i) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0%. There is also an unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25% to 0.375% of the unused line amount which is paid monthly.

The ABL Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.25%, or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% with interest paid monthly. ABL Term Loan principal payments (if any) are based on the amount that the outstanding balance of the ABL Term Loan exceeds a calculation of eligible machinery and equipment and eligible real property collateral specific to the ABL Term Loan. Subject to certain provisions, the ABL Term Loan may be prepaid at par, in whole or in part, at any time before the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion.

Under the terms of the ABL Facility, the Company is required to hedge at least $50,000 of variable interest rate exposure so long as the outstanding principal of all indebtedness having variable interest rates exceeds $75,000.

As of September 29, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants, the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $38,968, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 4.58 to 1.0 and the Company had $525 of standby letters of credit, none of which have been drawn upon.

Term Loan from Unconsolidated Affiliate

On August 30, 2012, a foreign subsidiary of the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement for $1,250 with its unconsolidated affiliate U.N.F. Industries Ltd. (“UNF”). The loan bears interest at 3% with interest payable semi-annually. The loan does not amortize and has a maturity date of August 30, 2014, at which time the entire principal balance is due.

Capital Lease Obligation

On November 19, 2012, the Company entered into a capital lease with Salem Leasing Corporation for certain transportation equipment. The original amount due under the fifteen year term of the lease is $1,234 and payments are made monthly. The implicit annual interest rate under the lease is approximately 4.6%.

Scheduled Debt Maturities

The following table presents the scheduled maturities of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations for the remainder of fiscal year 2014 and the following fiscal years thereafter:

Debt financing fees are classified within Other non-current assets and consist of the following:

The components of Loss on extinguishment of debt consist of the following:

12. Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities consist of the following:

Severance represents the long-term portion of monies due under severance agreements with former executive officers of the Company, see “Note 19. Other Operating Expense, Net” for further discussion of these charges.

Other includes certain retiree and post-employment medical and disability liabilities and certain non-income tax liabilities associated with one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

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

13. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three month periods ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012 were based upon the estimated effective income tax rate applicable for the full year after giving effect to any significant items related specifically to interim periods. The effective income tax rate can be impacted over the fiscal year by the mix and timing of actual earnings from our U.S. operations and foreign sources versus annual projections and changes in foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar. As a result, the Company’s effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis.

The Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended September 29, 2013 resulted in tax expense of $5,751 with an effective tax rate of 40.0%. The Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended September 23, 2012 resulted in tax expense of $3,233, with an effective tax rate of 61.1%. The effective income tax rate for each of the periods is higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to foreign dividends taxed in the U.S., the timing of the Company’s recognition of higher taxable versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate for which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance and losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

As of September 29, 2013, the Company’s valuation allowance was $17,153 and includes $14,391 for reserves against certain deferred tax assets primarily related to equity investments and foreign tax credit carryforwards, as well as $2,762 for reserves against certain deferred tax assets of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards. The Company's valuation allowance as of June 30, 2013 was $16,690.

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions since June 30, 2013. The Company’s estimate for the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. Management believes that any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters have been adequately provided for. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved or when statutes of limitation on potential assessments expire.

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, as well as income tax returns in numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. The tax years subject to examination vary by jurisdiction. The Company regularly assesses the outcomes of both completed and ongoing examinations to ensure that the Company’s provision for income taxes is sufficient. Currently, the Company is subject to income tax examinations for U.S. federal income taxes for tax years 2010 through 2013, for foreign income taxes for tax years 2007 through 2013, and for state and local income taxes for tax years 2003 through 2013. The U.S. federal tax returns and state tax returns filed for the 2010 through 2013 tax years have utilized carryforward tax attributes generated in prior tax years, including net operating losses, which could potentially be revised upon examination.

14. Shareholders’ Equity

On January 22, 2013, the Board approved a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $50,000 worth of the Company’s common stock. Under the repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at such times, manner and prices as determined by management, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. Repurchases are expected to be financed through cash from operations and borrowings under the Company’s ABL Revolver, and are subject to applicable limitations and restrictions as set forth in the ABL Facility. The repurchase program has no stated expiration or termination date, and there is no time limit or specific time frame otherwise for repurchases. The Company may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not beneficial or advisable.

The following table summarizes the Company’s repurchases and retirements of its common stock since the inception of its stock repurchase program.

All repurchased shares have been retired and have the status of authorized and unissued shares. The cost of the repurchased shares above par value has been allocated between Capital in excess of par value and Retained earnings.

No dividends were paid during the last two fiscal years.

15. Stock Based Compensation

On October 29, 2008, the Company’s shareholders approved the Unifi, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2008 LTIP”). The 2008 LTIP authorized the issuance of up to 2,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the grant or exercise of stock options, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock, but not more than 1,000 shares may be issued as restricted stock. Awards may be made to employees, directors and consultants, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Option awards are granted with an exercise price not less than the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant and have ten year contractual terms. The 2008 LTIP replaced the 1999 Unifi, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“1999 LTIP”), however, prior grants outstanding under the 1999 LTIP remain subject to that plan’s provisions.

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

Stock options

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

The valuation models used the following assumptions:

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

A summary of stock option activity for the quarter ended September 29, 2013 is as follows:

At September 29, 2013, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $1,476, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.

For the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012, the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $4,442, and $26, respectively. The amount of cash received from the exercise of options was $2,373 and $29 and the tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $1,759 and $1 for the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012, respectively.

Restricted stock units

During the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012, the Company granted 22 and 32 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, to certain key employees. The RSUs are subject to a vesting restriction and convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company stock until such RSUs have vested and been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company stock. The RSUs vest over a three year period. The RSUs do not have a contractual term and will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of stock on each vesting date and distributed to the grantee, or the grantee may elect to defer the receipt of the shares of stock until separation from service. If after the first anniversary of the grant date and prior to the final vesting date the grantee has a separation from service without cause for any reason other than the employee’s resignation, the remaining unvested RSUs will become fully vested and will be converted to an equivalent number of shares of stock and issued to the grantee. The Company estimated the fair value of the awards granted during the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012 to be $22.08 and $11.23 per RSU, respectively.

No RSUs were granted to non-employee directors in either period.

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

Unifi, Inc.

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

A summary of the RSU activity for the quarter ended September 29, 2013 is as follows:

At September 29, 2013 the number of RSUs vested and expected to vest was 176 with an aggregate intrinsic value of $4,169. The aggregate intrinsic value of the 127 vested RSUs at September 29, 2013 was $3,007.

The remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested RSUs at September 29, 2013 is $497, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years.

For the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012, the total intrinsic value of RSUs converted was $696 and nil, respectively. The tax benefit realized from the conversion of RSUs was $275 and nil for the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012, respectively.

Summary

The total cost charged against income related to all stock based compensation arrangements was as follows:

The total income tax benefit recognized for stock based compensation was $75 and $76 for the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 23, 2012, respectively.

As of September 29, 2013, a summary of the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans is as follows:

Subsequent Event

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

16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial Instruments

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

Foreign currency forward contracts

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges for exposures related to certain sales, inventory purchases and equipment purchases which are denominated in currencies that are not its functional currency. As of September 29, 2013, the latest maturity date for all outstanding foreign currency forward contracts is during November 2013. These items are not designated as hedges by the Company and are marked to market each period and offset by the foreign exchange (gains) losses included in Other operating expense, net resulting from the underlying exposures of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Interest rate swap

On May 18, 2012, the Company entered into a five year, $50,000 interest rate swap with Wells Fargo to provide a hedge against the variability of cash flows related to additional LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings under the Company’s ABL Revolver and ABL Term Loan. It increased to $85,000 in May 2013 and will decrease $5,000 per quarter beginning with the current quarter until the balance again reaches $50,000 in February 2015, where it will remain through the life of the instrument. This interest rate swap allows the Company to fix LIBOR at 1.06% and terminates on May 24, 2017.

On November 26, 2012, the Company de-designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. For the quarterly period ended September 29, 2013, the Company reclassified pre-tax unrealized losses of $155 from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Interest expense; the Company expects to reclassify additional losses of $502 during the next twelve months.

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:
