FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that relate to our plans, objectives, estimates and goals. Statements expressing expectations regarding our future, or projections or estimates relating to products, sales, revenues, expenditures, costs or earnings, are typical of such statements and are made under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations about our future economic performance, considering the information currently available to management. The words “believe,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek,” “strive” and words of similar import, or the negative of such words, identify or signal the presence of forward-looking statements. These statements are not statements of historical fact; they involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to differ materially from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition that we express or imply in any forward-looking statement. Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:

 

the competitive nature of the textile industry and the impact of global competition;

 

changes in the trade regulatory environment and governmental policies and legislation;

 

the availability, sourcing and pricing of raw materials;

 

general domestic and international economic and industry conditions in markets where the Company competes, including economic and political factors over which the Company has no control;

 

changes in consumer spending, customer preferences, fashion trends and end-uses for products;

 

the financial condition of the Company’s customers;

 

the loss of a significant customer;

 

the success of the Company’s strategic business initiatives;

 

volatility of financial and credit markets;

 

the ability to service indebtedness and fund capital expenditures and strategic initiatives;

 

availability of and access to credit on reasonable terms;

 

changes in currency exchange, interest and inflation rates;

 

fluctuations in production costs;

 

the ability to protect intellectual property;

 

employee relations;

 

the impact of environmental, health and safety regulations;

 

the operating performance of joint ventures and other equity investments;

 

the accurate financial reporting of information from equity method investees; and

 

other factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016 or elsewhere in this report.

All such factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors or to assess the impact of each such factor on the Company. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made, except as may be required by federal securities law.

In light of all the above considerations, we reiterate that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we caution you not to rely on them as such.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

1.  Background

Unifi, Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1969 (together with its subsidiaries, “Unifi,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a multi-national manufacturing company that sells innovative synthetic and recycled 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 plastic bottle flake, polyester polymer beads (“Chip”), partially oriented yarn (“POY”), and textured, solution and package dyed, twisted, beamed and draw wound yarns. Each yarn product is available in virgin or recycled varieties, where the recycled is made from both pre-consumer yarn waste and post-consumer waste, including plastic bottles. The Company’s nylon products include textured, solution dyed and spandex covered products.

The Company maintains one of the textile industry’s most comprehensive yarn product offerings that include specialized yarns, premium value-added (“PVA”) yarns and commodity yarns, with its principal geographic markets in the Americas and Asia.

The Company has manufacturing operations in four countries and participates in joint ventures in Israel and the United States, the most significant of which is a 34% non-controlling partnership interest in Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”), a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the textile industry and apparel market, both foreign and domestic. 

 

 

2.  Basis of Presentation; Condensed Notes

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. As contemplated by the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 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 related notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016 (the “2016 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, which consist of normal, recurring 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 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 (000s), except as otherwise noted.

The fiscal quarter for the Company and its subsidiary in El Salvador ended on March 26, 2017, the last Sunday in March. The fiscal quarter for the Company’s Brazilian, Chinese, Sri Lankan and Colombian subsidiaries ended on March 31, 2017.  There were no significant transactions or events that occurred between the Company’s fiscal quarter end and certain of its subsidiaries’ fiscal quarter end.  The three-month and nine-month periods ended March 26, 2017 and March 27, 2016 each consisted of thirteen and thirty-nine fiscal weeks, respectively.

Reclassifications

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

As of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company updated the composition of its Polyester and Nylon Segments, intending to better reflect downstream sales for the respective product lines. In connection with such update, for the three months and nine months ended March 27, 2016, the Company has reclassified net sales and cost of sales amounts for the respective segments, as reflected in Note 21, “Business Segment Information.”

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”) during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, along with the clarifying guidance in ASU 2015-15, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at

During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a $749 out-of-period foreign currency gain adjustment within other operating (income) expense, net.  Management believes the out-of-period adjustment is immaterial to the current and prior financial statements and earnings trends, including those within the 2016 Form 10-K.

 

 

3.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new accounting guidance for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Subsequent ASUs have been issued to provide clarity and defer the effective date. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaces it with a principles-based approach. While the Company has not yet determined the effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, the Company notes the following considerations: (i) the Company is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing and delivering tangible products utilizing relatively straightforward contract terms without multiple performance obligations and (ii) transaction prices for the Company’s primary and material revenue activities are determinable and lack significant timing considerations. The Company is currently performing the following activities regarding implementation: (a) reviewing material contracts and (b) assessing accounting policy elections under the new guidance with current practice. In addition, implementation matters remaining include (x) evaluating the systems and processes to support revenue recognition and (y) selecting the method of adoption. The new revenue recognition guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal 2019.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for leases. The new guidance is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. While the Company has not yet determined the full effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, as of March 26, 2017, the Company had approximately $7,000 of future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year). The ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal 2020, and early adoption is permitted.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, that eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The Company has no measurement period adjustments in the current or comparative periods.

Based on the Company’s review of ASUs issued since the filing of the 2016 Form 10-K, there have been no other newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have, or are expected to have, a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

4.  Sale of Renewables

On December 23, 2016, the Company, through a wholly owned foreign subsidiary, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “RR Agreement”) to sell its 60% equity ownership interest in Repreve Renewables, LLC (“Renewables”) to the existing third-party joint venture partner for $500 in cash (the “RR Sale”). The Company has no continuing involvement in the operations of Renewables subsequent to December 23, 2016.

In connection with the RR Sale, the Company recognized a loss on sale of business, reflecting the difference between the consideration received and the Company’s portion of Renewables’ net assets on the date of the RR Agreement. The operations of Renewables during the nine-month period ended March 26, 2017 are not reflected as discontinued operations as (i) the enterprise does not have a major effect on the Company’s consolidated operations and financial results, (ii) the disposal does not represent a strategic shift and (iii) the enterprise is not an individually significant component. The operations of Renewables up to the date of the RR Sale are reflected in continuing operations within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income, with presentation consistent with that provided in the 2016 Form 10-K.

The loss on the sale of the business is not relevant to the Company’s core operations and is not reflective of the primary revenue or expense activity of the Company. Therefore, the Company has recorded the loss on the sale of Renewables below operating income within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Deconsolidation of Renewables resulted in the removal of all corresponding assets (the most significant of which was $4,472 of miscanthus grass, net of depreciation, historically reflected in other non-current assets) and liabilities and the elimination of the non-controlling interest in Renewables from the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, as summarized in the table below.

ABL Revolver and ABL Term Loan

On March 26, 2015, the Company and its subsidiary, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended, 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 a term loan that can be reset up to a maximum amount of $100,000, once per fiscal year, if certain conditions are met (the “ABL Term Loan”). The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020.

 

On November 18, 2016, pursuant to the principal reset conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company, at its discretion, reset the ABL Term Loan principal balance to $100,000. In connection with the principal reset, the ABL Term Loan is subject to quarterly amortizing payments of $2,500.

Construction Financing

In December 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party lender that provided for construction-period financing for certain build-to-suit assets. During the construction period, the Company recorded project costs to construction in progress and the corresponding liability to construction financing (within long-term debt).

As of March 26, 2017, asset construction was complete and the project costs were reclassified from construction in progress to capital lease assets. Accordingly, the principal balance of $13,235 is reflected within capital lease obligations, with $2,698 included in current maturities, and will amortize over 60 monthly payments with an interest rate of 3.8%.

Repreve Renewables, LLC

As described in Note 4, “Sale of Renewables,” the Company’s sale of its 60% equity ownership interest in Renewables in December 2016 required deconsolidation of the corresponding assets and liabilities, and, accordingly, the respective debt principal balances are appropriately excluded from the Company’s total long-term debt as of March 26, 2017.  The Company has no joint and several liability for such debt.

Scheduled Debt Maturities

The effective tax rates for the periods presented above are lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign income being taxed at lower rates and a decrease in the valuation allowance for the Company’s investment in PAL, partially offset by losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized and state and local income taxes net of federal benefits. Additionally, the effective tax rates for the three months and nine months ended March 26, 2017 include the benefit of increased research and development credits, partially offset by a corresponding reduction in the domestic production activities deduction.

The Company regularly assesses the outcomes of both completed and ongoing examinations to ensure that the Company’s provision for income taxes is sufficient. Certain returns that remain open to examination have utilized carryforward tax attributes generated in prior tax years, including net operating losses, which could potentially be revised upon examination.

its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire $50,000 of the Company’s common stock with no expiration. Purchases under the program may be done in accordance with SEC regulations 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, and are subject to applicable limitations and restrictions as set forth in the credit agreement governing the Company’s debt obligations. 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 stock repurchase programs for the fiscal periods noted.

14.  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 can 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.

The following table provides information as of March 26, 2017 with respect to the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the 2013 Plan:

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

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.

On January 5, 2017 and February 24, 2017, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps, with notional amounts of $20,000 and $30,000, respectively. As a result, the Company was a party to three interest rate swaps as of March 26, 2017, including the aforementioned $20,000 interest rate swap (“Swap A”) and the $30,000 interest rate swap (“Swap B”), as well as a historical interest rate swap that was de-designated on November 26, 2012 and terminates on May 24, 2017. Swap A and Swap B are designated hedges.

Swap A and Swap B each fix LIBOR at 1.94% for the respective amount of variable rate borrowings for the five-year period beginning May 24, 2017. In accordance with hedge accounting, Swap A and Swap B are reflected on the balance sheet at fair value with a corresponding balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and impact earnings commensurate with the forecasted transaction.

For the nine months ended March 26, 2017 and March 27, 2016, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value (including the Level 2 interest rate swaps discussed above) had an insignificant impact to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, the Company has provided no further fair value disclosures. Additionally, there were no transfers into or out of the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

18.  Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Variable Interest Entities

The Company currently maintains investments in three entities classified as unconsolidated affiliates: PAL; U.N.F. Industries Ltd. (“UNF”); and UNF America LLC (“UNFA”). As of March 26, 2017, the Company’s investment in PAL was $114,343 and the Company’s combined investments in UNF and UNFA were $3,567, each of which is reflected within investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Parkdale America, LLC

PAL is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes.  The Company accounts for its investment in PAL using the equity method of accounting.  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.  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 26, 2017, PAL had no futures contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

The reconciliation between the Company’s share of the underlying equity of PAL and its investment is as follows:

Raw material and production services for UNF are provided by the Company’s 50% joint venture partner 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

Raw material and production services for UNFA are provided by the Company’s 50% joint venture partner under separate supply and services agreements.  UNFA’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 UNFA, the Company entered into a supply agreement with UNF and UNFA whereby the Company agreed to purchase all of its first quality nylon POY requirements for texturing (subject to certain exceptions) from either UNF or UNFA.  The agreement has no stated minimum purchase quantities and pricing is negotiated every six months, based on market rates.  As of March 26, 2017, the Company’s open purchase orders related to this agreement were $1,830.

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

As of March 26, 2017 and June 26, 2016, the Company had combined accounts payable due to UNF and UNFA of $2,650 and $3,231, respectively.

The Company has determined that UNF and UNFA are variable interest entities and 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 UNF and UNFA, the two entities’ balance sheets constitute 3% or less of the Company’s current assets, total assets and total liabilities (when excluding reciprocal balances), and

14


Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

 

because such balances are not expected to comprise a larger portion in the future, the Company has not included the accounts of UNF and UNFA in its consolidated financial statements.  The financial results of UNF and UNFA 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 UNFA.

Condensed balance sheet and income statement information for the Company’s unconsolidated affiliates (including reciprocal balances) is presented in the following tables.  PAL is defined as significant and its information is separately disclosed. PAL does not meet the criteria for segment reporting. Depreciation and amortization for PAL for the periods presented includes amounts for PAL’s foreign subsidiaries.

19.  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 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 (the “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 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 clean up the AOCs 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 the Kinston site 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 2004 transaction with Invista that has contamination from DuPont’s operations and is monitored by DENR.  This site has been remediated by DuPont, and DuPont has received authority from DENR to discontinue remediation, other than natural attenuation.  DuPont’s duty to monitor and report to DENR will be transferred to the Company in the future, at which time DuPont must pay the Company for seven years of monitoring and reporting costs and the Company will assume responsibility for any future remediation and monitoring of the site.  At this time, the Company has no basis to determine if or when it will have any responsibility or obligation with respect to the AOCs or the extent of any potential liability for the same.

Operating Leases and Other Commitments

The Company routinely leases sales and administrative office space, warehousing and distribution centers, manufacturing space, transportation equipment, manufacturing equipment, and other information technology and office equipment from third parties.

As of a result of the RR Sale, described in Note 4, “Sale of Renewables,” the Company is no longer an indirect party to approximately $7,300 of future operating lease payments included in Note 24, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements in the 2016 Form 10-K.

The Company has assumed various financial obligations and commitments in the normal course of its operating 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.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, in the normal course of business, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary entered into a contract extension with its electric utility supplier for services to be provided into fiscal 2020 which resulted in an increase of its future purchase obligations of approximately $10,860, as of March 26, 2017, as measured from the amount included in Note 24, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements in the 2016 Form 10-K.

In the course of facilitating the construction of assets for the expansion of the REPREVE® Recycling Center in Yadkinville, North Carolina, the Company will incur commitments to equipment vendors and contractors. As of March 26, 2017, such commitments totaled approximately $1,000.

21.  Business Segment Information

The Company defines operating segments as components of the organization for which discrete financial information is available and operating results are evaluated on a regular basis by the Company’s President, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Characteristics of the organization which were relied upon in making the determination of reportable segments include the nature of the products sold, the organization’s internal structure, the trade policies in the geographic regions in which the Company operates, and the information that is regularly reviewed by the CODM for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources.

The Company’s operating segments are aggregated into three reportable segments based on similarities between the operating segments’ economic characteristics, nature of products sold, type of customer, methods of distribution, and regulatory environment.

 

The operations within the Polyester Segment exhibit similar long-term economic characteristics and sell into an economic trading zone covered by the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) and the Dominican Republic—Central America Free Trade Agreement (“CAFTA-DR”) to similar customers utilizing similar methods of distribution. These operations derive revenues from polyester-based products with sales primarily to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce yarn and/or fabric for the apparel, hosiery, automotive upholstery, home furnishings, industrial and other end-use markets. The Polyester Segment consists of sales and manufacturing operations in the United States and El Salvador.

 

The operations within the Nylon Segment exhibit similar long-term economic characteristics and sell into an economic trading zone covered by NAFTA and CAFTA-DR to similar customers utilizing similar methods of distribution. The Nylon Segment includes an immaterial operating segment in Colombia that sells similar nylon-based textile products to similar customers in Colombia and Mexico utilizing similar methods of distribution. The Nylon Segment manufactures nylon-based products, with sales to knitters and weavers that produce fabric primarily for the apparel and hosiery markets.  The Nylon Segment consists of sales and manufacturing operations in the United States and Colombia.

 

The operations within the International Segment exhibit similar long-term economic characteristics and sell to similar customers utilizing similar methods of distribution in geographic regions that are outside of the NAFTA and CAFTA-DR economic trading zone. The International Segment primarily sells its polyester-based products to knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, automotive upholstery, home furnishings, industrial and other end-use markets primarily in the South American and Asian regions.  The International Segment includes a manufacturing location in Brazil and sales offices in Brazil, China and Sri Lanka.

In addition to the Company’s reportable segments, the selected financial information presented below includes an All Other category. All Other consists primarily of Renewables (up through the date of sale, December 23, 2016) and for-hire transportation services. For-hire transportation services revenue is derived from performing common carrier services utilizing the Company’s fleet of transportation equipment.

The operations within All Other (i) are not subject to review by the CODM at a level consistent with the Company’s other operations, (ii) are not regularly evaluated using the same metrics applied to the Company’s other operations and (iii) do not qualify for aggregation with an existing reportable segment. Therefore, such operations are excluded from reportable segments.

The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon Segment Profit (Loss), which represents segment gross profit (loss) plus segment depreciation expense.  This measurement of segment profit or loss best aligns segment reporting with the current assessments and evaluations performed by, and information provided to, the CODM.

The accounting policies for the segments are consistent with the Company’s accounting policies.  Intersegment sales are omitted from the below financial information, as they are (i) insignificant to the Company’s segments and eliminated from consolidated reporting and (ii) excluded from segment evaluations performed by the CODM.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the Company’s operations, and material changes in financial condition, during the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. A reference to a “note” in this section refers to the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. A reference to the “current period” refers to the three-month period ended March 26, 2017, while a reference to the “prior period” refers to the three-month period ended March 27, 2016.  A reference to the “current nine-month period” refers to the nine-month period ended March 26, 2017, while a reference to the “prior nine-month period” refers to the nine-month period ended March 27, 2016. Such references may be accompanied with certain phrases for added clarity.

Our discussions in this Item 2 are based upon the more detailed discussions about our business, operations and financial condition included in the 2016 Form 10-K.  These discussions focus on our results during, or as of, the third quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal 2017, and the comparable periods of fiscal 2016, and, to the extent applicable, any material changes from the information discussed in the 2016 Form 10-K or other important intervening developments or information.  These discussions should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Form 10-K for more detailed and background information.

Overview and Significant General Matters

The Company’s recent successful performance reflects its core strategic focus: producing the highest-quality innovative and sustainable products for customers around the world. This strategic focus includes a number of supporting pillars, which include: continuously improving all operational and business processes; enriching the product mix by growing sales of higher-margin products; and deriving value from sustainability-based initiatives, including recycled polyester and nylon production. The Company remains committed to these strategic initiatives, which it believes will increase profitability and generate improved cash flows from operations.

The Company has three reportable segments for its operations – the Polyester Segment, the Nylon Segment and the International Segment – as well as certain ancillary operations which comprise an All Other category. The ancillary operations classified within All Other are insignificant for all periods presented; therefore, the Company’s discussion and analysis of those activities is generally limited to their impact on consolidated results, where appropriate.

Significant highlights for the current period include the following items, each of which is outlined in more detail below:

 

Volume, measured by pounds sold, increased by more than 8% for the current period and by more than 10% for the current nine-month period compared to the prior period and prior nine-month period, respectively, driven by strength of the global PVA portfolio;

 

Gross margin was 13.1% for the current period, compared to 14.5% for the prior period, while gross margin was 14.0% for the current nine-month period compared to 13.8% for the prior nine-month period;

 

Operating income was $9,107 for the current period compared to $9,992 for the prior period, and operating income was $30,719 for the current nine-month period compared to $28,308 for prior nine-month period;

 

Net income for the current period was $9,177 compared to $9,689 for the prior period.  Net income for the current period includes a year-over-year decline in earnings from PAL of approximately $1,500.  Net income for the current nine-month period was $23,171 compared to $24,178 for the prior nine-month period.  Net income for the current nine-month period includes a year-over-year decline in earnings from PAL of approximately $2,800 and a $1,662 loss on a non-core divestiture;

 

Basic EPS was $0.50 for the current period compared to $0.54 for the prior period, while Basic EPS was $1.28 for the current nine-month period compared to $1.35 for the prior nine-month period; and

 

REPREVE® Bottle Processing Center expanded potential revenue streams, receiving a Letter of No Objection from the Food and Drug Administration to sell recycled bottle flake for food-grade packaging.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company continuously reviews performance indicators to measure its success.  The following are the key indicators management uses to assess performance of the Company’s business, including certain GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures:

 

sales volume and revenue for the Company and for each of its reportable segments;

 

gross profit and gross margin for the Company and for each of its reportable segments;

 

net income and EPS for the Company;

22


 

 

Segment Profit (Loss), which represents segment gross profit (loss) plus segment depreciation expense;

 

unit conversion margin, which represents unit net sales price less unit raw material costs, for the Company and for each of its reportable segments;

 

working capital, which represents current assets less current liabilities;

 

earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), which represents Net income attributable to Unifi, Inc. before net interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense;

 

Adjusted EBITDA, which represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude equity in earnings of PAL, key employee transition costs, loss on sale of business and certain other adjustments necessary to understand and compare the underlying results of the Company;

 

Adjusted Net Income, which excludes certain amounts which management believes do not reflect the ongoing operations and performance of the Company, such as key employee transition costs and loss on sale of business. Adjusted Net Income represents Net income attributable to Unifi, Inc. calculated under GAAP, adjusted to exclude the approximate after-tax impact of certain income or expense items (as well as specific impacts to the provision for income taxes) necessary to understand and compare the underlying results of the Company;

 

Adjusted EPS, which represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the Company’s basic weighted average common shares outstanding; and

 

Adjusted Working Capital represents receivables plus inventory, less accounts payable and accrued expenses, which is an indicator of the Company’s production efficiency and ability to manage its inventory and receivables.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Working Capital (collectively, the “non-GAAP financial measures”) are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures are subjective, based on management’s belief as to which items should be included or excluded in order to provide the most reasonable and comparable view of the underlying operating performance of the business. The Company may, from time to time, modify the amounts used to determine its non-GAAP financial measures. When applicable, management’s discussion and analysis includes specific consideration for items that comprise the reconciliations of its non-GAAP financial measures.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures better reflect the Company’s underlying operations and performance and that their use, as operating performance measures, provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets, among otherwise comparable companies.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a measurement of operating performance because it assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of (a) items directly related to our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) and (b) items that we would not expect to occur as a part of our normal business on a regular basis; (ii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; (iii) as a valuation measure for evaluating our operating performance and our capacity to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business; and (iv) as one measure in determining the value of other acquisitions and dispositions. Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance metric utilized in the determination of variable compensation. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity, because it serves as a high-level proxy for cash generated from operations and is relevant to our fixed charge coverage ratio. Equity in earnings of PAL is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because such earnings do not reflect our operating performance.

Management uses Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS (i) as measurements of net operating performance because they assist us in comparing such performance on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of (a) items that we would not expect to occur as a part of our normal business on a regular basis and (b) components of the provision for income taxes that we would not expect to occur as a part of our underlying taxable operations; (ii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; and (iii) as measures in determining the value of other acquisitions and dispositions.

Historically, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS aimed to exclude the impact of the non-controlling interest in Renewables, while the consolidated amounts for Renewables were required to be included in the Company’s financial amounts reported under GAAP.

(1)

For the three and nine months ended March 27, 2016, the Company incurred key employee transition costs of $400 and $1,037, respectively, before tax, for transactions in the United States.  The Company estimates the tax benefit of these costs using a 35% tax rate, with no significant deferred tax components.  This includes transactions for Renewables, therefore, the amounts reflected here consider impacts to the valuation allowance and non-controlling interest.

 

(2)

For the nine months ended March 26, 2017, the Company incurred a loss on the sale of its investment in Renewables of $1,662. There is no tax impact for this transaction as the loss is non-deductible.

Consolidated Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the current period decreased by $382, or 0.2%, as compared to the prior period, primarily due to soft domestic market conditions and unfavorable changes in sales mix, offset by strong PVA sales from our international operations.

Consolidated sales volumes increased 8.4%, attributable to continued growth in sales of PVA products in the International Segment. In Brazil, the Company capitalized on expansion of the synthetic yarn market coupled with market share gain due to the shutdown of a competitor in early 2016.  In Asia, the business has grown as brands and retail partners continue to utilize the Company’s global model, providing consistent PVA products to support customers’ global supply chains. The increase in International Segment sales volumes was partially offset by softness in the retail markets covered by NAFTA and CAFTA—DR, which adversely impacted the Polyester and Nylon Segments. As a result of two recent warm winters, weak retail selling seasons and associated inventory accumulation, domestic apparel brands and retailers continued a cautious ordering level throughout fiscal 2017, which led to sales volume declines for the Company’s domestic operations compared to the prior period.

Consolidated average sales prices decreased 8.4%, primarily attributable to (i) an unfavorable change in sales mix due to lower sales volumes of higher-priced textured, dyed and beamed yarns and higher sales volumes of lower-priced plastic bottle flake, Chip and POY in the Polyester Segment, (ii) lower Nylon Segment volumes and (iii) lower average selling prices in certain sectors of the International Segment due to an increase in staple fiber sales, partially offset by net favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $4,600 and an increase in PVA product sales, especially in the International Segment.  PVA products at the end of fiscal 2016 comprised 35% of net sales and the Company is on pace to achieve 10% to 15% PVA sales growth in fiscal 2017.

Consolidated Gross Profit

Gross profit for the current period decreased by $2,234, or 9.6%, as compared to the prior period, primarily due to (i) an inherent lag in implementing selling price adjustments for Polyester customers in response to recently rising virgin polyester raw material costs and (ii) a lower average selling price product mix, with lower sales volumes of higher-priced textured, dyed and beamed yarns and higher sales volumes of lower-priced plastic bottle flake, Chip and POY. These impacts were partially offset by (i) an overall increase in sales volumes, (ii) strong growth in PVA products, especially in the International Segment and (iii) net favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $900.

Net sales for the current period

The decrease in net sales for the Polyester Segment was attributable to lower sales prices as a result of an unfavorable change in sales mix due to lower sales volumes of higher-priced textured, dyed and beamed yarns and higher sales volumes of lower-priced plastic bottle flake, Chip and POY. Decreased sales volumes were primarily attributable to the challenging conditions in the domestic apparel market.  Heightened focus on inventory management and cautious ordering patterns by brands have resulted in significant headwinds for the textured polyester business where volumes have declined 5% versus the prior period.  However, sales volumes for the entire Polyester Segment increased 2.1%.

The decrease in Segment Profit for the Polyester Segment was attributable to (i) a reduction in conversion margin resulting from increased virgin polyester raw material prices and (ii) the unfavorable change in sales mix described in the net sales analysis above. Underlying margins were also unfavorably impacted by start-up costs for the REPREVE® Bottle Processing Center. These items were partially offset by the profit generated from the increased sales volumes described above.

Polyester Segment net sales and Segment Profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 56.1% and
47.4%, respectively, for the current period, compared to 61.4% and 59.2%, respectively, for the prior period.

Net sales for the current period

 

$

The increase in net sales for the International Segment was attributable to (i) higher sales volumes at our Brazilian subsidiary due to increased demand for synthetic yarns, including air-covered PVA products for use in applications such as stretch denim, (ii) higher sales volumes at our Chinese subsidiary, which benefited from growth of PVA sales and the transition of certain programs from the Nylon Segment and (iii) favorable foreign currency translation due to the strengthening of the Brazilian Real (using a weighted average exchange rate of 3.14 Real/U.S. Dollar and 3.88 Real/U.S. Dollar for the current period and the prior period, respectively). These benefits were partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price in China due to (i) a greater mix of lower-priced staple fiber sales to several yarn manufacturers for a PVA apparel program and (ii) unfavorable foreign currency translation from the Chinese Renminbi.

SG&A expenses for the current period

 

$

13,000

 

 

Total SG&A expenses were higher for the current period compared to the prior period, primarily as a result of (i) a net increase in fees paid to external service providers, including legal, audit, tax, consulting, marketing and branding services and (ii) an increase due to foreign currency translation, primarily due to the strengthening of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar. These increases were partially offset by various decreases, primarily employee-related costs and non-income related taxes.

Consolidated (Benefit) Provision for Bad Debts

The benefit to the current period reflects a decrease in the reserve against specifically identified customer balances in the Polyester Segment.

Consolidated Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net

The change in other operating (income) expense, net is primarily attributable to foreign currency transaction gains in the current period compared to foreign currency transaction losses and key employee transition costs in the prior period.

The Company’s 34% share of PAL’s earnings decreased in the current period versus the prior period, which was primarily attributable to lower volumes and operating margins, mostly as a result of a challenging domestic cotton market.  The earnings from the nylon joint ventures experienced a decrease primarily due to softness in the nylon market, consistent with the results of the Nylon Segment, as well as higher raw material costs.

%

 

The effective tax rates for the periods presented above are lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign income being taxed at lower rates and a decrease in the valuation allowance for the Company’s investment in PAL, partially offset by losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized and state and local income taxes net of federal benefits. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 26, 2017 includes the benefit of increased research and development credits, partially offset by a corresponding reduction in the domestic production activities deduction.

Consolidated Net Income Attributable to Unifi, Inc.

Net income attributable to Unifi, Inc. for the current period was $9,177, or $0.50 per basic share, compared to $9,689, or $0.54 per basic share, for the prior period.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the factors described in the discussions above, including (i) lower gross profit, (ii) higher SG&A expenses and (iii) lower earnings from both PAL and the nylon joint ventures, partially offset by (a) a lower effective tax rate, (b) the recognition of a benefit for bad debts and (c) foreign exchange favorability.

Consolidated Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the current nine-month period decreased by $3,759, or 0.8%, as compared to the prior nine-month period, primarily due to soft domestic market conditions and unfavorable changes in sales mix, partially offset by strong PVA sales from our international operations.

Consolidated sales volumes increased 10.7%, attributable to continued growth in sales of PVA products in the International Segment and increased sales of plastic bottle flake, Chip and POY in the Polyester Segment. In Brazil, the Company capitalized on expansion of the synthetic yarn market coupled with market share gain due to the shutdown of a competitor in early 2016.  In Asia, the business has grown as global brands and retail partners continue to utilize the Company’s global model, providing consistent PVA products to support customers’ global supply chains. The increase in International Segment sales volumes was partially offset by softness in certain sectors of the domestic retail market adversely impacting the Polyester and Nylon Segments. Two recent warm winters and weak retail selling seasons, along with associated inventory accumulation caused domestic apparel brands and retailers to be cautious with orders during fiscal 2017.

Consolidated sales pricing decreased 11.4%, attributable to changes in the sales mix in our reportable segments, including (i) the transition of certain programs to the International Segment from the Nylon Segment (where the transitioned products carry a lower average selling price), (ii) a mix impact within the Polyester Segment due to a higher proportion of lower-priced polyester product sales, (iii) a mix impact from relative volume weakness for nylon products that typically carry a higher selling price and (iv) an increase in staple fiber sales in the International Segment for certain PVA apparel programs. The decrease in consolidated sales pricing was partially offset by increased sales of PVA products and a benefit from net favorable foreign currency translation compared to the prior nine-month period of approximately $7,900, primarily associated with the comparative increase in value of the Brazilian Real.

Consolidated Gross Profit

Gross profit for the current nine-month period was essentially flat as compared to the prior nine-month period, primarily due to (i) the increase in PVA product sales in the International Segment, (ii) an improvement in per-unit manufacturing costs for our subsidiary in Brazil due to increased volumes and (iii) net favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $1,300.  These benefits were partially offset as gross profit for the Polyester and Nylon Segments decreased due to (i) lower sales volumes, (ii) start-up costs

30


 

associated with the new REPREVE® Bottle Processing Center in Reidsville, North Carolina and (iii) a lag in implementing selling price adjustments for customers in connection with recent increases in raw material costs.

The increase in net sales for the International Segment was attributable to (i) higher sales volumes of manufactured product at our Brazilian subsidiary due to increased demand for synthetic yarns, including air-covered PVA products for use in applications such as stretch denim, (ii) higher sales volumes at our Chinese subsidiary, which benefited from growth of PVA sales and the transition of certain programs from the Nylon Segment and (iii) favorable foreign currency translation due to the strengthening of the Brazilian Real (using a weighted average exchange rate of 3.22 Real/U.S. Dollar and 3.74 Real/U.S. Dollar for the current nine-month period and the prior nine-month period, respectively). These benefits were partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price in China due to (i) a greater mix of lower-priced staple fiber sales to several yarn manufacturers for a PVA apparel program and (ii) unfavorable foreign currency translation from the Chinese Renminbi.

The increase in Segment Profit for the International Segment was attributable to (i) increased sales volumes, as described in the net sales analysis above, (ii) improved margins in Brazil based on a greater mix of higher-margin manufactured products (including PVA products) versus resale products and improved cost efficiency associated with greater production volumes and (iii) net favorable foreign currency translation effects due to the strengthening of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar.

International Segment net sales and Segment Profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 26.6% and 40.9%, respectively, for the current nine-month period, compared to 17.8% and 22.4%, respectively, for the prior nine-month period.

SG&A expenses for the current nine-month period

Total SG&A expenses were higher for the current nine-month period compared to the prior nine-month period, primarily as a result of (i) a net increase in fees paid to external service providers, including legal, audit, tax, consulting, marketing and branding services, (ii) an increase in supplemental retirement plan expenses driven by comparatively stronger performance of the equity index benchmark and (iii) an increase in foreign currency translation primarily due to the strengthening of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by a decrease in non-income related taxes and other net decreases, consisting primarily of employee-related costs.

Consolidated (Benefit) Provision for Bad Debts

The benefit to the current nine-month period reflects a decrease in the reserve against specifically identified customer balances in the Polyester and International Segments.

Consolidated Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net

The change in other operating (income) expense, net is primarily attributable to foreign currency transaction gains in the current nine-month period compared to foreign currency transaction losses and key employee transition costs in the prior nine-month period.

Interest on debt obligations increased in the current nine-month period compared to the prior nine-month period in connection with an increase in the weighted average interest rate from 2.6% to 2.8%. The increase in the average debt balance from $130,100 to $131,600 is insignificant.

The change in other components of interest expense from the prior nine-month period is primarily attributable to (i) an increase in capitalized interest, driven by a comparatively longer construction period for capital projects, and (ii) a more favorable change in the mark-to-market adjustment for the interest rate swap.

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

Loss on Sale of Business

On December 23, 2016, the Company, through a wholly owned foreign subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell its 60% equity ownership interest in Renewables to the existing third-party joint venture partner for $500 in cash. In connection with the transaction, the Company recognized a loss on sale of business.

The Company’s 34% share of PAL’s earnings decreased in the current nine-month period versus the prior nine-month period, which was primarily attributable to lower volumes and operating margins, mostly as a result of a challenging domestic cotton market.  The earnings from the nylon joint ventures experienced a decrease primarily due to softness in the nylon market, consistent with the results of the Nylon Segment.

The effective tax rates for the periods presented above are lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate due to foreign income being taxed at lower rates and a decrease in the valuation allowance for the Company’s investment in PAL, partially offset by losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized and state and local income taxes net of federal benefits. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 26, 2017 includes the benefit of increased research and development credits, partially offset by a corresponding reduction in the domestic production activities deduction.

Consolidated Net Income Attributable to Unifi, Inc.

Net income attributable to Unifi, Inc. for the current nine-month period was $23,171, or $1.28 per basic share, compared to $24,178, or $1.35 per basic share, for the prior nine-month period.  The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) a $1,662 loss on sale of business recorded for the sale of Renewables, (ii) lower earnings from both PAL and the nylon joint ventures and (iii) an increase in SG&A expenses, partially offset by (a) the recognition of a benefit for bad debts, (b) a lower effective tax rate and (c) foreign exchange favorability.

 

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 the ABL Revolver, as described below.  For the current nine-month period, cash generated from operations was $29,286, and at March 26, 2017, excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $66,970.  Net debt was $104,184 at March 26, 2017, compared to $106,366 at June 26, 2016.

As of March 26, 2017, all of the Company’s $134,415 of debt obligations was guaranteed by certain of its domestic operating subsidiaries, while nearly all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was held by its foreign subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents held by such other subsidiaries may not be presently available to fund the Company’s domestic capital requirements, including its domestic debt obligations. 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.

ABL Facility

On March 26, 2015, the Company and its subsidiary, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended, 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 a term loan that can be reset up to a maximum amount of $100,000, once per fiscal year, if certain conditions are met (the “ABL Term Loan”). Such a principal increase occurred in November 2016. The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020.

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. 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

35


 

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 variable rates based on a margin applied to a benchmark rate. There is also a monthly unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25%.

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.

If excess availability under the ABL Revolver falls below the Trigger Level (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), 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. As of March 26, 2017, excess availability was $66,970 and the Trigger Level was $24,688.  The fixed charge coverage ratio at March 26, 2017 was 0.72 to 1.0. Management maintains the capability to quickly and easily improve the fixed charge coverage ratio utilizing existing cash resources.

As of March 26, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants and the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $66,970.  The Company had $400 of standby letters of credit, none of which have been drawn upon. 

Construction Financing

In December 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party lender that provided for construction-period financing for certain build-to-suit assets. During the construction period, the Company recorded project costs to construction in progress and the corresponding liability to construction financing (within long-term debt).

As of March 26, 2017, construction was complete and the project costs were reclassified from construction in progress to capital lease assets. Accordingly, the principal balance of $13,235 is reflected within capital lease obligations, with $2,698 included in current maturities, and will amortize over 60 monthly payments with an interest rate of 3.8%.

Repreve Renewables, LLC

In September 2015, Renewables entered into a secured debt financing arrangement, having a borrowing capacity of $4,000, and subsequently borrowed $4,000 against such arrangement in October 2015. In connection with the agreement to sell the Company’s 60% equity ownership interest in Renewables, the Company deconsolidated the corresponding assets and liabilities. The Company has no joint and several liability for such debt.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents reflects the strong performance of the Company’s international subsidiaries. The increase in receivables, net is primarily attributable to (i) higher sales in our Asian operations and (ii) a reduction in reserves. The increase in inventories is primarily attributable to higher raw material costs, a higher import duty rate in Brazil and higher quantities in our international subsidiaries in support of increased sales. The increase in other current assets is primarily attributable to an increase in income taxes receivable primarily due to the favorable depreciation provisions of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 and an increase in research and development credits. The change in accounts payable reflects the timing of vendor payments and purchasing activity. The decrease in accrued expenses is primarily attributable to the payment of amounts (i) for variable compensation earned in fiscal 2016 and (ii) to former executive officers. The increase in other current liabilities is related to the short-term portion of a capital lease obligation that commenced in the current period and an increase in the current portion of the ABL Term

37


 

Loan due to the provisions of the principal reset completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Both working capital and Adjusted Working Capital are within the ranges anticipated by management.

Capital Projects

During the current nine-month period, the Company invested approximately $34,500 in capital projects. The most significant investments, in addition to maintenance, include: (i) the expansion of the REPREVE® Recycling Center in Yadkinville, North Carolina to accommodate a fourth production line, (ii) the construction of assets for production of specialized fibers in partnership with Eastman Chemical Company and (iii) the completion of the new REPREVE® Bottle Processing Center in Reidsville, North Carolina, all within the Polyester Segment. The REPREVE® Recycling Center expansion is intended to increase the Company’s capacity to produce recycled products for existing operations and potential markets. Both REPREVE® projects are centered around supporting the growing focus on recycling and sustainability, especially with the REPREVE® brand and its expanding portfolio.

Through the remainder of fiscal 2017, the Company expects to invest approximately an additional $5,500 in capital projects (for an anticipated total of $40,000 for the fiscal year), which includes (i) nearing completion of the fourth REPREVE® Recycling Center production line and (ii) additional machinery modifications to meet the ever-changing demands of the market and to support growth from the Company’s strategy to provide PVA products globally. The Polyester Segment is the primary beneficiary of these investments.

The Company will seek to ensure maintenance capital expenditures are sufficient to allow continued production at high efficiencies. As the new REPREVE® Bottle Processing Center reaches full production, the Company’s goal is to continue support for REPREVE® by securing a stream of high-quality raw materials (in the form of plastic bottle flake). This, combined with technology advancements in recycling that will be incorporated into the fiscal 2017 recycling expansion, will enhance the Company’s ability to grow REPREVE® into other markets such as nonwovens, carpet fiber and packaging.

The total amount ultimately invested for fiscal 2017 could be more or less depending on the timing and scale of contemplated initiatives and is expected to be funded by a combination of cash from operations, borrowings under the ABL Revolver and new capital lease obligations.  The Company expects recent capital projects undertaken to provide benefits to future profitability. The additional assets from these capital projects consist primarily of machinery and equipment.

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

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company made no repurchases of its shares of common stock during the current period. As of March 26, 2017, the Company had repurchased a total of 3,147 shares, at an average price of $23.01 (for a total of $72,438, inclusive of commission costs), since January 2013, pursuant to its two Board-approved stock repurchase programs. As of March 26, 2017, approximately $27,600 remained available for repurchases under the current Board-approved stock repurchase program.

Liquidity Summary

The Company has met its historical liquidity requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements and other operating needs from its cash flows from operations and available borrowings.  The Company 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 current foreign operations, the Company expects its existing cash balances and cash provided by operating activities to provide the needed liquidity to fund its foreign operating and investing activities. However, if the Company expands its foreign asset base, it may require cash from its domestic sources.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $38,243 for the prior nine-month period to $29,286 for the current nine-month period. The significant components of cash provided by operating activities are summarized below.

Subtotal eliminates fluctuations caused by changes in equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and loss on sale of business. This calculation is not intended to represent a GAAP measure. 

 

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to an increase in working capital in the current nine-month period, as indicated in the Other changes above. Such increase in working capital is primarily attributable to an increase in receivables and inventories due to comparatively higher international sales and an increase in raw materials costs. The remaining change in net cash provided by operating activities relates to the timing of income tax payments and benefits for the Company’s domestic operations, primarily related to the favorable depreciation provisions of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 and an increase in research and development credits. Lastly, as PAL’s performance is comparatively weaker, routine tax distributions received by the Company have declined accordingly.

Cash Used in Investing Activities and Cash Provided by Financing Activities

The Company utilized $28,054 (net) for investing activities and received $12,288 (net) from financing activities during the current nine-month period.

Significant investing activities include $27,875 for capital expenditures, which primarily relate to the addition of machinery, equipment and infrastructure, especially for REPREVE®, and most notably for the Company’s new REPREVE® Bottle Processing Center in Reidsville, North Carolina, and for the fourth REPREVE® Recycling Center production line in Yadkinville, North Carolina as described above under the heading “—Capital Projects.”

Significant financing activities include $12,150 for net borrowings against the ABL Facility. These borrowings helped fund the investing activities described above.

Contractual Obligations

The Company has incurred various financial obligations and commitments in the normal course of its operating 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.

Changes to the Company’s obligations via various debt and financing arrangements during the current period have been outlined in Note 10, “Long-Term Debt” and Note 19, “Commitments and Contingencies,” with supplemental discussions above in this Item 2.

There have been no further material changes in the scheduled maturities of the Company’s contractual obligations as disclosed in the table under the heading “Contractual Obligations” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the 2016 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.

39


 

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 the 2016 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, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and changes in raw material and commodity costs, which may adversely affect its financial position, results of operations or 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 26, 2017, the Company had borrowings under its ABL Revolver and ABL Term Loan that totaled $108,600 and contained variable rates of interest; however, the Company hedges a portion of such interest rate variability using an interest rate swap.  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 26, 2017 would result in an increase of $293 in annual interest expense.

Foreign 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 rate 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 26, 2017, the Company had no material outstanding foreign forward currency contracts.

A significant portion of raw materials purchased by the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary is denominated in U.S. Dollars, requiring the Company to regularly exchange Brazilian Real. During recent fiscal years, and most notably in fiscal 2015, the Company was negatively impacted by a devaluation of the Brazilian Real. However, in recent quarters, the Brazilian Real has been relatively stable in relation to the U.S. Dollar.  Predicting fluctuations in the Brazilian Real is impracticable.

As of March 26, 2017, the Company’s subsidiaries outside the United States, whose functional currency is other than the U.S. Dollar, held approximately 14% 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 26, 2017, $26,738, or 88%, of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was held outside the United States, of which approximately $21,570 was held in U.S. Dollar equivalents.

Raw Material and Commodity Risks

A significant portion of the Company’s raw materials and energy costs is 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. While recently proposed changes to the U.S. tax code may impact the Company, the degree of impact from any potentially enacted legislation cannot be predicted.

40


 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

As of March 26, 2017, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 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 its principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal 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 SEC 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.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 26, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

The Company is from time to time a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record reserves when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors from those disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2016 Form 10-K.
