Unifi Announces Fourth Quarter Results

          GREENSBORO, N.C. — July 29, 2010 — Unifi, Inc. (NYSE:UFI) today released preliminary operating results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 27, 2010. The Company reported net income of $5.5 million or $0.09 per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to a net loss of $6.3 million or $0.10 per share for the prior year June quarter. Net sales for the fourth quarter were $177 million, an increase of $37.1 million or 26.6% compared to net sales of $140 million for the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $14.1 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $9.6 million for the prior year quarter.

          For the 2010 fiscal year, net income was $10.7 million or $0.18 per share, which represents the Company’s first profitable year since fiscal 2000 and an improvement of $59.7 million or $0.97 per share, from the prior year period. Highlights for the 2010 fiscal year include:

• Net sales increased by $63.1 million or 11.4 percent to $616.8 million, reflecting retail sales improvements in the Company’s core apparel, home furnishings and automotive categories;

• Gross profit increased by $43.0 million, reflecting the benefits of higher capacity utilization and the Company’s focus on continuous improvement across the organization; and

          Ron Smith, Chief Financial Officer for Unifi, said, “Our volumes continued to strengthen during the June quarter as a result of improvements in retail sales, which continue to show signs of recovery and positive regional sourcing trends. Results for the quarter were also positively impacted by the Company’s share of earnings in Parkdale America, as well as continued improvements in our operations in Brazil and China.”

          Cash-on-hand at June 27, 2010 was $42.7 million, a decrease of $9.8 million from the end of the prior quarter, as cash generated by operations funded investments in capital expenditures, the startup of REPREVE™ Renewables LLC and the Company’s semi-annual interest payment. During the fourth quarter, the Company also announced redemption of $15 million of its 11.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2014, which it successfully completed after year-end.

          “The management team, put into place in October 2007, has done an outstanding job of developing and implementing the strategies that successfully led the Company through the recession and produced our first profitable year in ten years,” said Bill Jasper, President and CEO of Unifi. “Our consistent focus on market share, cost control, lean manufacturing and statistical process control, coupled with market improvements across our major segments, has enabled the Company to exceed its financial and operational goals for the year. As we continue to drive these efforts, we expect to maintain these gains and achieve additional improvements during the 2011 fiscal year.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

          Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America because management believes such measures are useful to investors.

     Adjusted EBITDA

          Adjusted EBITDA represents net income or loss before income tax expense, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization expense and loss or income from discontinued operations, adjusted to exclude equity in earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates, write down of long-lived assets and unconsolidated affiliate, non-cash compensation expense net of distributions, gains or losses on sales or disposals of property, plant and equipment, currency and hedging gains and losses, gain on extinguishment of debt, goodwill impairment, restructuring charges and recoveries, asset consolidation and optimization expense, gain from the sale of nitrogen credits, UCA startup costs, and Kinston shutdown expenses. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our operating performance and ability to service debt. We also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe such measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry and in measuring the ability of “high-yield” issuers to meet debt service obligations.

          Adjusted EBITDA is an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this performance measure. Our 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) unusual 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 also a key performance metric utilized in the determination of variable compensation for our employees pursuant to their compensation arrangements.

          We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure 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. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity, because cash expenditures on interest are, by definition, available to pay interest, and tax expense is inversely correlated to interest expense because tax expense goes down as deductible interest expense goes up; depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges. Equity in earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates is excluded because such earnings or losses do not reflect our operating performance. The other items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are excluded in order to better reflect the performance of our continuing operations.

          In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

-continued-

Unifi Announces Fourth Quarter Results — page 9

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
-continued-

          Our Adjusted EBITDA measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

     • it does not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

     • it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

     • it does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

     • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and our Adjusted EBITDA measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

     • it is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;

     • it does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not indicative of our ongoing operations;

     • it does not reflect limitations on or costs related to transferring earnings from our subsidiaries to us; and

     • other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

          Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations, including those under the notes. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
