PART I

Item 1. Business

Unifi, Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1969 (together with its subsidiaries, “UNIFI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a multi-national company that manufactures and sells innovative synthetic and recycled products made from polyester and nylon primarily to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive, industrial and other end-use markets. UNIFI’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 varieties are made from both pre-consumer and post-consumer waste, including plastic bottles. UNIFI’s nylon products include textured, solution dyed and spandex covered yarns.

UNIFI 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 principal geographic markets in the Americas and Asia.

UNIFI 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 significant unconsolidated affiliate that produces cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the global textile industry and apparel market. We believe the investment in PAL provides strategic diversification for UNIFI’s overall business in response to global textile trends. PAL is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes.

UNIFI has three reportable segments:

• The Polyester Segment sells polyester-based products primarily to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce yarn and/or fabric for the apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive, industrial and other end‑use markets.  The Polyester Segment consists of sales and manufacturing operations in the United States and El Salvador.

• The Nylon Segment sells nylon-based products 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 International Segment sells polyester-based products to knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, home furnishings, automotive, industrial and other end-use markets primarily in South America and Asia.  The International Segment includes a manufacturing location in Brazil and sales offices in Brazil, China and Sri Lanka.

Other information for UNIFI’s reportable segments is provided in Note 25, “Business Segment Information,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  In addition to UNIFI’s reportable segments, UNIFI conducts certain ancillary operations that include for-hire transportation services, which comprise an All Other category. The ancillary operations classified within All Other are immaterial to UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

Operating and Strategic Overview

UNIFI reported net income of $32,875, or $1.81 per basic share, for fiscal 2017. Such results reflect growth in sales of PVA products, especially in the International Segment, which was partially offset by (i) a difficult domestic environment, (ii) increased selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for strategic planning, talent acquisition and commercial expansion and (iii) lower earnings from equity affiliates. Additionally, in fiscal 2017, UNIFI faced periods of fluctuating virgin polyester raw material costs, temporarily depressing the Polyester Segment’s gross margins, but benefited from (a) the recognition of a benefit for bad debts, (b) a lower effective tax rate and (c) favorable foreign currency exchange rates. The International Segment continued strong performance and growth due to the global success of UNIFI’s PVA portfolio, along with the shutdown of a competitor in Brazil in early calendar 2016.  The Polyester and Nylon Segments both experienced a difficult domestic environment, challenged by weak retail selling seasons and cautious ordering patterns from brands and retailers.

2

We believe UNIFI’s successful performance during recent fiscal years reflects the strength of our global initiative to deliver PVA products and solutions to customers and brand partners throughout the world. Our supply chain has been developed and enhanced in multiple regions of the globe, particularly in the Americas and Asia, allowing us to deliver a diverse range of synthetic fibers and polymers to key customers in the markets we serve, especially apparel. These polyester and nylon products are supported by quality assurance, product development and other customer service teams across UNIFI’s operating subsidiaries. We have developed this successful operating platform by: improving operational and business processes; enriching the product mix by growing sales of higher-margin PVA products; and deriving value from sustainability-based initiatives, including polyester and nylon recycling.

This platform has provided favorable results and growth in our core operations during recent fiscal years, and has been augmented by significant capital investments that support the production and delivery of sustainable and innovative solutions. In order to achieve further growth, UNIFI is committed to investing in four strategic and synergistic initiatives:

1. Commercial expansion;

2. Technology and innovation;

3. Strategic partnerships; and

4. People and teams.

Growth in commercial expansion involves capitalizing on the existing operational excellence and brand partnerships that underlie UNIFI’s core competencies. We believe that increasing the awareness for recycled solutions in applications across fibers and polymers, particularly with performance and aesthetic characteristics, and furthering sustainability-based initiatives with like-minded brand partners will be key to our future success. With leading technology for performance yarns and recycling that satisfies today’s consumers, UNIFI intends to continue to grow its commercial capabilities across global markets.

Establishing the existing portfolio of technologies and capabilities was a significant accomplishment, allowing REPREVE^® to grow into a premier synthetic fiber.  We believe that further commercial expansion will require a continued stream of new technology and innovation that generates products with consumer-meaningful benefits. Along with REPREVE^®, the Company has significant yarn technologies that provide optimal performance characteristics for today’s marketplace, including moisture management, temperature moderation, and fire retardation. To achieve further growth, UNIFI plans to invest in expanding technology and innovation, bringing to market the next wave of fibers and polymers for tomorrow’s applications.

Growth will also require strategic partnerships. With a changing retail landscape and a dynamic consumer, brands are demanding fast fashion and localized supply chains. In order to capitalize on these shifts, we expect to identify, qualify and execute partnerships that expand our global footprint in strategic regions. As Central America and Asia remain significant components of the global supply chain, UNIFI will be diligent in exploring partnerships that advance our existing growth platform in these regions.

Properly executing on these initiatives will require investment in UNIFI’s people and teams. With a strong culture of quality and operational excellence, UNIFI will work to further train, develop and expand its teams in order to properly support growth initiatives for future success. We expect this to result in increased SG&A expenses as we invest across the organization and global subsidiaries.

Executing on these initiatives is expected to drive expansion in gross margins and should lead to an increase in revenue and profitability.

Further discussion of the significant components of UNIFI’s recent success and its capital allocation strategies is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Annual Report”).

PVA Products and REPREVE^®

UNIFI remains committed to growing the business for its PVA products and believes its research and development work with brands and retailers continues to create new worldwide sales opportunities.  UNIFI’s goal is to continue to increase its global PVA sales by more than 10% per year to generate overall mix enrichment and margin gains.  UNIFI’s PVA products represented approximately 40% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2017.  The Company’s strategy of enhancing its product mix through a focus on PVA products has helped establish UNIFI as an innovation leader in its core markets and provides some insulation from the pressures of low-priced commodity yarn imports.

3

REPREVE^®, the flagship brand in UNIFI’s PVA portfolio, is also our fastest growing PVA product line.  As part of our efforts to expand consumer brand recognition of REPREVE^®, UNIFI has developed recycling-focused sponsorships with various franchises and entities that span across sporting, music and outdoor events. The increasing success and awareness of the REPREVE^® brand continues to provide new opportunities for growth, allowing us to expand into new end-uses and markets for REPREVE^®, as well as continuing to grow the brand with current customers.  UNIFI has gained traction with global brands and retailers who obtain value and lasting consumer interest from the innovation and sustainability aspects that REPREVE^® provides.

PVA Expansion and Capital Investments

Beginning in fiscal 2015, UNIFI began a significant three-year capital investment plan to increase its PVA capabilities and capacity, expand its technological foundation and customize its asset base to improve its ability to deliver small-lot and high-value solutions.

During fiscal 2017, we invested approximately $40,000 in capital projects (including amounts funded by a construction financing agreement). The most significant project was the completion of the REPREVE^® Bottle Processing Center at UNIFI’s existing facility in Reidsville, North Carolina. This bottle processing plant is expected to convert 2 billion plastic bottles into 75 million pounds of plastic bottle flake annually, to support our growing focus on recycling and sustainability, especially with the REPREVE^® brand and its expanding portfolio. In addition to ongoing maintenance, UNIFI also made investments towards (i) completing the fourth REPREVE^® Recycling Center production line, (ii) installing bi-component spinning machinery to produce specialized high-value yarns and (iii) additional machinery modifications to meet the ever-changing demands of the market, in support of the PVA product portfolio. These investments were primarily for the Polyester Segment.

In fiscal 2018, UNIFI expects to invest an additional $35,000 in capital projects, which include (i) placing equipment in Asia in support of our expanding product portfolio and growth opportunities in that region, (ii) completing the fourth production line in the REPREVE^® Recycling Center, (iii) making further improvements in production capabilities and technology enhancements in the Americas and (iv) annual maintenance capital expenditures.

UNIFI intends to ensure maintenance capital expenditures are sufficient to allow continued high-efficiency production. Our goal for the REPREVE^® Bottle Processing Center is to continue support of REPREVE^® by securing a stream of high-quality raw materials. This, combined with technology advancements in recycling that will be incorporated into the REPREVE^® Recycling Center, will enhance our ability to continue to grow REPREVE^® into other markets, such as nonwovens, carpet fiber and packaging.

In addition to UNIFI’s recent three-year capital investment plan, PAL completed two business combinations in fiscal 2015, in an effort to increase its regional manufacturing capacity and expand its product offerings and customer base.

• In August 2014, PAL paid $10,125 to acquire the remaining 50% ownership interest in a yarn manufacturer based in Mexico in which PAL was historically a 50% holder. PAL recorded acquired net assets of approximately $23,600 from the transaction.

• In February 2015, PAL purchased two U.S. manufacturing facilities, plus inventory, for approximately $13,000 in cash, and entered into a yarn supply agreement with the seller. PAL recorded acquired net assets of approximately $19,400 from the transaction.

4

Stock Repurchases

In addition to capital investments, UNIFI may utilize excess cash for strategic stock repurchases. Pursuant to an initial $50,000 stock repurchase program approved by UNIFI’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in January 2013, UNIFI began periodic strategic repurchases of its common stock.  That $50,000 repurchase program was completed in March 2014. In April 2014, the Board approved a second $50,000 stock repurchase program.  As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had repurchased a total of 3,147 shares, at an average price of $23.01, under these programs, and $27,603 remained available for repurchases under the current program.  UNIFI will continue to evaluate opportunities to use excess cash flow from operations or existing borrowings to repurchase additional stock, while maintaining sufficient liquidity to support its operational needs and fund future strategic growth opportunities.

Developments in Principal Markets

Leading up to fiscal 2017, apparel production experienced multi-year growth in the regions covered by the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) and the Dominican Republic—Central America Free Trade Agreement (“CAFTA-DR”), which comprise the principal markets for UNIFI’s Polyester and Nylon Segments. The share of synthetic apparel production for these regions as a percentage of U.S. retail stabilized at approximately 17% to 18%, while retail consumption grew, especially for apparel made with synthetic yarns. The CAFTA-DR region, which continues to be a competitive alternative to Asian supply chains for textile products, maintained its share of synthetic apparel supply to U.S. retailers. The share of synthetic apparel versus cotton apparel increased and provided growth for the consumption of synthetic yarns within the CAFTA-DR region.

In fiscal 2017, UNIFI’s operations in the NAFTA and CAFTA-DR regions experienced demand declines as the retail and apparel markets experienced difficult conditions characterized by reduced retail traffic, a weak winter selling season and growth in online sales channels. These factors combined to cause bankruptcies, store closures and other transformations for traditional retail enterprises. As consumers demand fast fashion, personalized experiences and omni-channel outlets, the retail market and its supply chain is expected to change. Transformational requirements for the supply chain are not yet clear but will be an integral part of UNIFI’s initiatives going forward.

UNIFI’s Brazilian subsidiary is primarily impacted by price pressures from imported fiber, fabric and finished goods, the inflation rate in Brazil and changes in the value of the Brazilian Real.  In Brazil, UNIFI continues to (i) aggressively pursue mix enrichment by working with customers to develop programs using our differentiated products and our PVA yarns and (ii) implement process improvements and manufacturing efficiency gains to help lower per-unit costs.

UNIFI’s Asian operations remain an important part of UNIFI’s global PVA strategy, enhancing our ability to service customers with global supply chains.  Interest and demand for UNIFI’s PVA products in Asia have helped support strong sales volumes in recent years. We are encouraged by programs undertaken with key brands and retailers that benefit from the diversification and innovation of our global PVA solutions. UNIFI’s operations in China and Sri Lanka experienced strong performance and growth in fiscal 2017. Looking ahead, certain brand partners have expressed additional interest in sourcing UNIFI’s products in Vietnam.

As we expand our global operations, we will continue to evaluate the level of capital investment required to support the needs of our customers and intend to appropriately allocate our resources accordingly.

Industry Overview

UNIFI operates in the textile industry and, within that broad category, the respective markets for yarns, fabrics, fibers and end-use products, such as apparel and hosiery, automotive, industrial products and home furnishings.  Even though the textile industry is global, there are several distinctive regional or other geographic markets that often shape the business strategies and operations of participants in the industry.  Because of free trade agreements and other trade regulations entered into by the U.S. government, the U.S. textile industry, which is otherwise a distinctive geographic market on its own, is often considered in conjunction with other geographic markets or regions in North, South and Central America, such as the regions covered by NAFTA and CAFTA-DR.  The Company’s principal markets for its domestic operations are in the regions covered by NAFTA and CAFTA-DR,

5

which together include the countries of Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and the United States.

According to data compiled by PCI Xylenes & Polyesters, a global leader in research and analysis for the polyester and raw materials markets, global demand for polyester yarns, which includes both filament and staple yarns, has grown steadily since 1980, and, in calendar year 2003, polyester replaced cotton as the fiber with the largest percentage of worldwide sales.  In calendar year 2016, global polyester consumption accounted for an estimated 55% of global fiber consumption, and global demand is projected to increase by approximately 3% to 4% annually through 2020.  In calendar year 2016, global nylon consumption accounted for an estimated 5% of global fiber consumption.  Softness in the U.S. retail markets during fiscal 2017 had an unfavorable impact on UNIFI’s Nylon Segment. Additionally, due to the higher cost of nylon, the industry may transition certain products from nylon to polyester. The polyester and nylon fiber sectors together accounted for approximately 62% of North American textile consumption during calendar year 2016.

According to the National Council of Textile Organizations, the U.S. textile industry’s total shipments were approximately $61.8 billion for calendar year 2016.  During that period, the U.S. textile and apparel industry exported nearly $26.3 billion of textile and apparel products, and exports have grown by approximately 30% since 2009, an increase of over $6.1 billion. The U.S. textile industry remains a large manufacturing employer in the United States.

Trade Regulation and Rules of Origin

The duty rate on imports into the United States of finished apparel categories that utilize polyester and nylon yarns generally range from 16% to 32%. For many years, imports of fabric and finished goods into the United States have increased significantly from countries that do not participate in free trade agreements or trade preference programs, despite duties charged on those imports. The primary drivers for that growth were lower overseas operating costs, foreign government subsidization of textile industries, increased overseas sourcing by U.S. retailers, the entry of China into the World Trade Organization and the staged elimination of all textile and apparel quotas. Although global apparel imports represent a significant percentage of the U.S. market, Regional FTAs (as defined below), which follow general “yarn forward” rules of origin, provide duty free advantages for apparel made from regional fibers, yarns and fabrics, allowing UNIFI opportunities to participate in this growing market.

A significant number of UNIFI’s customers in the apparel market produce finished goods that meet the eligibility requirements for duty-free treatment in the regions covered by NAFTA, CAFTA-DR, and the Colombia and Peru free trade agreements (collectively, the “Regional FTAs”). These Regional FTAs contain rules of origin requirements in order for covered products to be eligible for duty-free treatment. In the case of textiles such as fabric, yarn (such as POY), fibers (filament and staple) and certain garments made from them, the products are generally required to be fully formed within the respective regions. UNIFI is the largest filament yarn manufacturer, and one of the few producers of qualifying synthetic yarns, in the regions covered by these agreements. On May 18, 2017, the Trump Administration formally notified Congress of its intent to renegotiate NAFTA. The United States has a positive trade balance in the textile and apparel sector in NAFTA and the Company anticipates any modifications or updates to the agreement in this sector will not significantly impact textile and apparel trade in the NAFTA region.

U.S. legislation commonly referred to as the “Berry Amendment” stipulates that certain textile and apparel articles purchased by the U.S. Department of Defense must be manufactured in the United States and must consist of yarns and fibers produced in the United States. UNIFI is the largest producer of synthetic yarns for Berry Amendment compliant purchasing programs.

UNIFI refers to fibers sold with specific rules of origin requirements under the Regional FTAs and the Berry Amendment, as “Compliant Yarns.”  Approximately two-thirds of UNIFI’s sales within the Polyester and Nylon Segments are sold as Compliant Yarns under the terms of the Regional FTAs or the Berry Amendment.

UNIFI believes the requirements of the rules of origin and the associated duty-free cost advantages in the Regional FTAs, together with the Berry Amendment and the growing demand for supplier responsiveness and improved inventory turns, will ensure that a portion of the existing textile industry will remain based in the Americas. UNIFI

6

expects that the NAFTA and CAFTA-DR regions will continue to maintain their share of apparel production as a percentage of U.S. retail. UNIFI believes the remaining synthetic apparel production within these regional markets is more specialized and defensible, and, in some cases, apparel producers are bringing programs back to the regions as part of a balanced sourcing strategy for some brands and retailers.  Because UNIFI is the largest of only a few significant producers of Compliant Yarns under these Regional FTAs, one of UNIFI’s business strategies is to continue to leverage its eligibility status for duty-free processing to increase its share of business with regional and domestic fabric producers who ship their products into these regions.

Over the longer term, the textile industry in the NAFTA and CAFTA-DR regions is expected to continue to be impacted by Asian supply chains where costs are much lower and regulation is limited. However, during fiscal 2017, one of the first acts of the Trump Administration was to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, a free trade agreement that could have resulted in significant pressure on the Regional FTA supply chain.

Competition

The industry in which UNIFI operates is global and highly competitive.  UNIFI competes not only as a global yarn producer, but also as part of a regional supply chain for certain textile products.  For sales of Compliant Yarns, UNIFI competes with a limited number of foreign and domestic producers of polyester and nylon yarns.  For sales of non-Compliant Yarns, UNIFI competes with a larger number of foreign and domestic producers of polyester and nylon yarns who can meet the required customer specifications of quality, reliability and timeliness. UNIFI is affected by imported textile, apparel and hosiery products, which adversely impact demand for UNIFI’s polyester and nylon products in certain of its markets.  Several foreign competitors in UNIFI’s supply chain have significant competitive advantages, including lower wages, raw material costs and capital costs, and favorable foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. Dollar, any of which could make UNIFI’s products, or the related supply chains, less competitive. While competitors have traditionally focused on high-volume commodity products, they are now increasingly focused on specialty and PVA products that UNIFI historically has been able to leverage to generate higher margins.

UNIFI’s major competitors for polyester yarns are O’Mara, Inc. and NanYa Plastics Corp. of America (“NanYa”) in the United States; AKRA, S.A. de C.V. in the NAFTA region; and C S Central America S.A. de C.V. in the CAFTA-DR region.  UNIFI’s major competitor in Brazil is Avanti Industria Comercio Importacao e Exportacao Ltda., among other traders of imported yarns and fibers.  UNIFI’s operations in Asia face competition from multiple yarn manufacturers in that region and identification of them is not feasible. However, almost all of our portfolio in that region is advantaged by PVA products.

UNIFI’s major competitors for nylon yarns are Sapona Manufacturing Company, Inc. and McMichael Mills, Inc. in the United States.

Raw Materials, Suppliers and Sourcing

The primary raw material supplier for the Polyester Segment of Chip and POY is NanYa.  For the International Segment, Reliance Industries, Ltd. is the main supplier of POY.  The primary suppliers of POY for the Nylon Segment are HN Fibers, Ltd., U.N.F. Industries Ltd. (“UNF”), UNF America, LLC (“UNFA”), Invista S.a.r.l. (“INVISTA”), Universal Premier Fibers, LLC and Nilit US (“Nilit”).  Each of UNF and UNFA is a 50/50 joint venture between UNIFI and Nilit.  Currently, there are multiple domestic and foreign suppliers available to fulfill UNIFI’s sourcing requirements for its recycled products.

UNIFI produces and buys certain of its raw material fibers for Compliant Yarns from a variety of sources in both the United States and Israel.  UNIFI produces a portion of its Chip requirements in its REPREVE^® Recycling Center and purchases the remainder of its requirements from external suppliers for use in its spinning facility to produce POY.  In addition, UNIFI purchases nylon and polyester products for resale from various suppliers.  Although UNIFI does not generally have difficulty obtaining its raw material requirements, UNIFI has, in the past, experienced interruptions or limitations in the supply of certain raw materials.

7

In addition to the expected benefits to UNIFI’s financial results, the bottle processing facility in Reidsville, North Carolina now provides a high-quality source of plastic bottle flake for the REPREVE^® Recycling Center as well as for sale to external parties. Combined with recent technology advancements in recycling, we believe the bottle flake produced at the bottle processing facility will enhance our ability to grow REPREVE^® into other markets, such as nonwovens, carpet fiber and packaging.

The prices of the principal raw materials used by UNIFI continuously fluctuate, and it is difficult, and often impossible, to predict trends or upcoming developments.  During fiscal 2017, UNIFI operated during a predominantly increasing virgin polyester raw material cost environment.  During fiscal 2016, UNIFI experienced a general decline in raw material prices.  UNIFI believes that polyester raw material cost fluctuations during most of fiscal 2017 were a result of volatility in the crude oil markets. The continuing volatility in global crude oil prices is likely to impact UNIFI’s polyester and nylon raw material costs, but it is not possible to predict the timing or amount of the impact or whether the movement in crude oil prices will stabilize, continue or reverse. In any event, UNIFI monitors these dynamic factors closely.

Products, Technologies and Related Markets

UNIFI manufactures polyester yarn and related products in the United States, El Salvador and Brazil, and nylon yarns in the United States and Colombia, for a wide range of end-uses.  In addition, UNIFI purchases certain yarns and staple fiber for resale to its customers around the globe.  PVA products comprised approximately 40%, 35% and 30% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  UNIFI provides products to a variety of end-use markets, principally apparel, industrial, furnishings and automotive.

The domestic apparel market, which includes hosiery, represents approximately 61% of UNIFI’s domestic sales.  Apparel retail sales, supply chain inventory levels and strength of the regional supply base are vital to this market.  

The domestic industrial market represents approximately 18% of UNIFI’s domestic sales. This market includes medical, belting, tapes, filtration, ropes, protective fabrics and awnings.

The domestic furnishings market, which includes both contract and home furnishings, represents approximately 9% of UNIFI’s domestic sales.  Furnishings sales are largely dependent upon the housing market, which in turn is influenced by consumer confidence and credit availability.

The domestic automotive market represents approximately 7% of UNIFI’s domestic sales and has been less susceptible to import penetration because of the exacting specifications and quality requirements often imposed on manufacturers of automotive fabrics, along with just-in-time delivery requirements.  Effective customer service and prompt response to customer feedback are logistically more difficult for an importer to provide.

UNIFI also adds value to the overall supply chain for textile products, and increases consumer demand for UNIFI’s own products, through the development and introduction of branded yarns and technologies that provide unique sustainability, performance, comfort and aesthetic advantages.  UNIFI’s branded portion of its yarn portfolio continues to provide product differentiation to brands, retailers and consumers, and it includes products such as:

• REPREVE^®, a family of eco-friendly products made from recycled materials.  Since its introduction in 2006, REPREVE^® has been UNIFI’s most successful branded product.  UNIFI’s recycled fibers may also be enhanced, similarly to virgin products, to provide certain performance and/or functional properties to various types of fabrics and end products.

• Sorbtek^®, a permanent moisture management yarn primarily used in performance base-layer applications, compression apparel, athletic bras, sports apparel, socks and other non-apparel related items.

• Reflexx^®, a family of stretch yarns that can be found in a wide array of end-use applications, from home furnishings to performance wear and from hosiery and socks to work wear and denim.

• XS, yarns that take advantage of a non-traditional cross-section construction created during the spinning process. The cross-section is able to provide certain performance and/or functional characteristics in multiple end-uses due to its resulting chemical and physical attributes.

• Cotton-like^®, a soft, lofty yarn that looks and feels like cotton, but offers the superior performance of synthetic fibers and no fading.

• A.M.Y. ^®, a yarn with permanent antimicrobial properties for odor control.

UNIFI’s branded yarns can be found in a variety of products of well-known brands, retailers and department stores, including Ford, Haggar, Polartec, The North Face, Patagonia, Quiksilver, Roxy, Volcom, Perry Ellis, General Motors, Pottery Barn, adidas, Reebok, Nike, New Era, MJ Soffe, Abercrombie & Fitch, Levi’s, H&M, TARGET, Express, Costco Wholesale, REI, Cabela’s, JCPenney, Macy’s, Kohl’s and Belk.

In addition to the above brands and products, UNIFI combines its research and development efforts with the demands of customers and markets to develop innovative technologies that enhance yarn characteristics. Application of these technologies allows for various, separate benefits, including, among other things, water repellency, flame retardation, thermal regulation, enhanced color-fastness achieved with less water use and protection from ultra-violet rays.

Customers

UNIFI’s Polyester Segment has approximately 350 customers, its Nylon Segment has approximately 140 customers and its International Segment has approximately 700 customers, all in a variety of geographic markets.  UNIFI’s products are manufactured according to customer specifications and are shipped based upon customer order requirements.  Customer payment terms are generally consistent across the segments and are based on prevailing industry practices for the sale of yarn domestically or internationally.

UNIFI’s consolidated net sales are not materially dependent on a single customer and no single customer accounts for 10% or more of UNIFI’s consolidated net sales. UNIFI’s top 10 customers accounted for approximately 32% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2017 and approximately 32% of receivables as of June 25, 2017.  UNIFI’s net sales within its Nylon Segment are materially dependent upon a domestic customer that accounted for approximately 35% of the Nylon Segment’s net sales for fiscal 2017.

Sales and Marketing

UNIFI employs an internal sales force of approximately 50 persons operating out of sales offices in the United States, Brazil, China, Sri Lanka, El Salvador, Colombia and Switzerland.  UNIFI relies on independent sales agents for sales in several other countries.  UNIFI seeks to create strong customer relationships and to build and strengthen those relationships throughout the supply chain.  Through frequent communications with customers, partnering with customers in product development and engaging key downstream brands and retailers, UNIFI has created significant pull-through sales and brand recognition for its products.  For example, UNIFI works with brands and retailers to educate and create demand for its PVA products, such as recent engagements involving REPREVE^® at multiple events and venues in the United States.  UNIFI then works with key fabric mill partners to develop specific fabrics for those brands and retailers utilizing its PVA products.  In many of these regards, UNIFI draws upon and integrates the resources of its research and development personnel.  In addition, UNIFI is enhancing co-branding activations with integrated point-of-sale and online marketing with popular brands and retailers to further enable consumers to find REPREVE^® and other PVA brands in multiple retail channels.  Based on the establishment of many commercial and branded programs, this strategy has been successful for UNIFI.

Product Customization and Manufacturing Processes

UNIFI uses advanced production processes to manufacture its high-quality products cost-effectively in North America, Central America and South America.  UNIFI believes that its flexibility and know-how in producing specialty polyester and nylon products provides important development and commercialization advantages, in addition to the recent ability to vertically integrate with post-industrial and post-consumer materials.

UNIFI produces plastic bottle flake, polyester Chip and polyester POY using recycled materials. In addition to its yarns manufactured from virgin polyester and nylon, UNIFI sells its recycled products externally or further processes them internally to add value for customers seeking recycled components. The REPREVE^® Bottle Processing Center in Reidsville, North Carolina produces plastic bottle flake that can be sold externally, or further processed internally using our REPREVE^® Recycling Center in Yadkinville, North Carolina. Recycled polyester Chip output from the REPREVE^® Recycling Center can be sold externally, or further processed internally into polyester POY.

Additional processing of UNIFI’s polyester yarn products includes texturing, package dyeing, twisting, beaming and draw winding.  The texturing process, which is common to both polyester and nylon, involves the use of high-speed machines to draw, heat and false-twist POY to produce yarn with different physical characteristics, depending on its ultimate end-use.  Texturing gives the yarn greater bulk, strength, stretch, consistent dye-ability and a softer feel, thereby making it suitable for use in the knitting and weaving of fabric.  Package dyeing allows for matching of customer-specific color requirements for yarns sold into the automotive fabrics, home furnishings and apparel markets.  Twisting incorporates real twist into filament yarns, which can be sold for a variety of uses, such as sewing thread, home furnishings and apparel.  Beaming places both textured and covered yarns onto beams to be used by customers in warp knitting and weaving applications.  The draw winding process utilizes heat and draws POY to produce mid-tenacity, flat yarns.

Additional processing of UNIFI’s nylon yarn products primarily includes covering and texturing. Covering involves the wrapping or air entangling of filament or spun yarn around a core yarn, primarily spandex.  This process enhances a fabric’s ability to stretch, recover its original shape and resist wrinkles while maintaining a softer feel.

UNIFI’s subsidiaries in Asia offer the same high-quality and innovative PVA products and technologies through contract manufacturing arrangements with local manufacturers. This asset-light model allows for seamless integration of our products into the global supply chain of our customers. As we expand our Asian operations to meet the needs of our global customers, we will continue to leverage the asset-light model where the existing Asian infrastructure can accommodate our highly technical processes, while continually evaluating the need for additional UNIFI assets in response to ever-changing market dynamics.

Research and Development

UNIFI employs approximately 90 persons who work closely with UNIFI’s customers and others to develop a variety of new yarns as well as improvements to the performance properties of existing yarns and fabrics. Among other things, UNIFI evaluates trends and uses the latest technology to create innovative specialty and PVA yarns that meet the needs of evolving consumer preferences.  Most of UNIFI’s branded yarns discussed above, including its flagship REPREVE^® brand, were derived from its research and development initiatives.

UNIFI also includes, as part of its research and development initiatives, the use of continuous improvement methodologies to increase its manufacturing and other operational efficiencies, both to enhance product quality and to derive cost savings.  

For fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, UNIFI incurred $7,177, $6,907 and $8,113, respectively, in costs for research and development (including salaries and benefits of the personnel involved in those efforts).  In fiscal 2016, a portion of the activities traditionally attributed to research and development were allocated to certain of the significant, highly technical capital projects undertaken during that fiscal year.

Intellectual Property

UNIFI has numerous U.S. registered trademarks.  Due to its current brand recognition and potential growth opportunities, UNIFI believes that REPREVE^® is its most significant trademark.  Ownership rights in U.S. registered trademarks do not expire if the trademarks are continued in use and properly protected.

UNIFI licenses certain trademarks, including Dacron^® and Softec™, from INVISTA.

10

Employees

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had approximately 3,000 employees, along with approximately 150 individuals working under temporary labor contracts.  The number of employees in the Polyester Segment, Nylon Segment, International Segment and corporate office were approximately 1,800, 600, 500 and 100, respectively, at June 25, 2017.  While employees of UNIFI’s Brazilian operations are unionized, none of the labor force employed by UNIFI’s domestic or other foreign subsidiaries is currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  UNIFI believes that it has a good relationship with its employees.

Geographic Data

Geographic information reported in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles is included in Note 25, “Business Segment Information,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  Information regarding risks attendant to UNIFI’s foreign operations is included in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Annual Report.

Seasonality

UNIFI is not significantly impacted by seasonality; however, UNIFI typically experiences (i) its highest sales volumes in the third and fourth quarters of its fiscal years and (ii) its lowest gross margins in the first quarter of its fiscal years.  Excluding the effects of fiscal years with 53 weeks rather than 52 weeks, the most significant effects on UNIFI’s results of operations for particular periods during a year are due to planned manufacturing shutdowns by either UNIFI or its customers for certain holiday or traditional shutdown periods, which are not concentrated in any one particular season.

Backlog

UNIFI’s level of unfilled orders is affected by many factors, including the timing of specific orders and the delivery time for specific products, as well as a customer’s ability or inability to cancel the related order.  As such, UNIFI does not consider the amount of unfilled orders, or backlog, to be a meaningful indicator of expected levels of future sales or to be material to an understanding of UNIFI’s business as a whole.

Working Capital

UNIFI funds its working capital requirements through cash flows generated from operations, which it supplements with short-term borrowings, as needed.  For more detailed information, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Annual Report.

Inflation

UNIFI expects costs to continue to rise for certain consumables used to produce and ship its products, as well as for its utilities and certain employee costs and benefits.  While UNIFI attempts to mitigate the impacts of such rising costs through increased operational efficiencies and increased selling prices, inflation could become a factor that negatively impacts UNIFI’s profitability.

Environmental Matters

UNIFI is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations limiting the use, storage, handling, release, discharge and disposal of a variety of hazardous substances and wastes used in or resulting from its operations (and to potential remediation obligations thereunder).  These laws include the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (including provisions relating to underground storage tanks) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, commonly referred to as “Superfund” or “CERCLA,” and various state counterparts to such laws.  UNIFI’s operations are also governed by laws and regulations relating to workplace safety and worker health, principally the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations issued thereunder, which, among other things, establish

11

exposure standards regarding hazardous materials and noise standards, and regulate the use of hazardous chemicals in the workplace.

UNIFI believes that it has obtained, and is in compliance in all material respects with, all significant permits required to be issued by federal, state or local law in connection with the operation of its business.  UNIFI also believes that the operation of its production facilities and its disposal of waste materials are substantially in compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, and that there are no material ongoing or anticipated capital expenditures associated with environmental control facilities necessary to remain in compliance with such provisions.  UNIFI incurs normal operating costs associated with the discharge of materials into the environment, but does not believe that these costs are material or inconsistent with those of its domestic competitors.

On September 30, 2004, UNIFI completed its acquisition of polyester filament manufacturing assets located in Kinston, North Carolina from 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 Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action program.  The program requires DuPont to identify all potential areas of environmental concern (“AOCs”), assess the extent of containment at the identified AOCs and remediate the AOCs to comply with applicable regulatory standards.  Effective March 20, 2008, UNIFI 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 UNIFI of any future responsibility for environmental remediation, other than participation with DuPont, if so called upon, with regard to UNIFI’s period of operation of the Kinston site, which was from 2004 to 2008.  At this time, UNIFI 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.

UNIFI continues to own property acquired in the 2004 transaction with INVISTA that has contamination from DuPont’s operations and is monitored by DEQ.  This site has been remediated by DuPont, and DuPont has received authority from DEQ to discontinue further remediation, other than natural attenuation.  Prior to transfer of responsibility to UNIFI, DuPont has a duty to monitor and report the environmental status of the site to DEQ. UNIFI expects to assume that responsibility in fiscal 2018 and will be entitled to receive from DuPont seven years of monitoring and reporting costs, less certain adjustments. At that time, UNIFI expects to assume responsibility for any future remediation of the site. At this time, UNIFI has no basis to determine if or when it will have any obligation to perform further remediation or the potential cost thereof.

Joint Ventures and Unconsolidated Affiliates

In addition to its 34% ownership in PAL, UNIFI participates in two joint ventures that supply raw materials to the Nylon Segment, with one located in the United States and one in Israel.  As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had $119,513 recorded for these investments in unconsolidated affiliates.  For fiscal 2017, $4,230 of UNIFI’s $43,275 of income before income taxes was generated from its investments in these unconsolidated affiliates, of which $2,723 was attributable to PAL.  Other information regarding UNIFI’s unconsolidated affiliates is provided in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in Note 22, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Variable Interest Entities,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report.

On December 23, 2016, UNIFI, through a wholly owned foreign subsidiary, sold its 60% equity ownership interest in Repreve Renewables, LLC (“Renewables”), an entity focused on the development, production and commercialization of miscanthus grass for use in multiple potential markets, to its existing third-party joint venture partner for $500 in cash and release of certain debt obligations. UNIFI had no continuing involvement in the operations of Renewables subsequent to December 23, 2016. The corresponding results of Renewables, up through the date of sale, are reflected in continuing operations within the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Many of the factors that affect UNIFI’s business and operations involve risk and uncertainty. The factors described below are some of the risks that could materially negatively affect UNIFI’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. You should consider all such risks in evaluating UNIFI or making any investment decision involving UNIFI.

UNIFI faces intense competition from a number of domestic and foreign yarn producers and importers of textile and apparel products. Because UNIFI and the supply chains in which UNIFI operates do not typically operate on the basis of long-term contracts with textile and apparel customers, these competitive factors could cause UNIFI’s customers to shift rapidly to other producers.

UNIFI competes not only against domestic and foreign yarn producers, but also against importers of foreign-sourced fabric and apparel into the United States and other countries in which UNIFI does business (particularly in Brazil with respect to commodity yarn products). The primary competitive factors in the textile industry include price, quality, product styling and differentiation, brand reputation, flexibility of production and finishing, delivery time and customer service. The needs of certain customers and the characteristics of particular products determine the relative importance of these various factors. A large number of UNIFI’s foreign competitors have significant competitive advantages that may include lower labor and raw materials costs, government subsidies and favorable foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. Dollar. If any of these advantages increase, or if new and/or larger competitors emerge in the future, or if UNIFI’s brand reputation is detrimentally impacted, then UNIFI’s products could become less competitive, and its sales and profits may decrease as a result. In particular, devaluation of the Chinese currency against the U.S. Dollar could result in UNIFI’s products becoming less competitive from a pricing standpoint and/or could result in the regions covered by NAFTA and CAFTA-DR losing market share to Chinese imports, thereby adversely impacting UNIFI’s sales and profits. Also, while these foreign competitors have traditionally focused on commodity production, they are now increasingly focused on PVA products, where UNIFI has been able to generate higher margins. UNIFI may not be able to continue to compete effectively with imported foreign-made textile and apparel products, which would materially adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Significant price volatility of UNIFI’s raw materials and rising energy costs may result in increased production costs, which UNIFI may not be able to pass on to its customers or may only be able to pass on with a time lag that adversely affects UNIFI during one or more periods.

A significant portion of UNIFI’s raw materials are derived from petroleum-based chemicals. The prices for petroleum and petroleum-related products and energy costs are volatile and dependent on global supply and demand dynamics, including geo-political risks. While UNIFI enters into raw material supply agreements from time to time, these agreements typically provide index pricing based on quoted market prices. Therefore, supply agreements provide only limited protection against price volatility. While UNIFI has, at times in the past, been able to increase

13

sales prices in response to increased raw material costs, UNIFI has not always been able to do so. UNIFI has lost in the past (and expects that it may lose in the future) customers to its competitors as a result of price increases. In addition, competitors may be able to obtain raw materials at a lower cost due to market regulations that favor local producers in certain foreign locations where UNIFI operates, and certain other market regulations that favor UNIFI over other producers may be amended or repealed. Additionally, inflation can have a long-term impact by increasing the costs of materials, labor and/or energy, any of which costs may adversely impact UNIFI’s ability to maintain satisfactory margins. If UNIFI is not able to fully pass on such cost increases to customers in a timely manner (or if it loses a large number of customers to competitors as a result of price increases), the result could be material and adverse to its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Depending on the price volatility of UNIFI’s petroleum-based raw materials, the price gap between virgin raw materials and recycled bottle flake could make virgin raw materials more cost-effective than recycled raw materials, which could result in an adverse effect on UNIFI’s ability to sell its REPREVE^® brand recycled products profitably.

UNIFI depends upon limited sources for certain of its raw materials, and interruptions in supply could increase its costs of production, cause production inefficiencies or lead to a halt in production.

UNIFI depends on a limited number of third parties for certain raw material supplies, such as POY, Chip and recycled plastic bottles. Although alternative sources of raw materials exist, UNIFI may not be able to obtain adequate supplies of such materials on acceptable terms, or at all, from other sources. UNIFI is dependent on NAFTA, CAFTA-DR andBerry Amendment qualified suppliers of raw materials for the production of Compliant Yarns. These suppliers are also at risk with their raw material supply chains. Any significant disruption or curtailment in the supply of any of its raw materials could cause UNIFI to reduce or cease its production for an extended period, or require UNIFI to increase its pricing, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

UNIFI has significant foreign operations, and its consolidated results of operations may be adversely affected by the risks associated with doing business in foreign locations, including the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

UNIFI has operations in Brazil, China, Colombia, El Salvador and Sri Lanka, and participates in a joint venture located in Israel. UNIFI serves customers throughout the Americas and Asia, as well as various countries in Europe. UNIFI’s foreign operations are subject to certain political, tax, economic and other uncertainties not encountered by its domestic operations that can materially impact UNIFI’s supply chains or other aspects of its foreign operations. The risks of international operations include trade barriers, duties, exchange controls, national and regional labor strikes, social and political unrest, general economic risks, compliance with a variety of foreign laws (including tax laws), the difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through foreign legal systems, taxes on distributions or deemed distributions to UNIFI or any of its U.S. subsidiaries, maintenance of minimum capital requirements, and import and export controls. UNIFI’s results of operations and business could be adversely affected as a result of a significant adverse development with respect to any of these risks.

Through its foreign operations, UNIFI is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will impact period-to-period comparisons of UNIFI’s reported results. Additionally, UNIFI operates in countries with foreign exchange controls. These controls may limit UNIFI’s ability to transfer funds from its international operations and joint venture or otherwise to convert local currencies into U.S. Dollars. These limitations could adversely affect UNIFI’s ability to access cash from these operations.

In addition, due to its foreign operations, a risk exists that UNIFI’s employees, contractors or agents could engage in business practices prohibited by U.S. laws applicable to the Company, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the laws and regulations of other countries, such as the Brazilian Clean Companies Act.  UNIFI maintains policies prohibiting these practices, but it remains subject to the risk that one or more of its employees, contractors or agents, specifically ones based in or from countries where such practices are customary, will engage in business practices in violation of these laws and regulations.  Any such violations, even if in breach of UNIFI’s policies, could adversely affect its business or financial performance.

14

UNIFI’s future success will depend in part on its ability to protect its intellectual property rights, and UNIFI’s inability to enforce these rights could cause it to lose sales, reduce any competitive advantage it has developed or otherwise harm its business.

UNIFI’s success depends in part upon its ability to protect and preserve its rights in the trademarks and other intellectual property it owns or licenses, including its proprietary know-how, methods and processes, and the intellectual property related to its REPREVE^® brand. UNIFI relies on the trademark, copyright and trade secret laws of the United States and other countries, as well as nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements, to protect its intellectual property rights. However, UNIFI may be unable to prevent third parties, employees or contractors from using its intellectual property without authorization, breaching nondisclosure or confidentiality agreements, or independently developing technology that is similar to UNIFI’s. The use of UNIFI’s intellectual property by others without authorization may reduce any competitive advantage UNIFI has developed, cause it to lose sales or otherwise harm its business.

UNIFI has investments in less than 100% owned affiliates that it does not control, which subjects UNIFI to uncertainties about the operating performance and quality of financial reporting of these affiliates.

The most significant of these investments is UNIFI’s 34% minority interest in PAL. While this investment is designed to provide industry diversity for UNIFI, UNIFI does not have majority voting control of PAL or the ability otherwise to control PAL’s policies, management or affairs. The interests of persons who control PAL may differ from UNIFI’s, and those persons may cause PAL to take actions that are not in UNIFI’s best interest. Among other things, UNIFI’s inability to control PAL may adversely affect its ability to receive distributions from PAL or to fully implement its business plan. The incurrence of debt or entry into other agreements by PAL may result in restrictions or prohibitions on PAL’s ability to make distributions to UNIFI. Even where PAL is not restricted by contract or by law from making distributions, UNIFI may not be able to influence the timing or amount of such distributions. In addition, if the controlling investor in PAL fails to observe its commitments, PAL may not be able to operate according to its business plan, or UNIFI may need to increase its level of investment commitment. If any of these events were to occur, UNIFI’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

UNIFI also relies on accurate financial reporting from PAL for preparation of UNIFI’s quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements. Errors in the financial information reported by PAL could be material to UNIFI and may require us to restate past financial statements. Any such restatements could have a material adverse effect on UNIFI or the market price of our common stock.

PAL receives economic adjustment payments from the Commodity Credit Corporation under the Economic Adjustment Assistance to Users of Upland Cotton. The economic assistance received under this program must be used to acquire, construct, install, modernize, develop, convert or expand land, plant, buildings, equipment or machinery directly attributable to the purpose of manufacturing upland cotton into eligible cotton products in the United States.  Should PAL no longer meet the criteria to receive economic assistance under the program, or should the program be discontinued, PAL’s business and profitability could be significantly impacted, which would adversely affect UNIFI.

UNIFI requires cash to service its indebtedness and fund capital expenditures and strategic initiatives, and its ability to generate sufficient cash for those purposes depends on many factors beyond its control.

UNIFI’s principal sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and borrowings under its credit facility. UNIFI’s ability to make payments on its indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures and strategic initiatives will depend on its ability to generate future cash flows from operations. This ability, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond UNIFI’s control. The business may not generate sufficient cash flows from operations, and future borrowings may not be available to UNIFI in amounts sufficient, to enable UNIFI to pay its indebtedness and to fund its other liquidity needs. Any such development would have a material adverse effect on UNIFI.

15

A decline in general economic or political conditions, and changes in consumer spending, could cause a decline in demand for textile products, including UNIFI’s products.

UNIFI’s products are used in the production of fabric primarily for the apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive, industrial and other end-use markets. Demand for furniture and other durable goods is often affected significantly by economic conditions that have global or regional industry-wide consequences. Demand for a number of categories of apparel also tends to be tied to economic cycles and customer preferences that affect the textile industry in general. Demand for textile products, therefore, tends to vary with the business cycles of the United States and other economies, as well as changes in global trade flows, and economic and political conditions.  Additionally, prolonged economic downturns that negatively impact UNIFI’s results of operations and cash flows could result in future material impairment charges to write-down the carrying value of certain assets, including amortizable intangible assets and equity affiliates.

Changes in consumer spending, customer preferences, fashion trends and end-uses for UNIFI’s products could weaken UNIFI’s competitive position and cause UNIFI’s products to become less competitive, and its sales and profits may decrease as a result.  Additionally, the end-consumer retail and apparel markets may continue to experience difficult conditions characterized by reduced retail traffic and growth in online sales channels, which may cause bankruptcies, store closures and other transformations for traditional retail enterprises, which could have an adverse effect on UNIFI’s business and financial condition.

Historic trends indicate weakening performance in the nylon sector on a global basis. If the decline is significant in any one year, the impact could have a material adverse effect on UNIFI’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Unfavorable changes in trade policies and/or violations of existing trade policies could weaken UNIFI’s competitive position significantly and have a material adverse effect on its business.

A number of markets within the textile industry in which UNIFI sells its products, particularly the apparel, hosiery and home furnishings markets, are subject to intense foreign competition. Other markets within the textile industry in which UNIFI sells its products may in the future become subject to more intense foreign competition. There are currently a number of trade regulations and duties in place to protect the U.S. textile industry against competition from low-priced foreign producers, such as those in China and Vietnam. Changes in such trade regulations or duties may make the price of UNIFI’s products less attractive than the goods of its competitors or the finished products of a competitor in the supply chain, which could have a material adverse effect on UNIFI’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

According to industry experts and trade associations, there has been a significant amount of illegal transshipments of apparel products into the United States and into certain other countries in the NAFTA and CAFTA-DR regions in which UNIFI competes. Illegal transshipment involves circumventing duties by falsely claiming that textiles and apparel are products of a particular country of origin (or include yarn of a particular country of origin) to avoid paying higher duties or to receive benefits from regional free trade agreements, such as NAFTA and CAFTA-DR. If illegal transshipments are not monitored, and if enforcement is not effective to limit them, these shipments could have a material adverse effect on UNIFI’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2017, the United States withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, an evolving trade agreement that included Vietnam, a major textile and apparel exporting country whose duty-free benefits under the agreement could have had an adverse effect on UNIFI’s business in the long term. In May 2017, the Trump administration formally notified Congress of its intent to renegotiate NAFTA.  The United States has a positive trade balance in the textile and apparel sector in NAFTA and UNIFI anticipates any modifications to the agreement in this sector will not significantly impact textile and apparel trade in the region.

As of August 23, 2017, there were 141 record holders of UNIFI’s common stock.  A significant number of the outstanding shares of common stock that are beneficially owned by individuals and entities are registered in the name of Cede & Co.  Cede & Co. is a nominee of The Depository Trust Company, a securities depository for banks and brokerage firms.  UNIFI estimates that there are approximately 5,000 beneficial owners of its common stock.

No dividends were paid in the past two fiscal years, and UNIFI does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  UNIFI’s current debt obligations contain certain restricted payment and restricted investment provisions, including a restriction on the payment of dividends and share repurchases should the borrowing capacity fall below certain thresholds.  Information regarding UNIFI’s debt obligations is provided in Note 12, “Long-Term Debt,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Purchases of Equity Securities

On January 22, 2013, UNIFI announced a stock repurchase program (the “2013 SRP”) to acquire up to $50,000 of its common stock. UNIFI completed its repurchase of shares under the 2013 SRP in March 2014.

On April 23, 2014, UNIFI announced a new stock repurchase program (the “2014 SRP”) to acquire up to an additional $50,000 of UNIFI’s common stock with no expiration. Under the 2014 SRP (as was the case under the 2013 SRP), purchases may be completed 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 UNIFI’s debt obligations. UNIFI may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not beneficial or advisable.

Through June 25, 2017, UNIFI had repurchased 3,147 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $72,438, including all associated commission costs, since the inception of the 2013 SRP and the 2014 SRP.

UNIFI did not purchase any of its common stock during fiscal 2017.  As of June 25, 2017, $27,603 remained available for repurchases under the 2014 SRP.

Item 7. 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 UNIFI’s operations, along with material changes in financial condition, during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the remainder of this Annual Report, with the understanding that “forward-looking statements” may be present. A reference to a “note” refers to the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.

Overview

UNIFI sells polyester-based and nylon-based products primarily to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive, industrial and other end-use markets. Polyester yarns include POY, textured, solution and package dyed, twisted, beamed and draw wound yarns, and each is available in virgin or recycled varieties. Recycled solutions, made from both pre-consumer and post-consumer waste, include plastic bottle flake and Chip.  Nylon products include textured, solution dyed and spandex covered yarns.

UNIFI maintains one of the textile industry’s most comprehensive yarn product offerings that include specialized yarns, PVA yarns and commodity yarns, with principal geographic markets in the Americas and Asia.

UNIFI 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 PAL, a significant unconsolidated affiliate that produces cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the global textile industry and apparel market. We believe the investment in PAL provides strategic diversification for our overall business in response to global textile trends.

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

UNIFI reported net income of $32,875, or $1.81 per basic share, for fiscal 2017. Such results reflect growth in sales of PVA products, especially in the International Segment, which was partially offset by (i) a difficult domestic environment, (ii) increased SG&A expenses for strategic planning, talent acquisition and commercial expansion and (iii) lower earnings from equity affiliates. Additionally, in fiscal 2017, UNIFI faced periods of fluctuating virgin polyester raw material costs, temporarily depressing the Polyester Segment’s gross margins, but benefited from (a) the recognition of a benefit for bad debts, (b) a lower effective tax rate and (c) favorable foreign currency exchange rates. The International Segment continued strong performance and growth due to the global success of UNIFI’s PVA portfolio, along with the shutdown of a competitor in Brazil in early calendar 2016.  The Polyester and Nylon Segments both experienced a difficult domestic environment, challenged by weak retail selling seasons and cautious ordering patterns from brands and retailers.

Significant Developments and Trends

UNIFI’s operations in fiscal 2017 were focused on enhancing the global supply chain, growing the market for its PVA products and using cash flow from operations to fund select capital projects and strategic growth opportunities.  This focus led to the continuing increase in UNIFI’s PVA sales as a percentage of its overall sales, with net sales from PVA products representing approximately 40% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2017. This continues a growth trend of between 10% and 15% over the past several fiscal years.  UNIFI’s strategy of enriching its product mix through a focus on PVA products helps insulate it from the pressures of low-priced commodity yarn imports and helps to establish UNIFI as an innovation leader in its core markets. UNIFI’s innovative and sustainable products achieved growth in overseas markets, continuing to meet the demands of premier brands and retailers worldwide.

22

UNIFI’s flagship REPREVE^® brand continued as our fastest growing PVA solution during fiscal 2017.  The increasing success and awareness of the REPREVE^® brand continues to provide new opportunities for growth, allowing for expansion into new end-uses and markets for REPREVE^®, as well as continuing to grow the brand with current customers. Both brands and consumers are demanding more sustainable solutions that provide better performance characteristics, and REPREVE^® is positioned to benefit from this trend.

Fiscal 2017 marked the third year of a three-year $135,000 capital investment plan. Beginning with fiscal 2015, UNIFI invested approximately $35,000 in capital projects, adding machinery to support expansion of its draw-textured and air-jet textured businesses, launching its third production line in the REPREVE^® Recycling Center and installing a 1-megawatt capacity solar farm. In fiscal 2016, UNIFI invested approximately $60,000 in capital projects, including the bottle processing facility, commencing another REPREVE^® Recycling Center expansion and enhancing automation systems and existing machinery to handle the increasingly complex product mix. UNIFI invested approximately $40,000 in capital projects in fiscal 2017, completing construction of its bottle processing facility, nearing completion of the fourth production line in the REPREVE^® Recycling Center, and completing construction of assets for production of specialized fibers in partnership with Eastman Chemical Company, along with additional enhancements to existing assets for customized and small-lot solutions.

To appropriately leverage the significant investments made in machinery and equipment in recent years, UNIFI expects to make additional investments in certain growth initiatives, including commercial expansion; technology and innovation; strategic partnerships; and people and teams. When executed with synergy, these initiatives are expected to increase the returns from UNIFI’s core competencies by utilizing a premier supply chain and state-of-the-art equipment to deliver technology-driven solutions backed by innovation and sustainability to like-minded customers worldwide. These initiatives are expected to increase net sales, gross margins and operating income while causing SG&A expenses to increase correspondingly.

Raw material components represent a significant portion of UNIFI’s manufactured products. The prices for the principal raw materials used by UNIFI continually fluctuate, and it is difficult, and often impossible, to predict trends or upcoming developments.  During fiscal 2017, UNIFI operated in a predominantly increasing virgin polyester raw material cost environment. UNIFI believes those costs were a result of volatility in the crude oil markets. During fiscal 2016 and 2015, UNIFI operated in a predominantly declining virgin polyester raw material cost environment.  UNIFI believes that costs during most of that two-year period were impacted by lower crude oil values, a lack of major unplanned raw material capacity outages and soft global demand for polyester raw materials. The continuing volatility in global crude oil prices is likely to impact UNIFI’s polyester and nylon raw material costs.  While it is not possible to predict the timing or amount of the impact or whether the decline in crude oil prices will stabilize, continue or reverse, UNIFI monitors these dynamic factors closely.

UNIFI is also impacted by significant fluctuations in the value of the Brazilian Real, the local currency for our largest foreign operation. In fiscal 2017, the Brazilian Real strengthened versus the U.S. Dollar. Such appreciation of the Brazilian Real improves our net sales and other performance metrics when the results of our Brazilian subsidiary are translated into U.S. Dollars at comparatively favorable rates. During fiscal 2016 and 2015, UNIFI was negatively impacted by relative weakening of the Brazilian Real. Specifically, the Brazilian Real declined approximately 40% in relation to the U.S. Dollar in fiscal 2015. UNIFI expects continued volatility in the value of the Brazilian Real to impact our key performance metrics, although the magnitude of the impact is dependent upon the significance of the volatility.

See Note 25, “Business Segment Information,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for reconciliations and detail regarding UNIFI’s reportable segments, discussion and analysis of which follows below.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

UNIFI continuously reviews performance indicators to measure its success.  These performance indicators form the basis of management’s discussion and analysis included below:

• sales volume and revenue for UNIFI and for each reportable segment;

• gross profit and gross margin for UNIFI and for each reportable segment;

• net income and earnings per share;

• Segment Profit (Loss), which equals segment gross profit plus segment depreciation expense;

• unit conversion margin, which represents unit net sales price less unit raw material costs, for UNIFI and for each reportable segment;

• working capital, which represents current assets less current liabilities;

• Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), which represents Net Income 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 UNIFI;

• Adjusted Net Income, which excludes certain amounts which management believes do not reflect the ongoing operations and performance of UNIFI, such as key employee transition costs and loss on sale of business. Adjusted Net Income represents Net Income calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 UNIFI;

24

• Adjusted EPS (earnings per share), which represents Adjusted Net Income divided by UNIFI’s basic weighted average common shares outstanding; and

• Adjusted Working Capital (receivables plus inventory, less accounts payable and accrued expenses), which is an indicator of UNIFI’s production efficiency and ability to manage 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. We may, from time to time, modify the amounts used to determine our 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 UNIFI’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 such entity were required to be included in UNIFI’s financial amounts reported under GAAP.

See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below for reconciliations of non-GAAP metrics to the most directly comparable GAAP metric.

(1) For the fiscal year ended June 25, 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.

(2) For the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016, the Company incurred key employee transition costs of $2,330, before tax, for transactions in the United States.  The Company estimates the tax benefit of these costs was $673, using a 35% tax rate, with no significant deferred tax components.  Including transactions for Renewables, the amounts reflected here consider impacts to the valuation allowances and non-controlling interest.

(3) The bargain purchase gains recognized for an equity affiliate did not generate a tax impact for purposes of this reconciliation as the corresponding change in deferred tax expense is offset by a change in the valuation allowance for UNIFI’s investment in the equity affiliate.

Consolidated Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2017 increased by $3,633, or 0.6%, as compared to fiscal 2016.

Consolidated sales volumes increased 11.3%, attributable to continued growth in sales of PVA products in the International Segment and sales of polyester Chip and plastic bottle flake in the Polyester Segment. In Brazil, despite a volatile economic and political environment, we capitalized on expansion of the synthetic yarn market coupled with market share gain due to the shutdown of a competitor in early calendar 2016.  In Asia, the business has grown as brands and retail partners continue to utilize our global model, providing differentiation and innovation of our 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 store closures and other business transformations plagued the retail industry, domestic apparel brands and retailers continued a cautious ordering level throughout fiscal 2017, which led to sales volume declines for our domestic operations compared to the prior period.

We believe the difficult domestic retail environment has become a pervasive and disruptive issue for the textile supply chain, and although the unfavorable conditions were present in both fiscal 2016 and 2017, we have not identified this issue as a long-term trend.

Consolidated average sales prices decreased 10.6%, attributable to (i) a mix impact within the Polyester Segment due to a higher proportion of lower-priced polyester product sales, (ii) a mix impact from relative volume weakness for nylon products that typically carry a higher selling price and (iii) an increase in product sales in the International Segment (where the products carry a lower average selling price when compared to domestic 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 fiscal year of approximately $9,800, primarily associated with the comparative increase in value of the Brazilian Real.  PVA products at the end of fiscal 2017 comprised 40% of net sales, up from 35% for fiscal 2016.

28

Consolidated Gross Profit

Gross profit for fiscal 2017 increased by $532, or 0.6%, as compared to fiscal 2016, 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 $1,800.  These benefits were partially offset as gross profit for the Polyester and Nylon Segments decreased due to (a) lower sales volumes in the Nylon Segment, (b) start-up costs (primarily depreciation) associated with the new REPREVE^® Bottle Processing Center in Reidsville, North Carolina and (c) a lag in implementing selling price adjustments for customers in connection with periodic increases in virgin polyester raw material costs.

Further details regarding the changes in net sales and gross profit from fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2017, by reportable segment, follow.

Polyester Segment

The components of Segment Profit, each component as a percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior period amounts for the Polyester Segment are as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017				June 26, 2016
			% of Net Sales				% of Net Sales		% Change
Net sales	$	355,740		100.0	$	383,167		100.0		(7.2	)
Cost of sales		315,655		88.7		333,638		87.1		(5.4	)
Gross profit		40,085		11.3		49,529		12.9		(19.1	)
Depreciation expense		13,921		3.9		11,188		2.9		24.4
Segment Profit	$	54,006		15.2	$	60,717		15.8		(11.1	)

The change in net sales for the Polyester Segment is as follows:

Net sales for fiscal 2016	$	383,167
Decrease in average selling price and change in sales mix		(33,651	)
Increase in sales volumes		6,224
Net sales for fiscal 2017	$	355,740

The decrease in net sales for the Polyester Segment was attributable to lower sales prices primarily 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.

The change in Segment Profit for the Polyester Segment is as follows:

Segment Profit for fiscal 2016	$	60,717
Net decrease in underlying margins		(7,697	)
Increase in sales volumes		986
Segment Profit for fiscal 2017	$	54,006

The decrease in Segment Profit for the Polyester Segment was attributable to (i) the impact of an unfavorable change in sales mix, as described in the net sales analysis above and (ii) the impact of periodic increases in virgin polyester raw material costs with an inherent delay in selling price adjustments, despite an increase in sales volumes.

Polyester Segment net sales and Segment Profit as a percentage of total consolidated amounts were 55.0% and 48.2%, respectively, for fiscal 2017, compared to 59.5% and 56.0%, respectively, for fiscal 2016.

29

Nylon Segment

The components of Segment Profit, each component as a percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior period amounts for the Nylon Segment are as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017				June 26, 2016
			% of NetSales				% of Net Sales		% Change
Net sales	$	112,704		100.0	$	131,715		100.0		(14.4	)
Cost of sales		100,633		89.3		113,906		86.5		(11.7	)
Gross profit		12,071		10.7		17,809		13.5		(32.2	)
Depreciation expense		2,125		1.9		1,899		1.5		11.9
Segment Profit	$	14,196		12.6	$	19,708		15.0		(28.0	)

The change in net sales for the Nylon Segment is as follows:

Net sales for fiscal 2016	$	131,715
Decrease in sales volumes		(15,973	)
Decrease in average selling price and change in sales mix		(3,038	)
Net sales for fiscal 2017	$	112,704

The decrease in net sales for the Nylon Segment was attributable to (i) lower sales volumes as a result of soft domestic market conditions in which nylon socks, ladies hosiery and intimates have experienced demand declines and (ii) the transition of certain PVA programs from the Nylon Segment to the International Segment to meet customer-specific supply chain requirements. The shift of PVA sales to the International Segment also adversely impacted the average selling price and sales mix.

The change in Segment Profit for the Nylon Segment is as follows:

Segment Profit for fiscal 2016	$	19,708
Decrease in underlying margins		(3,122	)
Decrease in sales volumes		(2,390	)
Segment Profit for fiscal 2017	$	14,196

The decrease in Segment Profit for the Nylon Segment was attributable to (i) the shift of higher-margin PVA sales to the International Segment and (ii) the impact of lower sales on production volumes, driving higher unit manufacturing costs due to lower capacity utilization.

Nylon Segment net sales and Segment Profit as a percentage of total consolidated amounts were 17.4% and 12.7%, respectively, for fiscal 2017, compared to 20.5% and 18.2%, respectively, for fiscal 2016.

International Segment

The components of Segment Profit, each component as a percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior period amounts for the International Segment are as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017				June 26, 2016
			% of NetSales				% of Net Sales		% Change
Net sales	$	173,686		100.0	$	122,554		100.0		41.7
Cost of sales		131,087		75.5		95,666		78.1		37.0
Gross profit		42,599		24.5		26,888		21.9		58.4
Depreciation expense		1,119		0.7		885		0.8		26.4
Segment Profit	$	43,718		25.2	$	27,773		22.7		57.4

30

The change in net sales for the International Segment is as follows:

Net sales for fiscal 2016	$	122,554
Increase in sales volumes		50,235
Net favorable foreign currency translation effects (Brazilian Real and Chinese Renminbi)		9,636
Decrease in average selling price and change in sales mix		(8,739	)
Net sales for fiscal 2017	$	173,686

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 3.22 Real/U.S. Dollar and 3.67 Real/U.S. Dollar for fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively). These benefits were partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price in China due to (a) a greater mix of lower-priced staple fiber sales to several yarn manufacturers for a PVA apparel program and (b) unfavorable foreign currency translation from the Chinese Renminbi.

The change in Segment Profit for the International Segment is as follows:

Segment Profit for fiscal 2016	$	27,773
Increase in sales volumes		11,349
Improvements in underlying margins		2,664
Net favorable foreign currency translation effects (Brazilian Real and Chinese Renminbi)		1,932
Segment Profit for fiscal 2017	$	43,718

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 due to a mix of higher-margin manufactured products (including PVA 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 26.8% and 39.0%, respectively, for fiscal 2017, compared to 19.0% and 25.6%, respectively, for fiscal 2016.

Consolidated Selling, General & Administrative Expenses

The change in SG&A expenses is as follows:

SG&A expenses for fiscal 2016	$	47,502
Net increase for external service providers		2,386
Increase in supplemental retirement plan expenses		640
Increase due to foreign currency translation		465
Increase in incentive compensation expenses		410
Decrease in sales, franchise and property taxes		(533	)
Other net decreases		(41	)
SG&A expenses for fiscal 2017	$	50,829

Total SG&A expenses were higher for fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016, primarily as a result of (i) a net increase in fees paid to external service providers, including audit, legal, tax, consulting, marketing and branding services, many of which related to strategic planning, talent acquisition and commercial expansion, (ii) an increase in supplemental retirement plan expenses driven by comparatively stronger performance of the equity index

31

benchmark, (iii) an increase in foreign currency translation primarily due to the strengthening of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar and (iv) an increase in incentive compensation expenses due to favorable performance against established targets, partially offset by a decrease in non-income related taxes and other net decreases.

UNIFI expects SG&A expenses to further increase from fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2018 due to planned spending on commercial expansion, additional technology and innovation, new partnerships and talent acquisition.

Consolidated (Benefit) Provision for Bad Debts

(Benefit) provision for bad debts changed favorably from a provision of $1,684 for fiscal 2016 to a benefit of $123 for fiscal 2017.  The benefit to fiscal 2017 reflects a net decrease in the reserve against specifically identified customer balances in the Polyester and International Segments.

Consolidated Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net

Other operating (income) expense, net changed favorably from $2,248 of expense for fiscal 2016 to $310 of income for fiscal 2017. Other operating (income) expense, net for fiscal 2017 primarily includes favorable foreign currency exchange rates, while the total for fiscal 2016 primarily includes key employee transition costs.

Consolidated Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net increased from $2,918 for fiscal 2016 to $3,061 for fiscal 2017, and reflected the following components: 

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017			June 26, 2016
Interest and fees on the ABL Facility	$	3,032		$	2,903
Other interest		1,021			885
Subtotal of interest on debt obligations		4,053			3,788
Amortization of debt financing fees		390			407
Mark-to-market adjustment for interest rate swap		(260	)		(20	)
Reclassification adjustment for interest rate swap		70			77
Interest capitalized to property, plant and equipment, net		(675	)		(724	)
Subtotal of other components of interest expense		(475	)		(260	)
Total interest expense		3,578			3,528
Interest income		(517	)		(610	)
Interest expense, net	$	3,061		$	2,918

Interest on debt obligations increased from fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2017 in connection with an increase in the weighted average interest rate and an increase in capital lease obligations.

The change in other components of interest expense from the prior period is primarily attributable to a favorable change in the mark-to-market adjustment for the historical 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, UNIFI, through a wholly owned foreign subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell its 60% equity ownership interest in Renewables to its existing third-party joint venture partner for $500 in cash and release of certain debt obligations. In connection with the transaction, UNIFI recognized a loss on sale of business of $1,662.

32

Consolidated Earnings from Unconsolidated Affiliates

The components of earnings from unconsolidated affiliates are as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017			June 26, 2016
Earnings from PAL	$	(2,723	)	$	(6,074	)
Earnings from nylon joint ventures		(1,507	)		(2,889	)
Total equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates	$	(4,230	)	$	(8,963	)
As a percentage of consolidated income before income taxes		9.8	%		18.6	%

UNIFI’s 34% share of PAL’s earnings decreased from $6,074 in fiscal 2016 to $2,723 in fiscal 2017. The decrease is 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 higher raw material costs and softness in the nylon markets.

Consolidated Income Taxes

The change in consolidated income taxes is as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017			June 26, 2016
Income before income taxes	$	43,275		$	48,243
Provision for income taxes		10,898			15,073
Effective tax rate		25.2	%		31.2	%

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2017 benefited from, among other things, (i) a lower overall effective tax rate for UNIFI’s foreign earnings (reflecting free-trade zone sales in El Salvador and lower statutory tax rates in both Brazil and China), (ii) increased research and development credits, (iii) a decrease in the valuation allowance reflecting the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for UNIFI’s investment in PAL (for which UNIFI maintains a full valuation allowance) and (iv) a reduction in the valuation allowance related to foreign net operating losses utilized in 2017.  Such favorable impacts to the fiscal 2017 effective tax rate were partially offset by (a) a reduction in the domestic production activities deduction due to the carryback of certain losses, (b) a change in uncertain tax positions and (c) withholding taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2016 benefited from, among other things, (i) a lower overall effective tax rate for UNIFI’s foreign earnings (reflecting free-trade zone sales in El Salvador and lower statutory tax rates in both Brazil and China), (ii) a decrease in the valuation allowance reflecting the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for UNIFI’s investment in PAL (for which UNIFI maintains a full valuation allowance) and (iii) a reduction in the valuation allowance related to foreign tax credits utilized in 2016.  Such favorable impacts to the fiscal 2016 effective tax rate were partially offset by (a) utilization of foreign tax credits, (b) an increase in the valuation allowance for net operating losses, including Renewables, for which no tax benefit could be recognized, (c) state and local taxes net of the assumed federal benefit and (d) a change in uncertain tax positions.

The favorable change in the effective tax rate from fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2017 is primarily attributable to both a greater mix of foreign earnings and increased research and development credits in fiscal 2017.

33

Consolidated Net Income Attributable to Unifi, Inc.

Net Income for fiscal 2017 was $32,875, or $1.81 per basic share, compared to $34,415, or $1.93 per basic share, for fiscal 2016.  The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) lower earnings from equity affiliates and (ii) 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) favorable foreign currency exchange rates.  Gross profit improved slightly versus the prior fiscal year due to growth in sales of PVA products, especially in the International Segment, which was partially offset by a difficult domestic environment and fluctuating virgin polyester raw material costs temporarily depressing domestic gross margins.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

From fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2017, Adjusted EBITDA increased from $65,357 to $65,593.  The increase is primarily attributable to growth in sales of PVA products, a benefit for bad debts, and favorable foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by certain volume declines attributable to a difficult domestic retail environment and higher SG&A expenses.

Review of Fiscal 2016 Results of Operations Compared to Fiscal 2015

Consolidated Overview

The components of Net Income, each component as a percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior fiscal year amounts are presented in the table below.  Fiscal 2016 and 2015 both were comprised of 52 weeks.

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 26, 2016						June 28, 2015

Consolidated Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2016 decreased by $43,484, or 6.3%, as compared to fiscal 2015.

Consolidated sales volumes decreased 0.7%, concentrated in the Polyester and Nylon Segments, while volumes in the International Segment increased. The slight overall decline in sales volumes was attributable to (i) UNIFI’s strategic exiting of specific low-margin business and (ii) domestic market softness and supply chain adjustments, partially offset by increased global demand for our PVA yarns.

Consolidated sales pricing declined 5.6%, primarily due to (i) the devaluation of certain foreign currencies versus the U.S. Dollar (approximately $31,000), (ii) a lower proportion of nylon in our product mix and (iii) lower pricing

34

in the Polyester and Nylon Segments as a result of lower raw material costs, partially offset by pricing improvements attributable to the continued success of PVA programs. PVA products comprised approximately 35% of UNIFI’s consolidated net sales for fiscal 2016 as compared to approximately 30% for fiscal 2015.

Consolidated Gross Profit

Gross profit for fiscal 2016 increased by $2,927, or 3.2%, as compared to fiscal 2015, reflecting strength in the International Segment, partially offset by decreases in the Polyester and Nylon Segments.  Gross profit increased for the International Segment due to (i) an increase in sales volumes and margins for our Chinese subsidiary from PVA sales growth and (ii) improved margins in Brazil, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation due to the devaluation of the Brazilian Real and Chinese Renminbi versus the U.S. Dollar.  Lower gross profit for the Polyester Segment was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes.  Gross profit decreased for the Nylon Segment primarily due to lower sales volumes and devaluation of the Colombian Peso versus the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by improved overall manufacturing efficiencies.

Further details regarding the changes in net sales and gross profit from fiscal 2015 to fiscal 2016 by reportable segment follow.

Polyester Segment

The components of Segment Profit, each component as a percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior period amounts for the Polyester Segment are as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 26, 2016				June 28, 2015
			% of NetSales				% of Net Sales		% Change
Net sales	$	383,167		100.0	$	396,239		100.0		(3.3	)
Cost of sales		333,638		87.1		345,462		87.2		(3.4	)
Gross profit		49,529		12.9		50,777		12.8		(2.5	)
Depreciation expense		11,188		2.9		10,579		2.7		5.8
Segment Profit	$	60,717		15.8	$	61,356		15.5		(1.0	)

The change in net sales for the Polyester Segment is as follows:

Net sales for fiscal 2015	$	396,239
Decrease in average selling price		(8,150	)
Decrease in sales volumes		(4,922	)
Net sales for fiscal 2016	$	383,167

The decrease in net sales for the Polyester Segment was attributable to lower sales prices as a result of lower raw material costs (approximately 10% for virgin polyester raw materials), partially offset by an improved sales mix (due to our focus on growing PVA sales).  Decreased sales volumes are primarily attributable to (i) the strategic exiting of specific lower-margin commodity business and (ii) lower demand in certain sectors of the retail market, partially offset by growth of PVA yarn volumes.

The change in Segment Profit for the Polyester Segment is as follows:

Segment Profit for fiscal 2015	$	61,356
Decrease in sales volumes		(761	)
Increase in underlying margins		122
Segment Profit for fiscal 2016	$	60,717

The decrease in Segment Profit for the Polyester Segment was attributable to lower sales volumes, as discussed in the net sales analysis above, and an increase in manufacturing costs, partially offset by the favorable impact of mix

35

enrichment achieved through increased demand for our PVA yarns. Segment Profit, as a percentage of net sales, grew over fiscal 2015, demonstrating mix enrichment.

Polyester Segment net sales and Segment Profit as a percentage of total consolidated amounts were 59.5% and 56.0%, respectively, for fiscal 2016, compared to 57.7% and 58.1%, respectively, for fiscal 2015.

Nylon Segment

The components of Segment Profit, each component as a percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior period amounts for the Nylon Segment are as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 26, 2016				June 28, 2015
			% of NetSales				% of Net Sales		% Change
Net sales	$	131,715		100.0	$	149,612		100.0		(12.0	)
Cost of sales		113,906		86.5		130,644		87.3		(12.8	)
Gross profit		17,809		13.5		18,968		12.7		(6.1	)
Depreciation expense		1,899		1.5		1,798		1.2		5.6
Segment Profit	$	19,708		15.0	$	20,766		13.9		(5.1	)

The change in net sales for the Nylon Segment is as follows:

Net sales for fiscal 2015	$	149,612
Decrease in sales volumes		(13,457	)
Decrease in average selling price and change in sales mix		(3,173	)
Unfavorable foreign currency translation effects		(1,267	)
Net sales for fiscal 2016	$	131,715

The decrease in net sales for the Nylon Segment was primarily attributable to (i) lower sales volumes as a result of domestic market weakness and certain inventory adjustments in the supply chain, (ii) a decrease in pricing following the decline in raw material costs, and (iii) currency devaluation of the Colombian Peso versus the U.S. Dollar.

The change in Segment Profit for the Nylon Segment is as follows:

Segment Profit for fiscal 2015	$	20,766
Decrease in sales volumes		(1,867	)
Unfavorable foreign currency translation effects (Colombian Peso)		(329	)
Improvement in underlying margins		1,138
Segment Profit for fiscal 2016	$	19,708

The decrease in Segment Profit for the Nylon Segment was primarily attributable to (i) lower sales volumes, as discussed in the net sales analysis above and (ii) the unfavorable impact of currency devaluation of the Colombian Peso versus the U.S. Dollar. These decreases were partially offset by improved manufacturing efficiencies.

Nylon Segment net sales and Segment Profit as a percentage of total consolidated amounts were 20.5% and 18.2%, respectively, for fiscal 2016, compared to 21.8% and 19.7%, respectively, for fiscal 2015.

International Segment

The components of Segment Profit, each component as a percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior period amounts for the International Segment are as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 26, 2016				June 28, 2015
			% of NetSales				% of Net Sales		% Change
Net sales	$	122,554		100.0	$	134,992		100.0		(9.2	)
Cost of sales		95,666		78.1		113,556		84.1		(15.8	)
Gross profit		26,888		21.9		21,436		15.9		25.4
Depreciation expense		885		0.8		1,997		1.5		(55.7	)
Segment Profit	$	27,773		22.7	$	23,433		17.4		18.5

The change in net sales for the International Segment is as follows:

Net sales for fiscal 2015	$	134,992
Unfavorable foreign currency translation effects (Brazilian Real and Chinese Renminbi)		(29,761	)
Improvement in average selling price and change in sales mix		14,233
Increase in sales volumes		3,090
Net sales for fiscal 2016	$	122,554

The decrease in net sales for the International Segment was primarily attributable to unfavorable foreign currency translation effects due to the devaluation of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar (using a weighted average exchange rate of 3.67 Real/U.S. Dollar and 2.66 Real/U.S. Dollar for fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively) and weakening of the Chinese Renminbi versus the U.S. Dollar. PVA portfolio growth and favorable product and price mix in Brazil led to improvements in underlying average selling price and sales mix. In addition, our Brazilian subsidiary gained market share during the second half of fiscal 2016 as a local competitor closed its operations.

The change in Segment Profit for the International Segment is as follows:

Segment Profit for fiscal 2015	$	23,433
Improvements in underlying margins		9,098
Increase in sales volumes		516
Unfavorable foreign currency translation effects (Brazilian Real and Chinese Renminbi)		(5,274	)
Segment Profit for fiscal 2016	$	27,773

The increase in Segment Profit for the International Segment was attributable to (i) improved margins in Brazil based on a greater mix of higher-margin manufactured PVA products as well as increased unit conversion margin for both manufactured and resale yarns, (ii) improved margins in China due to the continued growth of PVA programs in Asia and (iii) higher sales volumes as noted in the net sales analysis above. The increase was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation effects due to the devaluation of both the Brazilian Real and Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. Dollar.

International Segment net sales and Segment profit as a percentage of total consolidated amounts were 19.0% and 25.6%, respectively, for fiscal 2016, compared to 19.6% and 22.2%, respectively, for fiscal 2015.

37

Consolidated Selling, General & Administrative Expenses

The change in SG&A expenses is as follows:

SG&A expenses for fiscal 2015	$	49,672
Decrease in variable compensation		(1,231	)
Decrease in non-cash compensation expenses		(647	)
Decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses		(304	)
Increase in consumer marketing and branding expenses		888
Decrease due to foreign currency translation and other net activity		(876	)
SG&A expenses for fiscal 2016	$	47,502

Total SG&A expenses were lower versus the prior fiscal year, primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in variable compensation expense due to a smaller pool of executive officers in fiscal 2016, (ii) a decrease in non-cash compensation expense reflecting (a) lower expense for an unfunded supplemental retirement plan driven by lower market performance for an equity index during fiscal 2016 and (b) a comparative decline in the quantity of stock option awards vesting, (iii) a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses due to lower amortization of customer lists and (iv) a decrease due to the impact of foreign currency translation.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in consumer marketing and branding expenses resulting from the timing and magnitude of expenses for advertising and sponsorship agreements, primarily for REPREVE^®.

Consolidated Provision for Bad Debts

Provision for bad debts increased from $947 for fiscal 2015 to $1,684 for fiscal 2016. The increase primarily reflects a provision for a specific Polyester customer balance, for which UNIFI had determined a full recovery to be unlikely.

Consolidated Other Operating Expense, Net

Other operating expense, net increased from $1,600 for fiscal 2015 to $2,248 for fiscal 2016.

The increase was driven by the incurrence of consulting and transition fees related to former executives of UNIFI ($1,293), partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in the net impact of asset disposals ($765). During fiscal 2015, Renewables recorded a loss on disposal of assets of $1,322 (before non-controlling interest) relating to certain miscanthus grass which would not be used in the future. Also in fiscal 2015, UNIFI recognized a gain on sale of assets of $630 relating to the sale of certain land and building assets historically utilized for warehousing in the Polyester Segment.

38

Consolidated Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net decreased from $3,109 for fiscal 2015 to $2,918 for fiscal 2016, and reflected the following components:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 26, 2016			June 28, 2015
Interest and fees on ABL Facility	$	2,903		$	3,290
Other interest		885			273
Subtotal of interest on debt obligations		3,788			3,563
Amortization of debt financing fees		407			505
Mark-to-market adjustment for interest rate swap		(20	)		(83	)
Reclassification adjustment for interest rate swap		77			231
Interest capitalized to property, plant and equipment, net		(724	)		(191	)
Subtotal of other components of interest expense		(260	)		462
Total interest expense		3,528			4,025
Interest income		(610	)		(916	)
Interest expense, net	$	2,918		$	3,109

Interest and fees on the ABL Facility decreased in connection with a decline in the weighted average interest rate from 2.8% to 2.3%, partially offset by $177 of fees incurred in fiscal 2016 in connection with the first annual principal reset of the term loan.

The increase in other interest reflects an increase in the average capital lease obligation from $6,286 to $17,583.

UNIFI capitalized more interest in fiscal 2016, driven by increased capital expenditures, the majority of which relate to the construction of a plastic bottle processing facility.

Interest income in each period includes earnings recognized on cash equivalents held globally. Interest income decreased from fiscal 2015 due to a lower average balance of interest-bearing cash equivalents held by our Brazilian subsidiary (where interest rates are highest among UNIFI’s subsidiaries) and changes in foreign currency translation attributable to the devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

UNIFI’s amendment of its credit facility during fiscal 2015 established substantially different terms for the term loan portion of the facility (including the replacement of an existing lender), and led UNIFI to record a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,040 for the write-off of certain debt financing fees related to the previous credit agreement.

Consolidated Earnings from Unconsolidated Affiliates

The components of earnings from unconsolidated affiliates are as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 26, 2016			June 28, 2015
Earnings from PAL	$	(6,074	)	$	(17,403	)
Earnings from nylon joint ventures		(2,889	)		(2,072	)
Total equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates	$	(8,963	)	$	(19,475	)
As a percentage of consolidated income before income taxes		18.6	%		36.2	%

For fiscal 2016, PAL’s corresponding fiscal period consisted of 52 weeks. For fiscal 2015, PAL’s corresponding fiscal period consisted of 53 weeks.

39

UNIFI’s 34% share of PAL’s earnings decreased from $17,403 in fiscal 2015 to $6,074 in fiscal 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to (i) two bargain purchase gains (combined total of approximately $14,000 for PAL, which equates to approximately $4,700 for UNIFI) recognized in fiscal 2015 by PAL from the acquisitions of (a) a yarn manufacturer based in Mexico for which PAL previously held a 50% ownership interest and (b) two cotton spinning facilities in the United States, (ii) lower volumes related to domestic market weakness, (iii) higher start-up and depreciation expenses in connection with recent expansions and (iv) lower operating margins primarily as a result of competitive price pressure.

The remaining change in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates relates to improved combined operating results for UNIFI’s two nylon extrusion joint ventures that supply POY to UNIFI’s Nylon Segment, resulting from lower raw material costs.

Consolidated Income Taxes

The change in consolidated income taxes is as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 26, 2016			June 28, 2015
Income before income taxes	$	48,243		$	53,812
Provision for income taxes		15,073			13,346
Effective tax rate		31.2	%		24.8	%

The effective tax rates for fiscal 2016 and 2015 were favorably impacted by, among other things (i) a lower overall effective tax rate for UNIFI’s foreign earnings (reflecting free-trade zone sales in El Salvador and lower statutory tax rates in both Brazil and China), (ii) net federal and state credits, (iii) a decrease in the valuation allowance reflecting the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for UNIFI’s investment in PAL (for which UNIFI maintains a full valuation allowance) and (iv) the domestic production activities deduction. Such favorable impacts to the fiscal 2016 and 2015 effective tax rates were partially offset by (a) an increase in the valuation allowance for net operating losses, including Renewables, for which no tax benefit could be recognized, (b) state and local taxes net of the assumed federal benefit and (c) a change in uncertain tax positions.

The effective tax rate increased from 24.8% in fiscal 2015 to 31.2% in fiscal 2016, primarily attributable to certain impacts to the fiscal 2015 effective tax rate that were not components of the fiscal 2016 effective tax rate.  In fiscal 2015, the effective tax rate was driven lower by (i) the reversal of the deferred tax liability reflecting UNIFI’s indefinite reinvestment assertion at that time, generating a benefit of $7,639 and (ii) renewable energy tax credits of $1,036 relating to the installation of a solar farm in Yadkinville, North Carolina. These benefits were partially offset by the unfavorable impact of settling certain intercompany transactions involving UNIFI’s Brazilian subsidiary, approximating $6,000.

Consolidated Net Income Attributable to Unifi, Inc.

Net Income for fiscal 2016 was $34,415, or $1.93 per basic share, compared to $42,151, or $2.32 per basic share, for fiscal 2015.  After considering the loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,040 recorded in fiscal 2015, the decrease in Net Income is primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in earnings from PAL (as discussed above), (ii) a more favorable effective tax rate in fiscal 2015, (iii) further unfavorable devaluation of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar and (iv) an increase in the provision for bad debts, partially offset by (a) an increase in gross profit, (b) a decrease in SG&A expenses and (c) improved earnings from our nylon joint ventures.

40

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

From fiscal 2015 to fiscal 2016, Adjusted EBITDA increased from $59,610 to $65,357.  As addressed above, the improvement in gross profit was the primary driver for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

UNIFI’s primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and stock repurchases.  UNIFI’s primary sources of capital are cash generated from operations and borrowings available under the ABL Revolver of its credit facility.  For fiscal 2017, cash generated from operations was $46,062, and at June 25, 2017, excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $65,064.

As of June 25, 2017, all of UNIFI’s $129,468 of debt obligations were guaranteed by certain of its domestic operating subsidiaries, while nearly all of UNIFI’s cash and cash equivalents were held by its foreign subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents held by such other subsidiaries may not be presently available to fund UNIFI’s domestic capital requirements, including its domestic debt obligations. UNIFI employs a variety of tax planning and financing strategies to ensure that its worldwide cash is available in the locations where it is needed. The following table presents a summary of cash and cash equivalents, liquidity, working capital and total debt obligations as of June 25, 2017 for domestic operations compared to foreign operations:

	Domestic		Foreign		Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$	18	$	35,407	$	35,425
Borrowings available under financing arrangements		65,064		—		65,064
Liquidity	$	65,082	$	35,407	$	100,489
Working capital	$	78,799	$	88,784	$	167,583
Total debt obligations	$	129,468	$	—	$	129,468

UNIFI received a $6,800 dividend distribution from PAL on June 28, 2017, subsequent to UNIFI’s fiscal 2017.

As of June 25, 2017, U.S. income taxes were not provided for a cumulative total of approximately $80,300 of undistributed earnings and profits of UNIFI’s foreign subsidiaries as UNIFI currently intends to reinvest these earnings in these foreign operations indefinitely.  If at a later date, these earnings were repatriated to the United States, UNIFI would be required to pay taxes on these amounts.  Nevertheless, in future periods, UNIFI will continue to assess the existing circumstances, including any changes in tax laws, and reevaluate the necessity for any deferred tax liability.  Determination of the amount of any deferred tax liability on these undistributed earnings is not practicable.

ABL Facility

On March 26, 2015, Unifi, Inc. 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 principal increases occurred in both November 2015 and November 2016 as discussed in further detail below.  The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020.

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

The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all owned property and assets (together with all 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 UNIFI) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties, together with all proceeds and products thereof.

If excess availability under the ABL Revolver falls below the defined Trigger Level, a financial covenant requiring the Loan Parties to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.00 becomes effective. The Trigger Level as of June 25, 2017 was $24,375. In addition, the ABL Facility contains restrictions on particular payments and investments, including certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and share

42

repurchases. Subject to specific provisions, the ABL Term Loan may be prepaid at par, in whole or in part, at any time before the maturity date, at UNIFI’s discretion.

ABL Facility borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, or the Base Rate (as defined below) plus an applicable margin of 0.50% to 1.00%, with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. The applicable margin is based on (i) the excess availability under the ABL Revolver and (ii) the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter. The Base Rate means the greater of (a) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% and (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%. UNIFI’s ability to borrow under the ABL Revolver is limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to certain conditions and limitations. There is also a monthly unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25%.

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI was in compliance with all financial covenants and the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $65,064.  At June 25, 2017, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 0.84 to 1.0 and UNIFI had $400 of standby letters of credit, none of which have been drawn upon.

Second Amendment

On November 19, 2015, UNIFI entered into the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment increased the percentage applied to real estate valuations, on a one-time basis, from 60% to 75%, for purposes of calculating the ABL Term Loan collateral. Simultaneous to entering into the Second Amendment, UNIFI entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Term Note, thereby resetting the ABL Term Loan balance to $95,000.

Capital Lease Obligations

During fiscal 2017, UNIFI recorded capital leases with an aggregate present value of $14,070, inclusive of the reclassification activity described below under the subheading “—Construction Financing.”  The weighted average interest rate for these capital leases is 3.9%.

During fiscal 2016, UNIFI entered into capital leases with an aggregate present value of $4,154.

Construction Financing

During fiscal 2016, UNIFI entered into an agreement with a third-party lender that provided for construction-period financing for certain build-to-suit assets. UNIFI recorded project costs to construction in progress and the corresponding liability to construction financing (within long-term debt). As of June 26, 2016, the principal balance of $6,629 included $790 of cash received by UNIFI and $5,839 for construction in progress paid by the third-party lender.

During fiscal 2017, asset construction was completed and the project costs were reclassified from construction in progress to capital lease assets. The principal balance of $13,725 was reclassified to capital lease obligations and amortizes over a five-year period on a monthly basis through May 2022, with an interest rate of 3.8%.

Renewables’ Term Loan and Promissory Note

During the period that UNIFI held a controlling interest in Renewables, the joint venture borrowed $4,000 against a term loan supplement to a master loan agreement and delivered a promissory note for $135, all in efforts to expand operations and secure additional land. Such borrowings were outstanding at June 26, 2016.  Upon the sale of its 60% equity ownership interest in Renewables in December 2016, UNIFI deconsolidated the corresponding assets and liabilities and, accordingly, the respective debt principal balances are appropriately excluded from UNIFI’s total long-term debt as of June 25, 2017.  UNIFI has no liability for such debt.  

43

Scheduled Debt Maturities

The following table presents the scheduled maturities of UNIFI’s outstanding debt obligations for the following five fiscal years and thereafter:

	Fiscal 2018		Fiscal 2019		Fiscal 2020		Fiscal 2021		Fiscal 2022		Thereafter
ABL Revolver	$	—	$	—	$	9,300	$	—	$	—	$	—
ABL Term Loan		10,000		10,000		75,000		—		—		—
Capital lease obligations		7,060		6,996		5,519		2,624		2,418		551
Total	$	17,060	$	16,996	$	89,819	$	2,624	$	2,418	$	551

Further discussion of the terms and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement and the Company’s existing indebtedness is outlined in Note 12, “Long-Term Debt,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Working Capital

The following table presents the components of working capital and the reconciliation from working capital to Adjusted Working Capital:

	June 25, 2017			June 26, 2016
Cash and cash equivalents	$	35,425		$	16,646
Receivables, net		81,121			83,422
Inventories		111,405			103,532
Other current assets		15,686			8,292
Accounts payable		(41,499	)		(41,593	)
Accrued expenses		(16,144	)		(18,474	)
Other current liabilities		(18,411	)		(15,241	)
Working capital	$	167,583		$	136,584
Less: Cash and cash equivalents		(35,425	)		(16,646	)
Less: Other current assets		(15,686	)		(8,292	)
Less: Other current liabilities		18,411			15,241
Adjusted Working Capital	$	134,883		$	126,887

Working capital increased from $136,584 as of June 26, 2016 to $167,583 as of June 25, 2017, while Adjusted Working Capital increased from $126,887 to $134,883. Working capital and Adjusted Working Capital are within the range of management’s expectations based on the composition of the underlying business and global structure.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents reflects the strong performance of our international subsidiaries and the intent to leave cash available in foreign jurisdictions for future expansion. The decrease in receivables, net is insignificant. The increase in inventories is attributable to higher inventory units during the start-up phase of our REPREVE^® Bottle Processing Center and sales growth from our international operations. The increase in other current assets is primarily attributable to an increase in income taxes receivable due to lower income for UNIFI’s domestic operations. The decrease in accounts payable is insignificant. The decrease in accrued expenses is primarily attributable to the fiscal 2017 payment of amounts due to two former executives. The increase in other current liabilities reflects the higher current portion of long-term debt, primarily attributable to new capital leases.

Capital Projects

During fiscal 2017, we invested approximately $40,000 in capital projects (including amounts funded by a construction financing arrangement). The most significant investment was the completion of our REPREVE^® Bottle Processing Center at UNIFI’s existing facility in Reidsville, North Carolina. This bottle processing plant is expected to process 75 million pounds of plastic bottle flake annually, in support of our growing focus on recycling and sustainability, especially with the REPREVE^® brand and its expanding portfolio. UNIFI also made investments

44

towards (i) completing the fourth REPREVE^® Recycling Center production line, (ii) installing a bi-component spinning line to produce high-value yarns and (iii) additional machinery modifications to meet the ever-changing demands of the market, in support of the PVA product portfolio. These investments were primarily for the Polyester Segment.

In fiscal 2016, we invested approximately $60,000 in capital projects, as we (i) neared completion of the bottle processing plant at our existing facility in Reidsville, North Carolina, (ii) commenced an expansion of our REPREVE^® Recycling Center which will allow UNIFI to increase its annual production capacity above the current 72 million pounds, (iii) enhanced our automation systems in our Yadkinville, North Carolina POY facility to handle the increasingly complex product mix, (iv) converted more machinery to accommodate smaller production runs, and (v) further increased our air-jet texturing capacity to capture more market share through our position as the leading technical and quality producer.  These initiatives were designed to support our mix enrichment strategies, while also improving our ability to service customers.

In fiscal 2018, UNIFI expects to invest an additional $35,000 in capital projects, which include (i) placing equipment in Asia in support of our expanding product portfolio and growth opportunities in that region, (ii) completing the fourth production line in the REPREVE^® Recycling Center, (iii) making further improvements in production capabilities and technology enhancements in the Americas and (iv) annual maintenance capital expenditures.  UNIFI will seek to ensure maintenance capital expenditures are sufficient to allow continued production at high efficiencies.

The total amount ultimately invested for fiscal 2018 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 and borrowings under the ABL Revolver.  UNIFI expects the recent capital projects to provide benefits to future profitability. The additional assets from these capital projects consist primarily of machinery and equipment and building additions.

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

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

UNIFI made no share repurchases during fiscal 2017, and repurchased a total of 206 shares during fiscal 2016 at an average price of $30.13.  As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI 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) pursuant to its two Board-approved stock repurchase programs.  $27,603 remained available for share repurchases as of June 25, 2017.

Liquidity Summary

UNIFI 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.  UNIFI believes that its existing cash balances, cash provided by operating activities, and borrowings available under the ABL Revolver will enable UNIFI to comply with the terms of its indebtedness and meet its foreseeable liquidity requirements.  Domestically, UNIFI’s cash balances, cash provided by operating activities and borrowings available under the ABL Revolver continue to be sufficient to fund UNIFI’s domestic operating activities as well as cash commitments for its investing and financing activities.  For its existing foreign operations, UNIFI expects its existing cash balances and cash provided by operating activities will provide the needed liquidity to fund its foreign operating activities and any foreign investing activities, such as future capital expenditures. However, expansion of our foreign operations may require cash sourced from our domestic subsidiaries.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

The significant components of net cash provided by operating activities are summarized below. UNIFI analyzes net cash provided by operating activities utilizing the major components of the statements of cash flows prepared under the indirect method.

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017			June 26, 2016			June 28, 2015
Net income including non-controlling interest	$	32,377		$	33,170		$	40,466
Depreciation and amortization expense		20,368			17,528			18,043
Loss on sale of business		1,662			—			—
Loss on extinguishment of debt		—			—			1,040
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates		(4,230	)		(8,963	)		(19,475	)
Subtotal		50,177			41,735			40,074
Distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates		2,322			4,732			3,718
Deferred income taxes		6,886			5,983			(3,796	)
Other changes		(13,323	)		3,525			(1,093	)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	46,062		$	55,975		$	38,903

Fiscal 2017 Compared to Fiscal 2016

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities from fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2017 is primarily due to an increase in working capital in fiscal 2017, as indicated in the Other changes above. Such increase in working capital is primarily attributable to an increase in inventories due to comparatively higher international sales and an increase in income taxes receivable. Also, as PAL’s performance is comparatively weaker, routine tax distributions received by the Company have declined accordingly by approximately $2,400.

These decreases were partially offset by higher earnings of $50,177 in fiscal 2017 versus $41,735 in fiscal 2016 (as indicated in the Subtotal above which reconciles for changes in the listed non-cash activity).

Fiscal 2016 Compared to Fiscal 2015

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities from fiscal 2015 to fiscal 2016 is primarily attributable to significantly lower taxes paid of approximately $7,000 in fiscal 2016 (due, in large part, to the favorable depreciation provisions of the PATH Act of 2015, enacted in December 2015). Further, earnings were approximately $1,700 higher than the prior period (noted via the Subtotal above). Such favorability is primarily attributable to improved gross profits in fiscal 2016, along with lower SG&A expenses.

Additionally, other changes in assets and liabilities grew favorably, primarily attributable to a favorable change in inventories for fiscal 2016, reflecting lower raw material prices, whereas fiscal 2015 was impacted by a build of raw material inventories in support of expanded recycling activities. However, fiscal 2016 was unfavorably impacted by lower customer receipts during June 2016 compared to June 2015.

Cash Used in Investing Activities and Financing Activities

Fiscal 2017

UNIFI utilized $33,382 for net investing activities and was provided $6,504 from net financing activities during fiscal 2017. Significant investing activities include $33,190 for capital expenditures, which primarily relate to the addition of machinery, equipment and infrastructure for UNIFI’s REPREVE^® Bottle Processing Center at our existing facility in Reidsville, North Carolina, which started production in August 2016, along with other capital expenditures to improve UNIFI’s manufacturing flexibility and capability to produce PVA products and to increase the capacity of our REPREVE^® Recycling Center.

Significant financing activities include $7,850 for net borrowings against the ABL Facility and $4,700 for payments on capital lease obligations, partially offset by $2,787 of proceeds from stock option exercises.

Fiscal 2016

UNIFI utilized $52,892 for net investing activities and was provided $3,642 from net financing activities during fiscal 2016. Significant investing activities include $52,337 for capital expenditures, which primarily relate to the addition of machinery, equipment and infrastructure for UNIFI’s new plastic bottle processing plant at our existing facility in Reidsville, North Carolina, along with other capital expenditures to improve UNIFI’s manufacturing flexibility and capability to produce PVA products and to increase the capacity of our REPREVE^® Recycling Center.  

Significant financing activities include (i) $9,325 for net borrowings against the ABL Facility and (ii) $4,000 borrowed against a term loan supplement, partially offset by (a) $4,090 for payments on capital lease obligations and (b) $6,211 for stock repurchases.

Fiscal 2015

UNIFI utilized $22,541 for net investing activities and $18,190 for net financing activities during fiscal 2015.  Significant investing activities include $25,966 for capital expenditures, which primarily relate to (i) improving UNIFI’s manufacturing flexibility and capability to produce PVA products, (ii) increasing the capacity of our  REPREVE^® Recycling Center and (iii) adding to the capacity, flexibility and efficiency of UNIFI’s facilities in Yadkinville and Madison, North Carolina and El Salvador through the addition of texturing machines.

Significant financing activities include net repayments of $6,875 on the ABL Facility and $10,360 for stock repurchases.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI’s contractual obligations consisted of the following:

	Cash Payments Due By Period
Description of Commitment	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More Than 5 Years
ABL Revolver	$	9,300	$	—	$	9,300	$	—	$	—

Other long-term obligations (2)		3,500		235		121		62		3,082
Subtotal	$	133,893	$	17,740	$	107,416	$	5,104	$	3,633
Interest on long-term debt and other obligations (3)		10,222		4,249		5,656		243		74

Purchase obligations (5)		29,883		14,195		14,886		373		429
Total cash payments by period	$	185,870	$	43,773	$	130,919	$	7,042	$	4,136

(1) Contingent consideration payments are reflected at present value based on the expected future payments used in the underlying fair value determination.

(2) Other long-term obligations do not include an estimate of the timing of potential tax payments related to uncertain tax positions; therefore, $5,077 has been excluded from the table above.

(3) Interest payments on variable-rate debt instruments are calculated for future periods using interest rates and terms in effect at June 25, 2017.

(4) Capital purchase obligations relate to contracts with vendors for the construction of assets.

(5) Purchase obligations primarily consist of utility, software and other service agreements.

For purposes of the above table, purchase obligations are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI’s open purchase orders totaled approximately $33,000 and were expected to be settled in fiscal 2018.  These open purchase orders are in the ordinary course of business for the procurement of (i) raw materials used in the production of inventory, (ii) certain consumables and outsourced services used in UNIFI’s manufacturing processes and (iii) selected finished goods for resale sourced from third-party suppliers.

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had $400 of standby letters of credit, none of which have been drawn upon.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Issued and Pending Adoption

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new accounting guidance for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Subsequent Accounting Standards Updates (“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 UNIFI has not yet determined the effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, UNIFI 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 UNIFI’s primary and material revenue activities are determinable and lack significant timing considerations. UNIFI is currently performing the following activities regarding implementation: (a) reviewing material contracts and (b) assessing accounting policy elections and disclosures under the new guidance. 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.

48

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory, which modifies the subsequent measurement of inventories recorded under a first-in, first-out or average cost method. Under the new standard, such inventories are required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new standard is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2018, with prospective application. UNIFI’s existing principles for inventory measurement include consideration of net realizable value and, therefore, adoption is expected to have no significant impact to UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

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 UNIFI has not yet determined the full effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, as of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had approximately $6,400 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 UNIFI’s fiscal 2020, and early adoption is permitted.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, while reducing cost and complexity. The ASU is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2018. UNIFI expects this guidance to impact the provision for income taxes in future periods, but the timing and magnitude of such impact is not estimable.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The ASU is intended to improve and simplify accounting rules around hedge accounting. The ASU is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2020 and early adoption is permitted.  UNIFI is evaluating the effect the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance of debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. In fiscal 2017, UNIFI adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis, restating the corresponding line items of the consolidated balance sheets.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, providing criteria for determining if a license of software, as part of a cloud services arrangement, is subject to capitalization under the existing guidance for internal-use software. UNIFI adopted the guidance in fiscal 2017 and there was no significant impact to UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

There have been no other newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have had, or are expected to have, a significant impact on UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

UNIFI 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 UNIFI’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

49

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 estimate from quarter to quarter could materially impact the presentation of the financial statements.  The following discussion provides further information about accounting policies critical to UNIFI and should be read in conjunction with Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Receivables Reserves

An allowance for losses is provided for known and potential losses arising from yarn quality claims and for amounts owed by customers.  Reserves for yarn quality claims are based on historical claim experience and known pending claims.  The collectability of accounts receivable is based on a combination of factors, including the aging of accounts, historical write off experience, present economic conditions such as customer bankruptcy filings, and the financial health of specific customers and market sectors.  Since losses depend to a large degree on future economic conditions and the health of the textile industry, a significant level of judgment is required to arrive at the allowance for uncollectible accounts. This allowance is established based on percentages applied to accounts aged for set periods of time, supplemented by reserves for individual customer accounts where collection is no longer certain.  Establishing reserves for yarn claims and uncollectible accounts requires management judgment and estimates.  UNIFI does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates and assumptions it uses to assess the allowance for losses.  However, certain unexpected events such as a customer bankruptcy filing could have a material impact on UNIFI’s results of operations.  UNIFI has not made any material changes to the methodology used in establishing its accounts receivable loss reserves during the past three fiscal years.A plus or minus 10% change in the aged accounts receivable reserve percentages would not have been material to UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements for the past three fiscal years.

Inventory Reserves

Inventory reserves are established based on many factors, including historical recovery rates, the aging of inventories on-hand, inventory movement and expected net realizable value of specific products, and current economic conditions.  Specific reserves are established based on a determination of the obsolescence of the inventory and whether the inventory value exceeds amounts to be recovered through expected sales prices less selling costs.  Estimating sales prices and evaluating the condition of the inventories require judgment and estimates, which may impact the ending inventory valuation and gross margins.  UNIFI uses current and historical knowledge to record reasonable estimates of its markdown percentages and expected sales prices.  UNIFI believes it is unlikely that differences in actual demand or selling prices from those projected by management would have a material impact on UNIFI’s financial condition or results of operations.  UNIFI has not made any material changes to the methodology used in establishing its inventory loss reserves during the past three fiscal years.A plus or minus 10% change in its aged inventory reserves would not have been material to UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements for the past three fiscal years.

50

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  For assets held for sale, an impairment charge is recognized if the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value less costs to sell.  Estimates are required to determine the fair value, the disposal costs and the time period to dispose of the assets.  Such estimates are critical in determining whether any impairment charge should be recorded and the amount of such charge if an impairment loss is deemed to be necessary.  For assets held and used, impairment may occur if projected undiscounted cash flows are not adequate to cover the carrying value of the assets.  In such cases, additional analysis is conducted to determine the amount of loss to be recognized, and the impairment loss is determined as the amount the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the estimated fair value, measured by future discounted cash flows.  The analysis requires estimates of the amount and timing of projected cash flows and, where applicable, judgment associated with, among other factors, the appropriate discount rate.  Such estimates are critical in determining whether any impairment charge should be recorded and the amount of such charge if an impairment loss is deemed to be necessary.  UNIFI’s judgment regarding the existence of circumstances that indicate the potential impairment of an asset’s carrying value is based on several factors, including, but not limited to, changes in business environment, a decline in operating cash flows or a decision to close a manufacturing facility.  The variability of these factors depends on a number of conditions, including uncertainty about future events and general economic conditions.

Impairment of Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

UNIFI evaluates its investments in unconsolidated affiliates whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  UNIFI evaluates the ability of an affiliate to generate sufficient earnings and cash flows to justify its carrying value.  Reductions in an affiliate’s cash flows that are other than temporary and indicative of a loss of investment value are assessed for impairment purposes.  For fiscal 2017, UNIFI determined there were no “other-than-temporary” impairments related to the carrying value of its investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

Valuation Allowance for Deferred Tax Assets

UNIFI currently has a valuation allowance against certain of its deferred tax assets in the United States and foreign subsidiaries due to negative evidence concerning the realization of those deferred tax assets.  The deferred tax valuation allowance at June 25, 2017 was $17,957.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income of the appropriate character during the periods in which those temporary differences reverse. Management considers the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback periods, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  UNIFI reviews its estimates of future taxable income on a quarterly basis to assess if the need for a valuation allowance exists.  UNIFI continually evaluates both positive and negative evidence to determine whether and when the valuation allowance, or a portion thereof, should be released.  A release of the valuation allowance could have a material effect on earnings in the period of release.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

UNIFI is exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and raw material and commodity costs, which may adversely affect its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  UNIFI does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, nor is it a party to any leveraged financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

UNIFI is exposed to interest rate risk through its borrowing activities.  As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had borrowings under its ABL Revolver and ABL Term Loan that totaled $104,300 and contain variable rates of interest; however, UNIFI hedges a significant portion of such interest rate variability using interest rate swaps.  As of June 25, 2017, after

51

considering the variable rate debt obligations that have been hedged and UNIFI’s outstanding debt obligations with fixed rates of interest, UNIFI’s sensitivity analysis shows that a 50-basis point increase in LIBOR as of June 25, 2017 would result in an increase in annual interest expense of less than $300.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

UNIFI conducts its business in various foreign countries and in various foreign currencies.  Each of UNIFI’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 UNIFI to foreign currency exchange risk.  UNIFI may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge this exposure.  UNIFI may also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure for certain equipment or inventory purchase commitments.  As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had no outstanding foreign forward currency contracts.

A significant portion of raw materials purchased by UNIFI’s Brazilian subsidiary are denominated in U.S. Dollars, requiring UNIFI to regularly exchange Brazilian Real. During recent fiscal years, UNIFI was negatively impacted by a devaluation of the Brazilian Real. For fiscal 2015, the Brazilian Real declined approximately 40% in relation to the U.S. Dollar, thereby reducing the utility of cash and cash equivalents held by UNIFI’s Brazilian subsidiary.  Discussion and analysis surrounding the impact of fluctuations of the Brazilian Real on UNIFI’s results of operations is included above in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI’s subsidiaries outside the United States, whose functional currency is other than the U.S. Dollar, held approximately 14.6% of UNIFI’s consolidated total assets. UNIFI does not enter into foreign currency derivatives to hedge its net investment in its foreign operations.

As of June 25, 2017, $28,683, or 81.0%, of UNIFI’s cash and cash equivalents were held outside the United States, of which approximately $23,829 were held in U.S. Dollar equivalents.

More information regarding UNIFI’s derivative financial instruments as of June 25, 2017 is provided in Note 18, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Raw Material and Commodity Cost Risks

A significant portion of UNIFI’s raw materials and energy costs are derived from petroleum-based chemicals.  The prices for petroleum and petroleum-related products and energy costs are volatile and dependent on global supply and demand dynamics, including certain geo-political risks.  UNIFI does not use financial instruments to hedge its exposure to changes in these costs.  The costs of the primary raw materials that UNIFI 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

UNIFI is also exposed to political risk, including changing laws and regulations governing international trade, such as quotas, tariffs and tax laws.  The degree of impact and the frequency of these events cannot be predicted.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 25, 2017, an evaluation of the effectiveness of UNIFI’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of UNIFI’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on that evaluation, UNIFI’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that UNIFI’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by UNIFI 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 UNIFI in the reports UNIFI files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to UNIFI’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of UNIFI is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act). UNIFI’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. UNIFI’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of UNIFI; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of UNIFI are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of UNIFI; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of UNIFI’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of UNIFI’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2017, based on the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment, management concluded that, as of June 25, 2017, UNIFI’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The effectiveness of UNIFI’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2017 has been audited by KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), an independent registered public accounting firm. KPMG’s report, which appears in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of UNIFI’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2017.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During UNIFI’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, there has been no change in UNIFI’s internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, UNIFI’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Unifi, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Unifi, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 25, 2017 and June 26, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 25, 2017. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Unifi, Inc.’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Unifi, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 25, 2017 and June 26, 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 25, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Unifi, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated September 1, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Unifi, Inc.:

We have audited Unifi, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Unifi, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Unifi, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Unifi, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 25, 2017 and June 26, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 25, 2017, and our report dated September 1, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

All amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands (000s), unless otherwise noted.

Fiscal Year

The fiscal year end for Unifi, Inc. and its subsidiary in El Salvador ends on the last Sunday in June. Unifi, Inc.’s fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 ended on June 25, 2017, June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively. Unifi, Inc.’s Brazilian, Chinese, Colombian and Sri Lankan subsidiaries’ fiscal years end on June 30th. There were no significant transactions or events that occurred between the fiscal year ends of Unifi, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Unifi, Inc.’s fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 all consisted of 52 fiscal weeks.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior fiscal years’ data have been made to conform to the fiscal 2017 presentation.

UNIFI 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 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 June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting. As shown in the table below, unamortized debt issuance costs associated with outstanding debt have been reclassified to conform to the new presentation requirements as follows:

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

UNIFI follows U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The significant accounting policies described below, together with the other notes to the consolidated financial statements that follow, are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unifi, Inc. and its subsidiaries in which it maintains a controlling financial interest.  All account balances and transactions between Unifi, Inc. and the subsidiaries which it controls have been eliminated.  Investments in entities in which UNIFI is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method.  For transactions with entities accounted for under the equity method, any intercompany profits on amounts still remaining are eliminated.  Amounts originating from any deferral of intercompany profits are recorded within either UNIFI’s investment account or the account balance to which the transaction specifically relates (e.g., inventory).  Only upon settlement of the intercompany transaction with a third party is the deferral of the intercompany profit recognized by UNIFI.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, certain financial statement disclosures at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.  UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.  Actual results may vary from these estimates.  These estimates are reviewed periodically to determine if a change is required.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid, short-term investments having an original maturity of three months or less. Book overdrafts, for which the bank has not advanced cash, if any, are reclassified to accounts payable and reflected as an offset thereto within the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

Receivables

Receivables are stated at their net realizable value.  Allowances are provided for known and potential losses arising from yarn quality claims and for amounts owed by customers.  Reserves for yarn quality claims are based on historical claim experience and known pending claims and are recorded as a reduction of net sales.  The allowance for uncollectible accounts is shown as a reduction of operating income and reflects UNIFI’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical write off experience, aging of trade receivables, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information.  Customer accounts are written off against the allowance for uncollectible accounts when they are no longer deemed to be collectible.

Inventories

UNIFI’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with the cost for the majority of its inventory determined using the first-in, first-out method.  Certain foreign inventories and limited categories of supplies and agricultural inventories are valued using the average cost method.  UNIFI’s estimates for inventory reserves for obsolete, slow-moving or excess inventories are based upon many factors, including historical recovery rates, the aging of inventories on-hand, inventory movement and expected net realizable value of specific products, and current economic conditions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are recorded to long-term debt and amortized as additional interest expense following either the effective interest method or the straight-line method.  In the event of any prepayment of its debt obligations, UNIFI accelerates the recognition of a pro-rata amount of issuance costs and records an extinguishment of debt.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  Plant and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments less accumulated amortization. Additions or improvements that substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset are capitalized.  Depreciation is calculated primarily utilizing the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

Asset categories	Useful lives in years
Land improvements	Five to Twenty
Buildings and improvements	Fifteen to Forty
Machinery and equipment	Two to Twenty-five
Computer, software and office equipment	Three to Seven
Internal software development costs	Three
Transportation equipment	Three to Fifteen

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the lease.

Assets under capital leases are amortized in a manner consistent with UNIFI’s normal depreciation policy if ownership is transferred by the end of the lease, or if there is a bargain purchase option. If such ownership criteria are not met, amortization occurs over the shorter of the lease term or the asset’s useful life.

UNIFI capitalizes its costs of developing internal software when the software is used as an integral part of its manufacturing or business processes and the technological feasibility has been established.  Internal software costs are amortized over a period of three years and, in accordance with the project type, charged to cost of sales or selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in cost and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service.  In the case of disposals, asset costs and related accumulated depreciation amounts are removed from the accounts, and the net amounts, less proceeds from disposal, are included in the determination of net income and presented within other operating (income) expense, net.

Repair and maintenance costs related to PP&E which do not significantly increase the useful life of an existing asset or do not significantly alter, modify or change the capabilities or production capacity of an existing asset are expensed as incurred.

Interest is capitalized for capital projects requiring a construction period.

PP&E and other long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale within one year are classified as held for sale and are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  Depreciation ceases for all assets classified as held for sale.  Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are classified as held for use until they are disposed of and these assets are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value.

Intangible Assets

Finite-lived intangible assets, such as customer lists, non-compete agreements, licenses, trademarks and patents, are amortized over their estimated useful lives.  UNIFI periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of

F-10

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

these assets.  Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed from the accounts.  These assets are reviewed for impairment or obsolescence whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques.  UNIFI has no intangibles with indefinite lives.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

UNIFI evaluates its investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Derivative Instruments

All derivatives are carried on the balance sheet at fair value and are classified according to their asset or liability position and the expected timing of settlement.  On the date the derivative contract is entered into, UNIFI may designate the derivative into one of the following categories:

• Fair value hedge – a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or a firm commitment.  Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, as well as the offsetting gains and losses on the hedged items, are reported in income in the same period.

• Cash flow hedge – a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability.  The effective portion of gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, until the underlying transactions are recognized in income.  When the hedged item is realized, gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to current period earnings on the same line item as the underlying transaction.

• Net investment hedge – if a derivative is used as a foreign currency hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, its changes in fair value, to the extent effective as a hedge, are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Any ineffective portion of a designated hedge is immediately recognized in current period earnings. Derivatives that are not designated for hedge accounting are marked to market at the end of each period with the changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings.  Settlements of any fair value or cash flow derivative contracts are classified as cash flows from operating activities.

Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market, or if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (the exit price).  Fair value is based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  UNIFI uses the following to measure fair value for its assets and liabilities:

• Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either indirectly or directly.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

The classification of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded to recognize the expected future tax benefits or costs of events that have been, or will be, reported in different tax years for financial statement purposes than for tax purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which these items are expected to reverse.  UNIFI reviews deferred tax assets to determine if it is more-likely-than-not they will be realized.  If UNIFI determines it is not more-likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will be realized, it records a valuation allowance to reverse the previously recognized benefit.  Provision is made for taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and related companies to the extent that such earnings are not deemed to be permanently invested.

UNIFI recognizes tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions if it believes it is more-likely-than-not of being sustained.  Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized.  UNIFI accrues for other tax contingencies when it is probable that a liability to a taxing authority has been incurred and the amount of the contingency can be reasonably estimated.  Income tax expense related to penalties and interest, if incurred, is included in provision for income taxes.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation expense for stock awards is based on the grant date fair value and expensed over the applicable vesting period.  UNIFI has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy stock option exercises.  For awards with a service condition and a graded vesting schedule, UNIFI has elected an accounting policy of recognizing compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separate vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. Dollar are translated at exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates.  Translation gains and losses are not included in determining net income, but are presented in a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.  UNIFI translates the results of operations of its foreign operations at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. Transaction gains and losses are included within other operating (income) expense, net.

Revenue Recognition

UNIFI recognizes revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) title and the risks of ownership have been transferred to the customer and (iv) collection of the receivable is reasonably assured.  For the sale of goods, revenue recognition occurs primarily upon shipment.  For service arrangements, revenue is recognized (a) when transportation services have been completed in accordance with the bill of lading contract or (b) in accordance with contractual agreements with customers utilizing the criteria above. Revenue includes amounts for duties and import taxes, interest billed to customers, and shipping and handling costs billed to customers.  Revenue excludes value-added taxes or other sales taxes and includes any applicable deductions for returns and allowances, yarn claims and discounts.

Cost of Sales

The major components of cost of sales are: (i) materials and supplies, (ii) labor and fringe benefits, (iii) utility and overhead costs associated with manufactured products, (iv) cost of products purchased for resale, (v) shipping, handling and warehousing costs, (vi) research and development costs, (vii) depreciation expense and (viii) all other costs related to production or providing service activities.

Shipping, Handling and Warehousing Costs

Shipping, handling and warehousing costs include costs to store goods prior to shipment, prepare goods for shipment and physically move goods to customers.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs include employee costs, production costs related to customer samples, operating supplies, consulting fees and other miscellaneous costs.  The cost of research and development is charged to expense as incurred.  Research and development costs were as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017		June 26, 2016		June 28, 2015
Research and development costs	$	7,177	$	6,907	$	8,113

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The major components of SG&A expenses are: (i) costs of UNIFI’s sales force, marketing and advertising efforts, and commissions, (ii) costs of maintaining UNIFI’s general and administrative support functions including executive management, information technology, human resources, legal and finance, (iii) amortization of intangible assets and (iv) all other costs required to be classified as SG&A expenses.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in SG&A expenses.  UNIFI’s advertising costs include spending for items such as consumer marketing and branding initiatives, promotional items, trade shows, sponsorships and other programs.  Advertising costs were as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017		June 26, 2016		June 28, 2015
Advertising costs	$	3,070	$	4,844	$	3,975

Self-Insurance

UNIFI self-insures certain risks such as employee healthcare claims.  Reserves for incurred but not reported healthcare claims are estimated using historical data, the timeliness of claims processing, medical trends, inflation and any changes, if applicable, in the nature or type of the plan.

Contingencies

At any point in time, UNIFI may be a party to various pending legal proceedings, claims or environmental actions.  Accruals for estimated losses are recorded at the time information becomes available indicating that losses are probable and estimable.  Any amounts accrued are not discounted.  Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

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 UNIFI has not yet determined the effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, UNIFI 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 UNIFI’s primary and material revenue activities are determinable and lack significant timing considerations. UNIFI is currently performing the following activities regarding implementation: (a) reviewing material contracts and (b) assessing accounting policy elections and disclosures under the new guidance. 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory, which modifies the subsequent measurement of inventories recorded under a first-in, first-out or average cost method. Under the new standard, such inventories are required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new standard is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2018, with prospective application. UNIFI’s existing principles for inventory measurement include consideration of net realizable value and, therefore, adoption is expected to have no significant impact to UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

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 UNIFI has not yet determined the full effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, as of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had approximately $6,400 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 UNIFI’s fiscal 2020, and early adoption is permitted.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, while reducing cost and complexity. The ASU is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2018. UNIFI expects this guidance to impact the provision for income taxes in future periods, but the timing and magnitude of such impact is not estimable.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The ASU is intended to improve and simplify accounting rules around hedge accounting. The ASU is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2020 and early adoption is permitted. UNIFI is evaluating the effect the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, providing criteria for determining if a license of software, as part of a cloud services arrangement, is subject to capitalization under the existing guidance for internal-use software. UNIFI adopted the guidance in fiscal 2017 and there was no significant impact to UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

Based on UNIFI’s review of ASUs, there have been no other newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have had, or are expected to have, a significant impact on UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

4. Sale of Renewables

On December 23, 2016, UNIFI, 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 its existing third-party joint venture partner for $500 in cash and release of certain debt obligations (the “RR Sale”). UNIFI had no continuing involvement in the operations of Renewables subsequent to December 23, 2016.

In connection with the RR Sale, UNIFI recognized a loss on sale of business, reflecting the difference between the cash consideration received and UNIFI’s portion of Renewables’ net assets on the date of the RR Agreement. The operations of Renewables during the period of UNIFI’s ownership are not reflected as discontinued operations as (i) the enterprise does not have a major effect on UNIFI’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 consolidated statements of income.

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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

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 UNIFI’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 25, 2016, as summarized in the table below.

Total intangible assets, net	$	2,158		$	3,741

In fiscal 2007, UNIFI purchased certain texturing operations that are included in the 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 13 years was determined.  The customer list is amortized through December 2019, in a manner which reflects the expected economic benefit that will be received over its 13-year life.  The non-compete agreement is amortized through December 2017, using the straight-line method over the period currently covered by the agreement.

A customer list and a non-compete agreement were recorded in connection with a business combination in fiscal 2014, utilizing similar valuation methods as described above for the fiscal 2007 transaction. The customer list is amortized over a nine-year estimated useful life based on the expected economic benefit.  The non-compete agreement is amortized using the straight line method over the five-year term of the agreement.

In fiscal 2012, UNIFI acquired a controlling interest in Renewables, an agricultural company focused on the development, production and commercialization of miscanthus grass for use in the animal bedding, bio energy and bio-based products markets.  The acquisition and operations of such enterprise resulted in the capitalization of certain intangible assets.  The non-compete agreement for Renewables was amortized using the straight-line method over the five-year term of the agreement.  The license was amortized using the straight-line method over its

F-17

Unifi, Inc.

estimated useful life of eight years.  As described in Note 4, “Sale of Renewables,” UNIFI sold such controlling interest in fiscal 2017, deconsolidating all of the related assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest.

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

Amortization expense for intangible assets consists of the following:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017		June 26, 2016		June 28, 2015

ABL Facility

On March 26, 2015, Unifi, Inc. 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 principal increases occurred in November 2015 and November 2016 as discussed in further detail below. The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020.

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

The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all owned property and assets (together with all 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 UNIFI) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties, together with all proceeds and products thereof.

If excess availability under the ABL Revolver falls below the defined Trigger Level, a financial covenant requiring the Loan Parties to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.00 becomes effective. The Trigger Level as of June 25, 2017 was $24,375. In addition, the ABL Facility contains restrictions on particular payments and investments, including certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and share

F-19

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

repurchases. Subject to specific provisions, the ABL Term Loan may be prepaid at par, in whole or in part, at any time before the maturity date, at UNIFI’s discretion.

ABL Facility borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, or the Base Rate (as defined below) plus an applicable margin of 0.50% to 1.00%, with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. The applicable margin is based on (i) the excess availability under the ABL Revolver and (ii) the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter. The Base Rate means the greater of (a) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% and (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%. UNIFI’s ability to borrow under the ABL Revolver is limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to certain conditions and limitations. There is also a monthly unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25%.

As of June 25, 2017, the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $65,064. At June 25, 2017, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 0.84 to 1.0 and UNIFI had $400 of standby letters of credit, none of which had been drawn upon.  Management maintains the capability to quickly and easily improve the fixed charge coverage ratio utilizing existing cash resources.

On November 18, 2016, pursuant to the principal reset conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement, UNIFI, 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.

Second Amendment

On November 19, 2015, UNIFI entered into the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment increased the percentage applied to real estate valuations, on a one-time basis, from 60% to 75%, for purposes of calculating the ABL Term Loan collateral. Simultaneous to entering into the Second Amendment, UNIFI entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Term Note, thereby resetting the ABL Term Loan balance to $95,000.

Capital Lease Obligations

During fiscal 2017, UNIFI recorded capital leases with an aggregate present value of $14,070, inclusive of the reclassification activity described below in the subheading “—Construction Financing.”  The weighted average interest rate for these capital leases is 3.9%.

During fiscal 2016, UNIFI entered into capital leases with an aggregate present value of $4,154.

Construction Financing

During fiscal 2016, UNIFI entered into an agreement with a third-party lender that provided for construction-period financing for certain build-to-suit assets. UNIFI recorded project costs to construction in progress and the corresponding liability to construction financing (within long-term debt). As of June 26, 2016, the principal balance of $6,629 included $790 of cash received by UNIFI and $5,839 for construction in progress paid by the third-party lender.

During fiscal 2017, asset construction was completed and the project costs were reclassified from construction in progress to capital lease assets. The principal balance of $13,725 was reclassified to capital lease obligations and amortizes over a five-year period on a monthly basis through May 2022, with an interest rate of 3.8%.

Renewables’ Term Loan and Promissory Note

During the period that UNIFI held a controlling interest in Renewables, the joint venture borrowed $4,000 against a term loan supplement to a master loan agreement and delivered a promissory note for $135, all in efforts to expand operations and secure additional land. Such borrowings were outstanding at June 26, 2016.  As described in Note 4, “Sale of Renewables,” upon the sale of its 60% equity ownership interest in Renewables in December 2016, UNIFI

deconsolidated the corresponding assets and liabilities, and, accordingly, the respective debt principal balances are appropriately excluded from UNIFI’s total long-term debt as of June 25, 2017.  UNIFI has no liability for such debt.

Scheduled Debt Maturities

The following table presents the scheduled maturities of UNIFI’s outstanding debt obligations for the following five fiscal years and thereafter:

	Fiscal 2018		Fiscal 2019		Fiscal 2020		Fiscal 2021		Fiscal 2022		Thereafter

Total	$	17,060	$	16,996	$	89,819	$	2,624	$	2,418	$	551

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Entering into the Amended Credit Agreement in fiscal 2015 generated substantially different terms for the ABL Term Loan and resulted in the replacement of an existing lender. Accordingly, in fiscal 2015, UNIFI recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,040 for the write-off of certain debt financing fees related to the previous credit agreement.

13. Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other		3,905		3,668
Total other long-term liabilities	$	11,804	$	10,393

UNIFI maintains an unfunded supplemental post-employment plan for certain management employees.  Each employee’s account is credited annually based upon a percentage of the participant’s base salary, with each participant’s balance adjusted quarterly to reflect returns based upon a stock market index.  Amounts are paid to participants six months after termination of employment.

Other primarily includes certain retiree and post-employment medical and disability liabilities, deferred revenue and deferred energy incentive credits.

Utilization of Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

In fiscal 2017, UNIFI generated a U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) of $25,500 that it expects to carryback to fiscal 2015 and 2016.  Foreign deferred tax expense includes the utilization of NOL carryforwards of $756, $0 and $147 for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. State deferred tax expense includes the utilization of NOL carryforwards of $26, $42 and $196 for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  

Effective Tax Rate

Reconciliation from the federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate is as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017			June 26, 2016			June 28, 2015
Federal statutory tax rate		35.0	%		35.0	%		35.0	%
Foreign income taxed at different rates		(10.2	)		(7.7	)		(3.2	)
Repatriation of foreign earnings and withholding taxes		1.4			(1.0	)		(0.3	)
Change in valuation allowance		(0.5	)		(3.7	)		(5.6	)
Domestic production activities deduction		2.0			(0.5	)		(1.3	)
Research and other credits		(5.1	)		4.8			(0.4	)
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit		0.2			1.5			1.8
Change in uncertain tax positions		1.8			1.2			5.4
Settlement of certain intercompany foreign currency transactions		—			—			5.6
Indefinite reinvestment assertion		—			—			(14.2	)
Renewable energy credits		—			—			(1.9	)
Nondeductible expenses and other		0.6			1.6			3.9
Effective tax rate		25.2	%		31.2	%		24.8	%

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2017 benefited from, among other things, (i) a lower overall effective tax rate for UNIFI’s foreign earnings (reflecting free-trade zone sales in El Salvador and lower statutory tax rates in both Brazil and China), (ii) increased research and development credits, (iii) a decrease in the valuation allowance reflecting the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for UNIFI’s investment in PAL (for which UNIFI maintains a full valuation allowance) and (iv) a reduction in the valuation allowance related to foreign NOLs utilized in 2017.  These benefits were partially offset by (a) a reduction in the domestic production activities deduction due to the carryback of certain losses, (b) a change in uncertain tax positions and (c) withholding taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2016 benefited from, among other things, (i) a lower overall effective tax rate for UNIFI’s foreign earnings (reflecting free-trade zone sales in El Salvador and lower statutory tax rates in both Brazil and China), (ii) a decrease in the valuation allowance reflecting the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for UNIFI’s investment in PAL (for which UNIFI maintains a full valuation allowance) and (iii) a reduction in the valuation allowance related to foreign tax credits utilized in fiscal 2016.  These benefits were partially offset by (a) utilization of foreign tax credits, (b) an increase in the valuation allowance for NOLs, including Renewables, for which no tax benefit could be recognized, (c) state and local taxes net of the assumed federal benefit and (d) a change in uncertain tax positions.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2015 benefited from, among other things, (i) a lower overall effective tax rate for UNIFI’s foreign earnings (reflecting free-trade zone sales in El Salvador and lower statutory tax rates in both Brazil and China), (ii) the reversal of the indefinite reinvestment assertion which provided for indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings at June 28, 2015, (iii) a decrease in the valuation allowance reflecting the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for UNIFI’s investment in PAL (for which UNIFI maintains a full valuation allowance), (iv) benefits from federal and state credits, especially renewable energy credits in connection with the installation of a solar farm, and (v) the domestic production activities deduction. These benefits were partially offset by (a) the change in uncertain tax positions, (b) an increase in the valuation allowance related to Renewables, (c) certain nondeductible expenses, (d) state income taxes (net of federal benefit) and (e) the settlement of certain intercompany foreign currency transactions.

Deferred Income Taxes - Valuation Allowance

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, UNIFI considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  UNIFI considers the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  Since UNIFI operates in multiple jurisdictions, the assessment is made on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, taking into account the effects of local tax law.

(1) Certain U.S. NOLs and capital losses outside the U.S. consolidated tax filing group.

(2) Presented net of certain NOL carryforward deferred tax assets.

During fiscal 2017, UNIFI’s valuation allowance increased by $4,407.  This increase consisted primarily of $4,241 of foreign losses, and $789 of foreign tax credit carryforwards for which no benefit can be recognized. The increase was partially offset by a net decrease of $582 related to UNIFI’s investment in PAL due to the timing of PAL’s taxable income versus book income.

During fiscal 2016, UNIFI’s valuation allowance decreased by $2,056.  This decrease consisted primarily of $1,159 related to UNIFI’s investment in PAL due to the timing of PAL’s taxable income versus book income and the utilization of $1,680 of foreign tax credits. The decrease was partially offset by a net increase of $858 related to UNIFI’s investment in Renewables and related NOLs as a result of its continued losses.

During fiscal 2015, UNIFI’s valuation allowance decreased by $3,009.  This decrease relates to the timing of taxable income versus book income for PAL, partially offset by a net increase in NOLs for Renewables which were deemed unrealizable, and the disposal of certain miscanthus grass.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

A reconciliation of beginning and ending gross amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017			June 26, 2016			June 28, 2015
Balance at beginning of year	$	4,532		$	4,029		$	983
Gross increases related to current period tax positions		473			110			3,469
Gross increases related to tax positions in prior periods		711			1,058			18
Gross decreases related to settlements with tax authorities		(480	)		(274	)		(178	)
Gross decreases related to lapse of applicable statute of limitations		—			(391	)		(263	)
Balance at end of year	$	5,236		$	4,532		$	4,029

Unrecognized tax benefits would generate a favorable impact of $5,236 on UNIFI’s effective tax rate when recognized. UNIFI does not expect material changes in uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months.  The reversal of interest and penalties recognized by UNIFI within the provision for income taxes were $(42), $(23) and

F-24

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

$(95) for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  UNIFI had $773, $279 and $23 accrued for interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of June 25, 2017, June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively.

Expiration of Net Operating Loss Carryforwards and Foreign Tax Credits

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had U.S. federal NOLs held outside the U.S. consolidated tax filing group of $10,430, which carry a full valuation allowance.  These carryforwards, if unused, will begin to expire in 2030. As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had U.S. federal capital loss carryforwards held outside the U.S. consolidated tax filing group of $4,489, which carry a full valuation allowance.  These carryforwards, if unused, will begin to expire in 2027.

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had $10,325 of state NOL carryforwards in the United States that may be used to offset future taxable income, $6,666 of which are offset by a valuation allowance.  These carryforwards, if unused, will begin to expire in 2022.  As of June 25, 2017, the Company also had U.S. state NOLs held outside the U.S. consolidated tax filing group of $12,796, which are offset by a full valuation allowance.  These carryforwards, if unused, will begin to expire in 2028.

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had foreign NOL carryforwards of $13,468, offset by a full valuation allowance, which, if unused, will begin to expire in 2019.

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had research and development credit carryforwards of $1,274, which, if unused, will begin to expire in 2036.

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had foreign tax credits in foreign jurisdictions of $789 with no expiration, which are offset by a full valuation allowance.

Tax Years Subject to Examination

Unifi, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, as well as income tax returns in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions.  The tax years subject to examination vary by jurisdiction.  UNIFI regularly assesses the outcomes of both completed and ongoing examinations to ensure that UNIFI’s provision for income taxes is sufficient.

In fiscal 2016, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) examined UNIFI’s federal income tax return for fiscal 2013.  The examination closed with no material assessment. On June 29, 2017, UNIFI received a notice of audit from the IRS covering the amended tax returns filed for fiscal 2013, 2014 and 2015.

In fiscal 2016, the North Carolina Department of Revenue initiated an audit for tax periods ending June 24, 2012 to June 29, 2014.  The audit was not concluded at the end of fiscal 2017.  No material assessment is anticipated.

UNIFI is currently under appeal in Colombia for tax years 2006 and 2007.  UNIFI believes it is more-likely-than-not to conclude the appeal with no material assessment.

Statutes related to material foreign jurisdictions are open from January 1, 2012 and material state jurisdictions from June 30, 2013.  Certain carryforward tax attributes generated in years prior remain subject to examination and could change subsequent tax years.

Indefinite Reinvestment Assertion

UNIFI provides for U.S. income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries unless the subsidiaries’ earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested outside the United States.

As of June 25, 2017, U.S. income taxes were not provided for on a cumulative total of approximately $80,300 of undistributed earnings and profits of UNIFI’s foreign subsidiaries as UNIFI currently intends to reinvest these earnings in these foreign operations indefinitely.  If at a later date, these earnings were repatriated to the United States, UNIFI would be required to pay taxes on these amounts.  Nevertheless, in future periods, UNIFI will continue to assess the existing circumstances, including any changes in tax laws, and reevaluate the necessity for any deferred tax liability.  Determination of the amount of any deferred tax liability on these undistributed earnings is not practicable.

15. Shareholders’ Equity

On January 22, 2013, UNIFI announced a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $50,000 of UNIFI’s common stock. UNIFI completed its repurchase of shares under this program in March 2014. On April 23, 2014, UNIFI announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a new stock repurchase program to acquire up to an additional $50,000 of UNIFI’s common stock with no expiration. Purchases under the program may be completed in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission 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 UNIFI’s debt obligations. UNIFI may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not beneficial or advisable. The following table summarizes UNIFI’s repurchases and retirements of its common stock under the stock repurchase programs for the fiscal periods noted.

	Total Number of Shares Repurchased asPart of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs		Average Price Paid per Share		Approximate Dollar Value that May Yet Be Repurchased Under Publicly Announced Plans or Programs
Fiscal 2013		1,068	$	18.08
Fiscal 2014		1,524	$	23.96
Fiscal 2015		349	$	29.72
Fiscal 2016		206	$	30.13
Fiscal 2017		—		—
Total		3,147	$	23.01	$	27,603

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

No dividends were paid in the three most recent fiscal years.

16. Stock-Based Compensation

On October 23, 2013, UNIFI’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 June 25, 2017 with respect to the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the 2013 Plan:

Authorized under the 2013 Plan	1,000
Plus: Awards expired, forfeited or otherwise terminated unexercised from the 2008 LTIP or    the 2013 Plan	343
Less: Awards granted to employees	(561	)
Less: Awards granted to non-employee directors	(101	)
Available for issuance under the 2013 Plan	681

Stock Options

During fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, UNIFI granted stock options to purchase 153, 82 and 150 shares of its common stock, respectively, to certain key employees.  The stock options vest ratably over the required three-year service period and have ten-year contractual terms.  For fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, the weighted average exercise price of the stock options granted was $28.82, $32.36 and $27.38 per share, respectively.  UNIFI used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the weighted average grant date fair value of $10.13, $20.27 and $17.31 per share, respectively.

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

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017			June 26, 2016			June 28, 2015
Expected term (years)		5.0			7.6			7.3
Risk-free interest rate		1.4	%		2.1	%		2.2	%
Volatility		37.9	%		60.5	%		62.6	%
Dividend yield		—			—			—

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

A summary of stock option activity for fiscal 2017 is as follows:

	StockOptions			Weighted Average ExercisePrice		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at June 26, 2016		720		$	14.32
Granted		153		$	28.82

Exercisable at June 25, 2017		287		$	13.77		3.9	$	4,397

At June 25, 2017, all stock options subject to a market condition were vested.

At June 25, 2017, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested stock options was $1,053, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.

For fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $5,802, $598 and $190, respectively.  The amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was $2,787, $181 and $95 for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $1,517, $155 and $73 for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

During fiscal 2017 and 2016, UNIFI granted 150 and 20 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, to certain key employees.  The employee RSUs are subject to a vesting restriction and convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company common stock until such employee RSUs have vested and been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company common stock.  The employee RSUs vest over a three-year period, and will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Company common stock (for distribution to the grantee) on each vesting date, unless the grantee has elected to defer the receipt of the shares of stock until separation from service.  If, after the first

F-27

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

anniversary of the grant date and prior to the final vesting date, the grantee has a separation from service without cause for any reason other than the employee’s resignation, the remaining unvested employee RSUs will become fully vested and will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Company common stock and issued to the grantee.  UNIFI estimated the fair value of each employee RSU granted during fiscal 2017 and 2016 to be $27.66 and $27.46, respectively.

During fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, UNIFI granted 31, 28 and 17 RSUs, respectively, to UNIFI’s non-employee directors.  The director RSUs became fully vested on the grant date.  The director RSUs convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company common stock until such director RSUs have been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company common stock.  The vested director RSUs will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Company common stock and distributed to the grantee following the grantee’s termination of service as a member of the Board.  The grantee may elect to defer receipt of the shares of Company common stock in accordance with the deferral options provided under the Unifi, Inc. Director Deferred Compensation Plan.  UNIFI estimated the fair value of each director RSU granted during fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 to be $29.09, $28.08 and $28.58, respectively.

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

A summary of the RSU activity for fiscal 2017 is as follows:

	Non-vested			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Vested			Total			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at June 26, 2016		21		$	27.20		162			183		$	18.70

Outstanding at June 25, 2017		150		$	27.66		131			281		$	25.02

At June 25, 2017, the number of RSUs vested and expected to vest was 281, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $8,120.  The aggregate intrinsic value of the 131 vested RSUs at June 25, 2017 was $3,782.

The remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested RSUs at June 25, 2017 was $3,648, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

For fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, the total intrinsic value of RSUs converted was $2,120, $553 and $958, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from the conversion of RSUs was $806, $221 and $373 for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Summary

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

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017		June 26, 2016		June 28, 2015
Stock options	$	749	$	1,379	$	1,955
RSUs		1,432		961		676
Total compensation cost	$	2,181	$	2,340	$	2,631

The total income tax benefit recognized for stock-based compensation was $599, $592 and $623 for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

F-28

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

As of June 25, 2017, total unrecognized compensation costs related to all unvested stock-based compensation arrangements were $4,701.  The weighted average period over which these costs are expected to be recognized is 2.0 years.

17. Defined Contribution Plan 

UNIFI matches employee contributions made to the Unifi, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), a 401(k) defined contribution plan, which covers eligible domestic salary and hourly employees. Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, UNIFI matches 100% of the first 3% of eligible employee contributions and 50% of the next 2% of eligible contributions.

The following table presents the employer matching contribution expense related to the 401(k) Plan:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017		June 26, 2016		June 28, 2015
Matching contribution expense	$	2,538	$	2,331	$	2,201

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

Financial Instruments

UNIFI 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.  UNIFI does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

UNIFI may enter into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges for exposures related to certain sales, inventory purchases and equipment purchases which are denominated in currencies that are not its functional currency.  Foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges by UNIFI and are marked to market each period and offset by the foreign exchange (gains) losses included in other operating (income) expense, net resulting from the underlying exposures of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. As of June 25, 2017 and June 26, 2016, there were no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts. However, UNIFI utilized a foreign currency forward contract during fiscal 2017, for which the impact to the consolidated financial statements was insignificant.

Interest Rate Swaps

UNIFI’s primary debt obligations utilize variable-rate LIBOR, exposing the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. Management enters into LIBOR-based interest rate swap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in the benchmark LIBOR. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, UNIFI effectively receives LIBOR-based variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby fixing the variable rate cash flows on the notional amount of debt obligations.

On January 5, 2017, February 24, 2017 and June 1, 2017, UNIFI entered into three interest rate swaps with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), with notional amounts of $20,000 (“Swap A”), $30,000 (“Swap B”) and $25,000 (“Swap C”), respectively. The combined designated hedges fix LIBOR at approximately 1.9% for $75,000 of variable rate borrowings through May 24, 2022. In accordance with hedge accounting, each swap is reflected on the balance sheet at fair value with a corresponding balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and impacts earnings commensurate with the forecasted transaction.

On May 18, 2012, UNIFI entered into a five-year, $50,000 interest rate swap (“Swap D”) with Wells Fargo to provide a hedge against the variability of cash flows related to LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings under the ABL Facility.  On November 26, 2012, UNIFI de-designated Swap D as a cash flow hedge.  Swap D allowed UNIFI

F-29

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

to fix LIBOR at 1.06% and terminated on May 24, 2017.  See Note 19, “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss,” for detail regarding the reclassifications of amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss related to Swap D.

Contingent Consideration

In December 2013, UNIFI acquired certain draw-winding assets in a business combination and recorded a $2,500 contingent consideration liability (Level 3 classification in the fair value hierarchy). There has been no material fair value activity relevant to the contingent consideration since its establishment, and the balance at June 25, 2017 is primarily a result of the life-to-date payments made.

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

As of June 25, 2017	Notional Amount			Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair Value
Swap A	USD	$	20,000	Other long-term liabilities	Level 2	$	243
Swap B	USD	$	30,000	Other long-term liabilities	Level 2	$	364
Swap C	USD	$	25,000	Other long-term liabilities	Level 2	$	201
Contingent consideration			—	Accrued expenses    and other long-term liabilities	Level 3	$	925

As of June 26, 2016	Notional Amount			Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair Value
Swap D	USD	$	50,000	Accrued expenses	Level 2	$	260
Contingent consideration			—	Accrued expenses    and other long-term liabilities	Level 3	$	1,348

Estimates for the fair value of UNIFI’s derivative contracts are obtained from month-end market quotes for contracts with similar terms.

Swaps A, B and C, designated hedges, impacted interest expense for fiscal 2017 by $42. Swap D, a de-designated hedge, impacted interest expense for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 by $178, $375 and $507, respectively.

By entering into derivative contracts, UNIFI exposes itself to counterparty credit risk.  UNIFI attempts to minimize this risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings and regularly monitoring those ratings.  UNIFI’s derivative instruments do not contain any credit-risk-related contingent features.

UNIFI believes that there have been no significant changes to its credit risk profile or the interest rates available to UNIFI for debt issuances with similar terms and average maturities, and UNIFI estimates that the fair values of its debt obligations approximate the carrying amounts.  Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses.  The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value due to their short-term nature.

There were no transfers into or out of the levels of the fair value hierarchy for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

UNIFI did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

F-31

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

The calculation of earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of UNIFI’s common shares outstanding for the applicable period.  The calculation of diluted earnings per common share presents the effect of all potential dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the respective period, unless the effect of doing so is anti-dilutive.

21. Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net

Other operating (income) expense, net primarily consists of gains and losses on (i) foreign currency transactions and (ii) sale or disposal of assets, along with certain expenses related to former employees for consulting, transition, relocation or severance.

22. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Variable Interest Entities

Parkdale America, LLC

In June 1997, UNIFI and Parkdale Mills, Inc. (“Mills”) entered into a Contribution Agreement that set forth the terms and conditions by which the two companies contributed all of the assets of their spun cotton yarn operations utilizing open-end and air-jet spinning technologies to create PAL.  In exchange for its contribution, UNIFI received a 34% ownership interest in PAL, which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.  Effective January 1, 2012, Mills’ interest in PAL was assigned to Parkdale Incorporated.

PAL is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes.  PAL is a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the global textile industry and apparel market.  Per PAL’s fiscal 2016 audited financial statements, PAL had 14 manufacturing facilities located primarily in the southeast region of the United States and in Mexico. PAL’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 81% of total revenues and 80% of total gross accounts receivable outstanding. As PAL’s fiscal year end is the Saturday nearest to December 31 and its results are considered significant, UNIFI files an amendment to each Annual Report on Form 10-K on or before 90 days subsequent to PAL’s fiscal year end to provide PAL’s audited financial statements for PAL’s most recent fiscal year.  UNIFI filed an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016 on March 29, 2017 to provide PAL’s audited financial statements for PAL’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. UNIFI expects to file an amendment to this Annual Report on or before March 30, 2018 to provide PAL’s audited financial statements for PAL’s fiscal year ended December 30, 2017.

The U.S. federal government maintains a program providing economic adjustment assistance to domestic users of upland cotton (the “cotton rebate program”). The cotton rebate program offers a subsidy for cotton consumed in domestic production, and the subsidy is paid the month after the eligible cotton is consumed. To be completely earned, the subsidy must be used within 18 months after the marketing year in which it is earned to purchase qualifying capital expenditures in the United States for production of goods from upland cotton. The marketing year is from August 1 to July 31. The program provides a subsidy of up to three cents per pound. In February 2014, the U.S. federal government extended the program for five years.  The cotton subsidy will remain at three cents per pound for the life of the program.  PAL recognizes its share of income for the cotton subsidy when the cotton has been consumed and the qualifying assets have been acquired, with an appropriate allocation methodology considering the dual criteria of the subsidy.

PAL is subject to price risk related to anticipated fixed-price yarn sales.  To protect the gross margin of these sales, PAL may enter into cotton futures to manage changes in raw material prices in order to protect the gross margin of fixed-priced yarn sales.  The derivative instruments used are listed and traded on an exchange and are thus valued using quoted prices classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  As of June 25, 2017, PAL had no futures contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI’s investment in PAL was $115,614, which was reflected within investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The reconciliation between UNIFI’s share of the underlying equity of PAL and its investment is as follows:

Underlying equity as of June 25, 2017	$	133,819
Initial excess capital contributions		53,363
Impairment charge recorded by UNIFI in 2007		(74,106	)
Anti-trust lawsuit against PAL in which UNIFI did not participate		2,652
Cotton rebate adjustments to PAL’s depreciation expense		(114	)
Investment as of June 25, 2017	$	115,614

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

On February 27, 2015, PAL purchased two manufacturing facilities, plus inventory, for approximately $13,000 in cash, and entered into a yarn supply agreement with the seller. PAL accounted for the transaction as a business combination under the acquisition method, recognizing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. UNIFI and PAL concluded that the acquisition did not represent a material business combination. PAL recognized a bargain purchase gain of $9,381.

U.N.F. Industries, Ltd.

In September 2000, UNIFI and Nilit Ltd. (“Nilit”) formed a 50/50 joint venture, U.N.F. Industries Ltd. (“UNF”), for the purpose of operating nylon extrusion assets to manufacture nylon POY.  Raw material and production services for UNF are provided by Nilit under separate supply and services agreements.  UNF’s fiscal year end is December 31 and it is a registered Israeli private company located in Migdal Ha-Emek, Israel.

UNF America, LLC

In October 2009, UNIFI and Nilit America Inc. (“Nilit America”) formed a 50/50 joint venture, UNF America LLC (“UNFA”), for the purpose of operating a nylon extrusion facility which manufactures nylon POY.  Raw material and production services for UNFA are provided by Nilit America 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, UNIFI entered into a supply agreement with UNF and UNFA whereby UNIFI 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 June 25, 2017, UNIFI’s open purchase orders related to this agreement were $2,046.

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

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017		June 26, 2016		June 28, 2015
UNF	$	2,254	$	2,828	$	3,676
UNFA		20,493		24,319		29,922
Total	$	22,747	$	27,147	$	33,598

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

As of June 25, 2017 and June 26, 2016, UNIFI had combined accounts payable due to UNF and UNFA of $2,301 and $3,231, respectively.

UNIFI has determined that UNF and UNFA are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and has also determined that UNIFI is the primary beneficiary of these entities, based on the terms of the supply agreement.  As a result, these entities should be consolidated with UNIFI’s financial results.  As UNIFI purchases substantially all of the output from the two entities, the two entities’ balance sheets constitute 3% or less of UNIFI’s current assets, total assets and total liabilities, and such balances are not expected to comprise a larger portion in the future, UNIFI has not included the accounts of UNF and UNFA in its consolidated financial statements.  As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI’s combined investments in UNF and UNFA were $3,899 and are shown within investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The financial results of UNF and UNFA are included in UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements with a one-month lag, using the equity method of accounting and with intercompany profits eliminated in accordance with UNIFI’s accounting policy.  Other than the supply agreement discussed above, UNIFI does not provide any other commitments or guarantees related to either UNF or UNFA.

Condensed balance sheet and income statement information for UNIFI’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.  For UNIFI’s fiscal 2017 and 2016, PAL’s corresponding fiscal periods both consisted of 52 weeks.  Depreciation and amortization for PAL for the periods presented includes amounts for PAL’s foreign subsidiaries. PAL’s current assets and shareholders’ equity accounts reflect a $6,800 dividend distribution made to UNIFI on June 28, 2017, subsequent to UNIFI’s fiscal 2017.

23. Commitments and Contingencies

Collective Bargaining Agreements

While employees of UNIFI’s Brazilian operations are unionized, none of the labor force employed by UNIFI’s domestic or other foreign subsidiaries is currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Environmental

On September 30, 2004, UNIFI 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 Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action program.  The program requires DuPont to identify all potential areas of environmental concern (“AOCs”), assess the extent of containment at the identified AOCs and remediate the AOCs to comply with applicable regulatory standards.  Effective March 20, 2008, UNIFI 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 UNIFI of any future responsibility for environmental remediation, other than participation with DuPont, if so called upon, with regard to UNIFI’s period of operation of the Kinston site, which

F-35

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

was from 2004 to 2008.  At this time, UNIFI 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.

UNIFI continues to own property acquired in the 2004 transaction with INVISTA that has contamination from DuPont’s operations and is monitored by DEQ.  This site has been remediated by DuPont, and DuPont has received authority from DEQ to discontinue further remediation, other than natural attenuation.  Prior to transfer of responsibility to UNIFI, DuPont has a duty to monitor and report the environmental status of the site to DEQ. UNIFI expects to assume that responsibility in fiscal 2018 and will be entitled to receive from DuPont seven years of monitoring and reporting costs, less certain adjustments. At that time, UNIFI will assume responsibility for any future remediation of the site. At this time, UNIFI has no basis to determine if or when it will have any obligation to perform further remediation or the potential cost thereof.

Leases

UNIFI 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.  

Future minimum capital lease payments and future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of June 25, 2017 by fiscal year are:

	Capital leases			Operatingleases

25. Business Segment Information

UNIFI 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 UNIFI’s Chief Executive Officer, 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 UNIFI operates, and the information that is regularly reviewed by the CODM for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources.

UNIFI’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, 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. These operations derive revenues from 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 polyester-based products to knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, automotive, 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 UNIFI’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. Revenue for Renewables was primarily derived from (i) facilitating the use of miscanthus grass as bio-fuel through service agreements and (ii) delivering harvested miscanthus grass to poultry producers for animal bedding. For-hire transportation services revenue is derived from performing common carrier services utilizing UNIFI’s fleet of transportation equipment.

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

UNIFI 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.

F-38

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

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

Selected financial information is presented below:

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), effective this 17th day of July, 2017 (the "Effective Date"), is entered into by and between John D. Vegas ("Executive") and Unifi, Inc. (the "Employer" and, collectively with its successors, subsidiaries and affiliated companies, the "Company").

WHEREAS, the Employer desires to retain the services of Executive on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.    Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Employer agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to be employed by the Employer, as of August 21, 2017 (the "Start Date"), pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

2.    Position. During the period of his employment hereunder, Executive agrees to serve the Company, and the Employer shall employ Executive, as Executive Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer. If appointed or elected, Executive also shall serve as an officer, director and/or manager of one or more of the Employer's subsidiaries and affiliated companies in such capacity or capacities as may be determined from time to time.

3.    At-Will Employment and Duties.

       (a) At-Will Employment. Executive and the Employer agree that Executive's employment by the Employer hereunder will be at-will (as defined under applicable law), and may be terminated at any time, for any reason, at the option of either party, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

       (b) Duties. During the period of his employment hereunder and except for illness, reasonable vacation periods, and reasonable leaves of absence, Executive shall in good faith devote all of his business time, attention, skill and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company. Executive's duties shall be performed under the supervision of the Employer's Chief Executive Officer. The foregoing shall not be construed as prohibiting Executive from serving on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees or making personal investments, so long as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive's obligations to the Company as set forth herein.

4.    Salary; Bonus; Reimbursement of Expenses; Other Benefits.

       (a) Salary. In consideration of the services to be rendered by Executive pursuant to this Agreement, the Employer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Executive a base salary (the "Base Salary") as established by or pursuant to authority granted by the Employer's board of directors (the "Board"). Executive's initial Base Salary shall be $400,000 per annum. The Base Salary shall be reviewed annually by or pursuant to authority granted by the Board in connection with its annual review of executive compensation to determine if such Base Salary should be increased for the following year in recognition of services to the Company. The Base Salary shall be payable at such intervals in conformity with the Employer's prevailing practice as such practice shall be established or modified from time to time.

       (b) Bonuses; Additional Compensation. Executive will be eligible to receive bonuses and to participate in compensation plans of the Employer in accordance with any plan or decision that the Board, or any committee or other person authorized by the Board, may in its sole discretion determine from time to time. For the Employer's 2018 fiscal year, Executive's bonus will be equal to 30%, 50% and 100% of Base Salary for threshold, target and maximum levels of performance, respectively, and will be pro-rated for the period of Executive's employment with the Employer during the fiscal year.

       (c) Initial Equity Grants. Executive will receive on the Start Date an award of (i) options to purchase 15,000 shares of the Employer's common stock and (ii) restricted stock units representing 20,000 share of the Employer's common stock. The options will have an exercise price equal to the mean between the lowest and highest reported sale prices of the Employer's common stock on the Start Date, will vest and become fully exercisable in three substantially equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the Start Date, subject to your continued employment through each vesting date, and will have a ten year term. The restricted stock units will become vested and settled in shares of the Employer's common stock as follows, subject to your continued employment through each vesting date: 25% on the first anniversary of the Start Date, 25% on the second anniversary of the Start Date and 50% on the third anniversary of the Start Date.

       (d) Reimbursement of Expenses. Executive shall be paid or reimbursed by the Employer, in accordance with and subject to the Employer's general expense reimbursement policies and practices, for all reasonable travel and other business expenses incurred by Executive in performing his obligations under this Agreement.

       (e) Other Benefits. During the period of employment hereunder, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all other benefits of employment generally available to other executives of the Employer and those benefits for which such persons are or shall become eligible, when and as he becomes eligible therefore. All outstanding unvested equity awards issued to Executive by the Employer shall vest in full upon a "Change of Control" (as such term is defined in the Unifi, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan).

5.    Termination of Employment.

       (a) Termination as a Result of Executive's Death or Disability. Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate automatically upon Executive's death and may be terminated by the Employer upon Executive's "Disability" (as hereinafter defined). If Executive's employment hereunder is terminated by reason of Executive's death or Disability, Executive's (or Executive's estate's) right to benefits under this Agreement will terminate as of the date of such termination and all of the Employer's obligations hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate, except that (i) Executive or Executive's estate, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive accrued Base Salary and benefits through the date of termination and (ii) all outstanding unvested equity awards issued to Executive by the Employer shall vest in full upon such termination of employment. As used herein, Executive's "Disability" shall have the meaning set forth in any long-term disability plan in which Executive participates, and in the absence thereof shall mean the determination in good faith by the Board that, due to physical or mental illness, Executive shall have failed to perform his duties on a full-time basis hereunder for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days and shall not have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder on a full-time basis before the end of such period. If Disability has occurred, termination of Executive's employment hereunder shall occur within thirty (30) days after written notice of such termination is given (which notice may be given before the end of the one hundred eighty (180) day period described above so as to cause termination of employment to occur as early as the last day of such period).

2

       (b) Termination by Executive for Good Reason or by the Employer other than as a Result of Executive's Death or Disability or for Cause.

(i) Executive may terminate Executive's employment hereunder for "Good Reason" (as hereinafter defined), if Good Reason exists, upon at least five (5) days prior written notice to the Employer, and the Employer may terminate Executive's employment hereunder for any reason or for no reason, other than as a result of Executive's death or Disability or for Cause (as hereinafter defined), in each case with the consequences set forth in this Section 5(b).

(ii) If Executive's employment hereunder is terminated by Executive for Good Reason or by the Employer other than by reason of Executive's death or Disability and other than for Cause, then, subject to Executive entering into and not revoking a release of claims in favor of the Employer and the Company pursuant to Section 5(e) below, and Executive fully complying with the covenants set forth in Section 6, Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:

(1) Cash severance payments equal in the aggregate to twelve (12) months of Executive's annual Base Salary at the time of termination, payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments beginning at the end of the first full month following termination of employment.

(2) In the event Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage for the level of medical coverage he had in force at the time of his termination, the Employer shall reimburse Executive for the monthly cost of such continuation coverage until the earlier of (A) the date Executive ceases to maintain such continuation coverage in effect or (B) twelve (12) months from the termination of Executive's employment.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean: (1) a material reduction (without Executive's express written consent) in Executive's title or responsibilities; (2) the requirement that Executive relocate to an employment location that is more than fifty (50) miles from his employment location on the Start Date; (3) the Employer's material breach (without Executive's express written consent) of Sections 2 or 4 of this Agreement; or (4) following a Change of Control, Executive not being an officer of the ultimate surviving parent business entity resulting from such Change of Control transaction, in a substantially similar role to that performed by Executive for the Employer prior to such Change of Control, for a period of at least twelve (12) months thereafter; provided, that with respect to the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3), Executive has provided the Employer written notice of the event or circumstance purporting to constitute Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the event or circumstance occurring and the Employer has not cured such event or circumstance within fifteen (15) days following the date Executive provides such notice. If the Employer thereafter intentionally repeats the breach it previously cured, such breach shall no longer be deemed curable.

       (c) Termination by Executive other than for Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment with the Employer other than for Good Reason upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Employer, after which the Employer shall have no further obligation hereunder to Executive, except for payment of accrued Base Salary and benefits through the termination date. If Executive so notifies the Employer of such termination, the Employer shall have the right to accelerate the effective date of such termination to any date after the Employer's receipt of such notice, but such acceleration will not be deemed to constitute a termination of Executive's employment by the Employer without Cause, and the consequences of such termination will continue to be governed by this subsection.

3

       (d) Termination by the Employer for Cause. The Employer may terminate Executive's employment under this Agreement at any time for "Cause" (as hereinafter defined) whereupon the Employer shall have no further obligation hereunder to Executive, except for payment of amounts of Base Salary and benefits accrued through the termination date. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean: (i) the continued willful failure by Executive to substantially perform his duties to the Company, (ii) the willful engaging by Executive in gross misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or (iii) Executive's material breach of Sections 3, 6 or 7 of this Agreement; provided, that with respect to any breach that is curable by Executive, as determined by the Board in good faith, the Employer has provided Executive written notice of the material breach and Executive has not cured such breach, as determined by the Board in good faith, within fifteen (15) days following the date the Employer provides such notice.

       (e) Waiver and Release. In consideration for and as a condition to the payments and benefits provided and to be provided under Section 5(b)(ii) of this Agreement other than those provided under Section 9 (indemnification), Executive agrees that Executive will, within thirty (30) days after the termination of Executive's employment hereunder, deliver to the Employer a fully executed release agreement substantially in a form then used by and agreeable to the Employer and which shall fully and irrevocably release and discharge the Company, its directors, officers, and employees from any and all claims, charges, complaints, liabilities of any kind, known or unknown, owed to Executive, other than any rights Executive may have under the terms of this Agreement that survive such termination of employment and other than any vested rights of Executive under any of the Company's employee benefit plans or programs that, by their terms, survive or are unaffected by such termination of employment.

6.    Certain Covenants by Executive.

       (a) Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that in his employment hereunder he will occupy a position of trust and confidence. Executive shall not, except in the course of the good faith performance of his duties hereunder or as required by applicable law, without limitation in time or until such information shall have become public other than by Executive's unauthorized disclosure, disclose to others or use, whether directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) regarding the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean information about the Company or its clients or customers that was learned by Executive in the course of his employment by the Employer, including (without limitation) any proprietary knowledge, trade secrets, data, formulae, information and client and customer lists and all papers, resumes, and records (including computer records) of the documents containing such Confidential Information, but excludes information (i) which is in the public domain through no unauthorized act or omission of Executive; or (ii) which becomes available to Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company without breach of such source's confidentiality or non-disclosure obligations to the Company.

Executive agrees that, during the period of Executive's employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, he will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, recruit, induce or encourage or attempt to solicit, recruit, induce, or encourage any employee of the Company (i) for the purpose of being employed by him or by any Competitor of the Company on whose behalf he is acting as an agent, representative or employee or (ii) to terminate his or her employment or any other relationship with the Company.

any action that would disrupt, impair, embarrass, harm or affect adversely the Company or any of the employees, officers, directors, or customers of the Company or place the Company or such individuals in any negative light.

(iii) From and after the Termination of Employment, Executive agrees to cooperate with and provide assistance to the Company and its legal counsel in connection with any litigation (including arbitration or administrative hearings) or investigation affecting the Company, in which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company's counsel, Executive's assistance or cooperation is needed. Executive shall, when requested by the Company, provide testimony or other assistance and shall travel at the Company's request in order to fulfill this obligation. In connection with such litigation or investigation, the Company shall attempt to accommodate Executive's schedule, shall reimburse Executive (unless prohibited by law) for any actual loss of wages in connection therewith, shall provide Executive with reasonable notice in advance of the times in which Executive's cooperation or assistance is needed, and shall reimburse Executive for any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such matters.

       (f) Injunctive Relief. It is expressly agreed that the Employer will or would suffer irreparable injury, for which a remedy in monetary damages alone would be inadequate, if Executive were to violate any of the provisions of this Section 6 and that the Employer would by reason of such violation be entitled to injunctive relief in a court of appropriate jurisdiction, and Executive further consents and stipulates to the entry of such injunctive relief in such a court prohibiting Executive from so violating Section 6 of this Agreement, in addition to any and all damages or other remedies to which the Employer would be entitled at law or in equity. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Employer from pursuing any other equitable or legal remedies for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of monetary damages from Executive.

       (g) Executive's Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) the restrictive covenants in this Section 6 are reasonable in time, territory and scope, and in all other respects and (ii) should any part or provision of any covenant herein be held invalid, void or unenforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall not render invalid, void or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement. The restrictive covenants contained herein shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision in this Agreement and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against the Employer, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Employer of these covenants.

       (h) Protected Disclosures. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (8 U.S.C. § 1833(b)), Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to Executive's attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Executive (i) files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and (ii) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement, is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section. Notwithstanding any provision in any agreement between Executive and the Company, Executive may disclose any confidential or non-public information (i) to report possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Congress and any agency Inspector General, or make other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation or (ii) as required by law or order by a court;

6

provided, however, Executive agrees to notify the Company in advance if Executive is required to provide information or testimony in connection with any action brought by a non-governmental or non-regulatory person or entity.

       (i) Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in this Section 6 shall survive the termination or expiration of Executive's employment hereunder and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.

7.    No Conflict. Executive represents and warrants that Executive is not subject to any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree of any kind, or any other restrictive agreement of any character, which would prevent Executive from entering into this Agreement or would conflict with the performance of Executive's duties pursuant to this Agreement. Executive represents and warrants that Executive will not engage in any activity, which would conflict with the performance of Executive's duties pursuant to this Agreement.

8.    Notices. Any notice, requests, demands and other communications to be given to a party in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing addressed to such party at such party's "Notice Address," which shall initially be as set forth below:

If to the Company:	Unifi, Inc.
	7201 West Friendly Avenue
	Greensboro, North Carolina 27410
	Attn: Secretary
If to Executive:	John D. Vegas
	Most recent address reflected on
	the Company's payroll records

A party's Notice Address may be changed or supplemented from time to time by such party by notice thereof to the other party as herein provided. Any such notice shall be deemed effectively given to and received by a party on the first to occur of (a) the date on which such notice is actually delivered (whether by mail, courier, hand delivery, electronic or facsimile transmission or otherwise) to such party's Notice Address and addressed to such party, if such delivery occurs on a business day, or if such delivery occurs on a day which is not a business day, then on the next business day after the date of such delivery, or (b) the date on which such notice is actually received by such party (or, in the case of a party that is not an individual, actually received by the individual designated in the Notice Address of such party). For purposes of the preceding sentence, a "business day" is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or U.S. federal public legal holiday.

9.    Indemnification.

       (a) General. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9, the Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, Executive if Executive was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution proceeding, investigation, administrative hearing, or other proceeding, whether by or in the right of the Employer, any other Company, or any other person or entity, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding") by reason of the fact that Executive is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Employer or is or was serving at the request of the Employer as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of any other Company or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including without limitation, attorneys' fees,

7

judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by Executive or on Executive's behalf in connection with any Proceeding and any appeal therefrom. Executive's rights under this Section 9 shall continue after Executive has ceased acting as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of a Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of Executive. The Employer's obligation to provide the indemnification set forth in this Section 9(a) shall be subject to Executive having acted in good faith and in a manner Executive reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of any Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, having had no reasonable cause to believe Executive's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Executive did not act in good faith and in a manner which Executive reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Executive's conduct was unlawful.

       (b) Advancement of Expenses. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9, the Employer shall pay the reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Executive in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that such advancement of expenses shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by Executive, in a form approved by the Employer, to repay all amounts advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified therefor. Executive agrees to reimburse the Employer for all expenses advanced under this Section 9 in the event and only to the extent it shall ultimately be determined by a final adjudication that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Employer for such expenses.

       (c) Claims for Indemnification or Advancement; Determination of Eligibility.

(i) Any claim by Executive for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement shall be made in a writing delivered to the Employer, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnification or advancement and the amount requested, and accompanied by appropriate documentation to support the amount so requested (or, in the case of advancement of expenses to be incurred, the basis on which such amount is to be determined). A claim for advancement may include future expenses reasonably expected to be incurred, provided they are generally described in the claim, and provided that the Employer shall not be required to advance particular expenses covered by the claim until it has received appropriate substantiation that those expenses have been incurred and are appropriately included within the advances approved by the Employer pursuant to this Section 9(c).

(ii) Promptly upon its receipt of a written claim for advancement of expenses to which Executive is entitled hereunder, and within sixty (60) days after its receipt of a written claim for indemnity to which Executive is entitled hereunder, the Employer shall pay such advancement (and any future related submissions for advancement of expenses as they are incurred) or such claim for indemnity in full to or as directed by Executive. If and to the extent it is required by law that the Employer make any particular determination as to Executive's eligibility to receive such advancements or indemnity, or whether Executive has met the standards set forth in Section 9(a) hereof, the Employer shall make such determination as promptly as practicable in good faith and in accordance with such requirements of law, and in any event within sixty (60) days after its receipt of the claim from Executive. In the event that the Employer fails to make such determination as to Executive's eligibility, or makes a determination that Executive is ineligible for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder, within such sixty (60)-day period, then Executive may seek such determination from a court of competent jurisdiction. In any such proceeding, the Employer shall have the burden of proving that Executive was not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses, and any prior determination by the

8

Employer to the contrary shall be to no effect and shall not be given any weight by the court, it being the intention of the parties that any determination by the court as to Executive's eligibility for and entitlement to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder shall be made de novo based upon the terms of this Agreement and the evidence presented to such court.

       (d) Limitations on Claims. In addition to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 9(a) above, the Employer shall not be obligated pursuant to this Agreement:

(i) To indemnify or advance expenses to Executive with respect to a Proceeding initiated by Executive, except (i) for Proceedings authorized or consented to by the Board; or (ii) in the event a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses (including attorneys' fees) made under this Agreement is not paid in full within sixty (60) days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Employer, Executive may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim, including attorneys' fees. In any such action, the Employer shall have the burden of proving that Executive was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law or this Agreement.

(ii) To indemnify Executive for any expenses incurred by Executive with respect to any Proceeding instituted by Executive to enforce or interpret this Agreement, unless Executive is successful in establishing Executive's right to indemnification in such Proceeding, in whole or in part; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9(d)(ii) is intended to limit the Employer's obligation with respect to the advancement of expenses to Executive in connection with any Proceeding instituted by Executive to enforce or interpret this Agreement, as provided in Section 9(c) above.

(iii) To indemnify Executive in connection with proceedings or claims involving the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement (other than as otherwise specifically provided for in this Section 9) or any other employment, severance or compensation plan or agreement that Executive may be a party to, or beneficiary of, with the Employer or any other Company.

(iv) To indemnify Executive on account of any proceeding with respect to which final judgment is rendered against Executive for payment or an accounting of profits arising from the purchase or sale by Executive of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any similar successor statute, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law.

       (e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right conferred on Executive by this Section 9 shall not be exclusive of any other rights which Executive may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Employer's articles of incorporation or bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, or under any insurance maintained by the Employer; but such rights in the aggregate shall not entitle Executive to duplicative multiple recoveries. No amendment or alteration of the Employer's articles of incorporation or bylaws or any other agreement shall adversely affect the rights provided to Executive under this Section 9.

       (f) Savings Clause. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Employer shall nevertheless indemnify Executive as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Employer, to the full extent

9

permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

10.    Dispute Resolution.

       (a) Any dispute between Executive and the Employer arising out of this Agreement or the performance or nonperformance hereof (except with respect to Section 9), shall, upon the demand of either Executive or the Employer, be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association as in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced and the provisions of this subsection:

(i) The arbitration shall be conducted in Greensboro, North Carolina by a panel of three impartial arbitrators selected in accordance with such rules, unless the parties shall hereafter mutually agree in writing to have the arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator.

(ii) In conducting the arbitration and rendering their award, the arbitrators shall give effect to the terms of this Agreement, including the choice of applicable law, shall give effect to any other agreement of the parties relating to the conduct of the arbitration, and shall give effect to applicable statutes of limitations.

(iii) The costs of the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and of the American Arbitration Association, shall be allocated to such parties as, and in such proportions as, the arbitrators shall determine to be just and equitable, which determination shall be set forth in the award.

(iv) Judgment upon the award of the arbitrators may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.

       (b) Nothing in this Section 10 shall preclude any party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtaining if warranted, preliminary or ancillary relief pending the conduct of such arbitration, or an order to compel the arbitration provided for herein.

       (c) Any claim arising out of Section 9, including a claim by Executive for indemnification or advancement of expenses thereunder, shall be brought before the state courts of the State of North Carolina pursuant to Section 12.

11.    Assignment; Successors. This Agreement is personal in its nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder; provided that, this Agreement shall be binding upon and, subject to the provisions hereof, inure to the benefit of any successor of the Employer and such successor shall be deemed substituted for the Employer under the terms of this Agreement; but any such substitution shall not relieve the Employer of any of its obligations under this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term "successor" shall include any person, firm, corporation, or like business entity which at any time, whether by merger, purchase or otherwise, acquires all or a controlling interest in the assets or business of the Employer.

12.    Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of North Carolina, without giving effect to its principles of conflict of laws. Executive and the Employer each hereby irrevocably consent that both parties are subject to the jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of North Carolina for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding that arises out

10

of or relates to this Agreement, and further agree that the sole and exclusive venue for any such dispute shall be the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, in Guilford County, North Carolina.

13.    Withholding. The Employer shall make such deductions and withhold such amounts from each payment made to Executive hereunder as may be required from time to time by law, governmental regulation or order.

14.    Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

15.    Waiver; Modification. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right or power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or times. This Agreement shall not be modified in any respect except by a writing executed by each party hereto.

16.    Severability. The parties have entered into this Agreement for the purposes herein expressed, with the intention that this Agreement be given full effect to carry out such purposes. Therefore, consistent with the effectuation of the purposes hereof, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof or part thereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof or any other part of such provision.

17.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements between them with respect to the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations under this Agreement with respect to any termination of employment of Executive, for whatever reason, supersede any severance or related obligations of the Company in any policy, plan or practice of the Company or any agreement between Executive and the Company.

18.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in multiple counterparts and shall be effective as of the Effective Date when each party shall have executed and delivered a counterpart hereof, whether or not the same counterpart is executed and delivered by each party. When so executed and delivered, each such counterpart shall be deemed an original and all such counterparts shall be deemed one and the same document. Transmission of images of signed signature pages by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means shall have the same effect as the delivery in person of manually signed documents.

19.    Compliance with Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 409A"), to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered consistent with this intent. Each separate installment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of determining whether such payment is subject to or exempt from compliance with the requirements of Section 409A. In addition, in the event that Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Employer as in effect on the date of termination of Executive's employment hereunder), any payment or benefits hereunder that are nonqualified deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Section 409A shall be provided to Executive no earlier than six (6) months after the date of Executive's "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), effective this 28th day of July, 2017 (the "Effective Date"), is entered into by and between Richard Gerstein ("Executive") and Unifi, Inc. (the "Employer" and, collectively with its successors, subsidiaries and affiliated companies, the "Company").

WHEREAS, the Employer desires to retain the services of Executive on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.    Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Employer agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to be employed by the Employer, as of August 14, 2017 (the "Start Date"), pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

2.    Position. During the period of his employment hereunder, Executive agrees to serve the Company, and the Employer shall employ Executive, as Executive Vice President of Global PVA & Chief Marketing Officer. If appointed or elected, Executive also shall serve as an officer, director and/or manager of one or more of the Employer's subsidiaries and affiliated companies in such capacity or capacities as may be determined from time to time.

3.    At-Will Employment and Duties.

       (a) At-Will Employment. Executive and the Employer agree that Executive's employment by the Employer hereunder will be at-will (as defined under applicable law), and may be terminated at any time, for any reason, at the option of either party, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

       (b) Duties. During the period of his employment hereunder and except for illness, reasonable vacation periods, and reasonable leaves of absence, Executive shall in good faith devote all of his business time, attention, skill and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company. Executive's duties shall be performed under the supervision of the Employer's Chief Executive Officer. The foregoing shall not be construed as prohibiting Executive from serving on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees or making personal investments, so long as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive's obligations to the Company as set forth herein.

4.    Salary; Bonus; Reimbursement of Expenses; Other Benefits.

       (a) Salary. In consideration of the services to be rendered by Executive pursuant to this Agreement, the Employer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Executive a base salary (the "Base Salary") as established by or pursuant to authority granted by the Employer's board of directors (the "Board"). Executive's initial Base Salary shall be $400,000 per annum. The Base Salary shall be reviewed annually by or pursuant to authority granted by the Board in connection with its annual review of executive compensation to determine if such Base Salary should be increased for the following year in recognition of services to the Company. The Base Salary shall be payable at such intervals in conformity with the Employer's prevailing practice as such practice shall be established or modified from time to time.

       (b) Bonuses; Additional Compensation. Executive will be eligible to receive bonuses and to participate in compensation plans of the Employer in accordance with any plan or decision that the Board, or any committee or other person authorized by the Board, may in its sole discretion determine from time to time. For the Employer's 2018 fiscal year, Executive's bonus will be equal to 30%, 50% and 100% of Base Salary for threshold, target and maximum levels of performance, respectively, and will be pro-rated for the period of Executive's employment with the Employer during the fiscal year.

       (c) Initial Equity Grants. Executive will receive on the Start Date an award of (i) options to purchase 15,000 shares of the Employer's common stock and (ii) restricted stock units representing 20,000 share of the Employer's common stock. The options will have an exercise price equal to the mean between the lowest and highest reported sale prices of the Employer's common stock on the Start Date, will vest and become fully exercisable in three substantially equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the Start Date, subject to your continued employment through each vesting date, and will have a ten year term. The restricted stock units will become vested and settled in shares of the Employer's common stock as follows, subject to your continued employment through each vesting date: 25% on the first anniversary of the Start Date, 25% on the second anniversary of the Start Date and 50% on the third anniversary of the Start Date.

       (d) Reimbursement of Expenses. Executive shall be paid or reimbursed by the Employer, in accordance with and subject to the Employer's general expense reimbursement policies and practices, for all reasonable travel and other business expenses incurred by Executive in performing his obligations under this Agreement.

       (e) Other Benefits. During the period of employment hereunder, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all other benefits of employment generally available to other executives of the Employer and those benefits for which such persons are or shall become eligible, when and as he becomes eligible therefore. All outstanding unvested equity awards issued to Executive by the Employer shall vest in full upon a "Change of Control" (as such term is defined in the Unifi, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan).

5.    Termination of Employment.

       (a) Termination as a Result of Executive's Death or Disability. Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate automatically upon Executive's death and may be terminated by the Employer upon Executive's "Disability" (as hereinafter defined). If Executive's employment hereunder is terminated by reason of Executive's death or Disability, Executive's (or Executive's estate's) right to benefits under this Agreement will terminate as of the date of such termination and all of the Employer's obligations hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate, except that (i) Executive or Executive's estate, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive accrued Base Salary and benefits through the date of termination and (ii) all outstanding unvested equity awards issued to Executive by the Employer shall vest in full upon such termination of employment. As used herein, Executive's "Disability" shall have the meaning set forth in any long-term disability plan in which Executive participates, and in the absence thereof shall mean the determination in good faith by the Board that, due to physical or mental illness, Executive shall have failed to perform his duties on a full-time basis hereunder for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days and shall not have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder on a full-time basis before the end of such period. If Disability has occurred, termination of Executive's employment hereunder shall occur within thirty (30) days after written notice of such termination is given (which notice may be given before the end of the one hundred eighty (180) day period described above so as to cause termination of employment to occur as early as the last day of such period).

2

       (b) Termination by Executive for Good Reason or by the Employer other than as a Result of Executive's Death or Disability or for Cause.

(i) Executive may terminate Executive's employment hereunder for "Good Reason" (as hereinafter defined), if Good Reason exists, upon at least five (5) days prior written notice to the Employer, and the Employer may terminate Executive's employment hereunder for any reason or for no reason, other than as a result of Executive's death or Disability or for Cause (as hereinafter defined), in each case with the consequences set forth in this Section 5(b).

(ii) If Executive's employment hereunder is terminated by Executive for Good Reason or by the Employer other than by reason of Executive's death or Disability and other than for Cause, then, subject to Executive entering into and not revoking a release of claims in favor of the Employer and the Company pursuant to Section 5(e) below, and Executive fully complying with the covenants set forth in Section 6, Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:

(1) Cash severance payments equal in the aggregate to twelve (12) months of Executive's annual Base Salary at the time of termination, payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments beginning at the end of the first full month following termination of employment.

(2) In the event Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage for the level of medical coverage he had in force at the time of his termination, the Employer shall reimburse Executive for the monthly cost of such continuation coverage until the earlier of (A) the date Executive ceases to maintain such continuation coverage in effect or (B) twelve (12) months from the termination of Executive's employment.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean: (1) a material reduction (without Executive's express written consent) in Executive's title or responsibilities; (2) the requirement that Executive relocate to an employment location that is more than fifty (50) miles from his employment location on the Start Date; (3) the Employer's material breach (without Executive's express written consent) of Sections 2 or 4 of this Agreement; or (4) following a Change of Control, Executive not being an officer of the ultimate surviving parent business entity resulting from such Change of Control transaction, in a substantially similar role to that performed by Executive for the Employer prior to such Change of Control, for a period of at least twelve (12) months thereafter; provided, that with respect to the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3), Executive has provided the Employer written notice of the event or circumstance purporting to constitute Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the event or circumstance occurring and the Employer has not cured such event or circumstance within fifteen (15) days following the date Executive provides such notice. If the Employer thereafter intentionally repeats the breach it previously cured, such breach shall no longer be deemed curable.

       (c) Termination by Executive other than for Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment with the Employer other than for Good Reason upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Employer, after which the Employer shall have no further obligation hereunder to Executive, except for payment of accrued Base Salary and benefits through the termination date. If Executive so notifies the Employer of such termination, the Employer shall have the right to accelerate the effective date of such termination to any date after the Employer's receipt of such notice, but such acceleration will not be deemed to constitute a termination of Executive's employment by the Employer without Cause, and the consequences of such termination will continue to be governed by this subsection.

3

       (d) Termination by the Employer for Cause. The Employer may terminate Executive's employment under this Agreement at any time for "Cause" (as hereinafter defined) whereupon the Employer shall have no further obligation hereunder to Executive, except for payment of amounts of Base Salary and benefits accrued through the termination date. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean: (i) the continued willful failure by Executive to substantially perform his duties to the Company, (ii) the willful engaging by Executive in gross misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or (iii) Executive's material breach of Sections 3, 6 or 7 of this Agreement; provided, that with respect to any breach that is curable by Executive, as determined by the Board in good faith, the Employer has provided Executive written notice of the material breach and Executive has not cured such breach, as determined by the Board in good faith, within fifteen (15) days following the date the Employer provides such notice.

       (e) Waiver and Release. In consideration for and as a condition to the payments and benefits provided and to be provided under Section 5(b)(ii) of this Agreement other than those provided under Section 9 (indemnification), Executive agrees that Executive will, within thirty (30) days after the termination of Executive's employment hereunder, deliver to the Employer a fully executed release agreement substantially in a form then used by and agreeable to the Employer and which shall fully and irrevocably release and discharge the Company, its directors, officers, and employees from any and all claims, charges, complaints, liabilities of any kind, known or unknown, owed to Executive, other than any rights Executive may have under the terms of this Agreement that survive such termination of employment and other than any vested rights of Executive under any of the Company's employee benefit plans or programs that, by their terms, survive or are unaffected by such termination of employment.

6.    Certain Covenants by Executive.

       (a) Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that in his employment hereunder he will occupy a position of trust and confidence. Executive shall not, except in the course of the good faith performance of his duties hereunder or as required by applicable law, without limitation in time or until such information shall have become public other than by Executive's unauthorized disclosure, disclose to others or use, whether directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) regarding the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean information about the Company or its clients or customers that was learned by Executive in the course of his employment by the Employer, including (without limitation) any proprietary knowledge, trade secrets, data, formulae, information and client and customer lists and all papers, resumes, and records (including computer records) of the documents containing such Confidential Information, but excludes information (i) which is in the public domain through no unauthorized act or omission of Executive; or (ii) which becomes available to Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company without breach of such source's confidentiality or non-disclosure obligations to the Company. Executive agrees to deliver or return to the Employer, at the Employer's request at any time or upon termination or expiration of his employment or as soon thereafter as possible, (i) all documents, computer tapes and disks, records, lists, data, drawings, prints, notes and written information (and all copies thereof) furnished by the Company or prepared by Executive during the term of his employment by the Employer and (ii) all notebooks and other data relating to research or experiments or other work conducted by Executive in the scope of such employment. Upon the date of termination of Executive's employment hereunder, Executive shall, as soon as possible but no later than two (2) days after the date of termination, surrender to the Employer all Confidential Information in Executive's possession and return to the Employer all Company property in Executive's possession or control, including but not limited to, all paper records and documents, computer disks and access cards and keys to any Company facilities.

       (b) Non-Competition. During the period of Executive's employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of termination of his employment, Executive shall not,

4

directly or indirectly, in the "Restricted Territory" (as hereinafter defined), without the prior written consent of the Employer, provide consultative services or otherwise provide services to (whether as an employee or a consultant, with or without pay) or, own, manage, operate, join, control, participate in, or be connected with (as a shareholder, partner, or otherwise), any business, individual, partner, firm, corporation, or other entity that is then a competitor of the Company (each such competitor a "Competitor of the Company"); provided, however, that the "beneficial ownership" by Executive, either individually or as a member of a "group," as such terms are used in Rule 13d of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), of not more than five percent (5%) of the voting stock of any publicly held corporation shall not alone constitute a violation of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "Restricted Territory" shall mean: (i) the State of North Carolina, (ii) the other contiguous states of the United States of America, and (iii) any other jurisdiction in which the Company is doing or does business during Executive's employment hereunder. Executive and the Employer acknowledge and agree that the business of the Company extends throughout the contiguous states of the United States of America and internationally.

       (c) Non-Solicitation of Customers and Suppliers. During the period of Executive's employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of termination of Executive's employment hereunder, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, influence or attempt to influence customers or suppliers of the Company to divert any of their business to any Competitor of the Company.

       (d) Non-Solicitation of Employees. Executive recognizes that he possesses and will possess Confidential Information about other employees of the Company relating to their education, experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits, and inter-personal relationships with customers of the Company. Executive recognizes that the information he possesses and will possess about these other employees is not generally known, is of substantial value to the Company in developing its business and in securing and retaining customers, and has been and will be acquired by him because of his business position with the Company. Executive agrees that, during the period of Executive's employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, he will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, recruit, induce or encourage or attempt to solicit, recruit, induce, or encourage any employee of the Company (i) for the purpose of being employed by him or by any Competitor of the Company on whose behalf he is acting as an agent, representative or employee or (ii) to terminate his or her employment or any other relationship with the Company. Executive also agrees that Executive will not convey any Confidential Information or trade secrets about other employees of the Company to any other person.

       (e) Post-Termination Covenants by Executive.

(i) Upon the termination of Executive's employment hereunder, regardless of (A) the date, cause, or manner of the Termination of Employment, (B) whether the Termination of Employment is with or without Cause or is a result of Executive's resignation, or (C) whether the Employer provides severance benefits to Executive under this Agreement (the "Termination of Employment"), Executive shall resign and does resign (1) as a member of the Board if serving on the Board at that time and (2) from all positions as an officer, director or manager of the Company and from any other positions with the Company, with all such resignations to be effective upon the date of the Termination of Employment.

(ii) From and after the Termination of Employment, Executive agrees not to make any statements to the Company's employees, customers, vendors, or suppliers or to any public or media source, whether written or oral, regarding Executive's employment hereunder or termination from the Employer's employment, except as may be approved in writing by an executive officer of the Employer in advance. Executive further agrees not to make any statement (including to any media source, or to the Company's suppliers, customers or employees) or take

5

any action that would disrupt, impair, embarrass, harm or affect adversely the Company or any of the employees, officers, directors, or customers of the Company or place the Company or such individuals in any negative light.

(iii) From and after the Termination of Employment, Executive agrees to cooperate with and provide assistance to the Company and its legal counsel in connection with any litigation (including arbitration or administrative hearings) or investigation affecting the Company, in which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company's counsel, Executive's assistance or cooperation is needed. Executive shall, when requested by the Company, provide testimony or other assistance and shall travel at the Company's request in order to fulfill this obligation. In connection with such litigation or investigation, the Company shall attempt to accommodate Executive's schedule, shall reimburse Executive (unless prohibited by law) for any actual loss of wages in connection therewith, shall provide Executive with reasonable notice in advance of the times in which Executive's cooperation or assistance is needed, and shall reimburse Executive for any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such matters.

       (f) Injunctive Relief. It is expressly agreed that the Employer will or would suffer irreparable injury, for which a remedy in monetary damages alone would be inadequate, if Executive were to violate any of the provisions of this Section 6 and that the Employer would by reason of such violation be entitled to injunctive relief in a court of appropriate jurisdiction, and Executive further consents and stipulates to the entry of such injunctive relief in such a court prohibiting Executive from so violating Section 6 of this Agreement, in addition to any and all damages or other remedies to which the Employer would be entitled at law or in equity. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Employer from pursuing any other equitable or legal remedies for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of monetary damages from Executive.

       (g) Executive's Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) the restrictive covenants in this Section 6 are reasonable in time, territory and scope, and in all other respects and (ii) should any part or provision of any covenant herein be held invalid, void or unenforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall not render invalid, void or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement. The restrictive covenants contained herein shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision in this Agreement and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against the Employer, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Employer of these covenants.

       (h) Protected Disclosures. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (8 U.S.C. § 1833(b)), Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to Executive's attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Executive (i) files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and (ii) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement, is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section. Notwithstanding any provision in any agreement between Executive and the Company, Executive may disclose any confidential or non-public information (i) to report possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Congress and any agency Inspector General, or make other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation or (ii) as required by law or order by a court;

6

provided, however, Executive agrees to notify the Company in advance if Executive is required to provide information or testimony in connection with any action brought by a non-governmental or non-regulatory person or entity.

       (i) Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in this Section 6 shall survive the termination or expiration of Executive's employment hereunder and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.

7.    No Conflict. Executive represents and warrants that Executive is not subject to any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree of any kind, or any other restrictive agreement of any character, which would prevent Executive from entering into this Agreement or would conflict with the performance of Executive's duties pursuant to this Agreement. Executive represents and warrants that Executive will not engage in any activity, which would conflict with the performance of Executive's duties pursuant to this Agreement.

8.    Notices. Any notice, requests, demands and other communications to be given to a party in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing addressed to such party at such party's "Notice Address," which shall initially be as set forth below:

If to the Company:	Unifi, Inc.
	7201 West Friendly Avenue
	Greensboro, North Carolina 27410
	Attn: Secretary
If to Executive:	Richard Gerstein
	Most recent address reflected on
	the Company's payroll records

A party's Notice Address may be changed or supplemented from time to time by such party by notice thereof to the other party as herein provided. Any such notice shall be deemed effectively given to and received by a party on the first to occur of (a) the date on which such notice is actually delivered (whether by mail, courier, hand delivery, electronic or facsimile transmission or otherwise) to such party's Notice Address and addressed to such party, if such delivery occurs on a business day, or if such delivery occurs on a day which is not a business day, then on the next business day after the date of such delivery, or (b) the date on which such notice is actually received by such party (or, in the case of a party that is not an individual, actually received by the individual designated in the Notice Address of such party). For purposes of the preceding sentence, a "business day" is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or U.S. federal public legal holiday.

9.    Indemnification.

       (a) General. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9, the Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, Executive if Executive was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution proceeding, investigation, administrative hearing, or other proceeding, whether by or in the right of the Employer, any other Company, or any other person or entity, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding") by reason of the fact that Executive is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Employer or is or was serving at the request of the Employer as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of any other Company or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including without limitation, attorneys' fees,

7

judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by Executive or on Executive's behalf in connection with any Proceeding and any appeal therefrom. Executive's rights under this Section 9 shall continue after Executive has ceased acting as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of a Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of Executive. The Employer's obligation to provide the indemnification set forth in this Section 9(a) shall be subject to Executive having acted in good faith and in a manner Executive reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of any Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, having had no reasonable cause to believe Executive's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Executive did not act in good faith and in a manner which Executive reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Executive's conduct was unlawful.

       (b) Advancement of Expenses. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9, the Employer shall pay the reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Executive in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that such advancement of expenses shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by Executive, in a form approved by the Employer, to repay all amounts advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified therefor. Executive agrees to reimburse the Employer for all expenses advanced under this Section 9 in the event and only to the extent it shall ultimately be determined by a final adjudication that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Employer for such expenses.

       (c) Claims for Indemnification or Advancement; Determination of Eligibility.

(i) Any claim by Executive for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement shall be made in a writing delivered to the Employer, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnification or advancement and the amount requested, and accompanied by appropriate documentation to support the amount so requested (or, in the case of advancement of expenses to be incurred, the basis on which such amount is to be determined). A claim for advancement may include future expenses reasonably expected to be incurred, provided they are generally described in the claim, and provided that the Employer shall not be required to advance particular expenses covered by the claim until it has received appropriate substantiation that those expenses have been incurred and are appropriately included within the advances approved by the Employer pursuant to this Section 9(c).

(ii) Promptly upon its receipt of a written claim for advancement of expenses to which Executive is entitled hereunder, and within sixty (60) days after its receipt of a written claim for indemnity to which Executive is entitled hereunder, the Employer shall pay such advancement (and any future related submissions for advancement of expenses as they are incurred) or such claim for indemnity in full to or as directed by Executive. If and to the extent it is required by law that the Employer make any particular determination as to Executive's eligibility to receive such advancements or indemnity, or whether Executive has met the standards set forth in Section 9(a) hereof, the Employer shall make such determination as promptly as practicable in good faith and in accordance with such requirements of law, and in any event within sixty (60) days after its receipt of the claim from Executive. In the event that the Employer fails to make such determination as to Executive's eligibility, or makes a determination that Executive is ineligible for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder, within such sixty (60)-day period, then Executive may seek such determination from a court of competent jurisdiction. In any such proceeding, the Employer shall have the burden of proving that Executive was not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses, and any prior determination by the

8

Employer to the contrary shall be to no effect and shall not be given any weight by the court, it being the intention of the parties that any determination by the court as to Executive's eligibility for and entitlement to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder shall be made de novo based upon the terms of this Agreement and the evidence presented to such court.

       (d) Limitations on Claims. In addition to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 9(a) above, the Employer shall not be obligated pursuant to this Agreement:

(i) To indemnify or advance expenses to Executive with respect to a Proceeding initiated by Executive, except (i) for Proceedings authorized or consented to by the Board; or (ii) in the event a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses (including attorneys' fees) made under this Agreement is not paid in full within sixty (60) days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Employer, Executive may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim, including attorneys' fees. In any such action, the Employer shall have the burden of proving that Executive was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law or this Agreement.

(ii) To indemnify Executive for any expenses incurred by Executive with respect to any Proceeding instituted by Executive to enforce or interpret this Agreement, unless Executive is successful in establishing Executive's right to indemnification in such Proceeding, in whole or in part; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9(d)(ii) is intended to limit the Employer's obligation with respect to the advancement of expenses to Executive in connection with any Proceeding instituted by Executive to enforce or interpret this Agreement, as provided in Section 9(c) above.

(iii) To indemnify Executive in connection with proceedings or claims involving the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement (other than as otherwise specifically provided for in this Section 9) or any other employment, severance or compensation plan or agreement that Executive may be a party to, or beneficiary of, with the Employer or any other Company.

(iv) To indemnify Executive on account of any proceeding with respect to which final judgment is rendered against Executive for payment or an accounting of profits arising from the purchase or sale by Executive of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any similar successor statute, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law.

       (e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right conferred on Executive by this Section 9 shall not be exclusive of any other rights which Executive may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Employer's articles of incorporation or bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, or under any insurance maintained by the Employer; but such rights in the aggregate shall not entitle Executive to duplicative multiple recoveries. No amendment or alteration of the Employer's articles of incorporation or bylaws or any other agreement shall adversely affect the rights provided to Executive under this Section 9.

       (f) Savings Clause. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Employer shall nevertheless indemnify Executive as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Employer, to the full extent

9

permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

10.    Dispute Resolution.

       (a) Any dispute between Executive and the Employer arising out of this Agreement or the performance or nonperformance hereof (except with respect to Section 9), shall, upon the demand of either Executive or the Employer, be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association as in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced and the provisions of this subsection:

(i) The arbitration shall be conducted in Greensboro, North Carolina by a panel of three impartial arbitrators selected in accordance with such rules, unless the parties shall hereafter mutually agree in writing to have the arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator.

(ii) In conducting the arbitration and rendering their award, the arbitrators shall give effect to the terms of this Agreement, including the choice of applicable law, shall give effect to any other agreement of the parties relating to the conduct of the arbitration, and shall give effect to applicable statutes of limitations.

(iii) The costs of the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and of the American Arbitration Association, shall be allocated to such parties as, and in such proportions as, the arbitrators shall determine to be just and equitable, which determination shall be set forth in the award.

(iv) Judgment upon the award of the arbitrators may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.

       (b) Nothing in this Section 10 shall preclude any party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtaining if warranted, preliminary or ancillary relief pending the conduct of such arbitration, or an order to compel the arbitration provided for herein.

       (c) Any claim arising out of Section 9, including a claim by Executive for indemnification or advancement of expenses thereunder, shall be brought before the state courts of the State of North Carolina pursuant to Section 12.

11.    Assignment; Successors. This Agreement is personal in its nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder; provided that, this Agreement shall be binding upon and, subject to the provisions hereof, inure to the benefit of any successor of the Employer and such successor shall be deemed substituted for the Employer under the terms of this Agreement; but any such substitution shall not relieve the Employer of any of its obligations under this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term "successor" shall include any person, firm, corporation, or like business entity which at any time, whether by merger, purchase or otherwise, acquires all or a controlling interest in the assets or business of the Employer.

12.    Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of North Carolina, without giving effect to its principles of conflict of laws. Executive and the Employer each hereby irrevocably consent that both parties are subject to the jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of North Carolina for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding that arises out

10

of or relates to this Agreement, and further agree that the sole and exclusive venue for any such dispute shall be the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, in Guilford County, North Carolina.

13.    Withholding. The Employer shall make such deductions and withhold such amounts from each payment made to Executive hereunder as may be required from time to time by law, governmental regulation or order.

14.    Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

15.    Waiver; Modification. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right or power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or times. This Agreement shall not be modified in any respect except by a writing executed by each party hereto.

16.    Severability. The parties have entered into this Agreement for the purposes herein expressed, with the intention that this Agreement be given full effect to carry out such purposes. Therefore, consistent with the effectuation of the purposes hereof, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof or part thereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof or any other part of such provision.

17.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements between them with respect to the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations under this Agreement with respect to any termination of employment of Executive, for whatever reason, supersede any severance or related obligations of the Company in any policy, plan or practice of the Company or any agreement between Executive and the Company.

18.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in multiple counterparts and shall be effective as of the Effective Date when each party shall have executed and delivered a counterpart hereof, whether or not the same counterpart is executed and delivered by each party. When so executed and delivered, each such counterpart shall be deemed an original and all such counterparts shall be deemed one and the same document. Transmission of images of signed signature pages by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means shall have the same effect as the delivery in person of manually signed documents.

19.    Compliance with Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 409A"), to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered consistent with this intent. Each separate installment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of determining whether such payment is subject to or exempt from compliance with the requirements of Section 409A. In addition, in the event that Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Employer as in effect on the date of termination of Executive's employment hereunder), any payment or benefits hereunder that are nonqualified deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Section 409A shall be provided to Executive no earlier than six (6) months after the date of Executive's "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Background

1. Background

Overview

Unifi, Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1969 (together with its subsidiaries, “UNIFI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a multi-national company that manufactures and sells innovative synthetic and recycled products made from polyester and nylon primarily to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive, industrial and other end-use markets. Polyester yarns include partially oriented yarn (“POY”), textured, solution and package dyed, twisted, beamed and draw wound yarns, and each is available in virgin or recycled varieties. Recycled solutions, made from both pre-consumer and post-consumer waste, include plastic bottle flake and polyester polymer beads (“Chip”).  Nylon products include textured, solution dyed and spandex covered yarns.

UNIFI 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 principal geographic markets in the Americas and Asia.  

UNIFI 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 global textile industry and apparel market. 

All amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands (000s), unless otherwise noted.

Fiscal Year

The fiscal year end for Unifi, Inc. and its subsidiary in El Salvador ends on the last Sunday in June. Unifi, Inc.’s fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 ended on June 25, 2017, June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively. Unifi, Inc.’s Brazilian, Chinese, Colombian and Sri Lankan subsidiaries’ fiscal years end on June 30th. There were no significant transactions or events that occurred between the fiscal year ends of Unifi, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Unifi, Inc.’s fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 all consisted of 52 fiscal weeks.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior fiscal years’ data have been made to conform to the fiscal 2017 presentation.

UNIFI 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 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 June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting. As shown in the table below, unamortized debt issuance costs associated with outstanding debt have been reclassified to conform to the new presentation requirements as follows:

	June 26, 2016 As Previously Reported		AdjustmentsDue to Adoption of ASU 2015-03			June 26, 2016 As Adjusted
Debt issuance costs (within other non-current assets)	$	1,421	$	(1,421	)	$	—

Notes To Financial Statements [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

UNIFI follows U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The significant accounting policies described below, together with the other notes to the consolidated financial statements that follow, are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unifi, Inc. and its subsidiaries in which it maintains a controlling financial interest.  All account balances and transactions between Unifi, Inc. and the subsidiaries which it controls have been eliminated.  Investments in entities in which UNIFI is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method.  For transactions with entities accounted for under the equity method, any intercompany profits on amounts still remaining are eliminated.  Amounts originating from any deferral of intercompany profits are recorded within either UNIFI’s investment account or the account balance to which the transaction specifically relates (e.g., inventory).  Only upon settlement of the intercompany transaction with a third party is the deferral of the intercompany profit recognized by UNIFI.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, certain financial statement disclosures at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.  UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.  Actual results may vary from these estimates.  These estimates are reviewed periodically to determine if a change is required.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid, short-term investments having an original maturity of three months or less. Book overdrafts, for which the bank has not advanced cash, if any, are reclassified to accounts payable and reflected as an offset thereto within the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

Receivables

Receivables are stated at their net realizable value.  Allowances are provided for known and potential losses arising from yarn quality claims and for amounts owed by customers.  Reserves for yarn quality claims are based on historical claim experience and known pending claims and are recorded as a reduction of net sales.  The allowance for uncollectible accounts is shown as a reduction of operating income and reflects UNIFI’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical write off experience, aging of trade receivables, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information.  Customer accounts are written off against the allowance for uncollectible accounts when they are no longer deemed to be collectible.

Inventories

UNIFI’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with the cost for the majority of its inventory determined using the first-in, first-out method.  Certain foreign inventories and limited categories of supplies and agricultural inventories are valued using the average cost method.  UNIFI’s estimates for inventory reserves for obsolete, slow-moving or excess inventories are based upon many factors, including historical recovery rates, the aging of inventories on-hand, inventory movement and expected net realizable value of specific products, and current economic conditions.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are recorded to long-term debt and amortized as additional interest expense following either the effective interest method or the straight-line method.  In the event of any prepayment of its debt obligations, UNIFI accelerates the recognition of a pro-rata amount of issuance costs and records an extinguishment of debt.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  Plant and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments less accumulated amortization. Additions or improvements that substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset are capitalized.  Depreciation is calculated primarily utilizing the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

Asset categories	Useful lives in years
Land improvements	Five to Twenty
Buildings and improvements	Fifteen to Forty
Machinery and equipment	Two to Twenty-five
Computer, software and office equipment	Three to Seven
Internal software development costs	Three
Transportation equipment	Three to Fifteen

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the lease.

Assets under capital leases are amortized in a manner consistent with UNIFI’s normal depreciation policy if ownership is transferred by the end of the lease, or if there is a bargain purchase option. If such ownership criteria are not met, amortization occurs over the shorter of the lease term or the asset’s useful life.

UNIFI capitalizes its costs of developing internal software when the software is used as an integral part of its manufacturing or business processes and the technological feasibility has been established.  Internal software costs are amortized over a period of three years and, in accordance with the project type, charged to cost of sales or selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in cost and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service.  In the case of disposals, asset costs and related accumulated depreciation amounts are removed from the accounts, and the net amounts, less proceeds from disposal, are included in the determination of net income and presented within other operating (income) expense, net.

Repair and maintenance costs related to PP&E which do not significantly increase the useful life of an existing asset or do not significantly alter, modify or change the capabilities or production capacity of an existing asset are expensed as incurred.

Interest is capitalized for capital projects requiring a construction period.

PP&E and other long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale within one year are classified as held for sale and are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  Depreciation ceases for all assets classified as held for sale.  Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are classified as held for use until they are disposed of and these assets are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value.

Intangible Assets

Finite-lived intangible assets, such as customer lists, non-compete agreements, licenses, trademarks and patents, are amortized over their estimated useful lives.  UNIFI periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets.  Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed from the accounts.  These assets are reviewed for impairment or obsolescence whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques.  UNIFI has no intangibles with indefinite lives.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

UNIFI evaluates its investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Derivative Instruments

All derivatives are carried on the balance sheet at fair value and are classified according to their asset or liability position and the expected timing of settlement.  On the date the derivative contract is entered into, UNIFI may designate the derivative into one of the following categories:

• Fair value hedge – a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or a firm commitment.  Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, as well as the offsetting gains and losses on the hedged items, are reported in income in the same period.

• Cash flow hedge – a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability.  The effective portion of gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, until the underlying transactions are recognized in income.  When the hedged item is realized, gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to current period earnings on the same line item as the underlying transaction.

• Net investment hedge – if a derivative is used as a foreign currency hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, its changes in fair value, to the extent effective as a hedge, are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Any ineffective portion of a designated hedge is immediately recognized in current period earnings. Derivatives that are not designated for hedge accounting are marked to market at the end of each period with the changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings.  Settlements of any fair value or cash flow derivative contracts are classified as cash flows from operating activities.

Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market, or if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (the exit price).  Fair value is based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  UNIFI uses the following to measure fair value for its assets and liabilities:

• Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either indirectly or directly.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

The classification of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded to recognize the expected future tax benefits or costs of events that have been, or will be, reported in different tax years for financial statement purposes than for tax purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which these items are expected to reverse.  UNIFI reviews deferred tax assets to determine if it is more-likely-than-not they will be realized.  If UNIFI determines it is not more-likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will be realized, it records a valuation allowance to reverse the previously recognized benefit.  Provision is made for taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and related companies to the extent that such earnings are not deemed to be permanently invested.

UNIFI recognizes tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions if it believes it is more-likely-than-not of being sustained.  Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized.  UNIFI accrues for other tax contingencies when it is probable that a liability to a taxing authority has been incurred and the amount of the contingency can be reasonably estimated.  Income tax expense related to penalties and interest, if incurred, is included in provision for income taxes.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation expense for stock awards is based on the grant date fair value and expensed over the applicable vesting period.  UNIFI has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy stock option exercises.  For awards with a service condition and a graded vesting schedule, UNIFI has elected an accounting policy of recognizing compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separate vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. Dollar are translated at exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates.  Translation gains and losses are not included in determining net income, but are presented in a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.  UNIFI translates the results of operations of its foreign operations at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. Transaction gains and losses are included within other operating (income) expense, net.

Revenue Recognition

UNIFI recognizes revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) title and the risks of ownership have been transferred to the customer and (iv) collection of the receivable is reasonably assured.  For the sale of goods, revenue recognition occurs primarily upon shipment.  For service arrangements, revenue is recognized (a) when transportation services have been completed in accordance with the bill of lading contract or (b) in accordance with contractual agreements with customers utilizing the criteria above. Revenue includes amounts for duties and import taxes, interest billed to customers, and shipping and handling costs billed to customers.  Revenue excludes value-added taxes or other sales taxes and includes any applicable deductions for returns and allowances, yarn claims and discounts.

Cost of Sales

The major components of cost of sales are: (i) materials and supplies, (ii) labor and fringe benefits, (iii) utility and overhead costs associated with manufactured products, (iv) cost of products purchased for resale, (v) shipping, handling and warehousing costs, (vi) research and development costs, (vii) depreciation expense and (viii) all other costs related to production or providing service activities.

Shipping, Handling and Warehousing Costs

Shipping, handling and warehousing costs include costs to store goods prior to shipment, prepare goods for shipment and physically move goods to customers.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs include employee costs, production costs related to customer samples, operating supplies, consulting fees and other miscellaneous costs.  The cost of research and development is charged to expense as incurred.  Research and development costs were as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017		June 26, 2016		June 28, 2015
Research and development costs	$	7,177	$	6,907	$	8,113

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The major components of SG&A expenses are: (i) costs of UNIFI’s sales force, marketing and advertising efforts, and commissions, (ii) costs of maintaining UNIFI’s general and administrative support functions including executive management, information technology, human resources, legal and finance, (iii) amortization of intangible assets and (iv) all other costs required to be classified as SG&A expenses.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in SG&A expenses.  UNIFI’s advertising costs include spending for items such as consumer marketing and branding initiatives, promotional items, trade shows, sponsorships and other programs.  Advertising costs were as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017		June 26, 2016		June 28, 2015
Advertising costs	$	3,070	$	4,844	$	3,975

Self-Insurance

UNIFI self-insures certain risks such as employee healthcare claims.  Reserves for incurred but not reported healthcare claims are estimated using historical data, the timeliness of claims processing, medical trends, inflation and any changes, if applicable, in the nature or type of the plan.

Contingencies

At any point in time, UNIFI may be a party to various pending legal proceedings, claims or environmental actions.  Accruals for estimated losses are recorded at the time information becomes available indicating that losses are probable and estimable.  Any amounts accrued are not discounted.  Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 UNIFI has not yet determined the effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, UNIFI 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 UNIFI’s primary and material revenue activities are determinable and lack significant timing considerations. UNIFI is currently performing the following activities regarding implementation: (a) reviewing material contracts and (b) assessing accounting policy elections and disclosures under the new guidance. 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 July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory, which modifies the subsequent measurement of inventories recorded under a first-in, first-out or average cost method. Under the new standard, such inventories are required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new standard is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2018, with prospective application. UNIFI’s existing principles for inventory measurement include consideration of net realizable value and, therefore, adoption is expected to have no significant impact to UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

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 UNIFI has not yet determined the full effect of the new guidance on its ongoing financial reporting, as of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had approximately $6,400 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 UNIFI’s fiscal 2020, and early adoption is permitted.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, while reducing cost and complexity. The ASU is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2018. UNIFI expects this guidance to impact the provision for income taxes in future periods, but the timing and magnitude of such impact is not estimable.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The ASU is intended to improve and simplify accounting rules around hedge accounting. The ASU is effective for UNIFI’s fiscal 2020 and early adoption is permitted. UNIFI is evaluating the effect the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, providing criteria for determining if a license of software, as part of a cloud services arrangement, is subject to capitalization under the existing guidance for internal-use software. UNIFI adopted the guidance in fiscal 2017 and there was no significant impact to UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

Based on UNIFI’s review of ASUs, there have been no other newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have had, or are expected to have, a significant impact on UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements.

Discontinued Operations And Disposal Groups [Abstract]

Sale of Renewables

4. Sale of Renewables

On December 23, 2016, UNIFI, 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 its existing third-party joint venture partner for $500 in cash and release of certain debt obligations (the “RR Sale”). UNIFI had no continuing involvement in the operations of Renewables subsequent to December 23, 2016.

In connection with the RR Sale, UNIFI recognized a loss on sale of business, reflecting the difference between the cash consideration received and UNIFI’s portion of Renewables’ net assets on the date of the RR Agreement. The operations of Renewables during the period of UNIFI’s ownership are not reflected as discontinued operations as (i) the enterprise does not have a major effect on UNIFI’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 consolidated statements of income.

The loss on the sale of the business is not relevant to UNIFI’s core operations and is not reflective of the primary revenue or expense activity of UNIFI. Therefore, UNIFI has recorded the loss on the sale of Renewables below operating income within the accompanying 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 UNIFI’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 25, 2016, as summarized in the table below. 

Cash purchase price	$	500
Net assets and liabilities of Renewables		(3,540	)
Derecognition of non-controlling interest		1,416
Transaction-related costs		(38	)
Loss on sale of business	$	(1,662	)

UNIFI’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 26, 2016 includes the consolidated accounts of Renewables, along with a non-controlling interest adjustment; while UNIFI’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 25, 2017 does not reflect any assets, liabilities or non-controlling interest of Renewables.

Total intangible assets, net	$	2,158		$	3,741

In fiscal 2007, UNIFI purchased certain texturing operations that are included in the 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 13 years was determined.  The customer list is amortized through December 2019, in a manner which reflects the expected economic benefit that will be received over its 13-year life.  The non-compete agreement is amortized through December 2017, using the straight-line method over the period currently covered by the agreement.

A customer list and a non-compete agreement were recorded in connection with a business combination in fiscal 2014, utilizing similar valuation methods as described above for the fiscal 2007 transaction. The customer list is amortized over a nine-year estimated useful life based on the expected economic benefit.  The non-compete agreement is amortized using the straight line method over the five-year term of the agreement.

In fiscal 2012, UNIFI acquired a controlling interest in Renewables, an agricultural company focused on the development, production and commercialization of miscanthus grass for use in the animal bedding, bio energy and bio-based products markets.  The acquisition and operations of such enterprise resulted in the capitalization of certain intangible assets.  The non-compete agreement for Renewables was amortized using the straight-line method over the five-year term of the agreement.  The license was amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of eight years.  As described in Note 4, “Sale of Renewables,” UNIFI sold such controlling interest in fiscal 2017, deconsolidating all of the related assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest.

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

Amortization expense for intangible assets consists of the following:

ABL Facility

On March 26, 2015, Unifi, Inc. 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 principal increases occurred in November 2015 and November 2016 as discussed in further detail below. The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020.

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

The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all owned property and assets (together with all 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 UNIFI) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties, together with all proceeds and products thereof.

If excess availability under the ABL Revolver falls below the defined Trigger Level, a financial covenant requiring the Loan Parties to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.00 becomes effective. The Trigger Level as of June 25, 2017 was $24,375. In addition, the ABL Facility contains restrictions on particular payments and investments, including certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and share repurchases. Subject to specific provisions, the ABL Term Loan may be prepaid at par, in whole or in part, at any time before the maturity date, at UNIFI’s discretion.

ABL Facility borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, or the Base Rate (as defined below) plus an applicable margin of 0.50% to 1.00%, with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. The applicable margin is based on (i) the excess availability under the ABL Revolver and (ii) the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter. The Base Rate means the greater of (a) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% and (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%. UNIFI’s ability to borrow under the ABL Revolver is limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to certain conditions and limitations. There is also a monthly unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25%.

As of June 25, 2017, the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $65,064. At June 25, 2017, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 0.84 to 1.0 and UNIFI had $400 of standby letters of credit, none of which had been drawn upon.  Management maintains the capability to quickly and easily improve the fixed charge coverage ratio utilizing existing cash resources.

On November 18, 2016, pursuant to the principal reset conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement, UNIFI, 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.

Second Amendment

On November 19, 2015, UNIFI entered into the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment increased the percentage applied to real estate valuations, on a one-time basis, from 60% to 75%, for purposes of calculating the ABL Term Loan collateral. Simultaneous to entering into the Second Amendment, UNIFI entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Term Note, thereby resetting the ABL Term Loan balance to $95,000.

Capital Lease Obligations

During fiscal 2017, UNIFI recorded capital leases with an aggregate present value of $14,070, inclusive of the reclassification activity described below in the subheading “—Construction Financing.”  The weighted average interest rate for these capital leases is 3.9%.

During fiscal 2016, UNIFI entered into capital leases with an aggregate present value of $4,154.

Construction Financing

During fiscal 2016, UNIFI entered into an agreement with a third-party lender that provided for construction-period financing for certain build-to-suit assets. UNIFI recorded project costs to construction in progress and the corresponding liability to construction financing (within long-term debt). As of June 26, 2016, the principal balance of $6,629 included $790 of cash received by UNIFI and $5,839 for construction in progress paid by the third-party lender.

During fiscal 2017, asset construction was completed and the project costs were reclassified from construction in progress to capital lease assets. The principal balance of $13,725 was reclassified to capital lease obligations and amortizes over a five-year period on a monthly basis through May 2022, with an interest rate of 3.8%.

Renewables’ Term Loan and Promissory Note

During the period that UNIFI held a controlling interest in Renewables, the joint venture borrowed $4,000 against a term loan supplement to a master loan agreement and delivered a promissory note for $135, all in efforts to expand operations and secure additional land. Such borrowings were outstanding at June 26, 2016.  As described in Note 4, “Sale of Renewables,” upon the sale of its 60% equity ownership interest in Renewables in December 2016, UNIFI deconsolidated the corresponding assets and liabilities, and, accordingly, the respective debt principal balances are appropriately excluded from UNIFI’s total long-term debt as of June 25, 2017.  UNIFI has no liability for such debt.

Scheduled Debt Maturities

The following table presents the scheduled maturities of UNIFI’s outstanding debt obligations for the following five fiscal years and thereafter:

	Fiscal 2018		Fiscal 2019		Fiscal 2020		Fiscal 2021		Fiscal 2022		Thereafter
ABL Revolver	$	—	$	—	$	9,300	$	—	$	—	$	—
ABL Term Loan		10,000		10,000		75,000		—		—		—

Total	$	17,060	$	16,996	$	89,819	$	2,624	$	2,418	$	551

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Entering into the Amended Credit Agreement in fiscal 2015 generated substantially different terms for the ABL Term Loan and resulted in the replacement of an existing lender. Accordingly, in fiscal 2015, UNIFI recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,040 for the write-off of certain debt financing fees related to the previous credit agreement.

Utilization of Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

In fiscal 2017, UNIFI generated a U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) of $25,500 that it expects to carryback to fiscal 2015 and 2016.  Foreign deferred tax expense includes the utilization of NOL carryforwards of $756, $0 and $147 for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. State deferred tax expense includes the utilization of NOL carryforwards of $26, $42 and $196 for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  

Effective Tax Rate

Reconciliation from the federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate is as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017			June 26, 2016			June 28, 2015
Federal statutory tax rate		35.0	%		35.0	%		35.0	%

Nondeductible expenses and other		0.6			1.6			3.9
Effective tax rate		25.2	%		31.2	%		24.8	%

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2017 benefited from, among other things, (i) a lower overall effective tax rate for UNIFI’s foreign earnings (reflecting free-trade zone sales in El Salvador and lower statutory tax rates in both Brazil and China), (ii) increased research and development credits, (iii) a decrease in the valuation allowance reflecting the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for UNIFI’s investment in PAL (for which UNIFI maintains a full valuation allowance) and (iv) a reduction in the valuation allowance related to foreign NOLs utilized in 2017.  These benefits were partially offset by (a) a reduction in the domestic production activities deduction due to the carryback of certain losses, (b) a change in uncertain tax positions and (c) withholding taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2016 benefited from, among other things, (i) a lower overall effective tax rate for UNIFI’s foreign earnings (reflecting free-trade zone sales in El Salvador and lower statutory tax rates in both Brazil and China), (ii) a decrease in the valuation allowance reflecting the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for UNIFI’s investment in PAL (for which UNIFI maintains a full valuation allowance) and (iii) a reduction in the valuation allowance related to foreign tax credits utilized in fiscal 2016.  These benefits were partially offset by (a) utilization of foreign tax credits, (b) an increase in the valuation allowance for NOLs, including Renewables, for which no tax benefit could be recognized, (c) state and local taxes net of the assumed federal benefit and (d) a change in uncertain tax positions.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2015 benefited from, among other things, (i) a lower overall effective tax rate for UNIFI’s foreign earnings (reflecting free-trade zone sales in El Salvador and lower statutory tax rates in both Brazil and China), (ii) the reversal of the indefinite reinvestment assertion which provided for indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings at June 28, 2015, (iii) a decrease in the valuation allowance reflecting the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for UNIFI’s investment in PAL (for which UNIFI maintains a full valuation allowance), (iv) benefits from federal and state credits, especially renewable energy credits in connection with the installation of a solar farm, and (v) the domestic production activities deduction. These benefits were partially offset by (a) the change in uncertain tax positions, (b) an increase in the valuation allowance related to Renewables, (c) certain nondeductible expenses, (d) state income taxes (net of federal benefit) and (e) the settlement of certain intercompany foreign currency transactions.

Deferred Income Taxes - Valuation Allowance

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, UNIFI considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  UNIFI considers the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  Since UNIFI operates in multiple jurisdictions, the assessment is made on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, taking into account the effects of local tax law.

The balances and activity for UNIFI’s deferred tax valuation allowance are as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017			June 26, 2016			June 28, 2015
Balance at beginning of year	$	(13,550	)	$	(15,606	)	$	(18,615	)
(Increase) decrease in valuation allowance		(4,407	)		2,056			3,009
Balance at end of year	$	(17,957	)	$	(13,550	)	$	(15,606	)

Components of UNIFI’s deferred tax valuation allowance are as follows:

Investment in a former domestic unconsolidated affiliate	$	(6,269	)	$	(6,418	)	$	(6,503	)

(1) Certain U.S. NOLs and capital losses outside the U.S. consolidated tax filing group.

(2) Presented net of certain NOL carryforward deferred tax assets.

During fiscal 2017, UNIFI’s valuation allowance increased by $4,407.  This increase consisted primarily of $4,241 of foreign losses, and $789 of foreign tax credit carryforwards for which no benefit can be recognized. The increase was partially offset by a net decrease of $582 related to UNIFI’s investment in PAL due to the timing of PAL’s taxable income versus book income.

During fiscal 2016, UNIFI’s valuation allowance decreased by $2,056.  This decrease consisted primarily of $1,159 related to UNIFI’s investment in PAL due to the timing of PAL’s taxable income versus book income and the utilization of $1,680 of foreign tax credits. The decrease was partially offset by a net increase of $858 related to UNIFI’s investment in Renewables and related NOLs as a result of its continued losses.

During fiscal 2015, UNIFI’s valuation allowance decreased by $3,009.  This decrease relates to the timing of taxable income versus book income for PAL, partially offset by a net increase in NOLs for Renewables which were deemed unrealizable, and the disposal of certain miscanthus grass.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

A reconciliation of beginning and ending gross amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017			June 26, 2016			June 28, 2015
Balance at beginning of year	$	4,532		$	4,029		$	983
Gross increases related to current period tax positions		473			110			3,469
Gross increases related to tax positions in prior periods		711			1,058			18
Gross decreases related to settlements with tax authorities		(480	)		(274	)		(178	)
Gross decreases related to lapse of applicable statute of limitations		—			(391	)		(263	)
Balance at end of year	$	5,236		$	4,532		$	4,029

Unrecognized tax benefits would generate a favorable impact of $5,236 on UNIFI’s effective tax rate when recognized. UNIFI does not expect material changes in uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months.  The reversal of interest and penalties recognized by UNIFI within the provision for income taxes were $(42), $(23) and $(95) for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  UNIFI had $773, $279 and $23 accrued for interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of June 25, 2017, June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively.

Expiration of Net Operating Loss Carryforwards and Foreign Tax Credits

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had U.S. federal NOLs held outside the U.S. consolidated tax filing group of $10,430, which carry a full valuation allowance.  These carryforwards, if unused, will begin to expire in 2030. As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had U.S. federal capital loss carryforwards held outside the U.S. consolidated tax filing group of $4,489, which carry a full valuation allowance.  These carryforwards, if unused, will begin to expire in 2027.

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had $10,325 of state NOL carryforwards in the United States that may be used to offset future taxable income, $6,666 of which are offset by a valuation allowance.  These carryforwards, if unused, will begin to expire in 2022.  As of June 25, 2017, the Company also had U.S. state NOLs held outside the U.S. consolidated tax filing group of $12,796, which are offset by a full valuation allowance.  These carryforwards, if unused, will begin to expire in 2028.

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had foreign NOL carryforwards of $13,468, offset by a full valuation allowance, which, if unused, will begin to expire in 2019.

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had research and development credit carryforwards of $1,274, which, if unused, will begin to expire in 2036.

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI had foreign tax credits in foreign jurisdictions of $789 with no expiration, which are offset by a full valuation allowance.

Tax Years Subject to Examination

Unifi, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, as well as income tax returns in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions.  The tax years subject to examination vary by jurisdiction.  UNIFI regularly assesses the outcomes of both completed and ongoing examinations to ensure that UNIFI’s provision for income taxes is sufficient.

In fiscal 2016, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) examined UNIFI’s federal income tax return for fiscal 2013.  The examination closed with no material assessment. On June 29, 2017, UNIFI received a notice of audit from the IRS covering the amended tax returns filed for fiscal 2013, 2014 and 2015.

In fiscal 2016, the North Carolina Department of Revenue initiated an audit for tax periods ending June 24, 2012 to June 29, 2014.  The audit was not concluded at the end of fiscal 2017.  No material assessment is anticipated.

UNIFI is currently under appeal in Colombia for tax years 2006 and 2007.  UNIFI believes it is more-likely-than-not to conclude the appeal with no material assessment.

Statutes related to material foreign jurisdictions are open from January 1, 2012 and material state jurisdictions from June 30, 2013.  Certain carryforward tax attributes generated in years prior remain subject to examination and could change subsequent tax years.

Indefinite Reinvestment Assertion

UNIFI provides for U.S. income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries unless the subsidiaries’ earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested outside the United States.

As of June 25, 2017, U.S. income taxes were not provided for on a cumulative total of approximately $80,300 of undistributed earnings and profits of UNIFI’s foreign subsidiaries as UNIFI currently intends to reinvest these earnings in these foreign operations indefinitely.  If at a later date, these earnings were repatriated to the United States, UNIFI would be required to pay taxes on these amounts.  Nevertheless, in future periods, UNIFI will continue to assess the existing circumstances, including any changes in tax laws, and reevaluate the necessity for any deferred tax liability.  Determination of the amount of any deferred tax liability on these undistributed earnings is not practicable.

15. Shareholders’ Equity

On January 22, 2013, UNIFI announced a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $50,000 of UNIFI’s common stock. UNIFI completed its repurchase of shares under this program in March 2014. On April 23, 2014, UNIFI announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a new stock repurchase program to acquire up to an additional $50,000 of UNIFI’s common stock with no expiration. Purchases under the program may be completed in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission 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 UNIFI’s debt obligations. UNIFI may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not beneficial or advisable. The following table summarizes UNIFI’s repurchases and retirements of its common stock under the stock repurchase programs for the fiscal periods noted.

	Total Number of Shares Repurchased asPart of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs		Average Price Paid per Share		Approximate Dollar Value that May Yet Be Repurchased Under Publicly Announced Plans or Programs

Stock-Based Compensation

16. Stock-Based Compensation

On October 23, 2013, UNIFI’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 June 25, 2017 with respect to the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the 2013 Plan:

Stock Options

During fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, UNIFI granted stock options to purchase 153, 82 and 150 shares of its common stock, respectively, to certain key employees.  The stock options vest ratably over the required three-year service period and have ten-year contractual terms.  For fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, the weighted average exercise price of the stock options granted was $28.82, $32.36 and $27.38 per share, respectively.  UNIFI used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the weighted average grant date fair value of $10.13, $20.27 and $17.31 per share, respectively.

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

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017			June 26, 2016			June 28, 2015
Expected term (years)		5.0			7.6			7.3
Risk-free interest rate		1.4	%		2.1	%		2.2	%
Volatility		37.9	%		60.5	%		62.6	%
Dividend yield		—			—			—

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

A summary of stock option activity for fiscal 2017 is as follows:

	StockOptions			Weighted Average ExercisePrice		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at June 26, 2016		720		$	14.32

Exercisable at June 25, 2017		287		$	13.77		3.9	$	4,397

At June 25, 2017, all stock options subject to a market condition were vested.

At June 25, 2017, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested stock options was $1,053, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.

For fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $5,802, $598 and $190, respectively.  The amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was $2,787, $181 and $95 for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $1,517, $155 and $73 for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

During fiscal 2017 and 2016, UNIFI granted 150 and 20 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, to certain key employees.  The employee RSUs are subject to a vesting restriction and convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company common stock until such employee RSUs have vested and been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company common stock.  The employee RSUs vest over a three-year period, and will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Company common stock (for distribution to the grantee) on each vesting date, unless the grantee has elected to defer the receipt of the shares of stock until separation from service.  If, after the first anniversary of the grant date and prior to the final vesting date, the grantee has a separation from service without cause for any reason other than the employee’s resignation, the remaining unvested employee RSUs will become fully vested and will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Company common stock and issued to the grantee.  UNIFI estimated the fair value of each employee RSU granted during fiscal 2017 and 2016 to be $27.66 and $27.46, respectively.

During fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, UNIFI granted 31, 28 and 17 RSUs, respectively, to UNIFI’s non-employee directors.  The director RSUs became fully vested on the grant date.  The director RSUs convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company common stock until such director RSUs have been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company common stock.  The vested director RSUs will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Company common stock and distributed to the grantee following the grantee’s termination of service as a member of the Board.  The grantee may elect to defer receipt of the shares of Company common stock in accordance with the deferral options provided under the Unifi, Inc. Director Deferred Compensation Plan.  UNIFI estimated the fair value of each director RSU granted during fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 to be $29.09, $28.08 and $28.58, respectively.

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

A summary of the RSU activity for fiscal 2017 is as follows:

	Non-vested			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Vested			Total			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at June 26, 2016		21		$	27.20		162			183		$	18.70

At June 25, 2017, the number of RSUs vested and expected to vest was 281, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $8,120.  The aggregate intrinsic value of the 131 vested RSUs at June 25, 2017 was $3,782.

The remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested RSUs at June 25, 2017 was $3,648, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

For fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, the total intrinsic value of RSUs converted was $2,120, $553 and $958, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from the conversion of RSUs was $806, $221 and $373 for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Summary

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

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017		June 26, 2016		June 28, 2015
Stock options	$	749	$	1,379	$	1,955
RSUs		1,432		961		676
Total compensation cost	$	2,181	$	2,340	$	2,631

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

Jun. 25, 2017

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

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

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

Financial Instruments

UNIFI 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.  UNIFI does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

UNIFI may enter into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges for exposures related to certain sales, inventory purchases and equipment purchases which are denominated in currencies that are not its functional currency.  Foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges by UNIFI and are marked to market each period and offset by the foreign exchange (gains) losses included in other operating (income) expense, net resulting from the underlying exposures of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. As of June 25, 2017 and June 26, 2016, there were no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts. However, UNIFI utilized a foreign currency forward contract during fiscal 2017, for which the impact to the consolidated financial statements was insignificant.

Interest Rate Swaps

UNIFI’s primary debt obligations utilize variable-rate LIBOR, exposing the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. Management enters into LIBOR-based interest rate swap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in the benchmark LIBOR. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, UNIFI effectively receives LIBOR-based variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby fixing the variable rate cash flows on the notional amount of debt obligations.

On January 5, 2017, February 24, 2017 and June 1, 2017, UNIFI entered into three interest rate swaps with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), with notional amounts of $20,000 (“Swap A”), $30,000 (“Swap B”) and $25,000 (“Swap C”), respectively. The combined designated hedges fix LIBOR at approximately 1.9% for $75,000 of variable rate borrowings through May 24, 2022. In accordance with hedge accounting, each swap is reflected on the balance sheet at fair value with a corresponding balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and impacts earnings commensurate with the forecasted transaction.

On May 18, 2012, UNIFI entered into a five-year, $50,000 interest rate swap (“Swap D”) with Wells Fargo to provide a hedge against the variability of cash flows related to LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings under the ABL Facility.  On November 26, 2012, UNIFI de-designated Swap D as a cash flow hedge.  Swap D allowed UNIFI to fix LIBOR at 1.06% and terminated on May 24, 2017.  See Note 19, “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss,” for detail regarding the reclassifications of amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss related to Swap D.

Contingent Consideration

In December 2013, UNIFI acquired certain draw-winding assets in a business combination and recorded a $2,500 contingent consideration liability (Level 3 classification in the fair value hierarchy). There has been no material fair value activity relevant to the contingent consideration since its establishment, and the balance at June 25, 2017 is primarily a result of the life-to-date payments made.

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

As of June 25, 2017	Notional Amount			Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair Value
Swap A	USD	$	20,000	Other long-term liabilities	Level 2	$	243
Swap B	USD	$	30,000	Other long-term liabilities	Level 2	$	364
Swap C	USD	$	25,000	Other long-term liabilities	Level 2	$	201
Contingent consideration			—	Accrued expenses    and other long-term liabilities	Level 3	$	925

As of June 26, 2016	Notional Amount			Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair Value
Swap D	USD	$	50,000	Accrued expenses	Level 2	$	260
Contingent consideration			—	Accrued expenses    and other long-term liabilities	Level 3	$	1,348

Estimates for the fair value of UNIFI’s derivative contracts are obtained from month-end market quotes for contracts with similar terms.

Swaps A, B and C, designated hedges, impacted interest expense for fiscal 2017 by $42. Swap D, a de-designated hedge, impacted interest expense for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 by $178, $375 and $507, respectively.

By entering into derivative contracts, UNIFI exposes itself to counterparty credit risk.  UNIFI attempts to minimize this risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings and regularly monitoring those ratings.  UNIFI’s derivative instruments do not contain any credit-risk-related contingent features.

UNIFI believes that there have been no significant changes to its credit risk profile or the interest rates available to UNIFI for debt issuances with similar terms and average maturities, and UNIFI estimates that the fair values of its debt obligations approximate the carrying amounts.  Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses.  The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value due to their short-term nature.

There were no transfers into or out of the levels of the fair value hierarchy for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

UNIFI did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Parkdale America, LLC

In June 1997, UNIFI and Parkdale Mills, Inc. (“Mills”) entered into a Contribution Agreement that set forth the terms and conditions by which the two companies contributed all of the assets of their spun cotton yarn operations utilizing open-end and air-jet spinning technologies to create PAL.  In exchange for its contribution, UNIFI received a 34% ownership interest in PAL, which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.  Effective January 1, 2012, Mills’ interest in PAL was assigned to Parkdale Incorporated.

PAL is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes.  PAL is a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the global textile industry and apparel market.  Per PAL’s fiscal 2016 audited financial statements, PAL had 14 manufacturing facilities located primarily in the southeast region of the United States and in Mexico. PAL’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 81% of total revenues and 80% of total gross accounts receivable outstanding. As PAL’s fiscal year end is the Saturday nearest to December 31 and its results are considered significant, UNIFI files an amendment to each Annual Report on Form 10-K on or before 90 days subsequent to PAL’s fiscal year end to provide PAL’s audited financial statements for PAL’s most recent fiscal year.  UNIFI filed an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016 on March 29, 2017 to provide PAL’s audited financial statements for PAL’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. UNIFI expects to file an amendment to this Annual Report on or before March 30, 2018 to provide PAL’s audited financial statements for PAL’s fiscal year ended December 30, 2017.

The U.S. federal government maintains a program providing economic adjustment assistance to domestic users of upland cotton (the “cotton rebate program”). The cotton rebate program offers a subsidy for cotton consumed in domestic production, and the subsidy is paid the month after the eligible cotton is consumed. To be completely earned, the subsidy must be used within 18 months after the marketing year in which it is earned to purchase qualifying capital expenditures in the United States for production of goods from upland cotton. The marketing year is from August 1 to July 31. The program provides a subsidy of up to three cents per pound. In February 2014, the U.S. federal government extended the program for five years.  The cotton subsidy will remain at three cents per pound for the life of the program.  PAL recognizes its share of income for the cotton subsidy when the cotton has been consumed and the qualifying assets have been acquired, with an appropriate allocation methodology considering the dual criteria of the subsidy.

PAL is subject to price risk related to anticipated fixed-price yarn sales.  To protect the gross margin of these sales, PAL may enter into cotton futures to manage changes in raw material prices in order to protect the gross margin of fixed-priced yarn sales.  The derivative instruments used are listed and traded on an exchange and are thus valued using quoted prices classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  As of June 25, 2017, PAL had no futures contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI’s investment in PAL was $115,614, which was reflected within investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The reconciliation between UNIFI’s share of the underlying equity of PAL and its investment is as follows:

Underlying equity as of June 25, 2017	$	133,819
Initial excess capital contributions		53,363
Impairment charge recorded by UNIFI in 2007		(74,106	)
Anti-trust lawsuit against PAL in which UNIFI did not participate		2,652
Cotton rebate adjustments to PAL’s depreciation expense		(114	)
Investment as of June 25, 2017	$	115,614

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

On February 27, 2015, PAL purchased two manufacturing facilities, plus inventory, for approximately $13,000 in cash, and entered into a yarn supply agreement with the seller. PAL accounted for the transaction as a business combination under the acquisition method, recognizing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. UNIFI and PAL concluded that the acquisition did not represent a material business combination. PAL recognized a bargain purchase gain of $9,381.

U.N.F. Industries, Ltd.

In September 2000, UNIFI and Nilit Ltd. (“Nilit”) formed a 50/50 joint venture, U.N.F. Industries Ltd. (“UNF”), for the purpose of operating nylon extrusion assets to manufacture nylon POY.  Raw material and production services for UNF are provided by Nilit under separate supply and services agreements.  UNF’s fiscal year end is December 31 and it is a registered Israeli private company located in Migdal Ha-Emek, Israel.

UNF America, LLC

In October 2009, UNIFI and Nilit America Inc. (“Nilit America”) formed a 50/50 joint venture, UNF America LLC (“UNFA”), for the purpose of operating a nylon extrusion facility which manufactures nylon POY.  Raw material and production services for UNFA are provided by Nilit America 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, UNIFI entered into a supply agreement with UNF and UNFA whereby UNIFI 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 June 25, 2017, UNIFI’s open purchase orders related to this agreement were $2,046.

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

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017		June 26, 2016		June 28, 2015
UNF	$	2,254	$	2,828	$	3,676
UNFA		20,493		24,319		29,922
Total	$	22,747	$	27,147	$	33,598

As of June 25, 2017 and June 26, 2016, UNIFI had combined accounts payable due to UNF and UNFA of $2,301 and $3,231, respectively.

UNIFI has determined that UNF and UNFA are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and has also determined that UNIFI is the primary beneficiary of these entities, based on the terms of the supply agreement.  As a result, these entities should be consolidated with UNIFI’s financial results.  As UNIFI purchases substantially all of the output from the two entities, the two entities’ balance sheets constitute 3% or less of UNIFI’s current assets, total assets and total liabilities, and such balances are not expected to comprise a larger portion in the future, UNIFI has not included the accounts of UNF and UNFA in its consolidated financial statements.  As of June 25, 2017, UNIFI’s combined investments in UNF and UNFA were $3,899 and are shown within investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The financial results of UNF and UNFA are included in UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements with a one-month lag, using the equity method of accounting and with intercompany profits eliminated in accordance with UNIFI’s accounting policy.  Other than the supply agreement discussed above, UNIFI does not provide any other commitments or guarantees related to either UNF or UNFA.

Condensed balance sheet and income statement information for UNIFI’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.  For UNIFI’s fiscal 2017 and 2016, PAL’s corresponding fiscal periods both consisted of 52 weeks.  Depreciation and amortization for PAL for the periods presented includes amounts for PAL’s foreign subsidiaries. PAL’s current assets and shareholders’ equity accounts reflect a $6,800 dividend distribution made to UNIFI on June 28, 2017, subsequent to UNIFI’s fiscal 2017.

Commitments and Contingencies

23. Commitments and Contingencies

Collective Bargaining Agreements

While employees of UNIFI’s Brazilian operations are unionized, none of the labor force employed by UNIFI’s domestic or other foreign subsidiaries is currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Environmental

On September 30, 2004, UNIFI 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 Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action program.  The program requires DuPont to identify all potential areas of environmental concern (“AOCs”), assess the extent of containment at the identified AOCs and remediate the AOCs to comply with applicable regulatory standards.  Effective March 20, 2008, UNIFI 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 UNIFI of any future responsibility for environmental remediation, other than participation with DuPont, if so called upon, with regard to UNIFI’s period of operation of the Kinston site, which was from 2004 to 2008.  At this time, UNIFI 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.

UNIFI continues to own property acquired in the 2004 transaction with INVISTA that has contamination from DuPont’s operations and is monitored by DEQ.  This site has been remediated by DuPont, and DuPont has received authority from DEQ to discontinue further remediation, other than natural attenuation.  Prior to transfer of responsibility to UNIFI, DuPont has a duty to monitor and report the environmental status of the site to DEQ. UNIFI expects to assume that responsibility in fiscal 2018 and will be entitled to receive from DuPont seven years of monitoring and reporting costs, less certain adjustments. At that time, UNIFI will assume responsibility for any future remediation of the site. At this time, UNIFI has no basis to determine if or when it will have any obligation to perform further remediation or the potential cost thereof.

Leases

UNIFI 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.  

Future minimum capital lease payments and future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of June 25, 2017 by fiscal year are:

	Capital leases			Operatingleases

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segment Information

25. Business Segment Information

UNIFI 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 UNIFI’s Chief Executive Officer, 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 UNIFI operates, and the information that is regularly reviewed by the CODM for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources.

UNIFI’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, 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. These operations derive revenues from 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 polyester-based products to knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, automotive, 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 UNIFI’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. Revenue for Renewables was primarily derived from (i) facilitating the use of miscanthus grass as bio-fuel through service agreements and (ii) delivering harvested miscanthus grass to poultry producers for animal bedding. For-hire transportation services revenue is derived from performing common carrier services utilizing UNIFI’s fleet of transportation equipment.

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

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

Selected financial information is presented below:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unifi, Inc. and its subsidiaries in which it maintains a controlling financial interest.  All account balances and transactions between Unifi, Inc. and the subsidiaries which it controls have been eliminated.  Investments in entities in which UNIFI is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method.  For transactions with entities accounted for under the equity method, any intercompany profits on amounts still remaining are eliminated.  Amounts originating from any deferral of intercompany profits are recorded within either UNIFI’s investment account or the account balance to which the transaction specifically relates (e.g., inventory).  Only upon settlement of the intercompany transaction with a third party is the deferral of the intercompany profit recognized by UNIFI.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, certain financial statement disclosures at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.  UNIFI’s consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.  Actual results may vary from these estimates.  These estimates are reviewed periodically to determine if a change is required.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid, short-term investments having an original maturity of three months or less. Book overdrafts, for which the bank has not advanced cash, if any, are reclassified to accounts payable and reflected as an offset thereto within the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

Receivables

Receivables

Receivables are stated at their net realizable value.  Allowances are provided for known and potential losses arising from yarn quality claims and for amounts owed by customers.  Reserves for yarn quality claims are based on historical claim experience and known pending claims and are recorded as a reduction of net sales.  The allowance for uncollectible accounts is shown as a reduction of operating income and reflects UNIFI’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical write off experience, aging of trade receivables, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information.  Customer accounts are written off against the allowance for uncollectible accounts when they are no longer deemed to be collectible.

Inventories

Inventories

UNIFI’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with the cost for the majority of its inventory determined using the first-in, first-out method.  Certain foreign inventories and limited categories of supplies and agricultural inventories are valued using the average cost method.  UNIFI’s estimates for inventory reserves for obsolete, slow-moving or excess inventories are based upon many factors, including historical recovery rates, the aging of inventories on-hand, inventory movement and expected net realizable value of specific products, and current economic conditions.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are recorded to long-term debt and amortized as additional interest expense following either the effective interest method or the straight-line method.  In the event of any prepayment of its debt obligations, UNIFI accelerates the recognition of a pro-rata amount of issuance costs and records an extinguishment of debt.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  Plant and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments less accumulated amortization. Additions or improvements that substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset are capitalized.  Depreciation is calculated primarily utilizing the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

Asset categories	Useful lives in years
Land improvements	Five to Twenty
Buildings and improvements	Fifteen to Forty
Machinery and equipment	Two to Twenty-five
Computer, software and office equipment	Three to Seven
Internal software development costs	Three
Transportation equipment	Three to Fifteen

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the lease.

Assets under capital leases are amortized in a manner consistent with UNIFI’s normal depreciation policy if ownership is transferred by the end of the lease, or if there is a bargain purchase option. If such ownership criteria are not met, amortization occurs over the shorter of the lease term or the asset’s useful life.

UNIFI capitalizes its costs of developing internal software when the software is used as an integral part of its manufacturing or business processes and the technological feasibility has been established.  Internal software costs are amortized over a period of three years and, in accordance with the project type, charged to cost of sales or selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in cost and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service.  In the case of disposals, asset costs and related accumulated depreciation amounts are removed from the accounts, and the net amounts, less proceeds from disposal, are included in the determination of net income and presented within other operating (income) expense, net.

Repair and maintenance costs related to PP&E which do not significantly increase the useful life of an existing asset or do not significantly alter, modify or change the capabilities or production capacity of an existing asset are expensed as incurred.

Interest is capitalized for capital projects requiring a construction period.

PP&E and other long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale within one year are classified as held for sale and are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  Depreciation ceases for all assets classified as held for sale.  Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are classified as held for use until they are disposed of and these assets are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

Finite-lived intangible assets, such as customer lists, non-compete agreements, licenses, trademarks and patents, are amortized over their estimated useful lives.  UNIFI periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets.  Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed from the accounts.  These assets are reviewed for impairment or obsolescence whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques.  UNIFI has no intangibles with indefinite lives.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

UNIFI evaluates its investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

All derivatives are carried on the balance sheet at fair value and are classified according to their asset or liability position and the expected timing of settlement.  On the date the derivative contract is entered into, UNIFI may designate the derivative into one of the following categories:

• Fair value hedge – a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or a firm commitment.  Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, as well as the offsetting gains and losses on the hedged items, are reported in income in the same period.

• Cash flow hedge – a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability.  The effective portion of gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, until the underlying transactions are recognized in income.  When the hedged item is realized, gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to current period earnings on the same line item as the underlying transaction.

• Net investment hedge – if a derivative is used as a foreign currency hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, its changes in fair value, to the extent effective as a hedge, are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Any ineffective portion of a designated hedge is immediately recognized in current period earnings. Derivatives that are not designated for hedge accounting are marked to market at the end of each period with the changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings.  Settlements of any fair value or cash flow derivative contracts are classified as cash flows from operating activities.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market, or if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (the exit price).  Fair value is based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  UNIFI uses the following to measure fair value for its assets and liabilities:

• Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either indirectly or directly.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

The classification of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded to recognize the expected future tax benefits or costs of events that have been, or will be, reported in different tax years for financial statement purposes than for tax purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which these items are expected to reverse.  UNIFI reviews deferred tax assets to determine if it is more-likely-than-not they will be realized.  If UNIFI determines it is not more-likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will be realized, it records a valuation allowance to reverse the previously recognized benefit.  Provision is made for taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and related companies to the extent that such earnings are not deemed to be permanently invested.

UNIFI recognizes tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions if it believes it is more-likely-than-not of being sustained.  Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized.  UNIFI accrues for other tax contingencies when it is probable that a liability to a taxing authority has been incurred and the amount of the contingency can be reasonably estimated.  Income tax expense related to penalties and interest, if incurred, is included in provision for income taxes.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation expense for stock awards is based on the grant date fair value and expensed over the applicable vesting period.  UNIFI has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy stock option exercises.  For awards with a service condition and a graded vesting schedule, UNIFI has elected an accounting policy of recognizing compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separate vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. Dollar are translated at exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates.  Translation gains and losses are not included in determining net income, but are presented in a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.  UNIFI translates the results of operations of its foreign operations at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. Transaction gains and losses are included within other operating (income) expense, net.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

UNIFI recognizes revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) title and the risks of ownership have been transferred to the customer and (iv) collection of the receivable is reasonably assured.  For the sale of goods, revenue recognition occurs primarily upon shipment.  For service arrangements, revenue is recognized (a) when transportation services have been completed in accordance with the bill of lading contract or (b) in accordance with contractual agreements with customers utilizing the criteria above. Revenue includes amounts for duties and import taxes, interest billed to customers, and shipping and handling costs billed to customers.  Revenue excludes value-added taxes or other sales taxes and includes any applicable deductions for returns and allowances, yarn claims and discounts.

Cost of Sales

Cost of Sales

The major components of cost of sales are: (i) materials and supplies, (ii) labor and fringe benefits, (iii) utility and overhead costs associated with manufactured products, (iv) cost of products purchased for resale, (v) shipping, handling and warehousing costs, (vi) research and development costs, (vii) depreciation expense and (viii) all other costs related to production or providing service activities.

Shipping, Handling and Warehousing Costs

Shipping, Handling and Warehousing Costs

Shipping, handling and warehousing costs include costs to store goods prior to shipment, prepare goods for shipment and physically move goods to customers.

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs include employee costs, production costs related to customer samples, operating supplies, consulting fees and other miscellaneous costs.  The cost of research and development is charged to expense as incurred.  Research and development costs were as follows:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	June 25, 2017		June 26, 2016		June 28, 2015
Advertising costs	$	3,070	$	4,844	$	3,975

Self Insurance

Self-Insurance

UNIFI self-insures certain risks such as employee healthcare claims.  Reserves for incurred but not reported healthcare claims are estimated using historical data, the timeliness of claims processing, medical trends, inflation and any changes, if applicable, in the nature or type of the plan.

Contingencies

Contingencies

At any point in time, UNIFI may be a party to various pending legal proceedings, claims or environmental actions.  Accruals for estimated losses are recorded at the time information becomes available indicating that losses are probable and estimable.  Any amounts accrued are not discounted.  Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

Repurchases and Retirements of Common Stock

On January 22, 2013, UNIFI announced a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $50,000 of UNIFI’s common stock. UNIFI completed its repurchase of shares under this program in March 2014. On April 23, 2014, UNIFI announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a new stock repurchase program to acquire up to an additional $50,000 of UNIFI’s common stock with no expiration. Purchases under the program may be completed in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission 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 UNIFI’s debt obligations. UNIFI may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not beneficial or advisable. The following table summarizes UNIFI’s repurchases and retirements of its common stock under the stock repurchase programs for the fiscal periods noted.
