1. Background

 

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

 

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

 

2. Basis of Presentation; Condensed Notes

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Fiscal Year

The Company’s current fiscal quarter ended on December 29, 2013. The Company’s Brazilian, Colombian and Chinese subsidiaries report on a calendar period basis, with their fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2013. There were no significant transactions or events that occurred between the Company’s fiscal quarter end and its subsidiaries’ fiscal quarter end for this period. The three months ended December 29, 2013 and the three months ended December 23, 2012 each consisted of thirteen week periods. The six months ended December 29, 2013 and the six months ended December 23, 2012 each consisted of twenty-six week periods.

 

Reclassifications

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

 

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

4. Acquisition

 

On December 2, 2013, the Company acquired certain draw wound assets and the associated business from American Drawtech, a division of Dillon Yarn Corporation (“Dillon”), pursuant to the exercise of an option granted to the Company under the terms of a commissioning agreement with Dillon, for $2,934, which amount included accounts payable and an accrued contingent liability.  The assets acquired include Dillon’s draw winding inventory and production machinery and equipment. This acquisition will increase the Company’s polyester production capacity and allow the Company to expand its presence in targeted industrial, belting, hose and thread markets by increasing its product offerings to include mid-tenacity flat yarns. Mr. Mitchel Weinberger, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), is Dillon’s president and chief operating officer. Since the acquisition date, the business has generated $344 in net sales for the Company’s Polyester Segment.

 

The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.  The Company concluded that the acquisition did not represent a material business combination. The Company's preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration transferred are as follows:

 

Assets:

       

Inventory

  $ 434  

Machinery and equipment

    835  

Customer list

    1,615  

Non-compete agreement

    50  

Total assets

  $ 2,934  
         

Liabilities:

       

Accounts payable

  $ 434  

Contingent consideration

    2,500  

Total liabilities

  $ 2,934  

 

The preliminary estimate for the contingent consideration liability represents the present value of the expected future payments due to Dillon over the five-year period following the acquisition date.  The payments are equal to one-half of the operating profit of the draw wound business, as calculated using an agreed upon definition. The preliminary assumptions for the contingent consideration liability were based on inputs not observable in the market and represent Level 3 fair value measurements. These estimates will be reviewed each quarter and any adjustment will be recorded through operating income.  The Company estimates that $500 of contingent consideration will be paid to Dillon over the next twelve months and has recorded this amount in accrued expenses, with the remainder of the contingent consideration liability recorded in other long-term liabilities. 

 

The customer list will be amortized over a nine year estimated useful life.  The non-compete agreement will be amortized over the five year term of the agreement.

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

 

   

Allowance for

Uncollectible Accounts

   

Reserves for Yarn

Quality Claims

 

Balance at June 30, 2013

  $ (972 )   $ (893 )

Charged to costs and expenses

    15       7  

Deductions

    9       1,112  

Balance at December 29, 2013

  $ (997 )   $ (808 )

 

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

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

ABL Facility

On May 24, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to establish a $150,000 senior secured credit facility (“ABL Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. The ABL Facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (“ABL Revolver”) and a $50,000 term loan (“ABL Term Loan”). In addition, the Company entered into a $30,000 term loan (“Term B Loan”) which was repaid on January 8, 2013. The Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement on December 27, 2012, a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement on June 25, 2013 and, as discussed below, a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement on January 16, 2014 (the “Third Amendment”). The ABL Facility, as amended, has a maturity date of May 24, 2018.  

 

The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all property and assets 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 first tier controlled foreign corporations) of the stock of (or other ownership interests in) each of the Loan Parties (other than the Company) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties, together with all proceeds and products thereof. The ABL Facility is further secured by a first-priority lien on the Company’s limited liability company membership interest in Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”).

 

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

 

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

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

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

 

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

 

As of December 29, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants, the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $28,083, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 5.52 to 1.0 and the Company had $525 of standby letters of credit, none of which have been drawn upon.

 

Subsequent Event

The Third Amendment, which was entered into on January 16, 2014, among other things: (i) revised the definition of permitted indebtedness to allow the Company to enter into permitted sales and leaseback transactions of equipment in an aggregate amount not to exceed $4,000 per fiscal year; (ii) revised the definition of permitted dispositions to increase the amount of certain asset sales or dispositions from $500 to $4,000 per fiscal year; and (iii) revised the mandatory prepayment provision to increase the amount of net proceeds received from certain permitted dispositions that would be required to prepay the outstanding ABL Facility debt from $500 to $4,000 per fiscal year. No amendment fee was required.

 

Term Loan from Unconsolidated Affiliate

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

 

Capital Lease Obligation

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

14. Income Taxes

 

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

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three month and six month periods ending December 29, 2013 was 38.7% and 39.5%, respectively, and its effective tax rate for the three month and six month periods ending December 23, 2012 was 50.0% and 56.0%, respectively.  The Company’s effective tax rate for each of the periods presented was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the unfavorable effects of foreign dividends taxed in the U.S., the impact of state taxes, the timing of the Company’s recognition of higher taxable versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate for which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance, and losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized.

 

As of December 29, 2013, the Company’s valuation allowance was $17,531 and includes $14,656 related to reserves against certain deferred tax assets for unconsolidated affiliates and foreign tax credit carryforwards, as well as $2,875 for reserves against certain deferred tax assets of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards. The Company’s valuation allowance as of June 30, 2013 was $16,690.

 

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

 

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

 

15. Shareholders’ Equity

 

On January 22, 2013, the Board approved a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $50,000 of the Company’s common stock. Under the repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at such times, manner and prices as determined by management, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. Repurchases are expected to be financed through cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Company’s ABL Revolver, and are subject to applicable limitations and restrictions as set forth in the ABL Facility. The repurchase program has no stated expiration or termination date, and there is no time limit or specific time frame otherwise for repurchases. The Company may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not beneficial or advisable. As of December 29, 2013, the Company had spent $37,982, excluding brokerage fees, to repurchase shares under this program.

 

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

16. Stock Based Compensation

 

On October 23, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved the Unifi, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan replaced the 2008 Unifi, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2008 LTIP”). No additional awards will 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.

 

Stock options

During the six months ended December 29, 2013 and December 23, 2012, the Company granted stock options to purchase 97 and 138 shares of common stock, respectively, to certain key employees. The stock options vest ratably over the required three year service period. For the six months ended December 29, 2013 and December 23, 2012, the weighted average exercise price of the options granted was $22.31 and $11.15 per share, respectively. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the weighted average grant date fair value of $14.66 and $7.28 per share, respectively.

 

The valuation models used the following assumptions:

Restricted stock units

During the six months ended December 29, 2013 and December 23, 2012, the Company granted 22 and 32 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, to certain key employees. The RSUs are subject to a vesting restriction and convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company stock until such RSUs have vested and been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company stock. The RSUs vest over a three year period, and will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of 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 RSUs will become fully vested and will be converted to an equivalent number of shares of stock and issued to the grantee. The Company estimated the fair value of the awards granted during the six months ended December 29, 2013 and December 23, 2012 to be $22.08 and $11.23 per RSU, respectively.

 

During the six months ended December 29, 2013 and December 23, 2012, the Company granted 25 and 30 RSUs, respectively, to the Company’s non-employee directors. The RSUs became fully vested on the grant date. The RSUs convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company stock until such RSUs have been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company stock. The vested 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 stock in accordance with the deferral options provided under the Unifi, Inc. Director Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company estimated the fair value of the awards granted during the six months ended December 29, 2013 and December 23, 2012 to be $23.23 and $13.57 per RSU, respectively.

 

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

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

 

Financial Instruments

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

 

Foreign currency contracts

The Company enters into foreign currency contracts as economic hedges for exposures related to certain sales, inventory purchases and equipment purchases that are denominated in currencies that are not its functional currency. As of December 29, 2013, the latest maturity date for all outstanding foreign currency contracts is during July 2014. These items are not designated as hedges by the Company and are marked to market each period and offset by the foreign exchange (gains) losses included in other operating expense, net resulting from the underlying exposures of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

 

Interest rate swap

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

 

On November 26, 2012, the Company de-designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. For the year-to-date period ended December 29, 2013, the Company reclassified pre-tax unrealized losses of $300 from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense; the Company expects to reclassify additional losses of $446 during the next twelve months.

 

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