The company’s net income was US 9.7 million, compared to US 10.0 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income was US 10.0 million, compared to adjusted net income of US 9.9 million in the prior year.

Both net income and adjusted net income include the company's portion of earnings from Parkdale America, LLC, which were almost US 1 million less than the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was US 16.6 million, up from US 15.1 million in the prior year quarter.

Satisfactory results

Gross profit was US 23.4 million compared to US 22.0 million in the prior year quarter, driven by the company's mix enrichment strategy, strong volume and margin growth in the International Segment, and favorable raw material pricing.

"We are pleased with this quarter's results, notably our gross margin, which improved 170 basis points. These results highlight the success of our strategy to enrich our product mix and grow our premier value-added offerings to enhance returns,” said Bill Jasper, Chairman and CEO of Unifi.

“We were particularly excited to see our International Segment benefit from strong market share gains in Brazil and from our growing portfolio in China.”

Operational review

Net sales were US 161.3 million compared to US 172.2 million in the prior year quarter. The sales decline was largely attributable to devaluation of the Brazilian Real and lower sales pricing associated with raw material costs.

Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) at 27 March 2016 was US 106.5 million, compared to US 94.1 million at 28 June 2015, consistent with the company's previously announced capital investment plans. As of 27 March 2016, the company had US 78.0 million of available borrowing capacity under its revolver.
