Unifi (UFI) Reports Q1 2027 Results with Improved Margins and Significant Debt Reduction
Unifi, Inc. (UFI) reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 results characterized by a decline in net sales to $127.9 million due to geopolitical uncertainty and volume headwinds in the Americas. Despite the revenue dip, the company achieved significant profitability improvements, with gross profit increasing 270% year-over-year to $12.5 million and adjusted EBITDA rising by $8.6 million compared to the previous year. A major highlight of the quarter was the strategic sale of non-core real estate assets in North Carolina for $60 million, which allowed the company to fully repay its outstanding term loan balance. This move significantly strengthened the balance sheet and reduced net debt. While management noted ongoing regional softness in Asia and potential political volatility in Brazil, operational initiatives such as manufacturing footprint consolidation have successfully expanded gross margins from 2.5% to 9.8%.
