The asset sale removes a significant debt burden and interest expense, but revenue continues to decline. Watch for Q2 FY2027 results to see if cost savings and stable demand in the Americas can offset ongoing Asia weakness and raw material inflation pressures.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Unifi (UFI) reported Q1 FY2027 results with net sales of $127.9M, down 5.7% YoY, but gross margin expanded to 9.8% from 2.5% and Adjusted EBITDA swung to positive $6.1M from -$2.5M. Separately, the company completed the sale of two non-strategic real estate assets for $60M in cash, using net proceeds to fully repay a $55.5M term loan and reduce revolving debt. The combination of improving profitability and significant deleveraging strengthens the balance sheet, though top-line revenue continues to decline amid geopolitical and tariff headwinds.
