Unifi reported a decrease in net sales and a net loss for Q1 2024, primarily due to weak apparel demand. However, disciplined cost control measures and reduced capital expenditures helped in cash generation and debt reduction.
Net sales decreased by 22.7% to $138.8 million due to weak apparel demand.
Revenues from REPREVE Fiber products were $42.5 million, representing 31% of net sales.
Gross loss was $0.6 million with a gross margin of (0.4)%, impacted by lower apparel demand.
Net loss was $13.3 million, or ($0.73) per share.
UNIFI expects second quarter fiscal 2024 net sales, Adjusted EBITDA, and capital expenditures to be generally consistent with first quarter fiscal 2024 results, and the effective tax rate is expected to demonstrate continued volatility.
