Previous wording
Consolidated net sales for the current period increased by $8,528, or 6.1%, while consolidated sales volumes increased 7.7%, compared to the prior period. Net sales in the current period were higher primarily due to improved sales volumes in each of the reportable segments, along with favorable pricing in Brazil. Despite these sales volume improvements, volumes remain depressed, particularly in the Americas and Asia Segments as a result of continued weak global demand.
Current wording
Consolidated net sales for the current six-month period increased by $10,491, or 3.8%, and consolidated sales volumes increased 6.9%, compared to the prior six-month period.

Despite these sales volume improvements, volumes remain depressed, particularly in the Americas and Asia Segments as a result of continued weak global demand.
Previous wording
Consolidated weighted average sales prices decreased 1.6% which partially offset the volume increase.

Previous wording
Gross profit for the current period increased to $9,458 from a gross loss of $(575) in the prior period. Gross profit increased primarily due to (i) increased sales volumes, (ii) variable cost saving initiatives, (iii) improved productivity, and (iv) higher conversion margins. However, gross profit continues to be unfavorably impacted by weak fixed cost absorption in the Americas Segment, where utilization and productivity remain below historical averages due to depressed demand.
Current wording
Gross profit for the current six-month period increased to $9,992 from $1,061 in the prior six-month period. Gross profit increased primarily due to (i) increased sales volumes, (ii) variable cost saving initiatives, (iii) improved productivity, and (iv) higher conversion margins.

Current wording
For the Asia Segment, gross profit decreased primarily due to lower conversion margins from an unfavorable change in sales mix in a weak demand environment.
Previous wording
The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to a decrease in the valuation allowance on deferred tax asset balances adjusted by the IRS audit of tax years 2014 through 2019, which was concluded during the prior period. The impact of this on comparative results is heightened by a smaller loss before income taxes in the current period.
Current wording
The decrease in the effective tax rate from the prior six-month period to the current six-month period is primarily attributable to less losses in the U.S. in the current six-month period, as well as a decrease in valuation allowances on deferred tax asset balances adjusted in response to the IRS audit of tax years 2014 through 2019, which was concluded during the prior six-month period.
Previous wording

Previous wording
The increase in Segment Profit for the Americas Segment from the prior period to the current period was primarily attributable to higher conversion margins primarily due to improved variable cost management efforts. Segment Profit for the Americas Segment continues to be negatively impacted by a lower proportion of fiber sales volumes. As fiber products carry a higher selling price and allocation of production costs versus Chip and Flake, lower fiber production drives weaker fixed cost absorption and adversely impacts gross profit and gross margin.

Current wording
The decrease in net sales for the Asia Segment from the prior six-month period to the current six-month period was primarily attributable to the changes in sales volumes related to customer-specific programs, partially offset by (a) an overall increase in sales volumes compared to the prior six-month period despite continued weak global demand, particularly for apparel and (b) favorable foreign currency translation effects due to the strengthening of the RMB versus the USD.
Previous wording

Borrowings available under financing arrangements are generally collateralized by receivables and inventory owned in the U.S. and generally constrained by the fixed charge coverage ratio and trigger level prescribed in the 2022 Credit Agreement.

UNIFI’s primary cash requirements, in addition to normal course operating activities (e.g., working capital and payroll), primarily include (i) capital expenditures that generally have commitments of up to 12 months, (ii) contractual obligations that support normal course ongoing operations and production, (iii) operating leases and finance leases, (iv) debt service, and (v) share repurchases.

Consolidated net sales for the current period increased by $1,963, or 1.4%, and consolidated sales volumes increased by 6.2%, compared to the prior period. Net sales in the current period were higher primarily due to improved sales volumes in each of the reportable segments, along with favorable pricing and market share gains in Brazil, mainly offset by a weaker sales mix in Asia. Despite these sales volume improvements, volumes remain depressed, particularly in the Americas and Asia Segments as a result of continued weak global demand.
