Unifi, Inc. is generally not significantly impacted by seasonality in its demand, but typically experiences its highest sales volumes in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. The most notable effects on Unifi's operational results during the year are due to planned manufacturing shutdowns by either Unifi or its customers for certain holiday or traditional shutdown periods. In fiscal 2025, the Asia Segment's results were unfavorably impacted by weak demand and volatility stemming from customer-demand headwinds and tariffs.
