Unisync Reports Continued Stable Performance in Q2 2021
May 13 2021 - 7:30AM
Unisync Corp. (“Unisync" or “Company”) (TSX:"UNI")
(OTCQX: “USYNF”) reports consolidated revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 2021 of $21.1 million – comparable to the average
revenue for the previous three COVID-19 pandemic impacted quarters.
Q2 2021 revenues were nevertheless $6.6 million (24%) less than the
$27.7 million generated in the comparable pre-pandemic quarter last
year when the Company completed the major portion of a new uniform
rollout for Alaska Airlines and had yet to experience the
significant impact of the pandemic on its transportation and
hospitality accounts.
Consolidated after tax net income for the
quarter was a loss of $0.78 million ($0.05/share), compared to a
profit of $0.36 million ($0.02/share) in the same quarter last
year.
Adjusted EBITDA (comprehensive income before
interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization,
share-based payment, and acquisition related costs) was $0.6
million ($0.03/share) for Q2 2021 compared to $2.5 million
($0.14/share) for the same quarter in fiscal 2020. Adjusted EBITDA
does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is
therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented
by other issuers and should not be considered in isolation nor as a
substitute for financial information reported under IFRS.

broad-based vertically integrated North American enterprise with
exceptional capabilities in garment design, domestic manufacturing,

operates through two business units: Unisync Group Limited (“UGL”)
and 90% owned Peerless Garments LP which has been producing

Business OutlookWith COVID-19
vaccinations having high efficacy now being broadly administered
across North America and worldwide, the Company believes that it
will see a gradual improvement in the business conditions of its
general customer base as a greater percentage of the population
gets vaccinated and businesses begin to return to normal. In
particular, UGL’s larger airline accounts have been running at 20%
to 30% of previous capacity levels during much of the pandemic and
some smaller transportation accounts have temporarily ceased
operating. With the greater rate of COVID-19 vaccinations currently
in the United States, domestic air travel there has recently
climbed to 70% of pre-pandemic levels and it is expected that the
rebound in air travel will continue as travel restrictions are
lifted worldwide. The Company expects that this will cause a strong
increase in uniform sales to its airline accounts as well as other
accounts in the transportation and hospitality sectors and when
complimented by recent new account additions, will result in an
improving revenue and profitability picture as the year progresses.
The Company also expects to continue to take advantage of
opportunities in the PPE space with bids ongoing for large volume
contracts at all levels of government as they seek to be better
prepared for future COVID-19 outbreaks.
