Note A— Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Delta Apparel, Inc. (collectively with DTG2Go, LLC, Salt Life, LLC, M.J. Soffe, LLC, and other subsidiaries, "Delta Apparel," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company") is a vertically-integrated, international apparel company with approximately
We design and internally manufacture the majority of our products, with more than 90% of the apparel units that we sell sewn in our own facilities. This allows us to offer a high degree of consistency and quality, leverage scale efficiencies, and react quickly to changes in trends within the marketplace. We have manufacturing operations located in the United States, El Salvador, Honduras, and Mexico, and we use domestic and foreign contractors as additional sources of production. Our distribution facilities are strategically located throughout the United States to better serve our customers with same-day shipping on our catalog products and weekly replenishments to retailers. We were incorporated in Georgia in 1999, and our headquarters is located in Duluth, Georgia. Our common stock trades on the NYSE American exchange under the symbol “DLA."
We operate on a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to September 30. Our 2023 fiscal year is a 52-week year and will end on September 30, 2023 ("fiscal 2023"). Accordingly, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q presents our results for our third quarter of fiscal 2023. Our 2022 fiscal year was a 52-week year and ended on October 1, 2022 ("fiscal 2022").
For presentation purposes herein, all references to period ended relate to the following fiscal years and dates:
| Period Ended | Fiscal Year | Date Ended |
| June 2022 | Fiscal 2022 | July 2, 2022 |
| September 2022 | Fiscal 2022 | October 1, 2022 |
| December 2022 | Fiscal 2023 | December 31, 2022 |
| March 2023 | Fiscal 2023 | April 1, 2023 |
| June 2023 | Fiscal 2023 | July 1, 2023 |
We prepared the accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. We believe these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for our fiscal 2023. Although our various product lines are sold on a year-round basis, the demand for specific products or styles reflects some seasonality. By diversifying our product lines and go-to-market strategies over the years, we have reduced the overall seasonality of our business. Consumer demand for apparel is cyclical and dependent upon the overall level of demand for soft goods, which may or may not coincide with the overall level of discretionary consumer spending. These levels of demand change as regional, domestic and international economic conditions change. Therefore, the distribution of sales by quarter in fiscal 2023 may not be indicative of the distribution in future years. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal 2022, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Delta Apparel and its wholly-owned and majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. We apply the equity method of accounting for our investment in
We make available copies of materials we file with, or furnish to, the SEC free of charge at https://ir.deltaapparelinc.com. The information found on our website is not part of this, or any other, report that we file with, or furnish to, the SEC. In addition, we will provide upon request, at no cost, paper or electronic copies of our reports and other filings made with the SEC. Requests should be directed to: Investor Relations Department, Delta Apparel, Inc., 2750 Premiere Parkway, Suite 100, Duluth, Georgia 30097. Requests can also be made by telephone to 864-232-5200, or via email at investor.relations@deltaapparel.com.
Our accounting policies are consistent with those described in our Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal 2022, filed with the SEC. See Note C for consideration of recently issued accounting standards.
Note C—New Accounting Standards
Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires an entity to assess impairment of its financial instruments based on the entity's estimate of expected credit losses. Since the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB released several amendments to improve and clarify the implementation guidance. These standards have been collectively codified within ASC Topic 326, Credit Losses (“ASC 326”). As a smaller reporting company as defined by the SEC, the provisions of ASC 326 are effective as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2024. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASC 326 on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and disclosures.
Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include revenue streams from retail sales at our branded retail stores; direct-to-consumer ecommerce sales on our consumer-facing websites; and sales from wholesale channels, which includes our business-to-business ecommerce and DTG2Go sales.

Our subsidiaries M.J. Soffe, LLC, Culver City Clothing Company, Salt Life, LLC, and DTG2Go, LLC (collectively, the "Borrowers"), are co-borrowers under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Borrowers entered into amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo and the other lenders on November 27, 2017, March 9, 2018, October 8, 2018, November 19, 2019, April 27, 2020, August 28, 2020, June 2, 2022, January 3, 2023, February 3, 2023, and March 23, 2023.

Note H—Stock-Based Compensation
On February 6, 2020, our shareholders approved the Delta Apparel, Inc. 2020 Stock Plan ("2020 Stock Plan") to replace the 2010 Stock Plan, which was previously re-approved by our shareholders on February 4, 2015, and was scheduled to expire by its terms on September 14, 2020. The purpose of the 2020 Stock Plan is to continue to give our Board of Directors and its Compensation Committee the ability to offer a variety of compensatory awards designed to enhance the Company’s long-term success by encouraging stock ownership among its executives, key employees and directors. Under the 2020 Stock Plan, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has the authority to determine the employees and directors to whom awards may be granted, and the size and type of each award and manner in which such awards will vest. The awards available under the plan consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, stock performance units, and other stock and cash awards. While employed by the Company or serving as a director, unvested awards become fully vested under certain circumstances as defined in the 2020 Stock Plan. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, the participant’s death or disability. The Compensation Committee is authorized to establish the terms and conditions of awards granted under the 2020 Stock Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the 2020 Stock Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems necessary. Similar to the 2010 Stock Plan, the 2020 Stock Plan limits the number of shares that may be covered by awards to any participant in a given calendar year and also limits the aggregate awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance stock granted in a given calendar year. Shares are generally issued from treasury stock upon the vesting of the restricted stock units, performance units or other awards under the 2020 Stock Plan.

Our operations are managed and reported in segments, Delta Group and Salt Life Group, which reflect the manner in which the business is managed, and results are reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker.
The Delta Group is comprised of the following business units, which are primarily focused on core activewear styles: DTG2Go and Delta Activewear.
DTG2Go is a market leader in the on-demand, direct-to-garment digital print and fulfillment industry, bringing technology and innovation to the supply chains of our many customers. Our ‘On-Demand DC’ digital solution provides retailers and brands with immediate access to utilize DTG2Go’s broad network of print and fulfillment facilities, while offering the scalability to integrate digital fulfillment within the customer's own distribution facilities. We use highly-automated factory processes and our proprietary software to deliver on-demand, digitally printed apparel direct to consumers on behalf of our customers. Via our multi-facility fulfillment footprint across the United States, DTG2Go offers a robust digital supply chain shipping custom graphic products within 24 to 48 hours to consumers in the United States and to over 100 countries internationally. DTG2Go has made significant investments in its “digital first” retail model providing digital graphic prints that meet the high-quality standards of brands, retailers and intellectual property holders. Through integration with Delta Activewear, DTG2Go also services the eRetailer, ad-specialty, promotional and screen print marketplaces, among others.
Delta Activewear is a preferred supplier of activewear apparel to regional and global brands as well as direct-to-retail and wholesale markets. The Activewear business is organized around three key customer channels – Delta Direct, Global Brands, and Retail Direct – that are distinct in their go-to-market strategies and how their respective customer bases source their various apparel needs. Our Delta Direct channel services the screen print, promotional, and eRetailer markets as well as retail licensing customers that sell through to many mid-tier and mass market retailers. Delta Direct products include a broad portfolio of apparel and accessories under the Delta, Delta Platinum, and Soffe brands as well as sourced items from select third party brands. Our fashion basics line includes our Platinum Collection, which offers fresh, fashionable silhouettes with a luxurious look and feel, as well as versatile fleece offerings. We offer innovative apparel products, including the Delta Dri line of performance shirts built with moisture-wicking material to keep athletes dry and comfortable; ringspun garments with superior comfort, style and durability; and Delta Soft, a collection with an incredible feel and price. We also offer our heritage, mid- and heavier-weight Delta Pro Weight® and Magnum Weight® tee shirts.
The iconic Soffe brand offers activewear for spirit makers and record breakers and is widely known for the original "cheer short" with the signature roll-down waistband. Soffe carries a wide range of activewear for the entire family. Soffe's heritage is anchored in the military, and we continue to be a proud supplier to both active duty and veteran United States military personnel worldwide. The Soffe men's assortment features the tagline "anchored in the military, grounded in training" and offers everything from physical training gear certified by the respective branches of the military, classic base layers that include the favored 3-pack tees, and the iconic "ranger panty." Complementing the Delta and Soffe brand apparel, we offer customers a broad range of nationally recognized branded products including polos, outerwear, headwear, bags and other accessories. Our Soffe products are also available direct to consumers at www.soffe.com.
Our Global Brands channel serves as a key supply chain partner to large multi-national brands, major branded sportswear companies, trendy regional brands, and all branches of the United States armed forces, providing services ranging from custom product development to the shipment of branded products with “retail-ready” value-added services including embellishment, hangtags, and ticketing.
Our Retail Direct channel serves brick and mortar and online retailers by providing our portfolio of Delta, Delta Platinum, and Soffe products directly to the retail locations and ecommerce fulfillment centers of a diversified customer base including sporting goods and outdoor retailers, specialty and resort shops, farm and fleet stores, department stores, and mid-tier and mass retailers. As a key element of the integrated Delta Group segment, each of Activewear’s primary channels offer a seamless solution for replenishment strategies, small-run decoration needs, and quick reaction programs with on-demand digital print services, powered by DTG2Go.
The Salt Life Group is comprised of our Salt Life business, which is built on the authentic, aspirational Salt Life lifestyle brand that represents a passion for the ocean, the salt air, and, more importantly, a way of life and all it offers, from surfing, fishing, and diving to beach fun and sun-soaked relaxation. The Salt Life brand combines function and fashion with a tailored fit for the active lifestyles of those that “live the Salt Life.” With increased worldwide appeal, Salt Life has continued to provide the cotton graphic tees and logo decals that originally drove awareness for the brand, and expanded into performance apparel, swimwear, board shorts, sunglasses, bags, and accessories. Consumers can also seamlessly experience the Salt Life brand through retail partners including surf shops, specialty stores, department stores, and outdoor merchants or by accessing our Salt Life ecommerce site at www.saltlife.com.
Our chief operating decision maker and management evaluate performance and allocate resources based on profit or loss from operations before interest, income taxes and special charges ("segment operating earnings"). Our segment operating earnings may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022, filed with the SEC. Intercompany transfers between operating segments are transacted at cost and have been eliminated within the segment amounts shown in the following table (in thousands).

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 enacted on December 22, 2017, significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax code by, among other things, lowering federal corporate income tax rates, implementing a modified territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax ("transition tax") on deemed repatriated cumulative earnings of foreign subsidiaries which will be paid over eight years. In addition, new taxes were imposed related to foreign income, including a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as well as a limitation on the deduction for business interest expense (“Section 163(j)"). GILTI is the excess of the shareholder’s net controlled foreign corporations net tested income over the net deemed tangible income. GILTI income is eligible for a deduction of up to 50% of the income inclusion, but the deduction is limited to the amount of U.S. adjusted taxable income. The Section 163(j) limitation does not allow the amount of deductible interest to exceed the sum of the taxpayer's business interest income and 30% of the taxpayer’s adjusted taxable income. We have included in our calculation of our effective tax rate the estimated impact of GILTI and Section 163(j). In addition, we have elected to account for the tax on GILTI as a period cost and, therefore, do not record deferred taxes related to GILTI on our foreign subsidiaries.
Our effective income tax rate on operations for the nine-months ended June 2023 was
Note L—Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements
From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps or other instruments to manage our interest rate exposure and reduce the impact of future interest rate changes. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. We have designated our interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges of our future interest payments. As a result, the gains and losses on the swap contracts are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and are reclassified into interest expense as the related interest payments are made. As of June 2023, all of our other comprehensive income was attributable to shareholders; none related to the non-controlling interest. Outstanding instruments as of June 2023 are as follows:

From time to time, we may purchase cotton option contracts to economically hedge the risk related to market fluctuations in the cost of cotton used in our operations. We do not receive hedge accounting treatment for these derivatives. As such, the realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with them are recorded within cost of goods sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. No such cotton contracts were outstanding at June 2023 and September 2022.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped in three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:
| ○ |
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
| ○ |
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are less active. |
|
| ○ |
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity for assets or liabilities and includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. |

The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the forward interest rate curves adjusted for our credit risk, which fall in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 2023 and September 2022, book value for fixed rate debt approximates fair value based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities (a Level 2 fair value measurement).
At times, we are party to various legal claims, actions and complaints. We believe that, as a result of legal defenses, insurance arrangements, and indemnification provisions with parties believed to be financially capable, such actions should not have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Business Outlook
We are seeing indications of stabilizing demand in the activewear market and believe that the elevated inventory levels in the retail supply chain following last year’s heavy buying activity may be moderating. In addition, we continue to make steady progress towards a more normalized operating environment for our business, with our decision last year to reduce production levels to align with the lower demand environment and purchase less price-inflated cotton proving effective in positioning Delta Apparel for improved operating results going forward.
During our third quarter we were able to work through much of the trailing expense impacts of our curtailed production levels and last year’s historically high-priced cotton flowing through our cost of sales. Our Activewear business, which houses our nearshore manufacturing platform and serves the channels hit hardest by the over-inventoried retail environment, was the most directly impacted by these unique cost-driving events. Now that we are inputting lower cotton cost in our inventory and running our manufacturing facilities at levels closer to capacity, we believe our Activewear business is well-positioned to take advantage of market improvements going forward.
We expect to complete a significant strategic initiative before the end of our fiscal year involving the transition of our more expensive offshore production capacity into our lower cost Central American platform. This initiative, along with several other recent restructuring activities, should generate annual cost savings of up to $6 million. We also made substantial progress during the quarter on inventory and debt reduction initiatives intended to counteract the challenging operating environment seen in recent periods, including an approximately 20% reduction in inventory and an approximately 15% reduction in long-term debt from our most recent high points. We expect further inventory and debt reductions as we move through our fourth quarter and plan to continue to tightly manage our spending and reduce capital expenditures year-over-year.
Our Salt Life business continued to expand its direct-to-consumer footprint during the quarter, opening its 24th and 25th retail locations across the country. Salt Life’s branded retail footprint now extends across nine states including California, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Delaware, New Jersey and, most recently, two locations in New York. In addition, Salt Life’s ecommerce business grew over 100% during the June quarter and achieved significant gains across key metrics including site traffic and conversion rates. Salt Life’s four new retail locations in the Northeast U.S. market are a great example of our omni-channel consumer strategy and data-driven approach to retail store site selection, with ecommerce order activity in New Jersey and New York and adjacent states consistently among the most active on our site in recent periods. We expect for Salt Life’s direct-to-consumer retail and ecommerce channels to continue to expand and anticipate additional sales growth at Salt Life going forward.
Our DTG2Go business recently achieved a variety of key milestones, including the recalibration of our entire “Digital First” technology fleet, a consumer satisfaction initiative involving the rationalization of size and color offerings within our “Digital First” channel, and the launch of a proprietary online portal geared towards quick reaction programs not suited for traditional decoration platforms. The gains flowing from these initiatives and the near-term demand creation opportunities from the new portal should provide a solid foundation for improved operating results and double-digit sales growth at DTG2Go going forward. Moreover, DTG2Go is poised to further capitalize on the ongoing digital disruption in the decorated apparel market through its industry-leading print capacity, nationwide fulfillment network, proprietary technology and processes, and vertical blank supply through Delta Direct.
With two very significant cost-driving trends now moving behind us and a streamlined cost structure in place moving ahead, Delta Apparel is in an excellent position to take advantage of favorable changes in demand as they arise across our five go-to-market channels. We expect to see steady improvement in our overall operating results as we close out our fourth quarter and move into our next fiscal year. For fiscal year 2024, we currently anticipate net sales in a range of $410 to $425 million generating operating profit margins of 3.25% to 4.25%, with gross margins sequentially increasing into the low-to-mid 20% range and improving operating profit margins beginning in the second quarter, as well as revenue growth in the second half of the year. We remain keenly focused on growth, profitability, and above all, creating value for shareholders for many years to come.
Results of Operations
Financial results included herein have been presented on a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis and, in certain limited instances, we have presented our financial results on a GAAP and non-GAAP (“adjusted”) basis, which is further described in the sections entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Net sales were $106.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, a decline of 16% compared to the prior year third quarter net sales of $126.9 million. For the first nine months, net sales were $323.9 million compared to prior year period net sales of $369.3 million.
Net sales in the Delta Group segment declined 16% to $89.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $106.0 million in the prior year third quarter. Delta Direct channel sales were down from the prior year but sequentially grew 9% from the March quarter. Retail Direct and Global Brand channel sales declined primarily due to customers being overstocked. Net sales in the Delta Group segment for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 were $277.5 million, a 14% decrease from the prior year.
Net sales in the Salt Life Group segment for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 declined 18% to $17.2 million compared to $20.9 million in the prior year third quarter. Salt Life direct-to-consumer sales continued their strong growth trend with over 100% sales growth in ecommerce and 11% sales growth in the branded Salt Life stores over the prior year. This was offset by lower wholesale sales year-over-year due to sales in the prior year quarter being skewed by significant sales shifting from the March quarter to the June quarter in connection with transportation delays. For the first nine months of 2023, net sales were $46.5 million, up $0.5 million from the prior year's net sales of $46.0 million.
Gross margins were 13.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, a decline from 24.2% in the prior year third quarter driven by production curtailments to match manufacturing output with market demand as well as inflationary cotton costs (collectively "Production Curtailment & Cotton Costs"). Excluding these Production Curtailment & Cotton Costs, third quarter adjusted gross margins were 22.7%. Gross margins for the first nine months were 13.5% compared to 23.6% in the prior year period, driven primarily by the Production Curtailment & Cotton Costs coupled with the impacts of the restructuring actions actions we undertook to better optimize our overall cost structure (collectively "Restructuring Costs"). Excluding the Production Curtailment & Cotton Costs and Restructuring Costs, adjusted gross margins for the first nine months were 22.7%.
The Delta Group segment gross margins were 5.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 19.1% in the prior year third quarter. Excluding the Production Curtailment & Cotton Costs, adjusted gross margins were 17.4%. Gross margins for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 declined from 19.6% in the prior year to 6.5% in the current year. However, when excluding the Production Curtailment & Cotton Costs and Restructuring Costs we took earlier this year, Delta Group segment adjusted gross margins were 17.2%.
The Salt Life Group segment gross margins were 50.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, an improvement of 30 basis points compared to 50.2% in the prior year third quarter resulting from a favorable mix of sales, including increased Salt Life branded retail store sales. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2023, gross margins grew to 55.4% of sales from 51.6% in the prior year.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $18.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, or 17.4% of sales, compared to $22.4 million, or 17.7% of sales, in the prior year's third quarter. The decrease in SG&A expenses of $3.9 million compared to the prior year third quarter was primarily driven by lower variable selling and distribution costs as well as lower compensation costs. SG&A expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 were $56.7 million, or 17.5% of sales, compared to $59.6 million, or 16.1% of sales, in the prior year.
Other income for the 2023 and 2022 third fiscal quarters include profits related to our Green Valley Industrial Park equity method investment. Other income for the third fiscal quarter of 2022 also includes a valuation change in our contingent consideration liabilities of $0.8 million. Other income for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 includes a discrete gain of $2.5 million from the settlement of a commercial litigation matter recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as well as profits in our Honduran equity method investment, offset by costs incurred to better align our offshore manufacturing cost structure with market demand. Other income for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, included profits related to our Honduran equity method investment and a valuation adjustment of our contingent consideration.
Operating loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $4.5 million, or (4.2)% of sales. This is a decrease of 148.0% over the prior year third fiscal quarter's $9.3 million of operating profit. However, excluding the Production Curtailment & Cotton Costs, third quarter adjusted operating income was $5.8 million, or 5.5% of sales. Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 declined year-over-year from $29.6 million, or 8% of sales, to an operating loss of $12.4 million, or (3.8%) of sales. However, excluding the Production Curtailment & Cotton Costs and Restructuring Costs, operating income was $20.5 million, or 6.3% of sales. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2022, operating income was $29.6 million.
The Delta Group segment experienced an operating loss of $3.6 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2023, or (4.1%) of net sales, compared to operating profit of $10.7 million, or 10.1% of net sales, in the prior year third quarter. Excluding the Production Curtailment & Cotton Costs, third quarter adjusted operating income was $6.7 million, or 7.5% of net sales. Operating loss was $11.0 million, or (4.0)% of sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to operating income of $33.6 million, or 10.4% of sales, in the prior year period. However, excluding the Production Curtailment & Cotton Costs and Restructuring Costs, Delta Group segment adjusted operating income was $22.0 million, or 7.9% of sales.
The Salt Life Group segment achieved operating income of $1.6 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2023, or 9.6% of net sales, compared to $3.6 million, or 17% of net sales, in the prior year third quarter. The lower operating income was driven by lower sales volume and increased selling costs partially offset by increased gross margins as a percentage of sales. For the first nine months of fiscal 2023, operating income was $6.6 million, or 14.1% of sales, compared to $7 million, or 15.3% of sales, in the prior year period.
Net interest expense for the third quarters of fiscal year 2023 and 2022 was $4.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Net interest expense for the first nine months of 2023 was $10.7 million compared to $5.4 million in the prior year first nine months. The increases in interest expense are over the prior year periods is primarily due to increased interest rates.
Our effective tax rate on operations for the nine-month period ended June 2023 was 27.0%. This compares to an effective tax rate of 17.2% for the same period in the prior year and 17.9% for the full fiscal year 2022. Changes in the mix of U.S. taxable income compared to profits in tax-free or lower-tax jurisdictions drove this change in our effective tax rate.
Net loss attributable to shareholders for the third fiscal quarter of 2023 was $6.3 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.2 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in the prior year. Excluding the Production Curtailment & Cotton Costs, third quarter adjusted net income was $1.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. Net loss attributable to shareholders for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was $16.8 million, or $2.41 per diluted share, compared to net income of $20.0 million, or $2.84 per diluted share, in the prior year. However, excluding the Production Curtailment & Cotton Costs along with Restructuring Costs, adjusted net income was $7.2 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2023.
Accounts receivable were $41.7 million at June 2023, compared to $68.2 million as of September 2022. Days sales outstanding ("DSO") as of June 2023 were 36 days compared to 52 days at September 2022.
Net inventory as of June 2023 was $226.2 million, a decrease of $22.3 million from September 2022. The inventory value is lower than both the prior third quarter and fiscal year end as a result of lower input costs impacting materials, transportation and labor combined with a decrease in units on hand.
Total net debt, including capital lease financing and cash on hand, was $166.2 million at June 2023, a decrease of $4.4 million from September 2022. Cash on hand and availability under our U.S. revolving credit facility totaled $14.4 million at June 2023, a $20.3 million decrease from September 2022 principally driven by investments in the business to support working capital needs and increased input costs due to inflationary pressures.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We provide all information required in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but we believe that evaluating our ongoing operating results may be difficult if limited to reviewing only U.S. GAAP financial measures. In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results, we also provide non-GAAP information that management believes is useful to investors. We discuss gross margins, operating income and net income performance measures that are, for comparison purposes, adjusted to eliminate items or results stemming from discrete events. We do this because management uses these measures in evaluating our underlying performance on a consistent basis across periods. We also believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our ongoing performance. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and securities analysts, investors and other interested parties should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis or our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Reconciliation of GAAP gross margins to non-GAAP gross margins, GAAP operating income to non-GAAP operating income, and GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income are presented below. A description of the amounts excluded on a non-GAAP basis are provided in conjunction with the below information. Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP net income should be evaluated in light of the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1) Production Curtailment Costs consist of unabsorbed fixed costs, temporary unemployment benefit payments, and other expense items resulting from the Company's decision to reduce production levels to better align with the significantly reduced demand across the activewear industry due to high inventory levels stemming from the heavy replenishment activity following pandemic-related supply chain challenges.
(2) Cotton Costs consist of the amount of the cotton component of the Company's cost of sales in excess of the average price per pound of cotton over a recent 10-year period ($0.78 per pound) as well as a reasonable estimate of the additional cost for what the industry refers to as "basis" typically required to be purchased in connection with the delivery of cotton ($0.15 per pound). As such, Cotton Costs consist of the cotton component of the Company's cost of sales in excess of $0.93 per pound.
(3) Restructuring Costs consist of employee severance benefits paid in connection with the transition of our more expensive Mexico manufacturing capacity to our more efficient Central America manufacturing platform, employee severance benefits paid in connection of leadership restructuring, expenses incurred in connection with the closure of a legacy facility we acquired via acquisition and the absorption of the print capacity at that facility into our nationwide network of dual purpose digital print and blank garment distribution facilities, and additional cost items incurred from restructuring activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Cash Flows
Operating activities resulted in cash provided of $10.8 million for the nine months ended June 2023 compared to net cash used in operations of $13.4 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash provided by operating cash flows in the current year is due to a decline in inventory compared to the prior year build from increased input costs and manufacturing output. This was partially offset by decreased earnings in the business and change in the timing of payments to suppliers in the current period.
Investing Cash Flows
Cash outflows for capital expenditures were $3.5 million during the first nine months of 2023 compared to $11.6 million in the same period in the prior year. We anticipate our fiscal 2023 capital expenditures, including those financed under capital leases, to be approximately $8.0 million for fiscal 2023 and to be focused primarily on our information technology and direct-to-consumer investments, including additional Salt Life retail store openings.
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended June 2023, cash used in financing activities was $11.7 million and primarily related to repayments of debt partially offset by debt drawdowns to fund our operating activities, working capital needs, and certain capital investments offset by scheduled loan principal payments.
Future Liquidity and Capital Resources
See Note F – Debt to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of our various financing arrangements, including the terms of our revolving U.S. credit facility.
Our credit facility, as well as cash flows from operations, are intended to fund our day-to-day working capital needs, and along with capital lease financing arrangements, to fund our planned capital expenditures. However, any material deterioration in our results of operations, may result in the loss of our ability to borrow under our U.S. revolving credit facility and to issue letters of credit to suppliers, or may cause the borrowing availability under that facility to be insufficient for our needs. Availability under our credit facility is primarily a function of the levels of our accounts receivable and inventory. A significant deterioration in our accounts receivable or inventory levels could restrict our ability to borrow additional funds or service our indebtedness. Our availability at June 2023 was above the applicable minimum thresholds specified in our credit agreement, and we were in compliance with the applicable EBITDA covenant minimum thresholds.
We currently believe that our results of operations should be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our liquidity needs and comply with the covenants in our U.S. revolving credit facility. Our ability to satisfy our liquidity needs and meet the covenants in our U.S. revolving credit facility is dependent upon our ability to achieve operating results that reflect improvement over our results for the nine months ended June 2023. Although we are currently in compliance with the applicable EBITDA covenant in our U.S. revolving credit facility as of June 2023, the minimum thresholds applicable to that covenant increase in the coming quarter. Means for improving our profitability include successfully meeting sales targets, expense management and the realization of pricing, productivity and efficiency initiatives, as well as increased production volumes, all of which may not be within our control. If we are unable to achieve the improved results required to comply with this covenant, we will need to pursue certain actions including, but not limited to, reducing capital expenditures for machinery & equipment and technology and seeking to implement additional cost reductions within the organization, all of which may not be within our control. Some of those actions might adversely affect our results of operations and financial performance.
Share Repurchase Program
We did not purchase any shares under our previously announced share repurchase program in the June 2023 quarter. The total amount repurchased during the life of the program is $56.4 million. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we had $3.6 million of remaining repurchase capacity under our existing authorization.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and related reserves, inventory and related reserves, the carrying value of goodwill, and the accounting for income taxes.
A detailed discussion of critical accounting policies is contained in the Significant Accounting Policies included in Note 2 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022, and there have been no changes in those policies since the filing of that Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC, except as disclosed in Note C—New Accounting Standards related to the adoption of the cloud computing standard.
Environmental and Other Regulatory Matters
We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, wastewater discharges, storm water flows, air emissions and solid waste disposal. The labeling, distribution, importation, marketing, and sale of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various federal agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Product Safety Commission and state attorneys general in the United States. Our international operations are also subject to compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) and other anti-bribery laws applicable to our operations.
The environmental and other regulations applicable to our business are becoming increasingly stringent, and we incur capital and other expenditures annually to achieve compliance with these environmental standards and regulations. We currently do not expect that the amount of expenditures required to comply with these environmental standards or other regulatory matters will have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition or liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that future changes in federal, state, or local regulations, interpretations of existing regulations or the discovery of currently unknown problems or conditions will not require substantial additional expenditures. Similarly, while we believe that we are currently in compliance with all applicable environmental and other regulatory requirements, the extent of our liability, if any, for past failures to comply with laws, regulations and permits applicable to our operations cannot be determined and could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and liquidity.
| Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s requirements. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and principal accounting officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and principal accounting officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report ("the Evaluation Date") and, based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and principal accounting officer have concluded that these controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes during the June 2023 quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Amendment to Delta Apparel, Inc. 2020 Stock Plan to Include "Double Trigger" Vesting Provisions
On August 2, 2023 (“Effective Date”), the Board of Directors of Delta Apparel, Inc. (“Board”) approved the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board (“Committee”) to enter into a Declaration of Amendment (“Amendment”) to the Delta Apparel, Inc. 2020 Stock Plan (“Plan”). The Plan was approved by the shareholders on February 6, 2020, and filed as Exhibit 1 to Delta Apparel’s Proxy Statement filed on December 17, 2019.
The Amendment essentially operates to add “double trigger” vesting provisions to the Plan in the event of a Change in Control. More specifically, the Amendment replaces Section 9(c) of the Plan entirely with the following terms that apply to grants of Awards made to Participants after the Effective Date and in the event of a Change in Control: (i) to the extent a successor or surviving company does not assume or substitute an Award granted prior to the Change in Control, the Award shall become fully vested, exercisable (if applicable), earned and payable to the fullest extent of the original grant of the applicable Award, provided that, performance-based Awards shall be deemed earned at target unless otherwise provided in an individual Award Agreement; (ii) if a successor or surviving company assumes, continues, or substitutes an Award granted prior to the Change in Control on substantially similar terms and if the employment or Service of a Participant is terminated for Cause or Good Reason within one year after the effective date of the Change in Control, the Award will become fully vested, exercisable (if applicable), earned and payable to the fullest extent of the original grant of the applicable Award, provided that, performance-based Awards shall be deemed earned at target; (iii) definitions are provided for the terms Cause and Good Reason; and (iv) unless an individual Award Agreement states otherwise, if the Participant has entered into an employment agreement or similar agreement or arrangement, the Participant is entitled to the greater of benefits provided upon a Change in Control under the Plan or the respective employment agreement or similar agreement or arrangement. The Amendment also provides that Awards outstanding as of the Effective Date shall continue in accordance with their terms and are not affected by the Amendment.
The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and which is incorporated herein by reference.

DECLARATION OF AMENDMENT TO
DELTA APPAREL, INC. 2020 STOCK PLAN
THIS DECLARATION OF AMENDMENT (the “Amendment”), is made effective as of August 2, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), by Delta Apparel, Inc. (the “Company”), to the Delta Apparel, Inc. 2020 Stock Plan (the “Plan”).
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has deemed it advisable to amend Section 9(c) of the Plan to modify the terms that apply to future grants of Awards in the event of a Change in Control (it being understood that (i) Awards that are outstanding as of the Effective Date shall continue in accordance with their terms and shall not be effected by the Amendment, and (ii) terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms in the Plan); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to evidence such amendment by this Declaration of Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS DECLARED that, effective as of the date above, the Plan shall be and hereby is amended as follows:
1. Amendment to Section 9(c) (“Events Affecting Outstanding Awards - Change in Control”). Section 9(c) is hereby amended by deleting the current Section 9(c) in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:
“9(c). Change in Control
(i) With respect to awards granted before August 2, 2023, the following shall apply: In the event of a Change in Control, all outstanding Stock Options and SARs shall become fully vested and exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be terminated, all performance goals shall be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met to deliver all Performance Stock, and pay out all Performance Units and Restricted Stock Units, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
(ii) With respect to Awards granted on or after August 2, 2023, the following shall apply:
(A) To the extent that the successor or surviving company in the Change in Control event does not assume or substitute for an Award (or in which the Company is the ultimate parent corporation and does not continue the Award) on substantially similar terms or with substantially equivalent economic benefits (as determined by the Committee) as Awards outstanding under the Plan immediately prior to the Change in Control event, (1) all outstanding Options and SARs shall become fully vested and exercisable, whether or not then otherwise vested and exercisable; and (2) any restrictions, including, but not limited to, the Restricted Period, Performance Period, and/or performance factors or criteria applicable to any outstanding Awards other than Options or SARs shall be deemed to have been met, and such Awards shall become fully vested, earned and payable to the fullest extent of the original grant of the applicable Award, provided that, in the case of performance-based Awards, the earning of which is based on attaining a target level of performance, such Awards shall be deemed earned at target, unless otherwise provided in an individual Award Agreement.
(B) Further, in the event that an Award is substituted on substantially similar terms or with substantially equivalent economic benefits (as determined by the Committee), assumed or continued, the Award will nonetheless become vested (and, in the case of Options and SARs, exercisable) in full and any restrictions, including, but not limited to, the Restricted Period, Performance Period, and/or performance factors or criteria applicable to any outstanding Award other than Options or SARs shall be deemed to have been met, and such Awards shall become fully vested, earned and payable to the fullest extent of the original award, provided that, in the case of performance-based Awards, the earning of which is based on attaining a target level of performance, such Awards shall be deemed earned at target (unless otherwise provided in an individual Award Agreement), if the employment or Service of the Participant is terminated within one year after the effective date of a Change in Control and such termination of employment or Service (1) is by the Company not for Cause or (2) is by the Participant for Good Reason. For clarification, for the purposes of this Section 9(c), the “Company” shall include any successor to the Company.
(C) For the purposes herein, unless the Committee determines otherwise or an Award Agreement provides otherwise, “Cause” means a Participant’s termination of employment or Service resulting from (1) the Participant’s termination for “Cause” as defined under the Participant’s employment agreement or similar agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, if any, or (2) if the Participant has not entered into any agreement (or if any such agreement does not define “Cause”), then any of the following: (A) the Participant’s commission of fraud; (B) the Participant’s commission of embezzlement; (C) the Participant’s conviction of a felony; (D) the willful or continued failure or refusal by the Participant to perform and discharge the Participant’s duties, responsibilities and obligations; (E) any act of moral turpitude or willful misconduct by the Participant intended to result in personal enrichment of the Participant at the expense of the Company or any of its Affiliates or which has a material adverse impact on the business or reputation of the Company or any of its Affiliates; (F) gross negligence or intentional misconduct by the Participant resulting in damage to the property, reputation or business of the Company; or (G) the ineligibility of the Participant to perform the Participant’s duties because of a ruling, directive or other action by any agency of the United States or any state of the United States having regulatory authority over the Company.
(D) For the purposes herein, unless the Committee determines otherwise or an Award Agreement provides otherwise, Good Reason means, in the context of a Change in Control, a Participant’s termination of employment or Service resulting from the Participant’s (1) termination for “Good Reason” as defined under the Participant’s employment agreement or similar agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, if any, or (2) if the Participant has not entered into any agreement (or if any such agreement does not define “Good Reason”), then a Participant’s termination shall be for “Good Reason” if termination results due to any of the following without the Participant’s consent:
|
1. |
the assignment to Participant by the Company of duties inconsistent with, or the reduction of the powers and functions associated with, Participant's position, duties, and responsibilities immediately prior to a Change of Control, or an adverse change in Participant's titles or offices as in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control, or any removal of the Participant from or any failure to re-elect Participant to any of such positions, except in connection with the termination of Participant’s employment for disability (as provided in Section 9(a)) or Cause or as a result of Participant's death, except to the extent that a change in duties relates to the elimination of responsibilities attendant to the Company or its parent company, as applicable, no longer being a publicly traded company; |
|
2. |
a reduction by the Company in the Participant's salary or compensation as in effect on the date of a Change of Control, or as the same may be subsequently increased from time to time during Participant’s employment; |
|
3. |
the Company shall require the Participant to be based anywhere other than at or within a 25-mile radius of the location where the Participant is based on the date of a Change of Control, or if Participant agrees to such relocation, the Company fails to reimburse the Participant for moving and all other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such move; |
|
4. |
a significant increase in Participant's required travel on behalf of the Company; and |
|
5. |
the Company shall fail to continue in effect any Company-sponsored plan or benefit that is in effect on the date of a Change of Control and pursuant to which Participant has received awards or benefits and is participating and that provides (a) incentive or bonus compensation, (b) fringe benefits such as paid time off, medical benefits, life insurance and accident insurance, (c) reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by the Participant in connection with the performance of duties with the Company, or (d) retirement benefits such as an Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) plan, except to the extent that such plans taken as a whole are replaced with substantially comparable plans. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to members of the Board (“Directors”), unless the Committee determines otherwise, a Director’s termination from Service on the Board shall be for “Good Reason” if the Participant ceases to serve as a Director or, if the Company is not the surviving company in the Change in Control event, a member of the board of directors of the surviving entity, in either case, due to the Participant’s failure to be nominated to serve as a director of such entity or the Participant’s failure to be elected to serve as a director of such entity, but not due to the Participant’s decision not to continue Service on the Board or the board of directors of the surviving entity, as the case may be. An event or condition that would otherwise constitute “Good Reason” shall constitute Good Reason only if the Company fails to rescind or cure such event or condition within 30 days after receipt from the Participant of written notice of the event which constitutes Good Reason, and Good Reason shall cease to exist for any event or condition described herein on the 90th day following the later of the occurrence or the Participant’s knowledge thereof, unless the Participant has given the Company written notice thereof prior to such date.
(E) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, and unless an individual Award Agreement provides otherwise, in the event that a Participant has entered into an employment agreement or similar agreement or arrangement with the Company, the Participant shall be entitled to the greater of the benefits provided upon a change in control of the Company under this Plan or the respective employment agreement or similar agreement, and such change in employment agreement or similar agreement or arrangement shall not be construed to reduce in any way the benefits otherwise provided to a Participant upon the occurrence of a Change in Control under the Plan.”
2. Continued Effect. Except as set forth herein, the Plan shall be unchanged and shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Declaration of Amendment is executed on behalf of Delta Apparel, Inc. effective as of the day and year first above written.

Note A— Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Delta Apparel, Inc. (collectively with DTG2Go, LLC, Salt Life, LLC, M.J. Soffe, LLC, and other subsidiaries, "Delta Apparel," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company") is a vertically-integrated, international apparel company with approximately 7,100 employees worldwide. We design, manufacture, source, and market a diverse portfolio of core activewear and lifestyle apparel products under our primary brands of Salt Life®, Soffe®, and Delta. We are a market leader in the on-demand, digital print and fulfillment industry, bringing DTG2Go's proprietary technology and innovation to our customers' supply chains. We specialize in selling casual and athletic products through a variety of distribution channels and tiers, including outdoor and sporting goods retailers, independent and specialty stores, better department stores and mid-tier retailers, mass merchants, eRetailers, the U.S. military, and through our business-to-business digital platform. Our products are also made available direct-to-consumer on our ecommerce sites and in our branded retail stores. Our diversified go-to-market strategy allows us to capitalize on our strengths in providing activewear and lifestyle apparel products to a broad and evolving customer base whose shopping preferences may span multiple retail channels.
We design and internally manufacture the majority of our products, with more than 90% of the apparel units that we sell sewn in our own facilities. This allows us to offer a high degree of consistency and quality, leverage scale efficiencies, and react quickly to changes in trends within the marketplace. We have manufacturing operations located in the United States, El Salvador, Honduras, and Mexico, and we use domestic and foreign contractors as additional sources of production. Our distribution facilities are strategically located throughout the United States to better serve our customers with same-day shipping on our catalog products and weekly replenishments to retailers. We were incorporated in Georgia in 1999, and our headquarters is located in Duluth, Georgia. Our common stock trades on the NYSE American exchange under the symbol “DLA."
We operate on a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to September 30. Our 2023 fiscal year is a 52-week year and will end on September 30, 2023 ("fiscal 2023"). Accordingly, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q presents our results for our third quarter of fiscal 2023. Our 2022 fiscal year was a 52-week year and ended on October 1, 2022 ("fiscal 2022").
For presentation purposes herein, all references to period ended relate to the following fiscal years and dates:
We prepared the accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. We believe these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for our fiscal 2023. Although our various product lines are sold on a year-round basis, the demand for specific products or styles reflects some seasonality. By diversifying our product lines and go-to-market strategies over the years, we have reduced the overall seasonality of our business. Consumer demand for apparel is cyclical and dependent upon the overall level of demand for soft goods, which may or may not coincide with the overall level of discretionary consumer spending. These levels of demand change as regional, domestic and international economic conditions change. Therefore, the distribution of sales by quarter in fiscal 2023 may not be indicative of the distribution in future years. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal 2022, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Delta Apparel and its wholly-owned and majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. We apply the equity method of accounting for our investment in 31% of the outstanding capital stock of a Honduran company. During the nine months ended June 2023 and June 2022, we received dividends from this investment of $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Our Ceiba Textiles manufacturing facility is leased under an operating lease arrangement with this Honduran company. During the nine months ended June 2023 and June 2022, we paid approximately $1.3 million in rent under this arrangement.
We make available copies of materials we file with, or furnish to, the SEC free of charge at https://ir.deltaapparelinc.com. The information found on our website is not part of this, or any other, report that we file with, or furnish to, the SEC. In addition, we will provide upon request, at no cost, paper or electronic copies of our reports and other filings made with the SEC. Requests should be directed to: Investor Relations Department, Delta Apparel, Inc., 2750 Premiere Parkway, Suite 100, Duluth, Georgia 30097.

Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires an entity to assess impairment of its financial instruments based on the entity's estimate of expected credit losses. Since the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB released several amendments to improve and clarify the implementation guidance. These standards have been collectively codified within ASC Topic 326, Credit Losses (“ASC 326”). As a smaller reporting company as defined by the SEC, the provisions of ASC 326 are effective as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2024. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASC 326 on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and disclosures.

Credit Facility
On May 10, 2016, we entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as further amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent, the Sole Lead Arranger and the Sole Book Runner, and the financial institutions named therein as Lenders, which are Wells Fargo, PNC Bank, and Regions Bank. Our subsidiaries M.J. Soffe, LLC, Culver City Clothing Company, Salt Life, LLC, and DTG2Go, LLC (collectively, the "Borrowers"), are co-borrowers under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Borrowers entered into amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo and the other lenders on November 27, 2017, March 9, 2018, October 8, 2018, November 19, 2019, April 27, 2020, August 28, 2020, June 2, 2022, January 3, 2023, February 3, 2023, and March 23, 2023.
On June 2, 2022, the Borrowers entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo and the other lenders set forth therein (the “Seventh Amendment”). The Seventh Amendment, (i) removes LIBOR based borrowing and utilizes SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) as the primary pricing structure, (ii) amends the pricing structure based on SOFR plus a CSA (Credit Spread Adjustment) defined as 10 bps for 1 month and 15 bps for 3-month tenors, (iii) sets the SOFR floor to 0 bps, (iv) reloads the fair market value of real estate and intellectual property within the borrowing base calculation and resets their respective amortization schedules, (v) sets the maturity date to 5 years from the closing date, and (vi) updates the requirement for our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) for the preceding 12-month period to not be less than 1.0 (previously 1.1).
On January 3, 2023, the Borrowers entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo and the other lenders set forth therein (the “Eighth Amendment”). The Eighth Amendment essentially clarifies the Amended Credit Agreement’s provisions regarding the inclusion of eligible in-transit inventory in the borrowing base and amends the definition of Increased Reporting Event to include 12.5% of the lesser of the borrowing base and the maximum revolver amount as opposed to 12.5% of the line cap.
On February 3, 2023, the Borrowers entered into the Ninth Amendment to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo and the other lenders set forth therein (“Ninth Amendment”). The Ninth Amendment adds an Accommodation Period beginning on the amendment date and continuing through the date following September 30, 2023, upon which Borrowers satisfy minimum availability thresholds and during which: (i) the minimum borrowing availability thresholds applicable to the Amended Credit Agreement are (a) through (and including) April 1, 2023, $7,500,000, (b) on and after April 2, 2023 through (and including) June 4, 2023, $9,000,000, (c) on and after June 5, 2023, through the date following September 30, 2023, upon which Borrowers satisfy minimum availability thresholds, and (d) at all times thereafter, (ii) the FCCR covenant is suspended; (iii) Borrowers must maintain specified minimum EBITDA levels for trailing three-month periods starting March 4, 2023; (iv) the Applicable Margin with respect to loans under the Amended Credit Agreement is increased by 50 basis points; and (v) a Cash Dominion Trigger Event occurs if availability is less than $2,000,000.
On March 23, 2023, the Borrowers entered into the Tenth Amendment to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo and the other lenders set forth therein to account for specified costs and expenses in calculating EBITDA for purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Amended Credit Agreement allows us to borrow up to $170 million (subject to borrowing base limitations), including a maximum of $25 million in letters of credit. Provided that no event of default exists, we have the option to increase the maximum credit to $200 million (subject to borrowing base limitations), conditioned upon the Administrative Agent's ability to secure additional commitments and customary closing conditions. The Amended Credit Agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause and a “springing” lockbox arrangement (as defined in ASC 470, Debt) whereby remittances from customers will be forwarded to our general bank account and will not reduce the outstanding debt until and unless a specified event or an event of default occurs. We classify borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement as long-term debt with consideration of current maturities.
As of June 2023, we had $126.4 million outstanding under our U.S. revolving credit facility at an average interest rate of 7.8%. Our cash on hand combined with the availability under the U.S. revolving credit facility totaled $14.4 million. At June 2023 and September 2022, there was $16.4 million and $24.9 million, respectively, of retained earnings free of restrictions to make cash dividend payments or stock repurchases to the extent permitted under our U.S. revolving credit facility.
Honduran Debt
Since March 2011, we have entered into term loans and a revolving credit facility with Banco Ficohsa, a Honduran bank, to finance investments in both the operations and capital expansion of our Honduran facilities. In December 2020, we entered into a new term loan and revolving credit facility with Banco Ficohsa, both with -year terms, and simultaneously settled the prior term loans and revolving credit facility with outstanding balances at the time of settlement of $1.1 million and $9.5 million, respectively. Additionally, in May 2022, we entered into a new term loan with a -year term with a principal amount of $3.7 million. These loans are secured by a first-priority lien on the assets of our Honduran operations and are not guaranteed by our U.S. entities. These loans are denominated in U.S. dollars, and the carrying value of the debt approximates its fair value. As the revolving credit facility permits us to re-borrow funds up to the amount repaid, subject to certain objective covenants, and we intend to re-borrow funds, subject to those covenants, the amounts borrowed are classified as long-term debt.
El Salvador Debt
In September 2022, we entered into a new term loan with a -year term with a principal amount of $3.0 million with Banco Ficohsa, a Panamanian bank, to finance investments in our El Salvador operations. This loan is secured by a first-priority lien on the assets of our El Salvador operations and is not guaranteed by our U.S. entities. The loan is denominated in U.S. dollars, and the carrying value of the debt approximates its fair value. Information about this loan and the outstanding balance as of March 2023 is listed as part of the long-term debt schedule below.
Additional information about these loans and the outstanding balances as of June 2023 is as follows (in thousands):

On February 6, 2020, our shareholders approved the Delta Apparel, Inc. 2020 Stock Plan ("2020 Stock Plan") to replace the 2010 Stock Plan, which was previously re-approved by our shareholders on February 4, 2015, and was scheduled to expire by its terms on September 14, 2020. The purpose of the 2020 Stock Plan is to continue to give our Board of Directors and its Compensation Committee the ability to offer a variety of compensatory awards designed to enhance the Company’s long-term success by encouraging stock ownership among its executives, key employees and directors. Under the 2020 Stock Plan, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has the authority to determine the employees and directors to whom awards may be granted, and the size and type of each award and manner in which such awards will vest. The awards available under the plan consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, stock performance units, and other stock and cash awards. While employed by the Company or serving as a director, unvested awards become fully vested under certain circumstances as defined in the 2020 Stock Plan. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, the participant’s death or disability. The Compensation Committee is authorized to establish the terms and conditions of awards granted under the 2020 Stock Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the 2020 Stock Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems necessary. Similar to the 2010 Stock Plan, the 2020 Stock Plan limits the number of shares that may be covered by awards to any participant in a given calendar year and also limits the aggregate awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance stock granted in a given calendar year. Shares are generally issued from treasury stock upon the vesting of the restricted stock units, performance units or other awards under the 2020 Stock Plan. On August 2, 2023, our Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of its Compensation Committee, approved a Declaration of Amendment to the 2020 Stock Plan. See Part II, Item 5 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Compensation expense is recorded within SG&A in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the vesting periods. During the June 2023 and June 2022 quarters, we recognized $0.6 million and $1.1 million in stock-based compensation expense, respectively. Associated with this compensation cost are income tax benefits recognized of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for each of the three-month periods ended June 2023 and June 2022. During the nine-months ended June 2023 and June 2022, we recognized $1.6 million and $2.4 million respectively, in stock-based compensation expense. Associated with the compensation cost are income tax benefits recognized of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for each of the nine-months periods ended June 2023 and June 2022.
During the December 2022 quarter, restricted stock units representing 105,000 shares of our common stock vested with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022 and were issued in accordance with their respective agreements. Of these vested awards, all were payable in common stock.
During the December 2022 quarter, performance stock units and restricted stock units representing 5,000 and 18,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, were forfeited.
As of June 2023, there was $2.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards granted under the 2020 Stock Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.4 years. |

| Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] |
Our operations are managed and reported in segments, Delta Group and Salt Life Group, which reflect the manner in which the business is managed, and results are reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker.
The Delta Group is comprised of the following business units, which are primarily focused on core activewear styles: DTG2Go and Delta Activewear.
DTG2Go is a market leader in the on-demand, direct-to-garment digital print and fulfillment industry, bringing technology and innovation to the supply chains of our many customers. Our ‘On-Demand DC’ digital solution provides retailers and brands with immediate access to utilize DTG2Go’s broad network of print and fulfillment facilities, while offering the scalability to integrate digital fulfillment within the customer's own distribution facilities. We use highly-automated factory processes and our proprietary software to deliver on-demand, digitally printed apparel direct to consumers on behalf of our customers. Via our multi-facility fulfillment footprint across the United States, DTG2Go offers a robust digital supply chain shipping custom graphic products within 24 to 48 hours to consumers in the United States and to over 100 countries internationally. DTG2Go has made significant investments in its “digital first” retail model providing digital graphic prints that meet the high-quality standards of brands, retailers and intellectual property holders. Through integration with Delta Activewear, DTG2Go also services the eRetailer, ad-specialty, promotional and screen print marketplaces, among others.
Delta Activewear is a preferred supplier of activewear apparel to regional and global brands as well as direct-to-retail and wholesale markets. The Activewear business is organized around three key customer channels – Delta Direct, Global Brands, and Retail Direct – that are distinct in their go-to-market strategies and how their respective customer bases source their various apparel needs. Our Delta Direct channel services the screen print, promotional, and eRetailer markets as well as retail licensing customers that sell through to many mid-tier and mass market retailers. Delta Direct products include a broad portfolio of apparel and accessories under the Delta, Delta Platinum, and Soffe brands as well as sourced items from select third party brands. Our fashion basics line includes our Platinum Collection, which offers fresh, fashionable silhouettes with a luxurious look and feel, as well as versatile fleece offerings. We offer innovative apparel products, including the Delta Dri line of performance shirts built with moisture-wicking material to keep athletes dry and comfortable; ringspun garments with superior comfort, style and durability; and Delta Soft, a collection with an incredible feel and price. We also offer our heritage, mid- and heavier-weight Delta Pro Weight® and Magnum Weight® tee shirts.
The iconic Soffe brand offers activewear for spirit makers and record breakers and is widely known for the original "cheer short" with the signature roll-down waistband. Soffe carries a wide range of activewear for the entire family. Soffe's heritage is anchored in the military, and we continue to be a proud supplier to both active duty and veteran United States military personnel worldwide. The Soffe men's assortment features the tagline "anchored in the military, grounded in training" and offers everything from physical training gear certified by the respective branches of the military, classic base layers that include the favored 3-pack tees, and the iconic "ranger panty." Complementing the Delta and Soffe brand apparel, we offer customers a broad range of nationally recognized branded products including polos, outerwear, headwear, bags and other accessories. Our Soffe products are also available direct to consumers at www.soffe.com.
Our Global Brands channel serves as a key supply chain partner to large multi-national brands, major branded sportswear companies, trendy regional brands, and all branches of the United States armed forces, providing services ranging from custom product development to the shipment of branded products with “retail-ready” value-added services including embellishment, hangtags, and ticketing.
Our Retail Direct channel serves brick and mortar and online retailers by providing our portfolio of Delta, Delta Platinum, and Soffe products directly to the retail locations and ecommerce fulfillment centers of a diversified customer base including sporting goods and outdoor retailers, specialty and resort shops, farm and fleet stores, department stores, and mid-tier and mass retailers. As a key element of the integrated Delta Group segment, each of Activewear’s primary channels offer a seamless solution for replenishment strategies, small-run decoration needs, and quick reaction programs with on-demand digital print services, powered by DTG2Go.
The Salt Life Group is comprised of our Salt Life business, which is built on the authentic, aspirational Salt Life lifestyle brand that represents a passion for the ocean, the salt air, and, more importantly, a way of life and all it offers, from surfing, fishing, and diving to beach fun and sun-soaked relaxation. The Salt Life brand combines function and fashion with a tailored fit for the active lifestyles of those that “live the Salt Life.” With increased worldwide appeal, Salt Life has continued to provide the cotton graphic tees and logo decals that originally drove awareness for the brand, and expanded into performance apparel, swimwear, board shorts, sunglasses, bags, and accessories. Consumers can also seamlessly experience the Salt Life brand through retail partners including surf shops, specialty stores, department stores, and outdoor merchants or by accessing our Salt Life ecommerce site at www.saltlife.com.
Our chief operating decision maker and management evaluate performance and allocate resources based on profit or loss from operations before interest, income taxes and special charges ("segment operating earnings"). Our segment operating earnings may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022, filed with the SEC. Intercompany transfers between operating segments are transacted at cost and have been eliminated within the segment amounts shown in the following table (in thousands).
The following table reconciles the segment operating (loss) earnings to the consolidated earnings before (benefit from) provision for income taxes (in thousands):

| Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] |
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 enacted on December 22, 2017, significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax code by, among other things, lowering federal corporate income tax rates, implementing a modified territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax ("transition tax") on deemed repatriated cumulative earnings of foreign subsidiaries which will be paid over eight years. In addition, new taxes were imposed related to foreign income, including a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as well as a limitation on the deduction for business interest expense (“Section 163(j)"). GILTI is the excess of the shareholder’s net controlled foreign corporations net tested income over the net deemed tangible income. GILTI income is eligible for a deduction of up to 50% of the income inclusion, but the deduction is limited to the amount of U.S. adjusted taxable income. The Section 163(j) limitation does not allow the amount of deductible interest to exceed the sum of the taxpayer's business interest income and 30% of the taxpayer’s adjusted taxable income. We have included in our calculation of our effective tax rate the estimated impact of GILTI and Section 163(j). In addition, we have elected to account for the tax on GILTI as a period cost and, therefore, do not record deferred taxes related to GILTI on our foreign subsidiaries.
Our effective income tax rate on operations for the nine-months ended June 2023 was 27.0% compared to a rate of 17.2% in the same period of the prior year, and an effective rate of 17.9% for fiscal 2022. We generally benefit from having income in foreign jurisdictions that are either exempt from income taxes or have tax rates that are lower than those in the United States. As such, changes in the mix of U.S. taxable income compared to profits in tax-free or lower-tax jurisdictions can have a significant impact on our overall effective tax rate. The current year tax expense decreased relative to prior periods due to US operating losses expected to generate a US tax benefit. |

| Derivatives and Fair Value [Text Block] |
Note L—Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements
From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps or other instruments to manage our interest rate exposure and reduce the impact of future interest rate changes. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. We have designated our interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges of our future interest payments. As a result, the gains and losses on the swap contracts are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and are reclassified into interest expense as the related interest payments are made. As of June 2023, all of our other comprehensive income was attributable to shareholders; none related to the non-controlling interest. Outstanding instruments as of June 2023 are as follows:
The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivatives related to our interest swap agreements as of June 2023 and September 2022 (in thousands):
From time to time, we may purchase cotton option contracts to economically hedge the risk related to market fluctuations in the cost of cotton used in our operations. We do not receive hedge accounting treatment for these derivatives. As such, the realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with them are recorded within cost of goods sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. No such cotton contracts were outstanding at June 2023 and September 2022.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped in three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:
The following financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the forward interest rate curves adjusted for our credit risk, which fall in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 2023 and September 2022, book value for fixed rate debt approximates fair value based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities (a Level 2 fair value measurement). |

Amortization expense for the nine-months ended June 2023 and June 2022 was $1.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
