UFP Technologies Announces Q3 Results

 

Georgetown, Mass., November 4, 2014.  UFP Technologies, Inc.  (Nasdaq: UFPT), a manufacturer of packaging and component products, today reported net income of $2.1 million or $0.29 per diluted common share outstanding for its third quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to net income of $2.9 million or $0.41 per diluted common share outstanding for the same period in 2013. Sales for the third quarter were $35.4 million compared to third quarter 2013 sales of $34.7 million.  Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, was $6.0 million or $0.84 per diluted common share outstanding compared to $7.9 million or $1.11 per diluted common share outstanding for the same period of 2013.  Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, were $104.0 million, compared to sales of $104.2 million for the same period in 2013.

 

“We experienced modest sales growth in Q3, as continued strength in our medical market and an uptick in military orders helped offset a decline in our automotive market,” said R. Jeffrey Bailly, Chairman & CEO.  “As expected, our operating results were impacted by a number of important strategic initiatives designed to optimize our platform and position us for long-term growth.”

 

“We have made great progress on these initiatives, and put many of these one-time expenses behind us,” Bailly continued. “For example, our Midwest consolidation is complete and our California consolidation is well underway. In Texas, our new molded fiber operation is up and running, and we are now incorporating our local foam fabrication plant into that facility as well. In addition, two more plants recently came online with our new ERP system, which should enhance our business in a number of critical ways.”

 

“Our ability to execute all these initiatives at once is a testament to the strength and depth of our management team,” Bailly said. “As we continue to complete them in a timely manner, we expect improved results to follow.”
