FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

UFP Technologies Announces Q2 Results

 

Georgetown, Mass., August 4, 2015.  UFP Technologies, Inc.  (Nasdaq: UFPT), a manufacturer of packaging and component products, today reported net income of $2.3 million or $0.32 per diluted common share outstanding for its second quarter ended June 30, 2015, 22% greater than net income of $1.9 million or $0.26 per diluted common share outstanding for the same period in 2014. Sales for the second quarter were $36.5 million, 7.3% higher than second quarter sales of $34.0 million in 2014.  Net income for both the six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, was $3.9 million or $0.55 per diluted common share outstanding.  Sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, were $70.5 million, compared to sales of $68.6 million for the same period in 2014.

 

“I am pleased with our second quarter results,” said R. Jeffrey Bailly, Chairman & CEO.  “Operating profits grew more than 16% and revenue increased 7.3%, fueled by double-digit sales growth in our medical, automotive, and aerospace & defense markets.”

 

“We also continue to make significant progress on our two remaining platform-strengthening initiatives,” Bailly added.  “Work to consolidate our Northeast operations into our recently acquired Massachusetts facility is well underway. And our new ERP system implementation is nearly complete; the final two factories will be online by year-end. With the efficiency improvements expected from these initiatives, combined with our growing pipeline of new opportunities, I am very bullish about our future. I believe the company will be extremely well positioned to succeed in the years ahead.”
