UFP Technologies Announces Q1 Results

Georgetown, Mass., May 6, 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2014, consistent with net income of $2.0 million or $0.29 per diluted common share outstanding for the same period in 2013. Sales for the first quarter were $34.6 million, 2.7% higher than first quarter 2013 sales of $33.7 million.

2014 started off with modest sales growth, as strong orders in the automotive market were offset by soft demand from our military customers, said R. Jeffrey Bailly, Chairman and CEO. However, operating income for the quarter grew 8%, and I am very pleased with our progress on a number of operational initiatives.

For example, our Midwest consolidation is underway and we have begun transferring business to our Grand Rapids facility, which is designed with a more efficient layout and expanded clean room manufacturing space, Bailly said. In Texas, we are in the process of investing $3 million to purchase a 128,000-square-foot facility that will combine our existing El Paso foam fabricating operations with two new molded fiber production lines. We are also looking into the possibility of combining our two California facilities at the end of the year.

In addition, we continue to add new talent and focus on driving innovation and sharing best practices throughout our organization. All these initiatives are designed to improve our long-term profitability by increasing our efficiency and the value we bring to customers, Bailly added. Looking ahead, while we expect near term market conditions to remain soft, we will continue to invest in growing our best-fit market opportunities, optimizing our business platform, and exploring strategic acquisitions.
