UFP Technologies Announces Q3 Results; Net Income Doubles

 

Georgetown, Mass., November 7, 2007.  UFP Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPT), a manufacturer of packaging and component products, today reported net income of $883,000 or $0.15 per diluted common share outstanding for its third quarter ended September 30, 2007, more than double the Company’s net income of $396,000 or $0.07 per diluted common share outstanding for the third quarter of 2006.  Sales for the quarter were $22.9 million or 5.5% higher than 2006 third quarter sales of $21.7 million.  For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported a profit of $2.4 million or $0.41 per diluted common share outstanding, compared to $1.7 million or $0.31 per diluted common share outstanding in the same period last year.  Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 were $68.1 million compared to 2006 sales of $70.4 million for the same period.

 

I am very pleased with our third quarter progress,” said R. Jeffrey Bailly, Chairman, CEO, and President.  “Our key strategic initiatives are paying dividends. These include a highly targeted sales and marketing effort designed to improve the quality of our book of business, plus ongoing efforts to reduce costs and increase manufacturing efficiencies.  Together, these have led to strong improvement in our gross margins, and helped our net income more than double in the third quarter.”

 

“With over $5.5 million in cash and declining debt, our balance sheet continued to strengthen during the quarter,” Bailly continued.  “This gives us a solid platform to grow through acquisition, invest in new technologies, and develop new products. All these factors make us very optimistic about the future of UFP Technologies.”
