FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UFP Technologies Announces Q3 Results

Georgetown, Mass., November 4, 2015.  UFP Technologies, Inc.  (Nasdaq: UFPT), a manufacturer of packaging and component products, today reported net income of $2.0 million or $0.28 per diluted common share outstanding for its third quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to net income of $2.1 million or $0.29 per diluted common share outstanding for the same period in 2014.  Sales for the third quarter were $34.4 million, 2.7% lower than third quarter sales of $35.4 million in 2014.  Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 was $5.9 million or $0.82 per diluted common share outstanding compared to $6.0 million or $0.84 per diluted common share outstanding for the same 2014 period.  Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 were $104.9 million compared to sales of $104.0 million for the same period in 2014.

“I am pleased with our continued progress,” said R. Jeffrey Bailly, Chairman & CEO.  “Despite a small drop in sales, operating income before restructuring charges increased slightly.  This is due in part to several major initiatives we’ve completed in recent years to improve operating efficiency.  Two more — a Northeast plant consolidation and the final phase of our ERP system implementation — should be complete within six months.  We expect the Northeast consolidation will yield $1 million in savings annually.”

“We are very excited about completing the last of these multi-year initiatives,” Bailly added.  “Putting them behind us will not only leave us with a much more efficient operation, but also free up key resources to once again focus on growing our business and further strengthening our platform.  We expect this will have a significant impact on our growth prospects and ability to compete.”

“In other news, we continue to experience strong growth in the medical market,” Bailly said.  “We have secured or are finalizing several new long-term contracts, including a five-year deal worth an estimated $45 million that would more than double annual revenue with a key customer.  In addition, we are seeing more acquisition activity.  Although we did end one recent negotiation in its final stages due to concerns raised by our due diligence process, we will continue to pursue opportunities that can enhance our value to customers and shareholders.  For all the reasons described here, we believe UFP is stronger than ever and poised to grow in 2016 and beyond.”
