UFP Technologies Announces Strong Q1 Results
Georgetown, Mass., May 5, 2010. UFP Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPT), a manufacturer of packaging and component products, today reported net income of $1.5 million or $0.23 per diluted common share outstanding for its first quarter ended March 31, 2010, approximately four times higher than net income of $345,000 or $0.06 per diluted common share outstanding for the same period in 2009. Sales for the quarter were $28.7 million or 33% higher than 2009 first quarter sales of $21.6 million.
“I am very pleased with our solid start to 2010, which represents our strongest first quarter on record” said R. Jeffrey Bailly, Chairman & CEO of UFP Technologies. “We enjoyed a significant increase in our bottom line, fueled by a 33% increase in revenue overlaid on a streamlined organization. The sales increase was driven by added revenue from our three 2009 acquisitions, which are primarily focused on the medical market, and a strong rise in demand from our automotive customers.”
“In these uncertain economic times, our market diversity remains a key strategic advantage, as we can shift our engineering and product development resources to markets with the strongest growth opportunities,” Bailly continued. “We will continue our efforts to grow both internally and through strategic acquisitions as we work to continuously improve the efficiency of our operations.”
UFP Technologies is a leading designer and manufacturer of interior protective packaging solutions using molded fiber, vacuum-formed plastics, and molded and fabricated foam plastics. The Company also designs and manufactures engineered component solutions using laminating, molding, and fabricating technologies.
