NEWBURYPORT, Mass., Aug. 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UFP Technologies, Inc.  (Nasdaq:UFPT), an innovative designer and custom converter of foams, plastics, and natural fiber materials, today reported net income of $2.6 million or $0.36 per diluted common share outstanding for its second quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to net income of $2.7 million or $0.38 per diluted common share outstanding for the same period in 2016.  Sales for the second quarter were $37.9 million, consistent with second quarter sales of $37.9 million in 2016.  Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, was $4.8 million or $0.66 per diluted common share outstanding compared to $3.8 million or $0.53 per diluted common share outstanding for the same period in 2016.  Sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, were $74.9 million compared to sales of $72.4 million for the same period in 2016.

“I am pleased with our second quarter results and our progress at the mid-point of 2017,” said R. Jeffrey Bailly, Chairman and CEO. “Although Q2 revenue was impacted by a significant drop in automotive demand, our medical sales continue to grow at double-digit rates. Overall, sales for the year are up 3.5% and net income is up 26%.”

“We continue to shift our business mix toward higher-margin opportunities, and continue to make progress improving our operating efficiency, particularly at plants affected by our recent consolidations,” Bailly added. “Both are having a positive impact on gross margins.” 

“We also have a very strong pipeline of growth opportunities, including a series of potential acquisitions that we are currently evaluating. We are targeting medically-focused companies that we believe will increase the value we bring to customers,” said Bailly. “With our strong balance sheet, enhanced management team, improving operating efficiency, and robust growth opportunities, we are bullish about our future.”
