FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UFP Technologies Announces Record 2013 Results

Georgetown, Mass., February 27, 2014.  UFP Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPT), a manufacturer of packaging and component products, today reported net income of $11.3 million or $1.59 per diluted common share outstanding for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, 3.5% higher than net income of $10.9 million or $1.55 per diluted common share outstanding for its 2012 fiscal year.  Sales for 2013 were $139.2 million, 6.3% higher than 2012 sales of $131.0 million.

For its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company reported net income of $3.4 million or $0.47 per diluted common share outstanding, 5.4% more than net income of $3.2 million or $0.45 per diluted common share outstanding in the same period of 2012.  Sales for the fourth quarter 2013 were $35.0 million versus 2012 fourth quarter sales of $33.4 million.

“I am pleased with our 2013 results,” said R. Jeffrey Bailly, Chairman and CEO. “This was our eighth consecutive year of record earnings and fourth straight year of record sales.  We are still experiencing strong demand for our medical products. We have also seen a modest rebound in military demand, although sales remain below historical levels. In the automotive market, we continue to manage legacy program attrition but still expect modest net growth in 2014.”

“Overall, market conditions remain soft, so we will keep strengthening our platform to improve our competitiveness and increase our value to customers,” Bailly continued. “For example, to better serve our southwestern customers and counter new molded fiber competitors in the region, we will expand our El Paso operations and add two new molded fiber lines in 2014. This new state-of-the-art equipment, similar to that installed in our Iowa facility in 2013, should improve efficiency and reduce freight costs for product we currently ship from Iowa.”

“We also plan to consolidate our Glendale Heights, Illinois, facility into our Grand Rapids, Michigan, facility when the lease ends in July. This decision was driven by a steep rent increase and declining sales at our Illinois facility, and the large savings projected by combining the two facilities. We own our 250,000-square-foot Grand Rapids facility, and it has the space and personnel to absorb our Illinois business. This move also furthers our larger goal of improving efficiency by maintaining fewer, larger plants. The Illinois team has performed admirably; we will work hard to retain as many of those associates as possible, and provide severance benefits for those who do not relocate.”
