UFP Technologies Announces Strong Q3 2025 Results

NEWBURYPORT, Mass., Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UFP Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPT), a contract development and manufacturing organization that specializes in single-use and single-patient medical devices, today reported net income of $16.4 million or $2.11 per diluted common share outstanding for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025, the same as in Q3 of 2024. Adjusted earnings per diluted share outstanding for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, was $2.39. Sales for the third quarter were $154.6 million compared to sales of $145.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, was $50.7 million or $6.52 per diluted common share outstanding compared to net income of $42.6 million or $5.49 per diluted common share outstanding for the same period in 2024. Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, were $453.9 million compared to sales of $360.4 million for the same period in 2024. Throughout this news release, reference is made to non-GAAP measures including organic sales growth, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted SG&A, adjusted net income and EPS, and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Information” at the end of this news release.

“I am pleased with our third quarter results and continued progress with our strategic initiatives,” said R. Jeffrey Bailly, Chairman and CEO. “Sales grew 6.5%, with a 7.3% increase in our MedTech sales offset by a 2.7% decline in our non-medical business. EPS was $2.11 per share, equal to last year. Strong operating results offset roughly $3 million in incremental labor costs at our Illinois AJR facility related to a post-acquisition review of our labor force’s eligibility to work under US laws. Absent this expense, EPS would have increased 13%. We expect the impact in Q4 will be significantly less as our new E-Verified employees continue to improve their efficiency.”

“We have made progress on several key initiatives, including the ramp-up and qualification of programs transferring to our new Santiago, Dominican Republic, facility,” Bailly continued. “The first program is now in commercial production, and the second is in its qualification phase. This facility now has over 300 employees. In addition, our two new large robotic surgery programs are launching and on track to be in commercial production by year-end; we expect each will generate significant revenue in 2026 and beyond. We are also in discussions to extend and expand our contract with our largest customer, with volumes expected to significantly increase over the added term of the contract.”

“Our two most recent acquisitions, UNIPEC in Rockland, Maryland, and TPI in Anasco, Puerto Rico, are both performing ahead of expectations, and their integrations are on track,” said Bailly. “Looking ahead, we will continue to execute on our expansion plans in both Santiago and La Romana, Dominican Republic, integrate our new acquisitions, and seek additional acquisitions that increase our value to customers. With the benefit of rapidly improving results in Illinois, the expected completion of our program transfers in the DR, increased revenue from major new program launches, and significant anticipated long-term growth in our robotic surgery platform, we remain very bullish about our future.”
