UFP Technologies Announces Record 2025 Results

NEWBURYPORT, Mass., Feb. 24, 2026 (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 2025 net income of $68.3 million, 15.8% higher than net income of $59.0 million for 2024. Adjusted net income grew 12.7% to $76.1 million. Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $602.8 million, 19.5% higher than 2024 sales of $504.4 million. GAAP and adjusted earnings per diluted common share outstanding (“EPS”) for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $8.75 and $9.76, respectively.

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 2025 results and our progress on a number of key strategic initiatives,” said R. Jeffrey Bailly, CEO. “Sales for the year grew 19.5% to $602.8 million, operating income grew 14.1% to $92.3 million, and EPS grew 15.4% to $8.75. Our growth was driven by a 23.2% increase in medical sales, partially offset by an 11.5% decrease in non-medical sales.”

“We achieved the 14.1% earnings growth despite absorbing approximately $6.3 million in labor-related inefficiencies at our AJR facility in Illinois,” Bailly said. “These were due to the previously disclosed attrition in our workforce based on associates’ eligibility to work in the United States. Of note, the impact in Q4 dropped to $1.2 million, less than half of the $3.0 million impact in Q3. We expect to make continued progress until the issue is resolved.”

“We also made significant progress expanding our businesses in the Dominican Republic,” Bailly said. “In La Romana, we extended our contract with our largest customer through 2029, increasing volumes on current programs and adding a new program. We also launched three new programs, and after taking possession of a fifth building in 2025, we will soon add a sixth facility to accommodate anticipated growth. In Santiago, we successfully launched our second transfer program and plan to add a new facility in Q2 2026, which will allow us to localize and ramp up a third major program in the Safe Patient Handling space. This market opportunity is substantial, with significant growth anticipated again in 2026.”

“The four acquisitions we completed in 2024 and three we completed in 2025 are all progressing well with integrations either well underway or complete,” said Bailly. “With new talent in place across the Company, new programs recently launched, new contract extensions with several major customers, and a robust pipeline, we remain bullish about our future.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This news release includes non-generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) performance measures. Management considers organic sales growth, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measures. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management’s financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of the Company’s historical operating results. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance and are similar to measures reported by publicly listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors, and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. By providing these non-GAAP measures, the Company’s management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company’s performance for the periods presented. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures of performance used by other companies in other industries or within the same industry.
