EXHIBIT 99.1
UFP Technologies Announces Record Q1 2023 Results
NEWBURYPORT, Mass., May 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UFP Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPT), a designer and custom manufacturer of comprehensive solutions primarily for the medical market, today reported net income of $9.7 million or $1.27 per diluted common share outstanding for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to net income of $4.9 million or $0.64 per diluted common share outstanding for the first quarter of 2022. Net Sales for the first quarter were $97.8 million compared to 2022 first quarter sales of $71.2 million.
“I am extremely pleased with our Q1 results, as sales grew 37.2% and EPS nearly doubled,” said R. Jeffrey Bailly, Chairman & CEO. “Our MedTech business once again led the way. It grew 59.5% in Q1, driven by 112% growth in robotic surgery. With our powerful combination of precision molded components, great supply chain partners, and highly efficient low-cost manufacturing in the Dominican Republic, we are increasing our customer value and market share in this fast-growing segment. Other markets, including interventional and surgical, orthopedic, and infection prevention, are also growing rapidly as elective procedures continue to rebound.”
“The improvement in our bottom-line results, driven by a 530-basis-point increase in gross margins to 29.4% from 24.1% in Q1 2022, was even more substantial,” Bailly said. “Many key challenges of 2022, including the limited availability and high cost of raw materials and direct labor, and the integration of three acquisitions and a greenfield plant start-up, have become less pressing. We are also benefitting from improved operating efficiency and price adjustments that followed our raw material and labor cost increases. All of these factors are helping us to realize higher margins.”
“It is also important to note we achieved these results after absorbing a $2.85 million charge for increased contingent consideration related to our DAS acquisition,” Bailly said. “This reflects the growing likelihood their outstanding performance will earn them their final contingent payments. Absent that charge, operating income increased 147%. Looking ahead, I believe our recent investments will continue to bring additional synergies and increase the value we can deliver to customers. This, combined with our strong balance sheet and exciting pipeline of new internal and external growth opportunities, positions us well to continue growing our business and leaves us very bullish about our future.”

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company’s future financial or operating performance and may be identified by words such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” or similar words. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company’s future financial or operating performance; the continuing operation of the Company’s locations, the maintenance of its facilities and the sufficiency of the Company’s supply chain, inventory, liquidity and capital resources, including increased costs in connection with such efforts; statements about the Company’s acquisition strategies and opportunities and the Company’s growth potential and strategies for growth; statements about the integration and performance of recent acquisitions; statements about the Company’s ability to realize the benefits expected from our recently completed acquisitions, including any related synergies; expectations regarding customer demand; and any indication that the Company may be able to sustain or increase its sales, earnings or earnings per share, or its sales, earnings or earnings per share growth rates. Such forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions made by the Company as of the date hereof and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: the Company's general ability to execute its business plans; industry conditions, including fluctuations in supply, demand and prices for the Company's products and services due to inflation, the war in Ukraine, or otherwise; risks relating to the Company’s ability to achieve anticipated benefits of acquisitions and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any such statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This news release includes non-generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) performance measures. Management considers Adjusted Operating 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 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.
