Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)                   Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of UFP Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) presented herein, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine- month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The results of operations for the three and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

Revisions

Certain revisions have been made to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2014 to conform to the current year presentation. These revisions relate to the classification of certain rent and indirect labor items.  The impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 was a decrease to costs of sales and an increase to selling, general and administrative expenses in the amount of approximately $69,000. The impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine- month period ended September 30, 2014 was a decrease to costs of sales and an increase to selling, general and administrative expenses in the amount of approximately $206,000. These revisions had no impact on previously reported operating income, net income or cash flows and are deemed immaterial to the previously issued financial statements.

Treasury Stock

The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method, using the first-in, first out flow assumption, and we include treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity.  On June 16, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through Rule 10b5-1 plans, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The stock repurchase program will end upon the earlier of the date on which the plan is terminated by the Board or when all authorized repurchases are completed. The timing and amount of stock repurchases, if any, will be determined based upon our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the program. Through September 30, 2015, the Company had repurchased a total of 29,559 shares of its common stock under this program.

(2)                   Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Cash paid for interest and income taxes is as follows (in thousands):

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company permitted the exercise of stock options with exercise proceeds paid with the Company’s stock (“cashless” exercises) totaling approximately $36,000 and $372,000, respectively.

(3)                   Fair Value Accounting

The Company has financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, which are stated at carrying amounts that approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.  The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the debt approximates the estimated borrowing rate currently available to the Company.

(4)                   Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company issues share-based awards through several plans that are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.  The compensation cost charged against income for those plans is included in selling, general & administrative expenses as follows (in thousands):

Share-based compensation for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 includes $0 and $5,000, respectively, representing the fair value of the Company’s common stock granted during the periods to the Board of Directors.  Share-based compensation for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 includes $105,000 and $127,000, respectively, representing the fair value of the Company’s common stock granted during the periods to the Board of Directors.

The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income for share-based compensation arrangements was approximately $63,000 and $60,000, respectively, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and $256,000 and $276,000, respectively, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Table of Contents

The following is a summary of stock option activity under all plans for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015:

On June 10, 2015, the Company granted options to its directors for the purchase of 17,526 shares of common stock at that day’s closing price of $19.97.  The compensation expense related to these grants was determined as the fair value of the options using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:

The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on a review of the experience of the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the expected option term, and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine- month period ended September 30, 2015 was $5.99.

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the total intrinsic value of all options exercised (i.e., the difference between the market price on the exercise date and the price paid by the employees to exercise the options) was approximately $989,000 and $3.4 million, respectively, and the total amount of consideration received by the Company from the exercised options was approximately $258,000 and $709,000, respectively.  At its discretion, the Company allows option holders to surrender previously owned common stock in lieu of paying the exercise price and withholding taxes. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2015, there were 1,632 shares surrendered at an average market price of $21.97. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2014, 32,164 shares were surrendered at an average market price of $25.42.

During each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized compensation expense related to stock options granted to directors and employees of approximately $44,000.  During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized compensation expenses related to stock options granted to directors and employees of approximately $237,000 and $310,000, respectively.

On February 24, 2015, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the award of $400,000, payable in shares of common stock to the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President under the 2003 Incentive Plan.  The shares will be issued on or before December 31, 2015.  The Company recorded compensation expense associated with the award of $100,000 and $300,000, respectively, during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015.   The Company recorded compensation expense associated with a similar award of $100,000 and $300,000, respectively, during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes information about Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) activity during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015:

During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded compensation expense related to RSUs of approximately $82,000 and $231,000, respectively.  The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $71,000 and $207,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2014.

At the Company’s discretion, RSU holders are given the option to net-share settle to cover the required minimum withholding tax, and the remaining amount is converted into the equivalent number of common shares.  During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, 3,405 and 9,878 shares were surrendered at an average market price of $23.15 and $25.88, respectively.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 3.5 years.

(5)                   Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, and consist of the following at the stated dates (in thousands):

(6)                   Preferred Stock

On March 18, 2009, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to the stockholders of record on March 20, 2009.  Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Share”) of the Company, at a price of $25 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share subject to adjustment and the terms of the Rights Agreement.  The Rights expire on March 19, 2019.

(7)                   Income Per Share

Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Diluted income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during each period.

9

Table of Contents

The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted net income per share consisted of the following (in thousands):

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock options, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related options during the period. These outstanding stock awards are not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the effect would be antidilutive.  For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share was 65,193 and 82,719, respectively. For both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share was 53,651.

(8)                   Segment Reporting

The Company consists of a single operating and reportable segment.

Revenues from customers outside of the United States are not material.  No customer comprised more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015.  All of the Company’s assets are located in the United States.

The Company’s products are primarily sold to customers within the Medical, Automotive, Consumer, Aerospace and Defense, Electronics and Industrial markets.  Net sales by market for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $79,000 and $81,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $238,000 and $313,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The estimated remaining amortization expense as of September 30, 2015 is as follows (in thousands):

(10)     Income Taxes

The income tax expense included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of income principally relates to the Company’s proportionate share of the pre-tax income of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The determination of income tax expense for interim reporting purposes is based upon the estimated effective tax rate for the year, adjusted for the impact of any discrete items which are accounted for in the period in which they occur.

The Company recorded tax expense of approximately 35% of income before income tax expense for each of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

(11)     Plant Consolidations

Restructuring Costs

On March 18, 2015, the Company committed to move forward with a plan to cease operations at its Raritan, New Jersey, plant and consolidate operations into its Newburyport, Massachusetts, facility and other UFP facilities. The Company’s decision was in response to a continued decline in business at the Raritan facility and the recent purchase of the 137,000-square-foot facility in Newburyport. The Company expects the activities related to this consolidation to be completed on or before December 31, 2015.

The Company will also be relocating all operations in its Haverhill, Massachusetts, and Byfield, Massachusetts facilities and certain operations in its Georgetown, Massachusetts facility to Newburyport.  The Company expects the Haverhill and Byfield relocations to be complete by December 31, 2015 and the Georgetown relocation to be complete by March 31, 2016.

The Company expects to incur approximately $2.1 million in one-time expenses in connection with these consolidations. Included in this amount are approximately $200,000 of accrued expenses the Company expects to incur relating to employee severance payments and relocation costs, approximately $1.5 million in moving expenses and expenses associated with vacating the Raritan, Haverhill and Byfield properties, and approximately $360,000 in accrued lease termination costs. Total cash charges are estimated at $2.0 million. The Company expects annual cost savings of approximately $1.0 million as a result of these consolidations.

Overview

UFP Technologies is an innovative designer and custom converter of foams, plastics and natural fiber products, principally serving the medical, automotive, consumer, electronics, industrial and aerospace and defense markets. The Company consists of a single operating and reportable segment.

The Company continues to see strong demand for product from customers in the medical market.  Consolidations in this market are driving demand for long-term contractual commitments in exchange for reduced or level pricing. For example, the Company has secured or is finalizing several new long-term contracts, including a five-year deal worth an estimated $45 million that will more than double annual revenue with a key customer.

13

Table of Contents

The Company expects to incur a total of approximately $2.1 million in restructuring costs associated with consolidating operations in the Northeast, of which approximately $875,000 has been incurred through September 30, 2015.  As a result of these consolidations, it anticipates annual cost savings, primarily in reduced real estate and labor costs, of approximately $1 million.

The Company’s current strategy includes organic growth and growth through strategic acquisitions.

Results of Operations

Sales

Sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, decreased approximately 2.7% to $34.4 million from sales of $35.4 million for the same period in 2014.  Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, increased approximately 0.8% to $104.9 million from sales of $104.0 million for the same period in 2014.  The decrease in sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, was primarily attributable to a collective reduction in sales to the electronics, industrial and aerospace and defense markets of approximately $2.4 million, partially offset by an increase in sales to the medical market of approximately $1.3 million.  The decline in sales to the aerospace and defense market is largely due to a large, low margin order received in the third quarter of 2014. The increase in sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, was primarily attributable to increased sales to the medical and automotive markets of approximately 13% and 4%, respectively.  These increases more than offset softness in sales to the electronics, industrial and consumer markets.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of sales (“gross margin”) increased slightly to 27.6% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, from 27.5% for the same period in 2014.  As a percentage of sales, material and labor costs collectively decreased 0.9%, while overhead increased 0.8%.  The decrease in collective material and labor costs as a percentage of sales is primarily due to a favorable mix of business as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in overhead as a percentage of sales is primarily due to fixed overhead costs measured against decreased sales.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 27.1% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, from 27.4% in the same period of 2014.  As a percentage of sales, material and labor costs collectively increased 0.5%, while overhead decreased 0.2%.  The increase in collective material and labor costs as a percentage of sales is primarily due to a decrease in sales of lower material content molded fiber packaging product. The decrease in overhead as a percentage of sales is primarily due to lower overhead costs resulting from consolidation efforts taken in 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased approximately 5.7% to $5.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, from $5.9 million for the same period in 2014.  SG&A remained consistent at $18.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.  The decrease in SG&A for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, is primarily due to lower salaries, benefits and commissions expense resulting largely from recent plant consolidations.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased to 16.3% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, from 16.8% for the same three-month period in 2014.  The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 is primarily due to lower salaries, benefits and commissions expense resulting largely from recent plant consolidations.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A slightly decreased to 17.5% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, from 17.7% for the same nine-month period in 2014.

Restructuring Costs

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred restructuring costs of approximately $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the same periods in 2014.

Table of Contents

Additional information regarding restructuring costs can be found in Note 11 of the Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Income and Expense

The Company had net interest income of approximately $9,000 and net interest expense of approximately $7,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to net interest expense of approximately $20,000 and $69,000, respectively, in the same periods of 2014.  The decrease in net interest expense is due to an increase in interest earned on money market accounts and certificates of deposit.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 35.0% for each of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company has deferred tax assets on its books associated with net operating losses generated in previous years. The Company has considered both positive and negative available evidence in its determination that the deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, and has not recorded a tax valuation allowance at September 30, 2015. The Company will continue to assess whether the deferred tax assets will be realizable and, when appropriate, will record a valuation allowance against these assets. The amount of the net deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company generally funds its operating expenses, capital requirements, and growth plan through internally generated cash and bank credit facilities.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, was approximately $9.2 million and was primarily a result of net income generated of $5.9 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $3.5 million, share-based compensation of $0.9 million, an increase in accrued expenses of approximately $1.2 million primarily related to the timing of accrued payroll and medical claims, and a decrease in refundable income taxes of approximately $2.5 million. These cash inflows and adjustments were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $2.8 million due to strong September sales, an increase in net inventory of approximately $0.6 million, an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $0.7 million due to upfront insurance premium payments and a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $0.7 million due to the timing of vendor payments in the ordinary course of business.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $13.0 million and was primarily the result of additions of manufacturing machinery and equipment and the purchase of a new manufacturing and headquarters building in Massachusetts.

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $1.0 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, representing cash used to service term debt of approximately $0.7 million, repurchases of common stock of approximately $0.6 million and cash used to pay statutory withholding for stock options exercised and restricted stock units vested of approximately $0.1 million, partially offset by excess tax benefits on share-based compensation of approximately $0.2 million and net proceeds received upon stock option exercises of approximately $0.2 million.

Outstanding and Available Debt

The Company maintains an unsecured $40 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. The credit facility calls for interest of LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.0% to 1.5% or, at the discretion of the Company, the bank’s prime rate less a margin that ranges from 0.25% to zero. In both cases the applicable margin is dependent upon Company performance. Under the credit facility, the Company is subject to a minimum fixed-charge coverage financial covenant as well as a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA financial covenant. The Company’s $40 million credit facility matures on November 30, 2018.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility and the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility.

15

Table of Contents

In 2012, the Company financed the purchase of two molded fiber machines through five-year term loans that mature in September 2017.  The annual interest rate is fixed at 1.83% and the loans are secured by the related molded fiber machines.  As of September 30, 2015, the outstanding balance of the term loan facility was approximately $2.1 million.

Future Liquidity

The Company requires cash to pay its operating expenses, purchase capital equipment, and to service its contractual obligations.  The Company’s principal sources of funds are its operations and its revolving credit facility.  The Company generated cash of approximately $9.2 million from operations during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, and cannot guarantee that its operations will generate cash in future periods.  The Company’s longer-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance.

On March 18, 2015, the Company committed to move forward with a plan to cease operations at its Raritan, New Jersey, plant and consolidate operations into its Newburyport, Massachusetts, facility and other UFP facilities. The Company’s decision was in response to a continued decline in business at the Raritan facility and the recent purchase of the 137,000-square-foot facility in Newburyport. The Company expects the activities related to this consolidation to be completed on or before December 31, 2015. The Company will also be relocating all operations in its Haverhill, Massachusetts, and Byfield, Massachusetts facilities and certain operations in its Georgetown, Massachusetts facility to Newburyport.  The Company expects the Haverhill and Byfield relocations to be complete by December 31, 2015 and the Georgetown relocation to be complete by March 31, 2016.

The Company expects to incur approximately $2.1 million in one-time expenses in connection with these consolidations. Included in this amount are approximately $200,000 of accrued expenses the Company expects to incur relating to employee severance payments and relocation costs, approximately $1.5 million in moving expenses and expenses associated with vacating the Raritan, Haverhill and Byfield properties, and approximately $360,000 in accrued lease termination costs. Total cash charges are estimated at $2.0 million. The Company expects annual cost savings of approximately $1.0 million as a result of these consolidations.

Throughout fiscal 2015, the Company plans to continue to add capacity to enhance operating efficiencies in its manufacturing plants.  The Company may consider additional acquisitions of companies, technologies, or products that are complementary to its business.  The Company believes that its existing resources, including its revolving credit facility, together with cash expected to be generated from operations and funds expected to be available to it through any necessary equipment financings and additional bank borrowings, will be sufficient to fund its cash flow requirements, including capital asset acquisitions, through the next twelve months.

Stock Repurchase Program

On June 16, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through Rule 10b5-1 plans, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The stock repurchase program will end upon the earlier of the date on which the plan is terminated by the Board or when all authorized repurchases are completed. The timing and amount of stock repurchases, if any, will be determined based upon our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the program. Through September 30, 2015, the Company had repurchased a total of 29,559 shares of its common stock under this program.
