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, 2022, included in the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements.
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-month period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no newly issued accounting pronouncements that the Company expects to have a material effect on the financial statements.

In addition, future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in such pro forma information.
| (3) | Revenue Recognition |
The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of a promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the core principles of ASC 606 which include (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying separate performance obligations within the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue. The Company recognizes all but an immaterial portion of its product sales upon shipment. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of tooling and machinery upon customer acceptance. The Company recognizes revenue from engineering services, which are primarily product development services, as the services are performed or as otherwise determined based on the substance of the agreement. The Company recognizes revenue from bill and hold transactions at the time the specified goods are complete and available to the customer. In the ordinary course of business, the Company accepts sales returns from customers for defective goods, such amounts being immaterial. Although only applicable to an insignificant number of transactions, the Company has elected to exclude sales taxes from the transaction price. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities for which the Company is responsible under the terms and conditions of the sale not as performance obligations but rather as fulfillment costs. These activities are required to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the good and are expensed when revenue is recognized.
Disaggregated Revenue
The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by the major types of goods and services sold to the Company’s customers (in thousands):

| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||
| Accounts receivable–trade | $ | $ | ||||||
| Less allowance for credit losses | ( | ) | ( | ) | ||||
| Receivables, net | $ | $ | ||||||
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. Estimates based on an assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current, and future information that is reasonably available are used to determine the allowance.
The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

| Allowance - end of period | $ | $ | ||||||
| (6) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Financial instruments recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, or disclosed at fair value in the footnotes, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:
Level 1
Valued based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2
Valued based on either directly or indirectly observable prices for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3
Valued based on management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy levels, for financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
| March 31, | December 31, 2022 | |||||||
| Level 3 | ||||||||
| Purchase price contingent consideration (Note 2): | ||||||||
| Accrued contingent consideration (earn-out) | $ | $ | ||||||
| Present value of non-competition payments | ||||||||
In connection with the acquisitions of Contech Medical and DAS Medical in 2021, the Company is required to make contingent payments, subject to the entities achieving certain financial performance thresholds. The contingent consideration payments for the 2021 acquisitions combined are up to $
Also in connection with the DAS Medical acquisition, the Company has entered into Non-Competition Agreements with the beneficiaries and the Company has agreed to pay additional consideration to the parties to the Non-Competition Agreements, including an aggregate of $
The Company has financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, that 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.
| (7) | 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, 2022. The compensation cost charged against income for those plans is included in selling, general & administrative expenses as follows (in thousands):

| Restricted Stock Unit Awards ("RSUs") | ||||||||
| Total share-based compensation | $ | $ | ||||||
The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for share-based compensa‐tion arrangements was approximately $
Common stock grants
The compensation expense for common stock granted during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, was determined based on the market price of the shares on the date of grant.
Stock Option grants

At the Company’s discretion, upon vesting, 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 and issued to the RSU holder. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022,
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $

| (10) | Leases |
The Company has operating and finance leases for offices, manufacturing plants, vehicles and certain office and manufacturing equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company accounts for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the right of use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities. These are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and operating and finance lease liabilities are stated separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments pursuant to the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company's assumed lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. ROU assets are also adjusted for any deferred or accrued rent. As the Company's leases do not typically provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
ROU assets and lease liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):
| March 31, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||

| (11) | 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.
The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted net income per share consisted of the following (in thousands):

| Basic weighted average common shares outstanding | ||||||||
| Weighted average common equivalent shares due to restricted stock, stock options and RSUs | ||||||||
| Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding | ||||||||
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.

Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, or “the Company” refer to UFP Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
UFP Technologies is a designer and custom manufacturer of comprehensive solutions for medical devices, sterile packaging, and other highly engineered custom products. UFP is an important link in the medical device supply chain and a valued outsource partner to many of the top medical device manufacturers in the world. The Company’s single-use and single-patient devices and components are used in a wide range of medical devices and packaging for minimally invasive surgery, infection prevention, wound care, wearables, orthopedic soft goods, and orthopedic implants.
The Company’s current strategy includes further organic growth and growth through strategic acquisitions.
Sales for the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 increased 37.2% to $97.8 million from $71.2 million in the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in organic sales of approximately 35.8%. The organic sales increase was primarily due to organic growth in the medical market of 48.1%. Gross profit as a percentage of sales (“gross margin”) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 increased to 29.4% from 24.1% in the same period last year, largely due to improved operating efficiencies and price adjustments in response to inflationary increases in input costs. Operating income and net income increased 101.9% and 100.5%, respectively.
Results of Operations
Sales
Sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 increased approximately 37.2% to $97.8 million from sales of $71.2 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in sales is primarily due to increases in sales to customers in the Medical markets of 59.5%, including $6.0 million of sales from Advant Medical which was acquired on March 16, 2022. Sales to all other markets declined 25.4%, primarily due to the Company’s disposition of its molded fiber business in July, 2022 (see “Note 2. Acquisition and Divestiture” in the notes to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements).
Gross Profit
Gross margin increased to 29.4% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, from 24.1% for the same period in 2022. As a percentage of sales, material and labor costs collectively increased 0.9% while overhead costs decreased 6.2%. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to the leverage of organic sales growth over the fixed portion of overhead, as well as improved operating efficiencies and price adjustments in response to inflationary increases in input costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased approximately 29.9% to $13.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, from $10.0 million for the same period in 2022 largely due to increased compensation, benefits and payroll tax expenses and the additional SG&A expenses from the Advant acquisition. As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased to 13.3% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, from 14.1% for the same three-month period in 2022, primarily due to the leverage of organic sales growth over relatively fixed SG&A.
Change in fair value of contingent consideration
In connection with the acquisitions of Contech Medical and DAS Medical in 2021, the Company is required to make contingent payments, subject to the entities achieving certain financial performance thresholds. The potential contingent consideration payments for both the DAS Medical and Contech Medical acquisitions combined are $25 million, of which $20 million remains to potentially be paid as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration payments recognized upon the acquisition as part of the purchase accounting opening balance sheets totaled approximately $9.7 million and was estimated by discounting to present value the probability-weighted contingent payments expected to be made. Assumptions used in this calculation were managements financial forecasts, discount rate and various volatility factors. The ultimate settlement of contingent consideration could deviate from current estimates based on the actual results of these financial measures. This liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial liability that is re-measured each reporting period. The fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration payments recognized at March 31, 2023 totaled approximately $17.4 million. The change in fair value of contingent consideration for the DAS Medical acquisition for the three-months ended March 31, 2023, resulted in an expense of approximately $2.9 million, and was included in change in fair value of contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company paid $5 million during the fourth quarter of 2022 to fully satisfy the contingent consideration for the Contech Medical acquisition.
Interest expense, net
Net interest expense was approximately $869 thousand and $327 thousand for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was primarily due to borrowings to fund the Company’s recent acquisitions.
Other expense (income)
Other expense was approximately $77 thousand and other income was approximately $52 thousand for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in other expense was primarily generated by foreign currency transaction losses.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded tax expense of approximately 18.1% and 20.2% of income before income tax expense, respectively, for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the current period as compared to the prior period was largely due to increased discrete tax benefits associated with the issuance of stock compensation as well as lower statutory tax rates from foreign taxable income in 2023.
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 three-month period ended March 31, 2023 was approximately $1.7 million and was primarily a result of net income generated of approximately $9.7 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $2.8 million, share-based compensation of approximately $1.1 million, a change in the fair value of contingent consideration of approximately $2.9 million, an increase in income taxes payable of approximately $2.8 million, and an increase in other liabilities of approximately $0.5 million.
These cash inflows and adjustments to income were offset by a decrease in deferred taxes of approximately $0.5 million, an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $4.9 million due to higher sales in the last two months of the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase in inventory of approximately $3.1 million due to inventory build for upcoming demand and restocking to historical levels, an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $0.4 million primarily due to the payment of current year insurance policies, an increase in other assets of approximately $1.9 million due to increased right of use lease assets, a decrease in accrued expenses of approximately $6.2 million due primarily to the payment of accrued compensation and a decrease in deferred revenue of approximately $1.1 million to the recognition of deferred tooling and development revenue.
Net cash used in investing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 was approximately $2.2 million and was primarily the result of additions of manufacturing machinery and equipment and various building improvements across the Company.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2.6 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, representing borrowings under our credit facility of approximately $6.0 million, partially offset by principal payments of long-term debt of approximately $1.0 million, and payments of statutory withholding for stock options exercised and restricted stock units vested of approximately $2.5 million.
Outstanding and Available Debt
On December 22, 2021, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a secured $130 million Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as the initial lender, Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer, and certain other lenders from time-to-time party thereto. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s prior credit agreement, originally dated as of February 1, 2018.
The credit facilities under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement consist of a $40 million secured term loan to the Company and a secured revolving credit facility, under which the Company may borrow up to $90 million. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement matures on December 21, 2026. The secured term loam requires quarterly principal payments of $1,000,000 commencing on March 31, 2022. The proceeds of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including funding certain permitted acquisitions. The Company’s obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors.
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement calls for interest determined by the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (“BSBY”) plus a margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.0% or, at the discretion of the Company, the bank’s prime rate less a margin that ranges from .25% to zero. In both cases the applicable margin is dependent upon Company performance. Under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, 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 Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains other covenants customary for transactions of this type, including restrictions on certain payments, permitted indebtedness, and permitted investments. At March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $60 million in borrowings outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which were used as partial consideration for the DAS Medical and Advant acquisitions, and also had approximately $0.7 million in standby letters of credit outstanding, drawable as a financial guarantee on worker’s compensation insurance policies. At March 31, 2023, the applicable interest rate was approximately 6.1% and the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

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 amended and restated credit facility. The Company generated cash of approximately $1.7 million from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023; and the Company cannot guarantee that its operations will generate cash in future periods. The Company’s longer-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance and draws on the revolving credit facility are possible. Further, the continued economic uncertainty resulting from inflation, the Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic could affect the Company’s long-term ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue operations.
Throughout fiscal 2023, 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, will be sufficient to fund its cash flow requirements, including capital asset acquisitions, through the next twelve months.
The Company may also require additional capital in the future to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, or other investments. These capital requirements could be substantial. The Company anticipates that any future expansion of its business will be financed through existing resources, cash flow from operations, the Company's revolving credit facility, or other new financing. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet existing financial covenants or obtain other new financing on favorable terms, if at all. The Company's liquidity will be impacted to the extent additional stock repurchases are made under the Company's stock repurchase program.
Stock Repurchase Program
The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method, using the first-in, first-out flow assumption, and includes 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. The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under this program in the first three months of 2023 and has not repurchased any shares under this program since 2015. At March 31, 2023 approximately $9.4 million was available for future repurchases of the Company’s common stock under this authorization.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no material changes to the Company’s Critical Accounting Estimates, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations and commitments, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in our market risks as previously disclosed in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), the Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. That evaluation did not identify any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our latest fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company may be a party to various suits, claims and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company, these suits, claims and complaints should not result in final judgments or settlements that, in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
The Company faces a number of uncertainties and risks that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company's control. For a detailed discussion of the risks that affect our business, please refer to Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and Part II, Item 1A. There have been no material changes from the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
