About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Company Overview

With expertise dating back to 1963 in specialized materials and precision manufacturing, UFP Technologies (NASDAQ: UFPT) designs and manufactures custom solutions for medical devices, sterile packaging, and other highly engineered products for healthcare and industrial applications.

Revenue Growth

Examining a company’s long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years. Luckily, UFP Technologies’s sales grew at an excellent 25.3% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth beat the average healthcare company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.

UFP Technologies Quarterly Revenue

Long-term growth is the most important, but within healthcare, a half-decade historical view may miss new innovations or demand cycles. UFP Technologies’s annualized revenue growth of 23.5% over the last two years is below its five-year trend, but we still think the results suggest healthy demand. UFP Technologies Year-On-Year Revenue Growth

This quarter, UFP Technologies’s year-on-year revenue growth of 37.2% was wonderful, and its $151.2 million of revenue was in line with Wall Street’s estimates.

Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 5.5% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last two years. Despite the slowdown, this projection is above average for the sector and indicates the market is forecasting some success for its newer products and services.

Software is eating the world and there is virtually no industry left that has been untouched by it. That drives increasing demand for tools helping software developers do their jobs, whether it be monitoring critical cloud infrastructure, integrating audio and video functionality, or ensuring smooth content streaming.

Operating Margin

UFP Technologies has done a decent job managing its cost base over the last five years. The company has produced an average operating margin of 14.5%, higher than the broader healthcare sector.

Analyzing the trend in its profitability, UFP Technologies’s operating margin rose by 5.6 percentage points over the last five years, as its sales growth gave it operating leverage. Zooming in on its more recent performance, we can see the company’s trajectory is intact as its margin has also increased by 1.4 percentage points on a two-year basis.

UFP Technologies Trailing 12-Month Operating Margin (GAAP)

In Q2, UFP Technologies generated an operating margin profit margin of 16.1%, down 1.3 percentage points year on year. This reduction is quite minuscule and indicates the company’s overall cost structure has been relatively stable.

Earnings Per Share

Revenue trends explain a company’s historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth – for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions.

UFP Technologies’s EPS grew at an astounding 32.8% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 25.3% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.

UFP Technologies Trailing 12-Month EPS (Non-GAAP)

We can take a deeper look into UFP Technologies’s earnings to better understand the drivers of its performance. As we mentioned earlier, UFP Technologies’s operating margin declined this quarter but expanded by 5.6 percentage points over the last five years. This was the most relevant factor (aside from the revenue impact) behind its higher earnings; interest expenses and taxes can also affect EPS but don’t tell us as much about a company’s fundamentals.

In Q2, UFP Technologies reported adjusted EPS at $2.50, up from $1.86 in the same quarter last year. This print easily cleared analysts’ estimates, and shareholders should be content with the results. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects UFP Technologies’s full-year EPS of $9.82 to grow 1.6%.

Key Takeaways from UFP Technologies’s Q2 Results

It was encouraging to see UFP Technologies beat analysts’ EPS expectations this quarter. On the other hand, its revenue was in line. Overall, this print had some key positives. The market seemed to be hoping for more, and the stock traded down 2.5% to $220.50 immediately following the results.

So do we think UFP Technologies is an attractive buy at the current price? If you’re making that decision, you should consider the bigger picture of valuation, business qualities, as well as the latest earnings. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it’s free.
