The earnings call highlights strong revenue growth, especially in the medical business and with key customers like Stryker. Despite labor inefficiencies impacting margins, the company expects recovery by Q4. The Q&A session reveals optimism in robotic surgery opportunities and resolved inventory issues. The strategic expansion in the Dominican Republic and selective M&A activity further support positive sentiment. Given the market cap of $1.98 billion, these factors suggest a positive stock price movement of 2% to 8% over the next two weeks.
Revenue Revenue grew 37% with 5% organic growth. Reasons for change include strong growth in the medical business (46%), robotic-assisted surgery business (7%), and other markets like patient services and support, interventional and surgical, and wound care (each grew greater than 48%).
Revenue from largest customers Revenue from Intuitive Surgical grew 10% and from Stryker grew 567%. Reasons for change include business across multiple platforms and product categories with multiyear contracts.
Advanced Components business Declined approximately 20%. Reason for decline is the focus on fastest-growing MedTech opportunities.
Labor inefficiency impact Margin impact of $1.2 million in Q2 due to high labor turnover at the AJR facility. Reasons include transition to UFP employees and eligibility to work audit using the U.S. E-Verify system.
Gross margin Decreased to 28.8% for Q2 2025. Reasons include $1.2 million in costs at AJR and $5 million in backlog orders not completed due to labor issues.
Adjusted operating margin 18% of sales for Q2 2025, within target range.
Effective tax rate 20.6% for Q2 2025, slightly lower than anticipated due to higher income from Dominican operations taxed at a favorable rate.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) Increased 26.9% to $2.50. Reasons include strong operating results and favorable tax rates.
Cash from operations Generated $25.3 million in Q2 2025.
Debt repayment Paid down approximately $19 million in Q2 2025.
Capital expenditures $2.9 million in Q2 2025.
Medical business growth: Medical business grew 46%, with robotic-assisted surgery business growing 7%. Other markets like patient services, interventional and surgical, and wound care grew over 48%.
New acquisitions: Acquired UNIPEC, a specialty thin-film component supplier, and Techno Plastics Industries (TPI), a manufacturer of injection molded components for the medtech industry.
Market expansion in Dominican Republic: Expansion plans in Santiago and La Romana, Dominican Republic, including new equipment, personnel training, and additional warehouse space for robotic-assisted surgery business.
Labor inefficiencies: High labor turnover at AJR facility due to E-Verify audit caused inefficiencies, impacting margins by $1.2 million in Q2 and expected $2.5 million in Q3.
Tariff impact: Paid $150,000 in tariffs in Q2, with $9 million annual inflationary impact on raw materials, mostly passed to customers.
Focus on MedTech: Shifted resources to MedTech opportunities, leading to a 20% decline in Advanced Components business.
Strategic acquisitions: Acquisitions of UNIPEC and TPI to enhance capabilities and synergies in medtech industry.
Labor Turnover at AJR Facility: High labor turnover at the AJR facility due to the transition of employees from the seller to UFP and the subsequent eligibility to work audit using the U.S. E-Verify system. This has led to significant workforce turnover, impacting labor efficiency and revenue. Estimated margin impact was $1.2 million in Q2, with a projected $2.5 million impact in Q3.
Manufacturing Inefficiencies: Labor inefficiencies at AJR have caused approximately $5 million in backlog orders not being completed in Q2. This inefficiency is expected to increase in Q3, with a $7 million impact on revenue and a $2.5 million impact on operating income.
Tariffs and Inflationary Impact: The company paid $150,000 in tariffs in Q2, which were passed through to customers. However, the inflationary impact of tariffs on raw material purchases in the U.S. is estimated at $9 million annually, which could affect costs and pricing dynamics.
Decline in Advanced Components Business: The non-medical Advanced Components business declined by approximately 20% as resources were shifted to focus on MedTech opportunities. This decline could impact diversification and revenue stability.
Integration Risks from Acquisitions: Recent acquisitions (UNIPEC and TPI) involve integration risks, including achieving anticipated synergies and aligning operations. Failure to integrate effectively could impact financial performance.
Anticipated improvement in Advanced Components business: The company expects some improvement in the Advanced Components business, particularly in the aerospace and defense sector, in the second half of the year.
Labor inefficiency impact at AJR facility: The company estimates the margin impact of labor inefficiency at the AJR facility to be $2.5 million in Q3, with a much smaller impact in Q4 as new employees gain experience.
Acquisitions of UNIPEC and TPI: The acquisitions of UNIPEC and TPI are expected to be accretive in the first year and provide synergies, including shared best practices and enhanced thermoplastic molding capabilities.
Expansion plans in the Dominican Republic: The company is expanding operations in Santiago and La Romana, with new equipment, personnel training, and additional warehouse space to support program launches and product development.
Revenue and operating income impact from AJR labor issues: For Q3, the company anticipates a $7 million impact on revenue and a $2.5 million impact on operating income due to labor inefficiencies at the AJR facility.
Tariff impact and cost pass-through: The company estimates $9 million annually in inflationary impact from tariffs on raw materials, which it plans to pass through to customers.

The earnings report shows strong financial performance with significant revenue and EPS growth, despite minor inefficiencies. The Q&A indicates solid market positioning, no excess inventory issues, and growth in several segments. However, modest growth in the robotic surgery market and lack of a share repurchase program slightly temper the overall sentiment. Given the small-cap market cap, the positive aspects are likely to lead to a stock price increase in the range of 2% to 8% over the next two weeks.
The earnings call shows strong financial performance with significant revenue and EPS growth. However, the robotic surgery business faces modest growth and supply chain inefficiencies, while tariffs pose risks. The lack of a shareholder return plan and unclear guidance on tariffs and AJR inefficiencies temper optimism. Given the market cap, the stock price is likely to remain neutral, with limited movement expected.
