Retractable Technologies, Inc. Announces Reduction in Its Manufacturing Workforce
LITTLE ELM, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Retractable Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: RVP) reports that it has reduced its workforce by approximately 12.4%. The reduction is expected to save an estimated $1.6 million in annual wages and benefits, or approximately 8.6% of total estimated workforce costs. The expected savings is offset by one-time separation payments of approximately $56 thousand to the affected workers. The reduction targets the Company's manufacturing and manufacturing support positions as the Company continues to balance its domestic manufacturing presence against its reliance on imported products and associated tariffs from its Chinese contract manufacturers. While contract manufacturers in China have historically produced most of the products the Company sells, the material financial impact of tariffs on Chinese imports has caused the Company to ramp-up its domestic production activities, while working to minimize the financial impact of the change. To the extent possible, the Company will continue to import only those products which it cannot make domestically and rely on its Little Elm facility to produce the remainder of its products. The Company is unable to predict future U.S. trade policy, or the potential impact it may have on the Company's ability to import products from China or other countries. ABOUT RETRACTABLE Retractable manufactures and markets VanishPoint ® and Patient Safe ® safety medical products and the EasyPoint ® needle. The VanishPoint ® syringe, blood collection, and IV catheter products are designed to prevent needlestick injuries and product reuse by retracting the needle directly from the patient, effectively reducing exposure to the contaminated needle. Patient Safe ® syringes are uniquely designed to reduce the risk of bloodstream infections resulting from catheter hub contamination. The EasyPoint ® is a retractable needle that can be used with luer lock syringes, luer slip syringes, and prefilled syringes to give injections. The EasyPoint ® needle also can be used to aspirate fluids and for blood collection. Retractable's products are distributed by various specialty and general line distributors.

Retractable believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are accurate. However, Retractable cannot assure you that such expectations will materialize. Actual future performance could differ materially from such statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: material changes in demand; tariffs; Retractable's ability to maintain liquidity; Retractable's maintenance of patent protection; Retractable's ability to maintain favorable third party manufacturing and supplier arrangements and relationships; foreign trade risk; Retractable's ability to access the market; production costs; the impact of larger market players in providing devices to the safety market; and other risks and uncertainties that are detailed from time to time in Retractable's periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
