Insights

Universal Electronics Inc.'s Q2 2024 results show a mixed financial picture. While net sales declined 15.7% year-over-year to $90.5 million, the company achieved a significant gross margin improvement of 580 basis points to 28.7%. This margin expansion is attributed to the company's efforts to optimize its global manufacturing footprint.

The company's operating loss narrowed to $4.5 million from $9.1 million in the previous year, indicating improved operational efficiency. However, UEI still reported a net loss of $8.2 million or $0.63 per share. On an adjusted non-GAAP basis, the net loss was $1.2 million or $0.09 per share, showing some improvement in underlying performance.

Looking ahead, UEI expects Q3 2024 net sales between $98.0 million and $108.0 million, with adjusted non-GAAP earnings per diluted share ranging from $0.01 to $0.11. This guidance suggests a potential return to profitability, which could be a positive turning point for the company.

UEI's performance reflects broader industry challenges in the consumer electronics sector. The company's focus on wireless control solutions and patented technologies appears to be yielding results, with reported design wins from major global household brands. This suggests potential for future growth despite current headwinds.

The company's strategy of fortifying its business through customer relationships, expanding its IP portfolio and managing expenses is prudent in the face of market uncertainties. The nearly completed two-year plan to optimize the global manufacturing footprint has significantly improved margins, which could enhance competitiveness in the long run.

UEI's expectation of consistent sales and earnings growth into 2025 and 2026 indicates confidence in its product pipeline and market position. However, investors should monitor the company's ability to convert design wins into revenue and its success in navigating ongoing supply chain and market demand fluctuations.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI) (NASDAQ: UEIC) reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

“Our innovative wireless control solutions and patented technologies continue to capture design wins from major global household brands across all areas of the business,” said UEI Chairman and CEO Paul Arling. “Second quarter 2024 net sales were within guidance, even though some quarter-end orders were pushed out and shipped in early third quarter. Our pipeline of new product developments, recent design wins and new project engagements are laying the foundation for a strong future. We continue to fortify our business by fostering new and existing customer relationships, expanding our intellectual property portfolio and managing our expenses. We have nearly completed our two-year plan to optimize our global manufacturing footprint, which has yielded significantly higher margins. For the second quarter 2024, our gross margin percentage increased 580 basis points over the prior year quarter. As a result of these efforts, we expect to be profitable for the second half of 2024 and to deliver consistent sales and earnings growth into 2025, 2026 and beyond.”

Conference Call Information

UEI’s management team will hold a conference call today, Thursday, August 8, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. ET / 1:30 p.m. PT, to discuss its second quarter 2024 earnings results, review recent activity and answer questions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics and Additional Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, UEI provides Adjusted Non-GAAP information as additional information for its operating results. References to Adjusted Non-GAAP information are to non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not required by, in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. UEI’s management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of UEI for budget planning purposes and for making operational and financial decisions. Management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, help investors evaluate UEI’s core operating and financial performance and business trends consistent with how management evaluates such performance and trends. Additionally, management believes these measures facilitate comparisons with the core operating and financial results and business trends of competitors and other companies.

Adjusted Non-GAAP net sales is defined as net sales. Adjusted Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted Non-GAAP operating expenses are defined as operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles acquired, costs associated with certain litigation efforts, factory restructuring costs, goodwill impairment and severance. Adjusted Non-GAAP net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding the aforementioned items, foreign currency gains and losses, and the related tax effects of all adjustments. Adjusted Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted share is calculated using Adjusted Non-GAAP net income (loss). A reconciliation of these financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.

The company will no longer exclude excess manufacturing overhead costs resulting from the continued transition of its global manufacturing footprint, specifically in Mexico and Vietnam, and depreciation related to the mark-up from cost to fair value of fixed assets acquired in business combinations from its Adjusted Non-GAAP figures. This impacts Adjusted Non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating income (loss), income (loss) before provision (benefit) from income taxes and net income (loss) in the quarterly results for 2023 and 2024. There is no impact to GAAP results. A reconciliation of these measures is posted on the website in the Q2 2024 Quarterly Results section.
