Universal Display Corporation Announces First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Universal Display Corporation (Nasdaq: OLED), enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED® technology and materials, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

“We began the year on a strong note with solid first quarter results across the board,” said Brian Millard, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Universal Display Corporation. “With the OLED IT market poised for significant growth, continued OLED proliferation in smartphones and TVs, and projected expansion of foldables, we see meaningful opportunities across multiple market verticals. As we approach UDC’s 30th anniversary next month, we reflect on our amazing journey that has been marked by relentless innovation, exponential growth, and the materialization of products that were once distant dreams. As we look forward, we are excited to reach even greater heights in the future and continue to make a lasting impact on the OLED industry.”

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter of 2024

  • Total revenue in the first quarter of 2024 was $165.3 million as compared to $130.5 million in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Revenue from material sales was $93.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $70.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in material sales was primarily due to strengthened demand for our emitter materials.
  • Revenue from royalty and license fees was $68.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $55.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in royalty and license fees was primarily the result of higher unit material volume, partially offset by a reduced cumulative catch-up adjustment.
  • Cost of material sales was $34.1 million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $29.5 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in cost of material sales was primarily due to an increase in the level of materials sales, partially offset by a $3.3 million decrease in inventory reserve expense.
  • Total gross margin was 78% in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to 75% in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Operating income was $62.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $45.4 million in the first quarter of 2023.
  • The effective income tax rate was 19.4% and 22.8% in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
  • Net income was $56.9 million or $1.19 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $39.8 million or $0.83 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2023.

2024 Revised Guidance

The Company has increased the lower end of its previous revenue guidance and believes that 2024 revenue will be in the range of $635 million to $675 million. The OLED industry remains at a stage where many variables can have a material impact on results, and the Company thus caveats its financial guidance accordingly.

Dividend

The Company also announced a second quarter cash dividend of $0.40 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend is payable on June 28, 2024 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 14, 2024.
