Universal Display Corporation (Nasdaq: OLED), enabling
energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED®
technology and materials, today reported financial results for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“We reported solid second quarter results as the OLED IT
adoption cycle begins to gain momentum,” said Brian Millard, Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer of Universal Display
Corporation. “With leading OEMs embarking on their OLED IT journey
with the introduction of new OLED PC products, we believe that a
new multi-year capex cycle has commenced to support this growth. As
the broadening proliferation of OLEDs across the consumer landscape
fuels the market’s positive trajectory, we are enhancing our
operational and strategic infrastructure and fortifying our
leadership position in the ecosystem. This new chapter in our
long-term growth story is expected to usher in tremendous
opportunities for the industry and for us.”
Financial Highlights for the Second
Quarter of 2024
- Total revenue in the second quarter of 2024 was $158.5 million
as compared to $146.6 million in the second quarter of 2023.
- Revenue from material sales was $95.4 million in the second
quarter of 2024 as compared to $77.1 million in the second 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 $59.6 million in the
second quarter of 2024 as compared to $64.4 million in the second
quarter of 2023. The decrease in royalty and license fees was
primarily the result of changes in customer mix between periods,
partially offset by increased sales volume.
- Cost of material sales was $35.5 million in the second quarter
of 2024 as compared to $28.6 million in the second quarter of 2023.
The increase in cost of material sales was primarily due to an
increase in the level of materials sales.
- Total gross margin was 76% in the second quarter of 2024 as
compared to 78% in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was
primarily due to changes in customer and product mix.
- Operating income was $56.4 million in the second quarter of
2024 as compared to $58.6 million in the second quarter of
2023.
- The effective income tax rate was 19.3% and 22.4% in the second
quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
- Net income was $52.3 million or $1.10 per diluted share in the
second quarter of 2024 as compared to $49.7 million or $1.04 per
diluted share in the second quarter of 2023.

- Revenue from material sales was $188.7 million in the first

- Revenue from royalty and license fees was $127.8 million in the
first half of 2024 as compared to $119.6 million in the first half

between periods.
- Cost of material sales was $69.6 million in the first half of
2024 as compared to $58.1 million in the first half 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
$645 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 third quarter cash dividend of
$0.40 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend is
payable on September 30, 2024 to all shareholders of record as of
the close of business on September 16, 2024.
