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.

The conference call will also be broadcast live on the investor section of the UEI website where it will be available for replay for 90 days.
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.
