– Authorizes Stock Repurchase Program for Up to 1 Million Shares –
Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI) (NASDAQ: UEIC) reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Also, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to one million shares.
Paul Arling, UEI’s chairman and CEO, said, “During the third quarter of 2023, we increased gross margin to a high for the year and managed costs to deliver bottom-line results within expectations. Our technology and innovations in the connected home markets are winning new business, which will support revenues that we expect to build throughout 2024 and 2025. The opportunities in the connected home space combined with the successful wins and multitude of projects we are working on give us conviction to initiate a stock buyback for up to one million shares.”
UEI’s CFO Bryan Hackworth added, “We are executing on our plan to control costs and optimize our manufacturing footprint, and these efforts are beginning to yield benefits. Our new facility in Vietnam is meeting its production efficiency targets, which enabled the closure of our southwestern China factory in September, approximately one quarter earlier than expected. These initiatives have positioned UEI to achieve improved operating efficiencies in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2024. Additionally, cash flows provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2023 were $20.1 million, which we used to reduce our net debt position to only $15 million by quarter end and to strengthen the balance sheet to support growth.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
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 the impact of excess manufacturing overhead costs, factory transition costs, impairment, stock-based compensation expense, and depreciation expense related to the increase in fixed assets from cost to fair market value resulting from acquisitions. 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, goodwill impairment, impairment, factory restructuring costs and severance. Adjusted Non-GAAP net income is defined as net income excluding the aforementioned items, foreign currency gains and losses, the related tax effects of all adjustments, as well as a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets. Adjusted Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted share is calculated using Adjusted Non-GAAP net income. A reconciliation of these financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.

(1) |
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 include unabsorbed manufacturing overhead costs resulting from the expansion of our manufacturing facility in Mexico where products destined for the U.S. market are manufactured, exacerbated by a subsequent decline in production volume. These products destined for the U.S. market were previously manufactured in China. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 also include manufacturing inefficiencies associated with our new Vietnam factory which recently commenced operations in the latter part of June 2023. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred normal start-up costs such as idle labor and training associated with this same factory prior to its commencement. |
|
(2) |
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 include impairment charges relating to machinery and equipment and leasehold improvements associated with the closure of our southwestern China factory, which ceased operations in September 2023. In addition, we also incurred impairment charges relating to machinery and equipment at our Mexico factory as we are reducing its capacity due to lower demand. |
|
(3) |
Consists of depreciation related to the mark-up from cost to fair value of fixed assets acquired in business combinations. |
|
(4) |
Consists of expenses related to our various litigation matters involving Roku, Inc. and certain other related entities including three Federal District Court cases, two International Trade Commission investigations and the defense of various inter partes reviews and appeals before the US Patent and Trademark Board as well as other non-recurring legal matters. |
|
(5) |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $49.1 million as a result of our market capitalization being significantly less than the carrying value of our equity. |
|
(6) |
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 include severance and equipment moving costs associated with the closure of our southwestern China factory. |
|
(7) |
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes severance costs associated with a reduction in headcount at our corporate offices. |
|
(8) |
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 include a $1.4 million valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets at our southwestern China entity as a result of its closure. |
