Universal Display Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
EWING, N.J. – August 4, 2022 – 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, 2022.
“Our second quarter started off solidly, but as we approached the summer, customers lowered their order forecasts. Given the downward trend in forecast revisions and increasing macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility, we are revising our 2022 revenue forecast to approximately $600 million, plus or minus $10 million,” said Sidney D. Rosenblatt, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Universal Display Corporation. “While near-term macro headwinds may weigh on demand, as a lean operating company with a strong balance sheet and no debt, we are well positioned to continue investing in our long-term strategic growth initiatives to reinforce our first-mover advantage, expand our materials and technologies portfolio and broaden our support to customers and the OLED industry.”
Rosenblatt continued, “Looking to the OLED industry, we believe that 2024 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the OLED market and for us. As the stage is being set for the next phase of significant OLED growth with a new wave of gen 6 and gen 8.5 OLED capacity plans reportedly in the works, we continue to believe that we are on track to meet preliminary target specs with our phosphorescent blue by year-end, which should enable the introduction of our all-phosphorescent RGB stack into the commercial market in 2024.”
Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2022
• Total revenue in the second quarter of 2022 was $136.6 million as compared to $129.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. The deterioration in the overall global market economy had a negative impact on the demand for OLED products utilizing our emitter material. As a result of this near-term weakness, the forecasted sales volume of emitters anticipated over the remaining lives of our customer’s contracts was reduced resulting in recording a positive cumulative catch-up adjustment to total revenue of $8.8 million arising from changes in estimates of transaction price.
• Revenue from material sales was $71.9 million in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $77.4 million in the second quarter of 2021.
• Revenue from royalty and license fees was $60.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $48.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily the result of a reduction in the forecasted sales volume anticipated over the remaining lives of their respective contracts in accordance with ASC 606.
• Cost of material sales was $25.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $25.3 million in the second quarter of 2021.
• Operating income was $53.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $49.9 million in the second quarter of 2021.
• Net income was $41.5 million or $0.87 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $40.5 million or $0.85 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2021.

Dividend
The Company also announced a third quarter cash dividend of $0.30 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend is payable on September 30, 2022 to all shareholders of record on September 16, 2022.

Universal Display Corporation Announces Retirement Plans of Chief Financial Officer Sidney D. Rosenblatt
Brian Millard Appointed New CFO
Ewing, New Jersey – August 4, 2022 - Universal Display Corporation (Nasdaq: OLED), enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED® technology and materials, today announced that following a brilliant and remarkable 26 years with the Company, Sidney D. Rosenblatt plans to retire as CFO at the end of this year. Rosenblatt will remain on the Company’s Board of Directors. Universal Display also announced today that Brian Millard has been appointed Chief Financial Officer, effective September 6, 2022.
“It has been a wondrous and tireless two-and-a-half-plus decades of building and shaping Universal Display Corporation from a three-person startup to a successful global leader that continues to be at the forefront of
the OLED industry,” said Rosenblatt. “I am grateful for my incredible journey at UDC and look forward to working with Brian to ensure a smooth transition. Sherwin (Seligsohn), Steve and I took this Company public in 1996 with one patent pending, a research contract with Princeton University and a vision to revolutionize the display industry. The next 15 years were filled with triumphs, challenges, unwavering determination and an unshakeable belief in the future of OLEDs and the Company. In 2011, we achieved profitability and UDC’s earnings have reached new record levels ever since. It has been a distinct honor to help lead this amazing company and to work alongside phenomenal and dedicated people through these many years. I am humbled by and proud of all of UDC’s accomplishments and am confident that the future of the Company is exceptionally strong.”
“On behalf of the Board, the management team and our colleagues at UDC, I would like to thank Sid for his extraordinary leadership, steadfast commitment and immeasurable contributions to the Company. He has been instrumental in the construction and reinforcement of UDC’s strong foundation for sustainable, long-term growth,” said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Universal Display Corporation. “I am deeply grateful for Sid’s astute counsel, and on a more personal note, the wonderful friendship that we have shared for more than 45 years. Our partnership began when we met in law school in 1976 and it extended into the professional world in 1982. We both joined an earlier startup of Sherwin’s that helped invent digital cellular radio, International Mobile Machines Corporation (IMM). After helping to successfully transform two early-stage companies into profitable world-class operations over the course of approximately five decades, I would like to wish Sid, on behalf of the entire company, a happy and well-deserved retirement.”
Abramson continued, “We are pleased to welcome Brian Millard to Universal Display Corporation. Brian brings a wealth of valuable financial, operational and strategic experience and expertise to UDC. As we move to the next exciting chapter of our long-term growth story, I am confident Brian is well-suited to UDC’s culture of inventiveness, integrity, inclusion and imagination.”
“I am excited to join the management team at Universal Display Corporation, a global leader in the OLED ecosystem,” said Brian Millard. “As a pioneering innovator in the young OLED industry, the Company has a myriad of tremendous opportunities ahead. I look forward to being a part of the Universal Display team to help achieve its vision for the future and to drive shareholder value.”
Millard joins Universal Display Corporation with more than 15 years of deep financial, operational and strategic experience and has worked in senior roles across several industries. Millard comes to UDC from Emergent BioSolutions, where he recently served as Senior Vice President of Finance and Corporate Controller. Prior to Emergent, Millard held finance leadership positions at large multinational companies, including Hertz Global Holdings and Hilton Worldwide. He began his professional career at Deloitte & Touche. Millard has a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from James Madison University and is a licensed CPA.
