Universal Display Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
EWING, N.J. – August 5, 2021 – 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, 2021.
“Looking to the year, we are on track to achieve approximately 30% year-over-year sales growth, translating into a new record high for annual revenue for the Company,” said Sidney D. Rosenblatt, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Universal Display. “As we anticipate ongoing momentum in the OLED industry to increase in 2021 and beyond, we are excited about the long and vast runway of forecasted growth for the market. Given this expected growth, we are continuing to fuel and fortify our innovation engine, expand our global infrastructure, and invest in our people to advance our leadership position and further enable our customers and the OLED ecosystem.”
Rosenblatt continued, “Energy-efficiency and sustainability are key cornerstones of our UniversalPHOLED technology and materials. The discovery of our proprietary phosphorescent technology was an enabling breakthrough in the OLED industry. With efficiencies that are up to four times higher than conventional OLED materials, UDC’s patented and award-winning phosphorescent OLED technology and UniversalPHOLED materials are proven to be integral in enabling high-performance, low-power consumption and energy-efficiency in OLED displays and lighting. Our energy-efficiency initiatives are expanding as we continue to invent and develop new OLED materials and technologies, including progress toward delivery of an all-phosphorescent red, green and blue emissive system, that can enable a sustainable and low-carbon future.”
Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2021
| • | Total revenue in the second quarter of 2021 was $129.7 million as compared to $58.0 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in revenue was due to strengthened demand for OLED products utilizing our emitter material, as well as the recovery in sales that were adversely affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Even though we believe we have experienced the worst effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we remain uncertain as to the possibility of its re-emergence and any corresponding negative impact on OLED market demand. |
