    Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI) (NASDAQ:UEIC) reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

    "Focused on building for a better future and expanding our end market reach, we continue to shift sales and product development resources to our climate control and home automation channels," said UEI Chairman and CEO Paul Arling. "We are very encouraged by numerous customer wins and are confident that there are many more to come. We now have won projects with six of the top ten HVAC equipment manufacturers worldwide. We have and will continue to optimize our manufacturing footprint and execute cost-savings initiatives while continuing to invest in the resources required to build momentum in the connected home markets. We performed as expected in the first quarter and gross margins increased significantly year-over-year. With all these actions, including our mounting project wins, we expect to grow the bottom-line and deliver full year profitability. We believe our best years are ahead of us, and our employees around the world remain hard at work to make this a reality."

    Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31: 2024 Compared to 2023

    • GAAP net sales were $91.9 million, compared to $108.4 million; Adjusted Non-GAAP net sales were $91.9 million, compared to $108.4 million.
    • GAAP gross margins were 28.3%, compared to 22.8%; Adjusted Non-GAAP gross margins were 29.6%, compared to 25.4%.
    • GAAP operating loss was $6.9 million, compared to GAAP operating loss of $59.5 million, including a $49.1 million non-cash charge for goodwill impairment; Adjusted Non-GAAP operating loss was $2.2 million, compared to $3.6 million.
    • GAAP net loss was $8.6 million, or $0.67 per share, compared to $61.4 million including the aforementioned non-cash charge, or $4.81 per share; Adjusted Non-GAAP net loss was $2.5 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $3.5 million, or $0.28 per share.
    • At March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $26.9 million. During the first quarter of 2024, the company repurchased approximately 95,000 shares in the open market for $0.8 million.

    Financial Outlook

    For the second quarter of 2024, the company expects GAAP net sales to range between $90.0 million and $100.0 million, compared to $107.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. GAAP loss per share for the second quarter of 2024 is expected to range from $0.53 to $0.43, compared to GAAP loss per share of $0.81 in the second quarter of 2023.

    For the second quarter of 2024, the company expects Adjusted Non-GAAP net sales to range from $90.0 million and $100.0 million, compared to $107.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted Non-GAAP loss per share is expected to range from a loss of $0.10 per share to $0.00 per share, compared to loss per share of $0.06 in the second quarter of 2023. The second quarter 2024 Adjusted Non-GAAP loss per share estimate excludes $0.43 per share related to, among other things, excess manufacturing overhead costs, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, litigation costs, foreign currency gains and losses and the related tax impact of these adjustments. For a more detailed explanation of Non-GAAP measures, please see the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics discussion and the Reconciliation of Adjusted Non-GAAP Financial Results, each located elsewhere in this press release.

    Conference Call Information

    UEI's management team will hold a conference call today, Thursday, May 2, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. ET / 1:30 p.m. PT, to discuss its first quarter 2024 earnings results, review recent activity and answer questions. To attend the call please register here to receive a computer-generated dial-in number and a unique pin number. 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

    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, 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 and factory restructuring costs. 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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 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. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2023 include normal start-up costs such as idle labor and training associated with our Vietnam factory prior to its commencement of operations in the latter part of June 2023.

    (2)

     

    Consists of depreciation related to the mark-up from cost to fair value of fixed assets acquired in business combinations.

    (3)

     

    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.

    (4)

     

    During the three months ended March 31, 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.

    (5)

     

    The three months ended March 31, 2024 include severance and other exit costs associated with the closure of our southwestern China factory and the downsizing of our Mexico factory.
