Universal Display Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results

EWING, N.J.--()--Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ: PANL), enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED® technology and materials, today announced its results for the second quarter of 2011.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $11,252,415, a 33 percent increase compared to revenues of $8,446,829 in the same quarter a year ago. Commercial revenue, which includes commercial chemical revenue, license and royalty revenues, and commercialization assistance revenue, was $5,278,704 for the quarter, compared to $1,951,892 for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 170 percent. The increase was primarily due to increased commercial chemical sales and royalty revenues.

Developmental revenue, which includes development chemical revenue, contract research revenue, and technology development revenue, was $5,973,711 for the quarter, compared to $6,494,937 for the second quarter of 2010, an eight percent decrease. For the second quarter of 2010, developmental revenue included the recognition of $2,100,000 in non-refundable payments previously received from a customer for technical assistance. There were no comparable revenues recognized in the current quarter.

For the second quarter of 2011, the company reported an operating loss of $1,070,753, compared to an operating loss of $1,909,144 for the second quarter of 2010. For the second quarter of 2011, net income was $3,312,700, corresponding to earnings of $0.07 per basic share and a loss of $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4,436,095 for the second quarter of 2010, corresponding to a loss of $0.12 per basic and diluted share. Net income for the second quarter of 2011 included a $4,496,367 non-cash gain on stock warrant liability, compared to a non-cash loss of $2,582,428 on stock warrant liability for the second quarter of 2010. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were $12,323,168, compared to $10,355,973 for the second quarter of 2010.

Cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2011 was approximately $223,000, compared to approximately $2,315,000 of cash used in operating activities for the second quarter of 2010. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an improvement in the net loss, excluding non-cash items, of approximately $2.4 million on a year-over-year basis. With $250 million raised in an equity offering in March 2011, the company’s balance sheet remained strong, with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $326 million as of June 30, 2011.

“We are pleased to report the best revenue quarter in our company’s history on the strength of increasing commercial revenue and development chemical sales,” said Sidney D. Rosenblatt, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Universal Display. “Key to our sustained growth, commercial revenue was up 170 percent for the quarter, reflecting the accelerating pace at which products using our technology and materials are moving into the market. Developmental revenue was also strong, indicative of a broadening range of customer development efforts that utilize our proprietary technology and materials for a wide array of exciting displays and lighting applications. Operating performance also improved, with strong margins on incremental revenues. We also achieved positive operating cash flow for the third consecutive quarter. While the bottom line benefited from non-cash gains this quarter, we certainly believe that our financial performance illustrates the significant progress we are making in creating value for our shareholders.”

Mr. Rosenblatt concluded, “In addition to our financial results, we are making equally impressive progress in our efforts to strengthen our intellectual property position and to develop innovative new applications for our technologies and materials. Our patented encapsulation technology for the packaging of flexible OLEDs and other thin-film devices, advances in our printable UniversalP2OLED technology and materials, and flexible OLED display and lighting panel initiatives are some of the exciting projects ongoing at Universal Display that may lead to new growth markets for the company. With momentum building for OLEDs in mobile, television and lighting applications, the advances being achieved in our OLED technologies and materials continue to position our company as the leading OLED technology provider.”
