SECOND QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS
SANTA ANA, CA – August 3, 2017 – Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI), (NASDAQ: UEIC) reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
“Our second quarter 2017 financial results were in line with our expectations; net sales increased 3%, operating income grew 8% and EPS increased 5% over last year’s second quarter,” stated Paul Arling, UEI's Chairman and CEO. “Major cable operators such as Comcast, Cox and Shaw continue to upgrade their customers to new offerings such as the X1 Entertainment Operating System® and X1 Voice Remote. Additional operators, on a worldwide basis, are now progressing through the design and testing stages of advanced home entertainment and home control platforms powered by UEI technology. Our customers are introducing platforms with new connection protocols and a new suite of devices - such as home security and sensing, and energy monitoring and management - all of which can now be centrally and simply controlled. By enabling that connection, UEI continues to gain momentum supplying the industry with the solutions that serve the increasingly complex smart home environment. Due to our long-standing relationships with the world’s leading subscription broadcasters and consumer electronics OEMs, our diverse portfolio of technologies and solutions, as well as our long history of innovation, UEI is well positioned to capitalize on this long-term growth opportunity.”

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 and believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, helps 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 excluding the impact of stock-based compensation for performance-based warrants. Adjusted Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding stock-based compensation expense, cost of goods sold and depreciation expense related to the increase in inventories and fixed assets from cost to fair market value resulting from acquisitions, amortization of intangibles acquired, and excess manufacturing overhead. Adjusted Non-GAAP operating expenses are defined as operating expenses excluding amortization of intangibles acquired, stock-based compensation expense, employee related restructuring costs, litigation settlement costs and changes in contingent consideration related to acquisitions as well as other acquisition related costs and nonrecurring items. Adjusted Non-GAAP net income is defined as net income excluding the aforementioned items, foreign currency gains and losses, and the related tax effects of all adjustments, as well as the income tax effects of nondeductible projected losses to be incurred as a result of the shutdown of the company's Guangzhou factory. Adjusted Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to Universal Electronics Inc. is calculated using Adjusted Non-GAAP net income attributable to Universal Electronics Inc. A reconciliation of these financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.
