Universal Display (OLED) Tops Q1 EPS by 4c
Universal Display (NASDAQ: OLED) reported Q1 EPS of $0.04, $0.04 better than the analyst estimate of $0.00. Revenue for the quarter came in at $29.7 million versus the consensus estimate of $31.56 million.
“In the first quarter, our commercial emitter revenues grew 8% year-over-year, primarily driven by strong green emitter shipments. Royalty and license fees increased by 22%. Host material sales, in line with expectations, declined year-over-year,” said Sidney D. Rosenblatt, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Universal Display.
Rosenblatt continued, “The OLED landscape continues to expand. New OLED products are launching, capacity is building, equipment bookings are increasing and the pipeline of OLED design activities is broadening. With OLED display penetration at only about 10% of the total consumer electronic display market, new applications like automotive, virtual reality, augmented reality and signage emerging and OLED lighting transitioning from development stage to commercial, we believe that our long-term growth trajectory remains strong.”
