EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Universal Display Corporation (Nasdaq: OLED), enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED® technology and materials, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
“We are pleased to report excellent first quarter results across the board, including record emitter sales,” said Sidney D. Rosenblatt, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Universal Display. “It is an exciting time for the OLED industry. We are encouraged by the momentum that we are seeing from our customers as well as from the supply chain that supports the OLED ecosystem. With customers’ mounting investments in new manufacturing capacity and the development of an array of new display and lighting products, we expect our growth trajectory to be positive for the foreseeable future.”
Rosenblatt continued, “As we look forward, we believe that the OLED industry is poised to grow faster than earlier expectations this year. We are therefore raising our 2017 revenue guidance range to at least $260 million to $280 million, reflecting year-over-year growth of 30% to 40%. Additionally, we are pleased to announce that the Board of Directors approved a second quarter dividend of $0.03 per share.”
Financial Highlights for the First Quarter of 2017

- Revenue from royalty and license fees increased 32% to $7.0 million in the first quarter, compared with $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2016.
- Operating income increased by $9.6 million to $12.1 million in the first quarter, compared with $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2016.
