Universal Display Corporation (Nasdaq: OLED), enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED® technology and materials, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
“We are pleased to report solid third quarter results, including record revenue of $143.6 million,” said Sidney D. Rosenblatt, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Universal Display. “As we look at the second half of the year, we see that the pandemic and component shortages are causing significant disruptions in the global supply chain. While these ongoing uncertainties are impacting the consumer electronics ecosystem, we are reaffirming our revenue guidance range of $530 million to $560 million. On the partnership front, we are pleased to announce that we extended our long-term material and license agreements with leading Chinese panel maker Tianma. We are delighted to continue our strong partnership with Tianma, which is advancing its OLED presence and expanding its product portfolio. We are also gratified to share that The Forum of Executive Women has recognized Universal Display Corporation as a Champion of Board Diversity for the second year. This is indicative of our steadfast commitment to cultivating and nurturing a global culture that celebrates innovation, collaboration, diversity and inclusion.”
Rosenblatt continued, “As we look to the OLED industry, we believe that we are still in the early innings of a long-term secular growth market. As the next wave of OLED adoption for medium-and-large-area applications takes shape, we are fortifying our position as an OLED leader and innovator on multiple fronts. We are leveraging our 25-plus years of pioneering research, know-how and experience into new OLED materials and technologies. We are also expanding our global footprint, building our infrastructure that is designed to drive an effective cost structure and targeting new opportunities, including phosphorescent blue and OVJP (organic vapor jet printing). We believe that these strategic initiatives will enable us to continue providing our customers with best-in-class solutions, while keeping UDC at the forefront of the growing OLED industry.”
