EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- (Nasdaq: OLED), enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED® technology and materials, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“We are pleased to report record financial performance in the second quarter. Reflecting our strong execution and current outlook for the year, we are raising the low end of our 2025 revenue guidance range, which we now project to be $650 million to $700 million,� said Brian Millard, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Universal Display Corporation. “We believe the OLED industry is entering a dynamic new phase of expansion, driven by increasing demand in the nascent OLED IT market—including tablets, laptops, and monitors. As OLED adoption broadens across consumer electronics and automotive applications, we believe we are well-positioned to be a key enabler in this next wave of growth.�

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2025

  • Total revenue in the second quarter of 2025 was $171.8 million as compared to $158.5 million in the second quarter of 2024.
  • Revenue from material sales was $88.7 million in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $95.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in material sales was primarily due to changes in customer mix and lower unit material volume for our emitter materials.
  • Revenue from royalty and license fees was $75.7 million in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $59.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in royalty and license fees was primarily the result of changes in customer mix, partially offset by lower unit material volume.
  • Cost of material sales was $34.2 million in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $35.5 million in the second quarter of 2024.
  • Total gross margin was 77% in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to 76% in the second quarter of 2024.
  • Operating income was $68.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $56.4 million in the second quarter of 2024.
  • The effective income tax rate was 19.8% in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to 19.3% in the second quarter of 2024.
  • Net income was $67.3 million or $1.41 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $52.3 million or $1.10 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2024.
