Universal Electronics reports Q1 EPS (58c), one estimate (3c)

Reports Q1 revenue $79.0M, one estimate $73.9M. “Q1 results were broadly consistent with the operating environment we anticipated, reinforcing the decisive actions we took last quarter to strategically restructure and refocus the business,” said Richard Carnifax, Interim CEO and COO. “We are already seeing tangible progress in the areas within our control, including a $5.3 million year-over-year reduction in operating expenses and approximately $9.8 million of inventory reduction. Our full-year framework is grounded in disciplined execution – aligning our cost structure, sharpening our portfolio focus and maintaining rigorous working capital management – rather than relying on a near-term recovery in demand. We remain focused on enhancing profitability, generating sustainable cash flow and strengthening the operational and financial flexibility necessary to position UEI for greater long-term resilience and success.”
