Universal Electronics reported sharply lower revenue but improved profitability for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Net sales fell 25.0% to $73.2 million, driven by softer demand in both connected home and home entertainment channels. Gross margin rose to 35.4% from 29.9%, helped by monetization of IEEPA tariff refund claims, mix benefits and lower freight costs. Operating income increased to $4.8 million from $1.0 million, and the company posted net income of $1.6 million, or $0.12 diluted EPS, versus a net loss of $2.9 million a year earlier. For the first six months, net sales were $152.3 million with a net loss of $5.7 million.
Cash and cash equivalents were $32.4 million, supplemented by $48.7 million of available borrowing capacity across U.S. and China credit lines. Operating cash flow was $5.5 million, as inventories declined by $8.1 million. The company sold tariff refund claims for about $7.6 million and recorded a $6.9 million IEEPA receivable plus a $3.9 million liability for expected customer refunds, while continuing to face macro headwinds from tariffs, foreign exchange volatility, and weaker consumer demand.
