“2014 and the beginning of 2015 were extraordinary times for Universal Display Corporation. We solidified new and expanded customer agreements with world class companies, including BOE Technology Group, Kaneka Corporation, LG Display, OLEDWorks, Philips and Sumitomo Chemical. We also introduced new materials and broadened our global intellectual property framework to over 3,500 issued and pending patents,” said Steven V. Abramson, Universal Display's President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our financial performance was also strong: we achieved record revenues, operating profit and earnings. OLEDs continue to propel the ever-widening applications and form factor possibilities of display and lighting technologies. Proofs of concept and market ready products in categories including smartphones, tablets, TVs and wearables inspire and capture the attention of inventors, designers, OEMs, consumers and adopters alike, creating strong demand and a growing marketplace for our materials, technologies and expertise.”

During the meeting, Mr. Abramson highlighted that Universal Display continued to demonstrate financial strength, including a 30% increase in revenue growth to $191.0 million, a 53% increase in operating income to $58.6 million and a 29% increase in earnings to $41.9 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, all comparing 2014 to 2013.

Focusing on the path ahead, Mr. Abramson shared his perspective on Universal Display's long-term outlook. “We are energized by the great opportunities that lie ahead as the OLED industry continues to gain traction and show great growth potential. Our talented multidisciplinary team is hard at work on the next phases of growth,” said Mr. Abramson. “We remain highly focused on building our technology leadership, growing the company and creating value for our shareholders.
