NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2026
(Unaudited)
Note 1 —
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Universal Electronics Inc. and its subsidiaries contain all the adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except for the restructuring charges, monetization of IEEPA tariff refund claims, and re-acquisition of assets held for sale, as described in Notes 12, 8, and 19, respectively to the consolidated financial statements. Information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As used herein, the terms "Company", "UEI," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Universal Electronics Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates to the contrary.
Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," and the "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" included in Items 1A, 7, 7A, and 8, respectively, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets, business combinations, income taxes and related valuation allowances and stock-based compensation expense. Actual results may differ from these assumptions and estimates, and they may be adjusted as more information becomes available. Any adjustment may be material.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
With the exception of the following policy, our significant accounting policies are unchanged from those disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Significant Accounting Policy Updates
IEEPA Tariff Refund Claims/ Monetization of Tariff refund claims
During the first quarter of 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were unlawful and therefore invalid. As a result, the Company intended to seek reimbursement from the US Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") for IEEPA tariffs paid during calendar years 2025 and 2026.
The Company has applied the loss recovery guidance under FASB ASC 450
–
Contingencies
to account for the recognition of these claims. Any future recovery of tariff refund claims will be recognized as a receivable when the claim becomes probable and will be reflected as a reduction of cost of goods sold for inventory previously sold, or as a reduction of inventory for goods that remain unsold. In the first quarter of 2026, the Company did not recognize an asset for recovery of tariff refund claims based on available information at that time, and considered recovery was not probable. As of the end of the second quarter of 2026, following a reassessment of the facts and circumstances, management concluded that recovery of the tariff refund claims had become probable. Accordingly, the Company recognized an asset for the expected recovery of the tariff refund claims.
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company entered into the Tariff Claim Agreement with a third-party financial institution ("Buyer") to monetize its claims for refunds of tariffs previously paid to CBP in consideration for the Purchase Price (as defined below), which reflects a discount to the aggregate amount payable by CBP pursuant to the Claims (as defined below) as mutually agreed between the Company and Buyer. The monetization of tariff refund claims was accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 470 – Debt and presented as a short-term financing on the consolidated balance sheet.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-05, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets". This guidance allows entities to elect a practical expedient that assumes that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on a prospective basis for the year beginning January 1, 2026 and elected the practical expedient allowed by ASU. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." This guidance requires additional disclosures by disaggregating the costs and expense line items that are presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning in 2027 and interim periods beginning in 2028, with early adoption permitted. This guidance requires a public company to apply the amendments either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software". This guidance removes all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. Therefore, under the ASU, software capitalization will begin when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and when it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis, or on a modified transition approach or a retrospective transition approach, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures
We have assessed all other ASUs issued but not yet adopted and concluded that those not disclosed are not relevant to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact.

Lines of Credit
U.S. Line of Credit
Our Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended ("Third Amended Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank") provides for a revolving line of credit ("U.S. Credit Line") through September 30, 2027. The U.S. Credit Line may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, share repurchases and capital expenditures.
The U.S. Credit Line has a maximum availability of up to $
60.0
million, subject to meeting certain financial conditions. Availability is based on "Borrowing Base", which is defined as
75
% of accounts receivable aged less than 120 days following their invoice date, less reserves for doubtful accounts and returns. The Borrowing Base is calculated monthly. At September 30, 2026, the U.S. Credit Line total availability was $
47.9
million. At November 4, 2026, the U.S. Credit Line total availability was $
45.2
million.
Amounts available for borrowing under the U.S. Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there was $
1.9
million at September 30, 2026 and $
0.5
million at December 31, 2025. On October 9, 2026, we entered into an additional letter of credit for $
0.7
million.
All obligations under the U.S. Credit Line are secured by substantially all of our U.S. personal property and tangible and intangible assets, as well as a guaranty of the U.S. Credit Line by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Universal Electronics BV.
Under the Third Amended Credit Agreement, we pay interest on the U.S. Credit Line based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("
SOFR
") plus a
3.00
% margin. The Third Amended Credit Agreement also contains a facility fee of
0.25
%. The interest rates in effect at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were
6.75
% and
6.65
%, respectively.
The Third Amended Credit Agreement includes financial covenants and contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Our covenants are based upon a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum cash flow leverage ratio. We were in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Third Amended Credit Agreement at September 30, 2026.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $
0.0
million and $
5.5
million outstanding under the U.S. Credit Line, respectively. At September 30, 2026, our remaining availability under our U.S. Credit Line was $
46.0
million. Our total interest expense on borrowings under the U.S. Credit Line was $
0.0
million and $
0.4
million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our total interest expense on borrowings under the U.S. Credit Line was $
0.4
million and $
1.4
million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our total facility fee expense under the U.S. Credit Line was $

China Line of Credit
In August 2024, our subsidiary, Gemstar Technology (Yangzhou) Co. Ltd. ("GTY"), executed a Line of Credit Agreement (the "Line of Credit Agreement") with the Bank of China, which provides for a revolving line of credit (the "China Credit Line"). As a continuation of the agreement, on July 30, 2025, we executed an amendment to the Line of Credit Agreement, which extends the term of the China Credit Line to July 16, 2026. As a continuation of the agreement, on July 15, 2026, we executed an amendment to the Line of Credit Agreement, which extends the term of the China Credit Line to July 9, 2027. The China Credit Line may be used for working capital purposes.
The China Credit Line had a maximum availability of up to RMB
130.0
million (approximately $
19.4
million), subject to meeting certain financial conditions.
Amounts available for borrowing under the China Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there were
none
at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2026

All obligations under the China Credit Line are secured by GTY's buildings and land use rights.
Under the Line of Credit Agreement, we pay interest on the China Credit Line based on the one-year rate from the National Interbank Funding Center less a
0.1
% margin. There are no associated commitment fees on the China Credit Line. The interest rates in effect at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were
2.86
% and
2.92
%, respectively.
The Line of Credit Agreement includes financial covenants and contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Our covenants are based on a debt to asset ratio and a dividends paid to net income ratio. We were in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Line of Credit Agreement at and during the three months ended September 30, 2026.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had RMB
130.0
million (approximately $
19.4
million) and RMB
130.0
million (approximately $

Monetization of IEEPA Tariff Refund Claims
On June 9, 2026, the Company entered into a Claim Sale and Purchase Agreement (the "Tariff Claim Agreement") with a third party financial institution ("Buyer") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, grant and convey to Buyer all of the Company’s and its affiliates’ claims, interests and causes of action, and all related rights, distributions, amounts, payments related thereto and other proceeds thereof, including without limitation any interest thereon and other amounts paid or reimbursed in relation thereto, directly arising from or relating to tariffs previously paid by the Company or its affiliates to Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) in connection with tariffs originally invoked under the International Emergency Economics Powers Act (“IEEPA”), for which such tariffs were ruled unlawful by the United States Supreme Court on February 20, 2026 (the "Claims"), in consideration for a payment of approximately $
7.6
million (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price reflects a discount to the aggregate amount payable by CBP pursuant to the Claims as mutually agreed between the Company and Buyer and is subject to full or partial refund, together with interest, under certain circumstances in which the Claims may be impaired. The Company is subject to certain post-closing cooperation obligations with Buyer with respect to the Claims.
The Company has received a total of $
9.0
million, including interest, from CBP as of September 30, 2026.
The monetization of the Company`s tariff refund claims were accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 470 – Debt and presented as a short-term financing on the consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2026, the unamortized financing costs amounted to $
46
thousand. The costs are being amortized through the expected settlement date of the claim and recorded in Interest income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. Refer to “Note 1. Basis of Preparation" for related accounting policy update on tariff refund claims.
In connection with the expected recovery of IEEPA tariffs, the Company evaluated its contractual and customary business practices with customers and concluded that a portion of the expected recovery is likely to be refunded to certain customers. These anticipated customer refunds represent consideration payable to customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and therefore reduce the transaction price associated with the related customer contracts. Accordingly, the Company recorded an estimated liability of approximately $
3.9
million as of June 30, 2026 for expected tariff refunds payable to customers, with a corresponding reduction of net sales in the period. As of September 30, 2026, the balance of this estimated liability is $
3.1
million.

Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $
1.4
million and $
2.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We recorded income tax expense of $
6.1
million and $
6.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended September 30, 2026 primarily related to the mix of pre-tax income and loss among jurisdictions and permanent tax items including a tax on net controlled foreign corporation tested income. The Company's income tax provision can be affected by other factors, including changes in tax laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, changes in the valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, and other discrete items.
At December 31, 2025, we assessed the realizability of the Company's deferred tax assets by considering whether it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, and projected future income in making this assessment. At December 31, 2025, we had a three-year world wide cumulative pre-tax loss and have accordingly provided a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets and on certain foreign deferred tax assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded an additional valuation allowance of approximately $
0.1
million against deferred tax assets of our Brazil subsidiary. There were no other significant changes to our valuation allowance position.
Uncertain Tax Positions
At September 30, 2026, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $
3.8
million including interest and penalties, which, if not for the valuation allowance recorded against the state Research and Experimentation income tax credit, would affect the annual effective tax rate if the tax benefits are realized. We have classified uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities unless they are expected to be paid within one year.
Interest and penalties
We have elected to classify interest and penalties as a component of tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties are immaterial at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and are included in the unrecognized tax benefits.
Enactment of H.R.1
On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was enacted in the United States H.R. 1 includes significant provisions, including the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, modifications to the U.S. international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. This legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions that became effective in 2025 and others to be implemented in 2026 and 2027. Due to the U.S. valuation allowance position, the legislation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate or cash tax position.

PRC employers are required by law to remit the applicable social insurance payments to their local government. Social insurance is comprised of various components such as pension, medical insurance, job injury insurance, unemployment insurance, and a housing assistance fund, and is administered in a manner similar to social security in the United States. This amount represents our estimate of the amounts due to the PRC government for social insurance on September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.

Litigation
Roku Matters
UEI and Roku Inc. ("Roku") and certain of its customers have been in litigation in various forums since 2018—i.e.,
two
actions in the Central District of California ("CDCA") beginning in 2018 and 2020 including related cases against certain of Roku's customers (collectively, the "CDCA cases"), the International Trade Commission ("ITC"), the Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO") (
ex parte
reexams) and the Patent and Trademark Appeals Board ("PTAB"). The CDCA cases were all stayed on various grounds. The 2018 case was stayed in November 2019 pending resolution of Roku-initiated PTO and PTAB matters, all of which have since been resolved.
The 2020 case was also immediately stayed due to UEI's related ITC action against Roku, in which UEI ultimately prevailed when in July 2021, the Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") issued an initial determination finding Roku in violation of Section 337. The Commission issued a final determination in November 2021, affirming the ALJ’s finding. The Commission then issued a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order against Roku, which went into effect following the expiration of the Presidential Review Period in January 2022. The Federal Circuit affirmed in January 2024. Following UEI's win and affirmance by the Federal Circuit, Roku sought rehearing
en banc
and sought cert from the Supreme Court on a domestic industry question. In January 2025, the Supreme Court denied cert.
While this ITC matter has been finally resolved and Roku has no more ability to appeal, we agreed to continue the stay of the CDCA cases pending the outcome of one final PTAB action involving one of our patents. UEI and Roku participated in a hearing in July 2025 regarding the consolidation of the 2018 and 2020 cases, the stay of the cases, and amending the claims that UEI would be allowed to move forward with a consolidated case by the court if unstayed. On July 29, 2025, the Judge issued an order lifting the stay, consolidating the cases and allowing UEI to move forward on
25
claims in the case. O
n September 4, 2025, the Court set various dates and deadlines for the case, including a trial date beginning in March 2027, which date has now been rescheduled to a date beginning in May 2027 pursuant to mutual agreement of UEI and Roku. On December 15, 2025, UEI filed a second amended complaint in the consolidated case.
Roku also filed its own retaliatory ITC action against UEI and certain of our customers on
two
patents it purchased for this purpose. Roku’s action failed when in June 2022, the ALJ found one of Roku’s patents to be invalid as indefinite. Thereafter, in June 2022, the ALJ issued its initial determination ("ID") fully exonerating us and our customers, finding Roku’s second patent invalid and that Roku failed to establish the requisite domestic industry and thus no violation of the Tariff Act. Roku and UEI
21

(Unaudited)
filed petitions to appeal certain portions of the ID. In October 2022, the full ITC issued its final determination affirming the ID, ruling there was no violation of the Tariff Act and terminating the investigation. In December 2022, Roku filed an appeal. Further, in October 2023, the PTAB issued its Final Written Decision invalidating all of Roku's infringement claims. Roku also filed an appeal of this decision. On June 17, 2025, the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB decision that invalidated the Roku patent and also remanded the case to the PTAB with respect to
one
remaining claim. On January 21, 2026, the PTAB issued a ruling invalidating the remaining claim, and thus all claims of both asserted patents have been invalidated. As a companion to its ITC request, on April 8, 2021, Roku also filed a lawsuit against us in Federal CDCA alleging that we are infringing the same
two
patents they alleged were infringed in the ITC investigation explained above. On February 27, 2026, Roku voluntarily dismissed this District Court case.
Amazon Litigation
On August 6, 2026, UEI filed a complaint in the CDCA against Amazon.com, Inc., Amazon Web Services Inc. and Amazon.com Services, LLC (collectively, “Amazon”) alleging infringement of
five
UEI patents. On October 9, 2026, Amazon filed a motion to dismiss
three
of the asserted patents.
Court of International Trade Action
On March 18, 2026, we filed a complaint in the Court of International Trade (the "CIT") against the United States of America, U.S. Customs & Border Protection and Rodney S. Scott, U.S. Customs & Border Protection Commissioner, challenging both the substantive and procedural processes related to instituting tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) and seeking declaratory and permanent injunctive relief related to refunding of all IEEPA duties paid by UEI.
Other Litigation Matters
There are no other material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or of which our respective property is the subject. However, as is typical in our industry and to the nature and kind of business in which we are engaged, from time to time, various claims, charges and litigation are asserted or commenced by third parties against us or by us against third parties arising from or related to product liability, infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights, breach of warranty, contractual relations, or employee relations. The amounts claimed may be substantial, but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claims or the extent of any real risk of court awards assessed against us or in our favor. However, no assurances can be made as to the outcome of any of these matters, nor can we estimate the range of potential losses to us. In our opinion, final judgments, if any, which might be rendered against us in potential or pending litigation would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Moreover, we believe that our products do not infringe any third parties' patents or other intellectual property rights.
We maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance which insures our individual directors and officers against certain claims, as well as attorney's fees and related expenses incurred in connection with the defense of such claims.

Treasury Stock
From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes management to repurchase shares of our issued and outstanding common stock. On October 26, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program with an effective date of November 7, 2023 (as subsequently amended, the "Share Repurchase Program"). Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program, we are authorized to repurchase up to
1,000,000
shares of our common stock and to date, we have repurchased
986,444
shares of our common stock. On March 11, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized an amendment to the Share Repurchase Program to authorize the repurchase, from time to time, of up to an additional
1,000,000
shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, or a total of
1,013,556
shares (including the
13,556
shares remaining available under the prior Board authorization for repurchase under the Share Repurchase Program). This authorization will remain in effect until such time as the Board of Directors terminates the authorization or the Share Repurchase Program is executed in full. We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, including in privately negotiated and/or open-market transactions, and pursuant to plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Neither this authorization nor the Share Repurchase Program obligates us to repurchase any shares of our common stock, and any repurchase of shares will be subject to market and other conditions and may be discontinued at any time. We also repurchase shares of our issued and outstanding common stock to satisfy income tax withholding obligations relating to the stock-based compensation of our employees and directors and/or the cost of stock option exercises. There have been no shares repurchased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Other Income (Expense), Net
The Central Bank of Argentina maintains certain currency controls that limit the amount of U.S. Dollars that may be remitted from Argentine entities, including certain of our customers. As a result of these controls, an indirect foreign exchange mechanism known as a Blue Chip Swap ("BCS") emerged in Argentina, which allows entities to remit U.S. Dollars from Argentina through the purchase and sale of BCS securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, in order to collect an open accounts receivable balance with an Argentine customer, we purchased $
2.5
million and sold BCS securities of $
2.3
million and incurred a loss on the transactions of $
0.2
million which is recorded in other income (expense) on our consolidated statements of operations. There has been no activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

We intend for the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations to provide information that will assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our consolidated financial statements.
Macroeconomic Conditions
We have been negatively impacted and we expect to continue to be negatively impacted by adverse macroeconomic conditions, including tariffs imposed or to be imposed on goods manufactured in Vietnam, Taiwan, the PRC, and Mexico, and reduced consumer spending on durable goods. Economic tensions and changes in international trade policies, including widespread tariffs announced by the U.S. on its major trading partners, higher tariffs on imported goods, actions taken in response (such as retaliatory tariffs or other trade protectionist measures or the renegotiation of free trade agreements), could also further impact the global market for our products. The full impact of these governmental actions on macroeconomic conditions and on our business is uncertain and difficult to predict and may result in lower sales and/or cost increases, which would negatively impact our gross margins and overall financial results. Management will continue to seek ways to lessen the impact these pressures may have on our margins and financial results; however, these mitigation efforts may not be successful and these pressures may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Brazil Operations Closure
In October 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to close the Company’s manufacturing operations in Brazil as part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its global manufacturing footprint and cost structure. The Company expects the wind-down of the Brazil operations to be substantially completed during the first quarter of 2027.
The Company currently estimates that it will incur approximately $4.2 million to $5.0 million in costs associated with the closure, primarily consisting of employee severance and other facility closure costs. These costs are expected to be recognized

in future periods as the applicable recognition criteria are met. The ultimate amount and timing of the charges may differ from the Company’s current estimates.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation and income taxes. Actual results may differ from these judgments and estimates, and they may be adjusted as more information becomes available. Any adjustment may be significant and may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
An accounting estimate is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably may have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur may materially impact the financial statements. We do not believe that there have been any significant changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents
Net sales in connected home were $33.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $29.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This increase is driven primarily by stronger sales in the HVAC market and increased sales of recently launched thermostat products.
Net sales in home entertainment were $55.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $60.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was driven primarily by lower demand for subscription broadcasting products, particularly basic remote controls with lower price points and limited or no advanced features. The decline was partially offset by improved performance in our retail sales compared with the prior-year period.
Gross profit
. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $23.6 million compared to $25.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 26.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from 27.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The 140-basis-point decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by higher component costs due to market conditions and the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar relative to the Chinese renminbi, which reduced gross margin by approximately 420 basis points and 170 basis points, respectively. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by a favorable sales mix impact of approximately 140 basis points, approximately 170 basis points of lower labor and manufacturing costs resulting from productivity improvements and the closure of our Mexico manufacturing facility, and approximately 140 basis points from lower tariff rates.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses.
R&D expenses decreased to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 attributable to reductions in payroll and related personnel expenses following headcount optimization actions.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.
SG&A expenses decreased to $16.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $22.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The prior-year period included a one-time charge of $1.3 million related to the abandonment of an office lease. Excluding this item, the decrease primarily reflected ongoing cost-reduction initiatives, including organizational rightsizing, which resulted in lower people-related expenses. People-related expenses decreased by $2.2 million, and severance costs associated with headcount reductions decreased by $1.5 million. Discretionary spending, including travel and professional fees, is also under continued cost-control measures, resulting in $0.7 million net savings.
Interest income (expense), net.
Interest expense, net increased to $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to $0.7 million of interest expense associated with the accounting for the sale of tariff claims. Interest expense associated with our line of credit was largely offset by interest income earned on higher cash balances resulting from our stronger cash flow position.
Other income (expense), net.
Other expense, net was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to other expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Other expense, net for the 2026 period included a $0.6 million loss on the disposal of fixed assets and foreign currency losses incurred during the period.
Provision for income taxes.
Income tax expense was $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, relative to a pre-tax income of $1.1 million, compared to income tax expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, relative to a pre-tax loss of $5.8 million. Consistent with 2025, we expect the U.S. to be in a pre-tax loss position without benefit for the full year 2026, resulting in an elevated effective tax rate.

Table of Contents
Net sales in connected home were $87.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $95.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower demand from our larger connected home customers.
Net sales in home entertainment were $154.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $184.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower demand for subscription broadcasting products, particularly basic remote controls with lower price points and limited or no advanced features. Sales in our retail business remained essentially flat compared with the prior-year period.
Gross profit
. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $70.1 million compared to $80.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 29.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from 28.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by the sale of tariff claims and the associated mix impact, together with lower tariff rates, which collectively contributed approximately 260 basis points, and improved management of inbound freight costs, which contributed approximately 60 basis points. These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher component costs resulting from market conditions, and the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar relative to the Chinese Renminbi, which reduced gross margin by approximately 220 basis points and 100 basis points, respectively.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses.
R&D expenses decreased to $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 attributable to reductions in payroll and related personnel expenses following headcount optimization actions.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.
SG&A expenses decreased to $52.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from $65.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The prior-year period included a one-time charge of $1.3 million related to the abandonment of an office lease. Excluding this item, the decrease primarily reflected ongoing cost-reduction initiatives, including organizational rightsizing. People-related expenses decreased by $8.7 million, and severance costs associated with headcount reductions decreased by $0.9 million. The decrease also reflected $0.6 million in lower volume-driven expenses, consistent with the decline in sales volume, as well as $0.7 million in lower rental expense and $2.0 million in lower discretionary spending, including travel, professional fees and other expenses. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable.
Interest income (expense), net.
Interest expense, net decreased to $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The 2026 period included $0.8 million of interest expense associated with the sale of tariff claims. This expense was more than offset by lower interest expense on our line of credit, primarily due to a lower average outstanding loan balance and lower interest rates.
Other income (expense), net.
Other expense, net was $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The 2026 period includes a $0.6 million increase in losses on the disposal of fixed assets and foreign currency losses incurred during the period.
Provision for income taxes.
Income tax expense was $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, relative to a pre-tax income of $0.1 million, compared to income tax expense of $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, relative to a pre-tax loss of $10.9 million. Consistent with 2025, we expect the U.S. to be in a pre-tax loss position without benefit for the full year 2026, resulting in an elevated effective tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Cash
Historically, we have utilized cash provided from operations as our primary source of liquidity, as internally generated cash flows have typically been sufficient to support our business operations, capital expenditures and discretionary share repurchases. When needed, we have utilized our revolving lines of credit to fund operations, share repurchases and acquisitions. We anticipate that we will continue to utilize both cash flows from operations and our revolving lines of credit to support ongoing business operations, capital expenditures, discretionary share repurchases and potential acquisitions. We believe our current cash balances, anticipated cash flow to be generated from operations and available borrowing resources will be sufficient to cover expected cash outlays for at least the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter; however, because our cash is located in various jurisdictions throughout the world, we may at times need to increase borrowing from our revolving lines of credit or take on additional debt until we are able to transfer cash among our various entities.

– On September 30, 2026, we had $13.4 million, $6.7 million, $4.6 million, $4.5 million and $12.2 million of cash and cash equivalents in Europe, the PRC, South America, Asia (excluding the PRC), and North America, respectively. We attempt to mitigate our exposure to liquidity, credit and other relevant risks by placing our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions we believe are high quality.
Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. The majority of our cash is held outside of the United States and may be repatriated to the United States but, under current law, may be subject to federal and state income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. Additionally, repatriation of some foreign balances is restricted by local laws.
Available Borrowing Resources
– Our Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Third Amended Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank") provides for a revolving line of credit ("U.S. Credit Line") through September 30, 2027. The U.S. Credit Line may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, share repurchases and capital expenditures.
The U.S. Credit Line has a maximum availability of up to $60.0 million, subject to meeting certain financial conditions. Availability is based on "Borrowing Base", which is defined as 75% of accounts receivable aged less than 120 days following their invoice date, less reserves for doubtful accounts and returns. The Borrowing Base is calculated monthly. At September 30, 2026, the U.S. Credit Line total availability was $47.9 million. At November 4, 2026, the U.S. Credit Line total availability was $45.2 million.
Amounts available for borrowing under the U.S. Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there were $1.9 million at September 30, 2026 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2025. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $0.0 million and $5.5 million outstanding under the U.S. Credit Line, respectively. At September 30, 2026, our remaining availability under our U.S. Credit Line was $46.0 million. On October 9, 2026, we entered into an additional letter of credit for $0.7 million.
Our subsidiary, Gemstar Technology (Yangzhou) Co. Ltd. ("GTY"), has a Line of Credit Agreement ("Line of Credit Agreement") with the Bank of China, which provides for a revolving line of credit ("China Credit Line" and, together with the U.S. Credit Line, "Credit Lines"). As a continuation of the agreement, on July 30, 2025, we executed an amendment to the Line of Credit Agreement, which extends the term of the China Credit Line to July 16, 2026. As a continuation of the agreement, on July 15, 2026, we executed an amendment to the Line of Credit Agreement, which extends the term of the China Credit Line to July 9, 2027.
The China Credit Line may be used for working capital purposes.
At September 30, 2026, the China Credit Line had a maximum availability of up to RMB 130.0 million (approximately $19.4 million), subject to meeting certain financial conditions.
The China Credit Line may be used for working capital purposes. Amounts available for borrowing under the China Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there were none at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. At September 30, 2026, we had an outstanding balance of RMB 130.0 million (approximately $19.4 million) on our China Credit Line and RMB 0.0 million (approximately $0.0 million) of availability under our China Credit Line.
On June 9, 2026, the Company entered into a Claim Sale and Purchase Agreement (the "Tariff Claim Agreement") with a third party financial institution ("Buyer") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, grant and convey to Buyer all of the Company’s and its affiliates’ claims, interests and causes of action, and all related rights, distributions, amounts, payments related thereto and other proceeds thereof, including without limitation any interest thereon and other amounts paid or reimbursed in relation thereto, directly arising from or relating to tariffs previously paid by the Company or its affiliates to Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) in connection with tariffs originally invoked under the International Emergency Economics Powers Act (“IEEPA”), for which such tariffs were ruled unlawful by the United States Supreme Court on February 20, 2026 (the "Claims"), in consideration for a payment of approximately $7.6 million (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price reflects a discount to the aggregate amount payable by CBP pursuant to the Claims as mutually agreed between the Company and Buyer and is subject to full or partial refund, together with interest, under certain circumstances in which the Claims may be impaired. The Company is subject to certain post-closing cooperation obligations with Buyer with respect to the Claims. The Company has received a total of $9.0 million, including interest, from CBP as of September 30, 2026.

Table of Contents
In connection with the expected recovery of IEEPA tariffs, the Company evaluated its contractual and customary business practices with customers and concluded that a portion of the expected recovery is likely to be refunded to certain customers. These anticipated customer refunds represent consideration payable to customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and therefore reduce the transaction price associated with the related customer contracts. Accordingly, the Company recorded an estimated liability of approximately $3.9 million as of June 30, 2026 for expected tariff refunds payable to customers, with a corresponding reduction of net sales in the period. As of September 30, 2026, the balance of this estimated liability is $3.1 million.
See Note 8 contained in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information regarding our Credit Lines and monetization of Tariff Refund Claims.

Net loss was $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared
to net loss of $17.5 million in the prior-year period. Depreciation and amortization expense was $9.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $11.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to lower capital expenditures in recent years, consistent with the decline in production volumes. Inventories decreased by $8.2 million during nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to a decrease of $1.4 million during the same period in 2025, reflecting improved inventory management practices. A decrease in accounts receivable and contract assets, mainly due to lower sales, resulted in cash inflows of $5.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and outflows of $38.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Days sales outstanding were 71 days at September 30, 2026, compared to 72 days at September 30, 2025. An increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, primarily driven by higher inventory purchases and timing of payments, resulted in cash inflows of $4.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to outflows of $22.2 million in the prior-year period.
Net cash used for investing activities during the
nine months ended September 30, 2026
was $3.5 million, of which $2.7 million and $1.2 million was used for capital expenditures and the development of patents, respectively. Net cash used for investing activities during the
nine months ended September 30, 2025
was $5.7 million, of which $3.1 million and $2.3 million was used for capital expenditures and the development of patents, respectively. These outflows were partially offset by $0.3 million proceeds received on the sales of property, plant, and equipment.
Future cash flows used for investing activities are largely dependent on the timing and amount of capital expenditures and the development of patents, respectively. We estimate that we will incur between $1.0 million and $1.5 million during the remainder of 2026.
Net cash used for financing activities
was $6.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $19.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The primary financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 consisted of borrowings and repayments under our Credit Lines and other short-term financing

arrangements, as well as repurchases of shares of our common stock. Net repayments on our Credit Lines were $5.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $19.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we had net repayments of $1.1 million related to proceeds from the sale of tariff claims that were accounted for as short-term financing. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we did not repurchase any of our common stock, compared to our repurchase of 107,000 shares at a cost of $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Future cash flows used for financing activities are affected by our financing needs, which are largely dependent on the level of cash provided by or used in operations and the level of cash used in investing activities. Additionally, potential future repurchases of shares of our common stock and dividend payments will impact our cash flows used for financing activities. See Note 13 contained in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information regarding our share repurchase programs.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Rule 13a-15(d) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") defines "disclosure controls and procedures" to mean controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. The definition further states that disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to lawsuits arising out of the conduct of our business. The discussion of our litigation matters contained in Note 12 to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The reader should carefully consider, in connection with the other information in this report, the risk factors discussed in "Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors" of the 2025 Form 10-K and in the periodic reports we have filed since then. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from those stated in forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and elsewhere.
We may be unable to realize the level of the anticipated benefits that we expect from exiting facilities and restructuring our operations, which may adversely impact our business and results of operations.
From time to time, we may decide to exit certain facilities or otherwise undertake restructuring, reorganization, or other strategic initiatives to realign our resources with our growth strategies, operate more efficiently, and reduce costs. For example, we currently expect to complete the shutdown of manufacturing operations at our facility located in Manaus, Brazil, during the quarter ending March 31, 2027, and we completed the shutdown of our manufacturing facility in Mexico during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. We may not realize the level of anticipated benefits/cost savings that we expect to obtain from such facility shutdowns, and may incur costs, including without limitation severance costs and contract termination costs, that exceed our current forecasts.
The successful implementation of our restructuring activities may from time to time require us to effect business and asset dispositions, workforce reductions, additional facility consolidations and closures, restructurings, management changes, reductions in investments, shut-downs or discontinuance of businesses, and other actions, each of which may depend on a number of factors that may not be within our control. Any such effort to restructure or streamline our organization may result in restructuring or other costs, such as severance and termination costs, contract and lease termination costs, asset impairment charges, and other costs.
Further, as a result of restructuring initiatives, we may experience a loss of continuity, loss of accumulated knowledge and proficiency, adverse effects on employee morale, loss of key employees and other retention issues. Reorganization and restructuring can impact a significant amount of management and other employees’ time and resources, which may divert attention from operating and growing our business. Further, upon completion of any restructuring initiatives, our business may not be more efficient or effective than prior to the implementation of the plan and we may be unable to achieve anticipated benefits, including cost savings, which would adversely affect our business, competitive position, operating results, and financial condition.
Changes in our executive management and Board of Directors may create uncertainty, and if we are unable to successfully manage these transitions or attract and retain qualified management and key personnel, our business could be adversely affected.
In August of 2026, we experienced significant changes in our executive leadership, including the departure of the previous interim Chief Executive Officer, Richard K. Carnifax and the appointment of Wade Jenke as our President and Chief Executive Officer, Sui Man Ho (a.k.a. Raymond Ho) as our Chief Financial Officer, and Lee Haughawout as our Chief Operating Officer. These changes represent further transitions in our senior leadership team and followed additional changes that occurred earlier in the current fiscal year, including the retirement of Ramzi Ammari as our Senior Vice President, Corporate Planning and Strategy of Universal Electronics Inc. in May 2026, the departure from our Board of Directors of Sue Ann R. Hamilton in June 2026, and the determinations by each of William C. Mulligan and Romulo Pontual not to stand for re-election at our 2026 Annual Meeting. We also experienced significant changes to our senior management and Board of Directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, including the retirement of our Chief Executive Officer, Paul D. Arling, in May 2025, the
37
Table of Contents
retirement of our Chief Financial Officer, Bryan M. Hackworth, in September 2025, the retirement of David Chong as our Executive Vice President, Global Sales, in December 2025, and the retirement of Board member and Audit Committee Chairman, Edward K. Zinser, in August 2025.
Although we endeavor to implement management transitions in a non-disruptive manner, such transitions can be inherently difficult to manage and may affect our ability to meet our financial and operational objectives. Changes in executive leadership may also create uncertainty among our customers, investors, vendors, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders regarding our future direction, strategy, and performance. In addition, replacing executive officers and other key employees can be difficult and may require significant time because of the limited number of individuals with the skills and experience required for these positions. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, our ability to execute our strategy and business plans could be adversely affected.
Our future performance will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully manage these leadership transitions, integrate newly appointed executive officers into their roles and maintain effective working relationships among members of senior management and our Board of Directors. Failure to effectively manage these transitions or retain other key personnel could result in operational inefficiencies, disruption to our business and difficulty executing our strategic initiatives, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Increases in component costs, shortage, and supply constraints could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may experience increases in the cost of certain components, raw materials and other materials used in our products, as well as shortages, supply constraints, or extended lead times for certain components. Such cost increases or supply disruptions may result from a variety of factors, including changes in global supply and demand, transportation and logistics constraints, inflationary pressures, supplier capacity limitations, and disruptions affecting our suppliers or their supply chains.
We may not be able to fully or timely offset higher component and material costs through customer pricing actions, cost reductions, productivity improvements, alternative sourcing arrangements, or other measures. Our ability to pass higher costs through to customers may also be limited by competitive conditions, contractual arrangements, customer negotiations, and the timing of price adjustments. In addition, shortages, or delays in the availability of components could disrupt our manufacturing operations, increase procurement and logistics costs, delay product shipments, or adversely affect our ability to meet customer demand.
Accordingly, increases in component and material costs, particularly if combined with component shortages, could adversely affect our gross margins, operating results, cash flows and profitability.

On March 11, 2026 our Board of Directors authorized an amendment to the Company's Share Repurchase Program that had been originally approved in October 2023 (as subsequently amended, the "Share Repurchase Program") to authorize the repurchase, from time to time, of up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, or a total of 1,013,556 shares (including the 13,556 shares remaining available under prior Board authorization for repurchase under the Share Repurchase Program). This authorization will remain in effect until such time as the Board of Directors terminates the authorization or the Share Repurchase Program is executed in full. We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, including in privately negotiated and/or open-market transactions, and pursuant to plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Neither this authorization nor the Share Repurchase Program obligates us to repurchase any shares of our common stock, and any repurchase of shares will be subject to market and other conditions and may be discontinued at any time.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
