NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2022

(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. 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," "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 six months ended June 30, 2022 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, 2021.

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, intangible assets and goodwill; business combinations; income taxes and related valuation allowances; stock-based compensation expense and performance-based common stock warrants.

The coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and the efforts to contain it has made estimates more difficult and subjective. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

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, 2021.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of a good or service is transferred to a customer. Control is considered to be transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of that good or service. Revenues are primarily generated from manufacturing, shipping and supporting control and sensor technology solutions and a broad line of pre-programmed and universal control products, AV accessories, and intelligent wireless security and smart home products that are used in the video services, consumer electronics, security, home automation, climate control, and home appliance market, which are sold through multiple channels, and licensing intellectual property that is embedded in these products or licensed to others for use in their products. We also generate revenues from a cloud-based software solution enabling software updates, digital rights management provisioning and remote technical support to consumer electronics customers.

We recognize service revenues related to our cloud-based software solution on an over-time basis, as our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by our performance. Revenues are recognized over the period during which the performance obligations are satisfied, and control of the service is transferred to the customers.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Term Deposit

Cash and cash equivalents include cash accounts and all investments purchased with initial maturities of three months or less. Our term deposit has an initial maturity of one year. Domestically, we generally maintain balances in excess of federally insured limits. We attempt to mitigate our exposure to liquidity, credit and other relevant risks by placing our cash, cash equivalents and term deposit with financial institutions we believe are high quality. These financial institutions are located in

(Unaudited)

many different geographic regions. As part of our cash and risk management processes, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of our financial institutions. We have not sustained credit losses from instruments held at financial institutions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers". This guidance requires an entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". At the acquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue recognition model as if it had originated the acquired contracts. Our adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recent Accounting Updates Not Yet Effective

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting", and in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform". This guidance is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The amendments in these ASUs are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities through December 31, 2022. These amendments are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 2 — Cash, Cash Equivalents and Term Deposit

Cash and cash equivalents were held in the following geographic regions:

(In thousands)	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

On January 25, 2022, we entered into a one-year term deposit cash account with Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A., denominated in Brazilian Real. The term deposit earns interest at a variable annual rate based upon the Brazilian CDI overnight interbank rate. At June 30, 2022, the balance of the term deposit was $7.8 million. The term deposit is accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis using level one inputs.

On April 7, 2022, we agreed upon terms to a lease agreement for 125,000 square feet of factory space in Vietnam, with a term commencing in the third quarter of 2022 and continuing through December 1, 2034. As of the date of filing, this lease has not yet been signed. The total initial lease liability associated with this lease is approximately $4.1 million, which is not reflected within the maturity schedule above.

Note 8 — Line of Credit

Our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Second Amended Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank") provides for a $125.0 million revolving line of credit ("Credit Line") that expires on November 1, 2023. The Credit Line may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, share repurchases and capital expenditures. Amounts available for borrowing under the Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there were $2.7 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

All obligations under the 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 Credit Line by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Universal Electronics BV.

Under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, we may elect to pay interest on the Credit Line based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 1.75%) or base rate (based on the prime rate of U.S. Bank or as otherwise specified in the Second Amended Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.00% to 0.50%). The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on our cash flow leverage ratio as set forth in the Second Amended Credit Agreement. The interest rates in effect at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were 3.04% and 1.35%, respectively. There are no commitment fees or unused line fees under the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

On December 31, 2021, the process of cessation of LIBOR as a reference rate began. Between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2023, any borrowings under our existing Second Amended Credit Agreement may continue to use LIBOR as the basis for interest rates. If the Second Amended Credit Agreement is amended or replaced during this period, any borrowings will no longer use LIBOR as a reference rate and instead will be subject to an interest rate based on either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), which is deemed a replacement benchmark for LIBOR under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, or an alternate index to be agreed upon. After June 30, 2023, all borrowings will be based on SOFR or the alternate index.

The Second Amended Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum cash flow leverage ratio. In addition, the Second Amended Credit Agreement contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. At June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $88.0 million and $56.0 million outstanding under the Credit Line, respectively. Our total interest expense on borrowings was $0.6 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our total interest expense on borrowings was $0.9 million and $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 9 — Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $1.6 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recorded income tax expense of $4.0 million and $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The income tax rate recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased primarily due to the mix of pre‐tax income among jurisdictions, including losses not benefited as a result of a valuation allowance. In addition, the tax incentive refund received in China during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was greater than the refund received during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to the mix of pre-tax income and loss among jurisdictions and permanent tax items including a tax on global intangible low-taxed income. The permanent tax item related to global intangible low-taxed income also reflects recent legislative changes requiring the capitalization of research and experimentation costs, as well as limitations on the creditability of certain foreign income taxes.

At December 31, 2021, 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 taxable income in carryback years, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. At December 31, 2021, we had a three-year cumulative operating loss for our U.S. operations and accordingly, have provided a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there was no change to our valuation allowance position.

At June 30, 2022, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $3.2 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 these tax benefits are realized. Further, we are unaware of any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase within the next twelve months. Based on federal, state and foreign statute expirations in various jurisdictions, we do not anticipate a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. We have classified uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities unless they are expected to be paid within one year.

We have elected to classify interest and penalties as a component of tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties are immaterial at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and are included in the unrecognized tax benefits.

Litigation

Roku Matters

2018 Lawsuit

On September 5, 2018, we filed a lawsuit against Roku, Inc. ("Roku") in the United States District Court, Central District of California, alleging that Roku is willfully infringing nine of our patents that are in four patent families related to remote control set-up and touchscreen remotes. On December 5, 2018, we amended our complaint to add additional details supporting our infringement and willfulness allegations. We have alleged that this complaint relates to multiple Roku streaming players and components therefor and certain universal control devices, including but not limited to the Roku App, Roku TV, Roku Express, Roku Streaming Stick, Roku Ultra, Roku Premiere, Roku 4, Roku 3, Roku 2, Roku Enhanced Remote and any other Roku product that provides for the remote control of an external device such as a TV, audiovisual receiver, sound bar or Roku TV Wireless Speakers. In October 2019, the Court stayed this lawsuit pending action by the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (the "PTAB") with respect to Roku's Inter Partes Review ("IPR") requests (see discussion below). This lawsuit continues to be stayed until such time as the IPR requests and all appeals with respect to them have concluded.

International Trade Commission Investigation of Roku, TCL, Hisense and Funai

On April 16, 2020, we filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission (the "ITC") against Roku, TCL Electronics Holding Limited and related entities (collectively, "TCL"), Hisense Co., Ltd. and related entities (collectively, "Hisense"), and Funai Electric Company, Ltd. and related entities (collectively, "Funai") claiming that certain of their televisions, set-top boxes, remote control devices, human interface devices, streaming devices, and sound bars infringe certain of our patents. We asked the ITC to issue a permanent limited exclusion order prohibiting the importation of these infringing products into the United States and a cease and desist order to stop these parties from continuing their infringing activities. On May 18, 2020, the ITC announced that it instituted its investigation as requested by us. Prior to the trial, which ended on April 23, 2021, we released TCL, Hisense and Funai from this investigation as they removed our technology from their televisions. On July 9, 2021, the Administrative Law Judge (the "ALJ") issued his Initial Determination (the "ID") finding that Roku is infringing our patents and as a result is in violation of §337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the "Tariff Act"). On July 23, 2021, Roku and we filed petitions to appeal certain portions of the ID. On November 10, 2021, the full ITC issued its final determination affirming the ID and issuing a Limited Exclusion Order and Cease and Desist Order against Roku which became effective on January 9, 2022.

2020 Lawsuit

As a companion case to our ITC complaint, on April 9, 2020, we filed separate actions against each of Roku, TCL, Hisense, and Funai in the United States District Court, Central District of California, alleging that Roku is willfully infringing five of our patents and TCL, Hisense, and Funai are willfully infringing six of our patents by incorporating our patented technology into certain of their televisions, set-top boxes, remote control devices, human interface devices, streaming devices and sound bars. These matters have been and continue to be stayed pending the final results of the open IPR matters mentioned below.

Inter Partes Reviews

Throughout these litigation matters against Roku and the others identified above, Roku has filed multiple IPR requests with the PTAB on all patents at issue in the 2018 Lawsuit, the ITC Action, and the 2020 Lawsuit (see discussion above). To date, the PTAB has denied Roku's request thirteen times, granted Roku's request eleven times and we are awaiting the PTAB's institution decision with respect to the remaining two IPR requests. Of the eleven IPR requests granted by the PTAB, the results were mixed, with the PTAB upholding the validity of many of our patent claims and invalidating others. We have and will appeal any PTAB decision that resulted in an invalidation of our patent claims.

International Trade Commission Investigation Request Made by Roku against UEI and certain UEI Customers

On April 8, 2021, Roku made a request to the ITC to initiate an investigation against us and certain of our customers claiming that certain of our and those customers' remote control devices and televisions infringe two of Roku's recently acquired patents, the '511 patent and the '875 patent. On May 10, 2021, the ITC announced its decision to initiate the requested investigation. Immediately prior to trial Roku withdrew its complaint against us and two of our customers with respect to one of the two patents at issue. This released the complaint against us and two of our customers with respect to that patent. The trial was thus shortened and ended on January 24, 2022. On June 24, 2022, the ALJ found the '511 patent invalid as indefinite. Thereafter, on June 28, 2022, the ALJ issued her ID fully exonerating us and our customers finding the '875 patent invalid and that Roku failed to prove it established the requisite domestic industry and thus no violation of the Tariff Act. As is standard practice, the full commission will review the ID which is presently set for October 28, 2022. In advance of the full Commission's review, Roku and we filed petitions to appeal certain portions of the ID. As a companion to its ITC request, Roku also filed a lawsuit against us and certain of our customers in Federal District Court in the Central District of California alleging that we are infringing the same patents they alleged being infringed in the ITC investigation explained above. This District Court case has been and will continue to be stayed pending the conclusion of the ITC investigation.

Court of International Trade Action against the United States of America, et. al.

On October 9, 2020, we and our subsidiaries, Ecolink Intelligent Technology, Inc. ("Ecolink") and RCS Technology, LLC ("RCS"), filed an amended complaint (20-cv-00670) in the Court of International Trade (the "CIT") against the United States of America; the Office of the United States Trade Representative; Robert E. Lighthizer, U.S. Trade Representative; U.S. Customs & Border Protection; and Mark A. Morgan, U.S. Customs & Border Protection Acting Commissioner, challenging both the substantive and procedural processes followed by the United States Trade Representative ("USTR") when instituting Section 301 Tariffs on imports from China under Lists 3 and 4A.

Pursuant to this complaint, we, Ecolink and RCS are alleging that USTR's institution of Lists 3 and 4A tariffs violated the Trade Act of 1974 (the "Trade Act") on the grounds that the USTR failed to make a determination or finding that there was an unfair trade practice that required a remedy and moreover, that Lists 3 and 4A tariffs were instituted beyond the 12-month time limit provided for in the governing statute. We, Ecolink and RCS also allege that the manner in which the Lists 3 and 4A tariff actions were implemented violated the Administrative Procedures Act (the "APA") by failing to provide adequate opportunity for comments, failed to consider relevant factors when making its decision and failed to connect the record facts to the choices it made by not explaining how the comments received by USTR came to shape the final implementation of Lists 3 and 4A.

We, Ecolink and RCS are asking the CIT to declare that the defendants' actions resulting in the tariffs on products covered by Lists 3 and 4A are unauthorized by and contrary to the Trade Act and were arbitrarily and unlawfully promulgated in violation of the APA; to vacate the Lists 3 and 4A tariffs; to order a refund (with interest) of any Lists 3 and 4A duties paid by us, Ecolink and RCS; to permanently enjoin the U.S. government from applying Lists 3 and 4A duties against us, Ecolink and RCS; and award us, Ecolink and RCS our costs and reasonable attorney's fees.

In July 2021, the CIT issued a preliminary injunction suspending liquidation of all unliquidated entries subject to Lists 3 and 4A duties and has asked the parties to develop a process to keep track of the entries to efficiently and effectively deal with liquidation process and duties to be paid or refunded when finally adjudicated. On February 5, 2022, the CIT heard oral arguments on dispositive motions filed on behalf of plaintiffs and defendants. On April 1, 2022, the CIT issued its opinion on these dispositive motions, ruling that the USTR had the legal authority to promulgate List 3 and List 4A under Section 307(a)(1)(B) of the Trade Act, but that the USTR violated the APA when it promulgated List 3 and List 4A concluding that the USTR failed to adequately explain its decision as required under the APA. The Court ordered that List 3 and List 4A be remanded to the USTR for reconsideration or further explanation regarding its rationale for imposing the tariffs. The Court declined to vacate List 3 and List 4A, which means that they are still in place while on remand. The Court’s preliminary injunction regarding liquidation of entries also remains in effect. The Court set a deadline of June 30, 2022, for the USTR to complete this process. During June, the Court extended this deadline to August 1, 2022.

There are no other material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries is 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.

From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes management to repurchase shares of our issued and outstanding common stock. On February 10, 2022, our Board approved a share repurchase program with an effective date of February 22, 2022 (the "February 2022 Program"). Pursuant to the February 2022 Program, we were authorized to repurchase up to 300,000 shares of our common stock until the Program's expiration on May 5, 2022. Per the terms of the February 2022 Program, we could utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, including open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases or open market solicitations for shares, some or all of which could be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. As of May 2, 2022, we repurchased the full 300,000 shares under the February 2022 Program.

Note 15 — Performance-Based Common Stock Warrants

On March 9, 2016, we issued common stock purchase warrants to Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") at a price of $54.55 per share. At June 30, 2022, 275,000 of these warrants were vested and outstanding. All vested warrants will expire on January 1, 2023. The warrants provide for certain adjustments that may be made to the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise due to customary anti-dilution provisions. Additionally, in connection with the common stock purchase warrants, we have also entered into a registration rights agreement with Comcast under which Comcast may from time to time request that we register the shares of common stock underlying vested warrants with the SEC.

Note 19 — Business Combination

On February 17, 2022, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of Qterics, a U.S.-based provider of multimedia connectivity solutions and services for internet-enabled consumer products. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA"), we paid a cash purchase price of approximately $0.9 million. The acquisition of these assets will allow us to expand our customer base in the OEM market.

Our consolidated income statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 includes net sales of $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and net income of $9.2 thousand and $0.1 million, respectively, attributable to Qterics for the period commencing on February 17, 2022.

In accordance with the terms of the APA, the initial purchase price was subject to adjustment for differences between the initial estimated working capital balances and the final adjusted balances. This calculation was completed at March 31, 2022.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

Using the acquisition method of accounting, the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The calculation of the fair value of deferred revenue has not been finalized, pending the determination of the appropriate service period over which to recognize revenue. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Management's preliminary purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2022 was the following:

(In thousands)	Estimated Lives	Preliminary Fair Value
Accounts receivable		$	787
Property, plant and equipment	5 years	3
Customer relationships	6 years	1,340
Developed technology	6 years	440
Trade names	6 years	50
Goodwill		713
Operating lease ROU assets	3 years	149
Other assets		2
Other accrued liabilities		(6)
Short-term operating lease obligation		(48)
Deferred revenue		(1,539)
Long-term operating lease obligation		(101)
Long-term deferred revenue		(851)
Cash paid		$	939

Management's determination of the fair value of intangible assets acquired are based primarily on significant inputs not observable in an active market and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements as defined under U.S. GAAP.

The fair value assigned to the Qterics developed technology and trade names intangible assets were determined utilizing a relief from royalty method. Under the relief from royalty method, the fair value of the intangible asset is estimated to be the present value of the royalties saved because the company owns the intangible asset. Revenue projections and estimated useful life were significant inputs into estimating the value of the Qterics developed technology and trade names.

The fair value assigned to Qterics customer relationships intangible assets were determined utilizing a multi-period excess earnings approach. Under the multi-period excess earnings approach, the fair value of the intangible asset is estimated to be the present value of future earnings attributable to the asset and utilizes revenue and cost projections, including an assumed contributory asset charge.

The developed technology, trade names and customer relationships intangible assets are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Pro Forma Results (unaudited)

The unaudited pro forma financial information of combined results of our operations and the operations of Qterics as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2021, is immaterially different from the net sales, net income and income per share amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Overview

We design, develop, manufacture, ship and support control and sensor technology solutions and a broad line of universal control systems, audio-video ("AV") accessories, and intelligent wireless security and smart home products that are used by the world's leading brands in the video services, consumer electronics, security, home automation, climate control, and home appliance markets. Our product and technology offerings include:

•easy-to-use, voice-enabled, automatically-programmed universal remote controls with two-way radio frequency ("RF") as well as infrared ("IR") remote controls, that are sold primarily to video service providers (cable, satellite, Internet Protocol television ("IPTV") and Over the Top ("OTT") services), original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), retailers, and private label customers;

•integrated circuits ("ICs"), on which our software and universal device control database is embedded, sold primarily to OEMs, video service providers, and private label customers;

•software, firmware and technology solutions that can enable devices such as TVs, set-top boxes, audio systems, smart speakers, game controllers and other consumer electronic and smart home devices to wirelessly connect and interact with home networks and interactive services to control and deliver home entertainment, smart home services and device or system information;

•cloud-services that support our embedded software and hardware solutions (directly or indirectly) enabling software update and device provisioning services, as well as real-time device identification and system control with billions of transactions per year in device and data management;

•intellectual property that we license primarily to OEMs and video service providers;

26

Table of Contents

•AV accessories sold, directly and indirectly, to consumers including universal remote controls, television wall mounts and stands and digital television antennas.

A key factor in creating products and software for control of entertainment devices is our proprietary device knowledge graph. Since our beginning in 1986, we have compiled an extensive device control knowledge library that includes over 13,100 brands comprising over 1,013,000 device models across AV and smart home platforms, supported by many common smart home protocols, including IR, HDMI-CEC, Zigbee (Rf4CE) Z-Wave, and IP, as well as Home Network and Cloud Control.

This device knowledge graph is backed by our unique device fingerprinting technology, which includes nearly 32.6 million unique device fingerprints across both AV and Smart Home devices.

Our technology also includes other remote controlled home entertainment devices and home automation control modules, as well as wired Consumer Electronics Control ("CEC") and wireless IP control protocols commonly found on many of the latest HDMI and internet connected devices. Our proprietary software automatically detects, identifies and enables the appropriate control commands for many home entertainment and automation devices in the home. Our libraries are continuously updated with device control codes used in newly introduced AV and Internet of Things devices. These control codes are captured directly from original control devices or from the manufacturers' written specifications to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the library. Our proprietary software and know-how permit us to offer a device control code database that is more robust and efficient than similarly priced products of our competitors.

We hold a number of patents in the United States and abroad related to our products and technology and have filed domestic and foreign applications for other patents that are pending. At June 30, 2022, we had 670 issued and pending U.S. patents related to remote control, home security, safety and automation as well as hundreds of foreign counterpart patents and applications in various territories around the world.

We operate as one business segment. We have two domestic subsidiaries and 25 international subsidiaries located in Brazil, British Virgin Islands, France, Germany, Hong Kong (3), India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico (2), the Netherlands, People's Republic of China (the "PRC") (7), Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom and Vietnam.

To recap our results for the three months ended June 30, 2022:

•Net sales decreased 7.6% to $139.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $150.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

•Our gross margin percentage decreased to 28.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from 29.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Table of Contents

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.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Supply Chain Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has been and continues to be a complex and rapidly-evolving situation, and with the emergence of the COVID-19 Omicron variant, it continues to have a material impact on our business. Local lockdowns near our southern China factory during the last two weeks of the first quarter of 2022 temporarily caused labor shortages that negatively affected our ability to manufacture at full capacity and to meet customer demand. As of the issuance of this report, our southern China factory and our other factories are operating at or near labor capacity. The global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to negatively impact our business.

We have also been negatively impacted by supply chain difficulties including obtaining ICs and other long-lead time components and we expect this to continue into 2023. While we are taking production and inventory control steps in order to mitigate the effects caused by these shortages, we cannot guarantee that these steps will allow us to meet our short term IC and other component parts needs. As such, these supply constraints continue to cause difficulty and delays in our ability to fulfill customer orders and have at times resulted in increased logistics costs. In addition, many of our products are paired with certain of our customers' products, like set-top boxes or televisions. If those customers are not able to obtain sufficient quantities of ICs for their products, their demand for our products may decrease.

The overall operational and financial impact of the above is highly dependent on the risk factors disclosed under the headings “Risks Relating to COVID-19” and “Risks Relating to Operations” in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2021 Form 10-K and could be affected by other factors we are not currently able to predict.

Macroeconomic Conditions

We have been negatively impacted and we expect to continue to be negatively impacted by adverse macroeconomic conditions. Inflation has increased our component and logistics costs. While we have been able to increase sales prices on certain products, we may not be able to fully offset the impact of increased material costs which would negatively impact our gross profit. Our cost of labor, materials and borrowing may continue to increase which would negatively impact our business and financial results. In addition, we expect recessionary fears in the global economy will ultimately negatively impact our sales demand.

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, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill 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 six months ended June 30, 2022 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $139.1 million compared to $150.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our subscription broadcast channel experienced the largest decrease in sales when compared to the prior year period as a result of component shortages and lower customer demand. Sales in our retail channel also declined due a loss of a customer in North America and macroeconomic headwinds. Partially offsetting these decreases is an increase in sales in our HVAC channel as we continue to gain market share.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $39.4 million compared to $44.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 28.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from 29.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as a direct result of inflationary pressures associated with raw materials and components, freight costs and wages. In order to mitigate the effect of inflationary pressures, we implemented sales price increases on certain products throughout the first two quarters of 2022.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses. R&D expenses increased to $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $7.7 million in the prior year period. The increase in R&D expenses is due to an increase in product development activities.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. SG&A expenses decreased to $25.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $28.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in outside legal expenses related to a specific legal matter.

Interest income (expense), net. Interest expense, net increased to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of a higher average loan balance and a higher interest rate.

Other income (expense), net. Other expense, net increased to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $17.0 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021, mainly due to a one-time expense which we have filed an insurance claim.

Provision for income taxes. Income tax expense was $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, representing an effective tax rate of 35.3% compared to income tax expense of $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, representing an effective tax rate of 37.0%. We expect the U.S. to be in a pre-tax loss position without benefit for the full year 2022, which is the primary reason for the elevated effective tax rate. In addition, recent legislative changes for research and experimentation costs and creditability of certain foreign income taxes have resulted in a modest increase to our effective tax rate.

Table of Contents

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net sales. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $271.5 million, a decrease compared to $301.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Sales in our subscription broadcast channel were lower than the prior year period due primarily to component shortages and lower customer demand. Sales in our retail channel were also lower than the prior year period due to the loss of a customer in North America and macroeconomic headwinds.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $75.6 million compared to $91.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 27.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 30.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was unfavorably impacted by inflationary pressures associated with raw materials and components, freight costs and wages. Partially offsetting these unfavorable impacts were sales price increases on certain products which were implemented throughout the first two quarters of 2022.

Research and development expenses. R&D expenses increased to $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $15.6 million in the prior year period. The increase in R&D expenses is due to an increase in product development activities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses decreased to $54.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $57.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in outside legal expenses related to a specific legal matter and a decrease in incentive compensation.

Interest income (expense), net. Interest expense, net increased to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of higher average loan balances and higher interest rates.

Other income (expense), net. Other expense, net was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as a result of a one-time expense which we have filed an insurance claim, compared to other income, net of $6.0 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of net foreign currency gains.

Provision for income taxes. Income tax expense was $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing an effective tax rate of 98.1% compared to income tax expense of $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an effective tax rate of 27.7%. We expect the U.S. to be in a pre-tax loss position without benefit for the full year 2022, which is the primary reason for the elevated effective tax rate. In addition, recent legislative changes for research and experimentation costs and creditability of certain foreign income taxes have resulted in a modest increase to our 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 been sufficient to support our business operations, capital expenditures and discretionary share repurchases. In addition, we have utilized our revolving line of credit to fund an increased level of share repurchases and acquisitions. We anticipate that we will continue to utilize both cash flows from operations and our revolving line of credit to support ongoing business operations, capital expenditures, expenses associated with our long-term factory planning strategy, future discretionary share repurchases and potential future 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 line of credit or take on additional debt until we are able to transfer cash among our various entities.

Our liquidity is subject to various risks including the risks discussed under "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk."

(In thousands)	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	46,130	$	60,813
Available borrowing resources	34,300		66,300

Table of Contents

Cash, cash equivalents and term deposit – On June 30, 2022, we had $4.5 million, $15.3 million, $11.8 million, $11.7 million and $2.8 million of cash and cash equivalents in North America, the PRC, Asia (excluding the PRC), Europe, and South America, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2022, we had a one-year term deposit of $7.8 million, which will mature on January 25, 2023. We attempt to mitigate our exposure to liquidity, credit and other relevant risks by placing our cash, cash equivalents, and term deposits 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 state income and foreign withholding taxes. Additionally, repatriation of some foreign balances is restricted by local laws. We have provided for the state income tax and the foreign withholding tax liabilities on these amounts for financial statement purposes.

Available Borrowing Resources – Our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Second Amended Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank") provides for a $125.0 million revolving line of credit ("Credit Line") that expires on November 1, 2023. The Credit Line may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, share repurchases and capital expenditures. Amounts available for borrowing under the Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there were $2.7 million at June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, we had an outstanding balance of $88.0 million on our Credit Line and $34.3 million of availability.

See Note 8 contained in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information regarding our Credit Line.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our cash flows were as follows:

(In thousands)	Six Months Ended June 30, 2022		Increase (Decrease)		Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
Cash provided by (used for) operating activities	$	(17,084)	$	(33,568)	$	16,484
Cash provided by (used for) investing activities	(16,927)		(8,814)		(8,113)
Cash provided by (used for) financing activities	20,789		20,482		307
Effect of foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents	(1,461)		(3,320)		1,859
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(14,683)	$	(25,220)	$	10,537

	June 30, 2022		Increase (Decrease)		December 31, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	46,130	$	(14,683)	$	60,813
Working capital	115,087		(5,272)		120,359

Net cash used for operating activities was $17.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $16.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net income was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net income of $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Inventories increased by $16.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to an increase of $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. We are currently in a unique environment where certain components, most prominently ICs, are in short supply. The lead times associated with these components have increased significantly; consequently, when an opportunity arises to procure more than what is needed at a given period of time, we are proceeding with the purchase. This has currently led to us carrying more inventory than is optimal. Our inventory turns decreased to 2.7 turns at June 30, 2022 compared to 3.4 turns at June 30, 2021. Changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted in cash outflows of $15.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 largely as a result of the timing of payments and a decrease in accrued compensation. Changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted in cash outflows of $7.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 largely as a result of the timing of payments and a decrease in accrued compensation.

For the second half of 2022, we expect component shortages will continue to have an adverse effect on cash flows with some relief beginning to occur in the first half of 2023. In addition, we expect to commence manufacturing operations in a new factory in Vietnam in the fourth quarter of 2022 which, in the short run, may result in manufacturing inefficiencies.

Net cash used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $16.9 million, of which $7.5 million, $0.9 million, $5.5 million and $3.0 million was used for our term deposit investment, acquisition of Qterics Inc., capital expenditures, and the development of patents, respectively. Net cash used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $8.1 million of which $6.2 million and $1.9 million was used for capital expenditures and the development of patents, respectively.

Future cash flows used for investing activities are largely dependent on the timing and amount of capital expenditures. We estimate that we will incur between $13.0 million and $16.0 million during the remainder of 2022, which includes amounts associated with our factory in Vietnam, which we anticipate commencing operations in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $20.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was driven partially by borrowing and repayment activity on our line of credit. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net borrowings of $32.0 million compared to net borrowings of $26.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 354,558 shares of our common stock at a cost of $11.2 million compared to our repurchase of 510,715 shares at a cost of $26.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

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 will impact our cash flows used for financing activities. See Note 13 contained in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information regarding our share repurchase programs.

Material Cash Commitments – The following table summarizes our material cash commitments and the effect these commitments are expected to have on our cash flows in future periods: 

	Payments Due by Period
(In thousands)	Total		Less than 1 year		1 - 3 years		4 - 5 years		After 5 years
Operating lease obligations	$	27,213	$	7,076	$	10,773	$	5,442	$	3,922
Property, plant, and equipment purchases	1,776		1,776		—		—		—
Inventory purchases	23,163		23,163		—		—		—
Software license	3,467		52		420		841		2,154
Total material cash commitments	$	55,619	$	32,067	$	11,193	$	6,283	$	6,076

We anticipate meeting our material cash commitments with our cash generated from operations and available borrowing resources, including our Credit Line.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risks, including interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of these risks and the use of financial instruments to mitigate our risk exposure.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to our debt. From time to time we borrow amounts on our Credit Line for working capital and other liquidity needs. Under our Second Amended Credit Agreement, we may elect to pay interest on outstanding borrowings on our Credit Line based on LIBOR or a base rate (based on the prime rate of U.S. Bank) plus an applicable margin as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement. Accordingly, changes in interest rates would impact our results of operations in future periods. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have an approximately $0.7 million annual impact on net income based on our outstanding Credit Line balance at June 30, 2022.

We cannot make any assurances that we will not need to borrow additional amounts in the future or that funds will be extended to us under comparable terms or at all. If funding is not available to us at a time when we need to borrow, we would have to use our cash reserves, including potentially repatriating cash from foreign jurisdictions, which may have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

At June 30, 2022, we had wholly-owned subsidiaries in Brazil, the British Virgin Islands, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, the PRC, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom and Vietnam. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in our sales commitments, anticipated sales, anticipated purchases, operating expenses, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The most significant foreign currencies to our operations are the Chinese Yuan Renminbi, Euro, British Pound, Mexican Peso, Indian Rupee, Hong Kong Dollar, Brazilian Real, Japanese Yen and Korean Won. Our most significant foreign currency exposure is to the Chinese Yuan Renminbi as this is the functional currency of our China-based factories where the majority of our products are manufactured. If the Chinese Yuan Renminbi were to strengthen against the U.S. Dollar, our manufacturing costs would increase. We are generally a net payor of the Mexican Peso, Indian Rupee, Hong Kong Dollar, Japanese Yen and Korean Won and therefore benefit from a stronger U.S. Dollar and are adversely affected by a weaker U.S. Dollar relative to the foreign currency. For the Euro, British Pound and Brazilian Real, we are generally a net receiver of the foreign currency and therefore benefit from a weaker U.S. Dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. Dollar relative to the foreign currency. Even where we are a net receiver, a weaker U.S. Dollar may adversely affect certain expense figures taken alone.

From time to time, we enter into foreign currency exchange agreements to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in our forecasted income and cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. The terms of these foreign currency exchange agreements normally last less than nine months. We recognize the gains and losses on these foreign currency contracts in the same period as the remeasurement losses and gains of the related foreign currency-denominated exposures.

It is difficult to estimate the impact of fluctuations on reported income, as it depends on the opening and closing rates, the average net balance sheet positions held in a foreign currency and the amount of income generated in local currency. We routinely forecast what these balance sheet positions and income generated in local currency may be and we take steps to minimize exposure as we deem appropriate. Alternatively, we may choose not to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with our foreign currency exposures, primarily if such exposure acts as a natural foreign currency hedge for other offsetting amounts denominated in the same currency or the currency is difficult or too expensive to hedge. We do not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

The sensitivity of earnings and cash flows to variability in exchange rates is assessed by applying an approximate range of potential rate fluctuations to our assets, obligations and projected results of operations denominated in foreign currency with all other variables held constant. The analysis includes all of our foreign currency contracts offset by the underlying exposures. Based on our overall foreign currency rate exposure at June 30, 2022, we believe that movements in foreign currency rates may have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations. We estimate that if the exchange rates for the Chinese Yuan Renminbi, Euro, British Pound, Mexican Peso, Indian Rupee, Brazilian Real, and Japanese Yen relative to the U.S. Dollar fluctuate 10% from June 30, 2022, net income in the third quarter of 2022 would fluctuate by approximately $8.0 million.

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 report. 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.

Per the terms of the February 2022 Program, we could utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, including open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases or open market solicitations for shares, some or all of which could be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. As of May 2, 2022, we repurchased the full 300,000 shares under the February 2022 Program.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

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. 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," "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 six months ended June 30, 2022 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, 2021.

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, intangible assets and goodwill; business combinations; income taxes and related valuation allowances; stock-based compensation expense and performance-based common stock warrants.

The coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and the efforts to contain it has made estimates more difficult and subjective. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

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, 2021.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of a good or service is transferred to a customer. Control is considered to be transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of that good or service. Revenues are primarily generated from manufacturing, shipping and supporting control and sensor technology solutions and a broad line of pre-programmed and universal control products, AV accessories, and intelligent wireless security and smart home products that are used in the video services, consumer electronics, security, home automation, climate control, and home appliance market, which are sold through multiple channels, and licensing intellectual property that is embedded in these products or licensed to others for use in their products. We also generate revenues from a cloud-based software solution enabling software updates, digital rights management provisioning and remote technical support to consumer electronics customers.

We recognize service revenues related to our cloud-based software solution on an over-time basis, as our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by our performance. Revenues are recognized over the period during which the performance obligations are satisfied, and control of the service is transferred to the customers.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Term Deposit

Cash and cash equivalents include cash accounts and all investments purchased with initial maturities of three months or less. Our term deposit has an initial maturity of one year. Domestically, we generally maintain balances in excess of federally insured limits. We attempt to mitigate our exposure to liquidity, credit and other relevant risks by placing our cash, cash equivalents and term deposit with financial institutions we believe are high quality. These financial institutions are located in

many different geographic regions. As part of our cash and risk management processes, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of our financial institutions. We have not sustained credit losses from instruments held at financial institutions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers". This guidance requires an entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". At the acquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue recognition model as if it had originated the acquired contracts. Our adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recent Accounting Updates Not Yet Effective

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting", and in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform". This guidance is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The amendments in these ASUs are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities through December 31, 2022. These amendments are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On January 25, 2022, we entered into a one-year term deposit cash account with Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A., denominated in Brazilian Real. The term deposit earns interest at a variable annual rate based upon the Brazilian CDI overnight interbank rate. At June 30, 2022, the balance of the term deposit was $7.8 million. The term deposit is accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis using level one inputs.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Line of Credit

Line of Credit

Our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Second Amended Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank") provides for a $125.0 million revolving line of credit ("Credit Line") that expires on November 1, 2023. The Credit Line may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, share repurchases and capital expenditures. Amounts available for borrowing under the Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there were $2.7 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

All obligations under the 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 Credit Line by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Universal Electronics BV.

Under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, we may elect to pay interest on the Credit Line based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 1.75%) or base rate (based on the prime rate of U.S. Bank or as otherwise specified in the Second Amended Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.00% to 0.50%). The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on our cash flow leverage ratio as set forth in the Second Amended Credit Agreement. The interest rates in effect at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were 3.04% and 1.35%, respectively. There are no commitment fees or unused line fees under the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

On December 31, 2021, the process of cessation of LIBOR as a reference rate began. Between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2023, any borrowings under our existing Second Amended Credit Agreement may continue to use LIBOR as the basis for interest rates. If the Second Amended Credit Agreement is amended or replaced during this period, any borrowings will no longer use LIBOR as a reference rate and instead will be subject to an interest rate based on either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), which is deemed a replacement benchmark for LIBOR under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, or an alternate index to be agreed upon. After June 30, 2023, all borrowings will be based on SOFR or the alternate index.

The Second Amended Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum cash flow leverage ratio. In addition, the Second Amended Credit Agreement contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. At June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $88.0 million and $56.0 million outstanding under the Credit Line, respectively. Our total interest expense on borrowings was $0.6 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our total interest expense on borrowings was $0.9 million and $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $1.6 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recorded income tax expense of $4.0 million and $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The income tax rate recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased primarily due to the mix of pre‐tax income among jurisdictions, including losses not benefited as a result of a valuation allowance. In addition, the tax incentive refund received in China during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was greater than the refund received during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to the mix of pre-tax income and loss among jurisdictions and permanent tax items including a tax on global intangible low-taxed income. The permanent tax item related to global intangible low-taxed income also reflects recent legislative changes requiring the capitalization of research and experimentation costs, as well as limitations on the creditability of certain foreign income taxes.

At December 31, 2021, 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 taxable income in carryback years, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. At December 31, 2021, we had a three-year cumulative operating loss for our U.S. operations and accordingly, have provided a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there was no change to our valuation allowance position.

At June 30, 2022, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $3.2 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 these tax benefits are realized. Further, we are unaware of any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase within the next twelve months. Based on federal, state and foreign statute expirations in various jurisdictions, we do not anticipate a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. We have classified uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities unless they are expected to be paid within one year.

We have elected to classify interest and penalties as a component of tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties are immaterial at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and are included in the unrecognized tax benefits.

Litigation

Roku Matters

2018 Lawsuit

On September 5, 2018, we filed a lawsuit against Roku, Inc. ("Roku") in the United States District Court, Central District of California, alleging that Roku is willfully infringing nine of our patents that are in four patent families related to remote control set-up and touchscreen remotes. On December 5, 2018, we amended our complaint to add additional details supporting our infringement and willfulness allegations. We have alleged that this complaint relates to multiple Roku streaming players and components therefor and certain universal control devices, including but not limited to the Roku App, Roku TV, Roku Express, Roku Streaming Stick, Roku Ultra, Roku Premiere, Roku 4, Roku 3, Roku 2, Roku Enhanced Remote and any other Roku product that provides for the remote control of an external device such as a TV, audiovisual receiver, sound bar or Roku TV Wireless Speakers. In October 2019, the Court stayed this lawsuit pending action by the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (the "PTAB") with respect to Roku's Inter Partes Review ("IPR") requests (see discussion below). This lawsuit continues to be stayed until such time as the IPR requests and all appeals with respect to them have concluded.

International Trade Commission Investigation of Roku, TCL, Hisense and Funai

On April 16, 2020, we filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission (the "ITC") against Roku, TCL Electronics Holding Limited and related entities (collectively, "TCL"), Hisense Co., Ltd. and related entities (collectively, "Hisense"), and Funai Electric Company, Ltd. and related entities (collectively, "Funai") claiming that certain of their televisions, set-top boxes, remote control devices, human interface devices, streaming devices, and sound bars infringe certain of our patents. We asked the ITC to issue a permanent limited exclusion order prohibiting the importation of these infringing products into the United States and a cease and desist order to stop these parties from continuing their infringing activities. On May 18, 2020, the ITC announced that it instituted its investigation as requested by us. Prior to the trial, which ended on April 23, 2021, we released TCL, Hisense and Funai from this investigation as they removed our technology from their televisions. On July 9, 2021, the Administrative Law Judge (the "ALJ") issued his Initial Determination (the "ID") finding that Roku is infringing our patents and as a result is in violation of §337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the "Tariff Act"). On July 23, 2021, Roku and we filed petitions to appeal certain portions of the ID. On November 10, 2021, the full ITC issued its final determination affirming the ID and issuing a Limited Exclusion Order and Cease and Desist Order against Roku which became effective on January 9, 2022.

2020 Lawsuit

As a companion case to our ITC complaint, on April 9, 2020, we filed separate actions against each of Roku, TCL, Hisense, and Funai in the United States District Court, Central District of California, alleging that Roku is willfully infringing five of our patents and TCL, Hisense, and Funai are willfully infringing six of our patents by incorporating our patented technology into certain of their televisions, set-top boxes, remote control devices, human interface devices, streaming devices and sound bars. These matters have been and continue to be stayed pending the final results of the open IPR matters mentioned below.

Inter Partes Reviews

Throughout these litigation matters against Roku and the others identified above, Roku has filed multiple IPR requests with the PTAB on all patents at issue in the 2018 Lawsuit, the ITC Action, and the 2020 Lawsuit (see discussion above). To date, the PTAB has denied Roku's request thirteen times, granted Roku's request eleven times and we are awaiting the PTAB's institution decision with respect to the remaining two IPR requests. Of the eleven IPR requests granted by the PTAB, the results were mixed, with the PTAB upholding the validity of many of our patent claims and invalidating others. We have and will appeal any PTAB decision that resulted in an invalidation of our patent claims.

International Trade Commission Investigation Request Made by Roku against UEI and certain UEI Customers

On April 8, 2021, Roku made a request to the ITC to initiate an investigation against us and certain of our customers claiming that certain of our and those customers' remote control devices and televisions infringe two of Roku's recently acquired patents, the '511 patent and the '875 patent. On May 10, 2021, the ITC announced its decision to initiate the requested investigation. Immediately prior to trial Roku withdrew its complaint against us and two of our customers with respect to one of the two patents at issue. This released the complaint against us and two of our customers with respect to that patent. The trial was thus shortened and ended on January 24, 2022. On June 24, 2022, the ALJ found the '511 patent invalid as indefinite. Thereafter, on June 28, 2022, the ALJ issued her ID fully exonerating us and our customers finding the '875 patent invalid and that Roku failed to prove it established the requisite domestic industry and thus no violation of the Tariff Act. As is standard practice, the full commission will review the ID which is presently set for October 28, 2022. In advance of the full Commission's review, Roku and we filed petitions to appeal certain portions of the ID. As a companion to its ITC request, Roku also filed a lawsuit against us and certain of our customers in Federal District Court in the Central District of California alleging that we are infringing the same patents they alleged being infringed in the ITC investigation explained above. This District Court case has been and will continue to be stayed pending the conclusion of the ITC investigation.

Court of International Trade Action against the United States of America, et. al.

On October 9, 2020, we and our subsidiaries, Ecolink Intelligent Technology, Inc. ("Ecolink") and RCS Technology, LLC ("RCS"), filed an amended complaint (20-cv-00670) in the Court of International Trade (the "CIT") against the United States of America; the Office of the United States Trade Representative; Robert E. Lighthizer, U.S. Trade Representative; U.S. Customs & Border Protection; and Mark A. Morgan, U.S. Customs & Border Protection Acting Commissioner, challenging both the substantive and procedural processes followed by the United States Trade Representative ("USTR") when instituting Section 301 Tariffs on imports from China under Lists 3 and 4A.

Pursuant to this complaint, we, Ecolink and RCS are alleging that USTR's institution of Lists 3 and 4A tariffs violated the Trade Act of 1974 (the "Trade Act") on the grounds that the USTR failed to make a determination or finding that there was an unfair trade practice that required a remedy and moreover, that Lists 3 and 4A tariffs were instituted beyond the 12-month time limit provided for in the governing statute. We, Ecolink and RCS also allege that the manner in which the Lists 3 and 4A tariff actions were implemented violated the Administrative Procedures Act (the "APA") by failing to provide adequate opportunity for comments, failed to consider relevant factors when making its decision and failed to connect the record facts to the choices it made by not explaining how the comments received by USTR came to shape the final implementation of Lists 3 and 4A.

We, Ecolink and RCS are asking the CIT to declare that the defendants' actions resulting in the tariffs on products covered by Lists 3 and 4A are unauthorized by and contrary to the Trade Act and were arbitrarily and unlawfully promulgated in violation of the APA; to vacate the Lists 3 and 4A tariffs; to order a refund (with interest) of any Lists 3 and 4A duties paid by us, Ecolink and RCS; to permanently enjoin the U.S. government from applying Lists 3 and 4A duties against us, Ecolink and RCS; and award us, Ecolink and RCS our costs and reasonable attorney's fees.

In July 2021, the CIT issued a preliminary injunction suspending liquidation of all unliquidated entries subject to Lists 3 and 4A duties and has asked the parties to develop a process to keep track of the entries to efficiently and effectively deal with liquidation process and duties to be paid or refunded when finally adjudicated. On February 5, 2022, the CIT heard oral arguments on dispositive motions filed on behalf of plaintiffs and defendants. On April 1, 2022, the CIT issued its opinion on these dispositive motions, ruling that the USTR had the legal authority to promulgate List 3 and List 4A under Section 307(a)(1)(B) of the Trade Act, but that the USTR violated the APA when it promulgated List 3 and List 4A concluding that the USTR failed to adequately explain its decision as required under the APA. The Court ordered that List 3 and List 4A be remanded to the USTR for reconsideration or further explanation regarding its rationale for imposing the tariffs. The Court declined to vacate List 3 and List 4A, which means that they are still in place while on remand. The Court’s preliminary injunction regarding liquidation of entries also remains in effect. The Court set a deadline of June 30, 2022, for the USTR to complete this process. During June, the Court extended this deadline to August 1, 2022.

There are no other material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries is 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.

On February 10, 2022, our Board approved a share repurchase program with an effective date of February 22, 2022 (the "February 2022 Program"). Pursuant to the February 2022 Program, we were authorized to repurchase up to 300,000 shares of our common stock until the Program's expiration on May 5, 2022. Per the terms of the February 2022 Program, we could utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, including open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases or open market solicitations for shares, some or all of which could be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. As of May 2, 2022, we repurchased the full 300,000 shares under the February 2022 Program.

Repurchased shares of our common stock were as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2022		2021
Shares repurchased	355		511
Cost of shares repurchased	$	11,211	$	26,684

Repurchased shares are recorded as shares held in treasury at cost. We hold these shares for future use as management and the Board of Directors deem appropriate.

This amount will change based on the fair market value of our stock.

The assumptions we utilized in the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the resulting weighted average fair value of stock option grants were the following:

Performance-Based Common Stock Warrants

On March 9, 2016, we issued common stock purchase warrants to Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") at a price of $54.55 per share. At June 30, 2022, 275,000 of these warrants were vested and outstanding. All vested warrants will expire on January 1, 2023. The warrants provide for certain adjustments that may be made to the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise due to customary anti-dilution provisions. Additionally, in connection with the common stock purchase warrants, we have also entered into a registration rights agreement with Comcast under which Comcast may from time to time request that we register the shares of common stock underlying vested warrants with the SEC.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Business Combination

Business Combination

On February 17, 2022, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of Qterics, a U.S.-based provider of multimedia connectivity solutions and services for internet-enabled consumer products. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA"), we paid a cash purchase price of approximately $0.9 million. The acquisition of these assets will allow us to expand our customer base in the OEM market.

Our consolidated income statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 includes net sales of $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and net income of $9.2 thousand and $0.1 million, respectively, attributable to Qterics for the period commencing on February 17, 2022.

In accordance with the terms of the APA, the initial purchase price was subject to adjustment for differences between the initial estimated working capital balances and the final adjusted balances. This calculation was completed at March 31, 2022.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

Using the acquisition method of accounting, the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The calculation of the fair value of deferred revenue has not been finalized, pending the determination of the appropriate service period over which to recognize revenue. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Management's preliminary purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2022 was the following:

(In thousands)	Estimated Lives	Preliminary Fair Value
Accounts receivable		$	787
Property, plant and equipment	5 years	3
Customer relationships	6 years	1,340
Developed technology	6 years	440
Trade names	6 years	50
Goodwill		713
Operating lease ROU assets	3 years	149
Other assets		2
Other accrued liabilities		(6)
Short-term operating lease obligation		(48)
Deferred revenue		(1,539)
Long-term operating lease obligation		(101)
Long-term deferred revenue		(851)
Cash paid		$	939

Management's determination of the fair value of intangible assets acquired are based primarily on significant inputs not observable in an active market and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements as defined under U.S. GAAP.

The fair value assigned to the Qterics developed technology and trade names intangible assets were determined utilizing a relief from royalty method. Under the relief from royalty method, the fair value of the intangible asset is estimated to be the present value of the royalties saved because the company owns the intangible asset. Revenue projections and estimated useful life were significant inputs into estimating the value of the Qterics developed technology and trade names.

The fair value assigned to Qterics customer relationships intangible assets were determined utilizing a multi-period excess earnings approach. Under the multi-period excess earnings approach, the fair value of the intangible asset is estimated to be the present value of future earnings attributable to the asset and utilizes revenue and cost projections, including an assumed contributory asset charge.

The developed technology, trade names and customer relationships intangible assets are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Pro Forma Results (unaudited)

The unaudited pro forma financial information of combined results of our operations and the operations of Qterics as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2021, is immaterially different from the net sales, net income and income per share amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

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. 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," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Universal Electronics Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates to the contrary.

Estimates and Assumptions

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, intangible assets and goodwill; business combinations; income taxes and related valuation allowances; stock-based compensation expense and performance-based common stock warrants.

The coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and the efforts to contain it has made estimates more difficult and subjective. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of a good or service is transferred to a customer. Control is considered to be transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of that good or service. Revenues are primarily generated from manufacturing, shipping and supporting control and sensor technology solutions and a broad line of pre-programmed and universal control products, AV accessories, and intelligent wireless security and smart home products that are used in the video services, consumer electronics, security, home automation, climate control, and home appliance market, which are sold through multiple channels, and licensing intellectual property that is embedded in these products or licensed to others for use in their products. We also generate revenues from a cloud-based software solution enabling software updates, digital rights management provisioning and remote technical support to consumer electronics customers.

We recognize service revenues related to our cloud-based software solution on an over-time basis, as our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by our performance. Revenues are recognized over the period during which the performance obligations are satisfied, and control of the service is transferred to the customers.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Term Deposit

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Term Deposit

Cash and cash equivalents include cash accounts and all investments purchased with initial maturities of three months or less. Our term deposit has an initial maturity of one year. Domestically, we generally maintain balances in excess of federally insured limits. We attempt to mitigate our exposure to liquidity, credit and other relevant risks by placing our cash, cash equivalents and term deposit with financial institutions we believe are high quality. These financial institutions are located in

many different geographic regions. As part of our cash and risk management processes, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of our financial institutions. We have not sustained credit losses from instruments held at financial institutions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recent Accounting Updates Not Yet Effective

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers". This guidance requires an entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". At the acquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue recognition model as if it had originated the acquired contracts. Our adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recent Accounting Updates Not Yet Effective

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting", and in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform". This guidance is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The amendments in these ASUs are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities through December 31, 2022. These amendments are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
