Universal Electronics free cash flow growth trends
Over the last five reported fiscal years, free cash flow declined from $56.5M to $19.8M, a compound annual decline of 18.97%. Universal Electronics's latest reported quarter, Q2 2026, generated $5.5M in free cash flow, a decrease of 27.01% year over year.
What free cash flow means
Free cash flow is the cash a company generates from operations after capital expenditures. Positive FCF can fund dividends, buybacks, debt repayment, or reinvestment; negative FCF means capital spending exceeded operating cash flow for that period.
How free cash flow is calculated
TickerStat calculates free cash flow as SEC-reported operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. FCF margin equals free cash flow divided by revenue. Fiscal periods can differ from calendar years, so the tables include exact period-end dates.
