Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies |
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Universal Electronics Inc. and its wholly-owned 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 and certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year presentation. 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. 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 months ended March 31, 2015 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" and notes thereto included in Items 1A, 7, 7A, and 8, respectively, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. | |
Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments 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, allowances for sales returns and doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, our review of impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, and they may be adjusted as more information becomes available. Any adjustment may be material. | |
See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a summary of our significant accounting policies. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which will supersede most existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. This new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 contains expanded disclosure requirements relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and permits the use of either the full retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. We have not yet selected a transition method and are evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. |

The allowance for sales returns at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 included reserves for items returned prior to period-end that were not completely processed, and therefore had not yet been removed from the allowance for sales returns balance. If these returns had been fully processed, the allowance for sales returns balance would have been approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million on March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Line of Credit | Line of Credit |
On October 9, 2014, we extended the term of our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Amended Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank") to November 1, 2017. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $55.0 million line of credit ("Credit Line") that 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 $13 thousand at March 31, 2015. | |
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 65% of our ownership interest in Enson Assets Limited, our wholly-owned subsidiary which controls our manufacturing factories in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). | |
Under the 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 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 Amended Credit Agreement. There are no commitment fees or unused line fees under the Amended Credit Agreement. | |
The Amended Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum cash flow leverage ratio. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement. |

Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
We utilize our estimated annual effective tax rate to determine our provision for income taxes for interim periods. The income tax provision is computed by taking the estimated annual effective tax rate and multiplying it by the year-to-date pre-tax book income. | |
We recorded income tax expense of $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 19.5% and 24.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the recording of a $0.3 million tax refund during the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to certain deductible research and development expenses incurred in China during 2013. | |
At March 31, 2015, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $3.7 million, including interest and penalties, of which $3.2 million 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 amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase within the next twelve months. However, based on federal, state and foreign statute expirations in various jurisdictions, we anticipate a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.5 million within the next twelve months. We have classified uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities unless 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 of $0.2 million and $0.2 million on March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, are included in our unrecognized tax benefits. | |
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. On March 31, 2015, the open statutes of limitations in our significant tax jurisdictions were as follows: federal 2011 through 2013, state 2010 through 2013, and foreign 2008 through 2013. |

Litigation | ||||||||
On March 2, 2012, we filed a lawsuit against Universal Remote Control, Inc. ("URC") in the United States District Court, Central District of California (Universal Electronics Inc. v. Universal Remote Control, Inc., SACV12-0039 AG (JPRx)) alleging that URC was infringing, directly and indirectly, four of our patents related to remote control technology. We alleged that this complaint related to multiple URC remote control products, including the URC model numbers UR5U-9000L, WR7 and other remote controls with different model names or numbers, but with substantially the same designs, features, and functionalities. We sought monetary relief for the infringement, including enhanced damages due to the willfulness of URC's actions, injunctive relief to enjoin URC from further infringing, including contributory infringement and/or inducing infringement, and attorney's fees. URC denied infringing our patents and asserted a variety of counterclaims and affirmative defenses including invalidity and unenforceability of our patents, misuse of patents, and a breach of contract action stemming from the settlement by us of an earlier lawsuit against URC. On January 29, 2013, the Court held its "Markman" hearing and on February 1, 2013, the Court issued its ruling that four of the 24 claims we asserted against URC were invalid, effectively removing one of the four patents alleged by us to be infringed by URC from this litigation. In March 2014, the Court further narrowed the scope of this litigation granting URC's motion for summary judgment with respect to certain issues that effectively removed two additional patents. In March 2014, the Court also granted our motion for summary judgment on certain of URC's defenses and counterclaims, including URC's counterclaim for breach of contract. A trial was held from May 6, 2014 through May 20, 2014, and the jury returned a verdict that URC did not infringe on our remaining patent, and found for URC on patent validity and several equitable defenses in the lawsuit, although the jury's verdict on the equitable defenses was advisory in nature. A hearing on motions pertaining to the jury's verdict was held on August 18, 2014. On December 16, 2014, the Court entered its findings of fact and conclusions of law on the equitable issues and determined that our assertion of URC's infringement of one of the patents at issue was barred by laches, but not by equitable estoppel or patent misuse. Further, the Court determined that our right to seek relief was not barred by unclean hands and on January 27, 2015, final judgment was entered by the Court accepting the jury's verdict pertaining to invalidity, non-infringement, marking, and the equitable defense of laches and ordered us to pay URC's costs of litigation, exclusive of attorney's fees. The parties have filed briefs in support of and opposition to the amount of such costs and fees to be awarded. URC is seeking an award of its costs in excess of $0.2 million. We have vigorously opposed this request as unreasonably excessive. We are awaiting the Court's determination of the amount of the award and depending upon the Court's decision, we will decide whether to appeal the ruling or not. At this time, since URC's and our opinions are very far apart as to the amount of costs to which URC should be awarded, we cannot estimate the amount the Court may award. On January 22, 2015, URC filed a motion seeking to recover its attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with its defense of this lawsuit. We opposed this motion. On March 10, 2015, after a hearing, the Court granted URC's motion for a portion of its attorneys' fees and expenses and the parties have filed briefs in support of and opposition to the amount of fees and expenses to be awarded. URC is seeking an award of attorneys' fees and expenses in excess of $5.7 million. We have vigorously opposed this request as unreasonably excessive. We are awaiting the Court's determination of the amount of the award and depending upon the Court's decision, we will decide whether to appeal the ruling or not. At this time, since URC's and our opinions are very far apart as to the amount of fees and expenses to which URC could be awarded and due to the lack of guiding judicial precedent, we cannot estimate the amount the Court may award and thus no accrual for potential loss has been recorded as of March 31, 2015. On February 26, 2015, URC filed its notice of appeal with respect to rulings against it pertaining to the issues of patent misuse, unclean hands, implied license and all adverse orders, decisions, and opinions rulings of the Court, which appeal we will vigorously defend against and on March 11, 2015, we filed our notice of appeal with respect to the final judgment entered against us on January 27, 2015, with respect to the Court's claim construction order entered on February 1, 2013 and from the order granted URC's motion for attorneys' fees. Finally, on April 8, 2015, URC filed its notice of appeal with respect to the Court's order granting its motion for attorneys' fees. | ||||||||
On June 28, 2013, we filed a second lawsuit against URC, also in the United States District Court, Central District of California (Universal Electronics Inc. v. Universal Remote Control, Inc., SACV13-00987 JAK (SHx)). In this second lawsuit, we are alleging that URC is infringing, directly and indirectly, ten additional patents that we own related to remote control technology. As in the first lawsuit, in this second lawsuit we have alleged that this complaint relates to multiple URC remote control products. We are seeking monetary relief for infringement, including enhanced damages due to the willfulness of URC's actions, injunctive relief to enjoin URC from further infringing, including contributory infringement and/or inducing infringement, and attorney's fees. In mid-July 2013, URC filed a Notice of Related Cases seeking to join this lawsuit with the lawsuit we filed against URC on March 2, 2012 and we did not object to this Notice. Consequently, this lawsuit was transferred to the Judge and Magistrate hearing our first lawsuit filed against URC. In addition, URC answered this complaint with a denial of infringement, asserting affirmative defenses, and seeking a ruling that URC has not infringed our patents, that our patents are invalid and unenforceable, that the patents have been licensed to URC, and an award of attorneys' fees and costs. In mid-November 2013, we filed a motion to add affiliated URC suppliers, Ohsung Electronics Co, Ltd, a South Korean entity, and Ohsung Electronics USA, Inc., a California entity, (collectively "Ohsung"), to the lawsuit. In February 2014, Ohsung answered and counterclaimed with a general denial of wrongdoing and asserted the standard affirmative defenses of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability of our patents and breach of contract action stemming from the settlement by us of an earlier lawsuit against URC. In March 2014, we answered by disputing Ohsung's defenses and with a general denial of Ohsung's breach of contract complaint. In late June and early July of 2014, URC and Ohsung requested inter partes review ("IPR") with the US Patent and Trademark Office ("Patent Office" or "USPTO") for each of the ten patents pending in the second URC lawsuit. We intend to vigorously defend each patent before the Patent Office. During December 2014 and January 2015, the Patent Office issued its decisions on URC's petitions and accepted for review all claims at issue with respect to five of the patents, certain claims at issue with respect to two of the patents and denied in full the request to review the other three patents at issue.We are presently reviewing the Patent Office's decisions to determine our next steps which could include appealing the Patent Office's acceptance of some or all of the seven patents and/or defending the patents in front of the USPTO. While the Patent Office was considering the IPR requests, this second lawsuit was stayed by the Court. On March 5, 2015, the Court granted the parties Joint Stipulation agreeing that the stay continue while the Patent Office decides the IPRs, which decisions are not expected until January 2016. | ||||||||
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 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. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Derivatives | Derivatives | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We periodically enter into foreign currency exchange contracts with terms normally lasting less than nine months to protect against the adverse effects that exchange-rate fluctuations may have on our foreign currency-denominated receivables, payables, cash flows and reported income. We are exposed to market risks from foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial position. Our foreign currency exposures are primarily concentrated in the Argentinian Peso, Brazilian Real, British Pound, Chinese Yuan Renminbi, Euro, Hong Kong Dollar, and Indian Rupee. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage risk and are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. We do not use leveraged derivative financial instruments and these derivatives have not qualified for hedge accounting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gains and losses on the derivatives are recorded in other income (expense), net. Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The estimated fair values of our derivative financial instruments represent the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices. We have determined that the fair value of our derivatives are derived from level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The following table sets forth the total net fair value of derivatives: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Consolidation | In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Universal Electronics Inc. and its wholly-owned 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 and certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year presentation. 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. 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 months ended March 31, 2015 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" and notes thereto included in Items 1A, 7, 7A, and 8, respectively, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. | |
Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions | Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments 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, allowances for sales returns and doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, our review of impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, and they may be adjusted as more information becomes available. Any adjustment may be material. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which will supersede most existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. This new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 contains expanded disclosure requirements relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and permits the use of either the full retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. We have not yet selected a transition method and are evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. |

[1] | Effective JanuaryB 1, 2008, the Chinese Labor Contract Law was enacted in the PRC. This law mandated that PRC employers remit the applicable social insurance payments to their local government. Social insurance is comprised of various components such as pension, medical insurance, job injury insurance, unemployment insurance, and a housing assistance fund, and is administered in a manner similar to social security in the United States. This amount represents our estimate of the amounts due to the PRC government for social insurance on MarchB 31, 2015 and DecemberB 31, 2014. | |||
[2] | Accrued bonus includes an accrual for an extra month of salary ("13th month salary") to be paid to employees in certain geographies where it is the customary business practice. This 13th month salary is paid to these employees if they remain employed with us through DecemberB 31st. The total accrued for the 13th month salary was $0.3 million and $0.6 million at MarchB 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. |
