Cleantech
Solutions International Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results
|
● |
Revenues were $15.2 million with net income of
$1.2 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted share |
Wuxi,
Jiangsu Province, China – August 14, 2015 – Cleantech Solutions International, Inc. (“Cleantech Solutions”
or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: CLNT), a manufacturer of metal components and assemblies used in various clean technology
and manufacturing industries and textile dyeing and finishing machines, and, since the first quarter of 2015, the petroleum and
chemical industries, today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.
“In
the second quarter of 2015, economic conditions in China impacted capital spending, particularly in our forged rolled rings and
related products business, which saw a significant drop in revenue during the quarter. Sales in our dyeing equipment segment also
declined, as concerns regarding the ability of some of our customers to make timely payments caused us to delay shipment of certain
orders. We also experienced softer demand for our low-emission airflow dyeing machines, as many of our customers upgraded to new
models last year,” said Mr. Jianhua Wu, Chairman and CEO of Cleantech Solutions. “Sales to customers in the petroleum
and chemical equipment, particularly the major contract we received from a large state-owned enterprise for parts and equipment
to be used on a major chemical project in Xinjiang, made a meaningful contribution to revenue and partially offset the sales decline
in other segments. We remained profitable, generated positive cash flow and closed the quarter with a stronger balance sheet.”
Second
Quarter 2015 Results
Revenue
for the second quarter of 2015 decreased by 13.3% to $15.2 million, compared to $17.5 million for the same period of 2014.
The
Company experienced lower sales of forged rolled rings and related components to customers in the wind power and other industries
and to dyeing and finishing equipment customers compared to the comparable quarter last year. These decreases were partially offset
by sales of equipment to customers in the petroleum and chemical industries.
| ● | Revenue
from the sale of forged rolled rings and related products to the wind power and other
industries fell by 61.8% to $3.0 million, compared with $7.9 million for the comparable
period of the prior year. Fluctuations in overall capital expenditures in China, lower
oil and coal prices and the availability of credit are adversely affecting customer demand. |
| | |
| ● | Revenue
from the dyeing and finishing equipment segment decreased by 11.0% to $8.6 million, compared
to $9.7 million for the second quarter of 2014. In order to reduce business risk, the
Company postponed shipments of low-emission airflow dyeing machines to certain customers
who were behind in payments. In addition, the Company experienced softer demand for its
low-emission airflow dyeing machines in the first half of 2015, as many of its customers
had upgraded to new models in 2014 and did not require additional equipment in 2015. |
| | |
| ● | The
Company generated $3.6 million in revenues from sales of equipment to customers in the
petroleum and chemical industries during the second quarter, particularly a large state-owned
enterprise, which generated revenue of approximately $3.1 million, or 87.7% of the petroleum
and chemical segment revenue for the second quarter of 2015. This new business segment
began shipping orders in the first quarter of 2015. |
Gross
profit for the second quarter of 2015 decreased by 34.1% to $2.7 million, compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2014.
Gross margin was 17.7% during the second quarter of 2015 compared to 23.3% for the same period a year ago. The decline in gross
margin for the second quarter of 2015 was primarily attributable to (i) the reduced scale of operations resulting from lower revenues,
including the allocation of fixed costs mainly consisting of depreciation, to cost of revenues in the forged rolled rings and
related products and dyeing and finishing equipment segments combined with a slight increase in labor costs, and (ii) the production
of new styles of dyeing and finishing machines and (iii) the contribution of revenue from the sale of equipment to customers in
the petroleum and chemical industries, which currently has a low gross margin because the Company is a new entrant to this market
and is offering lower prices to attract customers.
Operating
expenses decreased 6.0% to $1.0 million, compared to $1.1 million in the comparable period last year. The decrease was primarily
due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expenses related to
new office equipment, furniture and other improvements which the Company started depreciating in 2014.
Operating
income was $1.7 million, compared to operating income of $3.0 million in the same period of 2014. Operating margin was 11.2% compared
to 17.3% in the same period of 2014.
EBITDA,
a non-GAAP measurement, which adds to net income interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, was $3.8 million,
compared to $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2014. The calculation of EBITDA is shown in a table following the financial
statements.
Net
income for the second quarter of 2015 was $1.2 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $2.2 million,
or $0.61 per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014.
Six
Month Results
For
the six months ended June 30, 2015, revenue was $30.8 million compared to $35.2 million in the first half of 2014. Gross profit
was $5.8 million, down from $8.4 million in the first half of 2014. Gross margin was 18.7%, compared to 23.8% in the first half
of 2014. Operating income was $3.5 million compared to $6.3 million in the first half of 2014. EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement,
was $7.7 million, compared to $10.5 million in the first half of 2014. Net income was $2.5 million, compared to $4.6 million in
the first half of 2014. Net income per basic and diluted share was $0.63 compared to $1.29 in the first half of 2014.
Financial
Condition
As
of June 30, 2015, Cleantech Solutions held cash and cash equivalents of $16.8 million compared to $7.8 million at December 31,
2014. Accounts receivable were $18.5 million compared to $20.3 million at December 31, 2014. Inventories were $4.6 million compared
to $4.2 million at December 31, 2014. Total current assets were $41.2 million as of June 30, 2015. The Company had $3.3 million
in short-term bank loans payable at June 30, 2015, compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2014. Stockholders’ equity was
$100.9 million at June 30, 2015. In the first half of 2015, the Company generated $8.7 million in cash flow from operations.
Business
Outlook
“Although
the Chinese economy is showing some signs of improvement, we expect capital spending by our customers to remain low, particularly
in the forged rolled rings and related products business. Following our participation at the 17th International
Exhibition on Textile Industry in Shanghai, we received several orders for our new air-fluid, dual-use dyeing machine and garment
washing machine which will help offset softer demand for our low-emission air-flow dyeing machines in the second half of the year.
We expect our petroleum and chemical equipment segment to make a larger contribution to revenues as we continue to make good progress
on fulfilling the orders we have on hand. We are excited by the growth opportunities available in these industries and are also
exploring opportunities to expand into other industries,” Mr. Wu concluded.
