ChainTek (AIM:CTEK), the provider of logistics services to manufacturers of consumer goods in China, today announces its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2013 (the "period").

Financial Highlights

 
 --   Revenue up 6% to RMB167.7 million (H1 2012: RMB158.8 million) 
 --   EBITDA up 9% to RMB135.3 million (H1 2012: RMB124.3 million)

       million)

 --   Cash position of RMB249.1 million (H1 2012: RMB159.1 million) 
 

Operational Highlights

In the Logistics Services Division, significant progress has been made in diversifying the Group's customer base into new sectors, such as food and building materials. These new sectors accounted for 23% (H1 2012: 17%) of the division's revenues.

Since the beginning of 2013, ChainTek has continued to win new business in both the logistics service and inventory solutions segments. For the six months ended 30 June 2013, a total of 15 new customers have been added, with 14 in the logistics service business in Jinjiang City, covering the sectors of shoes and apparel, food, building materials and automobile parts, and one in the inventory solutions business in the shoe sector in a regional distribution centre ("RDC") in Guangzhou.

As previously announced, the Group intends to build a logistics park which will be located on a plot of land in an industrial zone in Jinjiang 14km from the Group's existing operational headquarters, and which already houses a number of ChainTek's existing key manufacturer customers. The Group is currently in discussions with the local government and the developer of the logistics park to acquire the Land Use Right over the plot of land and will satisfy the final condition of the acquisition when it pays the final tranche of the consideration. It is anticipated that this will occur in Q4 2013.

Commenting on the Interim Results, Shufang Zhuang, Executive Director and the Group's founder, said: "Trading since the year end has been in line with management's expectations and results for the six months ended 30 June 2013 are also in line with current market expectations. Total revenues for the period grew 6% compared to the same period in 2012, with profit before tax increasing by 9% to RMB133 million. In the Group's core Logistics Services Division we were pleased with the continued diversification of our customer base, building on our existing strength in the sports shoes and apparel sector and moving into growing markets such as food and building materials. The Inventory Solutions business has added one new customer and ended the period with six customers. The Board is pleased with the demand we are seeing for this division.

"ChainTek's cash position at 30 June 2013 was RMB249 million and the Group is well positioned to benefit from the Chinese economy's need for efficient domestic logistics services as it switches to a model of increasing investment and internal consumption. ChainTek's core business is strengthening and the Board looks forward with confidence to offering increased value and service to our varied customer base."

Chairman's Statement

It is with pleasure that I present to you the results of China Chaintek United Co., Ltd. for the six months ended 30 June 2013.

Financial Overview

The Group has continued to grow satisfactorily with revenues and profit before tax both in line with the Board's expectations. For the six months ended 30 June 2013, revenues amounted to RMB 167.7 million, which represents a 6% increase compared to the same period in 2012.

The Logistics Services Division, the Group's core business, represented 86% of total revenue. Sales have grown by 5% to RMB144.0 million and gross margin increased from 90% to 94%. Most encouraging has been the diversification of customers requiring logistics services with the Company achieving 14 new customers and 292 in total.

The Inventory Solution Division has also seen robust growth in the period. Revenues increased by 8% over H1 2012 to RMB23.7 million and gross margin grew from 47% to 52%. The number of customers of the Division increased to six during the period.

EBITDA for H1 2013 has increased by 9% to RMB135.8 million (H1 2012: RMB124.6 million). Profit for the period also increased 8% from RMB90.4 million for the six months ended 2012 to RMB97.9 million in the same period of 2013.

As at 30 June 2013, the Group had a net cash position of RMB249.1 million compared with RMB159.1 million as at 30 June 2012.

Business Review

The People's Republic of China ("PRC") is the second largest economy in the world with a GDP in 2012 of approximately RMB51.9 trillion, and the PRC is widely anticipated to become the world's largest economy overtaking the USA around 2016.

The PRC is also undergoing a structural economic shift from an economy fuelled by exports to one of investment and internal consumption. The rapid growth of domestic income in the PRC is driving consumption, especially in respect of food, consumer goods and health care. Such economic adjustments continue to increase demand for logistics services in the PRC. Logistics costs are relatively high in the PRC where they were estimated to represent approximately 18% of GDP in 2010, compared to less than 10% of GDP in Europe and the USA in the same year.

The size of the Chinese domestic logistics market as a whole is expected to double during the period of the PRC's "twelfth five-year plan", which ends in 2015. The continuing development of the PRC's logistics sector and the increase in operational efficiency is likely to further support and expedite the PRC's economic development. The logistics industry has become a growth driver for national economic development and is supported at government level.

In a Chinese Government White Paper Plan of Adjustment and Revitalisation of the Chinese Logistic Industry, published in 2009, the logistics industry was the only service industry listed in Government supported projects. Furthermore, in August 2011, the State Council, the PRC's cabinet, issued new guidelines to promote the development of the country's logistics industry. These guidelines include reduced taxation and land policies geared towards logistics enterprises.

In May 2013, the Chinese State Council issued new guidance notes on speeding up and improving logistics infrastructure across China, focused on developing nationwide logistics hardware facilities, reducing inappropriate road tolls, and constructing regional logistics centres. These new policies further demonstrate the government's support of the logistics industry as a whole in China. The Board believes these policies will be beneficial to the Group's business model in the long-term, as well as for the Group's near-term plan to construct a modern logistics park.

The Logistics Services Division of ChainTek has continued to grow and diversify its client base, particularly into the food and building materials industries which comprised 23% of total revenue during the period (H1 2012: 17%). The division continues to reduce its reliance on shoes and apparel, which now comprise 70% of revenue (H1 2012: 72%). In addition, with the sportswear and apparel industries in China moving up the value chain, the Board believes the trend to greater outsourcing is likely to continue.

The Inventory Solutions Division of the Group is focused on providing outsourced inventory storage and management services including sorting, packing, labelling and short-term storage. The division now accounts for 14% of Group revenues and, since its establishment in 2010, continues to grow in line with the Board's strategy and expectations. One new customer in the shoe sector in a regional distribution centre ("RDC") in Guangzhou has been added and there are now a total numbers of six customers in this division as at 30 June 2013. The Board believes that revenue from this division will see a material uplift once the new logistics park is completed and fully operational.

Outlook

The Board is pleased with the strong progress that has been made during the period. With the ongoing diversification and strengthening of the Group's customer base, the Chinese government's support for the logistics industry and the growth that will be driven by Chaintek's new logistics park, the Board views the future with confidence.

   10.       Operating segments 

For management reporting purposes, the Group is organised into the following reportable operating segments:

 
 (a)   Logistics services- includes the arrangement of land transportation 
        services. 
 (b)   Inventory solutions - includes the provision of warehousing 
        services. 
 (c)   Head office - includes investment holdings and Head Office 
        which incurs general corporate expenses. 
 

Segment accounting policies are the same as the policies described above. Intra- and inter-segment transactions were carried out at terms agreed between the parties during the financial year. Intra- and inter-segment transactions were eliminated in preparing consolidated financial information.

Segment revenue and expense:

Segment revenue and expenses are the operating revenue and expenses reported in the Group's statement of comprehensive income that are directly attributable to a segment and the relevant portion of such revenue and expense that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to a segment.

Segment assets and liabilities:

Segment assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Capital expenditure includes the total cost incurred to acquire plant and equipment directly attributable to the segment.

Group cash resources, financing activities and income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments. Unallocated assets comprise cash and cash equivalents. Unallocated liabilities comprise income tax payable.

The Group Chief Executive Officer ("Group CEO") monitors the operating results of its operating segments for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit before income tax, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group CEO.
