Fuling Global Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Company to Host Earnings Conference Call on Tuesday, November 17, 8:00 am ET

 

ALLENTOWN, Pennsylvania and TAIZHOU, China, Nov. 16, 2015/ PRNewswire/ -- Fuling Global Inc. (NASDAQ:FORK) (“Fuling Global” or the “Company”), a specialized producer and distributor of environmentally-friendly plastic serviceware, with precision manufacturing facilities in both the U.S. and China, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

 

Mr. Xinfu Hu, Chief Executive Officer of Fuling Global, commented, “We are excited to share our first quarterly earnings results following our listing on NASDAQ earlier this month. We are particularly pleased to report that our net income in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 increased by 17% compared with the same quarter in 2014. In our industry, revenues and expenses are heavily tied to the cost of raw materials, in our case plastic. As a result, when plastic prices dropped significantly from the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, with the average monthly price for polypropylene (“PP”), general purpose polystyrene (“GPPS”), and high impact polystyrene (“HIPS”) down 26%, 31%, and 29%, respectively, the decreases of our revenues (down 3%) and expenses (down 8%) similarly reflect such decreases, even in a strong quarter where we sold 5% more products by weight than we sold in 2014. We are encouraged by this quarter’s results, which show improved gross and operating margins, net income and sales volume.”

 

Mrs. Guilan Jiang, Chairwoman of Fuling Global, added, “Our IPO on NASDAQ is an important step toward becoming a significant player in the global plastic serviceware market. We expect the increased publicity and name recognition that come with being a NASDAQ-listed company, combined with our access to new sources for capital, position us well for growth. Our current growth initiatives focus on increasing our penetration in selected markets and expanding our production capacity.”

Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results

 

Revenues

 

For the third quarter of 2015, total revenues decreased by $0.7 million, or 3%, to $22.4 million from $23.1 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in total revenues was mainly driven by 7% decrease in blended ASP for our products sold as a result of lower plastic prices and partially offset by 5% increase in overall shipment volume. Blended ASP per kilogram was $2.37 for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $2.56 for the same period of last year. Sales volume was 9,445 tons for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 8,996 tons for the same period of last year.

Revenues from cutlery decreased by $2.0 million, or 14%, to $11.9 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $13.9 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in revenues from cutlery was primarily driven by 8% decrease in ASP as well as 7% decrease in sales volume. The decrease in cutlery volume was primarily related to temporary decrease in orders from two U.S.-based customers that reduced inventory levels during the third quarter of 2015. Revenues from straws increased by $0.7 million, or 22%, to $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $3.1 million for the same period of last year. This increase was primarily driven by 29% increase in sales volume and partially offset by 5% decrease in ASP. We commenced production of straws at our Allentown facility on June 30, 2015. Revenues from cups and plates decreased by $0.1 million, or 2%, to $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $5.5 million for the same period of last year. Volume of cups and plates increased by 17% while ASP of cups and plates decreased by 16% for the third quarter of 2015. Revenues from other products, including products for family use, party and other entertainment purposes, increased by approximately $0.8 million, or 165%, to $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $0.5 million for the same period of last year. This increase was mainly due to sales of measuring cups, which we introduced to the market in 2015. Volume of other products increased by 187% while ASP of other products decreased by 8% for the third quarter of 2015.
