China HGS Reports Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013 Results -

Revenue and Net Income Up by Over 47% and 77% respectively

 


HANZHONG, CHINA – August 14, 2013 – China HGS Real Estate Inc. (NASDAQ: HGSH) (“China HGS” or the “Company”), a leading regional real estate developer headquartered in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, China, today reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 ended June 30, 2013.

 

Highlights for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2013

lTotal revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were approximately $7.2 million, an increase of 47% from approximately $4.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2012.
lTotal gross floor area (“GFA”) sold during the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 13,287 square meters, more than 11% from 11,947 square meters sold in the same period of fiscal 2012.
lNet income for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 totaled approximately $2.3 million, representing a 77% increase from the net income of approximately $1.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2012.
lBasic and diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) attributable to shareholders for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $0.05, compared to $0.03 for the same period of fiscal 2012.

 

“We continued to show improved performance over the last year, reflecting a healthy housing demand in the markets we are serving. We have also experienced solid sales activities during this quarter in our pre-sales of the new residential high-rise buildings that are still under constructions. However, due to the full accrual accounting method we are using to recognize revenues, those pre-sale activities are not reflected in our reported revenues. This, combined with reduced sellable inventory levels, has caused our sequential comparison unfavorable,” Mr. Xiaojun Zhu, China HGS’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented.

 

“Going forward, we will continue to focus on and speed up the construction of our three on-going development projects: Mingzhu Beiyuan, Oriental Pearl Garden, and Yangzhou Pearl Garden. Upon completion of these high-rise residential buildings, our sellable inventory will be replenished, which, we expect, will accelerate the growth of our revenues long term,” concluded Mr. Xiaojun Zhu.

 

Financial Results for the third Quarter of Fiscal 2013

 

Revenues increased by 47% to approximately $7.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 from approximately $4.9 million for the same period of last year. The total GFA sold during the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was 13,287 square meters, representing an increase of 11% from 11,947 square meters sold for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company completed and delivered one high-rise building in Yangzhou Pearl Garden project and recognized approximately $2.7 million in revenue from the sold units in this building.

 

Gross profit was approximately $3.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to approximately $1.9 million for the same period of last year. The overall gross profit as a percentage of real estate sales before sales tax was 43.7%, increased from 38.2% for the same quarter of last year due to higher sales of higher margin commercial units in both Mingzhu Garden and Yangzhou Pear Garden projects during this quarter.

 

Total operating expenses increased by 58.7% to approximately $0.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 from approximately $0.5 million for the same period of last year. The increase in operating expenses consisted of an increase in selling expense and general and administration expenses, mainly attributable to more promotions, sales commission, consulting, marketing and real estate development activities as well as higher executive compensation, taxes and office expense. As a percentage of total sales, the operating expenses slightly increased to 10.1% for this quarter from 9.4% for the same quarter of last year.

 

 
 

The Company reported net income of approximately $2.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to net income of approximately $1.3 million for the same period of last year. The increase of approximately $0.9 million in our net income was primarily due to the increases in revenue and gross profit.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had total cash and restricted cash balance of approximately $4.1 million, increased by approximately $1.9 million compared to approximately $2.2 million cash and restricted cash balance as of September 30, 2012. Since most of our customers are first-time home buyers and our affordable housing units are in the pre-sales stage, we expect our cash flow will continue improving during the balance of fiscal 2013.
