Qiao Xing Mobile Reports First Half 2010 Financial Results
 
Beijing, China (September 10, 2010) — Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. (NYSE: QXM) (‘‘QXM’’ or the “Company’’), a domestic manufacturer of mobile handsets in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
First Half 2010 Results
²   Revenues were RMB324.0 million (US$47.8 million) compared to RMB1,039.6 million in the first half of 2009.
 
²   Handset shipments were 621,000 units compared to 1,593,000 units in the first half of 2009.
 
²   Gross margin was 3.3% compared to 20.7% in the first half of 2009.
 
²   Operating loss was RMB85.1 million (US$12.6 million) compared to an income of RMB122.6 million in the first half of 2009.
 
²   Net loss attributable to holders of ordinary shares was RMB64.5 million (US$9.5 million) in the first half of 2010.
Revenues for the first half year of 2010 were RMB324.0 million (US$47.8 million), compared with RMB1,039.6 million in the same period of 2009. The decrease from the first half year of 2009 was primarily due to lower unit shipments and a decrease in the average selling price (“ASP”) of products sold in the first half year of 2010.
Total handset shipment in the first half year of 2010 was 621,000 units, compared with 1,593,000 units in the same period of 2009. The decrease in handset shipments compared to the same period of last year was primarily due to fewer new model launches and a slow-down in shipments amid intense competition in the PRC handset market.
The ASP of handset products decreased to RMB513 (US$76) in the first half year of 2010, as compared to RMB646 in the first half year of 2009. The lower ASP compared to the same period last year was primarily due to the launch of lower-priced products to target the lower-end market and price reductions to drive sales in an increasingly competitive environment.
Gross profit in the first half year of 2010 was RMB10.8 million (US$1.6 million), compared with RMB214.8 million in the same period of 2009. Gross margin was 3.3% in the first half year of 2010, compared with 20.7% in the same period of 2009. The year-over-year decline in gross margin resulted primarily due to the decline in ASP.
Selling and distribution (“S&D”) expenses in the first half year of 2010 were RMB60.9 million (US$9.0 million), compared with RMB52.5 million in the same period of 2009. The increase in S&D expenses in the first half of 2010 was primarily due to the increased advertising and promotion costs to push sales in a difficult business environment.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were RMB23.5 million (US$3.5 million), compared with RMB23.9 million in the same period of 2009. Share-based compensation expenses recognized in G&A were RMB9.3 million (US$1.4 million) in the first

 


 

half year of 2010, compared to RMB5.5 million in the first half year of 2009. The increase in share-based compensation expenses was, however, offset by reduced business costs which resulted from stricter cost control.
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were RMB9.4 million (US$1.4 million), compared to RMB13.5 million in the same period of 2009. The lower R&D expenses comparing with the same period of last year was primarily due to lower payroll costs and software license fees.
Total share-based compensation expenses, which have been allocated to S&D, G&A and R&D expenses, increased to RMB11.0 million (US$1.6 million) in the first half of 2010 from RMB6.5 million in the same period of 2009.
Operating loss for the first half of 2010 was RMB85.1 million (US$12.6 million), compared to an income of RMB122.6 million in the first half of 2009.
Net loss attributable to holders of ordinary shares in the first half of 2010 was RMB64.5 million (US$9.5 million), compared to RMB62.1 million in the same period of 2009.
Basic and diluted loss per share were RMB1.22 (US$0.18) and RMB1.53 (US$0.23) in the first half of 2010, respectively. For the first half year of 2009, basic and diluted loss per share were both RMB1.30.
