Second Half 2010 Financial Results

Revenue for the second half of fiscal year 2010 totaled $58.7 million, with $27.3 million, or 46% generated from the sale of coated pre-stressed steel materials that are used in the construction of bridges. This represented an increase of $9.4 million, or 53% over $17.8 million in sales of coated pre-stressed steel products during the same period of 2009.  In addition, among the $27.3 million sales of coated pre-stressed steel materials, $25.8 million, or 95% of the sales were contributed by sales of rare earth coated pre-stressed steel wires and strands.

 
 

 

Gross profit increased $4.2 million to $13.0 million, representing a gross margin of 22.0%. The primary reason for the increases in both gross profits and gross margin was increased sales of higher margin coated pre-stressed steel wires and strands, which on average generate a gross margin around 29.1% as compared to roughly 12.2% for the plain surface products.

Operating income was $11.8 million in the last six months of 2010, up from $8.0 million in the comparable period in 2009, with associated operating margins of 20.1% and 13.2%, for each respective period.  Net income and EPS were $7.5 million and $0.38 for the second half of 2010 compared to $5.8 million and $0.38, respectively, in the second half of 2009.

2010 was a key inflection point for Ossen.” stated Dr. Liang Tang, Chairman of Ossen Innovation. “We dramatically increased production of our coated products, which positively impacted our growth, margins and profitability. As the Chinese government continues to push forward on multiple high profile bridge projects around the country, demand for our products remain strong. We believe that once we complete our new coated products capacity expansion, we will further solidify our position as a market leader.”

Sales of rare earth coated PC wires and PC strands increased by $41.1 million to $57.7 million due to high demand and management’s deliberate strategy to increase sales of this high margin product. These products accounted for approximately 49% of sales in 2010 compared to 15% in 2009.

Sales of stabilized PC wires were $16.3 million compared to $52.2 million in 2009 as a result of the Company allocating production capacity away from commodity products to rare earth coated products, which commenced production in the second half of 2009.

For the fiscal year 2010, cost of goods sold was $92.9 million, with gross profit of $24.6 million. Gross margin was 20.9% for 2010 compared to 13.3% in 2009.

Operating expenses for fiscal year 2010 were approximately $1.9 million, consisting of $0.7 million in selling expenses and $1.2 million in general and administrative expenses. Operating income totaled $22.7 million, with operating margins of approximately 19.3%, compared to $11.8 million and 11.7% in fiscal year 2009.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the full year 2010 was $14.6 million with corresponding earnings per share of $0.73 based on 20 million shares outstanding. The Company generated $8.0 million of net income and $0.53 earnings per share in fiscal year 2009.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

Ossen had approximately $26.1 million of cash and restricted cash as of December 31, 2010 compared to $20.2 million as of December 31, 2009. Total net accounts receivable declined from $15.2 million at the end of 2009 to $13.3 million as of December 31, 2010.

For fiscal year 2010, the Company had a net cash outflow from operations of approximately $25 million. Inventories increased by approximately $18 million to $27.9 million as a result of increasing demand and higher sales. Total advances to suppliers were $25.1 million, 98% of which were within 60 days. The Company raised approximately $20.3 million from its initial public offering in December 2010, which is being used to fund its additional 30,000-ton rare earth coated production facility expansion. Through December 31, 2010, Ossen has spent $7.6 million for equipment purchases related to this expansion.
