Yuhe
International Raises Net Income Guidance for Fiscal Year 2010
Weifang, Shandong Province, P.R.C.
December 15, 2010 - Yuhe International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YUII) (“Yuhe” or
“the Company”), a leading supplier of day-old chicken raised for meat
production, or broilers, in the People's Republic of China (“PRC”), today
announced that the Company has raised its net income guidance for fiscal year
2010, ending December 31, 2010.
The
Company raised its net income guidance for fiscal year 2010 to $18.5 million, up
from previously announced $17 million. The raised guidance represents growth in
net income of 44.5% as compared with fiscal year 2009. The Company expects the
production volume of day-old broilers to be 145 million heads for fiscal year
2010, slightly down for 0.5% from previously expected 150 million day-old
broilers. The updated guidance does not take into account of the impact of any
potential acquisitions.
"The
upward adjustment to our net income guidance was mainly due to an increase in
average selling prices of the day-old broilers, which have exceeded our initial
expectations,” commented Mr. Zhentao Gao, Chairman and CEO of Yuhe. “The day-old
broiler prices have stayed in high range from the third quarter of this year,
and is still gaining upward momentum going into December. As one of the largest
suppliers of day-old broilers in China, we are highly confident that the
favorable supply and demand dynamic in the day-old broiler market will continue
to support high unit selling prices throughout and beyond 2010, allowing us to
reach our updated financial guidance for the fiscal year 2010,” concluded Mr.
Gao.
