HARBIN, China, February 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Rodobo International, Inc. (the "Company" or "Rodobo") (OTC Bulletin Board: RDBO.OB), a fast growing dairy company in China, reported financial results for the first quarter ended December 31, 2010.
 
First Quarter 2011 Highlights:
 
●
Revenue was $25.6 million, up 153.9% from $10.1 million in 1Q10, close to the upper range of the Company’s 1Q11 guidance  $24 - $26 million
●
Gross profit was $9.8 million, up 84.8% from $5.3 million in 1Q10
●
Net income was $4.1 million, up 80.2% from $2.3 million in 1Q10, outperforming 1Q11 guidance range of  $3.2 - $3.5 million
●
Earnings per diluted share was $0.15, up from $0.14 in 1Q10

Second Quarter 2011 Guidance:
 
Management feels confident to give its guidance for the second quarter of 2011 for revenue to be in the range of $23 - $26 million and net income to be in the range of $3.3 - $3.6 million.

“We started off 2011 with another quarter of record revenue and strong profitability. It is our fifth consecutive top line growth quarter,” stated Mr. Yanbin Wang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We saw continuous strong market demand for Rodobo’s high quality and nutritious milk powder products in the first quarter, especially for whole milk powder products. During the quarter, we further developed our existing market by adding more sales outlets and strived to increase sales per outlet. We will continue to consolidate our acquisition, realign our product lines and improve our capacity utilization in the rest of this year.”

First Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Net sales for the first quarter of 2011 were $25.6 million, an increase of approximately $15.5 million or 153.9%, compared to net sales for first quarter of 2010. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy Factory (“Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue”) on February 5, 2010. We also increased the selling price of whole milk powder products produced by Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue after the acquisition. During the first quarter of 2011, we continued our efforts to develop distribution networks and expand the market areas in the 9 provinces in which we currently sell products.

During the first quarter of 2011, sales generated from infant formula accounted for 43.7% of total sales, sales generated from middle-aged and elderly formula accounted for 14.1% of our total sales, and sales generated from whole milk powder formula accounted for 42.2% of total sales.

Our gross profit for the first quarter of 2011 was $9.8 million, an increase of approximately $4.5 million or 84.8%, compared to the gross profit for the first quarter of 2010. The overall gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2011 decreased to 38.2% from 52.6% for the first quarter of 2010.
 

 
 
 
 
Our overall gross profit margin was diluted due to the acquisition of lower-margin businesses. Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue has a gross margin of 8.4% for the first quarter of 2011. Excluding the margin dilution impact of the acquisition, gross profit margin actually improved to 59.1% for the first quarter of 2011 from 52.6% for the first quarter of 2010, which was primarily driven by the gross margin improvement for middle-aged and elderly formula from 46.9% in the first quarter of 2010 to 51.7% in the first quarter 2011. Sales from middle-aged and elderly formula accounted for approximately 24.0% of total sales (excluding sales from Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue) in the first quarter of 2011 compared to 4.6% a year ago.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2011 were $6.1 million, an increase of approximately $2.8 million, or 85.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2010. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 24.0% in the first quarter of 2011 from 32.8% in the first quarter of 2010. The decrease of operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses, mostly due to fewer distribution expenses by Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue as its whole milk powder products are sold directly to end users’ processing plants.
 
Distribution expenses for the first quarter of 2011 were $5.3 million, an increase of approximately $2.7 million or 104.8%, compared to $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2010, mainly due to an increase of $1.4 million in distribution expense reimbursements as a result of sales increases and market expansion and an increase of $0.6 million in advertising expenses. The increase was also attributed to $0.4 million amortization of customer list that we acquired in connection with the acquisitions made on February 5, 2010.
 
Net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $4.1 million, an increase of $1.8 million or 80.2%, compared to $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2010. This increase in net income includes a $0.5 million of change in fair value of warrants in the first quarter 2011. Earnings per diluted share were $0.15 for the first quarter of 2011, compared with $0.14 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2010.
