Yayi International Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2011 Financial Results
Feb. 15, 2011 -- Yayi International Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board:YYIN) ("Yayi International" or "the Company"), the first mover and a leading producer and distributor of premium goat milk formula products for infants, toddlers, young children, and adults in the Peoples Republic of China (China), today announced unaudited financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 ended December 31, 2010.
Third Quarter Highlights
-
Net sales increased 29.1% to $6.3 million from $4.9 million in the prior year period
-
Gross profit increased 13.0% to $3.9 million from $3.4 million in the prior year period
-
Gross margin was 61.0% compared to 69.7% in the prior year period
-
Net loss was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the prior year period
-
Adjusted net loss was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the prior year period
Ms. Li Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Yayi International, commented, "We were pleased to achieve year-over-year sales growth despite a challenging business climate and generate $1.7 million of cash from operations during the third quarter. In August 2010, the Chinese media began reporting hormone additions found in domestic infant formula had created health problems for infants throughout China. Though testing by the Ministry of Health later showed these allegations to be unfounded, the news has once again stirred up consumer anxiety and distrust among Chinas fragile infant formula industry, which had just begun to recover from the melamine crisis. Despite the challenging environment, we have made significant progress on building a strong foundation for our companys future growth.
Ms. Liu continued, Our portfolio restructuring efforts have begun to yield positive results. We have analyzed our original 58 product varieties to identify the 10 best performing varieties to better concentrate our market development efforts and repositioned ourselves as a premium infant milk powder producer. As with the second fiscal quarter, we have achieved higher net sales with our 10 product varieties than with the original 58 product varieties in the prior year period. Moving forward, we will build upon the success drivers of these products to further enhance our product offerings. We also benefitted from a healthy rise in sales price per unit to $23 per kilogram from $18 per kilogram. Although the market conditions may remain challenging for the next few quarters, we believe that the high quality of our product and the strength of our brand will ultimately translate to strong sales growth and profitability.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 Financial Performance
For the three months ended December 31, 2010, net sales increased 29.1% to $6.3 million from $4.9 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by a 26.5% increase in unit sales price to $23 per kilogram from $18 per kilogram due to a revenue shift towards premium formula products along with an increase in sales volume of 1.9% . Third quarter 2011 net sales included slotting fees of $1.5 million reflecting the Companys shift towards distribution through nationwide supermarket chains.
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased 13.0% to $3.9 million on a year-over-year basis. Gross profit margin narrowed to 61.0% from 69.7% in the prior year period, which was attributable to rising raw material costs as well as an increase in product promotion costs as the Company continued its aggressive consumer marketing activities to aid its product portfolio transformation.
Operating loss was $0.4 million compared to an operating profit of $1.3 million for the prior year period. Operating expenses for the fiscal third quarter increased to $4.2 million from $2.2 million for the prior year period. Sales and marketing expense increased by 88.7% to $3.1 million from $1.6 million in the prior year period as the Company continued to invest in building its Milkgoat brand. Furthermore, the Company continued to strengthen its distribution capability through methods such as hiring temporary promoters and conducting a sales roadshow program across 23 provinces and municipalities during the quarter to drive product awareness and brand equity. General and administrative expense increased to $1.1 million from $0.5 million, reflecting stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million as well as increased salary costs to strengthen the senior management team.
Net loss was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per basic share and $0.01 per diluted share for the prior year period.
Adjusted net loss available to common shareholders was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share compared to adjusted net income of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per basic share and $0.01 per diluted share, for the prior year period. For a full reconciliation of adjusted net income, please refer to the reconciliation table at the end of the release.
Nine Months Financial Performance
Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 increased 25.8% to $22.4 million, from $17.8 million for the same period of 2009. Gross profit increased 18.8% to $14.3 million from $12.1 million from the prior year period. Operating income was $0.1 million compared to $5.9 million in the prior year period. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $0.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the prior year period. Adjusted net income available to common shareholders was $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 compared to net income of $3.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share for the prior year period.
Financial Condition
As of December 31, 2010, Yayi International held $11.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. Cash flows used in operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 were $1.7 million.
Operational Updates
The Company is in the process of renewing its production licenses with China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ). Following the media hormone allegations, AQSIQ released a new regulation requiring all domestic dairy producers to reapply for production licenses by the end of calendar year 2010 or face suspension in March 2011. The Company will provide an update as new material information becomes available.
The Company expects its Jinghai Tianjin facility to start operations by the end of the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2012, provided that it is successful in obtaining the required license and completing the necessary equipment installations.
Financial Outlook
The Company is now expecting revenues to be in the range of $26 million to $28 million for the 2011 fiscal year. This forecast reflects the Company’s current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.
Ms. Liu added, “We have chosen to adjust our guidance due to the recent turbulence of China’s infant formula market, which has created a challenging environment for implementing our transformation strategy. AQSIQ’s inspections have disrupted our normal manufacturing schedules and the roll out of our supermarket-focused distribution strategy has been slower than expected in the second half of calendar 2010. To adapt to the challenges we have encountered, we plan to refocus our efforts on infant-maternity stores to capitalize upon their greater repeat sale potential and shorter sales cycle. This will allow us to boost our short-term sales as we continue to execute on our long-term supermarket expansion plan.”
“Furthermore, we believe the recent scandal will change the competitive landscape of China’s infant formula market and create opportunities for market share gains as less established players in the goat milk segment may be forced to exit the market. We expect more visibility after March 2011 when the approval process for new licenses is finalized. In the meantime, we are confident that our dual-pronged approach of developing infant-maternity stores while continuing to execute on our supermarket penetration strategy will build a solid foundation for our future growth momentum and profitability.”
