China Chemical’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Lu Feng, stated, “2010 was an exciting year for China Chemical, as we entered the U.S. capital markets and reached a milestone in our expansion strategy by completing our new 30,000-ton maleic anhydride facility. The new facility doubled our production capacity of MAH, our most profitable product, and our average selling price for MAH rose 48.6% in 2010 due to strong market demand, which also boosted revenue and gross profit. We achieved strong organic growth this year, with both top- and bottom-line growth well above 30% and a sales mix increase in MAH from 30% to more than 35% of total sales.”
“Looking forward,” Mr. Lu continued, “our outlook for 2011 is equally optimistic, as we will benefit from the revenue contribution of the new MAH plant, which became fully operational in January 2011. Progress on our 50,000-ton 1,4-butanediol facility remains on track following the beginning of site development in late 2010. Following its completion in 2013, we will be able to supply all of the plant’s MAH feedstock needs internally thanks to our new MAH expansion facility. We are very confident in our ability to achieve strong sustained growth and profitability for the next several years.”
Fiscal Year 2010 Results of Operations
Revenues
Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 were $75.7 million, compared to $56.9 million in 2009. The increase of 32.9%, or $18.8 million, was primarily due to increased sales of the Company’s two primary chemical products, phthalic anhydride (“PA”) and maleic anhydride (“MAH”). Sales of PA and MAH grew 24.4% and 56.8% year-over-year and made up 44.9% and 35.5% of total 2010 revenues, respectively.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $17.0 million or 22.4% of total revenues, as compared to $10.9 million or 19.1% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase of 56.0%, or $6.1 million, was primarily attributable to sales volume growth and an improvement in gross margin due to low growth in raw material prices.
Income from Operations
Operating income totaled $15.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to operating income of $9.6 million for the previous year. The increase of 60.4%, or $5.8 million, was due to the corresponding increase in revenues. General and administrative expenses grew 23.3% due to professional and consulting fees related to the Company’s entrance into the U.S. capital market.
Net Income
Net income after tax for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $13.7 million, an increase of 37.1%, or $3.7 million, as compared to $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, due to the reasons set forth above. Earnings per basic and diluted share were $0.61 for the year, compared with basic and diluted EPS of $0.50 for the previous year.
