Zhongpin maintained its guidance for the year 2011.
|
Mr. Xianfu Zhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zhongpin Inc., said, "We continued to achieve good results in the third quarter 2011 in our operations, financial results, and geographic and capacity expansions.
"Revenues grew 65% and net income was up 25% from third quarter 2010 as we continued to invest aggressively to expand our operations and marketing to support higher revenues and net income for the future. Total tonnage sold of pork and other products was up 6.8%, with average prices up 54.6%, in third quarter 2011 over third quarter 2010.
"Given our strong performance in this third quarter, we have maintained our guidance for the year 2011.
"Our construction projects are on schedule, with three coming into operation in the fourth quarter. These projects will help support growth in our current markets and in our geographic market expansions in northern and eastern China, which we expect will result in higher sales and a larger market share of the national pork market. These three projects include two facilities for chilled and frozen pork and one facility for prepared pork products. The openings of these production facilities are timed to support the higher demand from our new markets during the Chinese New Year from the last week of January through first week of February 2012.
"We are continuing to increase consumer awareness and purchases of Zhongpin products through sustained marketing and promotion programs, especially in the geographic regions where we are expanding our operations to support the growing demand for pork and related products.
"Under our Stock Repurchase Program, Zhongpin has purchased a total of 1,822,438 shares of its common stock for $15.8 million (including sales commissions) through September 30, 2011. We believe that these purchases will create additional value for shareholders.
"We remain on plan to deliver a very good year in 2011."
Capacity and market expansions
Zhongpin began operating its new phase 2 facility in Tianjin in September 2011, as planned. Phase 2 has a production capacity of 36,000 metric tons for prepared pork products. The phase 1 of the same facility began operating in January 2010 with a production capacity of 100,000 metric tons for chilled and frozen pork.
Zhongpin is investing about $61.5 million to build a slaughtering and processing plant, low temperature prepared pork plant, logistics center, and research and development center in Nong'an county in Changchun, Jilin. This facility will have a production capacity of about 70,000 metric tons for chilled pork, 25,000 metric tons for frozen pork, and 30,000 metric tons for prepared pork products. Construction began in September 2010. The Company expects to begin operating the chilled and frozen pork facility in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the prepared pork products facility in the third quarter of 2012.
Zhongpin is investing about $63.0 million to build a production facility, warehouse, and distribution center in Taizhou, Jiangsu. This facility will have a production capacity of about 80,000 metric tons for chilled and frozen pork, including easy-to-cook products, 20,000 metric tons for frozen pork, and 30,000 metric tons for prepared pork products. Construction began in September 2010. The Company expects to begin operating the chilled and frozen pork facility in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the new facility for prepared pork products in the third quarter of 2012.
Zhongpin is investing about $58.5 million, excluding the cost of land use rights that it has already obtained, to build a new production, research and development, and training complex in Changge, Henan. When complete, this new facility will have a production capacity of about 100,000 metric tons for prepared pork products. Adjacent to this new facility, the Company expects to develop a center for research and development, training, and quality assurance and control. Construction for the first phase with an annual production capacity of about 50,000 metric tons for prepared pork products began in the first quarter of 2011 and should be completed by the fourth quarter of 2011. The second phase, with a production capacity of about 50,000 metric tons for prepared pork products, should be completed by the fourth quarter of 2012. Zhongpin plans to open the research and development and training center by the fourth quarter of 2012.
Zhongpin has established a joint venture company, of which the Company owns 65%, with Henan Xinda Animal Husbandry Company Limited in June 2011. The joint venture company is financed by capital contributions, which have been made to date, and bank loans. The joint venture company is expected to provide 20,000 sire boars annually. The facility for sire boar breeding is under construction and should start operations in the first quarter 2012.
Zhongpin is investing approximately $18.0 million in a cold chain logistics distribution center in Anyang, Henan. This distribution center will have processing capacity, a temperature adjustable warehouse with a floor area of approximately 27,000 square meters, a distribution center, and a quality control center. The distribution center will be used for third-party cold chain logistics service. We expect to put this distribution center into operation in the third quarter of 2012.
Zhongpin plans to invest approximately $87.5 million in a chilled and frozen food processing and distribution center in Kunshan, Jiangsu, which is near Shanghai. The whole center will be built in three phases. The first phase will include a processing center, cold chain logistics center, and business complex. We expect to invest about $35.0 million on the first phase and expect to put it into operation in the fourth quarter of 2012.
As of September 30, 2011, Zhongpin had an annual capacity of 563,760 metric tons for chilled and frozen pork, 126,000 tons for prepared pork products, 20,000 tons for pork oil, and 30,000 tons for vegetables and fruits, for a combined total of 739,760 metric tons.
Outlook for pork demand and prices in China
China's economy continues to expand and pork continues to be China's preferred protein. Zhongpin believes that the outlook for China's pork processing industry remains quite positive.
Our purchasing cost of hogs and our selling price of pork both increased 60% in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same period last year, primarily because the supply of hogs was insufficient to satisfy demand and inflation increased the cost to raise hogs.
Zhongpin expects hog prices to remain stable in the fourth quarter 2011 and to increase moderately during the first quarter of 2012 due to the strong demand for pork during the Chinese New Year.
Guidance for the year 2011
Mr. Warren Wang, Zhongpin's Chief Financial Officer, said, "We are maintaining our guidance for the year 2011.
"The guidance for 2011 is based on several assumptions and judgments that include:
|
|
·
|
Continuation of China's policies designed to stimulate domestic consumption and economic growth.
|
|
|
·
|
Average pork prices in China are expected to remain relatively high for the rest of 2011, assuming steady economic growth and the forecast for the supply of and the cost to raise hogs.
|
|
|
·
|
A higher percentage of sales from our higher-margin chilled pork and prepared pork products in 2011 than in 2010, while continuing to increase the sales volume of processed pork products to optimize our product mix.
|
|
|
·
|
Average capacity utilization for the year of about 75% for pork products.
|
|
|
·
|
Increasing distribution efficiencies and reduction in the duration of delivery times by expanding our cold chain logistics system, networks, and services.
|
|
|
·
|
Continuing to reinforce awareness, recognition, and selection of Zhongpin brand products nationally and in the major regional markets and to increase our market share and price premium.
|
|
|
·
|
And continuation of the Chinese government's support and subsidies for producers of agricultural products, such as Zhongpin. Total government subsidies for Zhongpin are expected to exceed $5 million in 2011.
|
"Given those assumptions, here are our guidance numbers.
"For the year 2011, we expect that Zhongpin's sales revenues should be within a range of $1.33 billion to $1.37 billion.
"Gross profit margin is expected to be within the range of 11.2% to 11.8%.
"Net profit margin is expected to be within the range of 5.2% to 5.8%.
"Diluted earnings per share for the year 2011 is currently expected to be within the range of $1.80 to $2.05 per share, assuming average diluted common shares outstanding of about 38.0 million shares in 2011.
"Zhongpin believes that China's meat and food industry will continue to consolidate in 2011 at a more rapid pace than in 2010, which may result in higher market shares for our main competitors. However, we believe that Zhongpin is equipped to meet the challenge of increasing competition and that our guidance for 2011 can be achieved."
Sales revenues
Sales revenues increased $157.0 million or 65% to $398.1 million in the third quarter 2011 from $241.1 million in the third quarter 2010, primarily due to higher pork prices, higher sales volume in pork products resulting from the continuing increase in the number of retail channels, geographic expansion, and higher sales to chain restaurants, food service providers, and wholesalers and distributors in China. The following table presents our sales by product division for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010.

The increase in sales to different distribution channels was primarily due to the following factors:
|
|
·
|
the Company has built up its brand image and brand recognition through general advertising display promotions and sales campaigns;
|
|
|
·
|
the Company has increased the number of stores and other channels through which it sells its products;
|
|
|
·
|
Zhongpin believes that consumers are placing increased importance on food safety and are willing to pay higher prices for safe food products; and
|
|
|
·
|
pork prices began increasing in the middle of 2010 and peaked in the third quarter 2011.
|
Revenues from export sales increased $7.3 million or 192% to $11.1 million in the third quarter 2011 from $3.8 million the third quarter 2010.
Cost of sales
As discussed above, the raw material for all of our meat products are live hogs. Vegetable and fruit products are purchased from farmers located close to the Company's processing facility in Changge, Henan. As a result, the purchasing costs of live hogs and vegetables and fruits represent substantially all the costs of raw materials.
Costs of sales primarily include costs of raw materials, labor costs, and overhead. Of the total costs of sales, the costs of raw materials typically account for about 95% to 97%, overhead typically accounts for 2% to 3.5%, and labor costs typically account for 1.4% to 1.7%, with slight variations from period to period.

Gross profit margin (gross profit divided by revenue) decreased to 10.1% in the third quarter 2011 from 11.3% in the third quarter 2010 primarily due to (a) competition in the market, (b) the percent increase in pork prices being less than the percent increase in hog prices, which is the main component of cost of sales, and (c) increased promotional activities to grow our market share.
General, administrative, and selling expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million or 21% to $7.4 million in the third quarter 2011 from $6.1 million in the third quarter 2010 primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in salary and welfare expense, which was higher due to the hiring of additional employees to support the Company's growth and higher salaries aimed to partly offset inflation in China. As a percent of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 1.9% in the third quarter 2011 from 2.5% for the third quarter 2010.
Selling expenses increased $2.5 million or 46% to $7.9 million in the third quarter 2011 from $5.4 million in the third quarter 2010. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of pork and pork products, which were supported by a $1.5 million increase in transportation fees and a $0.7 million increase in salaries. As a percent of revenues, selling expenses decreased to 2.0% in the third quarter 2011 from 2.2% in the third quarter 2010.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense increased $4.6 million or 192% to $7.0 million in the third quarter 2011 from $2.4 million in the third quarter 2010 primarily due to higher bank borrowings that included an increase of $26.7 million in long-term bank loans and an increase of $5.2 million in short-term bank loans, the fact that more bank notes have been cashed before maturity in the third quarter of 2011, and higher interest rates set by the People's Bank of China. The increase was partly offset by an increase in interest income due to increased bank deposits.
Other income and government subsidies
Other income decreased 67% to $0.4 million in the third quarter 2011 from $1.2 million in the third quarter 2010. Government subsidies increased 18% to $1.1 million in the third quarter 2011 from $1.0 million in the third quarter 2010.
Provision for income taxes
The effective tax rate in China on income generated from the sale of prepared products is 25%. There is no income tax on income generated from the sale of raw products, including raw meat products and raw vegetable and fruit products. The decrease of $0.1 million in the provision for income taxes in the third quarter 2011 from the third quarter 2010 resulted from a change in product mix, the increased sales of prepared meat products, and increased allocation of cost and expenses to the prepared pork segment
Net income
Net income increased 24% to $18.3 million in the third quarter 2011 from $14.7 million in the third quarter 2010 primarily due to higher revenues from more tonnage sold at higher average prices, effective use and control of expenses, lower income taxes, and higher government subsidies, partly offset by higher net interest expense.
The net profit margin (net income divided by revenues) declined to 4.6% in the third quarter 2011 from 6.1% in the third quarter 2010, primarily due to higher interest on higher bank borrowings and lower gross margin in the third quarter 2011.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share were $0.46 in the third quarter 2011, up 9.5% from $0.42 in the third quarter 2010 on average basic shares outstanding that were 15% higher in the third quarter 2011 than in the third quarter 2010. Average basic shares outstanding were 39,918,816 shares in the third quarter 2011 and 34,725,104 shares in the third quarter 2010.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.46 in the third quarter 2011, up 9.5% from $0.42 in the third quarter 2010 on average diluted shares outstanding that were 13% higher in the third quarter 2011 than in the third quarter 2010. Average diluted shares outstanding were 39,918,816 shares in the third quarter 2011 and 35,328,199 shares in the third quarter 2010.
Liquidity and capital resources
As of September 30, 2011, Zhongpin had cash and cash equivalents of $116.6 million and working capital of $46.5 million. Working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2011 was $60.3 million, derived primarily from net income of $54.5 million, depreciation of $12.5 million, and other items.
Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2011 was $159.0 million, mainly used for construction in progress of $102.2 million, an increase in restricted cash of $35.7 million, deposits for the purchase of land use rights of $16.5 million, and additions to property and equipment of $4.6 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months of 2011 was $126.0 million, mainly from $66.4 million in proceeds from issuing new shares of common stock, net proceeds of $93.6 million from bank notes and short-term and long-term loans, less the repayment of long-term loans of $13.8 million, repayment of capital lease obligations of $5.1 million, and repurchases of Zhongpin's common stock of $15.8 million.
As a result, including the effects of currency exchange rate changes, cash and cash equivalents increased $32.4 million in the first nine months of 2011 to $116.6 million on September 30, 2011.
Zhongpin believes its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with its ability to secure bank borrowings, will be sufficient to finance its investment in new facilities, with budgeted capital expenditures of about $157.4 million over the next 12 months, and to satisfy its working capital needs. It intends to satisfy its short-term debt obligations that mature over the next 12 months through additional short-term bank loans, in most cases by rolling the maturing loans into new short-term loans with the same lenders as it has done in the past.
