CD International Enterprises Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2012 Ended March 31, 2012

DEERFIELD BEACH, FL--(5/10/12) - CD International Enterprises, Inc. (“CD International”) (NASDAQ:CDII), a U.S. based company that produces, sources, and distributes industrial commodities in China and the Americas and provides business and financial corporate consulting services, announced today its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 ended  March 31, 2012.

 
-
2nd quarter fiscal 2012 revenue of $41.9 million with net income of $2.0 million compared to revenue of  $42.3 million  with a net loss of ($14,000) in the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2011
 
-
2nd quarter fiscal 2012 earnings per basic and diluted share of $0.05  compared to  $(0.00) in the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2011
 
-
First six months of fiscal 2012 basic and diluted EPS climbs to $0.12 compared to $0.10 for the first six months of fiscal 2011

Financial Highlights

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, total revenues were $41.9 million with net income attributable to common stockholders of $2.0 million.  This compares to revenues of $42.3 million with net loss attributable to common stockholders of ($14,000) recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Our operations resulted in net income of $0.05 per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 on 41.5 million basic weighted average shares and 42.2 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  This compares to a net loss of $(0.00) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 on 34.7 million basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.   Our gross profit margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased to 15.6% compared to 7.6% in the comparable period in fiscal 2011.  Net profit margins also increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, reaching 4.8% compared to 0% in the comparable period in fiscal 2011 largely attributable to an increase in higher margin revenues from our consulting segment and to a lesser degree from a change in our depreciation method applied to our magnesium segment. For the first six months of fiscal 2012, we recorded net income attributable to common stockholders of $5.1 million or $0.12 per basic and diluted share on 41 million weighted average shares outstanding as compared to net income of $3.4 million or $0.10 per basic and diluted share on 33 million weighted average shares outstanding.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2012 we shipped 9,329 metric tons of magnesium at an average sales price of $2,773 per metric ton resulting in revenue of $25.9 million, inclusive of only one month of sales from our acquisition of Golden Trust and Lingshi Magnesium completed on February 29, 2012. This compares to 9,194 metric tons shipped in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 at an average sales price of $2,639 per metric ton contributing to $24.3 million in revenue.  We have experienced softness in global demand mainly as a result of uncertainties related to the ongoing European debt situation that began last October and continued through the second quarter of fiscal 2012.   However, the overall demand environment is slowly improving as reflected by a recent uptrend in spot magnesium prices and quoting activities.   Additionally, we have been able to achieve a substantial sequential improvement in our gross margins.  As a result of our belief that overall demand will further improve in the second half of calendar 2012, management has added to our magnesium inventory in the quarter.  In our basic materials segment, we recorded overall revenue of $10.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, a decline of $6.0 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011.  The decrease in revenues was due to a sharp decline in sales volumes from our construction steel related products as slower construction expansion and tightened credit conditions in China impacted our customers' ability to obtain financing to purchase our products.  In our consulting segment, revenues totaled $5.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to revenues of $1.6 million recorded in the comparable period of fiscal 2011.  This increase was primarily attributable to a transaction fee we received for consulting services provided to a new client in this quarter.  With the addition of this new client, we currently have seven active clients.
