Tianli Agritech Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results
 
WUHAN, China, Aug. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tianli Agritech, Inc. (NASDAQ:OINK) ("Tianli" or the "Company"), a leading producer of breeder hogs, market hogs and black hogs headquartered in Wuhan City, China, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
 
Mrs. Hanying Li, Chairwoman and CEO of Tianli Agritech commented, "Despite continued weakness in overall pork demand and a decline in pork prices, our revenue increased by 7% to $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2013 as the number of hogs we sold grew by 30% to a record level of 36,464 hogs which more than offset the 18% decline in average selling price per hog. We also resumed our retail operations and started to sell our Tianli-Xiduhei™ hog meat cuts through leading supermarket chains in the Wuhan market during the second quarter. Looking ahead, as we continue to focus on expanding our black hog program in Enshi prefecture and building out our retail operations, we believe Tianli is well positioned for a rebound of the hog industry in coming quarters."

Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $0.45 million, or 7%, to $6.84 million from $6.39 million for the same period of 2012. This increase was primarily the result of selling more breeder hogs and market hogs, partially offset by declines in the average selling prices for both breeder and market hogs. The Company sold a total of 36,464 breeder hogs, market hogs, and market hogs for processed pork products during the second quarter of 2013, compared to 28,034 hogs for the same period of 2012. Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 from breeder hog sales decreased 7% to $1.96 million with the number of breeder hogs sold increasing 12% to 7,718 hogs and the average selling price of breeder hogs decreasing 18% to $253 per hog. Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 from market hog sales increased 13% to $4.84 million as the number of market hogs sold grew 35% to 28,531 hogs and the average selling price of market hogs declined 16% to $169 per hog. The decline in average selling prices of both breeder and market hogs was mainly due to market conditions. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company also generated $0.05 million in revenue from retail operations that were resumed in April 2013. The Company sold 3,988 black hogs, generating $0.81 million in sales, during the second quarter of 2013. Sales of black hogs are included in the market hogs category in the discussion above and the table below.

Gross profit (loss) for the second quarter of 2013 was ($0.28) million, compared to gross income of $0.80 million for the same period of last year. Gross margin (deficit) was (4.0%) and 12.5% for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The combination of increased feed costs and lower hog selling prices contributed to the decrease in gross margin. The gross margins (deficit) for breeder hogs and market hogs were 24% and (15%), respectively, for the second quarter of 2013, versus 34% and 2%, respectively, for the same period of last year.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.28 million, or 67%, to $0.71 million for the second quarter of 2013.

Operating margin (deficit) for the second quarter of 2013 was (14.4%), compared to 5.9% for the same period of last year.
 
Net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2013 was $1.14 million, compared to net income of $0.27 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of the deterioration in gross margin and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as explained above. After allocating net loss attributable to non-controlling interest, net loss attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2013 was $1.00 million, or a loss of $0.09 per diluted share. This compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $0.32 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period of last year.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased $1.13 million, or 9%, to $14.23 million from the same period of 2012.
