SINOCOKING ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2014 RESULTS
PINGDINGSHAN, China, Sept. 29, 2014 -- SinoCoking Coal and Coke Chemical Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOK), a vertically-integrated coal and coke processor, today announced that, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the company had net income of $990,582, or $0.05 per share, on revenue of $50,267,693, compared to net income of $1,047,693, or $0.05 per share, on revenue of $66,686,301 for the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Basic and diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock for both fiscal 2014 and 2013 was 21,121,372.
The decrease in revenue in fiscal 2014 compared to last year was the result of a slowdown in sales of most of the company’s coal products, including raw coal, coal slurries, mid-coal, coke powder, and washed coal. This slowdown was caused by Chinese government policies aimed at reducing pollution and softness in the construction markets, which in turn affected demand for steel and its constituent coal. As a result, in fiscal 2014, the company’s coal products contributed only 13 percent of overall SinoCoking revenue, compared to 41 percent in fiscal 2013.
These decreases were offset in part by increased demand for the company’s coke products, such as finished coke, coke powder, coal tar, and crude benzol, which sell primarily to specialty steel industries including automotive, military and other non-construction industries. As a result of this increase in demand, coke products contributed 87 percent of total SinoCoking revenue in fiscal 2014 as compared to 59 percent in fiscal 2013.
In addition, due to strong increases in gross profit margin for the company’s coke products, SinoCoking’s overall gross profit margin in fiscal 2014 increased to 18 percent from 12 percent in fiscal 2013. This, in turn, helped the company to produce a fiscal 2014 net profit roughly comparable to that of fiscal 2013, despite a decrease in revenue of 25 percent.
SinoCoking’s most prominent accomplishment, however, during fiscal 2014 was the decision to transform the company into a producer of clean-burning synthetic gas (syngas) products. This transition began in May 2014, when the company commenced plans to build to build a coke gasification facility for the conversion of carbon dioxide into syngas. This facility, which is expected to commence production by the middle of October, will have an output capacity of 25,000 cubic meters of syngas per hour.
Furthering its transition plans, in August 2014, SinoCoking announced it had signed an exclusive agreement with two prominent state institutes to build an underground coal gasification facility that will convert the coal at four SinoCoking underground mines into syngas while sequestering the resulting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases underground. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed in March 2015 and yield a syngas output of 60,000 cubic meters per hour.
Looking forward, SinoCoking chief executive Mr. Jianhua Lv said that he expects the company’s two syngas projects, once running at full capacity, will produce “substantial revenue and gross profit.”
He said the company would soon issue an update on construction and financing developments at both facilities.
Further details about the company’s results in fiscal 2014 are available in its Annual Report Form 10-K, accessible in the investor relations section of the company’s website at http://www.scokchina.com.
