China HGS Reports Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2015 Results

 


HANZHONG, CHINA – August 7, 2015 – China HGS Real Estate Inc. (NASDAQ: HGSH) (“China HGS” or the “Company”), a leading regional real estate developer headquartered in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, China, today reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 ended June 30, 2015 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. An electronic copy of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q can be accessed on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

 

Highlights for the Quarter

 

lTotal revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were approximately $26 million, a decrease of 10% from approximately $28.9 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2014. Total revenues recognized from percentage of completion method were approximately $25.6 million, which accounted for 98.2% of total revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The year-over-year decrease of revenue was primarily due to limited inventory on completed projects.

 

lNet income for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 totaled approximately $13.7 million, an increase of approximately $5.5 million from the net income of approximately $8.2 million in the same period of last year. The increased net income in this quarter compared to the same quarter of last year was primarily due to sales of higher margin commercial and parking units during the current period.

 

lFor the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company achieved a positive operating cash flow of approximately $13.1 million, compared to negative operating cash flow of approximately $30.7 million in the same period of last year.

 

lBasic and diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) attributable to shareholders for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were $0.30, an increase of 66.7% from $0.18 for the same quarter of last year.

 

“I am very pleased that the Company reported strong earnings this quarter, with net income up 68% compared to the same period of last year. As we are selling out our inventory on completed projects, our sales were negatively impacted due to limited number of units for customer selection,” said Mr. Xiaojun Zhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China HGS. “The overall slower economic environment in China posted challenges for real estate industry. However, our regional real estate market remains stable, with average unit price held steady. Our commercial property and parking units with higher average unit price are particularly in strong demand. Our near term effort is to focus on completion of the projects currently under construction as soon as possible. We expect our contract sales and revenue will improve as we have more GFA available for sale,” concluded Mr. Xiaojun Zhu.
