Company to Host Earnings Conference Call on Tuesday, March 24, 2020, at 8:00 am EST

  

BAODING, China, March 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- IT Tech Packaging, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ITP) (“IT Tech Packaging” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer and distributor of diversified paper products in North China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and audited financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

 

“Our revenues and profitability continued to improve in 2019 as we shook off the effects of the 2018 production suspensions resulting from air-pollution controls, in part due to our 2018 equipment upgrades. Our total revenue was $117.6 million, a 35.6% year-over-year increase, resulting from a 59.5% growth of overall sales volume that was partially offset by a 15% decrease in average selling prices over all categories of products,” commented by Mr. Zhengyong Liu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 

“With 135.1% and 121.1% growth in gross profit and net income, respectively, our margins and profitability substantially improved in fiscal year 2019 thanks to a continued increase in sales volume for all products, combined with decreases in operating expenses. With completion of trial operation of our PM9 production line in the fourth quarter of 2019, our tissue paper products recorded total sales of $6.4 million from both PM8 and PM9 in the year. In addition, with $20.4 million of sales, we delivered 297.8% growth in offset printing paper for 2019.

 

“Despite a short delay in production resulting from Covid-19 in China in early 2020, the stabilization of orders in recent months gives us reason to be optimistic for stable growth in 2020. As a leading papermaking enterprises situated in Hebei Province which surrounds Beijing-Tianjin, the largest metropolitan area in North China, we have a large market for our products and easy access to lower costs of raw materials and logistics. Thus we will continue take such advantages to improve our capabilities to deliver sustainable growth and create long-term value to our shareholders.”

Revenue from CMP, including both regular CMP and light-Weight CMP, decreased by $0.4 million, or 1.5%, to $24.7 million and accounted for 73.5% of total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $25 million, or 100% of total revenue, for the same period of the prior year. The Company sold 59,646 tonnes of CMP at an ASP of $414/tonne in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 53,402 tonnes at an ASP of $469/tonne in the same period of the prior year.

Revenue from tissue paper products was $1.8 million, resulting from sales of 2,558 tonnes at an ASP of $684/tonne, for the fourth quarter of 2019.

 

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

 

Total cost of sales increased by $5.3 million, or 23.2%, to $28 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 from $22.7 million for the same period of last year. The increase in the total cost of sales was mainly a result of the increase in sales volume, partially offset by the decreases in costs of recycled paper board and recycled white scrap paper. Overall cost of sales per tonne was $388 for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $426 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in overall cost of sales per tonne was mainly due to decreased material costs, especially lower average unit purchase costs of recycled paper board and recycled white scrap paper in the fourth quarter of 2019. Costs of sales per tonne for regular CMP, light-weight CMP, offset printing paper, and tissue paper products were $353, $330, $454, and $979, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $425, $437, $nil and $nil, respectively, for the same period of the prior year.

 

Gross profit increased by $3.4 million, or 149.9%, to $5.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 from $2.2 million for the same period of the prior year. Overall gross margin was 16.7% for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 9.0% for the same period of the prior year. The increase in gross profit and gross margin were mainly related to i) the increase in sales volume of CMP, offset printing paper and tissue paper and ii) the decrease of average unit purchase price of recycled paper board as raw material for CMP, partially offset by the decrease of ASP of CMP products. Gross margins for regular CMP, light-weight CMP, offset printing paper, and tissue paper products were 15.4%, 18.3%, 33.7%, and negative 43.1%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 10.0%, 4.9%, 4.2%, and nil, respectively, for the same period of the prior year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased by $1.1 million, or 30.9%, to $2.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 from $3.4 million for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was mainly related to less repair and maintenance costs incurred for the fourth quarter of 2019 as all of our production resumed since the first quarter of 2019, compared to the same period in 2018 that production was suspended and additional repair and maintenance costs incurred. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A was 6.8% for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 13.7% for the same period of the prior year.

 

Income (loss) from Operations

 

Income from operations was $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to loss from operations of $5.1 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in income from operations was primarily due to substantial increase in gross profit combined with decreased SG&A expenses as discussed above. Operating margin was 9.5% for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to operating loss margin of 20.3% for the same period of the prior year.

 

Net Income

 

Net income was $2.2 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.24 loss per basic and diluted share, for the same period of the prior year.

 

EBITDA

 

EBITDA was $7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to negative $1.7 million for the same period of the prior year.

 

Note 1: Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to our U.S. GAAP results, this press release includes a discussion of EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company defines EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate our results and make strategic decisions. Management believes this measure is useful to investors because it is an indicator of operational performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in accordance with the U.S. GAAP.
