Note:
1. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures in this Press Release.
2. The adjusted net income excludes a one-time government grant of $722,535
and associated income tax provision of $180,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2012.
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $ 10.2 million,
representing an increase of $2.3 million, or 29%, from $7.9 million for the same
period of 2012. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $ 29.0
million, representing an increase of $6.6 million, or 30%, from $22.4 million
for the same period of 2012. This increase is mainly attributable to continued
gas volume growth (13% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 17% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2013) and higher average selling prices for
both its CNG refueling retail station in Changsha City and the natural gas
distribution utility in Sanya City for commercial and industrial customers.
Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased $1.7
million, or 51%, and increased $4.1 million or 39% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013, compared to the same periods in 2012. As a percentage of
revenue, gross margin increased to 51% in the nine months ended September 30,
2013 from 48 % in the same period of 2012.
As a percentage of revenue, the gross margin of the gas distribution utilities
increased 8% (53% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 versus 45% for
the same period of 2012) primarily due to increases in selling price and
increased gas purchases at market prices in 2012. As a percentage of revenue,
the gross margin of the CNG refueling station slightly improved 4% (26% for the
three months ended September 30, 2013 versus 22% for the same period of 2012).
EBITDA (non-GAAP measure as identified and defined under section "Non-GAAP
Measures") for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $2.5 million, an
increase of 1.1 million, or 82%, from $1.3 million for the same period of 2012.
EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $7.6 million, an
increase of $2.0 million, or 35%, from $5.6 million for the same period of 2012.
The increase was driven primarily by higher sales. EBITDA as a percentage of
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was 24%, compared to 17%
in the same period in 2012. EBITDA as a percentage of revenue for the nine
months ended September 30, 2013 was 26%, compared to 25% in the same period of
2012, representing an increase of 1%. This increase was due to higher sales
partially offset by higher operating expenses.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $0.6 million, or
$0.01 per share (basic and diluted) compared to $0.05 million or $0.00 per share
(basic and diluted) for the same period in 2012. Net income for the nine months
ended September 30, 2013 was $2.5 million, or $0.04 per share (basic and
diluted) compared to $1.7 million or $0.03 per share (basic and diluted) for the
same period in 2012.
Adjusted net income is calculated as net income before other operating income.
Other operating income represents a government grant received by the Company in
2012. The Company does not expect any similar government grants in 2013.
Changfeng believes that adjusted net income is a useful supplemental measure of
the Company's operating results.
Financial Position
Cash increased by $6.7 million to $13.1 million at September 30, 2013 from $6.4
million at December 31, 2012, primarily resulting from cash of $7.0 million
provided by operating activities, cash flow from financing activities of 5.9
million, offset by cash used for capital expenditures of $6.8 million.
The working capital deficit as at September 30, 2013 decreased to $6.7 million
from $12.2 million as at December 31, 2012, primarily resulting from cash
generated from operating activities.
Mr. Huajun Lin, the Chairman and C.E.O. of the Company commented that "Changfeng
performed well in the third quarter compared to the same period last year. We
are pleased with the gas sales volume increase in Xiangdong District and the CNG
refueling station in Changsha City. We have secured 6.5 million cubic metres of
additional natural gas and continue to be in constant communication with our
major natural gas supplier to get additional quota pipeline gas to be able to
reduce the purchase of relatively expensive CNG and LNG. We are excited about
the future of Changfeng and will continue our efforts to expand our business,
particularly in Mainland China, and to bring long-term and sustainable value to
our shareholders."
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA and adjusted
net income. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful information to both management and investors in measuring the financial
performance and financial condition of the Company for the reasons outlined
below.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to exclude the impact of
certain expenses and income that must be recognized under GAAP when analyzing
consolidated operating performance, as the excluded items are not necessarily
reflective of the Company's underlying operating performance and make
comparisons of underlying financial performance between periods difficult. From
time to time, the Company may exclude additional items if it believes doing so
would result in a more effective analysis of underlying operating performance.
The exclusion of certain items does not imply that they are non-recurring.
These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and
therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by
other publicly traded companies and should not be construed as an alternative to
other financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
Business Update
Sanya Piped Gas Distribution Operation, Sanya City, Hainan Province
Further to the Press Releases dated February 22, 2012 and September 5, 2013
regarding the Gas to Electricity Exchange Program, construction of the
facilities has been completed and has passed acceptance inspection by the
relevant authorities. On September 5, 2013, the Company entered into a natural
gas purchase and sale agreement with Hainan Fuel Chemical Co., Ltd. a subsidiary
of China National Offshore Oil Corporation to purchase 6.5 million cubic metres
of natural gas during the remainder of 2013 (the "Additional Quota Gas"). The
Additional Quota Gas will be added to the Company's existing 24 million cubic
metre quota for the Sanya operations allowing the company to purchase
significantly reduced quantities of relatively expensive CNG and LNG to supply
its operations.
Xiangdong Piped Gas Distribution Operation, Xiangdong District, Pingxiang City,
Jiangxi Province
The Company is continuing its market penetration in the Xiangdong District. As
of the date of this release, the Company is supplying gas to four (4) ceramic
manufacturers and one residential gated community. In addition the Company has
extended its pipeline network to the downtown area and the outskirts of the
town. The construction by the Company of a citygate in the ceramic industrial
park to depressurize the piped gas from WEP II has been completed. The Company
is working with the local energy boards and regulatory authorities on this
regulatory approval process.
Guangdong Piped Gas Shipping Program ("Guangdong Program")
Further to the Press Releases dated March 29, 2012 and April 25, 2013 regarding
the Guangdong Program, the Company has identified two gas fueled power plants as
its phase I targeted customers ("Phase I"). The Company intends to establish a
joint venture with PetroChina Kunlun Gas Co., Ltd ("CNPC Kunlun Gas"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of PetroChina, to build high pressure transmission pipelines
and associated facilities (the "Pipelines") to link the existing and/or planned
provincial trunk lines to certain gas fueled power plants located in Guangdong
province, China.
The Company filed a feasibility study on the first potential gas fueled power
plant in Phase I with CNPC Kunlun Gas and is now reviewing CNPC Kunlun Gas'
feedback and preparing a revised feasibility study which will be submitted
shortly.
The Company has also submitted an initial project proposal on the second
potential gas fueled power plant in Phase I to CNPC Kunlun Gas for its review.
If the initial project proposal is accepted by CNPC Kunlun Gas, the company will
then prepare a feasibility study for review by CNPC Kunlun Gas.
The two potential gas fueled power plants in Phase I are located in Zhaoqing
City and Jiangmen City, in Guangdong province, China, respectively. Phase I will
include a 2 kilometer (1.4 mile) pipeline and a 1 kilometer (0.7 mile) pipeline
for the two potential gas fueled power plants, respectively.
