Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd.
2016-02-13 05:30 2464

ROSLYN, N.Y., February 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (NASDAQ: SINO) ("Sino-Global" or the "Company"), a company engaged in shipping, chartering, logistics and related services, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2016 second quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Fiscal Year 2016 Second Quarter Operating and Financial Highlights
(all comparisons to the prior year period)

  • Total revenues were $1.6 million, compared to $3.1 million, largely due to a general economic slow-down in China and driven by additional competition within the industry, with established and new competitors offering rates that in many cases are much lower than the Company was willing to offer.
  • Gross margin for the period increased to 55.7% from 45.8%, largely due to revenue from the Company's inland transportation business which provided higher margin, coupled with cost of shipping agency and ship management services.
  • The Company underwent a thorough review of its receivables and after reassessing the collectability of certain past due accounts receivable, accrued approximately of $0.6 million additional bad debt reserve on accounts receivables. This contributed to an increase in general and administrative expenses during the period.
  • In December 2015, the Company announced the termination of the previously announced asset purchase agreement to acquire a vessel from Rong Yao International Shipping Limited ("Rong Yao"). Under the terms of the termination agreement, 1.2 million shares of common stock that were issued in the original transaction have been returned to the Company by Rong Yao.
  • Sino-Global reported an income tax expense of $0.3 million during the period compared to an income tax benefit of $0.02 million in the prior year period, largely due to a reassessment of the possibility of utilizing deferred tax assets in conjunction with the termination of the proposed vessel acquisition.
  • Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 was $1.6 million, largely as the result of a decrease in total revenue, receivables reassessment, and a rise in income tax expense.
  • As of December 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million, working capital of $8.7 million and shareholder equity of $9.2 million (or $1.10 per share); compared to $0.7 million, $6.2 million, and $9.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2014.
  • The Company holds no long-term debt.

  • Total revenues were $1.6 million during the period, compared to $3.1 million in the prior year period. The decrease was due mainly to a decline in revenues generated from shipping agency services and ship management services and an environment with competitive rates.
  • The Company's gross profit during the period was $0.9 million, compared to $1.4 million in the prior year period. Gross profit margin during the period improved to 55.7%, compared to 45.8%, largely as a favorable shift in service mix.
  • Operating loss for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $1.1 million, compared to operating income of $0.09 million for the comparable period ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in revenue for the period and a rise in general and administrative expenses as a result of the aforementioned $0.6 million of additional bad debt reserve on accounts receivables.
  • Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $0.3 million, compared to income tax benefit of $0.02 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in income tax expense was the result of a larger taxable base attributable to the increase in income from the inland transportation management segment of the Company and the payment of a previously deferred tax asset of $0.3 million connected with the termination of the asset purchase agreement with Rong Yao.
  • For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company reported a net loss of $1.6 million, compared to net income of $0.07 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014.

Balance Sheet Information

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $1.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million as of June 30, 2015. Working capital and shareholder's equity at December 31, 2015 was $9.0 million and $13.9 million, compared to $6.2 million and $14.6 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2015.
