HANGZHOU, China, August 15, 2013 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Shengda Packaging Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CPGI) (the "Company"), a leading Chinese paper packaging company, today reported its second quarter financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Mr. Daliang Teng, Chief Executive Officer of China Shengda Packaging Group commented, "Our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 declined to $33.5 million from $36.7 million for the same period of last year, mainly due to the decline in paper cartons sales volume and partially offset by $0.7 million in revenues from the newly completed paper mill which went into production on June 17, 2013. The decline in paper cartons sales volume was mainly a result of continued challenges in light of China's slowing GDP growth trend. Looking ahead, we expect our continued ramp-up of the paper mill to contribute meaningfully to our revenues and to partially offset the weakness in our packaging business."

Second Quarter 2013 Results
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2013 decreased by $3.2 million, or 8.6%, to $33.5 million from $36.7 million for the same period of 2012. Revenues of paper cartons and other paper products decreased by $3.9 million, or 10.4%, to $32.8 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $36.7 million for the same period of last year. Our paper mill went into production in June 2013 and contributed $0.7 million, or 2.0% of total revenues, with sales volume of 1,900 tons. The decrease in revenues of paper cartons was mainly because continued challenges in domestic and foreign economic environment drove sales volume of paper cartons to decrease by 9.9% to 82.9 million square meters for the second quarter of 2013 from 91.9 million square meters for the same period of last year. The average sales price of paper cartons was $0.40 per square meter for the second quarter of 2013, essentially unchanged from the same period of last year. Average sales price of raw paper was $356 per ton for the second quarter of 2013.
Color cartons and flexo cartons accounted for 29.1% and 70.9% of revenues of paper cartons for the second quarter of 2013, compared to 30.3% and 69.7%, respectively, for the same period of 2012. Average sales prices per square meter for color cartons and flexo cartons were $0.39 and $0.40, respectively, for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to $0.41 and $0.39, respectively, for the same period of 2012.
Consumer and industrial goods manufacturing sectors remained the Company's principal markets. Major customers remained home appliances & electronics manufacturers, and food, beverage & cigarette manufacturers in the Yangtze River Delta Region, which accounted for 25.0% and 24.7%, respectively, of revenues for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to 25.7% and 32.1%, respectively, for the same period of 2012.
Gross profit decreased by $1.1 million, or 17.5%, to $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2013, from $5.9 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease in gross profit was mainly due to decline in paper cartons sales volume and negative gross profit of ($0.7) million for raw paper. Gross margin decreased by 155 basis points to 14.4% for the second quarter of 2013 from 16.0% for the same period of 2012.
Selling expenses decreased by approximately $0.2 million, or 19.1%, to $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2013, from $1.3 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease was mainly related to decrease in freight expenses and staff cost. As a percentage of revenues, selling expenses for the second quarter of 2013 decreased to 3.2% from 3.6% for the same period of 2012.
General and administrative expenses increased by $ 0.4 million, or 14.6%, to $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2013, from $2.6 million for the same period of 2012. This increase was mainly from the operation of the paper mill of Jiangsu Shuangsheng Paper Technology Development Co., Ltd. ("Shuangsheng") in 2013. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2013 increased to 8.9% from 7.1% for the same period of 2012.
Income tax expense decreased to $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to $0.4 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease in income tax expense was mainly attributable to the decrease in income before income tax expense and non controlling interest.
Net income attributable to the Company's stockholders decreased by $0.9 million, or 54.2%, to approximately $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $1.7 million for the same period of 2012. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.02 for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to $0.04 for the same period of 2012.
