XI'AN, China, August 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- China Housing & Land Development, Inc. ("China Housing" or the "Company"; Nasdaq: CHLN) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Highlights for Q2 2013:
Mr. Pingji Lu, China Housing's Chairman, commented, "We are pleased to report another strong quarter as our second quarter top line results once again exceeded our guidance forecast. Our strong project development efforts combined with continued strength in the Xi'an residential housing market led to higher average selling prices compared to the last quarter and prior year periods. Four projects contributed the majority of our revenue during the second quarter of 2013, which include our Puhua Phase Two and Three, Park Plaza and Ankang projects."
"We experienced a notable increase in gross profit and a higher gross margin than both the previous quarter and the same period last year, as a result of a considerable increase in revenue and average selling prices while costs remained relatively flat. Furthermore, our Ankang project, which began pre-sales in the fourth quarter of 2012, began to contribute to our revenue during the second quarter."
"As we enter the second half of the year, our current four projects provide us with solid sales and profit opportunities. Additionally, we will initiate marketing for Golden Bay in the third quarter and adjust our sales strategy based on market feedback on the project. We anticipate that official pre-sales will start in the fourth quarter. We remain optimistic about our opportunities in the Xi'an real estate market and continue to focus on the execution of our development project plan. We believe our financial performance in the second half of the year will be strong and that our commitment to providing the highest quality residential properties will continue to drive our growth forward."
Total revenue in the second quarter of 2013 increased 9.9% to $59.7 million from $54.4 million in the first quarter of 2013 and increased 70.6% from $35.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. Other revenue in the second quarter of 2013 decreased to $7.0 million from $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2013 and increased from $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2012. The year-over-year increase was caused by the recognition of interest income on deposits based on the Company's borrowing activity from several overseas banks.
In the second quarter of 2013, the majority of the Company's real estate revenue came from its Puhua Phase Two and Three projects, Park Plaza and Ankang projects. Second quarter 2013 contract sales totaled $59.0 million compared with $82.4 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $24.8 million in the second quarter of 2012. Total gross floor area ("GFA") sales were 48,439 sq. meters during the second quarter of 2013, compared with 89,691 sq. meters in the first quarter of 2013 and 25,908 sq. meters in the second quarter of 2012. The Company's ASP in the second quarter of 2013 was RMB 7,499, compared with RMB 5,695 in the first quarter of 2013, and RMB 5,705 in the second quarter of 2012.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $18.3 million, representing an increase of 101.9% from $9.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 and a 125.3% increase from $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2012. Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 30.6%, which is above the 16.6% in the first quarter of 2013 and the 23.2% in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in gross profit margin was mainly due to a combination of increased sales volume, increased average selling prices, and sales of Puhua Phase Two commercial units, which had higher gross margin. The Company continues to expect full year gross margin to be in the 25% to 30% range in 2013.
SG&A expense was $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared with $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. SG&A expense as a percentage of total revenue was 8.2%, compared with 5.8% in the first quarter of 2013 and 11.3% in the second quarter of 2012. The year-over-year increase in SG&A expense was due to increased selling expenses during the second quarter of 2013 associated with new projects commencing pre-sales activity.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2013 was $9.2 million, or 15.3% of total revenue, compared with $4.3 million, or 7.9% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2013, and $3.1 million, or 8.7% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2012. The year-over-year increase in operating income was mainly due to increased sales revenue and improved gross profit margin.
Net income attributable to China Housing in the second quarter of 2013 was $6.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. This performance compares with net income of $3.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013 and net income of $1.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012.
