BEIJING, April 16 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Solar & Clean Energy Solutions, Inc. (Formerly known as "Deli Solar (USA), Inc.") (OTC Bulletin Board: CSOL) ("China Solar"), a manufacturer and distributor of solar water heaters, space heating devices and provider of renewable energy solutions in the People’s Republic of China ("PRC"), today reported its financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2009.
Full Year 2009 Financial Highlights:
-- Net income was $1.1 million and diluted EPS was $0.07, as compared
to a net loss of $4.7 million in 2008;
-- Total net revenue was $26 million, a decrease of 37% year-on-year;
-- Consolidated gross profit margin was 28%, as compared to 17% in 2008;
-- Cash and cash equivalents were $5 million as of December 31, 2009
Full Year 2009 Financial Results:
Sales revenue was $26 million for the full year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $42 million for 2008, a decrease of $15 million or 37% year-on-year. The decrease in the sales revenue is primarily due to the disposal of Shenzhen Pengsangpu Solar Industrial Products Corporation ("SZPSP") and continuous decrease in the sales of single solar products such as solar heater and biomass stove under the management of Deli Solar (Bazhou). Sales revenue for single solar products for 2009 was $5.6 milion, as compared to $26 million for 2008, a decrease of $21 million or 79.1%. But the sales for industrial energy-saving projects in Tianjin Huaneng remain stable and healthy for the whole year. The sales revenue for industrial waste heat recovery systems for the year of 2009 was $20 million, as compared to 15 million for the previous year, an increase of $5.6 million or 37.7%.
Net income was $1.1 million for the full year ended December 31, 2009, with diluted earnings per share (EPS) at $0.07, compared to $4.7 million of net loss for the year of 2008. The turnaround from net loss was primarily due to the cash collected after the disposal of SZPSP, the increase in profitability of Tianjin Huaneng and the deduction of the liquidity penalty.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $5 million as of December 31, 2009, compared to $1.8 million as of December 31, 2008, primarily as a result of the cash collected after the disposal of SZPSP.
Operating expenses for 2009 were $6.6 million, as compared to $8.5 million for 2008, a decrease of $1.9 million or 22.5% year-on-year. The overall decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to cutting down all kinds of expenses as a result of the decrease in sales of single solar products.
Management Commentary
Mr. Deli Du, Chief Executive Officer and President of China Solar, commented, "I am very glad to see that we regain profitability in the year of 2009 thanks to strong sales growth of the industrial energy-saving projects under the management of Tianjin Huaneng and the disposal of the loss-making business with SZPSP,” said Mr. Du, “Our ongoing strategy of transition from a single solar product manufacturer to a renewable energy solutions provider for industrial and real-estate projects has well positioned China Solar to capitalize on the more profitable opportunities in the burgeoning Chinese renewable energy market.”
Looking ahead, “we will continue to mobilize our resources on the more profitable business for industrial clients and to maximize the stock value for our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Du.
