Second Quarter 2010 Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2010 increased 94.3% to $62.0 million, compared to $31.9 million in the same period of 2009. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the increased sales volume driven by the strong demand for the Company's automotive modified plastic products supported by continued growth in automotive production and consumption in China.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2010 was $14.8 million, up 122.0% from $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. Gross margin was 23.9% compared to 20.9% in the same period a year ago and 23.8% in the first quarter of 2010. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was due to higher value product mix as a result of the Company's successful research, development and marketing efforts.
Selling expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were $121,826, up 101.1% from $60,593 in the same period last year. As a percentage of revenue, selling expenses remained 0.2% of sales for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009. General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $14.8 million, as compared to $4.2 million for the same period of last year. The increase in G&A expenses was mainly attributed to a non-cash expense in connection with the option arrangement between two major shareholders amounting to $13.4 million. Research and Development ("R&D") expenses were $1.8 million, or 3.0% of total revenue, compared to $0.2 million, or 0.7% of total revenue, in the same period last year. The increase in research and development expenses was associated with the Company's on-going R&D efforts to launch new products and to obtain new product certifications.
Operating loss for the second quarter of 2010 was $2.0 million, compared to an operating income of $2.2 million in the same period a year ago.
Other expense in the second quarter of 2010 was $952,243, including $277,264 of interest expense and a non-cash expense of $712,768 to account for the change in fair value of warrants and derivative liabilities in connection with the preferred stock issued in the private placement financing which closed in December of 2009. Other expense in the second quarter of 2009 was $283,811.
EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) for the second quarter of 2010 was $12.7 million, a significant increase from $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. For a detailed reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP measure, to its nearest GAAP equivalent, please see the financial tables at the end of this release.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2010 was $3.0 million, compared to net income of $1.9 million for the same period a year ago.
In connection with the private placement of series C preferred stock in the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a dividend of $162,421 for the series C preferred stock.
Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2010 was $3.1 million. Loss per share attributable to common shareholders was $0.07 and $0.07 per basic and fully diluted share, respectively.
Adjusted net income, excluding non-cash charges associated with stock based compensation, change in fair value of derivative liability and preferred dividend was $11.4 million, or $0.26 per basic and per fully diluted share. For a detailed reconciliation of adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, to net income, please see the financial tables at the end of this release.
