2016-03-10 19:52 2305

NEW YORK, March 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Wins Finance Holdings Inc. ("Wins Finance" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: WINS), a diversified investment and asset management company that provides integrated financing solutions to small and medium enterprises ("SMEs") in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Fiscal Second Quarter Financial and Operational Highlights

  • Revenues were $2.3 million, compared to $3.3 million for the comparable period last year
  • Interest on short-term investments was $3.5 million, compared to $3.9 million for the comparable period last year
  • Net income attributable to Wins Finance was $3.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $5.9 million for the same period ended December 31, 2014.
  • Completed business combination with Wins Finance Group Limited.
  • Strengthened executive management team of Wins Finance Group Limited with addition of Jianming Hao, Co-CEO, Amy He, CFO and Richard Xu, President
  • Executed an aggregate of $7.7 million in direct leasing contracts for tele-medical equipment with seven hospitals
  • Subsequent to the end of the quarter, received determination for continued listing on NASDAQ

"2015 was a transformative year for Wins Finance highlighted by the business combination with Wins Finance Group Limited and our continued listing on NASDAQ," said Jianming Hao, Chairman and Co-CEO. "The business combination was the first step in our long-term growth strategy focused on value accretive investment opportunities and assets that can be enhanced through the strategic involvement of Wins' established management team and its familiarity with the Chinese investment community to generate long-term value for shareholders."

"We remain optimistic in our long-term outlook and our ability to identify value," Mr. Hao added. "In the near-term however, we expect our quarterly results to be impacted by our current exposure to the financial guarantee business in China. Demand for loans from Chinese small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has declined significantly. In addition, during the past twelve months, the RMB has depreciated by more than 5% and interest rates have been cut by 1.25%."

"In response to the challenges we are encountering in our guarantee business, we are taking aggressive measures to diversify our operations to augment our near-term strategy," Mr. Hao continued. "Entering 2016, the company is accelerating its search for value accretive investment opportunities and assets in the United States as well as China, with the goal to balance our geographic footprint and risk over time."

Renhui Mu, Co-CEO and COO of Wins Finance, added, "In the past three months, we have closed more than $33 million of financial leases and expect to ramp up this business in 2016. We plan to focus our attention on the medical equipment and new energy sectors, both of which offer significant opportunities for investment. As a result of the aging population and serious geographical imbalance in distribution of medical resources in China, demand for health care is growing. The new energy vehicle industry is expanding globally, and is an important component of global initiatives to reduce hydrocarbon consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. We expect these two sectors to continue to grow despite the economic slowdown and other macroeconomic factors. We expect our pipeline of leasing opportunities to increase during the first half of 2016, with associated revenues to begin in the second half of 2016 and beyond."

Quarter Ended December 31, 2015 Results

Net Revenue

Wins Finance's net revenue consists of commissions and fees generated from its financial guarantee services, net direct financing lease interest income, and advisory fees generated from its financial advisory and lease agency businesses. Net commissions and fees on financial guarantee services, net direct financing lease interest income, and financial advisory and lease agency income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 were $1.6 million, $0.3 million and 0.4million, respectively, accounting for 69.3%, 13.0% and 17.7%, respectively, of Wins Finance's net revenue.

Net Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 were $2.3 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 31.4%, from $3.3 million for the same period ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to (a) a decrease of $0.7 million in net commissions and fees on financial guarantee services and (b) a decrease of $0.4 million in financial advisory and lease agency income. Wins Finance's two largest customers accounted for approximately 50.8% of the total outstanding balances of loans guaranteed by Wins Finance as of December 31, 2014. These two largest customers stand for $ $1.5 million revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2014. After the contracts of these two customers expired in March, 2015, Wins Finance stopped providing guarantees for loans exceeding 10% of its net assets for any single customer in order to comply with the requirements of Interim Measures for Guarantee Business of the PRC. The expired guarantee contracts were not fully replaced with new contracts. The outstanding balance of loans guaranteed by the Company decreased to $126.0 million as of December 31, 2015, from $179.4 million as of December 31, 2014 which resulted in the decrease of net commission and financial advisory income in connection with providing financial solutions to these guarantee customers.

Interest on short-term investments

Interest on short-term investments decreased by $0.4 million to $3.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $3.9 million same period ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the rate of return, partially offset by an increase in the average balances of the short-term investments.

Non-interest expenses

Non-interest expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 208.1%, to $2.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $0.7 million for the same period ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with the business combination and increases in salaries, legal fees, auditing fees and consulting fees for investor relations in connection with being a public company.

Income taxes

Income tax expense decreased by $0.4 million, or 51.5%, to $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in taxable income excluding interest on short-term investment, which is exempt from taxation.

Net income

Net income decreased by $2.5 million or 42.1% to $3.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $5.9 million for the same period ended December 31, 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Term Deposits and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and restricted cash together amounted to $70.2 million as of December 31, 2015.

Other Significant Events

Convertible Notes sold to CEO

On January 4, 2016, the Company announced the sale of $8.5 million of convertible notes to Mr. Jianming Hao, its Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Hao is the sole investor in the financing round. The Company intends to use the proceeds to accelerate the growth and expansion of its business. The convertible notes bear interest at 4% per annum and mature one year from the date of issuance. The conversion price of the notes is $12 per share.

Financial leasing in New Energy Vehicle Sector

On January 13, 2016, the Company announced that it entered into a purchase-and-lease-back agreement valued at RMB100 million (US$15.4 million) with Liaoning Sg Automotive Group Co., Ltd. ("SG Automotive Group"), a leading Shanghai Stock Exchange-listed automobile manufacturer that is focused on developing new energy vehicle technology.

Purchase-and-Lease for Medical Examination Equipment

On February 1, 2016, the Company announced that it entered into a purchase-and-lease-back agreement valued at RMB70 million (US$10.6 million) with Panjin Central hospital, a leading Third-Level Grade-A hospital in Liaoning Province, China.
