Ever-Glory Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Ever-Glory") (NASDAQ: EVK), a retailer of branded fashion apparel and a leading global apparel supply chain solution provider, reported its financial results today for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Mr. Yihua Kang, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ever-Glory, said, "During the second quarter, we maintained our focus on developing the retail business through our multi-brand strategy and store network optimization initiative, while improving our wholesale business by upgrading customer portfolio and enhancing our account receivables."

"During the second quarter of 2021, our retail brands continue to attract new customers and retain existing customers by focusing on design, quality and value," Mr. Kang continued. "Following the remodeling or relocation of 66 stores during 2021, we operated a nationwide network of 931 stores as of June 30, 2021."

"Looking at our wholesale business, we maintained focus on upgrading customer portfolio to reduce credit risk and improve margin in light of weak micro-environment and enhancing our account receivables. Going forward, we'll implement a stricter client evaluation system and remain diligent in our account receivables collection. We believe the enduring strength of our wholesale business will support its long-term profitability," Mr. Kang concluded.

Mr. Jason Jiansong Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Ever-Glory, added, "The second quarter results are coupled with our ability to increase operating leverage. Going forward, we remain confidence in the long-term prospects of our business and we will continue implementing our margin enhancement and cost control measures to further strengthen the profitability of our business."

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results 

Total sales for the second quarter of 2021 were $60.6 million, an increase of 20.9% from $50.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily driven by a 19.9% increase in our wholesale business and a 21.7% increase in retail business.

Sales for the Company's branded fashion apparel retail division increased by 21.7% to $34.1 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared with $28.0 million for the second quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily due to the increase in same-store sales. The Company operated 931 retail stores as of June 30, 2021, compared with 935 retail stores as of June 30, 2020.

Sales for the Company's wholesale division increased by 19.9% to $26.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared with $22.0 million for the second quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales in Mainland China, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and other European markets partially offset for decreased sales in Japan and the United States.

Total gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 increased by 27.3% to $18.4 million, compared with $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2020. Total gross margin for the second quarter of 2021 increased to 30.4% from 28.8% for the second quarter of 2020.

Gross profit for the retail business increased by 46.7% to $14.8 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared with $10.1 million for the second quarter of 2020. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2021 was 43.4% compared to 36.2% for the second quarter of 2020.

Gross profit for the wholesale business decreased by 17.5% to $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared with $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2020. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2021 decreased to 13.6% from 19.7% for the second quarter of 2020.

Selling expenses for the second quarter of 2021 increased by 14.9% to $14.5 million, or 24.0% of total sales, compared with $12.6 million, or 25.2% of total sales for the second quarter of 2020. The increase was attributable to the increased marketing expenses associated with the promotion of the retail brand.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2021 increased by 28.3% to $7.7 million, or 12.7% of total sales, compared with $6.0 million, or 11.9% of total sales for the second quarter of 2020. The increase was attributable to the decreased business trip and the exemption of social benefits by the PRC government during the COVID-19 outbreak in China 2020.

Loss from operations was $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Net loss attributable to the Company for the second quarter of 2021 was $1.8 million compared with $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2020. Basic and diluted loss per share were $0.12 for the second quarter of 2021 compared with $0.26 for the second quarter of 2020.

Balance Sheet 

As of June 30, 2021, Ever-Glory had approximately $64.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared with approximately $81.9 million as of December 31, 2020.
