2018-05-15 04:30 1238

WUHAN CITY, China, May 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Renmin Tianli Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABAC) ("Renmin Tianli" or the "Company"), a producer of breeder hogs, market hogs and black hogs, as well as specialty processed black hog pork products sold through retail outlets and the internet, with headquarters in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Mr. Luchang Zhou, Chief Executive Officer of Renmin Tianli, commented, "With total number of hogs sold increasing by 23.7% year-over-year, our hog farming business performed well during the first quarter that more than offset the decrease in blended average selling price ("ASP") and the moderate decrease in our retail business, leading to an 8.2% increase in total revenues and improvement in both margins and profitability. Looking ahead, as we continue to focus on improving our inventory turnover rate and managing our expenses, we anticipate a stabilization in our hog farming business despite uncertainty in hog pricing and feed costs."

Revenues for the first quarter of 2018 increased by $0.55 million, or 8.2%, to $7.23 million from $6.68 million for the same period of last year. The increase in overall revenues was due to an increase in revenues from regular hog sales partially offset by a decrease in revenues from our black hog program.

Revenues from hog farming, which includes sales of regular breeder hogs, regular market hogs, and black hogs, increased by $0.69 million, or 11.6%, to $6.67 million for the first quarter of 2018 from $5.97 million for the same period of last year. The Company sold a total of 37,373 regular breeder hogs, regular market hogs and black hogs with a blended average selling price of $178 per hog during the first quarter of 2018, compared to 30,217 hogs sold and a blended average selling price of $198 per hog for the same period of last year.

We sold 107,471 kilograms of specialty black hog pork products through retail at approximately $5 per kilogram, generating revenues of $0.56 million for the first quarter of 2018. This compared to136,682 kilograms sold at approximately $5 per kilogram and revenues of $0.71 million for the same period of last year.
