Sino-Global Announces Fiscal 2019 First Quarter Financial Results

ROSLYN, N.Y., Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (NASDAQ: SINO) ("Sino-Global", the "Company", "our", "we" or "us"), a logistics integrated solutions provider engaged in non-asset based global shipping, freight logistics, and inland transportation management and related services, today announced its financial and operating results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2019.

The Company has also provided an update on its Quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed this morning with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Management encourages investors to review this filing for more details of the Company's financial results for the period.

Management Comments – Highlights in First Quarter of Fiscal 2019

Mr. Lei Cao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sino-Global commented, "We were pleased to maintain solid revenue growth while concentrating on the expansion of our shipping agency business. Over the past years, we have examined global trading environments, and feel that this adjustment in our business provides the most upside potential considering the impact of trade policy changes. Our unique relationships and capabilities provide Sino-Global with a distinctive competitive advantage given the fragmented nature of the industry. We are one of the few shipping agents specialized in providing a full range of general shipping agency services in China and the only shipping agency company listed on a major stock exchange in the U.S. We have an excellent online logistics platform that we have developed and feel that we can align this use of technology with expertise and relationships with larger global shippers. Our plan is to develop a shipping agency network in China and South East Asia for the next three years and to expand our shipping agency network worldwide through acquisitions or strategic partnerships with other shipping agencies. In the first quarter, we continued to pursue new partnership arrangements and will continue to update investors as we progress."

Fiscal 2019 First Quarter and Subsequent Operating Highlights

  • On November 1, 2018, the Company signed a five-year strategic cooperation agreement with a Hong Kong listed Company, Sinco Pharmaceuticals Holdings Ltd ("Sinco"), pursuant to which both companies will contribute resources and expertise to develop cold chain logistics in China.
  • On September 3, 2018, Sino-Global entered into a co-operation agreement with Ningbo Far-East Universal Shipping Agency Co., Ltd ("Ningbo Far-East") to set up a joint venture in Hong Kong to engage in worldwide shipping agency and management business. The Company shall have 51% ownership in the joint venture. Ningbo Far-East is one of the top ranking shipping agencies for private enterprises in Ningbo and Zhoushan ports.

Fiscal Year 2019 First Quarter Financial Review

  • Total revenues increased by 20.8% to approximately $6.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to approximately $5.4 million in the period ended September 30, 2017. This increase was due to the Company's business development efforts in freight logistics.
  • The Company's gross profit for the period was approximately $1.4 million, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit margin during the period was 21.8% compared to 31.9% for the same period last year. 
  • The operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $1.4 million, compared to an operating income of approximately $0.9 million for the same period ended September 30, 2017. The operating loss was mainly due to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A expenses), which included increases in stock compensation and certain provisions for double accounts due to slower collections from customers in the inland transportation segment. The Company has maintained long-term relationships with certain large customers and continues to monitor the collection closely with respect to its trade accounts receivable. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, provision for doubtful accounts was $871,081. For the same period in 2017, recovery of doubtful accounts $24,536 was reocrded due to collection of accounts receivable which the Company made a provision during previous period.  As the Company continues to maintain long-standing relationships with its customers, monitor payments closely and does not believe there are any significant collection issues with respect to trade accounts receivable.
  • For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company reported a net loss of approximately $1.3 million, or $(0.10) per diluted share based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 13,145,535, compared to a net income of approximately $0.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 10,157,625, for the same period in prior year.  The decrease was due to the increase in SG&A expenses discussed above.
