Exhibit 99.1
General Steel Announces Third Quarter 2010 Results
BEIJING, November 8, 2010 -- General Steel Holdings, Inc. (“General Steel” or “the Company”) (NYSE: GSI), one of China’s leading non-state-owned producers of steel products and aggregators of domestic steel companies, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Highlights from the Third Quarter of 2010:
-- Gross margin improved to 3.4% from 1.5% in the previous quarter
-- Income from operations increased to $6.0 million for the third quarter from a loss of $6.3 million in the second quarter and a loss of $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2010
-- The Company formed a new joint venture Tianwu General Steel Material Trading Co., Ltd. (“Tianwu JV”) with Tianjin Materials and Equipment Group Corporation (“TME Group”)
“In a challenging market, we witnessed continued strong demand for our steel products and a subsequent gross margin improvement for our business,” said General Steel Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Henry Yu. “This quarter we focused on cost-saving measures to improve profitability that included cutting production of less efficient blast furnaces at our Longmen Joint Venture. At the same time, this quarter we announced the successful formation of a new joint venture with Tianjin Materials and Equipment Group. This newly formed joint venture will give us more flexibility and better quality in our supply of raw materials, something especially important in an industry experiencing volatile raw material costs. We believe that in addition to improving our gross margin, this joint venture is aligned with our long-term strategy of increasing profitability and delivering long-term shareholder value.”
Selected Financial Results for the Third Quarter
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2010 decreased 5.0% to $460.3 million from $484.8 million in the third quarter of 2009.
The decrease in total revenues was predominantly due to changes in the operating model at General Steel (China) Co., Ltd., one of our steel-related subsidiaries, and only executing processing contracts at our subsidiary Maoming Hengda Steel Company, Ltd., which generated less sales revenue.
Cost of Sales
Total cost of sales for the third quarter of 2010 slightly decreased to $444.7 million from $445.0 million in the third quarter of 2009.
Cost of sales principally consists of the cost of raw materials, labor, utilities, manufacturing costs, manufacturing-related depreciation and other fixed costs. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to lower shippment volume..
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2010 decreased 60.8% year-over-year to $15.6 million from $39.7 million in the third quarter of 2009. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2010 was 3.4%, compared to 8.2% in the third quarter of 2009.
The Company noted that gross profit was adversely affected by a decrease in total revenue as well as the relatively high price of iron ore and coke during the third quarter of 2010.
Gross margin improved in the third quarter 2010 to 3.4% compared to 1.5% in the second quarter and 1.3% in the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to the Company’s Longmen Joint Venture cutting production of less efficient blast furnaces in the third quarter of 2010, which helped to lower production costs and expand gross profit margin.
Operating Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2010 decreased 8.8% to $9.6 million, compared to $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 2.1% and 2.2% of total revenues in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in freight expenses and agent fees..
Income from Operations
Income from operations increased to $6.0 million for the third quarter 2010 from a loss of $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2010 and a loss of $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in income from operations was primarily due to the improvement of gross margin.
Finance and Interest Expense
Finance and interest expenses for the third quarter of 2010 were $10.2 million, compared to $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2009. The Company noted that the interest expense increase was caused by additional finance to stockpile raw material inventory.
Net Income (Loss)
Net loss attributable to General Steel for the third quarter of 2010 was $2.3 million compared to a net income of $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2009.
Basic and diluted losses per share for the third quarter of 2010 were $0.04 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.23 in the third quarter of 2009.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2010, General Steel had cash and restricted cash of $228.3 million, compared to $274.2 million as of December 31, 2009. Accounts receivable were $21.2 million as of September 30, 2010, compared to $8.5 million as of December 31, 2009.
