Total Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $35.2 million, decreased 19.1% from $43.5 million.
Corrugating Medium Paper (“CMP”)
| - | Revenue from CMP decreased 24.6% to $23.3 million, representing 66.2% of total revenue. |
| - | Volumes sold during the fourth quarter were down 25.3% to 62,562 tonnes, which were solely produced from PM6, as PM1, which contributed 20,181 tonnes to the fourth quarter 2012 sales revenue, was not in operation. |
| - | ASP increased 1.1% year-over-year to $373/tonne, a sign that the downward pressure in the Chinese packaging paper industry has started to stabilize. |
Offset Printing Paper
| - | Revenue from offset printing paper in the quarter decreased 11.1% to $10.4 million, representing 29.5% of total revenue. |
| - | Volumes sold were down 8.0% to 15,469 tonnes due to slower customer demand. |

Digital Photo Paper
| - | Revenue from digital photo paper increased 66.7% to $1.5 million, representing 4.3% of total revenue. |

| - | ASP increased 4.1% year-over-year to $3,879/tonne. |
Cost of Sales
Cost of Sales in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $28.1 million, down 23.8%, primarily due to the decreased production volume and the lower raw material unit cost. CMP cost per tonne decreased from $312 in the fourth quarter of 2012 to $303 in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $7.2 million, up 7.5% from $6.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The improvement was mainly due to lower raw material prices and stabilization of average selling prices.
Overall gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2013 was 20.3%, up from 15.4% for the fourth quarter of 2012. Gross profit margins for CMP, offset printing paper and digital photo paper for the fourth quarter of 2013 were 18.8%, 23.0% and 25.6%, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase was mainly due to the 2013 year end stock-based compensation in the amount of $790,020.
Income from Operations& Operating Margin
Income from operations was $5.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, up 77.0% from $3.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, partly due to a $2.8 million asset impairment loss on the conversion of PM1 in the fourth quarter of 2012.
EBITDA
Excluding the impact of interest expenses, income tax expenses, depreciation and amortization, EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement, was $7.1 million, up 36.5% from $5.2 million. See Note 2 hereto for a reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA.
Net Income
Net income was $3.5 million, up 75.0% from $2.0 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $0.19, compared to $0.11 for the corresponding period of 2012.
Cash, Liquidity and Financial Position
As of December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $3.1 million, compared to $13.1 million at the end of 2012. The decrease is mainly due to the use of cash to fund the of new tissue business expansion at Wei County. For the full year of 2013, Orient Paper generated net cash flow from operating activities in the amount of $29.9 million, representing an increase of 34.7% from $22.2 million in 2012.
As of December 31, 2013, we had $26.0 million of current assets and $28.4 million of current liabilities, resulting in a working capital deficit of $2.4 million as of the end of 2013. However, $2.3 million of the current liabilities were actually related parties security deposit or accruals that do not require immediate cash outflows or payments. Short-term debts and notes payable were $11.5 million, and current portion of long-term debts were another $10.0 million. Long-term debt was $20.1 million, of which $13.5 million are long-term capital lease obligations. As of December 31, 2013, shareholders’ equity totaled $161.1 million, compared to $142.8 million at the end of 2012.
Operations and Business Updates
PM1 Modernization Plan
As announced earlier, Orient Paper has voluntarily shut down PM1 as part of its facility upgrade plan. The modernization plan is to convert PM1 into a more energy-efficient production line, producing higher profit margin products of insulation liner paper, which is used to sandwich certain insulation materials as a construction material for wall and floor insulation. The PM1 renovation project cost is estimated to be approximately $6.8 million, well below previous expected budget of $15 million, and is expected to be completed months ahead of schedule during the second quarter of 2014. Revenue contribution from PM1 when operation commences is expected to be in the range of between $7 million to $9 million for 2014.
Tissue Paper Expansion (PM8 and PM9) on schedule
Orient Paper has started building the factory and other infrastructures for the household/tissue paper production facilities located in the Wei County Economic Development Zone in Hebei Province since mid- February 2013. The installation of PM8, the first 15,000 tonnes-per-year production line is progressing on schedule and is targeted for completion by the second half of 2014.
The Company has also started planning for the installation of PM9, the second 15,000 tonnes-per-year tissue paper production line. If our cash flow permits, installation will be scheduled to start in the second half of 2014, with a target to roll out production by the second half of 2015.
Outlook
Despite the mild economic recovery and the government’s continued elimination of outdated capacity, the consensus among industry analysts, appears to be that paper ASPs in China may continue to stay the same level as 2013. We believe that while the ASP for corrugating medium paper may not substantially decline, the price may not noticeably improve in 2014.
Since the government has identified environmental protection as a top priority, we expect an increase in environmental inspections and more stringent requirements for manufacturers. Although this would inevitably lead to increased costs and resources to comply, we believe this would advance the paper industry and benefit committed players like Orient Paper, while creating a long term benefit for China and its people.
Looking forward, the Company’s Wei County Project is well positioned to take advantage of China’s growing urbanization and economic development. Strategically located at the junction of Hebei, Shandong, and Shanxi provinces, Wei County enjoys good transportation links with direct access to three national highways, and close proximity to the burgeoning economies of the neighboring tier three and tier four cities.
Meanwhile, Orient Paper has also been progressively modernizing facilities to raise capacity, as well as to improve energy-efficiency and environmental conservation, thereby positioning itself to increase market share and further establish its leadership in the industry.
Looking ahead to 2014, the Company will continue to focus on the execution of its business strategy, ramping up PM6, launching the renovated PM1 in the second quarter, and completing the installation and launch of PM8 in the second half of the year. At the same time, we will strive to maintain strong cash flows and restructure our debt to support our investments and expansion.
2014 Guidance
Revenues for the full year are expected to be in the range of between $146 million and $161 million, gross profit to be between $27 million and $30 million, net income to be between $15 million and $17 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share to be between $0.81 and $0.90.
