SORL Auto Parts Reports Financial Results For the 2013 Fourth Quarter and Year
ZHEJIANG, China, March 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SORL Auto Parts, Inc. (SORL) ("SORL" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of automotive brake systems as well as other key safety-related auto parts in China, announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2013 and year ended December 31, 2013.
Fourth Quarter 2013 Financial Highlights
- Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased by 13.3% to $55.3 million;
- Gross margin was 30.1% in the fourth quarter of 2013;
- Net Income attributable to stockholders was $0.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share;
- Cash and cash equivalents were $28.2 million with a current ratio of 4.13 to 1 at December 31, 2013.
2013 Full Year Highlights
- Net sales increased by 8.5% to $208.6 million;
- Gross margin increased to 28.1%;
- Net income attributable to stockholders for fiscal 2013 was $9.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share.
Mr. Xiaoping Zhang, SORL's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, stated, "2013 was another lukewarm year for the commercial vehicle market in China, as the new administration continued to put major infrastructure projects under review, tighten monetary policies and cool the real estate market. All these partially offset the growth of truck sales benefiting from the replacement cycle of large on-road fleets and the pre-buy effect prior to the highly anticipated National IV emission standard. In such a market environment, we continue to focus on increasing our market share and maintaining our industry-leading gross margin through our strategy of differentiating products. As a result, our sales growth accelerated to 13.3% in the fourth quarter, while overall Chinese commercial vehicles sales only grew 4.8%. We continue to introduce new advanced products with more robust features to enhance the technology content and enrich total solutions for our customers. In addition, our undivided focus on better product quality has brought us a number of awards and increased orders from our OEM customers, including Dongfeng Liuzhou, Dongfeng Dana Axle and Qingte Group most recently. On the aftermarket front, our growth was moderate in 2013, as our focus remained on both higher market share in the Chinese OEM segment and further international expansion where margins are better. However, new products we introduced in the OEM market paved the way for a stronger foothold in the Chinese aftermarket segment in the future. Braking systems are safety-related components with high barriers to entry. We remain optimistic on our presence in the highly recurring aftermarket business, as we added more sub-distributors and broaden our coverage to service more and more vehicles coming off warranty every year."
Fourth Quarter 2013 Financial Results
For the fourth quarter of 2013, net sales increased by 13.3% to $55.3 million from $48.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Revenues from the Company's domestic OEM customers rose by 23.1% to $29.3 million from $23.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Sales from China's domestic aftermarket were flat at $11.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with $11.6 million in the same quarter of 2012. Revenues from international markets increased 7.5% to $14.4 million, compared to $13.4 million in the third quarter of 2012.
SORL's overall sales increased due to higher demand in the commercial vehicle OEM and international markets during the fourth quarter of 2013 as SORL's new product sales contributed to the sales increase. New commercial vehicle unit sales in China were increased by 4.8% during the fourth quarter of 2013.
The gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $16.6 million, compared with $16.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 30.1% from a gross margin of 34.1% in the same quarter of 2012. Starting in 2013, there have been reclassifications of certain costs associated with post-sales product modifications at OEM sites, from costs of sales to selling and distribution expenses. Retrospective adjustments to the historical income statement have also been made to provide a consistent basis of comparison for the financial results. During the fourth quarter 2012, there was a much higher volume of such product modifications as compared with that of the same period of 2013. As a result of such reclassifications, the gross margin of fourth quarter 2012 was higher than same period of 2013.
Operating expenses increased to $15.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 from $14.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in operating expenses from the fourth quarter of 2012 reflected higher expenditures in selling and distribution, general and administrative expenses and research and development costs. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses were 27.6% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with 28.8% in the fourth quarter of 2012, and compared with 19.2% in the third quarter of 2013.
- Selling and distribution expenses were $8.8 million, or 15.9% of quarterly revenues, compared with $8.6 million, or 17.6% in the same quarter of 2012. The lower selling and distribution expenses as a percentage of revenue in fourth quarter of 2013 was mainly due to higher costs associated with post-sales product modifications at OEM sites in fourth quarter of 2012.
- General and administrative ("G&A") expenses in the fourth quarter of 2013 were $4.3 million, or 7.8% of revenue, compared with $3.5 million, or 7.2% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in expenses was mainly due to higher bad debt provisions. The bad debt provisions were increased as the Company experienced longer collection periods for sales to some domestic OEMs. However, the Company remains confident that these provisions will be reversed as the majority of SORL's OEM customers are top 15 OEMs in China which have strong financial standing and solid payment histories with SORL.
- Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. As a percentage of revenue, R&D was 3.9% in the fourth quarter of 2013 and declined compared to 4.0% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2012, due primarily to the increase in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013. The R&D program's ongoing focus is for the development of new, higher-margin, electronically controlled mechatronic products and to upgrade the Company's traditional braking products to capture market share.
Financial expenses decreased by 47.8% to $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, from $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to decreased currency exchange losses from the appreciation of the Renminbi ("RMB") against U.S. dollars during the fourth quarter of 2013.
Income before income taxes was $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $3.1 million for the same quarter of 2012. The reduced income reflected lower operating income and other income during the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. The pretax income margin was 3.4% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with 6.3% in the fourth quarter of 2012.
The provision for income taxes was $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. However, tax rate remains 16.3% for full year 2013. The local government granted SORL high-tech enterprise certification in December 2012 that lowered its annual income tax rate to approximately 15% for the 2013 and 2014.
Net income attributable to stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $0.8 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared with $4.1 million, or $0.21 on per basic and diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Full Year 2013 Financial Results
SORL's net sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 increased by 8.5% to $208.6 million from $192.2 million in 2012.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, SORL's sales to domestic OEM market increased by 11.9% to $105.0 million from $93.9 million in 2012. In 2013, aftermarket sales increased to $46.7 million from $45.3 million one year ago. International sales increased by 7.3% to $56.9 million compared with $53.0 million last year, due to the improving conditions in the U.S. market, a broadening international customer base, and the strengthening of the distribution networks.
SORL's gross profit increased 4.2% to $58.6 million in 2013 from $56.3 million in 2012 due to higher sales. Gross margin was 28.1% in 2013 compared with 29.3% for 2012. Starting in 2013, there have been reclassifications of certain costs associated with post-sales product modifications at OEM sites, from costs of sales to selling and distribution expenses. Retrospective adjustments to the historical income statement have also been made to provide a consistent basis of comparison for the financial results. During the fourth quarter 2012, there was much higher volume of such product modifications as compared with that of the same period of 2013. As a result of such reclassifications, gross margin of fourth quarter 2012 was higher than same period of 2013.
SORL's operational expenses increased to $45.8 million in 2013 from $40.4 million in 2012. Selling expenses increased by $1.8 million compared with 2012 primarily due to new packaging materials to comply with more strict packaging standards and higher personnel costs. General and administrative expenses increased by $3.9 million in 2013 mainly due to personnel expenses and an increase in bad debt provision. The higher bad debt provisions, an approximate $2 million year-over-year increase, were due to longer collection periods for the sales to some domestic OEMs. However, the Company remains confident that these provisions will be reversed as the majority of SORL's OEM customers are top 15 OEMs in China which have strong financial standings and solid payment histories with SORL.
The $0.3 million reduction in R&D costs from 2012 was mainly due to measures taken to increase productivity. SORL continues to build new products and upgrade traditional technologies especially in developing electronically controlled products to enhance performance as the Company expands its global presence.
Financial expenses increased by $0.2 million to $2.6 million from 2012, primarily because of increased currency exchange loss.
Income before provision for income taxes was $12.6 million in 2013, compared with $16.3 million in 2012. The pretax income margin was 6.0% versus 8.5% in 2012.
The provision for income taxes was $2.0 million, or a 16.3% tax rate in 2013, as compared to $2.0 million, or a 12.3% tax rate in 2012.
The net income attributable to stockholders in 2013 was $9.4 million compared with $12.8 million in 2012. Earnings per share, both basic and diluted, for the full year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, were $0.49 and $0.66 per share, respectively.
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $28.2 million compared to $41.3 million on December 31, 2012. The Company significantly reduced its short-term bank loan to $4.5 million on December 31, 2013 from $14.6 million at December 31, 2012. Total equity increased to $199.5 million at December 31, 2013 compared with $188.5 million at December 31, 2012. On December 31, 2013, working capital was $144.7 million with a current ratio of 4.13 to 1. Net cash flow from operating activities was $1.4 million.
Recent Events
In March 2014, SORL announced that it received supplier awards from three of its major customers, Dongfeng Liuzhou Automobile Co., Ltd., Dongfeng Dana Axle Co., Ltd. and the Qingte Group.
In January 2014, SORL announced that the Company's new state-of-the-art testing center was completed in January 2014. The new testing center approximates 1,500 square meters, and it has 13 rooms with nearly 111 instruments conducting different measurements on SORL's new and upgraded products.
In November 2013, SORL announced a new supply agreement to exclusively supply the Company's Clutch Master Cylinders and Clutch Cylinders to SAIC-GM-Wuling ("SGMW") for its Wuling Hongguang S vehicles.
In October, SORL announced today that its Brake Master Cylinder won the first "China Urban Transportation Most Trusted Products" award at the 2013 China International Public Transportation Expo ("the Expo") held in Shenzhen. The Expo was jointly hosted by the China Association for Science and Technology and China Road Transport Association, and it was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology. This Expo is the largest, most professional and most influential platform for urban public transportation vehicles and their relevant auto parts.
Business Outlook
For the fiscal year 2014, management reiterates its outlook for net sales to be approximately $225.0 million and net income to be approximately $12.5 million. These targets are based on the Company's current views on the operating and market conditions, which are subject to change.
"The Chinese macroeconomic environment is uncertain in the near term as the central government seeks to change the economic priority to building national consumption of domestic goods rather than exports and fixed asset investments. We believe commercial vehicle inventory levels remain positive for continuing growth and the pre-buy before the strict enforcement of the National IV emission standards will continue over the near term. We remain optimistic that our international sales will contribute more to our sales growth over the next few years as customers in local foreign markets recognize the value in performance and quality our products provide," Ms. Jinrui Yu, SORL's Chief Operating Officer, stated.
