- Company Reports 2Q07 Revenues of $32.1 Million; Diluted EPS of $0.50 -
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jinpan International Ltd (AMEX:JST), a leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of cast resin transformers for voltage distribution equipment, today announced consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. Comparison data with the second quarter of last year is not available as the company did not report quarterly results prior to June 30, 2006.
Highlights for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2007 -- Total sales for the second quarter were USD $ 32.1 million. The sales
contribution reflects orders for cast resin transformers in China as
well as growing international sales, primarily to the U.S.
-- Revenues derived from customers in China represented approximately 95%
of revenues in the second quarter while shipments to U.S. customers
generated the remaining 5% of the revenue total. Through the first six
months of 2007, U.S. sales have already surpassed the Company's total
U.S. sales for 2006.
-- Gross profit in the second quarter was $10.7 million. Gross margin as
a percent of revenue was 33.3% Gross margin primarily reflects stable
pricing and lower material costs associated with growing sales of the
company's new electricity transformer model supplied to customers in
China.
-- Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter were
$5.4 million, or 17% of sales. Second quarter operating profit was
$5.2 million, or 16% of sales.
-- Net income for the second quarter was $4.1 million, or $0.50 per
diluted share.
Mr. Zhiyuan Li, Chief Executive Officer of Jinpan commented, "We are very pleased with our second quarter performance which reflects strong customer demand in China as well as growing international revenues. The Chinese economy continues to grow at a healthy pace. As a result, there is increased development of power infrastructure projects in both urban and rural areas. As one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of cast resin transformers in China, we are well positioned to benefit from overall demand.
We are particularly proud of the sales and margin performance of our new cast resin transformer product, which is available to our customer base in China. This product contains non-conventional materials in the design which results in lower material cost, quality performance and improved margins for our business. This product highlights the strength of our engineering and design team and enhances our competitive position in the marketplace." Financial Outlook for 2007 For the full 2007 fiscal year, the Company anticipates revenue of approximately $115 million, a 40% increase compared to 2006 revenue of $82.3 million. Due to the seasonal nature of order shipments, the second half of the fiscal year is generally a stronger period for the company compared to the first half. The Company anticipates net income to be in the range of $12.4 to 12.8 million, or $1.53 to $1.58 per diluted share, which is a 65% to 70% increase compared to 2006 net income of $7.5 million, or $1.12 per diluted share. Updated 2007 net income growth of 65%-70% compares to prior net income growth of 55%-60% issued by the Company on April 2, 2007. This increase is largely a result of greater than expected gross margin due to the sales mix of the Company's new designed transformers, which generally have lower material production costs.
The Company's fiscal 2007 diluted EPS guidance is based on an estimated average diluted share count of 8.1 million shares for the full year, which is an increase of approximately 1.4 million shares from its fiscal 2006 diluted share count of 6.7 million shares, due to its secondary offering completed in December 2006.
Mr. Li continued, "As we look to the second half of 2007, we expect that overall demand for our cast resin transformers will remain strong due to continued economic growth and infrastructure development in China. We also anticipate further upside to our U.S. business as we generate additional interest for orders, which is a direct result of the UL product certification we received earlier this year. We are operating near full capacity and our current backlog is very healthy. In order to fulfill future product orders, we remain focused on the completion of our new Wuhan manufacturing facility which will allow us to increase our current capacity by nearly 50%. We expect to complete construction by the end of the year and believe this new, state- of-the-art facility will be fully operational by January 2008." "Our products are well suited to meet the growing demands for electricity in China and abroad due to their product quality and reliability, competitive pricing, energy efficiency and functionality, and environmental and safety characteristics. Overall, we are comfortable with our position in the market and feel very strongly that we will continue to maintain strong growth and improve profitability as electricity demand increases in our target markets, concluded Li." Financial Results for Six Months of 2007 -- For the six month period ending June 30, 2007, total sales increased
40% to $48.3 million compared to $34.6 million in the prior six month
period last year.

months of 2007 were $8.4 million, or 17.4% of sales, compared to $5.7
million, or 16.5% of sales, in the prior year period. This increase
was a result of hiring and training of additional manufacturing workers
for the new Wuhan facility. Operating profit for the first six months
of 2007 increased 75.3% to $7.0 million compared to $4.0 million in the
prior year period. Six month operating margin increased 290 basis
