Management Comments
 
Mr. Qingtao Xing, Shiner’s C.E.O., commented, “The recently enacted Food Safety Law is beginning to strengthen consumer confidence. A regional melamine scare located in the Guangdong Provence in early February of 2010 was handled promptly by government regulators and had no impact on consumer confidence. This minor flare-up highlights the work that is still required to meet consumer expectations for protection but demonstrates the government’s desire and will to provide for a safe food supply for the Chinese consumer. With the mild recovery of the global market, and growing consumer confidence in the Chinese domestic market, we are guardedly optimistic that consumption will continue to rebound.”
 
Commenting on Shiner's performance, Qingtao stated, “We are encouraged by the continued positive trends in revenue in the fourth quarter; our gross profit was positively impacted by improved product mix toward our higher margin products, anti counterfeit film and coated film, which resulted in our net income remaining unchanged from the previous quarter.  We are experiencing an increase of inquiries from food manufacturers on how to comply with the new food regulations enacted in June 2009. This renewed interest from manufacturers affects our entire breadth of products and we are confident this will lead to an overall improvement in our business.  We will complete construction of our new Hainan manufacturing facility in June 2010 at a total cost of $12 million with the facility expected to be fully operational in October. With the completion of this facility, Shiner will be well positioned to be the prime beneficiary of increased domestic consumption, a growing world economy, and increased market penetration through the recently enacted Food Safety Laws.  We believe that Shiner will continue to improve its revenue and net income and increase the value to our shareholders."

Safe Harbor Statements


All statements in this press release that are not historical are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements in this press release as they reflect Shiner International, Inc.'s current expectations with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Shiner believe that "adjusted net income" and "adjusted earnings per share," when taken in conjunction with reported results, provide a useful measure of financial performance since they eliminate the impact of certain non-recurring, non-cash charges. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Additionally, the non-GAAP financial measures used by Shiner may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the Financial Statements included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”  
 
Shiner uses certain non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. In addition, Shiner believes "adjusted net income" and "adjusted earnings per share," when used as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, provide a useful measure of financial performance since they eliminate the impact of certain non-recurring, non-cash charges. These non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends.
 
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.  Additionally, investors are advised that the non-GAAP financial measures used by Shiner may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
