|
|
·
|

|
|
·

Partnered with Beijing Modern Research Institute of Recycling Economy (“RIORE”), a national non-profit institution authorized by the State Council, to develop new research & development center focused on the development of new copper recycling technologies and applications designed to support China’s environmental improvement initiatives and efforts to foster a circular economy.
|
|
·
|
Achieved ISO14001:2004 certification for Environmental Management Systems (EMS) by the International Organization for Standardization. These certifications relate to Lihua's CCA and copper wire, copper anode and copper rod products and the associated production processes.
|
|
·
|
Received three local and municipal government awards, in recognition of the Company’s innovation, internal controls and operational achievements.
|
“We continue to demonstrate robust growth across our core financial metrics. During the first quarter we achieved a new quarterly sales record of $136.9 million, representing 117% increase compared with last year and nominal sequential quarter growth, despite seasonal weakness associated with the Chinese New Year,” said Jianhua Zhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lihua. “Demand for our wire and refined copper products remains solid, with copper anode in particular representing a high growth commodity, as it accounted for nearly half of our revenue in the first quarter. The superior cost and quality of our copper anode product has drawn attention from a growing range of potential customers, including electrolytic copper producers, which have traditionally required products based on virgin copper. Although copper anode generates lower gross profit margins than our wire products, it has a higher return on invested capital as a result of its significantly shorter production cycle, enabling us to maximize the profit generated in a given period.

“We remain committed to the continued advancement of China’s copper industry, and to further extending our leadership position in the market through ongoing innovation. Our recently-formed partnership with RIORE is expected to generate new, environmentally-friendly products, while increasing the sustainability of our operations. In addition, we are exploring partnerships with academic institutions and other industry groups, which will significantly bolster our R&D capabilities, enabling us to introduce new products that will increase Lihua’s value proposition for customers and help build shareholder value.”
First Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Sales for the first quarter of 2011 increased 117% to $136.9 million, compared with sales of $63.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to increased sales of CCA and copper wire products, as well as copper anode, which generated sales of $70.9 million and $66.0 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2011. This compared with CCA and Copper wire products sales of $40.6 million, and copper rod sales of $22.6 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2010.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2011 was $16.9 million, up 43% from gross profit of $11.8 million for the first quarter of 2010. As a percentage of total sales, gross margin decreased to 12.3% in the first quarter of 2011, from 18.7% for the same period last year, primarily due to the continued shift in product mix toward refined copper products, which carry lower gross profit margins than Lihua’s wire products, but have a much higher return on invested capital due to a significantly reduced production cycle, as well as the sharp increase in copper price. During the first quarter of 2011, the average copper price was RMB71,441 per ton, compared with RMB58,463 per ton from the same period last year, reflecting an increase of 22%.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the first quarter of 2011 were $2.1 million, compared with $1.7 million in the same period in 2010. The increase in SG&A was primarily attributable to increased costs related to product distribution and insurance as a result of expanded business, as well as higher administrative and professional fees associated with the Company being a public reporting company and the expanded scale of operations.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2011 was $21,000, compared with $29,000 for the first quarter of 2010, with the decrease mainly attributable to the decrease in interest rates.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the provision for income tax expense was $3.9 million, compared with $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The effective tax rate, excluding the non-cash charge for the fair value of warrants, for the first quarter of 2011 was 23.9%, compared to 23.4% for the first quarter of 2010.
Net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $12.5 million, or $0.41 per share, based on 30.3 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared with net income of $8.9 million, or $0.34 per share, based on 26.3 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding during the same period in 2010.

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $11.1 million or $0.37 per diluted share, an increase of 50%, compared with non-GAAP net income of $7.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP net income excluded gains related to the change in fair value of warrants and the extinguishment of warrant liabilities, totaling approximately $1.4 million and $1.5 million, for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased 47% to $15.7 million, compared with $10.7 million for the same period in the prior year.
Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2011, Lihua had $90.7 million, or $2.99 per diluted share in cash and cash equivalents, compared with $90.6 million as of December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, Lihua had total debt of $2.3 million, which relates to short-term bank loans used for working capital purposes, and working capital of $132.4 million.
Outlook
Lihua expects 2011 gross profit to be between $80.0 million and $82.0 million, and non-GAAP net income between $52.0 million and $54.0 million, representing year-over-year growth of 29-32% and 30-35%, respectively. The Company expects that 2011 growth will be largely the result of continued strong demand in China for recycled copper and copper alternatives in the household appliance, consumer white goods and infrastructure markets.
Lihua’s 2011 financial projections assume one quarter of production and sales contribution from its new copper recycling facility, which is currently under construction and due to commence production by the beginning of fourth quarter 2011. Guidance also excludes any favorable impact on cost of goods sold from the direct import of scrap copper that Lihua plans to undertake once it obtains the importers’ license for which Lihua has applied. Lihua expects that launching production at its new facility ahead of the timeframe currently anticipated, or receiving its importers’ license from the Chinese government would provide a positive impact on its current gross profit and non-GAAP net income expectations.
Mr. Zhu added, “2011 has gotten off to an excellent start for Lihua, both operationally and strategically. We continue to grow our business thanks to the sizeable end market demand for our products, while positioning the Company for further success in the long-term. Construction at our new copper recycling facility, which will double our production capacity to 100,000 tons, is proceeding according to plan, and we are making progress toward fulfilling the final requirement necessary for our import license. Each of these events represents a significant catalyst for Lihua, and they will be instrumental in taking the Company to its next level of operational and financial success.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP net income and other non-GAAP metrics such as EBITDA to provide information about its operating trends. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP net income and EBITDA are not measures of liquidity or of financial performance under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
The Company defines non-GAAP net income as net income excluding the change in fair value of warrants, gain on extinguishment of warrant liabilities, and other one-time or non-recurring items that are evaluated on an individual basis. The Company defines EBITDA as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest income/expense, income taxes, change in fair value of warrants, gain on extinguishment of warrant liabilities, and non-cash share-based compensation expenses. The non-GAAP net income and EBITDA numbers presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Non-GAAP net income and EBITDA, while providing useful information, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or cash flows as determined under GAAP. Consistent with Regulation G under the U.S. federal securities laws, the non-GAAP measures in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure, and this reconciliation is located under the headings “Non-GAAP Net Income Calculation” and "EBITDA Calculation" below.
