MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Tawny Lam, President of Nova Lifestyle, commented: “We are pleased with our strong growth and performance in the third quarter of 2011. Our acquisition of Diamond Sofa, a well-recognized brand in the U.S with a niche in the urban contemporary furniture market, provides us with a strong distribution channel to the top 100 U.S. furniture companies. We look forward to expanding our e-commerce business and continuing to market our Nova-branded products to the international markets. Our strong revenue and net income growth, as well as our increase in margins, demonstrate consumers’ appetite for our modern contemporary products. We look forward to a year of record revenue and earnings in 2011.”

REVENUE

Revenue was $11.19 million in the third quarter 2011, an increase of $4.24 million or 61% year-over-year. The increase in revenue was due to a 66% increase in sales volume as well as our acquisition of the Diamond Sofa brand, which contributed $1.04 million in additional sales for the quarter. Our largest selling product categories for the third quarter 2011 were chairs, sofas and cupboards, which accounted for approximately 19%, 18% and 17% of sales. Sales to international markets increased $4.00 million year-over-year to $8.5 million in the third quarter 2011, principally as a result of our increased sales in North America. Overall sales in China also increased, with sales of $2.69 million in the third quarter 2011 compared to $2.44 million in 2010. Sales from franchisees selling Nova-branded products in China contributed approximately $1.49 million, constituting 58% of total China sales during the third quarter 2011, compared to $0.44 million or 18% in the same period of 2010. Nova commenced sales through branded franchise stores in the first half of 2010 and anticipates increasing sales volume in China as we continue to expand our franchise network.
 
 
 

 

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit increased 102% to $3.19 million in the third quarter 2011. Gross profit margin increased to 29% in third quarter 2011 from 23% in the same period last year, primarily as a result of increased sales volume and changes in our sales and marketing strategy to expand in the U.S. and China markets. Management believes that gross profit margin will stabilize at approximately 30% going forward as our product mix broadens, sales volume increases and Nova adjusts pricing based on rising raw material costs.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses, were $1.19 million for the third quarter 2011, an increase of 127% compared to the same period last year, as expected. Selling expense increased as we continued expanding in the China retail market by hiring additional sales staff and increasing advertising and promotional marketing. General and administration expense increased because of costs associated with workforce expansion in China and expense related to our acquisitions in 2011 of Nova Furniture and the Diamond Sofa brand.

NET INCOME

Net income was $1.68 million in the third quarter 2011, an increase of 94% year-over-year. Net profit margin was 15%, an increase of 3% from the 2010 period.
