Shiner International Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results

HAIKOU, China, November 14, 2012 -- Shiner International, Inc. (OTCQB: BEST) ("Shiner" or the "Company"), an emerging global supplier of packaging solutions for food, tobacco, and consumer products, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $1.9 million (or 10.2%), to $16.7 million compared to $18.6 million for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased revenues from coated film, color printing advanced film and water-based latex, which was partially offset by increase in revenues generated from BOPP tobacco. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, revenue from coated film revenue decreased $3.2 million (or 46.4%) to $3.7 million from $6.9 million for the corresponding period in 2011, and sales from color printing decreased $0.4 million (or 28.7%) to $1.0 million from $1.4 million for the corresponding period in 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, revenue from BOPP tobacco increased $3.2 million (or 45.0%) to $10.3 million from $7.1 million for the corresponding period in 2011; revenue from advanced film decreased $1.4 million (or 46.0%) to $1.6 million from $3.0 million for the corresponding period in 2011; and revenue from water-based latex decreased $0.1 million (or 98.6%) to $0.01 million from $0.1 million for the corresponding period in 2011.

Shiner's gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.4 million, a profit margin of 8.7%, a decrease of 2.7% from 11.4% for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease in profit margin was primarily a consequence of an increase in labor costs and depreciation of new property.

Operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $3.2 million, compared to operating income of $0.3 million for the corresponding quarter ended September 30, 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by 40.6%, or $.7 million, to $2.5 million in 2012, compared to $1.8 million for the corresponding period in 2011. General and administrative expenses increased during the 2012 period due to a $0.3 million increase in research and development expenditures and a $0.7 million increase in bad debt allowance, as compared to 2011. There was also a $2.1 million increase in loss on sale and write off of assets during the 2012 period.

Shiner reported net loss of $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net income of $0.4 million in the corresponding period of 2011. Earnings per share for the quarter were ($0.13), compared to earnings of $0.01 per share for the corresponding period of 2011.

Nine Months Financial Results

Revenue for the first nine months of fiscal year 2012 decreased $1.9 million (or 3.6%), to $50.5 million, compared to $52.4 million in the corresponding period a year ago. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $4.1 million, a profit margin of 8.1%, a decrease of 5.3% from 13.4% for the corresponding period in 2011.
