China Industrial Steel, Inc. Reports 2012 Financial Results
 
Company Remains Profitable for the Year, Earning $0.08 for the Year, $0.04 in the Fourth Quarter
 
New York, New York – April 2, 2013 – China Industrial Steel, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced its earnings for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The Company, whose shares trade in the U.S. OTC market under the stock symbol "CDNN”, filed its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2013.

Commenting on the results, Liu Shenghong, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company stated, “I am pleased to report our earnings for 2012. I believe the fourth quarter of 2012 was pivotal for Chinese steel manufacturers in general and China Industrial Steel in particular. Although approximately one-third of steel manufacturers are still operating at a loss, it does seem that prices have bottomed out and demand for steel is trending up as the Government’s efforts to spur economic growth take hold.
 
Chairman Liu went on to say, “Our ability to remain profitable through the recent global economic crisis is a testament to the expertise and determination of our team and the quality of our products. In 2011 we had the foresight to transition our steel bar production to steel wire production to adapt to changes in market demand. This adjustment helped offset the negative impact of market conditions in early 2012 and contributed to the jump in profitability in the fourth quarter.”
 
Chairman Liu concluded, “The steel plate, wire and bar that we manufacture today are used primarily in the construction of buildings and in large scale infrastructure projects, such as roads and bridges, all of which are being cultivated by recently announced government stimulus programs. We will continue working to mitigate the effect of market pricing of both raw material and finished products on our financial results through the management of our production mix and systematic shift to specialty steel products. I am confident that these tactics will continue to facilitate our return to solid revenue growth and improved margins.”
 
 
 

 
 
Financial Discussion
 
China Industrial Steel reported total revenues of $649,318,792 in 2012, a decrease of $173,788,250, or 21% compared to $823,107,042 in 2011. Of the decreased revenues, approximately $117 million, or 68% of the decrease was due to a decrease in the average sales price of steel products; $51 million, or 29% of the decrease was due to decrease in the quantity of steel products sold, and $5 million, or 3% was due to the decrease in the revenue of byproducts.
 
The Company reduced its production of steel plates in 2012 due to lower sales price and lack of market demand. The Company sold 658,425 tons of steel plates in 2012, a decrease of 109,949 tons or 14%, compared to 768,374 tons in 2011. Revenue from steel plates was $335,591,348 in 2012, a decrease of $139,354,856, or 29% compared to $474,946,204 in 2011. The average unit sales price of steel plates was approximately $510 per ton in 2012, a decrease of $108 per ton, or 17%, from $618 in 2011.
 
In 2011, the Company modified its steel bar production line to produce steel wires to adapt to the market demand which helped offset the negative market impact in 2012. In 2012, revenue from steel wires was $236,557,650, an increase of $115,686,667, or 96%, compared to $120,870,983 in 2011. The Company sold 453,595 metric tons of steel wires, an increase of 256,525 metric tons, or 130%, compared to 197,070 in 2011. However, the increase in sales of steel wires was offset by the decrease in the unit sales price. The average unit sales price of steel wires was approximately $522 per ton in 2012, a decrease of $91 per ton, or 15%, from $613 per ton in 2011.
