Aoxin Tianli Group, Inc. Reports Third Quarter of 2015 Financial Results
 
WUHAN CITY, China, Nov. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Aoxin Tianli Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABAC) ("Aoxin Tianli" or the "Company"), a diversified company with businesses in hog farming, manufacture and marketing of electro-hydraulic servo-valves, and the development of optical fiber hardware and software solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.
 
Ms. Hanying Li, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of Aoxin Tianli Group, Inc., commented, "Our revenues and net income for the third quarter decreased significantly primarily driven by weakness in our hog farming and servo businesses. We sold less hogs despite an uptick in hog selling prices in the third quarter, and we saw the continuation of a dramatic slowdown in our servo business that started in the second quarter."
 
Ms. Li continued, "Additionally, the Chinese stock market turmoil this year has prevented us from carrying out our acquisition and diversification strategy effectively and successfully so far this year and caused us to reassess our growth and diversification strategy. With the recent change of management and the support of our Board of Directors, the Company will in the immediate term focus its efforts on hog farming and related businesses such as meat processing and wholesale distribution of pork products while in the longer term continue to pursue selective acquisition and/or strategic investment opportunities. Our decision of selling the 88% equity interest in Hang-ao, which has been underperforming this year reflects the latest changes in our immediate focus."

Revenues
 
Revenues for the third quarter of 2015 decreased by $2.02 million, or 17.6%, to $9.46 million from $11.48 million for the same period of last year. The reduction in revenues reflects the impact from the sale of two hog farms in the third quarter of 2015 and the closure of another farm in 2014. Although we sold fewer hogs during the third quarter of 2015, the adverse effect was partly offset by improved hog prices.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2015 from hog farming, which includes sales of regular breeder hogs, regular market hogs, and black hogs, decreased by $0.46 million, or 4.9%, to $8.87 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $9.32 million for the same period of last year. The Company sold a total of 36,265 regular breeder hogs, regular market hogs and black hogs with a blended average selling price of $244 per hog during the third quarter of 2015, compared to 42,147 hogs sold and a blended average selling price of $221 per hog for the same period of last year.
 
 
 

 
 
 
Revenues for the third quarter of 2015 from regular breeder hog sales decreased by 9.1% to $1.68 million with the number of regular breeder hogs sold decreasing by 14.7% to 6,078 hogs and the average selling price of regular breeder hogs increasing by 6.6% to $276 per hog. Revenues for the third quarter of 2015 from regular market hog sales decreased by 2.2% to $4.15 million as the number of regular market hogs sold decreased by 18.7% to 16,830 hogs and the average selling price of regular market hogs increased by 20.5% to $247 per hog. Revenues for the third quarter of 2015 from black market hogs decreased by 6.2% to $3.03 million with the number of black hogs sold decreasing by 6.8% to 13,357 hogs and the average selling price of black hogs increasing by 0.4% to $227 per hog. The decrease in the number of black market hogs was due to decreased production by the independent farmers in our black hog program. We anticipate that as the production of these farmers reaches capacity, the number of black hogs we will have available for sale will level off.
 
We sold 56,195 kilograms of specialty black hog pork products through retail at approximately $6 per kilogram, generating revenues of $0.31 million for the third quarter of 2015. This compared to 52,750 kilograms sold at approximately $5 per kilogram and revenues of $0.24 million for the same period of last year. These revenues, combined with the sales of black market hogs, led to $3.35 million in revenues from our black hog program.
 
Revenues from our servo business was $0.07 million, including $0.06 million from selling electro-hydraulic servo devices and relevant components and the rest from providing maintenance services to customers, and accounted for 0.8% of total revenues for the third quarter of 2015.
 
Revenues from our security & protection business was $0.21 million, all from selling optical fiber invasion alarm systems, and accounted for 2.2% of total revenues for the third quarter of 2015.
 
Gross profit
 
Cost of goods sold decreased by $2.41 million, or 27.3%, to $6.43 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $8.84 million for the same period of last year. Cost of goods sold related to hog farming, retail, servo and security & protection were $6.10 million, $0.22 million, $0.03 million and $0.08 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $7.64 million, $0.21 million, $0.92 million, and $0.08 million, respectively, for the same period of last year. The major reasons for the decrease in our cost of goods sold were that we sold less hogs during the period as a result of the reduction in the number of farms we operate, and a decrease in the price of feed.
 
Overall gross profit increased by $0.40 million, or 15.0%, to $3.03 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $2.63 million for the same period of last year. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2015 for hog farming, retail, servo and security & protection were $2.76 million, $0.09 million, $0.05 million, and $0.13 million, respectively.
 
Overall gross margin was 32.0%, with gross margins for hog farming, retail, servo and security & protection segments 31%, 28%, 64% and 62%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2015. This compared to overall gross margin of 22.9%, and gross margins for hog farming, retail, servo and security & protection of 18%, 16%, 42%, and 73%, respectively, for the same period of last year. The improvement in our gross margin in our Hog Farming and Retail segments was primarily the result of increased hog selling prices and the increased volume in our Retail segment.
 
Operating income
 
Total operating expenses, including general and administrative expenses and selling and marketing expenses, increased by $0.36 million, or 33.6%, to $1.43 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $1.07 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily caused by a decision to increase R&D spending on our Security & Protection business by $0.15 million and a grant of stock to key employees which generated non-cash compensation expense of $0.12 million.
 
Operating income increased by $0.04 million, or 2.3%, to $1.60 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $1.56 million for the same period of last year. Operating profit margin for the third quarter of 2015 was 16.9%, compared to 13.6% for the same period of last year.
 
 
 

 
 
Net income
 
 
Net income decreased by $1.05 million, or 54.9%, to $0.86 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $1.90 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in net income was mainly due to loss from disposal of farms of $0.79 million this year and decrease in subsidy income of $0.40 million, partially offset by decrease in interest expenses of $0.18 million. After the deduction of non-controlling interests, net income attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2015 was $0.88 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. This compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $1.81 million, $0.08 per diluted share, for the same period of last year.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from hog farming, which include sales of regular breeder hogs, regular market hogs, and black hogs, increased by $1.05 million, or 4.0%, to $27.50 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $26.46 million for the same period of last year. The Company sold a total of 122,851 regular breeder hogs, regular market hogs and black hogs with a blended average selling price of $224 per hog for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 123,805 hogs sold and a blended average selling price of $214 per hog for the same period of last year.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from regular market hog sales increased by 0.7% to $12.31 million as the number of regular market hogs sold decreased by 7.3% to 58,829 hogs while the average selling price of regular market hogs increased by 8.3% to $209 per hog.

We anticipate that as the production of these farmers reaches capacity, the number of black hogs available for sale will no longer increase and sales will be more a function of market conditions, not our capacity.
