Recon Technology Reports Financial Results for the First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2019

 

 

BEIJING, Feb. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Recon Technology, Ltd. (Nasdaq: RCON) (“Recon” or the “Company”), a China-based independent solutions integrator in the oilfield service, environmental protection, electric power and coal chemical industries, today announced its financial results for the first six months of fiscal year 2019.

 

Management Commentary

 

Mr. Shenping Yin, co-founder and CEO of Recon stated, “During the first six months of our 2019 fiscal year, our total revenues decreased from RMB53.2 million to RMB42.3 million as compared to the same period last year, largely because of the discontinuation of our temporary business in low-margin equipment and accessories offerings which we conducted in the same period last year. We did not conduct this business this year as our new factories are in stable operation and we are allocating our resources to more effective business. However, our gross profit and gross margin increased from the same period last year, primarily because of our automation product and software and oilfield environmental protection segments. Our operational results were improved as we continue to focus on higher margin business.

 

Mr. Yin continued, “As our operations improved and loss narrowed during this period compared to the same period in 2018, we continue to maintain our prior expectation for fiscal year 2019 to achieve up to RMB 101 million in revenue because of the rapid development of our China Energy Investment Corporation (“China Energy”) projects and our launch of several new factories and business lines. As of today, we have received orders of RMB 33.38 million from China Energy and the total value of the contracts with China Energy which we will perform or are performing exceeds RMB 19 million.

First Six Months Fiscal 2019 Financial Results

 

Revenue

 

Total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2018 decreased by RMB11.0 million, or 20.6% to RMB42.3 million ($6.1 million) from RMB53.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in total revenues was mainly due to the decreased revenue from equipment and accessories segments, offset by increased revenue from the automation product and software and oilfield environmental protection segments.

 

Revenue from automation product and software increased by RMB15.4 million, or 112.9% to RMB29.0 million ($4.2 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from RMB13.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The increased revenue was mainly due to automation business projects for China Energy. The Company recorded RMB 9.4 million revenue from these projects during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

 

Revenue from equipment and accessories decreased by RMB28.9 million, or 73.7% to RMB10.3 million ($1.5 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from RMB39.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. For the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company accepted some low-margin contracts. The Company did not engage in this type of temporary business in the same period of fiscal year 2019 and the revenue from these low-margin business decreased dramatically. Gross margin from this segment increased by 26.5 percentage points to 35.1% for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from 8.6% from the six months ended December 31, 2017.

 

Revenue from oilfield environmental protection increased by RMB2.6 million, or 596.1% to RMB3.0 million ($0.4 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from RMB0.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017, as service requirements from oilfield companies have increased during the period.

 

Cost and Margin

 

Total cost of revenues decreased by RMB20.2 million ($2.9 million), or 42.7%, to RMB27.0 million ($3.9 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from RMB47.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The decrease was mainly caused by significant decrease in cost of revenue incurred in equipment and accessories.

 

 

 

 

Cost of revenue from automation product and software increased by RMB7.5 million ($1.1 million), or 67.7% to RMB18.5 million ($2.7 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from RMB11.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to a significant increase from business of China Energy contracts, which resulted in an amount of RMB7.5 million increase in cost of revenues in this segment.

 

Cost of revenue from equipment and accessories decreased by RMB29.1 million ($4.2 million), or 81.3% to RMB6.6 million ($1.0 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from RMB35.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to quickly decreased sales of heating related products with low margin to general industry clients.

 

Cost of revenue from oilfield environmental protection increased by RMB1.5 million ($0.2 million), or 473.1% to RMB1.8 million ($0.3 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from RMB0.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The increase was mainly due to the increased oily sludge treatment processing projects during the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Company expects this part will increase in the coming year as its new subsidiary Gan Su BHD has begun its trial operation.

 

Gross profit increased by RMB9.2 million, or 151.9% to RMB15.2 million ($2.2 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from RMB6.0 million from the six months ended December 31, 2017. Gross margin increased by 24.6 percentage points to 36.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from 11.4% from the six months ended December 31, 2017. The main reason of the increase in gross margin and gross profit was that as the recovered industry caused the Company’s clients to have higher budgets on operations and the clients were more willing to launch higher-expenditure projects which produced higher margins to the Company. In addition, the Company entered into official operation of some new high-margin businesses in energy consumption market during this year.

 

Operating Expenses 

 

Selling and distribution expenses increased by RMB1.9 million, or 64.7% to RMB4.9 million ($0.7 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from RMB3.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in traveling expense, shipping cost and service fees as the Company expanded its market of China Energy projects and new industries.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by RMB0.2 million, or 1.2% to RMB18.9 million ($2.7 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from RMB18.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense and audit fees, while the increase was partially offset by the decrease in investor relationship expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2018. 

 

Reversal of provision for doubtful accounts was RMB1.5 million ($0.2 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018, compared to provision for doubtful accounts of RMB0.08 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in provision of doubtful accounts was resulted from management’s successful collection of long-outstanding receivables. Management will continue to monitor accounts receivable to maintain the provision at a lower level.

 

 

 

 

Net Loss

 

Loss from operations was RMB8.7 million ($1.3 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018, compared to a loss of RMB17.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. This RMB8.8 million ($1.3 million) decrease in loss from operations was primary due to an increase in gross profit, as well as an increase in reversal of doubtful accounts and partially offset by an increase in selling and distribution expenses as discussed above.

 

Other expense, net was RMB1.2 million ($0.2 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018, compared to other expense, net of RMB0.09 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The RMB1.1 million ($0.2 million) increase in other expense, net was primarily due to the increased loss from investment in unconsolidated entity of RMB0.8 million ($0.1 million). The Company made a deal to invest into Future Gas Station (Beijing) Technology, Ltd (“FGS”) on December 2017 and increased its investment into FGS with additional RMB10 million in cash and issued 2,435,284 restricted ordinary shares of Recon (the “Restricted Shares”) to the other shareholders of FGS. As of December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an investment loss of RMB0.8 million with equity method as FGS was still in its developing period and earned a net loss.

 

Net loss attributable to Recon for the six months ended December 31, 2018 was RMB10.1 million ($1.5 million), or RMB0.56 ($0.08) per basic and diluted share, compared to RMB17.0 million, or RMB2.21 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2017.

 

EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA income was RMB0.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of RMB 5.2 million for the same period last year. Please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a discussion of this metric, which we believe may be informative for investors but which is not a GAAP financial measure.

 

Financial Condition

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had cash of RMB12.0 million ($1.7 million), compared to RMB45.3 million as of June 30, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had working capital of RMB58.8 million ($8.5 million), compared to RMB74.8 million as of June 30, 2018.

Net cash provided by financing activities was RMB1.0 million ($0.1 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2018, compared to RMB24.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to the Company’s U.S. GAAP results, this press release includes a discussion of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings (loss) per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and non-recurring expenses. All of the omitted items are either (i) non-cash items or (ii) items that the Company does not consider in assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Because adjusted EBITDA omits non-cash items, the Company’s management believes that adjusted EBITDA is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash charges and more reflective of other factors that affect its operating performance. The Company’s management defines adjusted earnings per share by eliminating from earnings (loss) per share the impact of a number of non-recurring items the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing performance. Recon’s management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other competitors, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
