Ossen Innovation Announces Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results
Earnings Conference Call is scheduled for 8:30 am EDT on September 28, 2015
SHANGHAI, Sept. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ossen Innovation Co., Ltd. ("Ossen" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: OSN), a China-based manufacturer of an array of plain surface, rare earth and zinc coated pre-stressed steel materials, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
· | Revenues decreased by 28.0% to $25.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, with weakness in both zinc coated PC steel materials and plain surface PC strands and others. |
· | Net income attributable to Ossen Innovation decreased by 12.7% to $1.3 million, or $0.07 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.07 per share, for the same period of last year. |
· | Gross margin improved by 2.3 points to 12.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, mainly due to lower raw material costs. |
· | Operating margin improved by 1.9 points to 7.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from 5.9% for the same period of last year. |
Dr. Liang Tang, Chairman of Ossen Innovation, commented: "The 28% year-over-year decline in our revenues for the second quarter of 2015 highlighted increasing challenges facing our business, as weak investment and trade, combined with high levels of volatility in the domestic stock market, negatively impacted China's already weakening economy during the second quarter. In light of the central government's plan to transform China's growth model from big-ticket project driven to 'more efficient, equitable, and environmentally sustainable' consumer demand driven, we expect China's fixed asset investment, a measure of government spending on infrastructure, continue to expand at a slower pace in coming quarters and thus hinders our ability to grow our business."
Dr. Tang continued: "However, our overall gross margin for the second quarter improved, thanks to lower material costs as Chinese steel prices reached their lowest level in more than 20 years. Heading into the third quarter, we see further slide in steel prices with the composite price index of eight steel products compiled by the China Iron & Steel Association ('CISA') falling to 61.71 last Friday, highlighting ongoing challenges both at the macro level and the industry level."
