Ossen Innovation Announces First Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Earnings Conference Call is Scheduled for 8:30 am ET on June 30, 2016
SHANGHAI, June 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ossen Innovation Co., Ltd. ("Ossen Innovation" 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Dr. Liang Tang, Chairman of Ossen Innovation, commented, "In the first quarter, we saw decline in demand for our zinc coated products as a direct result of the continued struggles facing the steel industry. Despite this challenge and macro headwinds, we managed to grow our total revenues by 12.4% in the first quarter while maintaining profitability as we were able to grow sales of rare earth coated products, plain surface PC strands and other products including steel wires and services. Our overall gross margin also decreased from 13.5% to 10.4% for the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to a shift in product mix toward lower margin products and increased pricing pressure for our major products. Looking ahead, with no significant improvement in macro and industry fundamentals in the near term, we remain cautious in our outlook."

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, revenues increased by $3.3 million, or 12.4%, to $30.1 million from $26.8 million for the same period of last year. This increase was primarily due to increased revenue contribution from rare earth coated products, plain surface PC strands and other products and partially offset by decrease in sales from zinc coated products. The sales of coated PC steel materials, including both rare earth and zinc coated products, increased by $1.9 million, or 8.8%, to $24.0 million and accounted for 79.7% of total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $22.1 million, or 82% of total sales, for the same period of last year. Sales of rare earth coated products increased by $5.5 million, or 30.5%, to $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $18.2 million for the same period of last year. Sales of zinc coated products decreased by $3.6 million, or 92.6%, to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $3.9 million for the same period of last year. Sales of plain surface PC strands and others increased by $1.4 million, or 30.4%, to $6.1 million and accounted for 20.3% of total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $4.7 million, or 17.6% of total sales, for the same period of last year. This increase was mainly due to increased contribution from other products, including sales of steel wire and services that together contributed $4.6 million in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 versus $0.3 million for the same period of last year.
Gross profit decreased by $0.5 million, or 13.8%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $3.6 million for the same period of last year. Gross margin decreased to 10.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 13.5% for the same period of last year. Gross margins for rare earth and zinc coated products were 7.7% and 33.7%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 11.5% and 26.2%, respectively, for the same period of last year. Gross margin for plain surface PC strands and others was 20.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 11.2% for the same period of last year due to higher gross margin of plain surface products in the first quarter of 2016.
Selling expenses increased by $0.1 million, or 86.6%, to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $0.1 million for the same period of last year. The increase was due to higher transportation cost and higher commission fees. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 25.4%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $1.8 million for the same period of last year, mainly due to the decrease in bad debt provision in the first quarter of 2016. As a result, total operating expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 18.3%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $2.0 million for the same period of last year.
Operating income decreased by $0.1 million, or 8.4%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $1.7 million for the same period of last year. Operating margin was 5.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 6.2% for the same period of last year.
Net income decreased by $0.3 million, or 33.6%, to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $0.9 million for the same period of last year.
After deducting net income attributable to non-controlling interest, net income attributable to Ossen Innovation decreased by $0.4 million, or 46.5%, to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $0.9 million for the same period of last year. Earnings per share, both basic and diluted, were $0.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $0.04 for the same period of last year.

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.6 million for the same period of last year. This was primarily due to the increase in advance to suppliers.

Net cash used in financing activities was $90,615 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $4.1 million for the same period of last year.
