“Despite the continued negative effects of China’s economic softening and the aggressive discounting done by other menswear brands in order to clear inventory, I am pleased to see revenue during the first quarter come in at the higher-end of our guidance with our gross margins remaining stable,” commented Mr. Qiming Xu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Xiniya. “While we are disappointed with our sales fair results, we have always encouraged our partners to remain cautious when placing orders in order to ensure their profitability and low inventory levels. This cautious approach has impacted our financial and operational results in the short-term but we believe that it is a good investment that will yield longer term value. By implementing our focused strategy now, we are providing support to our distributors and authorized retailers when they are most in need, giving them the support needed to navigate a market that is facing increasing downwards pressure.”

“Our recommended retail prices during the sales fair remained stable however, demonstrating the continued fashion appeal of our products as we increase the breadth and depth of our collection in order to drive future sales. Using our strong cash position, we have increased our sales rebates and continue to extend longer credit periods for all our distributors. I am confident that these measures along with our shop rack and refurbishing initiatives will provide our partners with the support they need and ensure the future long-term sustainability of our business.”

First Quarter 2014 Results
 
Revenue for the first quarter of 2014 decreased 7.5% to RMB204.6 million from RMB221.2 million during the first quarter of 2013. The Company delivered approximately 1.05 million units to its distributors during the first quarter of 2014, compared with 1.18 million units during the first quarter of 2013. The total retail outlet count as of March 31, 2014 was 1,514. The table below sets forth the number of retail outlets by outlet type:

Gross profit decreased to RMB60.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 from RMB67.8 million in the first quarter of 2013. Gross margin was 29.6% in the first quarter of 2014 as compared with 30.7% in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to increased expenses associated with the research and development of the Company’s latest collection in order to improve their competitiveness and fashion appeal.

Interest and other income was RMB5.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to RMB4.2 million in the first quarter of 2013. The increase was mainly due to the higher interest income from higher time deposits placed with banks in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013.

Selling and distribution expenses in the first quarter of 2014 increased to RMB20.4 million from RMB16.9 million in the first quarter of 2013. The increase was mainly due to printing costs associated with the Company’s 2014 Spring / Summer collection magazine and shopper carrier bags.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company paid for shop rack, signage and various outlet-related accessories for 13 new retail outlets and refurbished 32 existing retail outlets, which includes expanding floor space for 17 existing retail outlets, as compared to 37 new retail outlets and 28 refurbished retail outlets during the first quarter of 2013. The refurbishment of existing retail outlets is expected to upgrade the older retail store image, help attract new consumers and improve the presentation of Xiniya’s products all in an effort to enhance retail outlet sales in the future. These expenses were approximately RMB11.8 million, or 5.8% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2014, compared with RMB11.5 million, or 5.2% of revenue during the first quarter of 2013.

Administrative expenses increased to RMB9.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 from RMB8.8 million in the first quarter of 2013, primarily due to amortization of ERP system.

Profit before taxation was RMB36.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared with RMB46.4 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Income tax expense in the first quarter of 2014 was RMB9.6 million, compared with RMB13.1 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Profit after taxation for the first quarter of 2014 was RMB26.6 million, compared with RMB33.2 million in the first quarter of 2013. Earnings per ADS were $0.08 in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $0.09 per ADS in the first quarter of 2013.

Financial Position

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB827 million, and time deposits held at banks with maturities of more than three months of RMB350.0 million.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had trade receivables of RMB359.8 million. The decrease in trade receivables was primarily due to collections from distributors in the first quarter of 2014.

Prepayments to suppliers are prepayments paid to the contract manufacturers for 2014 spring and summer orders. The decrease in these prepayments from December 31, 2013 was primarily due to offsets with payables to the contract manufacturers during the first quarter of 2014.
