China Skyrise Announces Full-Year 2009 Results
Revenue increased 65.6% year-over-year to $6.9 million
SHENZHEN, China, April 1 -- China Skyrise Digital Service Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: CSKD) ("China Skyrise" or the "Company") yesterday announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Fiscal 2009 Results
Revenue totaled approximately $6.9 million in 2009, a strong increase of 65.6%, versus $4.1 million for 2008. This rapid revenue growth was primarily driven by higher unit sales more than offsetting lower average selling prices.
"We are delighted to see that demand for our digital intercom products and solutions continued to experience robust growth in 2009 despite a challenging business environment," said Mr. Mingchun Zhou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Skyrise. "Revenues grew 65.6% in 2009, and our market share expanded to 12%. During the year, we earned nearly all of our revenue from digital intercom products and solutions, which we believe serves as an indicator that long-term industry trends are working in our favor. In terms of geographical contribution, we saw strength in the percentage of sales attributable to sales in Guangdong, our home province, which contributed 57.8% to our total sales during the period, compared to 31.3% in the previous year. Our product sales were also strong in Zhejiang, Hubei, and Jiangsu provinces and in Beijing, which together accounted for 32.1% of total sales."
"In September 2009, we went public in the U.S. through a share-exchange transaction, which represented another major milestone for China Skyrise," continued Mr. Zhou. "We are excited to be the one of the first companies in China's digital intercom sector to list publicly on a U.S. stock exchange. We believe that this represents an important step for us as we seek a higher platform to continue our geographic expansion and implement our strategic growth plans."
Cost of goods sold climbed by 157.6% to $4.7 million in 2009, or 68.5% of sales, from $1.8 million, or 44.1% of sales in the prior period. The Company reduced prices to maintain and continue to gain market share as customers became more price-sensitive in the global financial crisis. The cost of goods sold was also negatively affected by a moderate increase in raw materials cost due to an unfavorable supply-demand imbalance. In addition, some software- development cost in 2008 was recorded in cost of goods sold in 2009.
Gross profit for 2009 totaled $2.2 million, or 31.5% of sales, compared with $2.3 million, or 55.9% of sales, for 2008. The decrease in gross margin was largely attributable to a shift in customer demand towards standard products, versus high-end and luxury products, which were stronger in 2009.
Operating expenses totaled approximately $1.3 million for 2009, roughly flat with 2008. Total operating expenses amounted to 19.3% of sales in 2009, compared with 32.0% in 2008. Selling expenses decreased by 2.6% year over year to $0.5 million due to a contracted sales network. General and administrative expenses, though, grew 1.7% year over year to $0.8 million. Research and development expenses increased 8.9% to $418,177 in 2009 (amounting to 6.1% of sales) from $383,952 in 2008 (9.3% of sales), as the Company added more research and development employees.
Operating income was $0.8 million compared to $1.0 million in 2008.
The Company's net income in 2009 was $1.1 million, down 14.4% from $1.2 million in 2008. Earnings per basic and diluted share was $0.05 for 2009, compared to $0.07 for 2008.
Financial Condition
As of December 31, 2009, China Skyrise had $0.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $3.8 million in working capital. The Company had $0.4 million of short-term debt and no long-term liabilities. As of December 31, 2009, shareholders' equity was $4.4 million.
Business Outlook
China Skyrise maintains a positive outlook for China's security surveillance sector, and management estimates that the market for video surveillance is growing at an annual rate of 15% or greater. Management believes that the Company is well positioned to benefit from the continuing momentum of China's residential real estate industry. In the first quarter alone, the Company began shipping to six new intercom projects in Macau, Taiwan, Haikou (in Hainan Province), Ningbo (in Zhejiang Province) and Hefei (in Anhui Province).
While the Company continues to gain market share with its low-end digital solutions displacing competitors' high-end analog solutions, China Skyrise also stands to benefit from analog-to-digital upgrades of existing residential neighborhoods, a huge market. The Company is also developing a new cost-saving system-on-chip, and has initiated projects with two of China's leading 3G wireless communication service providers to test-launch standalone wireless intercom solutions. Wireless connectivity opens up potential markets for value-added services such as broadband access and home shopping, serving Chinese families. To maintain its technology leadership in the digital intercom segment, China Skyrise plans to maintain a healthy level of R&D investment, with R&D spending expected to grow by 30% annually from 2010 to 2012.
"With continuous product innovation and strong brand recognition, we are optimistic about our financial performance in 2010 and beyond. We believe our current backlog of approximately $2.2 million, together with continuing new business wins will generate revenue of approximately $10.2 million and net income of approximately $1.8 million in 2010," concluded Mr. Zhou.
The Company will continue to enjoy preferential tax treatment for the next three years starting in 2010, with an applicable tax rate of 11%.
