HAIKE CHEMICAL GROUP LIMITED

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

HaiKe Chemical Group Ltd. ("HaiKe" or "the Company" or "the Group"), the AIM quoted (AIM: HAIK) specialty chemical business based in Shandong Province, China, today announces its unaudited consolidated results for the six months ended 30 June 2014.

 

Financial highlights

· Total revenues were stable at RMB460.0 million (H1 2013: RMB469.0 million)

· Gross profit fell 18.4% to RMB47.0 million (H1 2013: profit of RMB57.6 million)

· Profit from operations decreased by 49.0% to RMB16.5 million (H1 2013: profit of RMB32.4 million), adversely affected by one-off restructuring expenses

· Loss for the period was RMB380.5 million (H1 2013: loss of RMB326.6 million)

· Bank loans increased to RMB860.1 million as at 30 June 2014 compared to RMB393.3 million as at 31 December 2013

Operational highlights

· Major restructuring successfully completed in H1 2014 resulting in the divestment of the Group's refinery and biochemical assets to leave a smaller, more focused specialty chemicals business

· Specialty chemical products, particularly those in the mid to lower end, remain in oversupply in domestic market

· Continued focus on high-end products to enhance profitability, increase product mix and grow margins

· Modest sales volume growth in high-end specialty chemicals coupled with a 1.5% increase in average selling prices for specialty products

Outlook

· The global economy remains challenging; whilst growth in local market remains subdued

· Continued efforts to expand source of income and tighten cost control

· Development of new business opportunities underway

Mr. Xiaohong Yang, Executive Chairman, said:

"This has been a tough transitional period for the Company, however with support from our shareholders, we successfully completed a major restructuring of the Group in the first half of the financial year. This culminated in the divestment of the Group's historically unprofitable assets and a significant portion of the Group's financial liabilities.

Despite making good progress in our long-term strategy of focusing on the higher margin, profitable specialty chemicals business, challenging market conditions, including oversupply of specialty chemicals in the domestic market, resulted in a difficult first half for the Group. Encouragingly, the Group's performance improved in July and August, recording a positive operating profit for both months and we continue to work hard to improve the overall performance of the business."

The Interim Results are being sent to shareholders and will be available from the Company's website www.haikechemical.com.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

As planned, we completed a restructuring of the Group during the first half of the financial year. HaiKe now comprises 2 major subsidiaries: (1) Spring Chemical, a PRC manufacturing company which produces and sells specialty chemical products; and (2) Haike Trading, a Hong Kong based company which trades feedstock on behalf of the Group.

In order to comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards, both H1 2014 and its comparable H1 2013 accounts were restated to reflect the restructuring during the reporting period. Profit and loss, as well as cash flow items in connection with discontinuing operations during the period, were carved out and showed in net amount in a separate line, while Balance Sheet items showed post-restructuring status.

1. Review of operating results

During the first half of 2014, the domestic market for specialty chemical products remained flat. Feedstock prices decreased as a result of the depressed crude oil price whilst domestic oversupply, particularly for mid to lower end products, constrained earnings across the industry. 

In H1 2014, the Group sold 60,000 tons of speciality chemicals, representing a volume gain of 4.5% when compared to the same period in the previous year. The average price for speciality products increased by 1.3% year-on-year.  

Trading revenues from HaiKe Trading decreased to RMB29.1 million during the period (H1 2013: RMB46.1 million) as a result of carving out of the biochemicals trading which formed part of the restructuring.

Sales turnover, excluding that from discontinuing operations, was comparable at RMB460.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2014 (H1 2013: RMB469.0million). Gross margins fell to 10.2% (H1 2013: 12.3%). Profit from operations was RMB6.3 million (H1 2013: RMB32.4 million). 

The discontinued operations, including refinery products, biochemicals and salt chemicals, recorded a total turnover of RMB16.6billion (H1 2013: RMB7.8 billion) and a net loss of RMB381.9million (H1 2013: net loss of RMB331.2 million) during the period under review.

2. Financial Analysis

Turnover

The Group's sales turnover was RMB460.0 million in the first half of 2014 (H1 2013: RMB469.0 million) which was a compound result of sales volume increase, sales price gain and a trading volume decrease.

 

Gross Profit

Gross profit was RMB47.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2014, an 18.4% decrease compared with the same period in 2013 (H1 2013: RMB57.6 million). The decrease was mainly attributable to an increase in direct labour cost as a result of an increase in domestic inflation.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses increased by 4.6% to RMB16.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2014 (H1 2013: RMB15.9 million) due to more aggressive sales and marketing efforts in sluggish market conditions, including incremental costs incurred in setting up new sales offices in Shanghai and Hong Kong. General and administrative expenses increased to RMB13.9 million (H1 2013: RMB9.6 million) which was mainly attributable to a one-off expense incurred during the restructuring process.

 

Net Interest Expenses

Interest income decreased by 65.5% year-on-year to RMB1.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2014 (H1 2013: RMB3.8 million) due to lower investment return on cash management as a result of smaller average cash balance.

 

Interest expenses decreased by 47.9% year-on-year to RMB16.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2014 (H1 2013: RMB31.6 million). This was mainly due to a decrease in effective interest rates resulting from the deployment of low-cost financing tools.

 

Profit Before Taxation

Profit before taxation was RMB1.4million for the six months ended 30 June 2014, compared to a profit of RMB4.7 million for the same period in the previous year.

 

Income Tax

Income tax charge was RMB1.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2014, as compared to RMB2.8 million for the same period in the previous year.

 

Loss for the year

Loss for the year was RMB380.5million for the six months ended 30 June 2014 (H1 2013: loss of RMB326.6 million).

 

Loss attributable to non-controlling interest of the Company

The loss attributable to minority interests was RMB37.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2014 (H1 2013: loss of RMB40.1 million). This loss mainly arose from a minority interest in Hi-Tech Chemical.

 

Loss attributable to owners of the Company

Due to the composite effects described above, the loss attributable to the owners of the Company was RMB343.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2014 (H1 2013: loss of RMB286.5 million).

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to RMB7.2 million as at 30 June 2014 compared to RMB125.2 million as at 31 December 2013. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to the disposal of the Group's refinery assets.

 

Bank loans

Bank loans increased to RMB860.1 million as at 30 June 2014 compared to RMB393.3 million as at 31 December 2013. The short-term portion of bank loans increased by RMB466.8 million. The increase in bank loans was mainly due to increased financing demand for operations as a result of negative operating cash flow in H1 2014.

 

Cash flow from operating activities

Cash flow from operating activities was RMB409.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2014, compared to a negative cash flow of RMB256.9 million for the same period in the previous year. This was mainly attributable to earnings deterioration and negative movements of working capital.

3. Outlook

The outlook remains challenging on the back of the volatile global economy and slowing domestic economic growth. In addition, most specialty chemical products remain in oversupply whilst sales' volumes remain flat and prices are under pressure.  

In response to these difficult market conditions, the Company will continue to improve product mix by focusing on the more profitable higher-end products, drive technological innovation, tighten cost control, and strengthen sales and marketing efforts by developing overseas markets. The Company will also assess the viability of introducing new products to the domestic market to diversify our specialty chemicals offering.

Encouragingly, the Group's performance improved in July and August 2014, recording a positive operating profit for both months. This was mainly attributable to a turnaround at Spring Chemical as a result of a higher utilisation rate compared to the first half.
