Ever-Glory Reports Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Add: 2016   Update: 2016/08/15

NANJING, China, August 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Ever-Glory”) (NASDAQ-GM: EVK), a retailer of branded fashion apparel and a leading global apparel supply chain solution provider, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Mr. Yihua Kang, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ever-Glory, said, “We are pleased with our financial results in the second quarter with top line increasing by 6.5% year-over-year and bottom line returning to profitability. The strategic initiatives we have implemented in the last few months have contributed to these solid results.”

“Despite soft year-over-year retail sales, the performance of this segment was within our expectation. In the second quarter, we continued to execute our key strategies to maintain stability in the retail business in the short term, while focusing on store network optimization, inventory and operation management and branding to drive profitable growth over the long run.”

“Our second quarter wholesale sales grew by 26.9% year-over-year, with strong results recorded in the United States, other European markets (excluding Germany and the United Kingdom) and China. We believe this reflects our recovery efforts as we strive to strengthen product development and supply chain management, as well as optimize our customer base by focusing on high-quality mid-to-high end customers with good credit histories. Looking at the remainder of 2016, we expect the challenging market conditions to remain. We are committed to our strategic initiatives and laying a firm foundation for a sustainable and profitable business in the long term,” concluded Mr. Kang.

Mr. Jason Jiansong Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Ever-Glory, added, “Our solid financial performance reflects the prudent steps that we’ve taken to improve our cost structure, resulting in decreased operating expenses as percentage of total sales in the second quarter. Meanwhile, as part of our effort to reduce inventory levels for our retail business, we increased in-store discounts on out-of-season products during the second quarter, which led to higher production costs as percentage of retail sales and slightly impacted the gross margin for the retail segment. As we remain committed to maximizing operating efficiency and further reducing our inventory levels, we are confident in our long-term growth prospects.”

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Total sales for the second quarter of 2016 were $80.7 million, an increase of 6.5% from $75.7 million in the second quarter of 2015. This increase was primarily driven by a 26.9% increase in our wholesale business partially offset by a 6.7% decrease in our retail business.

Sales for the Company’s branded fashion apparel retail division decreased by 6.7% to $42.9 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $45.9 million for the second quarter of 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the same-store sales. The Company had 1,275 retail stores as of June 30, 2016, compared with 1,204 retail stores as of June 30, 2015.

Salesfor the Company’s wholesale division increased by 26.9% to $37.8 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $29.8 million for the second quarter of 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase in sales in the United States, other European markets (excluding Germany and the United Kingdom) and China, partially offset by a decrease in sales in Germany and Japan.

Total gross profit for the second quarter of 2016 decreased by 11.1% to $26.7 million, compared with $30.0 million for the second quarter of 2015. Total gross margin decreased to 33.1% from 39.7% for the second quarter of 2015.

Gross profit for the retail business decreased by 13.4% to $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $23.8 million for the second quarter of 2015. Gross margin decreased to 48.1% from 51.8% for the second quarter of 2015.

Gross profitfor the wholesale business decreased by 2.5% to $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2015. Gross margin decreased to 16.1% from 21.0% for the second quarter of 2015.

Selling expenses for the second quarter of 2016 decreased by 8.8% to $16.0 million, or 19.9% of total sales, compared with $17.6 million, or 23.2% of total sales for the second quarter of 2015. This decrease was mainly attributable to lower retail sales and a decrease in store management expense.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2016 decreased by 3.8% to $7.3 million, or 9.1% of total sales, compared with $7.6 million, or 10.0% of total sales for the second quarter of 2015.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2016 decreased by 30.9% to $3.4 million compared with $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2015.

Net income attributable to the Companyfor the second quarter of 2016 was $3.1 million compared with $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2015. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.21 for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $0.24 for the second quarter of 2015.
