SHANGHAI, Sept. 20, 2018 /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 six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

"Our first half of 2018 results exceeded our expectations and provided a strong beginning to the year for Ossen," stated Dr. Liang Tang, Chairman of Ossen Innovation. "During the six months period, we won a few more bridge projects in China that contributed to our sales results and positively impacted our growth, margins and profitability. As the Chinese government continues to reduce the overcapacity in steel industry and push forward on infrastructure projects around the country, we continue to increase our efforts to win multiple infrastructure projects and further solidify our position as a market leader."

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Financial Results

 

   For the Six Months Ended June 30, 
($ millions, except per share data)  2018   2017   % Change 
Revenues  $70.0   $52.0    34.6%
Gross profit  $10.0   $4.8    109.4%
Gross margin   14.3%   9.2%

Net income attributable to Ossen Innovation  $4.8   $1.2    291.7%
EPS  $0.24   $0.06    300.0%

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, revenues increased by $18.0 million, or 34.6%, to $70.0 million from $52.0 million for the same period of last year. This increase was mainly attributable to increase in rare earth coated products and plain surfaced and other products and partially offset by decrease in zinc coated products. The sales of rare earth coated PC steel materials were $58.4 million and accounted for 83.4% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Sales of plain surface and other products were $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. There were no sales of zinc coated products in this period.

 

Gross profit increased by $5.2 million, or 109.4%, to $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $4.8 million for the same period of last year. Gross margin increased by 5.1 percentage points to 14.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from 9.2% for the same period of last year. Gross margins for rare earth products were 12.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 7.2% for the same period of last year. Gross margin for plain surface and other products was 22.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to19.4% for the same period of last year.

 

Selling expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 36.8%, to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $0.3 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was due to less freight expenses related to export. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.9 million, or 43.4%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $2.2 million for the same period of last year. The increase was due to higher research and development expenses.

 

 

 

 

As a result, total operating expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 34.3%, to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $2.4 million for the same period of last year.

 

Operating income increased by $4.4 million, or 188.2%, to $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $2.3 million for the same period of last year. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to increase in gross profit and partially offset by increase in general and administrative expenses. Operating margin was 9.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 4.5% for the same period of last year.

 

Net income increased by $3.8 million, or 275.1%, to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.4 million for the same period of last year.

 

After deducting net income attributable to non-controlling interest, net income attributable to Ossen Innovation increased by $3.5 million, or 291.7%, to $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018from $1.2 million for the same period of last year.
