Jinpan International Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010 Financial Results
CARLSTADT, N.J., March 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Jinpan International Ltd (Nasdaq: JST), a leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of cast resin transformers for voltage distribution equipment, today announced unaudited consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010.
Fourth Quarter 2010 Results
Net sales for the fourth quarter were $43.2 million, a 3.6% increase from $41.7 million in the same period last year. The increase in sales was the result of higher international sales and higher volume transformer sales in the Company's domestic business. In the fourth quarter, domestic sales accounted for $40.3 million, or 93.3% of net sales, compared to $39.7 million, or 95.2% of net sales in the same period last year. Net sales outside of China were $2.9 million, or 6.7% of net sales, compared to $2.0 million, or 4.8% of net sales in the same period last year.
Cast resin transformers (excluding those for wind power applications), switch gears and unit substations represented $39.8 million, or 92.1% of net sales in the fourth quarter, while wind energy products represented $3.4 million, or 7.9% of net sales in the fourth quarter.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter decreased 1.8% year over year to $16.9 million from $17.2 million. Fourth quarter 2010 gross profit margin was 39.2% compared to 41.3% in the prior year period and 35.9% in the 2010 third quarter. Fourth quarter 2010 gross margin improved sequentially primarily due to a higher level of international sales and higher level of customized product orders.
Selling and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter were $11.2 million, or 25.9% of net sales, compared to $11.4 million, or 27.3% of net sales in the same period last year. This decrease was primarily a result of lower R&D expense related to new product development.
Operating income decreased 1.8% to $5.8 million, or 13.3% of net sales, from $5.9 million, or 14.1% of net sales in the same period last year.
Net income for the fourth quarter decreased 7% to $5.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, from $6.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Fourth quarter net income as a percentage of net sales was 13.4%.
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had $27.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $23.7 million at December 31, 2009. The Company's accounts receivable on December 31, 2010 totaled $76.0 million, compared to $64.2 million at December 31, 2009. Notes payable in the 2010 fourth quarter increased to $27.1 million compared to $5.0 million at the end of December 31, 2009. Total bank loans outstanding at December 31, 2010 increase to $13.7 million as compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 2009.
Mr. Zhiyuan Li, Chief Executive Officer of Jinpan, commented, "Overall we had a solid fourth quarter and believe our growth trends will continue in 2011. We were pleased to see a sizeable sequential improvement to our gross profit margin due to improved customized orders and international sales shipments. While the price for silicon steel remains at historic lows, we increased our volume for cast resin transformers at a healthy pace in the fourth quarter. Our engineering capabilities and high quality transformer products give us an edge over our competitors and allows us to maintain pricing discipline. International purchase orders have climbed at a steady rate in recent months and we finished the month of February with our highest level of international orders since August 2009. We are hopeful that our international and domestic product demand will continue to rise throughout 2011."
"Looking at our opportunities for the remainder of this year, we believe we will benefit from the rollout of new products developed in recent quarters, such as our gas insulated switch gear products. We also plan on selling a larger number of cast resin transformers domestically in China which are utilized for big industrial infrastructure projects. We also believe we can benefit from improving sales in our wind energy business. As the economic environment further improves, we continue to capitalize on new market opportunities that will further solidify our position in the power distribution and wind energy market."
