L & L Energy Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2012 Financial Results
SEATTLE, Dec. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- L & L Energy, Inc., (NASDAQ: LLEN)("L&L" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based company operating coal businesses in China, today announced its financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2011. The Company generated $41.9 million in sales for the second quarter and net income totaled $5.25 million.
Second Quarter 2012 Financial Summary
Ian Robinson, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Our earnings and revenues have seen improvements from our first quarter as a result of our mining operations beginning to ramp up production in accordance with the changing regulatory environment. Although second quarter results have improved, we are still seeing the effects of intermittent temporary slowdown and idling of all mines in our region by the government."
- Revenues were $41.9 million, up 14% from the first quarter
- Net income was $5.25 million, up 70% from the first quarter
- Gross profit was $12.4 million, up 51% from the first quarter
- Earnings per share was $0.11 per diluted share, up 38% from the first quarter
Second Quarter 2012 Operational Summary
Dickson Lee, Chairman and CEO, commented, "I expect a challenging environment for our current operations to continue throughout the course of the consolidation process. However, we have positioned ourselves very well to benefit from the consolidation in the long run with the support we have received from the government and local banks. Additionally we are bolstering up our operations in Guizhou with the addition of new wholesale operations. This will increase our visibility throughout the region and create a strong revenue base."
Lee continued, "This past year has been challenging. The capital markets have also caused us to slow our acquisition plans, but as the business cycle turns, L&L will be well positioned to take advantage of this tremendous growth opportunity in Guizhou."
- CEO, Dickson Lee, meets and receives endorsement from the Vice Governor of Guizhou for L&L to take a leadership role in the provincial coal consolidation process.
- Pan County government also issues letter supporting L&L as a leader in the consolidation policy.
- Industrial and Commercial Bank of China issues an endorsement letter to L&L indicating it will provide up to 50% financing for a period of 5 years, subject to further due diligence.
L&L Focuses on Larger Mines and Strategic Partners
- Dr. Syd Peng, L&L Director and world renowned mining expert, led an inspection team to evaluate potential acquisition targets. Larger mines that present less risk, require less capital expenditures, and have strong management will be the initial focus.
- L&L signs two joint sales/marketing agreements with China Chengtong Metals Co. and Tianjin Fuhao Industrial Co. Ltd. If fully executed, the agreements collectively will generate approximately $US 300 million in revenues throughout calendar 2012.
- Mr. Jingcai Yang, former senior executive for the world's largest coal company, China Shenhua Group Corporation Limited, joins the Company as an advisor.
Lee added, "Working with large strategic partners like CCMC, Tianjin Fuhao and Mr. Yang, one of the founders of the largest coal company in the world, positions L&L for future growth. The synergies between L&L and these large partners is apparent, as they have traditionally focused in the north and we have focused in the southern regions of China. "
