SHENZHEN, China, March 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cogo Group, Inc. ("Cogo", or the "Company") (Nasdaq: COGO), a leading gateway for global semiconductor companies to access the Industrial and Technology markets in China, today announced unaudited financial results for its fourth quarter and audited full year financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company reported record quarterly revenue of $113.5 million, up 28.9% year-over-year compared to $88.1 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Net income attributable to Cogo Group, Inc. for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $4.6 million, up 7.2% from $4.3 million reported in the same period last year, with Non-GAAP net income attributable to Cogo Group, Inc. up 27.0% over the same period last year. Earnings per share ("EPS") Diluted attributable to Cogo Group., Inc. on a U.S. GAAP basis was $0.12, on a Non-GAAP basis was $0.24, up 27.0% from the fourth quarter of 2009.

For the full year 2010, the Company reported revenue of $392.4 million, a 27.8% increase compared to $307.1 million reported for 2009. Net income attributable to Cogo Group, Inc. for 2010 was $17.0 million, up 44.9% from $11.8 million in 2009, and EPS Diluted attributable to Cogo Group, Inc. on a U.S. GAAP basis was $0.45, up 42.9% from $0.32 reported for the prior year.

Jeffrey Kang, CEO and Chairman of Cogo, remarked, "We are following up a strong 2010 with a great start to 2011. As we indicated on March 1, 2011, our first quarter results are tracking better than expected. We expect 2011 to be another year of strong revenue growth and operating margin expansion. The closing of the MDC Tech acquisition in January 2011 also provides us with a strong foothold in two fast growing Industrial markets: Health Care and Smart Grid.  

"In 2010, we added 180 customers and increased our Average Revenue Per User ("ARPU") for each customer by over 10%. We added key supplier partnerships with Intel and Xilinx and continued to be a leading gateway for global semiconductor players like Broadcom, Atmel and Freescale to access the fast growing and lucrative China Technology and Industrial markets. Our Small and Medium Enterprise ("SME") strategy paid off, with SME ARPU growth of over 21% year-over-year in 2010."

"Our Automotive business has increased significantly and our Tablet business has become noteworthy in just a few months. Industrial trends are providing continued tailwinds in Smart Meters/Smart Grid and High-Speed Railways. We have a strong capital structure, which we will continue to utilize in 2011 to fund working capital growth, acquisitions and strategically buyback stock."

Balance Sheet

The Company completed fiscal year 2010 with cash of $106.0 million, up $8.2 million versus 2009. Pledged bank deposits increased to $50.3 million at the end of 2010 from $17.0 million at the end of 2009, due to an increase in banking facilities to facilitate USD-denominated operations. Inventory increased from $21.4 million at the end of 2009 to $38.0 million as of December 31, 2010. Accounts receivable increased from $90.5 million at the end of 2009 to $103.3 million as of December 31, 2010, and accounts payable decreased from $11.9 million in 2009 to $9.6 million in 2010. Accounts receivable and inventory increased due to the Company's revenue growth and the entrance into new end-markets. Bank borrowings at the end of 2010 amounted to $76.7 million as compared to $17.5 million of borrowings reported as of December 31, 2009.  

In the fourth quarter of 2010, inventory days decreased from 47 days reported for the third quarter of 2010 to 36 days. Days sales outstanding increased slightly from 82 days reported for the third quarter to 84 days in the fourth quarter. Days payable outstanding in the fourth quarter decreased from 13 days to 9 days as compared with the third quarter.  Cogo's cash conversion cycle improved from 116 days in the third quarter of 2010 to 111 days in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Total cash, including pledged bank deposits, fell slightly in the fourth quarter, from $157.1 million reported at the end of the third quarter to $156.3 million as at December 31, 2010, driven by $0.8 million in share buybacks, a small increase of working capital, offset by the appreciation of RMB. Total cash, including pledged bank deposits, was $156.3 million as of December 31, 2010, compared to $114.8 million reported as of December 31, 2009. Intangible assets decreased from $17.0 million at the end of 2009 to $12.7 million as of December 31, 2010, and goodwill decreased from $28.8 million at the end of 2009 to $26.6 million as of December 31, 2010. In 2010, the Company repurchased 1,023,454 shares of stock at an average price of $6.91. Cogo Group, Inc. equity was $256.4 million as of December 31, 2010, an increase of 13.4% from $226.1 million as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had $79.7 million in net cash, or approximately $2.09 per share of net cash.

Business Outlook

As announced on February 1, 2011, management's guidance for the first quarter of 2011 is $95-$100 million in revenue and estimated Non-GAAP EPS Diluted of $0.19. As noted in the March 1, 2011 press release, the Company's first quarter of 2011 results are progressing better than initially expected. The Company continues to target longer term gross margins of 15% and operating margins of 10%.

Currency Exchange Rates Impacts on Annual Results

The annual revenue for the full year 2010 was $392.4 million. Total revenue cumulated by adding the results of the four quarters together would have been $385.7 million*. Cumulated Non-GAAP EPS Diluted based on the addition of the results of the four quarters would have been $0.81. Because RMB has appreciated against USD during 2010, the full year revenue was $6.7 million higher than the cumulated revenue.

Safe Harbor Statement:

This press release includes certain statements that are not descriptions of historical facts, but are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements may include statements about our proposed discussions related to our businesses such as businesses with Broadcom, Atmel and Freescale or growth strategy such as growth in digital media, telecommunications and industrial applications businesses, as well as our potential acquisitions which are subject to change. Such information is based upon expectations of our management that were reasonable when made, but may prove to be incorrect. All such assumptions are inherently subject to uncertainties and contingencies beyond our control and upon assumptions with respect to future business decisions, which are subject to change. For further descriptions of other risks and uncertainties, see our most recent Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form 10-K, and our subsequent SEC filings.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

To supplement Cogo's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Cogo uses the following measures defined as Non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: 1) Non-GAAP net income attributable to Cogo Group, Inc. which is net income attributable to Cogo Group, Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses and acquisition related costs, such as amortization and impairment of intangible assets, related deferred taxation and impairment of goodwill and 2) Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cogo Group, Inc., which is basic and diluted earnings per share excluding share-based compensation expenses and acquisition related costs, such as amortization and impairment of intangible assets, related deferred taxation and impairment of goodwill. The presentation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these Non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this release.

Cogo believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based compensation expense and acquisition related costs, such as amortization and impairment of intangible assets, related deferred taxation and impairment of goodwill that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. Cogo believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these Non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These Non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to Cogo's historical performance and liquidity. Cogo computes its Non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter.

Cogo believes these Non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using Non-GAAP net income attributable to Cogo Group, Inc., Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cogo Group, Inc., Non-GAAP income from operation and Non-GAAP operating margin is that these Non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation expense and acquisition related costs, such as amortization and impairment of intangible assets, related deferred taxation and impairment of goodwill that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a recurring expense in our business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each Non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to Non-GAAP financial measures.
