(NASDAQ:HEAT) (website: http://www.smartheatinc.com/), a market leader in China's clean technology, energy savings industry today announced record financial results for the 2nd quarter ended June 30, 2009. SmartHeat's products significantly reduce heat energy costs, increase energy efficiency and reduce air pollution. SmartHeat is a U.S. company with its primary operations in China. James Jun Wang, Chairman & CEO of SmartHeat, commented: "Our strong 2nd quarter financial results reflected management's excellent execution of our growth strategies in a favorable market environment for our industry. Due to China's effective implementation of its economic stimulus plan in which the energy savings industry was particularly supported by the Chinese government as a sector that receives significant funding allocations, China's heat energy savings industry has not been negatively impacted by the current global economic slowdown. As a market leader in this space, we believe SmartHeat will continue to deliver consistent and rapid earnings growth in the foreseeable future." Mr. Wang continued: "SmartHeat noticed positive signs of economic recovery and gradual expansion in China's energy savings industry. The current economic slowdown has significantly increased customer awareness towards utilization of energy savings equipment from which we are a primary beneficiary. SmartHeat is well positioned to potentially reap significant benefits from the world's economic recovery." Record 2nd Quarter Revenues -- Revenues of $12.5 million, up 125%, compared to $5.6 million in Q2 2008. -- Significant revenue increase was due to continued market expansion in a favorable market environment. -- SmartHeat experienced significant sales and earnings growth across all product lines. Record 2nd Quarter Net Income -- Net income of $2.6 million, up 257%, compared to $0.73 million in Q2 2008. -- Fully diluted EPS of $0.11, up 267%, compared to EPS of $0.03 in Q2 2008. -- Total shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2009 were 24,179,900 shares. -- The significant increase in net income was primarily due to greater economies of scale in production costs combined with rapid growth in revenues and improved operating efficiency. Raises 3rd Quarter 2009 Earnings Guidance Based on our anticipated greater pace of economic recovery in the 2nd half and increased customer demand for our products as we have entered our seasonally strongest quarter in a year, SmartHeat raises 3rd quarter earnings guidance to approximately $35 million in revenues and approximately $6.8 million in net income. In the 3rd quarter of 2008, SmartHeat reported revenues of $20.7 million and net income of $4.3 million. Raises Full Year 2009 Earnings Guidance SmartHeat raises full year 2009 earnings guidance to approximately $15.5 million in net income on approximately $80 million in revenues. In 2008, SmartHeat reported revenues of $32.7 million and net income of $6.34 million. Business Outlook Mr. Wang commented: "Since the beginning of the 2nd half, we have experienced greater customer order flow and willingness among our existing and new customers to increase demand for our energy savings equipment. Our recently completed asset acquisition of one of China's largest PHE manufacturers has not only expanded our production capabilities but also extended our product offerings to new customer segments. We believe SmartHeat's rapid earnings growth momentum will continue well into 2010 as we anticipate broader global economic recovery next year. We are optimistic that SmartHeat is on track to achieve solid 3rd quarter earnings growth and another year of record success in 2009 for our growing list of individual and institutional shareholders."
