Symax Lift (Holdings) Co. Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SYL) ("Symax" or the "Company") announces its financial results for the three-month period ending March 31, 2012. Highlights -- Sales increased to $4.9 million during the first quarter of 2012, representing a 51% increase over the same quarter of previous year. The Company closes its operations for 3 weeks during the Chinese New Year holiday and, as such, the Company generally experiences reduced sales activity during this quarter. -- The Company has seen continued success in its new product launches. Sales of Dingtai Passenger Elevator continued to grow to represent $2.7 million during the quarter. Further, during the first quarter, the Company launched its new Green Passenger Elevator product line targeted at the lower rise government housing and tier 3 and 4 city developments as well as the export market. In its first quarter of launch, this product achieved $1.5 million in sales and 29% gross margins. -- Gross profit increased to $1.3 million during the first quarter of 2012, representing a 55% increase over the same quarter of previous year. This improvement was due to higher export sales, which contributed to an improvement in gross margin to 26% in the first quarter from 25% in the same quarter of last year. -- Holiday-related lower production during the first quarter of 2012, coupled with unusually high selling expenses, resulted in a 22% increase in net loss to $242,000 ($0.00 per share) compared to $199,000 ($0.00 per share) in 2011. During the first quarter EBITDA was $32,000, representing an increase of 33% over the same quarter of last year. -- As at March 31, 2012 the Company had total cash of $3.3 million and short term bank loans of $8.1 million. -- Symax has undertaken an expansion of its domestic Chinese business at Wanzhou which, upon completion, is expected to double the Company's production capacity by 2014. The Company has also undertaken an expansion of its service network in support of its geographic expansion. "With our Dingtai and new Green elevator products, Symax is establishing market position in the domestic Tier 3 and 4 cities and government housing marketplace," stated Ms. Sabrina Zhang, CEO of Symax. "Continued investments in our sales and service network together with the expansion at Wanzhou will enable the Company to continue to expand and service our growing customer base in China." With the launch of the Green product line, the company experienced an increase in exports during the quarter to 20% compared with 12% in the same period of 2011. This higher level of exports contributed to higher margins during the quarter.
