For Q2 2011, China Carbon reported fully diluted earnings per share of $0.04 on 23.19 million shares.
"We further ramped-up our higher margin business this past quarter," said Donghai Yu, Chief Executive Officer of China Carbon. "Notably, we were able to sustain growth in the percentage of sales of our higher margin products made from fine grain and high purity graphite products. This strategy together with our effort in price and profit control allowed us to increase our gross profit rate during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period last year."
Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Revenue
China Carbon had sales of $11.88 million in Q2 2012 compared to sales of $12.14 million in Q2 2011, a decrease of $0.27 million or 2.2%. This decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease of $424,116 in the sales of the Company's low-end graphite electrodes products during Q2 2012, which is a reflection of the Company's decision to continue focusing on the manufacturing and selling of its higher margin products.
China Carbon's Q2 2012 sales included $1.50 million in graphite electrodes, $5.31 million in fine grain graphite, and $5.07 million in high purity graphite. In Q2 2011, the Company's sales included $1.92 million in graphite electrodes, $5.28 million in fine grain graphite, and $4.94 million in high purity graphite.
When further comparing Q2 2011 with Q2 2012, the average unit-selling price of China Carbon's products increased 6%, which was offset by the 10% decrease in tonnage sold for the period. During this period, the average unit-selling price of its high purity graphite products, in particular, increased 8%, which is a reflection of an increase in the cost for raw materials for such products. This increase in the average unit-selling price of high purity graphite products was offset by the 7% decrease in tonnage sold for the period as a result of less orders from certain customers due to price increases and a slight dip in the Chinese construction industry. The main reason for the Company's lower sales was due to the average unit-selling price of graphite electrodes products decreased 14%, combined with a 12% decrease in tonnage sold, from Q2 2011 to Q2 2012. The decrease in the average unit selling price and tonnage sold of graphite electrodes products is mainly due to decreased demand on the lower end products.
Cost of Sales & Gross Margin
China Carbon's cost of goods sold consists of the cost of raw materials, utilities, labor, and depreciation expenses in its manufacturing facilities. The Company's cost of goods sold was $8.99 million in Q2 2012 compared to cost of goods sold of $9.46 million in Q2 2011, a decrease of $0.47 million or 4.99%. This decrease was directly associated with the decrease in China Carbon's sales.
China Carbon's gross margin however increased from 22.1% for Q2 2011 to 24.4% for Q2 2012. This increase reflects the variance in China Carbon's product mix, which is attributable to an increase of percentage in the Company's sales of fine grain graphite and high purity graphite products, which are higher margin products compared to graphite electrodes and other products.
Net Income
As a result of the factors described above, China Carbon's net income was $0.87 million in Q2 2012 as compared to $0.88 million in Q2 2011, a decrease of $0.01 million.
Business Outlook
"As we continue to refine our strategy of focusing on our higher margin products made from fine grain and high purity graphite, we will see improved financial results in upcoming quarters," remarked Mr. Yu. "This strategy enables us to maintain profitability while also exploring the significant potential market for these products. High purity and fine grain graphite products have numerous applications in fast developing fields like the nuclear, solar and defense industries, and we are working hard to be in a better position to meet any potential rises in demand for these products, including getting our new facility that will specialize in the manufacture of fine grain and high purity graphite products, plus double our annual production capacity to 60,000 tons, completely up and running."
