• Revenue from crude corn oil decreased by 44.3% to RMB16.0 million ($2.3 million) in the first quarter of 2017, compared to RMB28.7 million in the first quarter of 2016. The sharp decrease in revenue was mainly due to the suspension of production of the crude corn oil at the Daqing facility during the first quarter, as the Company is currently in the process of renewing the facility's production authorization. Revenue from crude corn oil in the first quarter of 2017 only represented the sales made by the Shandong facility. The sales volume of crude corn oil in the first quarter of 2017 decreased by 42.7% year-over-year to 2,536 tons, and the average selling price decreased by 2.8% year-over-year to RMB6,300 per ton.

The sales volume of CPE in the first quarter of 2017 decreased by 22.2% year over year to 1,944 tons, and the average selling price decreased by 11.6% to RMB7,515 per ton. The sharp decrease in sales volume of CPE was mainly due to the temporary shutdown for maintenance and upgrades in February, and the production line was back into production in March 2017.

During the first quarter of 2017, gross profit increased by 52.4% to RMB90.7 million ($13.1 million) from RMB59.5 million in the same period of 2016. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2017 increased to 17.6%, from 12.2% in the same period of 2016, which was primarily attributable to the steeper decrease in average corn cost, compare with selling price of edible alcohol.

Operating income increased by 64.2% to RMB76.2 million ($11.0 million) in the first quarter of 2017, from RMB46.4 million in the same period of 2016, primarily attributable to higher gross profit earned.

Selling expenses decreased by RMB0.2 million, or 15.4% to RMB0.9 million ($0.1 million) in the first quarter of 2017, from RMB1.1 million in the same period of 2016.

General and administrative expenses increased by RMB1.6 million, or 13.3% to RMB13.6 million ($2.0 million) in the first quarter of 2017, from RMB12.0 million in the same period of 2016.

Income tax expenses in the first quarter of 2017 were RMB15.0 million ($2.2 million), representing an effective tax rate of 25.0%.

Net income increased by 77.9% to RMB44.9 million ($6.5 million) in the first quarter of 2017, compared to RMB25.3 million in the same quarter of 2016. In the first quarter of 2017, basic and diluted earnings per share and per ADS were RMB1.75 ($0.25), and the Company had 25.7 million weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding. 

As of March 31, 2017, cash and bank deposits of RMB956.7 million ($138.7 million) increased by RMB161.4 million, compared with RMB795.3 million as of December 31, 2016. Cash flows generated from operating activities for the first quarter of 2017 amounted to RMB23.9 million ($3.5 million), compared with RMB138.2 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in cash from generated from operations was mainly because the Company pre-purchased more corn during the quarter, which should be sufficient to meet the Company's production needs during the non-harvest season in 2017.

Financial Outlook

Reflecting the solid demand for edible alcohol and its by-products, the Company anticipates strong sales volume and high capacity utilization. However, as the price of edible alcohol and its by-products will likely decrease on a year-over-year basis due to lower corn cost. The Company estimates that its revenue for the second quarter of 2017 will be in the range of RMB535 million ($77.5 million) to RMB560 million ($81.2 million), an increase of approximately 0.9% to an increase of approximately 5.6% over the same quarter of 2016.

This guidance is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company's current and preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change.
