BEIJING, Nov, 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

  • 2016 Third Quarter Contract Sales Up 69.6% YoY to US$525.4 Million
  • 2016 Third Quarter Net Income Up 23.3% YoY to US$28.0 Million

Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. ("Xinyuan" or the "Company") (NYSE: XIN), an NYSE-listed real estate developer and property manager primarily in China and in other countries, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Third Quarter 2016 Highlights

  • Total third quarter revenue increased 43.8% to US$444.3 million from US$309.0 million in the third quarter of 2015 and increased 18.0% from US$376.6 million in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Contract sales increased 69.6% to US$525.4 million from US$309.7 million in the third quarter of 2015 and increased 10.8% from US$474.4 million in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Total gross floor area ("GFA") sales increased 46.0% to 340,700 square meters from 233,300 square meters sold in the third quarter of 2015 and decreased 1.1% from 344,600 square meters sold in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percent of total revenue decreased to 12.1% from 15.8% in the third quarter of 2015 and increased from 10.9% in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Net income was US$28.0 million, compared to US$22.7 million in the third quarter of 2015 and US$27.8 million in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Diluted net earnings per American Depositary Share ("ADS") attributable to shareholders were US$0.41, compared to US$0.31 in the third quarter of 2015 and US$0.39 in the second quarter of 2016.

Mr. Yong Zhang, Xinyuan's Chairman, stated, "We are pleased to report another quarter of solid operational and financial results with significant growth in both contract sales and revenue. Overall project sales remained active in the third quarter aided by steady market demand resulting in GFA and ASP growth at the majority of our projects. We were also pleased to complete our debt refinancing through a series of activities that extended the maturity of our long-term debt, lowered financing costs and hedged our exposure to currency risk.

Among our U.S. projects, our Oosten project in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is performing well with approximately 76% of the total units at this project pre-sold as of September 30, 2016. As construction at Oosten nears successful completion, we expect to begin construction on the other two projects in Manhattan and Queens respectively in the quarters ahead. Among our projects in China, we were pleased to expand our presence in the provincial capital cities of Zhengzhou and Changsha. Given the convenient location and attractive land price paid for these two projects, we can establish average selling prices at levels that can provide highly attractive returns on investment for Xinyuan.

In early October, the local governments in about 20 cities announced housing purchase restriction policies to cool a market with escalating prices. These policies will negatively impact our financial results in the fourth quarter. While we remain cautious about recent policy changes, our financial position is solid and we have confidence in our prudent operational strategy. Finally, we remain committed to delivering value to our shareholders through the continuation of our quarterly cash dividend program and remain committed to our share repurchase program," concluded Mr. Zhang.

Real Estate Project Update in the U.S.

Xinyuan delivered nine apartment units at its Oosten project resulting in $34.5 million in revenue at the end of the third quarter.

As of the end of the third quarter, the Company had pre-sold approximately 76% of the total units at its Brooklyn-based Oosten project and had begun the closing and delivery process for the presold units. The local market demand and price trend remained healthy in the third quarter.

Xinyuan's second New York project, announced in January 2016, and located in midtown Manhattan, has completed its design work. The Company is in the selection process for the general contractor and the sales listing agency, and expects to begin demolition and foundation work before the end of the year. The superior location and design of this project have attracted high interest from a number of major national retail chains, including potential large tenants, with whom the Company is in ongoing negotiations.

In August 2016, Xinyuan announced a new land acquisition in Flushing, Queens, New York City. Xinyuan expects to begin construction on this property in the first half of 2017.

Business Outlook



For the full year 2016, the Company expects full year contract sales to grow 20%-25% and net income to grow 20%-25% in RMB terms compared to 2015. Factoring in the foreign currency exchange impact, the Company expects full year contract sales to grow 12%-17% and net income to grow 12%-17% in USD terms compared to 2015.
