SINGAPORE,, March 31, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
China Yuchai International Limited (NYSE: CYD) ("China Yuchai" or the "Company"), the leading automotive manufacturer and distributor of diesel engines in China, announced today its unaudited consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter of 2010 and full year ended December 31, 2010. The financial information presented herein for FY 2010 and FY 2009 is reported using International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Financial Highlights for fourth quarter 2010:
- Net revenue was RMB 4.0 billion (US$ 606.5 million) compared with RMB 3.2 billion (US$ 490.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009;
- Gross profit increased to RMB 1.3 billion (US$ 200.7 million) from RMB 781.2 million (US$ 118.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009;
- Operating margin increased to 20.3% from 10.9% in the fourth quarter of 2009;
- Total net profit attributable to China Yuchai's shareholders was RMB 461.7 million (US$ 69.7 million), or earnings per share of RMB 12.39(US$ 1.87), compared with RMB 195.6 million (US$ 29.5 million), or earnings per share of RMB 5.25(US$ 0.79) in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased 23.6% to RMB 4.0 billion (US$ 606.5 million) from RMB 3.2 billion (US$ 490.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009. The total number of diesel engines sold by the Company's main operating subsidiary, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited ("GYMCL"), during the fourth quarter of 2010 was 115,460 units compared with 101,363 units in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in unit sales volume and net revenue were mainly due to the ongoing product mix shift and higher demand for heavy-duty engines.
Gross profit increased 70.1% to RMB 1.3 billion (US$ 200.7 million) from RMB 781.2 million (US$ 118.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009. The gross margin was 33.1% in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared with 24.0% for the fourth quarter of 2009. In the fourth quarter of 2010, the higher gross margin was mainly attributable to a combination of increased sales of more profitable heavy-duty engines and the reversal of inventory reserves due to the consumption and sale of parts that were previously provided.
Other income was RMB 44.2 million (US$ 6.7 million) compared to RMB 57.6 million (US$ 8.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009. The fourth quarter of 2009 included non-recurring income of RMB 23.6 million (US$ 3.6 million) relating to forgiveness of debt under a creditors' liquidation agreement by a subsidiary of HL Global Enterprises Limited.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses were RMB 78.2million (US$ 11.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2010 versus RMB 92.0million (US$ 13.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009, a 15.0% decline due mainly to lower consultancy fees and capitalization of qualifying R&D costs amounting to RMB 13.4 million (US$ 2.0 million). As a percentage of net revenue, R&D spending was 1.9% of net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared with 2.8% in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Selling, general& administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2010 were RMB 480.9million (US$ 72.6 million), a 22.8% rise from the RMB 391.6million (US$ 59.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009 due mainly to higher business volumes and related expenses. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general& administrative expenses were 12.0% in the fourth quarter of 2010, approximately the same percentage as for the same quarter in 2009.
Operating profit climbed 129.2% to RMB 814.1million (US$ 122.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2010 from RMB 355.1million (US$ 53.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase is mainly due to increased sales and higher gross profit. The operating margin increased to 20.3% in the fourth quarter of 2010 from 10.9% in the fourth quarter of 2009 mainly due to the improvement in gross margin.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, total net profit attributable to China Yuchai's shareholders increased 136.1% to RMB 461.7 million (US$ 69.7 million), or earnings per share of RMB 12.39(US$ 1.87), compared with RMB 195.6million (US$ 29.5 million), or earnings per share of RMB 5.25(US$ 0.79) in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Financial Highlights for 2010
- Net revenues grew 24.7% year-over-year to RMB 16.4 billion (US$2.5 billion);
- Gross profit rose 57.9% year-over-year to RMB 4.0 billion (US$ 606.9 million);
- Operating profit rose by 129.2% year-over-year to RMB 2.0 billion (US$ 295.7 million);
- Total net profit attributable to China Yuchai's shareholders in 2010 increased by 79.9% year-over-year to RMB 1.1 billion (US$ 170.6 million).
Net revenues for 2010 increased 24.7% to RMB 16.4 billion (US$ 2.5 billion) from RMB 13.2 billion (US$ 2.0 billion) in 2009. The total number of diesel engines sold by GYMCL for 2010 was 551,592, a 17.9% improvement compared with 467,899 units sold in 2009. The increase in net revenues was a result of greater unit volume, especially in the heavy-duty diesel engine sector.
Gross profit in 2010 rose 57.9% to RMB 4.0 billion (US$ 606.9 million) from RMB 2.6 billion (US$ 384.4 million) in 2009. The gross margin was 24.5% versus 19.3% in 2009. The increase in gross profit and gross margin was mainly due to the growth in the sales of more profitable, heavy-duty engines and the reversal of inventory reserves due to the consumption and sale of parts that were previously provided.
Other income increased by 33.8% to RMB 103.8 million (US$ 15.7 million) from RMB 77.6 million (US$11.7 million) due to exchange gains and higher interest income.
Research and development ("R&D") expenditures rose by 9.0% in 2010 to RMB 324.1 million (US$ 48.9 million) from RMB 297.3 million (US$ 44.9 million) in 2009. While the R&D expense rose in absolute terms, as a percentage of net revenues, it was 2.0% in 2010 compared with 2.3% in 2009 due to the faster growth in net revenues. This investment is mostly focused on developing low emission and higher fuel efficient engines to meet changing market demands and the Chinese government's environmental requirements.
Selling, general& administrative expenses ("SG&A") rose 25.1% in 2010 to RMB 1.8billion (US$ 277.9 million) compared with RMB 1.5billion (US$ 222.2 million) in 2009 due to higher business volumes and related expenses. SG&A expenses were 11.2% of net revenues for both 2010 and 2009.
Operating profit rose 129.2% in 2010 to RMB 2.0 billion (US$ 295.7 million) from RMB 854.3million (US$ 129.0 million) in 2009. The increase was mainly due to the growth in unit sales, net revenues and gross profit combined with more stringent expense-control measures. The operating profit margin grew to 11.9% in 2010 from 6.5% in 2009.
Finance costs in 2010 increased 68.3% to RMB 130.4million (US$ 19.7 million) from RMB 77.5million (US$ 11.7 million) in 2009. The higher interest expense was due to the raising of interest rates in China during the year which resulted in the increase in the cost of bills discounting and borrowings.
In 2009, the Company reported a one-time non-recurring gain of approximately RMB 203.0million (US$ 30.6 million) arising from GYMCL's acquisition of the 100% equity of Guangxi Yulin Hotel Company Ltd. ("Yulin Hotel Company") to resolve past loans by GYMCL worth an aggregate principal amount of RMB 205.0 million as previously disclosed.
Total net profit attributable to China Yuchai's shareholders in 2010 increased by 79.9% to RMB 1.1 billion (US$ 170.6 million) from RMB 628.3 million (US$ 94.9 million) in 2009. Earnings per share for 2010 increased to RMB 30.32(US$ 4.58) from RMB 16.86(US$ 2.55) in 2009. The increase in net income was mainly due to higher net revenues and unit sales, higher other income and stringent expense control.
As of December31, 2010, a total of 37,267,673 shares were issued and outstanding.
As at December 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalent was RMB 4.1 billion (US$ 613.2 million) compared with RMB 3.7 billion at the end of 2009. Trade and bills receivable was RMB 4.3 billion (US$ 648.4 million) compared with RMB 2.5 billion at the end of 2009. Net inventory was RMB 2.6 billion (US$ 394.5 million) compared with RMB 2.1 billion last year. Trade payables increased to RMB 5.8 billion (US$ 869.6 million) from RMB 4.7 billion at the end of 2009. Short-term and long-term borrowings decreased from RMB 1.1 billion at the end of 2009 to RMB 625.4 million (US$ 94.4 million) at the end of December 2010.
Mr.Boo Guan Saw, President of China Yuchai, commented, "The strong performance in the fourth quarter of 2010 is reflected in our financial results and the future of our strategic shift toward the more profitable, heavy-duty engine segment and the impact of our new manufacturing capabilities."
"We continue to expand our heavy-duty diesel engine capacity as we expect to double our existing 6L and 6M production lines in mid-2011 and our joint venture with CIMC-Chery Auto began production of our new, advanced YC6K engine in December 2010. This engine is more powerful than our current heavy-duty engines and it will open up new market segments for us in the near future. The macroeconomic environment remains positive although growth is expected to be more moderate. Infrastructure expansion will continue especially in central China, requiring diesel engines to power vehicles for the movement of products by trucks and people by buses in urban areas."
"Our high-quality products, innovative new engines developed by our leading research and development programs, and excellent customer service provide a competitive advantage that will strengthen our leadership position in the large Chinese automotive market," Mr. Saw concluded.
