Fourth Quarter 2009 Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 increased 106.6% to a record of $41.2 million, compared to $20.0 million in the same period of 2008. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the increased sales volume driven by the strong demand for the Company's modified plastic products supported by continued growth in automotive production in China.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $9.7 million, up 185.5% from $3.4 million in the fourth quarter 2008. Gross margin was 23.6% compared to 17.1% in the same period a year ago and 23.3% in the third quarter of 2009. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was due to higher value product mix associated with an increase in products sold for the use in luxury vehicles in recent months.
Selling expenses for the fourth quarter of 2009 were $176,470, up 118.3% from $80,827 in the same period last year. As a percentage of revenue, selling expenses remained 0.4% of sales for the fourth quarter 2009 and 2008. General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $2.4 million, up 269.9% from $0.6 million for the same period of last year. The significant increase in G&A expenses was mainly attributed to stock-based compensation to employees and consultants. Research and Development ("R&D") expenses were $0.5 million, or 1.1% of total revenue, compared to $0.2 million, or 1.1% of total revenue, in the same period last year. The increase in research and development expenses was in proportion to the increase in total revenue and was associated with the Company's on-going efforts to launch new products.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $6.7 million, compared to an operating income of $2.5 million in the same period a year ago. Operating margin was 16.3% in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to 12.4% in the comparable period the year before.
Other expense in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $12.6 million, including $385,212 interest expense and a non-cash charge of $12.2 million to account for the change in the fair value of warrants and derivative liabilities in connection with the preferred stock issued in the private placement financing closed in December 2009. Other expense in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $0.2 million.
EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $9.0 million, a significant increase from $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. For a detailed reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP measure, to its nearest GAAP equivalent, please see the financial tables at the end of this release.
Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $5.9 million, compared to net income of $2.2 million for the same period a year ago.

Adjusted net income, excluding non-cash charges associated with stock based compensation and non-cash preferred dividend was $8.0 million, or $0.20 per basic and $0.18 per fully diluted share.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders is $9.9 million. Fully diluted loss per share attributable to common shareholders for the full year 2009 was $0.36. Adjusting for non-cash charges associated with stock-based compensation of $8.0 million, change in fair value of warrants and derivative liabilities embedded in the preferred stock of $12.2 million, and deemed preferred dividend of $13.9 million, adjusted net income was $24.2 million or $0.87 per basic share and $0.58 per fully diluted share.
Financial Condition
As of December 31, 2009, China XD plastics had $6.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, $30.8 million in working capital and a current ratio of 2.2. Shareholder's equity as of December 31, 2009 stood at $21.5 million compared to $24.1 million at the end of 2008.
Restatement of 2009 and 2008 Financials
The Company discovered a non-cash error regarding the accounting for recognition of stock options granted to Mr. Han during the routine course of its internal audit and review. The Options were granted to Mr. Han by Ellie Qiuyao Piao ("Ms. Piao"), the sole shareholder of XD Engineering Plastics Company Limited ("XD Engineering") which was the principal shareholder of our subsidiary Favor Sea Limited before the reverse merger pursuant to an option agreement dated May 16, 2008. The agreement provides that Mr. Han may purchase from Ms. Piao for a nominal price all of the outstanding equity (40,000 shares) in XD Engineering if, on a consolidated basis, the revenue of Favor Sea Limited ("FSL"), a subsidiary of the Company, which indirectly owns our operating subsidiaries Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Co., Ltd. and Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Research Institute, achieves certain revenue thresholds. Mr. Han may purchase 25% of the total outstanding equity in XD Engineering if FSL's revenue during the first three quarters of 2008 exceeds $40 million. He may purchase 14% of the total outstanding equity in XD Engineering if FSL's revenue during the first three quarters of 2009 exceeds $70 million. And he may purchase 61% of the total outstanding equity in XD Engineering if FSL's revenue during the first three quarters of 2010 exceeds $110 million. The purpose of the options is to enable Mr. Han to re-acquire ultimately the legal ownership of the Company in compliance with the laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China.
Therefore, based on the related guidance of ASC Topic 718, the Company believes such options should have been accounted for under the Company's financial statements as share-based payments awarded to an employee by a related party as compensation for services rendered. As a result of the restatement, our consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the second quarter of 2009 is expected to be reduced by a non-cash charge of approximately $5.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, accounted for the above mentioned option grant arrangement. The adjustment is to be recorded in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
The above-mentioned adjustments do not impact revenue recognition, cash balances, liquidity, or capital resources and do not impact operations.
Other Recent Events
On February 8, 2010, the Company announced selected estimated unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2009.
On February 25, 2010, China XD Plastics announced the total annual production capacity of modified plastics to increase 42.9% from 70,000 tons in 2009 to 100,000 tons. The additional 30,000 tons of annual production capacity is expected to start production at the beginning of the second quarter, 2010.
On March 4, 2010, China XD Plastics announced the signing of a one-year non-exclusive agreement with Ningbo Huading New Material Technology Company Limited ("NHNM") to distribute the Company's modified plastics for automotive applications in the Eastern Chinese Market, specifically in the area of Zhejiang Province.
Business Outlook and Guidance
The year 2009 was a key milestone for the automobile industry in China with total vehicle sales surpassing United States and Japan for the first time in history. Total vehicle sales reached 13.6 million units, representing 45% increase from 2008, with sales of passenger cars representing 10.3 million units or 76% of total.
The stimulus plan introduced by the government in China to support demand for automobiles has been extended into 2010 with minor changes. The government adjusted the reduction in sales tax on smaller passenger vehicles from 5% to 7.5% compared to the normal rate of 10%, while subsidies for farmers to purchase certain automobiles and motorcycles were maintained, and subsidies for upgrading commercial vehicles were increased. These favorable policies are expected to continue to support growth in demand for automobiles in the quarters ahead.
With the backdrop of a favorable macroeconomic environment, China XD Plastics expects to be able to capitalize on its recently announced capacity expansion to 100,000 tons per year, to continue to deliver rapid growth in revenue and profits.
The Company expects 2010 revenues to be in the range between $170 million to $200 million, and non-GAAP adjusted net income to be in the range between $27 million to $30 million, excluding any non-cash charge related to the change in fair value of the existing derivative liabilities and stock-based compensation.
"The long-term fundamentals of the automotive industry in China remain strong, driven by rising personal incomes, favorable government policies, and very low car-ownership level relative to the rest of the world. In addition, the competitive environment in our industry remains favorable due to high barriers to entry associated with costly OEM certification process," said Mr. Jie Han, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China XD Plastics. "As we look to the future, we continue to see significant opportunities to grow our top- and bottom-lines by leveraging our technology institute's ability to conduct breakthrough research to win additional product certifications, and gradually expand capacity to meet growing demand for our products."
