HANZHONG, China, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- China HGS Real Estate Inc. (NASDAQ: HGSH) ("China HGS" or the "Company"), a leading regional real estate developer headquartered in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, China, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 ended March 31, 2015 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. An electronic copy of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q can be accessed on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Highlights for the Quarter

  • Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 were approximately $23.6 million, a decrease of 53% from approximately $49.9 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2014. Total revenues recognized from percentage of completion method were approximately $20.9 million, which accounted for 88.6% of total revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The year-over-year decrease of revenue was primarily due to limited inventory on completed projects.
  • Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 totaled approximately $9.3 million, a decrease of approximately $4.2 million from the net income of approximately $13.4 million in the same period of last year. The decreased net income in this quarter compared to the same quarter of last year was primarily due to less contracted sales achieved in the current quarter.
  • For the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company achieved a positive operating cash flow of approximately $4.5 million, compared to negative operating cash flow of approximately $18.8 million in the same period of last year.
  • Basic and diluted net earnings per share ("EPS") attributable to shareholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 were $0.21, decreased by 31% from $0.30 for the same quarter of last year.

"The Company had a positive operating cash flow during the six months ended March 31, 2015" said Mr. Xiaojun Zhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China HGS. "Additionally, the Company achieved higher gross margin compared to the same period of last year. In the second half of fiscal 2015, we expect that the completion of several real estate projects currently under development will increase our contracted sales. Meanwhile, we will focus on increasing our marketing efforts to sell our completed real estate properties. Given recent more relaxed central government policy on the real estate industry to bolster economic growth in China to a targeted rate, we are positive about the outlook for the local real estate market in a long term," concluded Mr. Xiaojun Zhu.
