Tongjitang Chinese Medicines Company Announces First Quarter 2007 Financial Results SHENZHEN, China, May 03, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Tongjitang Chinese Medicines Company (NYSE: TCM), a leading specialty pharmaceutical company focusing on the development, manufacturing, marketing and selling of modernized traditional Chinese medicine in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007. Highlights for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2007 -- Revenue increased 37% year over year to RMB148.3 million ($19.2 million)(1), driven by the company's leading product, Xianling Gubao, which grew 76% year over year to RMB116.1 million ($15.0 million). -- Net revenue from core products excluding Xianling Gubao increased 446% year over year to RMB19.1 million ($2.5 million), reflecting effective marketing and promotions begun in the second half of 2006. -- Gross margin for the quarter was 66.3%, which is in line with management expectations and reflects continued stabilization in raw material costs. -- Net income increased 22% year over year to RMB47.3 million ($6.1 million). -- Net income per share(2) was RMB0.45 ($0.06) per share, up from RMB0.44 in prior year period and despite a 19% increase year over year in the weighted average number of shares used in this calculation. Xiaochun Wang, Tongjitang's chief executive officer and chairman of its board of directors, stated, "The first quarter of 2007 marks a historic period for our Company. We successfully completed our initial public offering and achieved compelling top and bottom line financial results in what is seasonally a challenging quarter. We continued to penetrate and optimize our existing points of sale throughout China, increasing our presence in the larger, more established Tier III hospitals and in our network of over 34,000 pharmacies. Our raw material costs remained stable and our gross margin was solid at 66.3%, which was as expected and in line with several previous quarters. We are very pleased with our first quarter financial performance and look forward to the exciting growth opportunities in the year ahead." Mr. Wang continued, "While government price reductions put pressure on the Chinese pharmaceutical industry over the past year, we are pleased to say that the impact on our business has been limited thus far. While we have no control over these pricing regulations by the PRC government, we continue to focus on consistently producing the highest quality modernized traditional Chinese medicine products and improving our sales volume throughout our distribution network. We believe these initiatives will drive value for our shareholders in 2007 and beyond." Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2007 Net revenues for the first quarter were RMB148.3 million ($19.2 million), up 37% from RMB108.2 million in the first quarter of 2006. Net revenues from the company's flagship product, Xianling Gubao, were RMB116.1 million ($15.0 million), representing a 76% increase from the first quarter of 2006. Net revenues from core products excluding Xianling Gubao increased significantly. Sales of Zaoren Anshen Capsules increased 268% to RMB 7.0 million ($0.9 million) and sales of Moisturizing and Anti-itching Capsules increased 271% to RMB5.2 million ($0.7 million), year over year. Additionally, the Company's active promotion of Dianbaizhu Syrup to medical doctors and hospital administrators in the fourth quarter 2006 drove net revenues in the first quarter of 2007 to RMB6.9 million ($0.9 million), surpassing its 2006 full year net revenues of RMB5.7 million. Gross profit increased 20% to RMB98.3 million ($12.7 million), representing a gross margin of 66.3%, in the first quarter of 2007 compared to RMB81.8 million and 75.6% in the first quarter of 2006, respectively, and compared to RMB101.1 million and 66.6% in the fourth quarter of 2006, respectively. Tongjitang's cost of revenues largely reflects the cost of barrenwort, which is the main ingredient in the Company's leading product, Xianling Gubao. The Company's gross margin of 66.3% in the first quarter of 2007 was in line with sequential results and with management's expectations, and reflects stabilization in the cost of barrenwort, which the Company continues to help offset with advancement in extraction techniques and in-house cultivation. In the first quarter of 2006, abnormally high levels of barrenwort extraction significantly drove down raw material costs. Operating income increased 26% to RMB46.4 million ($6.0 million) from RMB36.9 million in the first quarter of 2006. Operating expenses increased 15% on an absolute basis to RMB 52.2 million ($6.8 million) in the first quarter of 2007 from RMB45.2 million in the first quarter of 2006, but decreased to 35% of revenue in the first quarter of 2007 from 42% of revenue in the first quarter of the prior year. Operating expenses primarily reflect increases in general and administrative expenses, due to payments made in conjunction with or arising from the Company's initial public offering, increases in selling and marketing expenses, including higher payroll and headcount costs concurrent with the growth of the Company, and increases in research and development expenditure, which is consistent with the Company's plan to make investments through the year in this area. Net income increased 22% to RMB47.3 million ($6.1 million), or RMB0.45 per share, in the first quarter of 2007 from RMB38.7 million, or RMB0.44 per share, respectively, in the first quarter of 2006. The Company's weighted average number of shares increased 19% to 104.4 million shares in the first quarter of 2007 from 88.1 million shares in the first quarter of the previous year. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalent of RMB814.0 million ($105.4 million), compared to RMB231.0 million as of December 31, 2006. This increase is primarily due to proceeds of approximately US$77.7 million received by the Company from its initial public offering (before deducting IPO expenses) in the first quarter of 2007. Tongjitang had working capital of approximately RMB1.0 billion ($131.9 million) as of March 31, 2007. Capital expenditures for the quarter were RMB5.5 million ($0.7 million). Business Highlights -- Phase IV clinical trial of Xianling Gubao's prevention of ischemic bone necrosis commenced at seven major medical centers in China with an enrollment of approximately 480 patients. -- Designs for the Company's new research and development centre were completed in April 2007. This new R&D centre will be built according to GLP standard in China. Completion is currently expected in the first half of 2008. -- The Company expects to recognize an incremental RMB6.4 million ($0.8 million) from a government grant through 2007 and 2008. In April 2007, Tongjitang's operating subsidiary, Guizhou Tongjitang Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., received notice from the local government authority that it would receive the above mentioned grant in installments, which are expected to begin in May 2007 and finish by year end 2008. The Company believes that these installments will contribute approximately RMB6.4 million ($0.8 million) to net income through the full years 2007 and 2008. Financial Outlook The Company expects the following for the full year 2007: -- revenue in the range of RMB590 million to RMB620 million; -- and gross margins sustainable at levels in the mid-60%. These forecasts reflect the Company's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.
