DGAP-News: Greater China Precision Components Ltd. / Key word(s): Half Year Results 09.09.2014 / 12:20 --------------------------------------------------------------------- GCPC Greater China Precision Components Ltd. 2014 First Half Year Financial Results: - Revenue RMB 374.4 Mio. (EUR 44.6 Mio.) - Net profit RMB 14.5 Mio. (EUR 1.73 Mio.) GCPC / 2014 First Half Year Financial Results SINGAPORE/HUIZHOU, 9 September, 2014: GCPC (ISIN SG9999005052 / WKN A0MZS3 / Ticker 49G) publishes first half year report of 2014 and outlook for 2014. GCPC achieved sales revenue of 374.4 Mio in 1H14(1H13: RMB 252.0 Mio). The increase was mainly attributed to the increase in orders from customers of both mobile handset and tablet casings segments. Gross profit and gross profit margin were RMB 68.7 Mio. (1H13: RMB 48.6 Mio.) and 18.3% (1H13: 19.2%)respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin was mainly attributed to the increase in revenue from mobile handset segment which has lower profit margin. Net profit was RMB 14.5 Mio (1H13: RMB 8.3 Mio.). The increase in net profit was mainly due to higher revenue, even with lower gross profit margin and higher operating cost especially labor related expenses. GCPC recorded an interim EPS of RMB 0.56(1H13: RMB 0.32). Update of the acquisition of gold mine Pursuant to GCPC's previous announcement on 29 April 2014, the investment structure of the acquisition of Yuanfa Mining Co. Limited (YMCL) had been completed in May, 2014. Accordingly, the financial results of YMCL will be consolidated for the financial year ending FY2014. For the purpose of 1H14, there was no consolidation in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. However, the Board would like to update shareholders that the exploration of the mine is still on-going and the results of the progress will be updated once it is available via the company website(www.greater-cpc.com). Outlook GCPC expects increasing competition in the industry will continue to put pressure on the gross profit margin. In addition, the cessation of the previous practice of telecommunication service providers of giving subsidies to subscribers for their purchase of the mobile phone handsets, coupled with the market transition of the high-end products from plastic casings to metal casings will continue to pose challenges to the demand for our products. In view of the above industry changes, GCPC needs to explore product differentiation and re-alignment to remain competitive. As such, whilst the performance of GCPC in 1H14 was better than 1H13, the outlook for the full year performance remain challenging. Reminder GCPC had been approved for the termination of inclusion of Entry Standard Market of Frankfurt Stock Exchange by Deutsche Börse AG on 8 August, 2014. The inclusion of the shares will end on 30 September, 2014. For more information, please refer to our announcements dated 09 August, 2014 and 14 August, 2014.
