Bodisen Biotech, Inc. (AMEX: BBC) (AIM: BODI)
(website: www.bodisen.com) the first China-based environmentally friendly
bio fertilizer company listed on a US stock exchange, and dually listed in
London, today announced that it achieved record revenue and earnings growth
from the production and sale of organic fertilizer and pesticide products
during the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.
The following are some of the financial highlights for the second quarter
from the company's Form 10-Q filed with the SEC:
SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL & OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
-- Revenues grew 95% to $16.4 million from $8.4 million in the same
period of 2005.
-- Gross profit increased to $6.4 million from $3.3 million in the same
period last year.
-- Net Income grew 118% to $5.9 million from $2.7 million in the same
period of 2005.
-- Net income margin of approximately 36% due to strong sales in high
margin liquid fertilizers.
-- Fully diluted EPS increased to $0.32 from $0.17 in the same period
last year.
Mr. Bo Chen, President of Bodisen, commented: "We experienced another
record quarter of revenues and earnings growth during the second quarter of
2006. Our results for the second quarter and for the first half of 2006
reflect strong demand for our environmentally friendly, high yield organic
fertilizer solutions and the growing awareness of the Bodisen brand among
China's farmers. Our earnings per share of $0.32 again exceeded analyst
estimates of $0.25 for the quarter. Our third quarter has historically been
the strongest quarter and we look forward to a great year of record growth
in 2006."
REVENUES
Bodisen achieved record revenues of $16,382,189 for the second quarter of
2006, up 95% from the prior year period when the company reported revenues
of $8,416,805. The growth in revenue was primarily attributable to the
increase in the customer base as the company continued to aggressively
market their products and the growing awareness in the agricultural
industry in the markets in which they do business of the efficacy of their
products.
GROSS PROFIT
Bodisen achieved a gross profit of $6,411,936 for the second quarter of
2006, up 97% from the prior year period gross profit of $3,255,664. Gross
margin increased to 39.1% in the second quarter of 2006 from 38.7% in the
same year ago period. The increase in gross margin was primarily
attributable to the increase in the prices of main products.
NET INCOME
Bodisen achieved net income of $5,879,678 or fully diluted EPS of $0.32 in
the second quarter of 2006 compared to net income of $2,692,014 or fully
diluted EPS of $0.17 in the same quarter last year. The increase was
attributed to a successful targeted marketing campaign to further saturate
its existing markets and to also further penetrate new markets and regions
throughout China.
POSITIVE OUTLOOK
Mr. Bo Chen, Bodisen's President, commented: "The market opportunity in
China for environmentally friendly fertilizer products remains largely
untapped and Bodisen is well-positioned to benefit from China's rising
standards of living and end user consumers' demand for natural and
organically grown foods and produce. With solid visibility, we are on track
to reach our projections for 2006 and 2007. As Chinese farmers continue to
shift from chemical fertilizers to our environmentally friendly, higher
crop yield bio compound fertilizers, Bodisen will continue to reap the
benefits as a leading premium organic fertilizer brand throughout China."
