Recent Business Highlights
- The Company added two new LHD units in northern China in November 2010, bringing the total number of LHD units in operation to 10
- The Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") of 19,736,842 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") on November 3, 2010, raising US$124.8 million in net proceeds to the Company; pre-IPO share count was 50,000,000 ADSs; post-IPO was 65,789,474 ADSs
- The Company signed two contracts for LHD services during fiscal year 2010 and had signed four letters of intent ("LOI") as of November 2010
"We are pleased to report strong results for fiscal year 2010, driven by solid demand from China's oil producers for our EOR technologies and an increase in our equipment installations in China," commented Mr. Guoqiang Xin, chief executive officer of SinoTech.
SinoTech's exclusive rights to use LHD technology in China, as well as its PRC patent for molecular deposition film ("MDF") technology, position it well in China's fast growing EOR market. The Company's EOR technologies, which combine high productivity and low marginal cost per barrel of oil, offer clear advantages to oil producers in China.
"The success of our projects in the Daqing oilfield and Liaoning coalfield has served to demonstrate the advantages of our LHD technology," said Mr. Xin. "Building on this, as well as our deep industry knowledge, a reliable supply and exclusive rights to use LHD equipment in China, and a strong contract pipeline, we look forward to delivering solid results in the coming quarters."
According to analysis by Douglas-Westwood, an independent provider of business research and analysis on the global energy services sector, China currently has over 120,000 mature wells that would benefit from SinoTech's LHD technology, and over 200,000 mature wells on which its MDF solution can be applied. The Chinese government is also encouraging the adoption of EOR technologies to ensure that current output levels from existing mature oil wells can be maintained or increased.
SinoTech's recent IPO will help to ensure adequate capital and enable the Company to continue to purchase new equipment and service new contracts with new and existing customers, removing a major bottleneck to further growth.
Mr. Boxun Zhang, chief financial officer of SinoTech, noted, "With a healthy pipeline of contracts and equipment on order, we have strong visibility for the year ahead. We have entered into contracts and LOIs to cover all our existing LHD equipment and we intend to continue to increase our LHD fleet size to meet solid demand for our LHD services. In November, we added two LHD units to bring the total number to 10 units, and we expect to have 16 units by the end of fiscal year 2011 and 20 by the end of March 2012. In addition, as chemical solutions gain broader market acceptance among oil producers in China, we expect to see exciting developments in our MDF business line as well."
Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2010
Total sales were US$19.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, an increase of 102.7% from US$9.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, and a 113.4% increase on the corresponding period in 2009, primarily due to additional sales contributions from new LHD units added in the third and fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 as well as increased consulting service revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Cost of sales was US$4.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, a 64.2% increase from US$2.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, and a 19.1% increase from US$3.3 million in the corresponding period in 2009. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to incremental operation costs and depreciation from newly added LHD units in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Gross profit was US$15.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, an increase of 115.3% from US$7.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, and an increase of 165.9% from US$6.0 million in the corresponding period in 2009. Gross margin was 80.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared with 75.3% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, and 64.2% in the corresponding period in 2009. Improvement in margins was primarily due to the high margin contribution from consulting service revenue and improved margin of LHD business in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.

| Total | 19,820,023 | 80.0% | 9,778,036 | 75.3% |
Expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 were US$2.8 million compared to US$2.7 million in the previous quarter and US$1.8 million in the corresponding period in 2009. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increased amortization expense of intangible assets and travel expenses related to business expansion.
Adjusted operating income (Non-GAAP)(1) increased 140.9% to US$14.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to US$6.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, and US$5.6 million in the corresponding period in 2009. The increase was in line with the Company's fast growing sales and effective expenses control.
Other income and expenses mainly consist of changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and effective interest on bank loans (amortization of debt discount), both of which were non-cash expense items of US$16.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. The Company repaid its long-term debt in November 2010 and all the warrant holders converted their warrants into common shares at the time of IPO. The Company expects to recognize one-time charges on debt extinguishment and warrant conversion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The remaining impact will be minimal going forward.
Adjusted net income (Non-GAAP)(1) in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 was US$11.4 million, representing a 135.7% increase from US$4.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Net loss was US$6.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)(1) was US$15.8 million, representing sequential growth of 144.6% or an increase of 170.7% from the corresponding period in 2009.
As of September 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of US$43.8 million. Accounts receivable was US$20.1 million as of September 30, 2010, compared to US$8.6 million as of September 30, 2009.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, capital expenditures totaled US$7.5 million, primarily related to the purchase of new LHD equipment.
Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2010
Total sales were US$45.3 million in fiscal year 2010, representing an increase of 18.6% from US$38.2 million in fiscal year 2009, as a result of additional sales contributions from new LHD equipment as well as an increase in consulting service revenues.
Cost of sales was US$10.4 million in fiscal year 2010, compared to US$13.8 million in fiscal year 2009. The decrease was mainly due to the reduced direct cost for MDF as a result of carving out the low-value-added service elements to third parties in fiscal year 2010.
Gross profit was US$34.9 million in fiscal year 2010, an increase of 43.2% compared to US$24.4 million in fiscal year 2009. Gross profit margin was 77.1% in fiscal year 2010, compared to 63.8% in fiscal year 2009. The improvement in margins was mainly due to the new arrangements for the Company's MDF business and a high margin contribution from consulting service revenue in fiscal year 2010.
Expenses were US$10.8 million in fiscal year 2010, compared to US$5.9 million in fiscal year 2009. The increase was primarily due to the increased amortization of intangible assets as well as consulting and professional fees.
Adjusted operating income (Non-GAAP)(1) was US$30.4 million in fiscal year 2010, an increase of 34.3% compared to US$22.6 million in fiscal year 2009.
Operating income was US$24.1 million in fiscal year 2010, an increase of 29.9%, compared to US$18.5 million in fiscal year 2009.
Adjusted net income (Non-GAAP)(1) was US$23.8 million in fiscal year 2010, an increase of 27.4% compared to US$18.6 million in fiscal year 2009.
Net loss was US$13.7 million in fiscal year 2010, compared to net income of US$14.5 million in fiscal year 2009.
In fiscal year 2010, capital expenditures, which were primarily related to the purchase of LHD equipment, totaled US$46.9 million. Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled US$7.8 million.
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)(1) was US$31.9 million in fiscal year 2010, representing a 35.7% increase from US$23.5 million in fiscal year 2009.
Outlook for Fiscal Year 2011
For fiscal year 2011, based on current operating and business conditions, SinoTech currently expects its total sales to be in an estimated range of US$90 million to US$95 million, representing a 98.6% to 109.7% increase from fiscal year 2010. The Company intends to add six LHD units in fiscal year 2011, bringing the total number of operational LHD units to 16 by the fiscal year end of 2011. Total capital expenditures related to the procurement of new equipment to be added in fiscal year 2011 and prepayment for additional LHD units to be delivered in 2012 is expected to be in the range of US$70 million to US$80 million.
This forecast reflects SinoTech's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.
2010 Results Preliminary and Unaudited
The results presented in this press release are preliminary and unaudited. The Company is in the process of completing its 2010 audit, and adjustments to the results set forth in this press release may be identified as a result of this process. The Company's 2010 audited financial statements will be included in its 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement SinoTech's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, SinoTech uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: adjusted net income (Non-GAAP), adjusted operating income (Non-GAAP) and adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP).
Adjusted operating income (Non-GAAP) refers to operating income before amortization of intangible assets.
Adjusted net income (Non-GAAP) refers to net income before amortization of intangible assets, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and effective interest on bank loans (amortization of discount).
Adjusted EBITDA refers to earnings before current income tax expenses, deferred income tax expenses (benefits), interest income, effective interest on bank loans (amortization of discount), bank loan interest, depreciation of equipment, amortization of intangible assets and other adjustments. Other adjustments comprise of write down in value of equipment, gain on disposal of equipment, foreign exchange gain and changes in fair value of warrant liabilities.
Adjusted net income (Non-GAAP), adjusted operating income (Non-GAAP) and adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) for prior periods have been reclassified so that the presentations are consistent. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
SinoTech believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and are often used as supplemental financial measures by management and by investors, research analysts and others, to assess the Company's intrinsic operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the industry, without regard to financing or capital structure. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. A limitation of using adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is that this non-GAAP measure fails to account for tax, interest income, bank loan interest and other non-operating cash expenses. The use of adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) has certain limitations because it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company's operations. Items excluded from adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company's operating and financial performance. Depreciation, amortization, income taxes expenses, bank loan interest and interest income as well as changes in fair value of warrant liabilities have been and may continue to be incurred in the Company's business and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP). Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of the Company's results. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) does not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of the Company's liquidity. Management compensates for these limitations by reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
