L&L Energy Announces Fiscal First Quarter FY2014 Financial Results

SEATTLE, Sept. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- L & L Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: LLEN) ("L&L" or "Company"), a U.S.-based company engaged in producing, processing and selling coal in China, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2014, ended July 31, 2013.

First Quarter Continuing Operations Highlights

  • Coal production up 54% y/y to 228,000 tons
  • Revenue up 29% y/y to $51.2 million from 39.4 million
  • Gross profit up 92.5% y/y to $19.1 million from 9.9 million
  • Net income attributable to L&L shareholders up 133% y/y to $10.7 million from 4.6 million
  • Diluted earnings per share up 108% y/y to $0.27 from $0.13.

"The first quarter of fiscal 2014 was one of progress and growth for L&L," stated Clayton Fong, Vice President of US Operations for L&L Energy.  "Coal production increased significantly, revenue grew impressively, and we improved profitability as we rework our mix of business toward more profitable segments.  Our balance sheet remains strong.  We will further enhance our ability to fund growth with our upcoming Taiwan Depository Receipt listing.  We believe we are poised for meaningful success in the quarters ahead."

First Quarter 2014 Continuing Operations Results

This press release makes comparisons to only the continuing operations of L&L in previous quarters.  The company believes this presentation aids in comparing and understanding its results.  When the LuoZhou and LaShu coal mines were acquired in November 2012, they were paid for in part by transferring ownership interests in the Company's ZoneLin Coking plant and DaPing Mine.  Financial contributions from those operations are classified as discontinued operations, and all comparisons to fiscal first quarter 2013 exclude those contributions.

Revenue was $51.2 million in the first quarter, an increase of 29% from $39.4 million in the same quarter last year.

Coal Mining net revenuewas $25.0 million in the first quarter, an increase of 118% from $11.5 million in the same quarter last year.  Coal production for the quarter was 228,000 tons, an increase of 54% from 148,510 tons in the same quarter last year.  The increase in production volume was primarily due to the acquisitions of the LaShu and LuoZhou mines in November of 2012, and our continued ramp of operations at the Weishe mine.

Coal Wholesale revenue was $13.0 million in the first quarter, an increase of 5% from $12.3 million in the same quarter last year.  The increase was primarily due to expanding market share, and increases in long-term sales contracts to large customers and state-owned enterprises.

Coal Washing revenue was $13.2 million in the first quarter, a decrease of 26% from $17.8 million in the same quarter last year.  The decrease in coal washing revenue was due principally to the idling of the Hong Xing washing plant late in the quarter. Management is currently evaluating the Hong Xing facility.

Gross Profit was $19.1 million in the first quarter, an increase of 92% from $9.9 million in the same quarter last year.  Gross margin was 37.2% in the first quarter, compared with 25.1% in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to the shift in revenue mix to more mining and away from washing, which is a lower margin business.

Total Operating expenses were $4.4 million in the first quarter, compared with $3.6 million in the same quarter last year.  Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue in the first quarter was 8.6%, compared with 9.2% in the same quarter last year.

Net income was $13.4 million in the first quarter, a 123% increase from $6.0 million in the same quarter last year.

Diluted per share earnings attributable to L&L common shareholders was $0.27 in the first quarter, an increase of 108% from $0.13 in the same quarter last year.  The Company's fully diluted shares outstanding were 40.1 million.
