AOXIN TIANLI GROUP INC AoxinTianli Group, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2017 Financial Results
WUHAN CITY, China, May 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AoxinTianli Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABAC) ('AoxinTianli' or the 'Company'), a producer of breeder hogs, market hogs and black hogs, as well as specialty processed black hog pork products sold through retail outlets and the internet, with headquarters in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, today announced its financial results for the first quarterended March 31, 2017.
Mr. Wocheng Liu, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of AoxinTianli, commented, 'While our retail business continued to grow benefitting from strong orders from a new online e-commerce customer, our hog farming business declined in the first quarter as a result of decreases in both the number of hogs sold and the average selling price per hog. The decrease in the number of hogs sold was mainly related to our black hog program in Enshi Prefecture where severe floods in July 2016 caused significant damages to our independently operated black hog farms and limited the number of black market hogs available for sale in the first quarter. Additionally, we saw downward trend for hog prices that started in the fourth quarter of 2016 and continued into this year. We believe this was related to the fact that a number of large state owned enterprises and publicly traded companies entered into the hog farming industry. This, combined with the uptick in feed cost in recent months, would continued to put pressure on existing hog farmers, particularly smaller players, in our view.'
First Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Revenues for the first quarter of 2017 decreased by $2.38 million, or 26.3%, to $6.68 million from $9.06 million for the same period of last year. Thedecrease in revenues reflected the impact from the ongoing weak demand for regular breeder hogs, lower prices for regular hogs and black hogs, and fewer black hogs available for sale after the July 2016 flood damage.
Revenues from hog farming, which includes sales of regular breeder hogs, regular market hogs, and black hogs, decreased by $2.67 million, or 30.9%, to $5.97 million for the first quarter of 2017 from $8.64 million for the same period of last year. The Company sold a total of 30,217 regular breeder hogs, regular market hogs and black hogs with a blended average selling price of $198 per hog during the first quarter of 2017, compared to 35,112 hogs sold and a blended average selling price of $246 per hog for the same period of last year.
Revenues for the first quarter of 2017 from regular breeder hog sales decreased by 36.4% to $0.70 million with the number of regular breeder hogs sold decreasing by 34.6% to 2,837 hogs and the average selling price of regular breeder hogs decreasing by 2.7% to $245 per hog. Revenues for the first quarter of 2017 from regular market hog sales decreased by 18.3% to $2.85 million as the number of regular market hogs sold increased by 5.4% to 16,792 hogs while the average selling price of regular market hogs decreased by 22.5% to $169 per hog. Revenues for the first quarter of 2017 from black market hogs decreased by 40.1% to $2.43 million with the number of black hogs sold decreasing by 28.7% to 10,588 hogs and the average selling price of black hogs decreasing by 16.1% to $230 per hog.
We sold 136,682kilograms of specialty black hog pork products through retail at approximately $5 per kilogram, generating revenues of $0.71 million for the first quarter of 2017. This compares to 87,384 kilograms sold at approximately $5 per kilogram and revenues of $0.42 million for the same period of last year.The increase in our specialty black hog pork products was mainly related to a new online e-commerce customer. These revenues, combined with the sales of black market hogs, led to $3.14 million in revenues from our black hog program for the first quarter of 2017, compared to $4.48 million for the same period of last year.
The results of operations of Hang-ao and its wholly owned subsidiaries, were reclassified as discontinued operations in the Company's financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 based on the Company's decision to focus on the hog industry. Hang-ao was sold on December 23, 2016.
