On
22 March, 2016, Northeast Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. (Northeast
Pharmaceutical) released its 2015 financial report, showing that it suffered a
serious loss last year.
-
Revenue:
USD586,439,096.28 (RMB3,834,432,031) , down by 11.51% YoY
-
Net
loss: USD58,783,786.69 (RMB384,357,789.29), a huge decline from the net
profit of USD13,317,277.09 (RMB87,075,016.25) in 2014
Northeast Pharmaceutical attributed the loss to the increasing fixed cost from
factory relocation, the continuous decrease in the price of vitamin C (VC), and
the increasing cost of labor, etc.
In 2015, the price of VC, one of the major products of Northeast
Pharmaceutical, was in downturn. Besides VC, the prices of VC derivatives of
the company also dropped YoY, leading to a reduction in net profit. The report
showed that the gross profit margin from sales of APIs dropped by 15 percentage
points.
In Feb. 2016, the company revealed that the sales price of VC was still very
low. It seems that, Northeast Pharmaceutical, a giant player in the domestic VC
industry, still suffered huge operation pressure.
The company's 2015 cash flow generated from operating activities was USD15.25
million (RMB99.70 million), a deep gap between net profit. This was mainly
attributed to the company's huge expenses of USD68,570,023.71 (RMB448,345,100)
on the following three aspects:
-
Impairment
of assets: USD12,609,849.35 (RMB82,449,500)
-
Depreciation
of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets: USD32,580,071.88
(RMB213,024,800)
-
Financial
expenses: USD23,380,102.47 (RMB152,870,800)
