BEIJING, March 31, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Andatee China Marine Fuel Services Corporation (Nasdaq:AMCF), a leading independent operator engaged in the production, storage, distribution, trading of blended marine fuel oil for cargo and fishing vessels in China, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013.
Fiscal Year 2013 Financial Highlights
-
Total sales in 2013 increased by 19.42% to $273.3 million from $228.8 million in 2012
-
Gross profit in 2013 increased by 12.8% to $16.1 million from $14.3 million in 2012. Gross margin remained virtually unchanged at 5.9% and 6.2% in 2013 and 2012, respectively
-
Income from operations in 2013 was $6.55 million as compared to $7.28 million in 2012
-
Net loss was $1.01 million mainly due to a goodwill impairment of $1.2 million, as compared to net profit of $1.64 million in 2012
Mr. Wang Hao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Andatee China Marine Fuel Services Corporation, commented, "In fiscal year 2013, despite the weakness in global economy, we were able to accomplish a nearly 20% top line growth in the marine fuel supplying market by expanding our distribution network, increasing our share of retail sales and adding more products offerings. The Company continues to maintain its position as a leading marine fuel supplier along the coast of East China. Our net loss was mainly the result of increased general and administrative expense, goodwill impairment loss and increased income tax expense, among which the goodwill impairment accounted for $1,234,709."
"Going forward, we expect to grow our business for higher revenue growth as well as higher profitability. In the meantime, we intend to begin implementing various cost control measures in our existing business lines with the aim of improving our margins and achieving profitability in 2014 and beyond."
