- Average residential selling price ("ASP") in the third quarter of 2013 was RMB 6,369, compared with RMB 7,499 in the second quarter of 2013, and RMB 6,359 in the third quarter of 2012.
- Gross profit decreased to $4.9 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $17.6 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2012. Third quarter 2013 gross margin was 19.8%, compared with 30.4% in the second quarter of 2013 and 22.5% in the third quarter of 2012.
- SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 15.2%, from 8.5% in the second quarter of 2013 and 12.9% in the third quarter of 2012.
- Operating loss was $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to operating income of $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2013, and operating income of $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2012.
- Net loss attributable to the Company in the third quarter of 2013 was $0.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013 and $1.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012.
Mr. Pingji Lu, China Housing's Chairman, commented, "We experienced a challenging period as our current saleable project inventory did not fully match consumer demand in the third quarter. We encountered higher levels of interest for low and high end apartment units this quarter whereas more of our saleable units were in the mid-tier category. Given the government's efforts over the last year to reduce pricing speculation in Xi'an's real estate market, consumers looking to upgrade to mid-level units were not as active this quarter as they were in past quarters. At our Puhua and Park Plaza projects, the limited amount of our entry-level unit inventory sold well during the quarter, however more of our remaining inventory is intended for customers looking to upgrade to larger, more expensive mid-level units. At the high end, of which sales remain steady, our Golden Bay project was delayed to the second quarter of 2014 due to government delays issuing the required permits to commence pre-sales activity."
"As we move forward, we are comfortable we'll have the appropriate levels of inventory to march customer demand. We are preparing to develop more low-end units early next year through our Puhua Phase 4 project. Our unit sales at the high end will benefit from our Golden Bay development once all permits are secured and pre-sales begins early next year. Consequently, we expect our performance in the fourth quarter to mirror that of the third, and that our sales trends in 2014 can grow once again as our development projects offer a broader array of low, mid and high-end units that can more adequately meet customer demand."
Total revenue in the third quarter of 2013 decreased 57.1% to $24.8 million from $57.8 million in the second quarter of 2013 and decreased 13.6% from $28.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. Other revenue in the third quarter of 2013 decreased to $3.8 million from $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2012. The year-over-year decrease was due to the Company's available unit inventory not fully matching the customer demand and the market condition.
In the third quarter of 2013, the majority of the Company's real estate revenue came from its Puhua Phase Two and Three projects, Park Plaza and Ankang projects. Third quarter 2013 contract sales totaled $18.6 million compared with $59.0 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $12.8 million in the third quarter of 2012. Total gross floor area ("GFA") sales were 17,847 sq. meters during the third quarter of 2013, compared with 48,439 sq. meters in the second quarter of 2013 and 12,773 sq. meters in the third quarter of 2012. The Company's ASP in the third quarter of 2013 was RMB 6,369, compared with RMB 7,499 in the second quarter of 2013, and RMB 6,359 in the third quarter of 2012.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $4.9 million, representing a decrease of 72.2% from $17.6 million in the second quarter of 2013 and a 24.6% decrease from $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2012. Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was 19.8%, compared to 30.4% in the second quarter of 2013 and the 22.5% in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in gross profit margin was mainly due to that We made some adjustment on the total estimate cost of Park Plaza, Puhua Phase Two and Three according to the actual situation and recorded the accumulated impact in the third quarter of 2013.We still expect full year gross margin to be in the 25% to 30% range in 2013.
SG&A expense was $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared with $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. SG&A expense as a percentage of total revenue was 15.2%, compared with 8.5% in the second quarter of 2013 and 12.9% in the third quarter of 2012. The year-over-year increase in SG&A expense was mainly due to the increase of salary of salary.
Operating loss in the third quarter of 2013 was $0.7 million compared to operating income of $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2013, and $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2012. The year-over-year decrease in operating income was mainly due to reduced sales revenue and lower profit margin.
Net loss attributable to China Housing in the third quarter of 2013 was $0.8 million, or a loss of $0.02 per diluted share. This performance compares with net income of $5.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013 and net income of $1.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012.
