Bohai Pharmaceuticals Group, Inc. Third Quarter Income Up 24% To $3.9 Million

BEIJING, CHINA--(Marketwired - May 15, 2014) -

Bohai Pharmaceuticals Group, Inc. (OTC Pink: BOPH) (PINKSHEETS: BOPH), a leading manufacturer and marketer of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), today announced that for the third fiscal quarter of 2014 ended March 31, the company had net revenues of $39,722,126, a 14 percent improvement on net revenues of $34,786,624 in the third fiscal quarter of 2013. The company had net income in Q3 2014 of $3,928,011, or $.22 per basic common share and $.19 per diluted common share, a 24 percent improvement on net income of $3,159,206, or $.18 per basic common share and $.15 per diluted common share, in the comparable year-ago quarter.

For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, Bohai had net revenues of $129,284,445, a 16 percent gain on net revenues of $111,067,950 for the same period in fiscal 2013. Bohai’s net income in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was $18,024,773, or $1.01 per basic common share and $.85 per diluted common share, a 22 percent gain on net income of $14,813,455, or $.83 per basic common share and $.71 per diluted common share, in the same period last year.

The increase in Bohai’s third fiscal quarter net revenues compared to the same period a year ago was primarily due to an 11 percent increase in revenues contributed by the company’s three leading TCM products: Lung Nourishing Syrup, and Tongbi Capsules and Tongbi Tablets for treatment of arthritis, which together accounted for over 96 percent of the company’s net revenues in both the current fiscal year quarter and first nine-month period. The increase in the company’s net income was attributable mostly to an increase in total gross profit of $3,729,763, offset by an increase in operating expenses of $2,609,346 for this year compared to the same period a year ago.

Bohai’s improvement in fiscal 2014 nine-month net revenues was due primarily to a net increase in revenues of 18 percent from the above three products. The increase in the company’s net income during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the same period a year ago was attributable mostly to an increase in total gross profit of $14,435,545, offset by an increase in operating expenses of $8,495,777.

Bohai CEO, Mr. Hongwei Qu, said he believed the company’s operating performance would continue to show improvement in future quarters. First, he said, the company has two products -- Lung Nourishing Syrup and Fangfeng Tongsheng Granule (for treatment of a wide range of dermatologic conditions) -- on China’s Essential Drug List (EDL), giving Bohai exclusive or near-exclusive rights to manufacture and distribute these two medicines, both of which are eligible for up to 100 percent insurance reimbursement by the Chinese government. In addition, the company’s Tongbi Capsules has been included on the EDL for Shangdong and Hubei provinces, providing the company with further marketing advantages. Plus, said the CEO, all rural hospitals and clinics as well as all level 2 hospitals in China have been mandated to limit their prescriptions to EDL-listed products.

Looking forward, said Mr. Qu, the company is positioned to expand its total revenue from Tongbi Capsules and Tongbi Tablets from $65 million in 2013 to $85 million within the next three to five years.

The company’s Fangfeng Tongsheng Granule should also enjoy rapid growth, he added, supported by both its EDL status as well as the current 17 percent annual growth in China’s overall dermatology drug market.

Lastly, he said, due to the worsening air pollution conditions afflicting much of China, the company’s Lung Nourishing Syrup is expected to increase its annual revenue from $28 million in 2013 to $90 million within three to five years.
