South San Francisco, CA and Shanghai, China -- Nov 18, 2008 -- Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc., a U.S.-based solar module technology and China manufacturing company specializing in products for customers in the industries of solar energy, aerospace, wireless telecommunications, medical equipment and automotive industries, today announced record revenue and net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008. A conference call is scheduled for Tuesday, November 18, 2008 at 4:05 p.m. Eastern time (1:05 p.m. Pacific time). Details of the call follow below.
Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2008
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $19.1 million, an increase of $16.1 million or 546%, compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Revenue increased due to an increase in orders in the energy division of approximately $15.8 million for solar modules and an increase of approximately $300,000 in the die cast factory as a result of an order from Shanghai GM. Shanghai GM is one of the largest vehicle manufacturers in China and GM is the seventh Fortune 500 customer obtained by Worldwide Energy.
Gross profit totaled $1.4 million for the period ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 41%, compared to $971,000 for the period ended September 30, 2007. Cost of goods sold for the third quarter of 2008 was $17.7 million compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily the result of greater revenues in the energy division.
Gross margin was 7.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 32.8% for the same period in 2007. The decline was the result of the Company utilizing outside services for the production of solar modules along with softness in the price of solar modules. Gross margins are expected to improve as the Company continues its transition to becoming a direct manufacturer of its solar module products as the newly established factory becomes operational. Further, the outlook for solar modules margins looks to improve as raw materials necessary for production of modules are expected to decline.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $541,000 or $0.17 per share, an increase of 327% compared to $127,000 or $0.6 per share.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $31.3 million compared to $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of 283%. Orders from the energy division increased during this period by $21.6 million and represented 69% of sales. Sales generated from Shanghai GM totaled $1.5 million during this period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 gross profit totaled $3.9 million, an increase of 46%, compared to gross profit of $2.6 million in the same period in 2007. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $27.5 million compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2007. Gross margin was 12.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 32% in the same period in 2007.
For the nine-month period in 2008 net income increased 164% to $1.2 million, or $0.48 per share, compared to $454,000, or $0.22 per share, for the nine-month period in 2007.
