(NASDAQ: RCON), ("Recon" or the "Company"), a leading independent oilfield services provider operating primarily in China, today reported that in its fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Company was able to record the following results:

    --  Revenues grew 22% to $15,181,815 from $12,442,444* in FY 2013 as sales
        of oilfield hardware products to non-related parties more than doubled
    --  Adjusted net income attributable to Recon (non- U.S. GAAP)** grew 170%
        to approximately $831,550 from $307,440 in FY 2013
    --  Adjusted EBIDTA (non- U.S. GAAP) increased 88% year over year to
        $1,435,679, from $763,800*

* Based on the exchange rate of RMB6.1552 to US$1.00.

** Non- U.S. GAAP measures are explained in tables 3 and 4 below. Non -U.S. GAAP adjusted net income and EPS exclude certain special non-cash after tax expenses totaling $ 700,419 ($0.16 per share) that are included in net income

Other FY 2014 Highlights

    --  Hardware and Software sales to non-related parties grew 108.2% year over
        year, offsetting a decline in revenues related to fracturing
    --  Gross margins increased year-over-year from 32.7% to 34.7%, in part
        reflecting the decline in lower margin fracturing related sales
    --  Operating income increased from a loss in FY2013 of $91,751 to income of
        $459,813
    --  Current assets as of June 30, 2014, including approximately $2.94
        million in cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $25.1 million.
    --  The Company reported no long term debt and total current liabilities of
        approximately $8.18 million as of June 30, 2014
    --  Working capital as of June 30, 2014 was approximately $13.5 million
    --  There were approximately 4.4 million weighted average outstanding
        ordinary shares, on a fully diluted basis, as of June 30, 2014, up from
        approximately 4.0 million as of June 30, FY 2013, in part reflecting a
        registered direct offering in November 2013 of 546,500 ordinary shares
        and warrants to initially purchase an aggregate of 163,950 ordinary
        shares.  This offering generated net proceeds of approximately $2.0
        million.

Continuing Strong Outlook

Commenting on results, Mr. Shenping Yin, Chairman and CEO of Recon stated, "FY 2014 delivered a number of favorable highlights on both the top and bottom line despite reduced drilling activity and fallout from burgeoning reforms of China's oil industry. Our strong hardware sales, reflecting growing acceptance by customers of our deep understanding of their needs and the excellent technology and know-how we can provide to improve their production efficiency, safety and profits, was certainly a key highlight as was the swing into the black of results from operations. While we didn't generate significant revenues from our fracturing services this past year, we are optimistic we will see these grow in the future based on our ongoing fracturing projects, which are located at not only Zhongyuan Oilfield, but also Northeast Oilfield and Sichuan Province."

Promising Year Again For Furnaces and Burners

"As new wells are developed," Mr. Yin continued, "we believe we will see continued strong growth this year in sales of our burners and furnaces. Another promising growth area is in down-hole tools, and we now have good experience with this technology and have seen strong opportunities. We also see a continuing focus on developing new sources of energy in China. Natural gas obtained through fracturing will certainly be part of this trend and as I've noted, we anticipate a pick up in our activity in the fracturing business in FY 2014."

"Not least of all," Mr. Yin added, "we are cognizant of the need to further improve our profits and believe that further integration into our offerings of our higher margin services will be one key to accomplishing this, as well as growing our business to include some down-hole services to add to the up-ground business we have concentrated on to date."

Growth in Automation Products

Mr. Yin continued, "In FY 2014, we see particularly good continuing demand for 'Digital Oil Field' automation products and services, further enhanced by our recent appointment as an authorized third party system integrator for world renowned automation leader ABB. While I believe this partnership, as well as our partnerships with global oil servicing leaders such as Baker Hughes, Emerson and others reflects well on our abilities, more importantly, it inspires further confidence in our customers and helps to expand the range of products and services we are able to customize for the unique needs of the oil and gas fields in China."

Growth Goals: Organic Growth Plus Acquisitions

"In recent weeks," Mr. Yin said, "we have focused on developing growth goals to guide the efforts of our still young Company that we believe is entering a new stage of development. Our major focus going forward will continue to be on the organic development of our business, built on strong technology, our very well developed solid relationships with China's large oil companies, and our focus on building our business in China's most challenging oil fields away from large potential competitors. However, we believe we can supplement this growth with carefully chosen acquisitions and joint ventures, and have put a greater effort into accomplishing this."

Double Our Revenues Over Next 2 to 3 Years

"Looking ahead," Mr. Yin said, "we believe that an achievable goal for Recon is annual average revenue growth of a minimum of 20%. We further believe that if we couple this with appropriate acquisitions, we can aim to double our revenues over the next two to three fiscal years."

Mr. Yin concluded, "While pursuing these goals, we will keep in mind the best interests of our shareholders, who we know would also like to see a growing bottom line as we grow our revenues, and also don't want us to stray from our areas of expertise. We think we have a very exciting future ahead and look forward to continuing to inform shareholders of our progress."

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for income tax expense, interest expense, loss from investment, non-cash stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization. We think it is useful to an equity investor in evaluating our operating performance because: (1) it is widely used by investors in our industry to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired; and (2) it helps investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure and asset base from our operating results.

Special items are certain non-cash expenses that are included in our U.S. GAAP reported results. There was no income tax benefit associated with the special items. The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of Recon's current financial performance. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace the presentation of the Company's financial results in accordance with GAAP. Use of the terms non-GAAP adjusted EPS may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. All of the non-GAAP measures discussed above are reconciled from their respective GAAP measures in the "Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Earnings Per Share to Non U.S. GAAP Adjusted Earnings Per Share - diluted" table set forth above. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for income tax expense, interest expense, loss from investment, non-cash stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization. We define non GAAP EPS as adjusted net income divided by the total outstanding shares, on a fully-diluted basis. We define non-GAAP EPS as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted average outstanding shares, on a fully-diluted basis.

Recon Technology Reports Strong Gains in FY 2014 and Announces Growth Goals

FY 2014 Results Were Boosted By Sharp Increases in Oilfield Automation and Furnaces Revenues, Improved Gross Margins, and an Operating Profit Versus Operating Loss in the Prior Year

PR Newswire

BEIJING, Sept. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Recon Technology, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RCON), ("Recon" or the "Company"), a leading independent oilfield services provider operating primarily in China, today reported that in its fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Company was able to record the following results:

  • Revenues grew 22% to $15,181,815 from $12,442,444* in FY 2013 as sales of oilfield hardware products to non-related parties more than doubled
  • Adjusted net income attributable to Recon (non- U.S. GAAP)** grew 170% to approximately $831,550 from $307,440 in FY 2013
  • Adjusted EBIDTA (non- U.S. GAAP) increased 88% year over year to $1,435,679, from $763,800*
  • Net income attributable to Recon (U.S. GAAP) rose to approximately $131,140 from approximately $6,450* in the prior year
  • Diluted EPS (U.S. GAAP) rose 1,400% to $0.03 from EPS of $0.002 in FY 2013
  • Adjusted diluted EPS** (non- U.S. GAAP) rose 137% to $0.19 compared with $0.08 a year earlier

* Based on the exchange rate of RMB6.1552 to US$1.00.

** Non- U.S. GAAP measures are explained in tables 3 and 4 below.  Non -U.S. GAAP adjusted net income and EPS exclude certain special non-cash after tax expenses totaling $ 700,419 ($0.16 per share) that are included in net income

Other FY 2014 Highlights

  • Hardware and Software sales to non-related parties grew 108.2% year over year, offsetting a decline in revenues related to fracturing
  • Gross margins increased year-over-year from 32.7% to 34.7%, in part reflecting the decline in lower margin fracturing related sales
  • Operating income increased from a loss in FY2013 of $91,751 to income of $459,813
  • Current assets as of June 30, 2014, including approximately $2.94 million in cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $25.1 million.
  • The Company reported no long term debt and total current liabilities of approximately $8.18 million as of June 30, 2014
  • Working capital as of June 30, 2014 was approximately $13.5 million
  • There were approximately 4.4 million weighted average outstanding ordinary shares, on a fully diluted basis, as of June 30, 2014, up from approximately 4.0 million as of June 30, FY 2013, in part reflecting a registered direct offering in November 2013 of 546,500 ordinary shares and warrants to initially purchase an aggregate of 163,950 ordinary shares.  This offering generated net proceeds of approximately $2.0 million.

Continuing Strong Outlook

Commenting on results, Mr. Shenping Yin, Chairman and CEO of Recon stated, "FY 2014 delivered a number of favorable highlights on both the top and bottom line despite reduced drilling activity and fallout from burgeoning reforms of China's oil industry.  Our strong hardware sales, reflecting growing acceptance by customers of our deep understanding of their needs and the excellent technology and know-how we can provide to improve their production efficiency, safety and profits, was certainly a key highlight as was the swing into the black of results from operations.  While we didn't generate significant revenues from our fracturing services this past year, we are optimistic we will see these grow in the future based on our ongoing fracturing projects, which are located at not only Zhongyuan Oilfield, but also Northeast Oilfield and Sichuan Province."

Promising Year Again For Furnaces and Burners

"As new wells are developed," Mr. Yin continued, "we believe we will see continued strong growth this year in sales of our burners and furnaces.  Another promising growth area is in down-hole tools, and we now have good experience with this technology and have seen strong opportunities.  We also see a continuing focus on developing new sources of energy in China.  Natural gas obtained through fracturing will certainly be part of this trend and as I've noted, we anticipate a pick up in our activity in the fracturing business in FY 2014."

"Not least of all," Mr. Yin added, "we are cognizant of the need to further improve our profits and believe that further integration into our offerings of our higher margin services will be one key to accomplishing this, as well as growing our business to include some down-hole services to add to the up-ground business we have concentrated on to date."

Growth in Automation Products

Mr. Yin continued, "In FY 2014, we see particularly good continuing demand for 'Digital Oil Field' automation products and services, further enhanced by our recent appointment as an authorized third party system integrator for world renowned automation leader ABB. While I believe this partnership, as well as our partnerships with global oil servicing leaders such as Baker Hughes, Emerson and others reflects well on our abilities, more importantly, it inspires further confidence in our customers and helps to expand the range of products and services we are able to customize for the unique needs of the oil and gas fields in China."

Growth Goals: Organic Growth Plus Acquisitions

"In recent weeks," Mr. Yin said, "we have focused on developing growth goals to guide the efforts of our still young Company that we believe is entering a new stage of development.  Our major focus going forward will continue to be on the organic development of our business, built on strong technology, our very well developed solid relationships with China's large oil companies, and our focus on building our business in China's most challenging oil fields away from large potential competitors.  However, we believe we can supplement this growth with carefully chosen acquisitions and joint ventures, and have put a greater effort into accomplishing this."

Double Our Revenues Over Next 2 to 3 Years

"Looking ahead," Mr. Yin said, "we believe that an achievable goal for Recon is annual average revenue growth of a minimum of 20%.  We further believe that if we couple this with appropriate acquisitions, we can aim to double our revenues over the next two to three fiscal years."

Mr. Yin concluded, "While pursuing these goals, we will keep in mind the best interests of our shareholders, who we know would also like to see a growing bottom line as we grow our revenues, and also don't want us to stray from our areas of expertise.  We think we have a very exciting future ahead and look forward to continuing to inform shareholders of our progress."

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for income tax expense, interest expense, loss from investment, non-cash stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization. We think it is useful to an equity investor in evaluating our operating performance because: (1) it is widely used by investors in our industry to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired; and (2) it helps investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure and asset base from our operating results.
