China Customer Relations Centers, Inc. Announces Full Year 2015 Financial Results

TAI'AN, China, April 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- China Customer Relations Centers, Inc. (NASDAQ: CCRC) ("CCRC" or the "Company"), a leading call center business process outsourcing ("BPO") service provider in China, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2015.

2015 Year-to-Date Financial Highlights (all comparisons to prior year unless noted)

  • Revenues increased by 39.1% to $59.4 million driven by increased sales to existing clients and sales to new clients.
  • Gross margin expanded by 3.5% to 21.0% while operating margin increased by 4.8% to 8.8%, due to improved operating efficiency and the non-renewal of less profitable customer contracts.
  • Net income increased by 167.9% to $4.8 million. Earnings per share increased by 172.7% to $0.30.
  • The provincial subsidiaries of China Mobile and China Telecom remained our largest clients, contributing $26.7 million (45% of total revenues) and $11.0 million (19% of total revenues) to revenues, respectively, in 2015.

Mr. Gary Wang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CCRC, commented, "We are very pleased to report strong financial results for the year of 2015 with revenues growing by 39.1% to $59.4 million and net income by 167.9% to $4.8 million, respectively, both were record highs since our inception."

Mr. Wang continued, "While 2015 was clearly a banner year for CCRC, we expect the momentum to continue as our relationships with existing key clients continue to expand and believe that we will continue to attract new clients due to our increasing public and financial profile following our recent IPO. We believe the Chinese BPO market remains in the early stages of development and is highly fragmented compared to other developed countries, offering plenty of opportunities for us to continue to grow at a healthy rate through organic growth and selective acquisitions. We are excited about our trajectory and look forward to our future."

Revenues

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, revenues increased by $16.7 million, or 39.1%, to $59.4 million from $42.7 million for the same period last year. This increase was mainly driven by the growth of our BPO business with increased sales to our existing BPO clients and sales to new BPO clients. The provincial subsidiaries of China Mobile and China Telecom remained our largest clients, contributing $26.7 million and $11.0 million in revenues, respectively, in 2015. We added several new BPO clients in 2015, including, Qunar (an online travel company), DIDI (a mobile taxi-calling company), Jiedaibao (an online lending platform) a subsidiary of Alibaba and S.F. Express.

Gross profit and gross margin

Cost of revenues consists primarily of salaries, payroll taxes and employee benefits costs of our customer service associates and other operations personnel. Cost of revenues also includes direct communications costs, rent expense, information technology costs, and facilities support. Cost of revenues increased by $11.7 million, or 33.3%, to $46.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 from $35.2 million for the same period last year. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues was 79.0% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, compared to 82.5% for the same period last year.

Gross profit increased by $5.0 million, or 66.5%, to $12.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 from $7.5 million for the same period last year. Gross margin increased by 3.5% to 21.0% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 from 17.5% for the same period last year. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to improvement in overall operating efficiency and the termination of certain less profitable business.

Operating income and operating margin

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 25.4%, to $7.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 from $5.8 million for the same period last year. We anticipate that our administrative expenses, particularly those related to support personnel costs, professional fees, as well as Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, will continue to increase in 2016 due to becoming a publically traded company.

Income from operations increased by $3.5 million, or 205.5%, to $5.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 from $1.7 million for the same period last year. Operating margin was 8.8% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, compared to 4.0% for the same period last year. The increase in operating income and operating margin was mainly driven by an increase in revenues as a result of expansion of our BPO business and improvement in gross margin as a result of improvement in overall operating efficiency.

Government Grants

We received government grants, which are discretionary and unpredictable in nature, of $1.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 28.6%, from $1.4 million for the same period last year. Government grants as a percentage of net income were 21.5% and 80.8% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $1.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $0.7 million, or 100.6%, from $0.6 million for the same period last year. We were entitled to a preferential enterprise income tax ("EIT") rate of 15% in 2014 and 2015. The standard enterprise income tax rate in China is 25%.

Net Income

Net income increased by $3.0 million, or 167.9%, to $4.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 from $1.8 million for the same period last year. Earnings per basic and diluted share was $0.30 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $0.11 for the same period last year.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $1.3 million for the same period last year.
