Hollysys Automation Technologies Reports Unaudited Financial Results for the First Half Year and the Second Quarter Ended December 31, 2015


BEIJING, Feb. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Hollysys Automation Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: HOLI) ("Hollysys" or the "Company"), a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fiscal year 2016 second quarter ended on December 31, 2015 (see attached tables). The management of Hollysys, stated:

"During this quarter, industrial automation business has being affected by weak external environment, with particular impacts on process control sector that we have not seen the recovery sign from the market. However, despite of challenging conditions, our strategy of developing after sales and services is proven successful which continuously taking larger percentage of our revenue. Besides, giving the new construction projects in the near future would be lack of sustainable, we have already focused on reconstruction or upgrading opportunities as supplement through sign maintenance and service contracts to lock potential customers, helping them to improve efficiency and saving the costs. Breaking down in industries, power is maintaining stable, we have taken several numbers of high level generator units, and signed large contract such as Jiujiang Shenhua 2X1052MW power units which are the highest level units in coal-fire power industry. While petro-chemical is still weak, the same as metallurgy and building materials. Overall speaking, we have to say that external environment brings large impact to our industrial automation business, but we will adjust ourselves through better internal management and control such as to insist keeping gross margin for long-term health development within industrial automation to better cope with this situation and try our best to gradually recover the business.

In high-speed railway, we signed a large contract to provide Automatic Train Protection (ATP) equipment and system to China Railways Corporation. We are quite confident of the steady high-speed rail revenue and backlog performance. As China is continuously investing a certain scale on supporting high-speed railway sector for the next five years, we will still benefit from the policy of 13th five-year-plan. Furthermore, we are also working to expand our rail new products & technologies such as track circuit which would make potential revenue contribution in the near future.

For subway business, we have signed quite a few SCADA contracts in the recent quarters and seeking opportunities to work with more local transportation bureaus. We will continue to deliver quality works and work closely with subway authorities in the future to build up our SCADA and subway signaling businesses both in China and abroad.

In the mechanical and electrical solution segment, seasonal lumpiness affected sector's performance in the short term. However, we are unshakable to penetrate Southeast Asia and Middle East markets and make progress on delayed projects. We also actively communicate with local customers to discuss new project opportunities and even seek business partners for further cooperation.

At last, for extending international business, we have recruited local engineers to support our overseas team. With our proprietary technologies and products, industry expertise and customer resources, we will continue to make exciting development and achievements in both industrial and rail transportation fields, and create value for our shareholders."

Non-GAAP Measures

In evaluating our results, the non-GAAP measures of "Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses", "Non-GAAP net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd. stockholders", "Non-GAAP basic earnings per share", and "Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share" serve as additional indicators of our operating performance and not as a replacement for other measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as they exclude the non-cash share-based compensation expenses, which is calculated based on the number of shares or options granted and the fair value as of the grant date, amortization of acquired intangible assets, fair value adjustments of acquisition-related consideration, and fair value adjustments of a bifurcated derivative. They will not result in any cash inflows or outflows. We believe that using non-GAAP measures help our shareholders to have a better understanding of our operating results and growth prospects. In addition, given the business nature of the Company, it has been a common practice for investors to use such non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company.

The following table provides a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures for the periods indicated:
