SISHUI CITY, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2017 / China YCT International Group, Inc. (OTCQB: CYIG) ("China YCT" or the "Company"), a diversified company that engages in the business of developing, manufacturing, and selling medicine, developing acer truncatum bunge planting bases and manufacturing and selling the seed oil, and distributing healthcare supplement products manufactured by a third party, today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017.

  • Total revenues increased by 19.6% year-over-year to $13.87 million with growth in sales of both healthcare products and Huoliyuan capsules for the three months ended September 30, 2017, despite a decrease in sales of acertruncatumbunge seed oil as a result of a temporary production suspension for approximately two-months during the quarter.
  • Overall gross margin was 36.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 39.5% for the same period of the last fiscal year. The decrease in overall gross margin was mainly related to Huoliyuan capsules as a result of increased raw material and manufacturing costs.

Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, total revenues increased by $2.27 million, or 19.6%, to $13.87 million from $11.59 million for the same period of the last fiscal year. The increase in total revenues was related to the increase in sales of healthcare products and Huoliyuan capsules and partially offset by a decrease in sales of acer truncatum bunge seed oil.

Revenues from healthcare products increased by $1.28 million, or 30.3%, to $5.52 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $4.24 million for the same period of the last fiscal year. The increase in sales of healthcare products was primarily due to the growth of our customer base as well as the contribution from internet direct-sales. We sell healthcare products manufactured by Shandong Yongchuntang Group Co., Ltd. ("Shandong Yongchuntang"), a related party, which owns the remaining 3% equity interest in our operating subsidiary, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Shandong Spring").

Revenues from Huoliyuan capsules increased by $1.34 million, or 24.3%, to $6.86 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $5.52 million for the same period of the last fiscal year.

Revenues from acer truncatum bunge seed oil decreased by $0.35 million, or 19.1%, to $1.49 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.84 million for the same period of the last fiscal year. The decrease in sales of acer truncatum bunge seed oil was primarily due to temporary suspension of production for system maintenance and adjustment for an approximately two-month period during the quarter. Since July 2015, the Company has produced and sold acer truncatum bunge seed oil extracted from the acer truncatum pods that were purchased from third party vendors. Our self-grown acer truncatum pods will not be ready to be used for production until approximately the fall of 2018.

The sales of healthcare products, Huoliyuan capsules and acer truncatum bunge seed oil accounted for 39.8%, 49.4% and 10.8%, respectively, of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 36.5%, 47.6%, and 15.9%, respectively, for same period of the last fiscal year.

The following table summarizes the breakdown of revenues and gross profit by products for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively:
