These statements relate to future events or the Company’s future financial performance. The Company has attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “can”, “continue”, “could”, “estimates”, “intends”, “may”, “plans”, “potential”, “predict”, “should” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

“Remarkable achievements were made during the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2010,” said Ms. Ting Zheng, China Cord Blood Corporation’s Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer. “Our listing on the New York Stock Exchange brought us to a new era of growth. During the period, not only did we accomplish a record number of new subscribers, as promised to the investment community, we acquired an equity interest in Jilu Stem Cells, the exclusive operator in the Shandong province. Including Shandong, we now own and partially own three of the six issued licenses in China, and we are the largest cord blood bank operator in China.   Beijing, Guangdong and Shandong together have a market size of 2.1 million new born babies per annum or approximately 13% of the total number of new borns in China.”

“On June 4, 2010, we agreed to underwrite the rights issue of Cordlife, the largest cord blood bank operator in Southeast Asia with direct presence in India and Indonesia. As the single largest shareholder in Cordlife, we seized this opportunity to raise our ownership in the company. While the transaction is still subject to relevant approvals, we believe Cordlifes current exposure in Southeast Asia region will add incredible strategic value. Together with Cordlife, we will be the largest global cord blood bank operator in terms of market size and presence. It is our goal to become the largest and most influential cord blood bank operator in China as well as in the Asia Pacific region.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2010 Financial Results

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 24.6% to RMB70.8 million ($10.4 million) from RMB56.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Processing fees, representing 78.3% of the total net revenue, increased 12.5% year-over-year to RMB55.5 million ($8.1 million) on the back of a 16.7% increase in new subscribers. Net revenue from storage fees increased 104% year-over-year to RMB15.3 million ($2.2 million) from RMB7.5 million. Total subscriber base as of March 31, 2010 reached 129,312 subscribers, up 53.8% year-over-year. With the increase in total subscriber base, storage fees represented a more material portion of the total revenue mix of 21.7% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to 13.2% of the total revenue mix for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, gross profit increased 28.4% to RMB55.7 million ($8.2 million) from RMB43.4 million in the prior year period, due primarily to rising new subscriber numbers. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 increased to 78.7% from 76.4% on the back of economy of scale and favorable change in revenue mix.

 
 

 

Research and development expense amounted to RMB5.8 million ($0.9 million) which consisted of research activities conducted to enhance operating efficiencies, collection and storage technologies, and measures to improve the results in umbilical cord blood stem cells extraction and separation.

Fourth quarter sales and marketing expense and administrative expense together amounted to RMB 25.0 million ($3.7 million) compared to RMB16.8 million for the same period last year. The overall increase was largely attributable to the increase in promotion activities and the scale of operation. The increase in administrative expense was largely attributable to the increase in overhead since our public listing, higher professional fees and the increase in depreciation expense following the establishment of the new Beijing facility in April 2009.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 was RMB24.9 million ($3.6 million) compared to RMB26.6 million for the same period last year.  Fourth quarter depreciation expense increased to RMB6.3 million ($0.9 million), up from RMB2.4 million last year. Non-GAAP EBITDA in the fourth quarter grew 7.4% to RMB31.4 million ($4.6 million).

Net income attributable to shareholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 reached to RMB16.1 million ($2.4 million) compared to RMB20.1 million for the prior year period. Net margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 was 22.8%.

Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 were RMB0.24 ($0.04) and RMB0.23 ($0.03), respectively. Non-GAAP EPS for the fourth quarter is no longer applicable because all ordinary shares and redeemable shares were exchanged prior to the beginning of the fourth quarter.
 
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB280.8 million ($41.1 million), compared to RMB161.4 million as of March 31, 2009.

“With the rising health awareness, the general public is devoting more resources to acquire quality medical care and healthcare services either individually or for other family members,” Ms. Ting Zheng further stated. “We will dedicate more resources to enhance market education with a view to entice the rising local demand. In addition, we will continue to explore opportunities to extend our presence in China and the Asia Pacific region to realize our goal of becoming the largest Pan-Asian cord blood bank. ”

 
 

 

Fiscal 2010 Financial Results

For fiscal 2010, net revenue increased 34.4% to RMB261.5 million ($38.3 million), from RMB194.5 million last year. The increase was largely attributable to the 30.5% increase in new subscriber numbers to 45,252 new subscribers and the expansion in the accumulated subscriber base. During the year, processing fees and storage fees grew 28.2% and 70.9%, respectively. Gross profit in fiscal 2010 increased 34.7% to RMB195.8 million ($28.7 million) from RMB145.4 million in the prior year.  In fiscal 2010, operating income increased 14.1% to RMB97.2 million ($14.2 million). Fiscal 2010 net income attributable to shareholders was RMB49.2 million ($7.2 million) compared to RMB20.7 million in the prior year. Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shares were RMB0.69 ($0.10) and RMB0.66 ($0.10), respectively. Non-GAAP EBITDA increased 25.5% to RMB117.6 million ($17.2 million) and non-GAAP EPS also increased to RMB1.12 ($0.16) from RMB0.35 in the fiscal 2009.

Financial Outlook

During fiscal 2011, the Company expects that growth momentum in terms of new subscribers will continue and the total number of new subscribers will not be less than 58,000 new subscribers which would translate into at least a 30% increase in net revenue.  Management also expects the accumulated total number of subscribers will be at least 187,000 at the end of fiscal 2011.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
Non-GAAP basic earnings attributable to shareholders (“Non-GAAP EPS”) represents a pro forma adjustment to the number of ordinary shares outstanding for all periods to reflect the conversion of certain redeemable shares into ordinary shares in June 2009.  This is effected by adding income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest back to GAAP net income attributable to shareholders and divides by pro forma weighted average ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Pro forma weighted average ordinary shares issued and outstanding is the sum of weighted average ordinary shares issued and outstanding and assumes all redeemable shares are exchanged into ordinary shares at the beginning of the period.

Non-GAAP EBITDA represents operating income excluding acquired intangible assets amortization expense and depreciation expense. We have presented EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management uses EBITDA as a measurement tool for evaluating our actual operating performance compared to budget and prior periods. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, for example, basing the determination on net income before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measure of performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures described by the Company are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure in the exhibits below titled “Reconciliations of non-GAAP results of operations measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures” and “Reconciliations of non-GAAP EPS to the nearest comparable GAAP measures”.

 
 

 

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to its historical performance and liquidity. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to the supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making.
