“We are proud to achieve new revenue, profit and new subscriber records during the third fiscal quarter,” said Ms. Ting Zheng, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of China Cord Blood Corporation. “Margins continued to expand, driven by growing contribution from recurring storage revenue and successful cost control measures. New subscriber number surpassed the 14,000 mark for the first time. These achievements are a testament to our successful market positioning as well as our effective market development strategy.”
Ms. Zheng further stated, “We have also announced the establishment of our Zhejiang subsidiary. Today, out of the seven authorized regions in China, we now have full access to the Beijing municipality, Guangdong province and Zhejiang province. With the presence in the above markets and our equity investment in the Shandong cord blood banking operator, our broad market reach makes CCBC the largest and most influential cord blood banking operator in China. We are really excited about reaching such a large addressable marketplace, much of which is untapped.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 Financial Results
REVENUE. Third quarter revenue increased 31.3% to RMB90.5 million ($13.7 million), up from RMB68.9 million in the same period last year. Revenue from processing fees increased by 27.5% to RMB71.7 million ($10.9 million) from the prior year period. This reflects 14,765 new subscriber sign-ups this quarter, a 25.4% increase in new subscriber sign-ups from the prior year period. Revenue from storage fees increased 48.1% year-over-year to RMB18.8 million ($2.8 million), as a result of sustained growth in the accumulated subscriber base. Revenue from storage fee accounted for 20.8% of the total third quarter
revenue, compared to 18.4% in the same period last year. Driven by the strong demand from the Beijing and Guangdong markets, the Company’s accumulated subscriber base as of December 31, 2010 reached a new record of 170,189, up 44.7% year-over-year.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit in the third quarter increased to RMB69.5 million ($10.5 million), up 33.2% from RMB52.2 million in the same period last year. Gross margin reached a new high by increasing 110 basis points to 76.8% year-over-year, primarily as a result of the rising revenue largely related to rising contribution from storage fees and economies of scale.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the third quarter reached RMB34.8 million ($5.3 million), up 38.8% from RMB25.1 million, driven by new subscriber numbers, margin expansion and successful cost control measures. Operating income as a percentage of revenues increased slightly to 38.5%, up 210 basis points year-over-year. Depreciation and amortization expense for the third quarter amounted to RMB5.8 million ($0.9 million).
Research and Development expense. Third quarter research and development expense rose to RMB1.9 million ($0.3 million).
Sales and Marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense increased 20.4% to RMB12.5 million ($1.9 million) as the Company continued to expand its marketing resources to cope with rising demand in Beijing and Guangdong. The Company’s direct marketing approach has yielded very favorable results in its target markets, not only achieving a steadily growing penetration rate but also successfully reducing the sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue to 13.9%.
General Administrative expense. Third quarter general administrative expenses amounted to RMB20.2 million ($3.1 million), up 21.4% year-on-year. General administrative expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 22.4%, compared to 24.2% during the same period last year. Despite the increase in revenue, general administrative expense remained stable and comparable as an absolute amount to the last two quarters. Moving forward, the Company believes cost control efforts could lead to further margin expansion.
NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS. Third quarter net income attributable to shareholders reached RMB25.9 million ($3.9 million). Net margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 rose to a new record of 28.6%. Basic earnings per share for third quarter of fiscal 2011 were RMB0.36 ($0.06).
NET CASH. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB548.0 million ($83.0 million), compared to RMB280.8 million as of March 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, total borrowing was RMB45.0 million ($6.8 million).
Ms. Zheng stated, “Our excellent results in the third fiscal quarter demonstrate our success stories in both Beijing and Guangdong. Following the recent formation of our new Zhejiang subsidiary, we are committed to replicating our success in Beijing and Guangdong in this new untapped Zhejiang market.”
“As the exclusive cord blood banking operator in Beijing, Guangdong and Zhejiang, we have access to a market of 1.8 million newborns each year and we see significant room for growth ahead of us,” Ms. Zheng further commented. “To deepen our market penetration, we will continue to explore new promotion initiatives by developing and modifying our payment schemes to best fit subscribers’ needs and tailor our corporate goals to capitalize on new market opportunities. We strive to maximize shareholder value by delivering solid operational performance, stable and recurring cash flows as well as sustainable earnings growth over the long term. “
Nine Months Fiscal 2011 Financial Results
For first nine months of fiscal 2011, total revenue increased 28.4% to RMB244.9 million ($37.1 million), from RMB190.7 million last year. The increase was largely attributable to the 21.9% increase in new subscribers to 40,877 and the expansion in the accumulated subscriber base to 170,189. During the first nine months, processing fees and storage fees grew 23.0% and 53.9%, respectively. Gross profit in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 increased 33.8% to RMB187.5 million ($28.4 million) from RMB140.1 million in the prior year period. During the first nine months of fiscal 2011, operating income increased to RMB87.4 million ($13.2 million). Net income
attributable to shareholders for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was RMB65.4 million ($9.9 million). Basic earnings per ordinary share were RMB0.96 ($0.15).
