Mr. Yong Zhang, Xinyuan's Chairman said, "We are pleased to end 2014 with a very strong fourth quarter performance, as measured by our year-over-year contract sales and revenue growth, as we experienced a general improvement in project demand. As we have indicated throughout the year, our anticipated revenue and profit recognition for 2014 was back-end loaded, with the fourth quarter alone contributing 39%, 39% and 49% to total 2014 revenue, contract sales and net income. Despite challenging market conditions for the year, we still managed revenue and contract sales growth over 2013. While it is still early to forecast how quickly China’s overall real estate market recovers, we are encouraged with our improved performance and believe the macro real estate environment continues to stabilize. With our continued focus on development projects in high growth cities, solid execution and stringent cost controls, we believe 2015 can be a very productive year for our business.”

 

“2014 was a year of adjustment for our company as we invested in resources for our future development and growth. Our operational highlights for the full year include launching presales of ten development projects, acquiring eight projects for a total GFA of 1.83 million square meters and selectively entering into new geographic areas. The balance of our real estate property under development at the end of the fourth quarter increased to US$1.7 billion from US$1.6 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2014, reflecting 18 active development projects with another six projects that are expected to commence pre-sales in 2015. As of December 31, 2014, our total sellable GFA was approximately 3.08 million square meters, representing both active projects and projects in the planning stage, reaching a new record for Xinyuan.”

 

“Finally, we want to express gratitude to our long-term shareholders for standing with Xinyuan during these turbulent times. In 2014, the Company distributed a dividend payment of US$0.05 per ADS each quarter. We also repurchased 4.5 million ADS at total cost of US$ 17.6 million for the full year. We remain committed to rewarding our shareholders in 2015 as we further scale our operations and grow Xinyuan into a leading real estate developer in China,” concluded Mr. Zhang.

The increase of SG&A expenses compared to the third quarter 2014 was mainly due to four new projects beginning presales and a year-end bonus accrual in the fourth quarter.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was US$23.8 million compared to US$7.8 million for the third quarter of 2014 and US$31.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2013.
