China Recycling Energy Corporation Reports Results for the First Quarter of 2020

/EIN News/ -- XI'AN, China, June 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- China Recycling Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CREG) ("CREG" or "the Company"), an industrial waste-to-energy solution provider in China, today reported certain highlights of its operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

“As of March 31, 2020, we maintained a healthy cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $55.0 million,” stated Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of the Company. In addition, we have accomplished significant cost cutting throughout our entire organization, evidenced by net loss narrowed by approximately 69.2% to approximately $(0.6) million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to approximately $(1.9) million in the same period of 2019. We are executing what we believe is a clear plan to manage our business efficiently and effectively through the coronavirus pandemic, prioritizing the health and safety of our customers and teams.  We believe our financial position and contingency plans will allow us to retain the financial flexibility to pursue the fast-growing smart power sector. We feel we are back on track to continue evaluating several exciting strategic opportunities to reinvest in innovative growth initiatives that we expect will reposition our energy sustainability business in direct relation to smart power integrated solutions to vastly improve climate change efficiency in China, which we believe will better serve our clients, employees and shareholders. As such, we will maintain our focus on expense and working capital discipline so that we move forward with a strengthened platform to attempt to capitalize on the significant opportunities we see for growth.” 

"Lastly, I want to thank all our employees for their service to the business and to our loyal customers.  I am confident we will emerge from this challenge even stronger, given the strength of our brand, our people and the new opportunities ahead of us."  

Financial Summary for the Full Year Ended December 31, 2019

  • Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $55.0 million as of March 31, 2020, an increase of approximately $38.8 million as compared to approximately $16.2 million as of December 31, 2019.
  • Net sales were nil as compared to $0.6 million for the same period of 2019 due to the shutdown of business during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Operating expenses were $154,178 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $2,699,990 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $2,545,812 or 94%. The decrease was mainly due to decreased bad debts expense by $108,396, decreased operating expense by $1,095,907 of Erdos TCH due to cease of the operation, and decreased loss on disposal of systems by $1,257,170. We disposed Chengli Boxing system, Xuzhou Huayu system, and Shenqiu Phase I & II systems during the three months ended March 31, 2019 for the repayment of entrusted loan.
  • Net loss for three months ended March 31, 2020 was $598,551 or $(0.28) per fully diluted share compared to $1,942,294 or $(1.61) per fully diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of loss of $1,343,743. This decrease in net loss was mainly due to the decrease operating expenses as described above.
