BAODING, China, May 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- IT Tech Packaging, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ITP) (“IT Tech Packaging” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer and distributor of diversified paper products in North China, announced today its unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2020 decreased by 49.9% to $8.74 million, primarily due to the decrease in sales volume of corrugating medium paper (“CMP”) and tissue paper products, as well as the decrease in Average Selling Prices (“ASPs”) of CMP and tissue paper products. Gross loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $0.17 million, compared to $0.19 million for the same period of last year. Gross loss margin was 1.9% for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 1.1% for the same period of last year. Net loss was $2.44 million, or loss per share of $0.11, compared to net loss of $2.72 million, or loss per share of $0.12, for the same period of last year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was $1.06 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $0.81 million for the same period of last year.
Mr. Zhenyong Liu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “As we had expected, our financial results of the first quarter 2020 recorded some decreases versus the same period of last year mainly as our production was suspended from mid-January 2020 to early March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak as well as the seasonal effect of the Chinese New Year. While our facilities have been ramping-up since March, our production and sales in the first quarter were all impacted, resulting sales decline and profit loss. We returned to production in mid-March 2020 and resumed full capacity of tissue paper production and CMP production in early April 2020 and March 2020, respectively. Despite of the unprecedented challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, our tissue paper products are in growing demand due to the need to control the spread of COVID-19 and our production lines have been running at full production capacity since April to fulfill orders secured. In response to the market demands for tissue paper as daily necessities, we are scheduling a new tissue paper production line PM10 which we expect to be launched shortly this year. In addition to adding a tissue paper production line, we launched a non-medical face masks production line to meet the huge demands for personal protective gear needed for the public and workers in different industries. As such, we are confident the underlying demand for our products remain strong and we expect to improve the overall performance in the coming quarters.”
First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenue
For the first quarter of 2020, total revenue decreased by $8.71 million, or 49.9%, to $8.74 million from $17.45 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in total revenue was mainly due to the decrease in both sales volume and average selling prices of CMP and tissue paper products. The following table summarizes revenue, volume and ASPs by products for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively:

Revenue from CMP, including both regular CMP and Light-Weight CMP, decreased by $7.85 million, or 50.4%, to $7.74 million and accounted for 88.5% of total revenue for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $15.59 million, or 89.3% of total revenue, for the same period of last year. The Company sold 18,677 tonnes of CMP at an ASP of $414/tonne in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 33,718 tonnes at an ASP of $462/tonne in the same period of last year.
Of the total CMP sales, revenue from regular CMP decreased by $6.50 million, or 53.2%, to $5.72 million, resulting from sales of 13,788 tonnes at an ASP of $415/tonne, during the first quarter of 2020, compared to revenue of $12.22 million, resulting from sales of 26,293 tonnes at an ASP of $465/tonne, for the same period of last year. Revenue from light-weight CMP decreased by $1.35 million, or 40.1%, to $2.02 million, resulting from sales of 4,889 tonnes at an ASP of $412/tonne for the first quarter of 2020, compared to revenue of $3.37 million, resulting from sales of 7,425 tonnes at an ASP of $453/tonne for the same period of last year.

Production of offset printing paper was suspended from mid-January 2020 to early March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and Chinese New Year. As a result, revenue from offset printing paper was $nil for the first quarter of 2020. The Company didn’t sell any offset printing paper in the first quarter of 2019 neither.
Revenue from tissue paper products decreased by $0.85 million, or 45.9%, to $1.01 million, resulting from sales of 1,185 tonnes at an ASP of $849/tonne, for the first quarter of 2020, compared to revenue of $1.86 million, resulting from sales of 1,603 tonnes at an ASP of $1,160/tonne for the same period of last year.
Gross Loss and Gross Loss Margin
Total cost of sales decreased by $8.73 million, or 49.5%, to $8.91 million for the first quarter of 2020, from $17.64 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in total cost of sales was mainly due to the decrease in sales volume of CMP and tissue paper products, as well as decrease in material costs. Costs of sales per tonne for regular CMP, light-weight CMP, offset printing paper and tissue paper products were $395, $359, $nil and $1,450, respectively, for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $467, $477, $nil and $1,140 per tonne, respectively, for the same period of last year. Average unit purchase costs of recycled paper board, major raw material used for our production, was approximately $198/tonne for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $242/tonne for the same period of last year.
Total gross loss was $0.17 million for the first quarter of 2020, compare to the gross loss of $0.19 million for the same period of last year as a result of factors described above. Overall gross loss margin was 1.9% for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 1.1% for the same period of last year. Gross profit (loss) margins for regular CMP, light-weight CMP, offset printing paper and tissue paper products were 4.9%, 12.9%, nil% and -70.7%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2020, compared to -0.4%, -5.4%, nil% and 1.8%, respectively, for the same period of last year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased by $0.28 million, or 9.5%, to $2.70 million for the first quarter of 2020 from $2.98 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in SG&A was mainly due to a decrease in commission to sales staff and a depreciation of RMB against USD. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A was 30.8% for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 17.1% for the same period of last year.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations was $2.87 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to the loss from operations of $3.17 million for the same period of last year. Operating loss margin was 32.8% for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 18.2% for the same period of last year.

EBITDA
EBITDA was $1.06 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $0.81 million for the same period of the prior year.
Note 1: Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our U.S. GAAP results, this press release includes a discussion of EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company defines EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate our results and make strategic decisions. Management believes this measure is useful to investors because it is an indicator of operational performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in accordance with the U.S. GAAP.
