2013-06-18 20:00 2329

BEIJING, June 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- General Steel Holdings, Inc. ("General Steel" or the "Company") (NYSE: GSI), a leading non-state-owned steel producer in China, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012, fourth quarter of 2012 and full-year ended December 31, 2012. In conjunction with this announcement, the Company has filed the corresponding Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended 2012 ("2012 Annual Report") with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Upon the filing of the 2012 Annual Report, the Company has regained compliance with the New York Stock Exchange's ("NYSE") continued listing standards relating to the filing of its 2012 Annual Report.

"We are pleased to have completed the filing of our 2012 Annual Report, and thereby regaining compliance with the NYSE's continued listing requirement that we file our Annual Report," said Henry Yu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of General Steel. "Again, I would like to thank our finance team for their diligent efforts in completing these filings and we look forward to soon updating the investment community on our business strategy and development efforts for 2013 and beyond."

"According to the China Iron and Steel Association, 2012 was the most difficult year in the last decade for China's steel industry. Due to the economic slowdown and an oversupply of inventory, steel prices declined sharply in 2012, and, as a result, more Chinese steel companies suffered net losses in 2012[1]. Given the challenging macro environment, we strategically focused on optimizing and upgrading our production capability and on strengthening our market competitiveness via our geographic advantages in Western China and through cooperation with the government and state-owned enterprises. Our efforts helped us achieve positive gross profits and narrow net losses for the year. Looking ahead, we remain focused on further strengthening our geographic advantages in Western China, while forging ahead with upgrading our production capability and improving operating efficiency."

Full Year 2012 Financial Review

  • Revenue decreased 19.6% year-over-year to $2.9 billion, from $3.6 billion in 2011, mainly due to decreased sales volumes as well as a decrease in average selling price of rebar products.
  • Sales volume totaled approximately 5.3 million metric tons, compared with 6.2 million metric tons in 2011.
  • Gross profit totaled $32.1 million, or 1.1% of revenue, compared with gross loss of $(88.2) million, or gross margin of negative (2.5%) in 2011.
  • Operating loss for the year improved to $(73.0) million, compared with an operating loss of $(180.0) million in 2011.

The decreased net loss in 2012 was primarily attributable to improved gross profit, a decrease in operating loss, offset by an increase of $70.5 million in other expenses as compared to the same period of 2012.
