Mr. Yihua Kang, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ever-Glory, said, "During the second quarter, we maintained our focus on developing the retail business through our multi-brand strategy and store network optimization initiative, while improving our wholesale business by upgrading customer portfolio and enhancing our account receivables."

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results 

Total sales for the second quarter of 2019 were $77.3 million, a decrease of 12.7% from $88.5 million in the second quarter of 2018. This decrease was primarily driven by an 19.4% decrease in our retail business and a 4.0% decrease in wholesale business.

Sales for the Company's branded fashion apparel retail division decreased by 19.4% to $40.1 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared with $49.7 million for the second quarter of 2018. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the amounts of stores and same-store sales. The Company had 1,235 retail stores as of June 30, 2019, compared with 1,417 retail stores as of June 30, 2018.

Sales for the Company's wholesale division decreased by 4.0% to $37.3 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared with $38.8 million for the second quarter of 2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreased sales in Mainland China, Hong Kong China, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom and other European markets partially offset for increased sales in the United States.

Total gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 decreased by 16.1% to $29.0 million, compared with $34.5 million for the second quarter of 2018. Total gross margin decreased to 37.5% from 39.0% for the second quarter of 2018.

Gross profit for the retail business decreased by 16.1% to $23.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared with $27.4 million for the second quarter of 2018. Gross margin was 57.3%, compared to 55.1% for the second quarter of 2018.

Gross profit for the wholesale business decreased by 16.0% to $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared with $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2018. Gross margin decreased to 16.1% from 18.4% for the second quarter of 2018.

Selling expenses for the second quarter of 2019 decreased by 12.8% to $19.7 million, or 25.5% of total sales, compared with $22.6 million, or 25.5% of total sales for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease was attributable to the marketing expenses associated with the promotion of the retail brand.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2019 decreased by 16.8% to $7.3 million, or 9.5% of total sales, compared with $8.8 million, or 10.0% of total sales for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decline in number of stores.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2019 decreased by 37.7% to $2.0 million compared with $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2018.

Net income attributable to the Company for the second quarter of 2019 was $1.9 million compared with $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2018. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.13 for the second quarter of 2019 compared with $0.19 for the second quarter of 2018.
