On 16 August 2011, Anhui Annada Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. (Annada) reported strong financial results in H1 2011. Its revenue was USD56 million, increasing by 42.70% over the same period last year. Annada's profit reached USD6 million, nearly doubled that of H1 2010. The high revenue and profit growth are mainly due to higher TiO2 selling prices and optimized product structure, according to CCM's August issue of TiO2 China Monthly Report.
Annada has taken the advantage of global economic recovery and strong demand of TiO2, overcoming the adverse effect of continually rising feedstock prices by increasing product prices in time. The revenue of rutile TiO2 increased by 79.18% thanks to higher prices and sales volume. The gross profit margin of both anatase TiO2 and rutile TiO2 increased by 4.42% year on year.
In H1 2011, the company's product structure was further optimized. The proportion of high-profit rutile TiO2 sales in total revenue increased from 64.54% in H1 2011 to 80.90%, while the proportion of anatase TiO2 sales in total revenue decreased from 35.46% in H1 2010 to 19.10%.
In the same period, Annada has further improved its sales network. As a result, its revenue in the markets of northeastern of China and South China increased and the revenue consolidated in East China market. What's more, the proportion of exports has increased substantially.
On 18 Feb. 2011, Annada issued 28,590 thousand shares through non-public offering to seven specific investors, including its parent company Tongling Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. (Tonghua Group), in order to raise fund for its 40,000t/a rutile TiO2 technical renovation project.
Annada expects its revenue and profit continue to grow in the second half of 2011, and estimates year-on-year profit increase will be in the range of 190% to 240% in the first nine months of 2011.
