Recon Technology Reports Strong Gains
in FY 2014 and Announces Growth Goals
FY 2014 Results Were Boosted By Sharp
Increases in Oilfield Automation and Furnaces Revenues, Improved Gross Margins, and an Operating Profit Versus Operating Loss in
the Prior Year
BEIJING, September 29, 2014 -- Recon Technology, Ltd.(NASDAQ:
RCON), (“Recon” or the “Company”), a leading independent oilfield services provider operating primarily
in China, today reported that in its fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Company was able to record the following results:
| · | Revenues grew 22% to $15,181,815 from $12,442,444* in FY 2013 as sales
of oilfield hardware products to non-related parties more than doubled, |
| · | Adjusted net income attributable to Recon (non- U.S. GAAP)** grew
170% to approximately $831,550 from $307,440 in FY 2013 |
| · | Adjusted EBIDTA (non- U.S. GAAP) increased 88% year over year to $1,435,679,
from $763,800* |
| · | Net income attributable to Recon (U.S. GAAP) rose to approximately
$131,140 from approximately $6,450* in the prior year |
| · | Diluted EPS (U.S. GAAP) rose 1,400% to $0.03 from EPS of $0.002 in
FY 2013 |
| · | Adjusted diluted EPS** (non- U.S. GAAP) rose 137% to $0.19 compared
with $0.08 a year earlier |
* Based on the exchange rate of RMB6.1552 to US$1.00.
** Non- U.S. GAAP measures are explained in tables 3 and 4 below.
Non -U.S. GAAP adjusted net income and EPS exclude certain special non-cash after tax expenses totaling $ 700,419 ($0.16 per share)
that are included in net income
Other FY 2014 Highlights
| · | Hardware and Software sales to non-related parties grew 108.2%
year over year, offsetting a decline in revenues related to fracturing |
| · | Gross margins increased year-over-year from 32.7% to 34.7%,
in part reflecting the decline in lower margin fracturing related sales |
| · | Operating income increased from a loss in FY2013 of $91,751
to income of $459,813 |
| · | Current assets as of June 30, 2014, including approximately
$2.94 million in cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $25.1 million. |
| · | The Company reported no long term debt and total current liabilities
of approximately $8.18 million as of June 30, 2014 |
| · | Working capital as of June 30, 2014 was approximately $13.5
million |
| · | There were approximately 4.4 million weighted average outstanding
ordinary shares, on a fully diluted basis, as of June 30, 2014, up from approximately 4.0 million as of June 30, FY 2013, in part
reflecting a registered direct offering in November 2013 of 546,500 ordinary shares and warrants to initially purchase an aggregate
of 163,950 ordinary shares. This offering generated net proceeds of approximately $2.0 million. |
Continuing Strong Outlook
Commenting on results, Mr. Shenping Yin, Chairman and CEO of
Recon stated, “FY 2014 delivered a number of favorable highlights on both the top and bottom line despite reduced drilling
activity and fallout from burgeoning reforms of China’s oil industry. Our strong hardware sales, reflecting growing acceptance
by customers of our deep understanding of their needs and the excellent technology and know-how we can provide to improve their
production efficiency, safety and profits, was certainly a key highlight as was the swing into the black of results from operations.
While we didn’t generate significant revenues from our fracturing services this past year, we are optimistic we will see
these grow in the future based on our ongoing fracturing projects, which are located at not only Zhongyuan Oilfield, but also Northeast
Oilfield and Sichuan Province.”
Promising Year Again For Furnaces and Burners
“As new wells are developed,” Mr. Yin continued,
“we believe we will see continued strong growth this year in sales of our burners and furnaces. Another promising growth
area is in down-hole tools, and we now have good experience with this technology and have seen strong opportunities. We also see
a continuing focus on developing new sources of energy in China. Natural gas obtained through fracturing will certainly be part
of this trend and as I’ve noted, we anticipate a pick up in our activity in the fracturing business in FY 2014.”
“Not least of all,” Mr. Yin added, “we are
cognizant of the need to further improve our profits and believe that further integration into our offerings of our higher margin
services will be one key to accomplishing this, as well as growing our business to include some down-hole services to add to the
up-ground business we have concentrated on to date.”
Growth in Automation Products
Mr. Yin continued, “In FY 2014, we see particularly good
continuing demand for ‘Digital Oil Field’ automation products and services, further enhanced by our recent appointment
as an authorized third party system integrator for world renowned automation leader ABB. While I believe this partnership, as well
as our partnerships with global oil servicing leaders such as Baker Hughes, Emerson and others reflects well on our abilities,
more importantly, it inspires further confidence in our customers and helps to expand the range of products and services we are
able to customize for the unique needs of the oil and gas fields in China.”
Growth Goals: Organic Growth Plus Acquisitions
“In recent weeks,” Mr. Yin said, “we have
focused on developing growth goals to guide the efforts of our still young Company that we believe is entering a new stage of development.
Our major focus going forward will continue to be on the organic development of our business, built on strong technology, our very
well developed solid relationships with China’s large oil companies, and our focus on building our business in China’s
most challenging oil fields away from large potential competitors. However, we believe we can supplement this growth with carefully
chosen acquisitions and joint ventures, and have put a greater effort into accomplishing this.”
Double Our Revenues Over Next 2 to 3 Years
“Looking ahead,” Mr. Yin said, “we believe
that an achievable goal for Recon is annual average revenue growth of a minimum of 20%. We further believe that if we couple this
with appropriate acquisitions, we can aim to double our revenues over the next two to three fiscal years.”
Mr. Yin concluded, “While pursuing these goals, we will
keep in mind the best interests of our shareholders, who we know would also like to see a growing bottom line as we grow our revenues,
and also don’t want us to stray from our areas of expertise. We think we have a very exciting future ahead and look forward
to continuing to inform shareholders of our progress.”

Table 3:
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted
EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for income tax expense, interest expense, loss from investment, non-cash stock compensation
expense, depreciation and amortization. We think it is useful to an equity investor in evaluating our operating performance because:
(1) it is widely used by investors in our industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such
as interest expense, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting
methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired; and (2) it helps investors
more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital
structure and asset base from our operating results.
