Sales Update for FY2012

  • Strong sales performance in FY2012

  • Sales revenue totalli n g $4.25million – 158% increase on FY2011

  • Q4 2012 sales reven u e up 72% on previous corresponding period

  • New cost restructuri n g program in effect and expected to be reflecte d in Q1 2013

Cardia Bioplastics Limited (ASX: CNN) is pleased to announce a sales revenue of $4. 2 5 million for the Financial Year ending 30 June 2012 – a sign i ficant 2.6-fold increase on the $1.65 million sales revenue recorded in FY2011. While the Company’s sale s target for FY2012 was $5 million, the growt h in sales revenue is still significant and represents a 158% improvement on the previous corresponding perio d .

Furthermore, sales for the June 201 2 quarter ($910,986) were up by 72% on sales for the same quarter period ($530,600) of the FY2011.

Given the current tough global trading conditions, particularly in Europe, the B o ard is pleased with the Company’s sales performance. It giv e s further commercial validation of the unique r e sin technologies, and also confirms that Cardia bioplastic pro d ucts are achieving market acceptance in a ne w and developing growth industry. The current global down t urn does however make it difficult for the Bo a rd to forecast sales with certainty for FY2013.

Cardia has also taken measures t o reduce its operating costs as the Company transitions from product development to commercialisation t hrough marketing and sales initiatives. A cost restructure program was implemented in the June 2012 quar t er and is expected to be reflected in the September 2012 quarterly cash flow statement. It is also expected t h at the cost reduction program will benefit the o v erall business in the 2013 Financial Year.

Chairman of Cardia Bioplastics, Mr Pat Volpe commented:

“Defying tough global trading conditions and in particular in Europe, the 2012 Finan c ial Year has proven to be a period of significant sales growt h for Cardia. Preliminary annual sales results of $4.25m for FY 2012 is approximately 2.6 times that of last Financial Year and a record performance in ter m s of sales in any one year for the Company.

“Cardia is strengthening its position in the bioplastics market, and as the global shift towards green economies continues to gain momentum, we ex p ect our sales pipeline to continue to grow.”
