We achieved 54.4% contract sales growth and 29.6% revenue growth compared to the same quarter last year, which was attributable to strong and solid performance of our active projects.

We were also pleased to increase our number of strategic land acquisitions. During the second quarter, we increased our presence in several existing markets where we have a sound track record, including Zhengzhou, Xi'an and Kunshan, and established our presence in a new market with national geographical significance - Zhuhai, an important location in the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area". A total of five new projects with an aggregate GFA of 795,000 square meters were acquired in the second quarter, which we expect to support our growth in the years to come.

Furthermore, we are pleased to pay our 22nd consecutive quarterly dividend. The ongoing US$40 million share repurchase as well as the full redemption of our outstanding US$200 million senior notes in early July also demonstrate our commitment to delivering value to our shareholders," concluded Mr. Zhang.

Revenue

In the second quarter of 2017, the Company's total revenue increased 29.6% to US$488.2 million from US$376.6 million in the second quarter of 2016 and increased 73.9% from US$280.7 million in the first quarter of 2017.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2017 was US$107.9 million, or 22.1% of revenue, compared to a gross profit of US$77.3 million, or 20.5% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2016 and a gross profit of US$62.6 million, or 22.3% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2017.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses were US$48.2 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to US$41.0 million for the second quarter of 2016 and US$35.5 million for the first quarter of 2017. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses were 9.9% compared to 10.9% in the second quarter of 2016 and 12.6% in the first quarter of 2017.

Net Income

Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was US$20.6 million compared to US$27.8 million for the second quarter of 2016 and US$7.4 million for the first quarter of 2017. Net margin was 4.2%, compared to 7.4% in the second quarter of 2016 and 2.6% in the first quarter of 2017.

The lower net income compared with the second quarter of 2016 was mainly due to (i) an increase in selling and distribution expenses related to commercial sales under a more challenging market environment, (ii) an increase in the un-capitalized portion of the Company's interest expenses due to some debt not yet allocated into real estate projects, and (iii) a one-time Land Value-Added Tax (LVAT) refund of approximately US$9 million in the prior year period related to a final settlement at one of the Company's projects.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2017, the Company's cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) increased to US$1,276.8 million from US$1,245.9 million as of March 31, 2017. Total debt outstanding was US$2,647.8 million, which reflected an increase of US$320.7 million compared to US$2,327.1 million at the end of the first quarter of 2017.

Real Estate Project Update in the United States

In the second quarter of 2017, our Oosten project in Brooklyn, New York recognized revenue of approximately US$21 million. As of June 30, 2017, we had sold and closed a total of 161 units out of 216 total units and revenue from this project had reached US$238 million. The construction loan for this project was fully paid off. As a testament to this project's success in the New York market, the Oosten project was recently awarded the "Best Residential Condominium Building" award by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce at the 2017 Building Brooklyn Awards, which represents the first win by a non-US-based developer in the award's history.

During the second quarter of 2017, local market demand and price trends remained stable in both Manhattan and Brooklyn. Both saw modest year-on-year unit price increases, with Brooklyn enjoying slightly higher increases.

The Company is continuing its foundation work for its second New York City project which is located in midtown Manhattan.

The Company continues to execute its planning, governmental approvals and pre-development of its ground-up development project located in Queens, New York.
