BEIJING, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. ("Xinyuan" or the "Company") (NYSE: XIN), an NYSE-listed real estate developer and property manager primarily in China and also in other countries, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Third Quarter 2018 Highlights

    --  On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 to recognize revenue for
        contracts executed after the adoption on an "over time" basis using
        costs incurred, an input measure. As such, third quarter results reflect
        the adoption of ASC 606 and may not be directly comparable to prior
        periods.
    --  Contract sales decreased 5.5% to US$571.3 million from US$604.5 million
        in the third quarter of 2017 and decreased 9.9% from US$633.9 million in
        the second quarter of 2018.
    --  Total revenue increased 23.4% to US$595.5 million from US$482.4 million
        in the third quarter of 2017 and increased 67.4% from US$355.8 million
        in the second quarter of 2018.
    --  Gross profit increased 37.1% to US$149.2 million, or 25.1% of total
        revenue, from US$108.8 million, or 22.6% of total revenue, in the third
        quarter of 2017 and increased 36.4% from US$ 109.4 million, or 30.7% of
        total revenue, in the second quarter of 2018.
    --  Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of
        total revenue decreased to 8.0% from 10.6% in the third quarter of 2017
        and 13.2% in the second quarter of 2018.
    --  Net income increased 44.8% to US$23.9 million from US$16.5 million in
        the third quarter of 2017 and increased from a net loss of US$9.3
        million in the second quarter of 2018.
    --  Diluted net earnings per American Depositary Share ("ADS") attributable
        to shareholders were US$0.31 compared to diluted net earnings per ADS of
        US$0.22 in the third quarter of 2017 and net loss per ADS of US$0.10 in
        the second quarter of 2018.

Mr. Yong Zhang, Xinyuan's Chairman, stated, "Contract sales during the third quarter of 2018 once again experienced downward pressure because of a slowing economy and continued tight regulations on China's property market. However, we were able to offset these market uncertainties due to our strategically located projects in tier-two cities and our strong operational execution, resulting in a 67.4% increase in our top line from the prior quarter and a 23.4% increase from the prior year period. This translated into bottom-line growth of 44.8% year-over-year."

Mr. Zhang added, "In the third quarter of 2018, we commenced pre-sales of four projects, mainly in tier-two cities where housing demand continues to be strong, including Changsha Furong Thriving Family, Chengdu Xinyuan City I, Kunshan Xinyu Jiayuan, and Xingyang Splendid IV. We were also able to expand our land bank with the strategic acquisition of Dalian International Health Technology Town. This acquisition helps unlock our growth potential in Northeastern area of China. With an enlarged land bank, and an expanded global footprint, we are well positioned for long-term growth.

"We remain optimistic about our revenue growth and contract sales for the fourth quarter and we remain focused on our strategic priorities of rolling out projects in tier-one and tier-two cities. Our effective execution will help strengthen our ability to meet our goals for the fourth quarter. We're also pleased to announce another quarterly dividend payment to shareholders," concluded Mr. Zhang.

Real Estate Project Update in the United States

As of September 30, 2018, a total of 176 units out of 216 units were sold and closed at the Company's Oosten project in Brooklyn, New York City, with total revenue from this project reaching US$259.3 million. During the first nine months of 2018, revenues were US$8.8 million.

The Company has completed excavation and foundation work for Hudson Garden project in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan, New York City. The design drawings were optimized, increasing the number of units from 82 to 92. Of the 38,000 SF of retail/commercial space a total of 29,000 SF has been leased to the U.S. department store retailer Target with a 20-year lease. Soft launch of sales is scheduled to begin in the last quarter of 2018.

The Company continues to execute on the planning, governmental approvals, and pre-development activities of its ground-up project in Flushing, New York City. The Landmark Protection Committee approved the Company's landmark protection plan and awarded the Company a Certificate of Appropriateness. Transfer phase for landmarked artifacts is near to be completed by the end of 2018. Offsite restoration work will follow at a later date.

Real Estate Project Update in the United Kingdom

During the third quarter of 2018, another 11 floors were added to the structural core of the Madison project, resulting in 34 out of 53 floors built. Construction remains on track for completion in 2020. While a slowing economy in the UK and heightened Brexit uncertainty caused a low sales conversion rate, international demand remains robust.

Of the 423 residential units in The Madison, all of the 104 Affordable Housing apartments have been pre-sold to a regulated affordable housing provider. Of the remaining 319 apartments, 131 apartments have been sold with more reservations during the period expected to yield sales in the fourth quarter.

Business Outlook

The 2018 business outlook reflects the modified retrospective adoption of ASC 606 and may not be comparable to prior year periods.

For the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company expects contract sales to be approximately US$1,158.0 million.

For 2018, the Company expects an increase in contract sales of about 10% and an increase in consolidated net income of 15% to 20% over 2017.

This guidance excludes any potential foreign currency translation impact.
