JCET Posts Second Consecutive Quarter with Record High in Q2 2020
SHANGHAI, Aug. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Strong demand for advanced technology drives growth (Q2 2020 Financial 
Highlights):

-Revenue was RMB 6.27 billion, a record high in the second quarter. On a 
comparable basis, taking into account the accounting change in revenue 
recognition, it was an increase of 55.3% year on year (see note). 
-Generated RMB 1.00 billion cash from operations, up 54.9% year on year. With 
net capex investments of RMB 0.64 billion, free cash flow for the quarter was 
RMB 0.36 billion. 
-Net profit was RMB 0.23 billion, a record high second quarter in the past five 
years. 
-Earnings per share was RMB 0.15, as compared to RMB -0.13 in Q2 2019. 

Note: During the reporting period, we optimized the business model for the 
purchase and sale of certain packaged products, of which JCET Group no longer 
bears the general inventory risk on the main raw materials. In accordance with 
PRC GAAP, both revenue and costs of goods sold were recorded on the net basis 
and decreased by RMB 0.93 billion respectively. This change had no impact on 
the company's net profit. Assuming that revenue was still recognized by the 
gross method (should be recorded on the net basis according to PRC GAAP), it 
would be RMB 7.20 billion, an increase of 55.3% over the same period last year.
