Wonder International Provides Summary of Audited Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2012
Revenues Increase 27.5% Reaching $18.9 Million in 2012; Operating Income Increases 64.7% to $6.7 Million; Conference Call Scheduled for April 23, 2013 at 11:30 A.M. EDT
(firmenpresse) - PHOENIX, AZ -- (Marketwired) -- 04/18/13 -- Wonder International Education and Investment Group Corporation (OTCBB: WIEI) (OTCQB: WIEI), a provider of information technology vocational training schools and the first China-based vocational training school publicly traded in the U.S., announced today its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Total revenue for the 2012 fiscal year increased 27.5% to $18.9 million from $14.8 million of total revenue in 2011. The revenue increase is primarily due to the Company's successful implementation of an aggressive marketing and promotional campaign. Although inhibited by worldwide economic recession, the growth in sales occurred at all seven Company schools.
Operating income in 2012 increased 64.7% to $6.7 million from $4.08 million in 2011. This increase was a direct result of the aggressive marketing and promotion campaign which increased sales in all schools and close management of our expenses. Despite an increase in advertising costs of $631,023 in 2012, the Company held all other costs down to similar levels in 2011.
The Company reported earnings of $0.33 per share on a basic and fully diluted basis, compared to earnings of $0.26 per share in the prior year.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding remains unchanged at 20,000,000.
Frank Wei, CEO of Wonder International Education and Investment Group Corporation, commented, "In the past year, we have succeeded in positioning ourselves at the forefront of the rapidly expanding vocational training industry and have become a key player in supporting China's ongoing movement towards urbanization. Our established industry position and our continued marketing campaign focused on the largely populated rural areas of China where vocational skills are in high-demand drives our ability to deliver increased revenues in the year ahead."
Wei continued, "The demand for an educated workforce in China remains strong as technology continues to develop at a record pace. With more and more people moving from rural China to the city for greater job opportunities, we expect to see an ongoing increase in our school enrollment. We are pleased to report that we had significant increases in our total revenue and operating income for 2012 and we expect this trend to continue in 2013."
Wonder established its first school in 1993 and operates seven information technology-focused vocational training schools in seven provinces; Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan, Hubei, Liaoning, and Fujian. The Company's core focus is to educate students in the lesser-developed cities of China to have the practical skills to secure higher-paying jobs.
Wonder also operates employment service agencies in more than twenty provinces and municipalities to serve their more than 20,000 graduating students annually. The Company's partnership with 30,000 corporations and twelve employment agencies will help provide jobs to Wonder's students and increase quality IT to support China's growing economy.
