This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader.

Second Quarter 2015 Results
Net sales for the second quarter were RMB483.8 million (US$79.1 million), a 20.2% increase from RMB 402.5 million (US$65.8 million) in the same period last year. The increase was driven by continued strength in sales of switchgear and unit substations, a ramp-up in sales to the Company's newest OEM customer, and moderate growth in sales of transformers.
In the second quarter, China sales increased 21.1% year-over-year to RMB415.1 million (US$67.9 million), or 85.8% of net sales, compared to RMB342.6 million (US$56.0 million), or 85.1% of net sales in the same period last year. Net sales outside of China for the second quarter increased 14.7% year-over-year to RMB68.7 million (US$11.2 million), or 14.2% of net sales, compared to RMB59.9 million (US$9.8 million), or 14.9% of net sales, for the same period last year.
Sales of cast resin transformers increased 11.1% year-over-year to RMB285.5 million (US$46.7 million), or 59.0% of net sales, compared to RMB257.0 million (US$42 million) or 63.9% of net sales, for the same period last year. Sales of our integrated products, including switchgear and unit substations, increased 56.6% year-over-year to RMB124.4 million (US$20.4 million), or 25.7% of sales, compared to RMB79.4 million (US$13.0 million), or 19.7% of net sales, for the same period last year.
Sales to OEM customers increased 24.6% year-over-year to RMB89.8 million (US$14.7 million), or 18.6% of net sales, compared to RMB72.1 million (US$11.8 million), or 17.9% of net sales in the same period last year.
Gross profit in the second quarter decreased 3.0% year over year to RMB130.8 million (US$21.4 million) from RMB134.8 million (US$22.0 million) in the same period last year. Second quarter 2015 gross profit margin was 27.0%, compared to 33.5% in the prior year period. Gross margin in the second quarter decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased materials prices and an increased mix of sales of switchgear and unit substations, which carry lower gross margins.
Selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter were RMB94.6 million (US$15.5 million), or 19.6% of net sales, compared to RMB95.4 million (US$15.6 million), or 23.7% of net sales in the same period last year. Selling and administrative expenses decreased slightly from the same period last year due to lower selling expense partially offset by increased research and development expense, while general and administrative expenses remained roughly flat.
Operating income for the second quarter decreased 8.1% to RMB36.2 million (US$5.9 million), or 7.5% of net sales, from RMB39.4 million (US$6.4 million), or 9.8% of net sales, in the same period last year.
Net income for the second quarter increased 6.5% to RMB34.5 million (US$5.6 million), or RMB2.06 (US$0.34) per diluted share, compared to RMB32.4 million (US$5.3 million), or RMB1.95 (US$0.32) per diluted share, in the same period last year. Second quarter net income, as a percentage of net sales, was 7.1% compared to 8.0% in the same period last year.
Mr. Zhiyuan Li, Chief Executive Officer of Jinpan International, stated, "Our second quarter sales of RMB 438.8 million (US$79.1 million) exceeded our expectations and represented a historical quarterly record. The strong sales performance reflects the results of our concerted effort to increase sales volume to offset margin pressure within the industry. This strategy is enabled by the increased production capacity and competitive cost structure of our Guilin production facility."
"During the second quarter we experienced many of the same positive dynamics that we have seen over the past several quarters. Our product sales continued to diversify, driven by a strong increase in sales of switchgear and unit substations. Sales to our OEM customers increased as our newest OEM, a leading global wind turbine manufacturer, ramped up shipments during the quarter."
"While our gross margins improved from the first quarter, we continued to experience margin pressure due to rising materials cost and product mix. Foreign currency exchange rates also negatively impacted our earnings due to fluctuations in the valuation of the Euro during the quarter. We remained focused on managing our working capital and our days sales outstanding demonstrated a slight improvement."
"Jinpan operates in a cyclical industry closely tied to China's economic environment, which is experiencing decelerating growth. We are focused on navigating the current industry down-cycle through disciplined execution and fiscal conservatism, with a vision to enter the recovery period in a more dominant competitive position within the market."
"At the end of June 2015, our backlog equaled RMB937 million (US$153 million), up 28.6% from the same period last year and up 7.5% from the first quarter of 2015."
