Mr. Yong Zhang, Xinyuan's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, "The 2013 first quarter was a very strong start for Xinyuan as we significantly exceeded our first quarter 2013 revenue, contract sales and net income guidance forecast. The fundamentals of China's housing market remained healthy as expected with general housing prices stable in the first quarter.
Additionally, we have not experienced any discernible changes in customer buying patterns in the wake of the central government's latest home purchase restriction announcements.
"Although our first quarter results were impacted by the usual Chinese New Year seasonality effect, first quarter results were stronger than our previous expectation due to strong buying demand at our development projects. In the second quarter, we project lower sequential results due to lower sellable inventory levels, but we expect sales to pick up in the second half of this year as three new projects commence pre-sales and contribute to our revenue performance in the back half of the year. Consequently, we are pleased to raise our full year 2013 guidance accordingly, which reflects higher levels of contract sales under the current operating environment.
"As announced earlier, we have successfully issued US$200 million of senior notes due in 2018 to repay certain existing debts, and invest in new projects in China and the United States.
"As we continue to evaluate opportunities to maximize return for our shareholders, we are pleased to announce that our board of directors has approved a quarterly dividend of US$0.05 per ADS payable on May 31, 2013 to shareholders of record as of May 21, 2013.
"Overall, we are very pleased with our operational and financial results in the first quarter and remain confident in Xinyuan's long-term growth strategy with our experienced managerial team, attractive development projects and solid balance sheet."
