(NYSE Amex: SPU) ("SkyPeople" or "the Company"), a processor and manufacturer of concentrated kiwifruit, apple, pear and other fruit juices and fruit products in China, today announced preliminary 2009 results and provided guidance for 2010. SkyPeople anticipates revenues of between $58 million and $60 million for the full year ended December 31, 2009. This represents year-over-year revenue growth of between 39% to 44%, which was attributed to increased sales of SkyPeople's proprietary, Hedetang(R)-branded, fruit juice product line plus sales of fruit concentrate and fresh fruit to its growing list of China-based food and beverage distributors and manufacturers. Preliminary 2009 net income is anticipated to be between $15 and $16 million for the year, representing between 50% and 60% year-over-year growth. The increase resulted from higher overall sales, including the Company's Hedetang(R)-branded fruit juices, for which the first nine months of 2009 yielded average gross margins of 38%. 2010 Guidance Management is providing revenue guidance of $92 to $102 million and net income guidance of between $19 to $21 million for 2010.
