Glass-fiber revenue fell despite growth in consolidated revenue
The FY2013 consolidated statement reports CNY 5,209,641,310.30 of operating revenue, up 2.09%. The main-business product table separately reports glass fiber and related products at CNY 4,837,600,383.82 of revenue and CNY 3,294,228,513.90 of cost, giving the reported 31.90% gross margin. Fiber-product revenue fell 1.56%, cost rose 0.08%, and gross margin fell 1.11 percentage points. Management attributes the deterioration mainly to lower selling prices. Consolidated revenue growth therefore does not describe growth in fiber-product revenue or improvement in its margin. Fiber products represented 94.14% of main-business revenue; this percentage has a different denominator from consolidated revenue. The passage supplies neither grade-level margins nor a price-volume bridge.
