BEIJING, Aug. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hollysys Automation Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: HOLI) ("Hollysys" or the "Company"), a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fiscal year 2016 and the fourth quarter ended on June 30, 2016 (see attached tables). The management of Hollysys, stated:

In fiscal year 2016, we kept a steady revenue growth and outperformed the challenging earnings guidance that announced previously, as well as cash flow, despite a difficulty in macro economy. When we delighted the achievements, we calmly evaluated the future opportunities and challenges, and also carefully planned for the future growth. Here we would like to discuss the achievements in the past fiscal year and strategies in future:

In industrial automation, the soft performance was mainly because of the influence of general economic environment. During the past fiscal year, China continued adjusting its industry structure and reducing the capacity in some industries such as petrochemical, metallurgy and building materials. However, Hollysys took several strategies to mitigate the impact of market headwinds. We gained more market share from rising industries to make up the loss from decreasing industries. We were doing well in power and chemical which took up the largest portion of our revenue in industrial automation; we further penetrated into high-end market. For instance, we won several bids to provide DCS for supercritical coal fire generating units, such as Funeng Luoyuanwan 2X1052MW, Jiujiang Shenhua 2X1052MW, Guohua Ningdong 2X660MW and Xinjiang TBEA 2X660MW power units. In nuclear sector, we supplied DCS for Hongyanhe 5# and 6# units. In addition, after-sale revenue was still reinforced for fiscal year 2016. With our special team kept reviewing existing customers, the demand of upgrade and maintenance continued growing. Besides, Company has actively expanded in abroad. We signed some contracts which delivered our own proprietary products in overseas market. In India, for example, Lanco Solar Power Polycrystalline Silicon Project will be implemented our DCS and SIS. Indonesia Qingshan 2X350MW Coal-fire Power Units will use our DCS and DEH. We will continue to win more customers and enlarge overseas business scale to support long-term growth of IA. In factory automation sector of IA, we are changing the strategy from providing single products to providing customized turnkey solutions, like what we are doing in the process control to help the customers solve their problems and satisfy their needs. We expect this sector has a good performance in the near future.

The performance of railway transportation was prominent. In high-speed rail sector, we won some contracts to provide the Train Control Centers ("TCC") and other related ground based products, such as Chongqing to Wanzhou Line and Xi'an to Chengdu Line; we also won several contracts in Automatic Train Protection ("ATP"). In the future, according to the new five year plan and even longer, the investment scale of central government in high speed rail will be still sizable. At the same time, track circuit has finished the second test in June 2016. This new product could make revenue contribution in upcoming years.

Another strong driver of railway transportation sector for this fiscal year was subway business. We signed the contracts to provide SCADA system for Qingdao Line R3, Kunming Line 3, Chengdu Line 10, Lanzhou Line 1, Wuhan Line 8, etc. We will continue working closely with local subway authorities to expand our SCADA business for better marketing our subway signaling control system.

In the mechanical and electrical solution segment, although Concord and Bond are facing some difficulties like projects delayed and the depreciation of local currency, they are still working hard to expand their businesses. Concord, for example, signed a very large contract to provide electrical installation services for Doha Metro Phase 1. As one of the strategies to expand the overseas market, we will ensure a healthy development of Concord and Bond and take use of the advantages of these two companies such as good customer relations and sales channels to ink more international opportunities.

Non-GAAP Measures

In evaluating our results, the non-GAAP measures of "Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses", "Non-GAAP net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd. stockholders", "Non-GAAP basic earnings per share", and "Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share" serve as additional indicators of our operating performance and not as a replacement for other measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as they exclude the non-cash share-based compensation expenses, which is calculated based on the number of shares or options granted and the fair value as of the grant date, amortization of acquired intangible assets, fair value adjustments of acquisition-related consideration, and fair value adjustments of a bifurcated derivative. They will not result in any cash inflows or outflows. We believe that using non-GAAP measures help our shareholders to have a better understanding of our operating results and growth prospects. In addition, given the business nature of the Company, it has been a common practice for investors to use such non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company.

The following table provides a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures for the periods indicated:
