China Shengda Packaging Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CPGI) ("Shengda" or the "Company"), a leading Chinese paper packaging company, today reported its financial results for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2013.
"2013 was another challenging year for the paper packaging industry as China's economy appeared to lose some steam in the past couple of years. This, combined with tightened credit environment, compelled many of our customers to put their expansion plans on hold, and therefore, our ability to grow our paper carton business. Despite these challenges, we grew our revenues by 7.1% to $134.2 million with the paper mill at our Shuangsheng subsidiary, generating $18.5 million in sales which offset the slight decline in our paper carton business," commented Mr. Daliang Teng, Chief Executive Officer of Shengda, "Looking ahead, as the central government starts to induce a transition from the pursuit of pure GDP growth to more sustainable and quality economic growth, we believe the outlook for the paper packaging industry remains tempered in the near term. However, as we continue focusing on growing our business through both vertical integration and geographical expansion, we are confident of the long-term growth prospect of our business."

Our paper mill generated $18.5 million revenues from corrugating medium paper with sales volume of 51.5 thousand tons and average selling price of $359 per ton.

Selling expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 13.7%, to $5.8 million for the year of 2013 from $5.1 million for the year of 2012.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 4.7%, to $11.5 million for the year of 2013 from $11.0 million for the year of 2012.
