China Xiniya Fashion Limited Announces 2013 Fall/Winter Sales Fair Results -- XIAMEN, China, June 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- XIAMEN, China, June 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- China Xiniya Fashion Limited ("Xiniya" or the "Company" NYSE: XNY), a leading provider of men's business casual apparel in China, today announced that the total value of purchase orders for its 2013 Fall and Winter Collection showcased during its biannual sales fair held on April 15, 2013 in Xiamen, China decreased by 5.5% compared to the total value of purchase orders placed last spring. Xiniya exhibited over 2,000 new products during the week-long sales fair, including apparel, shoes, bags and accessories, for distributors and authorized retailers to select from based on each store's location, climate and local consumer taste. Delivery of the orders is expected to take place during the second half of 2013. While the Company's total order value decreased as compared to last year, the total order volume increased by 8.8%. In its continuing effort to ensure the long-term, sustainable development of its authorized retail outlets, Xiniya reduced the recommended retail price on its 2013 Fall and Winter Collection by an average of 2.3% to improve the price competiveness of its products. As a result, the Company's gross margin will be negatively impacted by approximately 2.3%. This move is expected to improve product turnover for authorized retail outlets and reduce both existing and new inventories in the authorized retail channels. "I am pleased to see the initiatives we put in place last year begin to show some positive impact as the total order volume increased 8.8% as compared with last year," stated Mr. Qiming Xu , Xiniya's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The increase in volume reflects the support we are providing to our distributors to overcome the short-term difficulties posed by the challenging economic environment in China, such as increasing sales rebates and extending their credit period. We offer a compelling new collection which I believe will help promote our design concept of business travel apparel that is suitable for all occasions and will attract new customers. With the menswear industry in China continuing to show strong growth potential, we are confident that our strategy to expand our retail network and increase brand recognition will continue to sustain long-term positive sales performance.
