TAIZHOU, China, Mar. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- China SXT Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:SXTC), a specialty pharmaceutical company focusing on the
research, development, manufacture, marketing and sales of Traditional Chinese Medicine Pieces ("TCMPs"), today announced
its financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2018.

50% for the first time in our history, marking a major milestone for the Company. As one of first companies to produce and
market TCMP products in the Chinese market, we believe that advanced TCMP stands for the biggest opportunity for us to separate
from the pack and to capture our fair share of the steadily growing TCMP market in the long run. We expect the advanced TCMP
segment to continue to drive our top- and bottom- line growths and margins expansion in the foreseeable future."

We generated revenues primarily from manufacture
and sales of three types of traditional Chinese medicine pieces (the "TCMP") products: Advanced TCMP, Fine TCMP and
Regular TCMP. For the six months ended September 30, 2018, total revenues increased by $0.03 million, or 0.7%, to $3.92 million
from $3.89 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in total revenues was primarily due to increase in
sales of advanced TCMP products that were mostly offset by the decrease in the sales of regular TCMP products.
Advanced TCMP is comprised of 7 Directly
Oral TCMP products (the "Directly-Oral-TCMP") and 6 After-soaking-oral TCMP products (the "After-Soaking-Oral-TCMP").
Both Directly Oral TCMP and After-soaking-oral TCMP are new types of advanced TCMP. Sales of advanced TCMP products increased
by $1.15 million, or 117.1%, to $2.12 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018 from $0.98 million for the same period
of the prior fiscal year. The increase in sales of advanced TCMP products was due to increases in both sales volume and average
We currently manufacture 426 regular
TCMP products listed on China Pharmacopoeia (version 2015) Part I for hospitals and drug store in treatment of various diseases
or serving as dietary supplements. Sales of regular TCMP products decreased by $1.07 million, or 39.9%, to $1.62 million for the
six months ended September 30, 2018 from $2.69 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in sales of
regular TCMP products was primarily related to one single customer.
We currently produce over 20 fine
TCMP products for drug stores and hospitals. Our fine TCMP products are manufactured manually from only high-quality authentic
ingredients derived from their region of origin. Sales of fine TCMP products decreased by $0.05 million, or 20.3%, to $0.18 million
for the six months ended September 30, 2018 from $0.22 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. In order to promote
market acceptance of higher priced fine TCMP products, the Company lowered the selling prices for fine TCMP products, however the
sales volume did not pick up accordingly, resulting in the decreased sales of fine TCMP products.
Sales of advanced TCMP, fine TCMP ad regular
TCMP products accounted for 54.2%, 4.5%, and 41.3% of total revenues, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2018,
compared to 25.2%, 5.6%, and 69.2%, of total revenues, respectively, for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Cost of revenues primarily include cost
of materials, direct labors, overhead, and other related incidental expenses that are directly attributable to the Company's
principal operations. Total cost of goods sold decreased by $0.99 million, or 44.5%, to $1.24 million for the six months ended
September 30, 2018 from $2.23 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in cost of revenues was primarily
due to increased sales of higher margin advanced TCMP products, decrease in purchase price of some key raw materials, as well as
savings in labor costs.
Gross profit increased by $1.02 million,
or 61.6%, to $2.68 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018 from $1.66 million for the same period of the prior fiscal
year. Gross margin was 68.4% for the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 42.6% for the same period of the prior fiscal
Selling expenses primarily consisted of
transportation, sales staff payroll, welfare expenses, travelling expenses, advertisement and promotion expenses, and distribution
expenses. For the six months ended September 30, 2018, selling expenses increased by $0.62 million, or 285.4%, to $0.84 million
from $0.22 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in selling expenses was primarily due to the combined
effect of an increase of $0.23 million in distribution expenses as our new clients are more remote and an increase of $0.34 million
in advertisement and promotion expenses.
General and administrative
expenses primarily consisted of staff payroll and welfare expenses, entertainment expenses, travelling expenses, depreciation
and amortization expenses for administrative purposes, and office supply expenses. For the six months ended September 30,
2018, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.12 million, or 30.4%, to $0.51 million from $0.39 million for the
same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in general and administrative expenses was related to an increase of $0.07
million in research and development expense and an increase of $0.04 million in intermediate service charge.
As a result, total operating expenses increased
by $0.74 million, or 121.1%, to $1.35 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018 from $0.61 million for the same period
of the prior fiscal year.
Operating income increased by $0.28 million,
or 26.8%, to $1.33 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018 from $1.05 million for the same period of the prior fiscal
year. Operating margin was 33.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 26.9% for the same period of the prior
fiscal year. The increase in operating margin was primarily due to increase in gross margin and partially offset by increase in
operating expenses as a percentage of revenues.
