JinkoSolar Announces Second Quarter 2010 Results

Revenues, Gross Margin and Net Income Reached Historical Highs;

Increased Vertical Integration Drove Down Average Cost

SHANGHAI, China, August 16, 2010 – JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (“JinkoSolar” or the “Company”) (NYSE: JKS), a fast-growing solar product manufacturer with low-cost operations based in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Second Quarter 2010 Highlights

 

 

Total solar product shipments were a record 99.9 megawatts (“MW”), compared to 83.0 MW in the first quarter of 2010 and 34.4 MW in the second quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 20.4% sequentially and 190.4% year-over-year.

 

 

Total revenues were a record RMB900.6 million (US$132.8 million), an increase of 64.1% sequentially and 307.1% year-over-year.

 

 

Gross profit margin was a record 26.9%, compared to 23.7% for the first quarter of 2010 and 6.7% for the second quarter of 2009.

 

 

Net income was a record RMB180.7 million (US$26.6 million) (including a gain of RMB74.6 million (US$11.0 million) as a result of a change in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contract derivatives), an increase of 146.2% sequentially and 4,202.4% year-over-year.

 

 

Fully diluted earnings per share were RMB2.36 (US$0.35), compared to RMB0.84 in the first quarter of 2010, and a fully diluted loss per share of RMB0.63 in the second quarter of 2009.

 

 

Fully diluted earnings per American depositary share (“ADS”) were RMB9.42 (US$1.39), compared to RMB3.37 in the first quarter of 2010, and a fully diluted loss per ADS of RMB2.51 in the second quarter of 2009.

 

 

The Company increased the vertical integration of its production process with annual silicon ingot, silicon wafer, solar cell and solar module production capacities reaching approximately 400 MW, 400 MW, 300 MW and 300 MW respectively.

“We are pleased to have delivered strong growth in the second quarter and are excited to report our financial results for the first time as a public company,” said Mr. Kangping Chen, JinkoSolar’s chief executive officer. “During the quarter we achieved record shipments of approximately 100 MW, expanded our annual silicon wafer production capacity to 400 MW and annual solar cell and solar module production capacities to 300 MW each and significantly increased the vertical integration of our production process, which will improve our control over our manufacturing processes and costs across the value chain. Furthermore, our listing on the New York Stock Exchange in May has enhanced our brand name and provided us with additional resources and the platform to strive toward becoming a leading global solar company. As we look forward into the second half of the year, we expect to continue our strong momentum and we are well positioned to meet our established objectives in 2010.”

Mr. Longgen Zhang, JinkoSolar’s chief financial officer, added, “We achieved excellent results this quarter across all financial metrics, with significant increases in total revenues and net income, as well as significantly improved margins across the board on sequential and year-over-year basis. With significantly increased vertical integration, we should be able to continue driving down our average non-silicon cost by capitalizing on economies of scale. Our competitive advantage in cost-effective manufacturing combined with the resources and proceeds from our IPO position us strongly as we look to become a leader in the solar industry.”


Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results

Total Revenues

Total revenues in the second quarter of 2010 were RMB900.6 million (US$132.8 million), an increase of 64.1% from RMB548.9 million in the first quarter of 2010 and 307.1% from RMB221.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. The increase in revenues was primarily due to increased global demand for solar products and a significant increase in the shipments of solar modules attributable to the Company’s enhanced sales and marketing campaigns.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2010 was RMB242.1 million (US$35.7 million), an increase of 86.5% from RMB129.8 million in the first quarter of 2010 and 537.1% from RMB38.0 million in the second quarter of 2009. Despite a decline in the average selling price of the Company’s solar modules, gross margin increased to 26.9% in the second quarter of 2010 from 23.7% in the first quarter of 2010 and 6.7% in the second quarter of 2009, mainly due to a decrease in average non-silicon cost as a result of the increased vertical integration of the Company’s production process.

Operating Profit and Operating Margin

Operating profit in the second quarter of 2010 was RMB150.7 million (US$22.2 million), an increase of 55.2% from RMB97.1 million in the first quarter of 2010 and 680.8% from RMB19.3 million in the second quarter of 2009. Operating margin in the second quarter of 2010 was 16.7%, compared to 17.7% in the first quarter of 2010 and 8.7% in the second quarter of 2009. Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2010 were RMB91.5 million (US$13.5 million), an increase of 179.8% from RMB32.7 million in the first quarter of 2010 and 386.7% from RMB18.8 million in the second quarter of 2009. The sequential increase in operating expenses was primarily due to share-based compensation expense of RMB16.1 million (US$2.4 million), which included accumulative expenses recognized upon the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and the expenses recognized in the second quarter of 2010. In addition, a specific provision for bad debt of RMB8.1 million (US$1.2 million) recognized for amounts due from a certain solar module customer, a significant increase in shipping and handling costs of RMB11.9 million and an increase of RMB11.0 million in materials used for research and development purposes in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2010 contributed to the increase in the operating expenses.

Change in Fair Value of Derivatives

The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts with local banks to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risks. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a gain of RMB74.6 million (US$11.0 million) from a change in the fair value of forward contract derivatives resulting from the depreciation of the Euro and U.S. dollar against Renminbi.

Income Tax Expense

The Company recognized a tax expense of RMB29.9 million (US$4.4 million) in the second quarter of 2010, compared to a tax expense of RMB12.0 million in the first quarter of 2010 and nil tax expense in the second quarter of 2009. The Company estimates a 14.2% tax rate for the full year of 2010.

Preferred Shares Accretion

Series A redeemable convertible preferred shares accretion and series B redeemable convertible preferred shares accretion were RMB10.4 million (US$1.5 million) in the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of 49.5% from RMB20.5 million in the first quarter of 2010 and 41.9% from RMB17.9 million in the second quarter of 2009. The Company incurred series A redeemable convertible preferred shares accretion and series B redeemable convertible preferred shares accretion before the completion of its IPO. Upon the completion of the Company’s IPO, all the series A redeemable convertible preferred shares and series B redeemable convertible preferred shares were converted into ordinary shares. As a result, the Company does not expect to incur such preferred shares accretion in the future.


Allocation to Preferred Shareholders

Allocation of net income to preferred shareholders was RMB5.1 million (US$0.7 million) in the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of 49.9% from RMB10.1 million in both the first quarter of 2010 and second quarter of 2009. The Company allocated net income to preferred shareholders before the completion of its IPO. Upon the completion of the Company’s IPO, all the series A redeemable convertible preferred shares and series B redeemable convertible preferred shares were converted into ordinary shares. As a result, the Company does not expect to allocate net income to preferred shareholders in the future.

Net Income Attributable to Ordinary Shareholders and Earnings Per Share

Net income attributable to holders of ordinary shares in the second quarter of 2010 was RMB165.2 million (US$24.4 million), an increase of 286.0% from RMB42.8 million in the first quarter of 2010 and compared to a net loss attributable to holders of ordinary shares of RMB31.8 million in the second quarter of 2009.

Basic and diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2010 were RMB2.38 (US$0.35) and RMB2.36 (US$0.35), respectively, and basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB9.52 (US$1.40) and RMB9.42 (US$1.39), respectively. Each ADS represents four ordinary shares.

Financial Position

As of June 30, 2010, JinkoSolar had RMB553.1 million (US$81.6 million) in cash and restricted cash, compared to RMB225.3 million as of December 31, 2009. The significant increase in cash and restricted cash was primarily due to the Company’s IPO proceeds of approximately RMB400.6 million (US$59.1 million). The Company generated positive operating cash flows of RMB25.9 million (US$3.8 million) in the second quarter of 2010.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s working capital balance was RMB281.6 million (US$41.5 million) and total short-term bank borrowings including the current portion of long-term bank borrowings were RMB756.5 million (US$111.6 million), as compared to RMB576.1 million of total short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2009. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had total long-term borrowings of RMB349.0 million (US$51.5 million). The Company’s long-term bank borrowings are to be repaid in instalments until their maturities in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2010 were RMB227.8 million (US$33.6 million), primarily for the addition of new silicon ingot, silicon wafer, solar cell and solar module manufacturing equipments.

Second Quarter 2010 Operational Results

Recent Business Highlights

 

 

In July 2010, the Company signed an agreement with Enfinity Asia Pacific Limited to supply 24 MW of solar modules in the second half of 2010.

 

 

During the quarter, the Company became the exclusive module supplier to Tozzi Renewable Energy for its 35 MW ground-mounted solar power plant in Emilia Romagna, Italy.

 

 

During the quarter, the Company entered into agreements with two blue-chip customers in Germany to deliver 60 MW of solar modules in 2010.


Solar Product Shipments

Total solar product shipments in the second quarter of 2010 increased by 20.4% from the first quarter of 2010 and 190.4% from the second quarter of 2009. Total solar product shipments in the second quarter of 2010 were 99.9 MW, consisting of 29.6 MW of silicon wafers, 16.0 MW of solar cells and 54.3 MW of solar modules. By comparison, total shipments for the first quarter of 2010 were 83.0 MW, consisting of 53.4 MW of silicon wafers, 19.4 MW of solar cells, and 10.2 MW of solar modules. The significant increase in solar module shipments and decrease in silicon wafer shipments in the second quarter of 2010 reflected the implementation of the Company’s strategy to transition from a silicon wafer manufacturer to a leading vertically integrated solar module manufacturer.

Increased Integration and Capacity Expansion of Solar Products

In the second quarter of 2010, the Company expanded annual solar cell and solar module manufacturing capacities from approximately 200 MW each as of March 31, 2010 to approximately 300 MW each as of June 30, 2010 and increased its vertical integration.

New Overseas Subsidiaries

On April 1, 2010, the Company established a subsidiary, JinkoSolar GmbH, in Munich, Germany, to facilitate the development of JinkoSolar’s European business. The Company expects to establish a new subsidiary in San Francisco, California, USA, during the third quarter of 2010 to facilitate the development of its business in the United States.

Operations and Business Outlook

Third Quarter 2010 Guidance

For the third quarter of 2010, JinkoSolar expects total solar product shipments to be in the range of 100 MW to 110 MW with module shipments expected to be between 65 MW to 70 MW. Total revenues are expected to be in the range of US$145 million to US$155 million.

The Company expects to increase its in-house annual silicon ingot, silicon wafer, solar cell and solar module production capacities to approximately 400 MW, 400 MW, 300 MW and 400 MW, respectively, by the third quarter of 2010.

Full Year 2010 Guidance

The Company expects its full year 2010 total solar product shipments to be in the range of 395 MW to 415 MW with module shipments expected to be between 195 MW to 205 MW. The Company expects full year 2010 revenues to be in the range of US$500 million to US$525 million.

The Company expects to expand its annual silicon ingot, silicon wafer, solar cell and solar module production capacities to approximately 500 MW each by the end of 2010.
