Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We closed a challenging 2022 with satisfactory results as we delivered strong operational and financial performance in the fourth quarter. Leveraging our outstanding global supply chain management and marketing network, our total shipments and total revenue increased significantly year over year. At the end of 2022, we became the first in the industry to reach the milestone of delivering a total of 130GW solar modules. Throughout the year, as raw material costs continued to rise, we continued to optimize our cost structure relentlessly through technical advancement and manufacturing process improvement, which partially relieved the pressure on profitability. Annual shipments of high-efficiency premium N-type products exceeded 10 GW, further optimizing our product mix and gradually improving our profitability. Net income was approximately US$102.9million, up 29.1% sequentially, and nearly tripling year-over-year.

Throughout 2022, the growth in demand for solar products did not slow down despite the compounded challenges in the industry such as the surge in raw material costs, pandemic disruption and macroeconomic uncertainties. In particular, the energy crisis triggered by the Russia-Ukraine conflict caused prices of traditional energy to rise quickly and PV remained the optimum solution for countries to achieve energy transformation, because of its low-carbon footprint and economic advantages. Global PV demand in 2022 was approximately 320GWdc to 330GWdc, up about 50% year-over-year. Even in the more price-sensitive Chinese market, newly added installations grew by 59.3% year over year to reach 87.4 GWac (approximately 105GWdc), and distributed installations grew by nearly 75% year over year.

At the end of December, because of a seasonal unbalance between polysilicon supply and demand for PV products, combined with inventory adjustments across the supply chain, prices of polysilicon, wafers, cells and modules fluctuated, and this volatility led some downstream customers to pause orders. Since February 2022, polysilicon prices have rebounded and pricing games between the upstream and downstream of the solar industrial chain have to some extent impacted market sentiment. With polysilicon supply sufficient to support module demand throughout 2023, we believe the short-term rise in polysilicon prices will not last and instead a decline in polysilicon prices will drive down module prices and improve the economics of PV projects. We expect the market demand for PV products to continue to increase in 2023.

During the fourth quarter, as the industrial chain remained volatile, we continued to enhance operation management including strictly controlling inventories and flexibly adjusting production scheduling and volumes. The second phase of 8 GW TOPCon cell capacity in Hefei reached full production in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the second phase of 11 GW TOPCon cell capacity in Jianshan is expected to reach full production in March 2023. With our 35 GW of cell capacity gradually reaching full production, our integrated capacity structure continues to optimize, which will lower our blended costs.

In December, our high-efficiency N-Type monocrystalline silicon solar cell set a new record with maximum conversion efficiency of 26.4%. At the end of 2022, the mass-produced efficiency of our TOPCon cell capacity that has reached full production reached 25.1%, bringing the integrated cost of N-type products almost on par with P-type products. We are a preferred supplier of N-type products for global clients thanks to our well-established global marketing footprint and technological advantage. At the end of 2022, we became the first module manufacturer in the world to ship over 10 GW of N-type products. Our strategy to embrace N-type technology early and lead its development is paying off and many industry players are now following in our path. Leveraging our accumulated experience in mass production and marketing, the proportion of our N-type shipments of our total module shipments is expected to further increase in 2023. We are confident that we will maintain our leading position in terms of R&D, mass-produced efficiency and production capacity.

By the end of 2023, mass production efficiency of TOPCon cells is expected to reach 25.8%.We are optimistic about the growth potential for the PV market in the mid- and long-term and will continue to invest in developing N-type capacity which is now competitive in terms of technology and cost. By the end of 2023, we expect our annual production capacity for mono wafers, solar cells and solar modules to reach 75GW, 75GW and 90GW, respectively. We expect our module shipments to be in the range of 11.0 GW to 13.0 GW for the first quarter of 2023 and 60.0 GW to 70.0 GW for the full year 2023."
