JinkoSolar Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

 

08/14/2023

 

SHANGRAO, China, Aug. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

 

Second Quarter 2023 Business Highlights

 

Leveraging our outstanding global supply chain management, high quality products and extensive marketing network, module shipments in the second quarter increased 36.2% sequentially and 74.4% year-over-year.
Demand for solar modules is strong globally. Our orderbook visibility for 2023 has reached about 80%, with overseas orders as the major contributor.
N-type module shipments in the second quarter were about 10.4 GW, making JinkoSolar the first module company in the industry to deliver 10 GW of N-type modules in a single quarter.
The mass production efficiency of N-type TOPCon cells reached 25.5%, and power output of N-type modules reached about 580wp, 25-30wp higher than that of the same version of P-type modules.
We are optimistic that the stabilization of prices along the supply chain will stimulate pent-up demand gradually. We raise our module shipment guidance for 2023 to be in the range of 70 to 75 GW.

 

Second Quarter 2023 Operational and Financial Highlights

 

Quarterly shipments were 18,613 MW (17,763 MW for solar modules, and 850 MW for cells and wafers), up 28.5% sequentially, and up 76.7% year-over-year.
Total revenues were RMB30.69 billion (US$4.23 billion), up 31.5% sequentially and up 62.9% year-over-year.
Gross profit was RMB4.78 billion (US$659.6 million), up 18.4% sequentially and up 72.5% year-over-year.
Gross margin was 15.6%, compared with 17.3% in Q1 2023 and 14.7% in Q2 2022.
Net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders was RMB1.31 billion (US$180.1 million), compared with net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB788.7 million in Q1 2023 and net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB623.3 million in Q2 2022.
Adjusted net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders, which excludes the impact from (i) a change in fair value of the convertible senior notes (the "Notes"), (ii) a change in fair value of long-term investment and (iii) the share based compensation expenses, was RMB1.43 billion (US$196.7 million), compared with RMB836.4 million in Q1 2023 and RMB368.4 million in Q2 2022.
Basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share were RMB6.39 (US$0.88) and RMB5.55 (US$0.77), respectively. This translates into basic and diluted earnings per ADS of RMB25.54 (US$3.52) and RMB22.20 (US$3.06), respectively.

 

Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report solid growth as we overcame volatility in supply chain prices and end demand thanks to our excellent marketing network, high quality products, and highly effective supply chain management. Module shipments in the second quarter were approximately 17.8 GW, up 36.2% sequentially. Shipments of the competitive N-type module were approximately 10.4 GW, up 74.1% sequentially, making us the first module manufacturer shipping 10 GW of N-type modules in a single quarter globally. Our efforts in supply chain management, technology advancement and process improvement also improved our profitability. Net income was US$180.1 million in the second quarter, up 65.6% sequentially. Adjusted net income was US$196.7 million, up 70.5% sequentially. Diluted earnings per ordinary share were US$0.77, up 48.5% sequentially.

 

Due to the substantial release of polysilicon production volumes and excessive inventory, price of polysilicon declined sharply in the second quarter, resulting in certain volatility in module prices and a slow-down in customer orders, affecting module demand. As the prices in lower supply chain stabilized in the third quarter, domestic customers started to place orders, and major projects were initiated and started construction in China. The low prices of modules also led to a surge in module demand in some overseas markets. We expect production and sales in the PV market to rebound in the second half of 2023.

 

With more and more players deploying TOPCon production capacity, N-type TOPCon is certain to become the mainstream technology in the industry. However, some new entrants experienced project delays and slower-than expected ramp up in production volume and efficiency due to lack of sufficient technical know-how and differences in technology and production process, keeping competitive N-type production in short supply. As of the end of the second quarter, the mass-produced efficiency of our 182 mm N-type TOPCon cells had reached 25.5%, with N-type module power output of around 580 wp, 25-30 wp more than P-type module of the same version. We expect mass-produced N-type cell efficiency to reach 25.8%, by the end of 2023. The integrated cost of N-type module remained competitive compared to P-type module.

 

At the end of May, we announced the construction of a major production base of 56 GW integrated wafer-cell-module capacity in Shanxi ("Shanxi Integrated Base"), which will become the largest N-type integrated production facility in the industry. Shanxi Integrated Base is another strategic expansion of the production model championed by JinkoSolar in the PV industry that will fully demonstrate our advantages in highly efficient technology and products, lower investment costs, greater operational efficiency as well as intelligent and smart manufacturing capabilities. Meanwhile, our 1 GW capacity expansion project for N-type modules in the U.S. is expected to start production in September 2023. We have established an industry-leading overseas industrial chain network, with integrated production capabilities from wafer and cell to module, with traceability and excellent product competitiveness. As we continue to invest in N-type capacity expansion overseas in the second half of 2023, we expect to reach an integrated production capacity of over 12 GW overseas by the end of 2023, with the production capacity of N-type accounting for over 75%.

 

We are optimistic that demand will grow as prices stabilize and raise our module shipment guidance for 2023 to be in the range of 70 to 75 GW, with N-type module accounting for approximately 60% of total module shipments. As demand for N-type products continues to increase in the global market, we will move on to invest in N-type capacity which is competitive both in technology and costs. We expect our annual production capacity for mono wafers, solar cells and solar modules to reach 85.0 GW, 90.0 GW and 110.0 GW, respectively, by the end of 2023, with N-type capacity accounting for over 75% of the total capacity. We expect module shipments to be in the range of 19.0 to 21.0 GW for the third quarter of 2023."

Gross margin was 15.6% in the second quarter of 2023, compared with 17.3% in the first quarter of 2023 and 14.7% in the second quarter of 2022. The sequential decrease was mainly due to the increase in inventory provision, and year-over-year increase was mainly due to the decrease in the cost of raw materials.

 

Income from Operations and Operating Margin

 

Income from operations in the second quarter of 2023 was RMB1.54 billion (US$212.1 million), compared with income from operations of RMB1.21 billion in the first quarter of 2023 and loss from operations of RMB289.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. The changes were primarily attributable to a significant increase in our revenues in the second quarter of 2023.

 

Operating profit margin was 5.0% in the second quarter of 2023, compared with operating profit margin of 5.2% in the first quarter of 2023 and operating loss margin of 1.5% in the second quarter of 2022.

 

Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2023 were RMB3.24 billion (US$447.4 million), an increase of 14.7% from RMB2.83 billion in the first quarter of 2023 and an increase of 6.0% from RMB3.06 billion in the second quarter of 2022. The sequential and year-over-year increases were mainly attributable to an increase in impairment loss on property, plant and equipment.

 

Total operating expenses accounted for 10.6% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2023, compared to 12.1% in the first quarter of 2023 and 16.2% in the second quarter of 2022.

 

Interest Expenses, Net

 

Net interest expenses in the second quarter of 2023 were RMB208.5 million (US$28.7 million), an increase of 276.3% from RMB55.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 and an increase of 136.8% from RMB88.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. The sequential and the year-over-year increases were mainly due to a decrease in interest income.

 

Subsidy Income

 

Subsidy income in the second quarter of 2023 was RMB292.4 million (US$40.3 million), compared with RMB264.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB464.8 million in the second quarter of 2022. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to the changes in the cash receipt of subsidies from local governments in China which are non-recurring, not refundable and with no conditions.

 

Exchange Gain/Loss and Change in Fair Value of Foreign Exchange Derivatives

 

The Company recorded a net exchange gain (including change in fair value of foreign exchange derivatives) of RMB916.4 million (US$126.4 million) in the second quarter of 2023, compared to a net exchange loss of RMB73.7 million in the first quarter of 2023 and a net exchange gain of RMB221.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to the exchange rate fluctuation of US dollars against RMB in the second quarter of 2023.

 

Change in Fair Value of Convertible Senior Notes

 

The Company issued US$85.0 million of 4.5% convertible senior notes due 2024 in May 2019 and has elected to measure the Notes at fair value derived by valuation model, i.e. Binomial Model.

The changes were primarily due to the changes in the Company's stock price in the second quarter of 2023.

 

Change in Fair Value of Long-term Investment

 

The Company invested in certain equity interests in several solar technology companies engaged in photovoltaic industry chain, which are recorded as long-term investment and reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had RMB1.09 billion (US$149.8 million) in long-term investment, compared with RMB1.08 billion as of March 31, 2023.

 

The Company recognized a gain from change in fair value of RMB2.3 million (US$0.3 million) in the second quarter of 2023, compared with a gain of RMB440.4 million in the first quarter of 2023.

 

Equity in Earnings of Affiliated Companies

 

The Company indirectly holds a 20% equity interest in Sweihan PV Power Company P.J.S.C, a developer and operator of solar power projects in Dubai, and a 9% equity interest in Xinte Ltd, a domestic silicon material supplier, and both are accounted for using the equity method. The Company recorded equity in gain of affiliated companies of RMB63.3 million(US$8.7 million) in the second quarter of 2023, compared with gain of RMB180.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 and loss of RMB0.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. The fluctuation of equity in gain of affiliated companies primarily arose from the net gain incurred by an affiliate company.

 

Income Tax Expense
