Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to have achieved very impressive operational and financial results in a challenging year by leveraging our advantages in N-type TOPCon technology, global operations and integrated capability. Module shipments for the full year increased 76.4% year-over-year to 78.5 GW, back to the top position in the industry. Benefiting from our efforts in cost optimization, our profitability for the full year significantly improved year-over-year, with gross margin at 16.0%, compared to 14.8% in 2022. Net income was US$485.6 million, up 4.56 times year-over-year. Adjusted net income was US$573.6 million, up 1.93 times year-over-year. Module shipment in the fourth quarter was 26.3GW, exceeding our guidance. As module prices fell more than expected in the fourth quarter and nearly 50% of our modules were sold to the Chinese market at lower prices, gross margin for the fourth quarter decreased significantly to 12.5% from 19.3% in the third quarter.

Thanks to our integrated manufacturing strategy and early leading position in N-type TOPCon technology, by the end of the fourth quarter, our N-type capacity exceeded 70 GW and our cost structure continues to improve. Currently, our mass-produced N-type cell efficiency exceeds 26%, while the integrated cost of N-type is almost on par with that of P-type. With the continuous introduction of new cell technologies and optimization of production processes, our cost structure is expected to become more competitive.

We have the largest overseas integrated capacity of over 12 GW in the industry and an effective supply chain traceability system. This has made us the most reliable module supplier to the U.S. market and expect to generate significant profit in 2024. Phase I and II of our integrated project in Shanxi, China will start production gradually in the first half of 2024, as planned, and ramp up in the second half of 2024. This innovative production model relying on fully integrated automation will greatly improve efficiency in labor and operational processes and is expected to bring a significant reduction in operating costs once we reach full production.

Taking into account supply chain and market conditions, we are reducing investments in capacity expansion in 2024. We are focusing on expanding our advanced N-type capacity, including 28 GW of integrated capacity in our Shanxi plant in China and about 4 GW of N-type cell and module capacity in Vietnam.

We expect the decline in module prices to significantly improve the economics of solar energy industry in the short-to-mid-term, and we anticipate demand in the global PV market to continue to increase in 2024. Meanwhile, rapid iterations of new technologies and the elimination of obsolete production capacity will also accelerate the consolidation of the industry. Market share for the top 10 module manufacturers is expected to increase from approximately 70% in 2023 to over 90% in 2024. We are confident to successfully navigate through cyclical fluctuations in the PV industry and we expect our market share to further increase in 2024.

We attach great importance to intellectual property rights and are fully focused on sustaining our technical leadership based on extensive intellectual property rights. As of December 31, 2023, we had been granted 330 TOPCon patents, one of the largest portfolios of granted TOPCon patents in the world.

We expect module shipments to be in the range of 18 GW to 20 GW for the first quarter of 2024, and 100 GW to 110 GW for the full year 2024, with N-type accounting for nearly 90% of total module shipments. We expect our annual production capacity for mono wafers, solar cells and solar modules to reach 120 GW, 110 GW and 130 GW, respectively, by the end of 2024, with N-type capacity accounting for over 90% of total capacity. By then, we believe mass-produced N-type cell efficiency will have reached 26.5%."
