·Diluted loss per share for the full year 2011 was RMB1.23 (US$0.20) because of the impact of the dilutive effect of convertible senior notes and share options. This compares with diluted earnings per share of RMB10.92 for the full year 2010.
·Diluted loss per ADS for the full year 2011 was RMB4.92 (US$0.78), compared with diluted earnings per ADS of RMB43.69 for the full year 2010.

“Despite a challenging fourth quarter of 2011 for both our company and the industry as a whole, we remain confident in our ability to take advantage of our vertically integrated business model as we continue improving on the efficiency of our production process and generate value for our shareholders over the long term,” commented Mr. Kangping Chen, JinkoSolar’s chief executive officer. “Our gross margin continued to be affected by declining average selling prices (“ASPs”), which continued to fall faster than we anticipated and added pressure to an already uncertain global economic environment. Although the price of polysilicon and other auxiliary materials also fell, the decline was not sufficient to offset our lower ASPs.”

 

“In the face of these challenges in the fourth quarter of 2011, we still managed to finish the year with record annual shipments of 950.5 MW, a 97.9% increase from 2010. We continued to maintain strong relationships with our customers in key markets such as Italy, Germany and Eastern Europe. While the outlook for Europe remains weak, we invested heavily in our support network throughout the region in order to continue to build our brand. We opened a new office in France to expand our market presence there, and we also continued to diversify our business outside of Europe with the recent opening of new offices in Canada and Australia. In addition, our efforts to further broaden our geographic footprint to new emerging markets such as China, India, Ukraine and Bulgaria helped us generate better returns and reduce our reliance on European sales.”

 

“As we look forward, we believe that the long term growth prospects for the solar market remain promising as industry consolidation accelerates. Our optimistic outlook is rooted in our belief that module demand around the world will eventually emerge from its current lows in the second half of this year. Our strong balance sheet, growing brand recognition, competitive cost structure and diverse geographic presence leave us well positioned once the industry starts to rebound.”

 

Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Results

 

Total Revenues

 

Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2011 were RMB1.2 billion (US$190.4 million), a decrease of 32.7% from RMB1.8 billion in the third quarter of 2011 and a decrease of 32.2% from RMB1.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010. The sequential decrease in revenues was primarily due to an industry-wide decline in ASPs of solar products and a decrease in sales volume of solar modules during the fourth quarter of 2011.

Gross Profit / (Loss) and Gross Margin

 

Gross loss in the fourth quarter of 2011 was RMB52.3 million (US$8.3million), compared with gross profit of RMB66.0 million in the third quarter of 2011 and gross profit of RMB503.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

Gross margin was negative 4.4% in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared with positive 3.7% in the third quarter of 2011 and positive 28.5% in the fourth quarter of 2010. The sequential and year-over-year decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a decline in ASPs of solar modules, which was partially offset by the decline in price of polysilicon and auxiliary materials and improvements in operating efficiency.

 

In-house gross margin relating to the Company’s in-house silicon wafer, solar cell and solar module production was 5.8% in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with 18.4% in the third quarter of 2011 and 34.7% in the fourth quarter of 2010. The decline was primarily because ASPs of solar modules fell more rapidly than the price of polysilicon and auxiliary materials.

 

Income / (Loss) from Operations and Operating Margin

 

Loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2011 was RMB316.1 million (US$50.2 million), compared with loss from operations of RMB197.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 and income from operations of RMB362.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2011 was negative 26.4%, compared with negative 11.1% in the third quarter of 2011 and positive 20.5% in the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2011 were RMB263.8 million (US$41.9 million), an increase of 0.2% from RMB263.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 and an increase of 87.5% from RMB140.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Excluding non-cash charge for an impairment of goodwill, operating expenses would be RMB218.2 million (US$ 34.7 million), compared with RMB263.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 and RMB140.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.The sequential decrease was primarily due to a decrease of RMB77.9 million (US$12.4 million) in a provision for bad debts from the third quarter of 2011, which was partially offset by an increase in professional service fees and sales and marketing expenses associated with the expansion of our global sales offices.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2011, due to the challenging solar market conditions and the significant reduction of the Company’s market capitalization since the second quarter of 2011, the Company recognized an impairment of goodwill of RMB45.6 million (US$7.3 million) related to the acquisition of equity interest in Zhejiang Jinko, an operating subsidiary of the Company, in 2009.

 

Excluding non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill, operating expenses represented 18.2% of total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase from 14.8% in the third quarter of 2011 and an increase from 8.0% in the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

Interest Expense, Net

 

Net interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2011 was RMB53.1 million (US$8.4 million), an increase of 7.2% from RMB49.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 and an increase of 145.3% from RMB21.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The sequential increase in net interest expense was primarily attributable to the first full quarter of interest expense incurred by the Company on the unsecured one-year short-term bonds with an aggregate principal amount of RMB400 million issued in July 2011 with an annual interest rate of 6.5%.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss)

 

The Company recorded a foreign currency exchange loss of RMB28.3 million (US$4.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2011, primarily due to a foreign currency exchange loss of RMB60.8 million (US$9.7 million), partially offset by a gain in the change in fair value of forward contracts of RMB32.5 million (US$5.2 million), both of which were due to the depreciation of the Euro and U.S. dollar against the RMB. By comparison, we had net exchange loss of RMB8.6 million in the third quarter of 2011.

 

Change in Fair Value of Convertible Senior Notes and Capped Call Options

 

The Company recognized a change in fair value of convertible senior notes and capped call options of RMB8.7 million (US$1.4 million) due to a gain from the change in fair value of convertible senior notes and capped call options.

 

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

 

The Company recognized a tax benefit of RMB18.0 million (US$2.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with a tax expense of RMB1.0 million in the third quarter of 2011 and a tax expense of RMB66.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2011 was primarily due to the reversal of income tax expenses from previous quarters in connection with the net loss incurred in the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

Net Income (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2011 was RMB366.6 million (US$58.3 million), compared with a net income of RMB68.1 million in the third quarter of 2011 and a net income of RMB368.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

Basic and diluted loss per share was RMB4.06 (US$0.65) in the fourth quarter of 2011. Basic and diluted loss per ADS was RMB16.24 (US$2.58) in the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

Non-GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter of 2011 was RMB370.8 million (US$58.9 million), compared with non-GAAP net loss of RMB247.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 and non-GAAP net income of RMB368.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

Non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per share in the fourth quarter of 2011 was RMB4.10 (US$0.65), non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per ADS was RMB16.40 (US$2.61) in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), JinkoSolar uses certain non-GAAP financial measures including, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) Per Share, non-GAAP earnings (loss) per ADS and non-GAAP diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding, which are adjusted from the comparable GAAP results to exclude certain expenses or incremental ordinary shares relating to convertible senior notes and capped call options:

 

lNon-GAAP net income (loss) is adjusted to exclude the expenses relating to the issuance costs of convertible senior notes, changes in fair value of convertible senior notes and capped call options, interest expenses of convertible senior notes and exchange gain on the convertible senior notes and capped call options;

lNon-GAAP earnings (loss) per share and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per ADS are adjusted to exclude the expenses relating to the issuance costs of convertible senior notes, changes in fair value of convertible senior notes and capped call options, interest expenses of convertible senior notes and exchange gain on the convertible senior notes and capped call options as well as incremental shares for assumed conversions of convertible senior notes; and

lNon-GAAP diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding are adjusted to exclude incremental shares for assumed conversions of convertible senior notes.

 

The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP information is useful for analysts and investors to evaluate JinkoSolar’s current and future performances based on a more meaningful comparison of net income and diluted net income per ADS when compared with its peers and historical results from prior periods. These measures are not intended to represent or substitute numbers as measured under GAAP. The submission of non-GAAP numbers is voluntary and should be reviewed together with GAAP results.
