"Driven by the surging demand from China due to the expected feed-in-tariff ("FiT") reduction after June 30, 2017, the Company's PV module shipments reached a record high of 1,146.6 MW in a single quarter in the second quarter of 2017, increasing by 209% over the first quarter of 2017, and exceeded previous guidance," commented Mr. Liansheng Miao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yingli Green Energy.

"Geographically, shipments to China increased from 243MW in the first quarter of 2017 to 992MW and accounted for 86.5% of our total PV module shipments in the second quarter of 2017, as a result of successful cooperation with different types of customers. For example, the Company completed the delivery of more than 200 MW modules to a utility scale project in Hebei Province in the second quarter, which was a great contribution to the increase in shipments. The Company also enhanced its partnerships with distributors who focused on distributed generation systems, which brought considerable and relatively stable PV module shipments each month. The Company expects the Top Runner program, PV Poverty Alleviation projects and distributed generation projects in China will be the major driving forces for the Company's PV module shipments in China in the second half of 2017. In other markets, shipments to Europe, Japan, and United States all increased compared to the first quarter of 2017. In Japan, the Company successfully completed the delivery of about half of the 230MW modules ordered by the Japan's largest solar plant in the second quarter."

"On the technology side, the Company started to utilize diamond wire sawing technology in the second quarter of 2017 and plans to increase its application in the second half of 2017. This technology is expected to reduce unit production cost of PV modules by about 5%. The Company also launched a PANDA Bifacial half-cell module which could achieve over 300W of single-sided power output and 335W of double-sided power output. In addition, the Company put the Smart Hotspot Free and multi-crystalline black silicon modules in mass production in the second quarter of 2017, which further diversified the Company's product portfolio."

"Based on current market conditions, the Company's current operating conditions, estimated production capacity and forecasted customer demand, we expect the PV module shipments to be in the range of 550 MW to 600 MW for the third quarter of 2017, and we revise our shipments guidance for full year of 2017 to 2.5 GW to 2.8 GW," Mr. Miao concluded.

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Total Net Revenues

Total net revenues were RMB3,173.6 million (US$468.1 million), compared to RMB1,238.3 million in the first quarter of 2017 and RMB2,524.1 million in the second quarter of 2016. Total PV module shipments were 1,146.6MW, compared to 370.9MW in the first quarter of 2017 and 662.0MW in the second quarter of 2016.

The increase of total net revenues from the first quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2017 was mainly due to the increase of PV module shipments from 370.9MW to 1,146.6MW. As PV projects that became operational before June 30, 2017 are entitled to a higher feed-in tariff, the Company's shipments to China surged from 243MW in the first quarter of 2017 to 992MW in the second quarter of 2017. The increase was partially offset by the decrease of industry-wide average selling price of PV modules.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was RMB53.5 million (US$7.9 million) in the second quarter of 2017, compared to RMB61.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 and RMB460.1 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Gross margin was 1.7% in the second quarter of 2017, compared to 5.0% in the first quarter of 2017 and 18.2% in the second quarter of 2016. Gross margin on sales of PV modules was 3.9% in the second quarter of 2017, compared to 8.8% in the first quarter of 2017 and 18.1% in the second quarter of 2016.

The decrease in gross profit and gross margin from the first quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2017 was mainly due to the decrease of average selling price of the Company's PV modules as a result of the decrease of average selling price for PV module worldwide as well as the decrease of shipments to Japan where the selling price of PV modules were generally higher than other markets. The Company also made additional inventory provisions as a result of continuous decrease in average selling price of PV modules in the second quarter of 2017.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were RMB234.3 million (US$34.6 million), compared to RMB165.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 and RMB301.9 million in the second quarter of 2016. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue was 7.4 % in the second quarter of 2017, compared to 13.3% in the first quarter of 2017 and 12.0% in the second quarter of 2016.

The increase of operating expenses from the first quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2017 was mainly due to increase of freight, warranty and other selling expenses as a result of significant increase of PV module shipments, and bad debt provision. The Company made bad debt provision of RMB14.4 million for doubtful accounts receivables in the second quarter of 2017, while the Company recorded reversal of bad debts provision of RMB14.9 million for doubtful accounts receivables in the first quarter of 2017.

The increase was partially offset by the reversal of provision for reserve for inventory purchase commitments due to foreign exchange re-measurement. As a result of foreign exchange re-measurement due to significant fluctuation in the foreign exchange rate between the Renminbi and U.S. dollars, the Company recorded a reversal of provision of RMB7.7 million in the first quarter of 2017, while in the second quarter of 2017 the Company recorded such reversal of provision of RMB25.4 million.

Operating Loss and Margin

Operating loss was RMB180.8 million (US$26.7 million) in the second quarter of 2017, compared to operating loss of RMB103.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 and operating income of RMB158.3 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Operating margin was negative 5.7% in the second quarter of 2017, compared to negative 8.4% in the first quarter of 2017 and 6.3% in the second quarter of 2016.

EBITDA

On a non-GAAP basis, earnings before interest, tax expenses, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") were negative RMB27.4 million (US$4.0 million), compared to RMB100.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 and RMB469.5 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was RMB165.3 million (US$24.4 million) in the second quarter of 2017, compared to RMB156.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 and RMB158.6 million in the second quarter of 2016. The Company's average interest rate was 5.11% in the second quarter of 2017, compared to 5.17% in the first quarter of 2017 and 5.09% in the second quarter of 2016.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss)

Foreign currency exchange gain was RMB5.9 million (US$0.9 million) in the second quarter of 2017, compared to RMB29.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 and RMB27.0 million in the second quarter of 2016. The foreign currency exchange gain in the second quarter of 2017 was mainly due to the depreciation of US dollar against Renminbi because the Company had a net balance of financial liabilities denominated in US dollar. Such gain was partially offset by the depreciation of Japanese Yen against Renminbi because the Company had a balance of net current assets denominated in Japanese Yen.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

Income tax expense was RMB0.09 million (US$0.01 million) in the second quarter of 2017, compared to RMB0.09 million in the first quarter of 2017 and RMB1.1 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Net Loss

Net loss was RMB297.6 million (US$43.9 million) in the second quarter of 2017, compared to net loss of RMB184.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 and net income of RMB 71.8 million in the second quarter of 2016. Loss per ADS was RMB16.4 (US$2.4) in the second quarter of 2017, compared to loss per ADS of RMB10.1 in the first quarter of 2017 and earnings per ADS of RMB4.0 in the second quarter of 2016.

On an adjusted non-GAAP basis, adjusted net loss was RMB322.8 million (US$47.6 million), compared to adjusted net loss of RMB191.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 and adjusted net income of RMB106.8 million in the second quarter of 2016; adjusted loss per ADS was RMB17.8 (US$2.6) in the second quarter of 2017, compared to adjusted loss per ADS of RMB10.6 in the first quarter of 2017 and adjusted earnings per ADS of RMB5.9 in the second quarter of 2016.

Financial Position

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had RMB658.2 million (US$97.1million) in cash and cash equivalents, increased from RMB417.3 million as of March 31, 2017, mainly due to the increase of PV module shipments in the second quarter of 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had RMB321.7 million (US$47.5 million) in restricted cash, decreased from RMB374.3 million as of March 31, 2017.

Days payable outstanding were 69 days in the second quarter of 2017, decreased from 198 days in the first quarter of 2017, primarily because the Company settled certain long aging accounts payables in the second quarter of 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company's inventory had decreased to RMB1,039.7 million (US$153.4 million) from RMB1,552.7 million as of March 31, 2017, which was mainly due to the increase of PV module shipments in the second quarter of 2017.

The Company and its subsidiaries are exploring financing options to continue to manage the Company and its subsidiaries' liquidity and to enhance their financial flexibility.

Updates on Repayment of Medium-Term Notes

As of the date of this press release, one of the Company's subsidiaries, Tianwei Yingli, had medium-term notes, or MTNs, of RMB1,757.0 million outstanding, including RMB357.0 million of the MTNs issued in 2010 (the "2010 MTNs"), which became due on October 13, 2015, and RMB1.4 billion of the MTNs issued in 2011 (the "2011 MTNs"), which became due on May 12, 2016. Tianwei Yingli is currently in payment default of the 2010 MTNs and 2011 MTNs. As previously announced by the Company, one of the holders (the "Note Holder") of 2011 MTNs and 2010 MTNs filed a lawsuit against Tianwei Yingli in a PRC court to recover the amount due under such MTNs. The principal amount of the MTNs held by the Note Holder is alleged to be RMB65.7 million, representing approximately 3.7% of the total amount of the 2011 MTNs and 2010 MTNs that are still outstanding. The Note Holder claimed that Tianwei Yingli should repay principal, interest and overdue penalty on the MTNs for an aggregate amount of RMB74.4 million and bear costs relating to the lawsuit. Tianwei Yingli plans to vigorously defend its rights in court while continuing to seek a mutually beneficial solution out of court. Considering the amount claimed by the Note Holder, the Company does not expect this lawsuit to have any direct material impact on the Company's overall operation. The Company notified all holders of the MTNs of this lawsuit and held a meeting with them to discuss the Company's debt restructuring, strategic alternatives and financing plans. The Company is not aware of any other legal proceedings initiated by holders of the 2011 MTNs or the 2010 MTNs against the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Business Outlook for Third Quarter and Full Year 2017

Based on current market conditions, the Company's current operating conditions, estimated production capacity and forecasted customer demand, the Company expects its PV module shipments to be in the estimated range of 550MW to 600MW for the third quarter of 2017. The Company revises the shipments guidance for full year of 2017 from 2.1-2.2GW to 2.5-2.8GW.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, this press release may include certain non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expenses adjusted operating profit or loss, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per ordinary share and per ADS and EBITDA, each of which (other than EBITDA) is adjusted to exclude, as applicable, items related to share-based compensation, provision for reserve for inventory purchase commitments and provision for prepayments in relation to inventory purchase commitments. EBITDA excludes interest, tax expenses, depreciation and amortization. The Company believes excluding these items from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors to assess and analyze the Company's on-going performance as such items are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business operations and/or do not impact its cash earnings. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand the Company's current financial performance and future prospects and compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see the financial information included elsewhere in this press release.
