Mr. Kangping Chen, JinkoSolar's Chief Executive Officer commented, "I'm pleased to report strong operational and financial results for the third quarter which I believe marks a turning point for our business, as we begin to increasingly benefit from our technology transformation, industry-leading cost structure and expanding mono capacity. Module shipments during the quarter were 3,326 megawatts, an increase of 12.6% year-over-year and a slight decrease sequentially. Our integrated production costs continued to decrease, which, combined with our high-quality products and global distribution footprint, allowed us to initiate a reset of our gross margin, expanding it to 21.3% during the quarter, a significant 6 percentage point increase year-over-year. We are very optimistic about our growth prospects next quarter and throughout 2020 where we expect to see our overall profitability strengthen and margins expand."
"Our technological transformation began in 2016 when we started producing mono wafers, and have since then accumulated three years of operational and technical expertise which we applied in our mono production facility in Leshan, Sichuan Province. This technological transformation is now largely complete, with Phase I of the production facility having begun operations and ramped up to full 5GW capacity during the second quarter of 2019. I believe this reflects our strategic foresight and strong execution capabilities. We are now at a strategic turning point in our corporate history with mono-based high-efficiency products accounting for nearly 75% of the total solar module shipments during the quarter, which is expected to increase to 99% in 2020."
"The late announcement of the government subsidy policy for PV projects in China earlier this year delayed a large number of projects which we believe will restart during the fourth quarter and the first quarter of 2020. This delay is expected to drive strong domestic demand over the next six months, especially since China's national renewable energy information management center recently announced that it is accelerating the formulation of subsidy policies for PV projects in 2020. With the cost of solar energy now falling below that of conventional energy sources in many markets across the globe and more aggressive clean energy targets being set by governments, we are also very confident and optimistic that global demand will significantly increase next year. We currently estimate that global installations next year will be approximately 20% higher than this year."
"We continue to invest in product development to meet growing market demand for high-quality and efficient products. We expanded our production capacity of N-type cells to 800MW during the quarter, and are currently ramping up to full production which is expected to begin next quarter. Our N-type cells reached a record high efficiency of 24.58% in June 2019. We also recently unveiled a new Tiger module which, with its 20.78% efficiency and peak power output of 460W, offers our clients significantly improved efficiency, lower production costs and a better internal rate of return."
"With domestic demand rebounding strongly and overseas demand driven by aggressive new clean energy targets, we expect the fourth quarter and full year 2020 to generate strong growth in shipments and strengthen our overall profitability and margin profile. With the demand growing rapidly both domestically and overseas for our mono products, we have strategically decided to convey our confidence in next year's strong growth with total solar module shipments expected to be in the range of 18.0 GW to 20.0 GW for the full year 2020, an approximately 35% year-over-year increase. As one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, we will continue to drive growth in this new era of grid parity and deliver long-term sustainable value to our shareholders."
Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Total Revenues
Total revenues in the third quarter of 2019 were RMB7.48 billion (US$1.05 billion), an increase of 8.2% from RMB6.91 billion in the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 11.8% from RMB6.69 billion in the third quarter of 2018. The sequential increase was mainly attributable to an increase in the average selling price of solar modules and increase of multi-crystalline silicon wafers sales in the third quarter of 2019. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to an increase in the shipment of solar modules in the third quarter of 2019.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit in the third quarter of 2019 was RMB1.59 billion (US$223.0 million), compared with RMB1.14 billion in the second quarter of 2019 and RMB997.6 million in the third quarter of 2018. The sequential increase was mainly attributable to (i) an increase in self-produced production volume by increasing shift toward integrated mono-based high-efficiency products capacity, (ii) continued reduction of integrated production cost, which maintains its industry-leading cost structure, and (iii) an increase in the average selling price of solar modules, and (iv) the reversal benefit of CVD and ADD of RMB 212.0 million (US$29.7 million), based on the final results of the fifth administrative review of the CVD and ADD order published by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Gross margin was 21.3% in the third quarter of 2019, compared with 16.5% in the second quarter of 2019 and 14.9% in the third quarter of 2018. Excluding the CVD and ADD reversal benefit, gross margin was 18.5% in the third quarter of 2019, compared with 16.5% in the second quarter of 2019 and 12.8% in the third quarter of 2018. The sequential increase was attributable to (i) an increase in self-produced volume by increasing shift toward integrated mono-based high-efficiency products capacity, (ii) continued reduction of integrated production cost, which maintains its industry-leading cost structure, and (iii) an increase in the average selling price of solar modules.
Income from Operations and Operating Margin
Income from operations in the third quarter of 2019 was RMB638.8 million (US$89.4 million), compared with RMB260.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 and RMB188.0 million in the third quarter of 2018. Operating margin in the third quarter of 2019 was 8.5%, compared with 3.8% in the second quarter of 2019 and 2.8% in the third quarter of 2018. Excluding the CVD and ADD reversal benefit, operating margin in the third quarter of 2019 was 5.7%.
Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2019 were RMB955.0 million (US$133.6 million), an increase of 8.1% from RMB883.6 million in the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 18.0% from RMB809.6 million in the third quarter of 2018. The sequential increase was mainly due to an increase in shipping cost and loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment of RMB 42.1 million. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase in shipping costs in the third quarter of 2019.
Total operating expenses accounted for 12.8% of total revenues in the third quarter of 2019, compared to 12.8% in the second quarter of 2019 and 12.1% in the third quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase of operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to the increase in shipping costs as a percentage of total revenue associated with a higher percentage of shipments to overseas markets in the third quarter of 2019.
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense in the third quarter of 2019 was RMB94.9 million (US$13.3 million), a decrease of 18.7% from RMB116.8 million in the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 70.7% from RMB55.6 million in the third quarter of 2018. The sequential decrease was mainly due to a decrease in interest expense associated with discounted notes receivables in the third quarter of 2019. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to (i) an increase in borrowings, (ii) the cessation of interest capitalization on certain completed solar projects, and (iii) issuance of additional convertible senior notes in May 2019.
Exchange (Loss)/Gain and Change in Fair Value of Foreign Exchange Derivatives
The Company recorded a net exchange loss (including Change in fair value of foreign exchange derivatives) of RMB130.7 million (US$18.3 million) in the third quarter of 2019, compared to a net exchange gain of RMB45.9 million in the second quarter of 2019 and a net exchange gain of RMB85.0 million in the third quarter of 2018. Given the rapid increase of overseas orders, the Company increased the foreign currency hedge ratio to hedge the next six months' anticipated cash flow denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company recorded a loss arising from foreign exchange forward contracts with the appreciation of the U.S. dollars against the RMB in the third quarter of 2019.
Change in Fair Value of Interest Rate Swap
The Company entered into Interest Rate Swap agreements with several banks for the purpose of reducing interest rate risk exposure associated with the Company's overseas solar power projects. The Company recorded a loss arising from change in fair value of interest rate swap of RMB18.1 million (US$2.5 million) in the third quarter of 2019, compared to a loss of RMB46.1 million in the second quarter of 2019. The loss arising from change in fair value of interest swap was primarily due to a continuous decrease in long-term interest rates. The Company did not elect to use hedge accounting for any of its derivatives.
Change in Fair Value of Convertible Senior Notes and Call Option
The Company issued US$85.0 million of 4.5% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the "Notes") in May 2019 and has elected to measure the Notes at fair value. The Company recognized gain from a change in fair value of the Notes of RMB157.1 million (US$22.0million) in the third quarter of 2019, compared to a loss of RMB118.6 million in the second quarter of 2019. The change was primarily due to a decrease in the stock price of the Company in the third quarter of 2019.
Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes in May 2019, the Company entered into a call option transaction with an affiliate of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC. The Company accounted for the call option transactions as freestanding derivative assets in its consolidated balance sheets, which is marked to market at each reporting period. The Company recorded a loss from a change in fair value of the call option of RMB74.2 million (US$10.4 million) in the third quarter of 2019, compared to a gain of RMB73.5 million in the second quarter of 2019. The change was primarily due to a decrease in the stock price of the Company in the third quarter of 2019.
Equity in (Loss)/Income 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 accounts for its investment using the equity method. The Company also holds a 30% equity interest in Jiangsu Jinko-Tiansheng Co., Ltd, which processes and assembles PV modules as an OEM manufacturer, and accounts for its investments using the equity method. The Company recorded equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB28.3 million (US$4.0 million) in the third quarter of 2019, compared with a loss of RMB28.6 million in the second quarter of 2019 and an income of RMB4.9 million in the third quarter of 2018. The loss primarily arose from change in fair value of interest rate swap agreements purchased by Sweihan PV Power Company P.J.S.C. due to a continuous decrease in long-term interest rates. Hedge accounting was not applied for the derivative.
Income Tax Benefit / (Expense), Net
The Company recorded an income tax expense of RMB117.2 million (US$16.4 million) in the third quarter of 2019, compared with an income tax benefit of RMB55.9 million in the second quarter of 2019 and an income tax expense of RMB61.2 million in the third quarter of 2018.
The sequential change was mainly due to additional 2018 income tax deduction for R&D costs approved by the local tax bureau in the second quarter of 2019.
Net Income and Earnings per Share
Net income attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders was RMB363.6 million (US$50.9 million) in the third quarter of 2019, compared with RMB125.4 million in the second quarter of 2019 and RMB189.1 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share were RMB2.062 (US$0.288) and RMB1.166 (US$0.163), respectively, during the third quarter of 2019. This translates into basic and diluted earnings per ADS of RMB8.248 (US$1.152) and RMB4.664 (US$0.652), respectively.
Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders in the third quarter of 2019 was RMB301.2 million (US$42.1 million), compared with RMB202.9 million in the second quarter of 2019 and RMB206.3 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share were RMB1.708 (US$0.239) and RMB1.532 (US$0.214), respectively, during the third quarter of 2019. This translates into non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS of RMB6.832 (US$0.956) and RMB6.128 (US$0.856), respectively.

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, non-GAAP earnings per Share, and non-GAAP earnings per ADS, which are adjusted from the comparable GAAP results to exclude certain expenses or incremental ordinary shares relating to share-based compensation and, convertible senior notes:
-- Non-GAAP net income is adjusted to exclude the expenses relating to
issuance cost of convertible senior notes, change in fair value of
convertible senior notes and call option, interest expenses of
convertible senior notes, exchange gain on the convertible senior notes,
and stock-based compensation; given these Non-GAAP net income
adjustments above are either related to the Company or its subsidiaries
incorporated in Cayman Islands, which are not subject to tax exposures,
or related to those subsidiaries with tax loss positions which result in
no tax impacts, therefore no tax adjustment is needed in conjunction
with these Non-GAAP net income adjustments; and
-- Non-GAAP earnings per Share and non-GAAP earnings per ADS are adjusted
to exclude the expenses relating to issuance cost of convertible senior
notes, change in fair value of convertible senior notes and call option,
interest expenses of convertible senior notes, exchange gain on the
convertible senior notes, and stock-based compensation.
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.
