• Quarterly shipments were 19,130 MW (17,504 MW for solar modules and 1,626 MW for cells and wafers), down 27.7% sequentially and 12.7% year-over-year.
• Total revenues were RMB13.84 billion (US$1.91 billion), down 33.0% sequentially and 39.9% year-over-year.
• Gross loss was RMB352.9 million (US$48.6 million), down 144.7% sequentially and 112.9% year-over-year.
• Gross loss margin was 2.5%, compared with gross profit margin of 3.8% in Q4 2024 and gross profit margin of 11.9% in Q1 2024.
• Net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders was RMB1.32 billion (US$181.7 million), compared with net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB476.7 million in Q4 2024 and net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB609.4 million in Q1 2024.
• Adjusted net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders was RMB1.07 billion (US$147.4 million), which excludes the impact of (i) the change in fair value of convertible senior notes, (ii) the change in fair value of long-term investment, and (iii) share-based compensation expenses, compared with adjusted net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB430.8 million in Q4 2024 and adjusted net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB470.3 million in Q1 2024.
• Basic and diluted losses per ordinary share were RMB6.40 (US$0.88) and RMB6.40 (US$0.88), respectively. This translates into basic and diluted losses per ADS of RMB25.58 (US$3.53) and RMB25.58 (US$3.53), respectively.

Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Module shipments reached 17.5 GW, with revenues of US$1.91 billion, for the first quarter of 2025. Prices across the main segments of the solar industrial chain were low in the first quarter. This, combined with disruptions in demand caused by changes in international trade policies, pressured profit margins in each segment of the integrated solar supply chain. Despite this challenging market environment, we fulfilled our delivery commitments to customers and reduced costs through supply chain optimization, adjustments to production and operation plans, and other measures. Due to a year-over-year decline in shipments to the U.S. market and a continued decline in higher-price overseas orders, our module prices and profitability decreased both year-over-year and sequentially. Net loss was US$181.7 million for the first quarter of 2025.

According to data from the National Environment Administration, new installations in China in the first quarter amounted to 59.7 GW, an increase of 31% year-over-year. Resilience was seen in domestic demand despite the high comparison base in 2024. Market self-regulation and high-quality development initiatives by manufacturers became gradually effective. From January to March, average monthly bidding prices for solar modules steadily recovered in the domestic market, returning to a more rational level. Recent changes in international trade policies, such as reciprocal tariffs in the United States, have brought some disruption to the PV industry. In response to these challenges, we have flexibly adjusted our supply chain strategy and regional shipment mix, while maintaining close communication and negotiation with our customers. Relying on our extensive market insights and efficient execution, we remain committed to meeting customer demands for our highly efficient and reliable products, maintaining operational continuity while adapting to market dynamics. Currently, the visibility of our order book stands at 60% to 70%, with Indo-Pacific and Middle East and Africa regions exceeding 80%.

By the end of the first quarter, the mass production cell efficiency for our third-generation TOPCon products exceeded 26.6%. We continued to upgrade existing TOPCon capacity with the introduction of technologies such as half-cell passivation, MAX, and 20BB. We expect the power of our third-generation TOPCon products to have a 20 Wp to 30 Wp advantage compared to previous-generation TOPCon products in the industry. Meanwhile, we continued to achieve breakthroughs in our R&D. By the end of the first quarter, our laboratory efficiency for perovskite tandem solar cell based on TOPCon reached 34.22%, once again setting a new record.

Our investments in R&D, manufacturing, and after-sale service capabilities in energy storage are gradually showing results. In the first quarter, shipments of energy storage systems exceeded 300 MWh, a substantial year-over-year increase. We expect energy storage shipments to be around 6 GWh for the full year 2025, with the overseas market as our strategic priority.  So far, confirmed orders for energy storage systems account for 50% to 60%, with an additional 20% to 30% showing strong potential for signing. Leveraging our leading position in the PV industry, we will proactively explore innovative business models that integrate solar and storage solutions, providing high-efficiency and smart green energy solutions to global clients and contributing to the sustainable development of global energy.

We expect our annual production capacity for mono wafers, solar cells and solar modules to reach 120.0 GW, 95.0 GW and 130.0 GW, respectively, with annual production capacity of our third-generation TOPCon modules to reach 40.0 GW to 50.0 GW by the end of 2025. We expect module shipments to be between 20.0 GW and 25.0 GW in the second quarter of 2025, and between 85.0 GW and 100.0 GW for the full year 2025. We will actively respond to changes in market demand and policy, continuously optimize market strategies and supply chain management, and consistently improve technology and product competitiveness, to maintain a leading position in the industry."

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total Revenues

Total revenues in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB13.84 billion (US$1.91 billion), a decrease of 33.0% from RMB20.65 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 39.9% from RMB23.04 billion in the first quarter of 2024. The sequential decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the shipment of solar modules, and the year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease in average selling price of solar modules.

Gross Loss/ Profit and Gross Margin

Gross loss in the first quarter of 2025 was RMB352.9 million (US$48.6 million), compared with gross profit of RMB789.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and gross profit of RMB2.74 billion in the first quarter of 2024. 

Gross loss margin was 2.5% in the first quarter of 2025, compared with gross profit margin of 3.8% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and gross profit margin of 11.9% in the first quarter of 2024. The sequential and year-over-year decreases were mainly due to the decrease in average selling price of solar modules.

Loss from Operations and Operating Loss Margin

Loss from operations in the first quarter of 2025 was RMB2.87 billion (US$394.8 million), compared with RMB1.94 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024 and RMB339.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily attributable to the decreases in our revenues and gross margin in the first quarter of 2025.

Operating loss margin was 20.7% in the first quarter of 2025, compared with 9.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 1.5% in the first quarter of 2024.

Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB2.51 billion (US$346.2 million), a decrease of 8.1% from RMB2.73 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 18.3% from RMB3.07 billion in the first quarter of 2024. The sequential decrease was mainly due to (i) the decrease in the impairment of long-lived assets and (ii) the decrease in loss resulted from disposal of long-lived assets, and the year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the decrease in shipping cost as the shipment of solar modules decreased.

Total operating expenses accounted for 18.1% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 13.2% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 13.3% in the first quarter of 2024.

Interest Expenses and Interest Income

Interest expenses were RMB341.6 million (US$47.1 million), and interest income was RMB104.3 million (US$14.4 million) in the first quarter of 2025.

Net interest expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB237.3 million (US$32.7 million), an increase of 1.3% from RMB234.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and an increase of 27.0% from RMB186.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. The sequential and year-over-year increases were due to the increase in interest-bearing debts in the first quarter of 2025.

Subsidy Income

Subsidy income in the first quarter of 2025 was RMB536.0 million (US$73.9 million), compared with RMB900.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and RMB231.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. The sequential and year-over-year changes were primarily attributable to the changes in cash receipt of incentives related to the Company's business operations.

Exchange Gain 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 RMB121.0 million (US$16.7 million) in the first quarter of 2025, compared to RMB408.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and RMB139.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to the exchange rate fluctuations of US dollars against RMB in the first quarter of 2025.

Change in Fair Value of Convertible Senior Notes

The Company issued US$85.0 million of 4.5% convertible senior notes (the "Notes") due 2024 in May 2019 and has elected to measure the Notes at fair value derived by valuation model, i.e., Binomial Model. All the Notes with the principal amount at issuance of US$85.0 million have been converted into ordinary shares of the Company in the second quarter of 2024.

Change in fair value of convertible senior notes was nil in the first quarter of 2025, compared to nil in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a gain of RMB310.7 million in the first quarter of 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had RMB1.00 billion (US$138.0 million) in available-for-sale securities and long-term investment (excluding the investments accounted for under the equity method and held-to-maturity debt securities), compared with RMB1.05 billion as of December 31, 2024.

The Company recognized a loss from the change in fair value of long-term investment of RMB46.2 million (US$6.4 million) in the first quarter of 2025, compared with a gain of RMB332.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a loss of RMB55.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. The sequential and year-over-year changes were primarily due to the changes in the fair value of several solar technology companies we invested in.

Other Loss/Income, Net

Net other loss in the first quarter of 2025 was RMB218.6 million (US$30.1 million), compared with net other loss of RMB758.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and net other income of RMB1.32 billion in the first quarter of 2024.

Equity in Loss/Income of Affiliated Companies

The Company indirectly holds equity interests in several affiliated companies engaged in solar business, including Sweihan PV Power Company P.J.S.C, Inner Mongolia Xinte Silicon Material Co., Ltd., and Sichuan Yongxiang Technology Co., Ltd., etc., which were accounted for using the equity method. The Company recorded equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB46.1 million (US$6.3 million) in the first quarter of 2025, compared with equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB119.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and equity in income of affiliated companies of RMB13.2 million in the first quarter of 2024. The fluctuations in equity in loss or income of affiliated companies primarily arose from the changes in net losses or gains incurred by the affiliated companies.

Income Tax Benefit/Expense

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of RMB699.5 million (US$96.4 million) in the first quarter of 2025, compared with income tax benefit of RMB580.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and income tax expense of RMB476.7 million in the first quarter of 2024.
