Canadian Solar filed a Form 6-K sharing preliminary 2025 results for its 64%-owned subsidiary CSI Solar, showing a sharp earnings decline. CSI Solar’s operating revenue was RMB40.26 billion, down 12.80% year over year, while net profit attributable to shareholders fell 54.56% to RMB1.02 billion.
Operating profit dropped 55.21% to RMB1.11 billion and basic EPS declined to RMB0.28, a 54.10% decrease. Weighted average ROE fell to 4.43% from 10.15%. Total assets were RMB64.73 billion, slightly below the start of the year, while equity attributable to shareholders rose 2.55% to RMB23.49 billion.
The company attributes weaker results mainly to lower module shipment volumes, higher tariff and manufacturing costs, and reduced non-recurring gains such as government subsidies. Growth in energy storage revenue and a modest increase in module selling prices partially offset these pressures. All figures are preliminary, unaudited, prepared under PRC GAAP and may differ materially from Canadian Solar’s U.S. GAAP results.
Canadian Solar Inc., through majority-owned subsidiary CSI Solar, outlines a major restructuring of its U.S. and Thailand manufacturing using related-party lease agreements with joint ventures owned with its controlling shareholder.
The changes respond to the U.S. One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act so CSI Solar’s U.S. entities and customers can keep access to Section 45X, 45Y and 45E tax credits. The plan combines equity transfers with long-term leases of module and cell plants in Texas and Indiana and wafer and cell facilities in Thailand, generally on five‑year terms with options to renew and, in some U.S. equipment leases, options to purchase at fair value. Base rent rises 10% once output reaches 80% of design capacity.
Simulated annual rental income, in RMB 100 million, totals U.S. module rent of 5.86 in 2026 and 6.00 in 2027–2030, U.S. cell rent rising from 5.37 in 2026 to 11.25 in 2027–2030, and Thai wafer and cell rent of 0.08 and 0.34 respectively from 2026–2030, supporting estimated pre‑tax profit between 4.31 and 8.83 over 2026–2030. CSI Solar expects to receive partial one‑time equity transfer consideration, retain a 24.9% equity interest in U.S. operations, and earn rental income, with pricing backed by independent asset and rent appraisals and subject to shareholder approval with related parties abstaining.
Canadian Solar Inc. reports that its majority-owned subsidiary CSI Solar has issued a 2025 earnings forecast showing net profit attributable to shareholders between RMB 900 million and RMB 1,100 million, a year-on-year decrease of 60% to 51% versus 2024.
For 2024, CSI Solar’s net profit attributable to shareholders was RMB 2,247.3502 million, with basic earnings per share of RMB 0.61. The company cites persistent photovoltaic industry oversupply, lower utilization rates, trade protection policies, and higher polysilicon and silver paste costs as key headwinds, while highlighting growth in its energy storage business. The forecast is based on preliminary, unaudited PRC GAAP figures and may differ from the final 2025 audited results.
