Second Quarter 2019 Highlights<br />
2019 like many other years has been a challenging one, and<br />
JinkoSolar is keeping a very close eye on market developments.<br />
Competition remains intense with many industry peers acting<br />
aggressively in the market. JinkoSolar, however, remains in a strong<br />
position. In the first six months, the company has achieved two<br />
record breaking quarters with 6 gigawatts (GW) of module<br />
deliveries and a doubling of mono module shipments compared to<br />
last year.<br />
Recently, JinkoSolar announced its financial results for Q2 2019.<br />
Total solar module shipments were 3.386 GW, a year-over-year<br />
increase of 21.2% and a sequential increase of 11.5%.<br />

By the end of 2019, in-house annual silicon wafer, solar cell, and<br />
solar module production capacity will reach 15.0 GW, 10.5 GW, and<br />
16.0 GW, respectively, including 11.5 GW of mono wafer capacity,<br />
9.7 GW of PERC cell capacity, and 800 MW of N-type cell capacity.<br />
Leshan, the company’s new 5.0 GW mono wafer production<br />
capacity is expected to begin production in Q3 2019 and reach full<br />
capacity by Q4 2019. A second 5.0 GW phase will result in 16.5 GW<br />
of mono wafer capacity by first half of 2020.<br />

Third Quarter and Full Year 2019 Guidance<br />
For Q3 2019, the Company expects total solar module shipments to be in the range of 3.2 GW to 3.5 GW. Total revenue<br />
for the third quarter is expected to be in the range of US $980 million to US $1.07 billion. Gross margin for the third<br />
quarter is expected to be between 18% and 20% with good order visibility in the second half. For the full year 2019, the<br />
Company estimates total solar module shipments to be in the range of 14.0 GW to 15.0 GW.<br />

Key Achievements<br />
The Company has accelerated the transition of its product portfolio toward high efficiency mono, expecting to reach<br />
70% mono in 2019. This transition, including 16.5 GW of mono wafer capacity by Q2 2020, will strengthen the<br />
Company’s vertical integration and optimize the cost structure.<br />
The Company is matching the market with new products that customers demand. This is evident considering over 7<br />
GW of pre-orders of Cheetah and Swan modules in the past 12 months. The next generation of module technology is<br />
on its way with pilot production and certification process ongoing. The number of customers has grown steadily with a<br />
cumulative 3600+ worldwide by Q2 2019.<br />

2016 2017 2018 2019 Q2
JinkoSolar has been named a BNEF Tier 1 Solar Module Manufacturer<br />
for 8 consecutive years, which is one of the longest runs of any<br />
manufacturer. The Company has also been rated a Top Performer in<br />
the PVEL / DNV GL PV Module Reliability Scorecard five consecutive<br />
times.<br />
increase in overseas sales. In the United<br />
States, it has clearly defended its top<br />
position and remained the supplier of<br />
choice due to strong and repeated<br />
execution. In Japan, it recorded the best<br />
year in its history, ranking as the number 1<br />
seller for the first time. In Europe, thanks to<br />
the phase out of the MIP, Europe once<br />
again became a strong JinkoSolar sales<br />
region. In Australia, <strong>Jinkosolar</strong> secured its<br />
position as the best-selling premium brand<br />
in 2018. In India, ROA, and MEMA, where<br />
low cost poly remains most prevalent,<br />
JinkoSolar was one of the few premium<br />
mono manufacturers to succeed, growing<br />
its market share to 30%. In Latin America, it<br />
is the first brand to sell more than 5 GW of<br />
modules cumulatively.<br />
Looking back, JinkoSolar continues to<br />
grow rapidly, with CAGRs consistently<br />
higher than industry rates. In 2018,<br />
JinkoSolar delivered 11.4 GW to 2,828<br />
customers, an increase of 16.0% from<br />
9.8 GW for the year 2017. Our global<br />
leading market share reached 12.8%.<br />
The Company was able to accomplish<br />
all this due to a timely transition to<br />
premium mono products and major<br />
investments in both Chinese and<br />
overseas production.<br />
JinkoSolar generated revenue of<br />
US$3.64 billion in module sales in<br />
2018, and achieved gross margin of<br />
14.0% compared with 11.3% for the<br />
year 2017 and income from operations<br />
almost doubled that of 2017. Net<br />
income attributed to the Company's<br />
ordinary shareholders was three times<br />
that of 2017. In China, it still grew very<br />
quickly despite the slowdown caused<br />
by the 531 policy change. However,<br />
one major reason for the Company’s<br />
success, even in the face of troubles in<br />
the China mar ket, was a marked<br />

market share<br />
The rollout of the Cheetah family of<br />
products in 2018 was one of the most<br />
important events of the year, as it set the<br />
stage for future sales. In the first 12 months<br />
of market launch, the Company sold more<br />
than 5.5 GW, a new benchmark for new<br />
modules in the industry.
he Swan bifacial series is similarly stimulating<br />
additional interest. It is the first and only bifacial<br />
module using a transparent backsheet. It embodies a<br />
combination of the most recent groundbreaking<br />
technologies: Cheetah half cut cells, bifacial generation,<br />
and DuPont® TedlarTM PVF transparent backsheets.<br />
With a maximum output of 415 watts plus 5-25% extra<br />
power generated from the rear side (depending on<br />
ground reflection), and 25% less weight compared to<br />
conventional bifacial, Swan is a clear winner.<br />
One of the major focuses in 2018 was on investment in<br />
the expansion of new production facilities, including in<br />
Malaysia and the United States. The Company now has<br />
seven plants in three countries. It has expanded its<br />
capacity and upgraded process technologies in Penang<br />
with capacity of 3.0 GW for solar cells and 2.5 GW for<br />
solar modules, as of Q4 2018 , and commenced<br />
module production in Florida in November 2018. The<br />
decision to manufacture in the U.S. is based on a few<br />
factors, including getting more established in the<br />
market, shorter delivery times, and more flexibility.<br />
Locating this factory in Florida also makes JinkoSolar<br />
more independent of currency and policy fluctuations.<br />
Today, with fully automatic, advanced manufacturing in<br />
Shangrao’s F5 workshop and Jacksonville, Florida,<br />
JinkoSolar is the first solar module producer to start<br />
smart factory production at a GW scale. These steps<br />
strengthen JinkoSolar’s global production network<br />
capabilities.<br />
