"We delivered a solid operating performance in 2008 and exceeded our net
revenue, production output and capacity expansion targets despite extremely
challenging market conditions during the fourth quarter," commented Mr.
Xianshou Li, ReneSola's chief executive officer. "Our strong and continuously
improving operational capabilities, long-term relationships with leading
global solar customers and our increasing brand recognition were key drivers
in us exceeding our targets."
Mr. Li continued, "In 2008, we achieved several operational milestones
through a keen focus on execution and cost reduction. With our significant
increase in ingot and wafer production capacity we strengthened our position
as one of the world's leading solar wafer producers and increased our market
share across key global markets. Our R&D investment contributed to further
reductions in our silicon consumption rate and processing costs and, as a
result, we generated positive operating cash flows in the fourth quarter
despite the difficulties in the market. We have also made good progress in the
development of our wholly-owned 3,000 metric tonne (MT) polysilicon project in
Sichuan, with Phase 1 scheduled to be operational by mid-2009 and Phase 2
expected to be operational by the end of the third quarter of 2009. The
addition of in-house polysilicon manufacturing will further enhance our
competitiveness and our position as a leading, low-cost wafer producer."
"Looking ahead to 2009 and beyond, we believe that although the solar
industry is experiencing short term demand weakness, the declining ASPs and
other production costs along the solar value chain are improving end-user
affordability and should ultimately increase demand for solar generated
electricity. We remain confident that we can continue to reduce production
costs while improving operational efficiency to stay ahead of the
competition."
Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2008 were US$158.6 million, an
increase of 65.2% year-over-year and a decrease of 26.5% sequentially. For the
full year 2008, ReneSola reported net revenues of US$670.4 million,
representing a 169.3% increase year-over-year from US$249.0 million in 2007.
The rise in full year 2008 revenues was primarily attributable to increases in
production capacities and wafer ASPs during the first three quarters of the
year.
Gross Profit (Loss)
Gross loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 was US$130.1 million, compared
to gross profit of US$45.8 million for the third quarter of 2008 and US$19.6
million for the fourth quarter of 2007. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of
2008 was US$6.9 million excluding the inventory write-down. Gross margin for
the fourth quarter of 2008 was negative 82.0%, compared to positive 21.2% and
20.4% for the third quarter of 2008 and fourth quarter of 2007, respectively.
Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2008 was positive 4.4% excluding the
inventory write-down.
Gross loss for the full year 2008 was US$14.3 million, compared to gross
profit of US$53.5 million for the full year 2007. Gross profit for the full
year 2008 was US$124.1 million excluding the inventory write-down. Gross
margin for the full year 2008 was negative 2.1%, compared to positive 21.5%
for the full year 2007. Gross margin for the full year 2008 was positive 18.5%
excluding the inventory write-down. The decrease in gross margin was primarily
attributable to reductions in ASPs and the inventory write-down during the
fourth quarter of 2008.
Operating Profit (Loss)
Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 was US$141.1 million,
compared to operating profit of US$36.9 million in the third quarter of 2008
and US$15.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Operating loss for the
fourth quarter of 2008 was US$4.1 million excluding the inventory write-down.
Operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2008 was negative 89.0%,
compared to positive 17.1% and 15.6% for the third quarter of 2008 and fourth
quarter of 2007, respectively. Operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2008
was negative 2.6% excluding the inventory write-down. Total operating expenses
in the fourth quarter of 2008 were US$11.0 million, up from US$8.9 million in
the third quarter of 2008. Of the total operating expenses in the fourth
quarter of 2008, US$7.1 million was attributable to general and administrative
expenses, up from US$5.5 million in the third quarter of 2008 and US$3.6
million in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Operating loss for the full year 2008 was US$46.5 million, compared to
operating profit of US$43.4 million for the full year 2007. Operating profit
for the full year 2008 was US$91.9 million excluding the inventory write-down.
Operating margin for the full year 2008 was negative 6.9%, compared to
positive 17.4% for the full year 2007. Operating margin for the full year 2008
was positive 13.7% excluding the inventory write-down. The change in operating
margin was primarily attributable to the inventory write-down during the
fourth quarter of 2008 along with rapid reductions in ASPs. Total operating
expenses for the full year 2008 were US$32.2 million, up from US$10.1 million
for the full year 2007. The increase in operating expenses for the full year
2008 was primarily due to increased general and administrative expenses
reflecting higher salary and benefit payments as a result of the need for a
greater number of employees to meet the Company's fast growing business, as
well as an increase in R&D costs, professional fees and compliance expenses.
Earnings (Loss) Before Income Tax, Minority Interest and Equity in
Earnings of Investee
Loss before income tax, minority interest and equity in earnings of
investee for the fourth quarter of 2008 was US$144.9 million, compared to
earnings of US$32.7 million in the third quarter of 2008 and US$12.4 million
in the fourth quarter of 2007. Loss before income tax, minority interest and
equity in earnings of investee for the fourth quarter of 2008 was US$7.9
million excluding the inventory write-down. Loss before income tax, minority
interest and equity in earnings of investee for the full year 2008 was US$59.7
million, compared to earnings of US$36.8 million in the full year 2007.
Earnings before income tax, minority interest and equity in earnings of
investee for the full year 2008 were US$78.7 million excluding the inventory
write-down. Finance costs increased by 12.6% sequentially, reflecting the rise
in bank borrowings to US$224.8 million as of December 31, 2008. The fourth
quarter 2008 foreign exchange loss was approximately US$1.1 million compared
to a foreign exchange loss of US$1.2 million in the third quarter of 2008.
Taxation
A tax benefit of US$17.9 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of
2008, with US$17.3 million of the total tax benefit arising from the inventory
write-down. For the full year 2008, a tax benefit of US$2.1 million was
recognized, down from US$6.2 million in 2007, due to the promulgation of the
new taxation law which ceased the granting of tax credit for the purchase of
domestic equipment after January 1, 2008.
Net Profit (Loss)
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 was US$126.6 million, compared to
net profit of US$32.4 million in the third quarter of 2008 and US$17.5 million
in the fourth quarter of 2007. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 was
US$6.8 million excluding the inventory write-down. Fourth quarter 2008 basic
and diluted loss per share was US$0.92, and basic and diluted loss per ADS was
US$1.84. Fourth quarter 2008 basic and diluted loss per share, excluding the

Net loss for the full year 2008 was US$53.3 million, compared to net
profit of US$42.9 million for the full year 2007. Net profit for the full year
2008 was US$67.9 million excluding the inventory write-down. Full year 2008
basic and diluted loss per share was US$0.42, and basic and diluted loss per
ADS was US$0.84. Full year 2008 basic and diluted earnings per share,
excluding the inventory write-down, was US$0.53 and US$0.52, respectively,
while basic and diluted earnings per ADS was US$1.06 and US$1.04, respectively.
2009 Outlook
As announced on March 3, 2009, ReneSola currently estimates net revenues
for 2009 to be in the range of US$650 million to US$700 million and full year
wafer shipment of between 620 MW to 670 MW. The Company has pre-sold output of
approximately 550 MW of wafers out of the 620 MW to 670 MW projected output
for 2009. The Company expects to achieve wafer manufacturing capacity of 825
MW by July 2009 with the implementation of additional production capacity
expansion to be determined by market demand.
Construction of the Sichuan polysilicon facility remains on schedule with
many facets nearing or having reached completion. Piping, wiring and equipment
installation is in progress with much of it in testing phase. Pipe rack
transmission systems are complete and ready for testing. Construction of the
trichlorosilane distillation towers and the control building is complete.
Phase 1 of the facility is expected to reach mechanical completion in the
middle of 2009 and Phase 2 mechanical completion is expected around the end of
third quarter of 2009. Each phase will have annualized production capacity of
1,500 MT of polysilicon.
