SHANGRAO, China, Aug. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (“JinkoSolar” or the “Company”) (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Second Quarter 2024 Business Highlights
Leveraging our advantages of N-type TOPCon technology, competitive products, global marketing, and manufacturing footprint, module shipments grew by 34.1% year-over-year to 23.8 GW in the second quarter, ranking first in the industry.At the end of the second quarter, we became the first module manufacturer in the world to have delivered a total of 260 GW solar modules, covering nearly 200 countries and regions.Our N-type TOPCon based perovskite tandem solar cell set a new record with conversion efficiency of 33.24%, a significant leap beyond our previous record of 32.33% for the same type of tandem cells.The mass production efficiency of N-type TOPCon cells exceeds 26.1%.Recently, we were recognized as a Tier 1 energy storage provider and a Tier 1 PV module manufacturer by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.We recently entered into a strategic partnership with Renewable Energy Localization Company and Vision Industries Company to form a joint venture in Saudi Arabia for the production of 10 GW of high-efficiency solar cells and solar modules.
Second Quarter 2024 Operational and Financial Highlights
Quarterly shipments were 25,318 MW (23,822 MW for solar modules, and 1,496 MW for cells and wafers), up 15.6% sequentially, and up 36.0% year-over-year.Total revenues were RMB24.05 billion (US$3.31 billion), up 4.4% sequentially and down 21.6% year-over-year.Gross profit was RMB2.68 billion (US$368.3 million), down 2.1% sequentially and down 44.0% year-over-year.Gross margin was 11.1%, compared with 11.9% in Q1 2024 and 15.6% in Q2 2023.Net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders was RMB 100.7 million (US$13.9 million), compared with net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders of RMB609.4 million in Q1 2024 and RMB1.31 billion in Q2 2023.Adjusted net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders, which excludes the impact from (i) a change in fair value of the convertible senior notes, (ii) a change in fair value of long-term investment, (iii) share based compensation expenses, and (iv) the net loss resulted from a fire accident at one of our production bases in Shanxi Province (the “Fire Accident”), was RMB378.5 million (US$52.1 million), compared with adjusted net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders of RMB470.3 million in Q1 2024 and RMB1.43 billion in Q2 2023.Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share were RMB0.48 (US$0.07) and RMB0.53 (US$ 0.07), respectively. This translates into basic and diluted loss per ADS of RMB 1.94 (US$0.27) and RMB2.12 (US$0.29), respectively.
Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to announce that our module shipments grew by 34.1% year-over-year to 23.8 GW in the second quarter, ranking first in the industry. By the end of the second quarter, we became the first solar company in the world to have reached accumulative module shipments of 260 GW, covering nearly 200 countries and regions. This again demonstrated the strength of our globalization strategy. Prices in several segments of the industry chain declined slightly on a sequential basis leading us to adjust our production scheduling strategy and utilization rates for different processes. We also optimized our supply chain strategy to control costs. Gross margin was 11.1% in this quarter, relatively flat sequentially. Adjusted net income was $52.1 million, a slight decrease sequentially.
Overall, global demand showed fast growth momentum in the first half of 2024. The newly added installations in China totaled 102.4 GW, up 30.7% year-over-year while total solar module exports increased by around 20% year-over-year. Thanks to our global footprint and competitive products, by the end of the second quarter, the visibility of our orderbook for 2024 exceeds 80%, enabling us to maintain an industry-leading utilization rate, particularly nearly 100% for N-type cells.
Oversupply and increasingly irrational low prices along the supply chain that have plagued our industry for some time have started to be addressed by market forces as well as government and industry control policies. Additionally, financial institutions have become more selective, favoring companies with proven technological innovation, healthy financial conditions, and strong brand recognition. As a result, some manufacturers have been forced to cut or suspend production while others have delayed, suspended or even canceled capacity expansion projects. We believe that all these measures will further accelerate the elimination of outdated capacity as well as industry consolidation, paving the way for companies with robust sustainable operations to reinforce their industry leadership.
We made good progress on several fronts. The mass-produced efficiency of our 182 mm TOPCon cells has exceeded 26.1%, and the lab efficiency of our N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell has reached 33.24%. We firmly believe that TOPCon technology still delivers the best economic performance in terms of cost, mass production yield, intellectual property protection, and customer acceptance, with further room for cost reduction and efficiency increase. In addition, we reached another milestone in our global manufacturing strategy with the recently announced strategic partnership with Renewable Energy Localization Company and Vision Industries Company to form a joint venture in Saudi Arabia for the production of 10 GW of high-efficiency solar cells and solar modules.
Despite the challenges in our industry, the strength of our N-type TOPCon technology, the competitiveness of our products, and our extensive global sales and manufacturing network have placed us in a strong position in the industry as the industry continues to address excess capacity. We will continue to implement our globalization strategy to actively seize market opportunities and mitigate market risks. We reiterate our guidance for module shipments to be between 100.0 GW and 110.0 GW for full year 2024. We expect module shipments to be between 23.0 GW and 25.0 GW for the third quarter of 2024. By the end of 2024, we expect our mass-produced N-type cell efficiency to reach 26.5%. We will continue to optimize our asset and liability structure, as well as cash flow levels, to strengthen our resistance to risks.”
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total Revenues
Total revenues in the second quarter of 2024 were RMB24.05 billion (US$3.31 billion), an increase of 4.4% from RMB23.04 billion in the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 21.6% from RMB30.69 billion in the second quarter of 2023. The sequential increase was mainly due to the increase in module shipments. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease in the average selling price of solar modules.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB2.68 billion (US$368.3 million), compared with RMB2.74 billion in the first quarter of 2024 and RMB4.78 billion in the second quarter of 2023.
Gross margin was 11.1% in the second quarter of 2024, compared with 11.9% in the first quarter of 2024 and 15.6% in the second quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the average selling price of solar modules.
Loss/Income from Operations and Operating Margin
Loss from operations in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB1.14 billion (US$156.6 million), compared with loss from operations of RMB339.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 and income from operations of RMB1.54 billion in the second quarter of 2023. The sequential increase in loss from operations was mainly due to the increase in our operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024.The change from income from operations in the second quarter of 2023 to loss from operations in the second quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to the decreases in our revenues and gross margin in the second quarter of 2024.
Operating loss margin was 4.7% in the second quarter of 2024, compared with operating loss margin of 1.5% in the first quarter of 2024 and operating profit margin of 5.0% in the second quarter of 2023.
Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were RMB3.81 billion (US$524.9 million), an increase of 24.1% from RMB3.07 billion in the first quarter of 2024 and an increase of 17.6% from RMB3.24 billion in the second quarter of 2023. The sequential and year-over-year increases were mainly due to the write-off of the net book value of the equipment resulted from the Fire Accident in Shanxi Province, which was partially offset by the estimated insurance proceeds from the Fire Accident in the second quarter of 2024.
Total operating expenses accounted for 15.9% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 13.3% in the first quarter of 2024 and 10.6% in the second quarter of 2023.
Interest Expenses, Net
Net interest expenses consist of interest expenses of RMB212.9 million (US$29.3 million) and interest income of RMB107.7 million (US$14.8 million) in the second quarter of 2024.
Net interest expenses in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB105.2 million (US$14.5 million), a decrease of 43.7% from RMB186.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 49.6% from RMB208.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. The sequential and year-over-year decreases were due to the decrease in interest-bearing debts with high interest rate.
Subsidy Income
Subsidy income in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB885.0 million (US$121.8 million), compared with RMB231.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 and RMB292.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to the changes in the cash receipt of incentives to the Company’s business operations.
Exchange Gain/Loss 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 RMB305.0 million (US$42.0 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared to a net exchange gain of RMB139.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 and a net exchange gain of RMB916.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to the exchange rate fluctuation of US dollars against RMB in the second quarter of 2024.
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. As of June 30, 2024, all the Notes with the principle amount of US$85.0 million have been converted to the ordinary shares of the Company.
The Company recognized a gain from a change in fair value of the convertible senior notes of RMB12.8 million (US$1.8 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared to a gain of RMB310.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 and a gain of RMB89.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. The sequential and year-over-year changes were primarily due to the changes in the Company’s stock price in the second quarter of 2024.
Change in Fair Value of Long-term Investment
The Company invested in certain equity interests in several solar technology companies engaged in the photovoltaic industry chain, which are recorded as long-term investment and reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had RMB849.7 million (US$116.9 million) in long-term investment, compared with RMB967.0 million as of March 31, 2024.
The Company recognized a loss from change in fair value of RMB144.2 million (US$19.8 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared with a loss of RMB55.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 and a gain of RMB2.3 million in the second quarter of 2023. The sequential and year-over-year changes were primarily due to the changes in the valuation of several solar technology companies we invested in.
Other income, net
Net other income in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB157.6 million (US$21.7 million), compared with net other income of RMB1.32 billion in the first quarter of 2024 and net other income of RMB59.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. The sequential decrease was mainly due to income generated from the disposal of a wholly-owned subsidiary in the first quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to gains from the changes in the fair value of the financial instruments in the second quarter of 2024.
Equity in Earnings 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 a 9% equity interest in Xinte Ltd, a domestic silicon material supplier, and both are accounted for using the equity method. The Company recorded equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB67.6 million (US$9.3 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared with equity in gain of RMB13.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 and RMB63.3 million in the second quarter of 2023. The fluctuations in equity in earnings of affiliated companies primarily arose from the net gain or loss incurred by the affiliate companies.
Income Tax Expense
The Company recorded an income tax expense of RMB24.8 million (US$3.4 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB476.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 and RMB341.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.
Net Loss/Income attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to RMB18.8 million (US$2.6 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared with net income of RMB351.0 million in the first quarter of 2024 and net income of RMB1.11 billion in the second quarter of 2023. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to the changes in net income of the Company’s majority-owned principal operating subsidiary, Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.
Net Loss/Income and Earnings per Share
Net loss attributable to the JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders was RMB100.7 million (US$13.9 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared with net income of RMB609.4 million in the first quarter of 2024 and net income of RMB1.31 billion in the second quarter of 2023.
Excluding the impact from (i) a change in fair value of the convertible senior notes, (ii) a change in fair value of the long-term investment, (iii) share based compensation expenses, and (iv) the net loss resulted from the Fire Accident, adjusted net income attributable to the JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders was RMB378.5 million (US$52.1 million), compared with RMB470.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 and RMB1.43 billion in the second quarter of 2023.

Earth’s pulse monitored: a review highlights remote sensing time series progress
Published
4 hours agoon
December 22, 2024By
As urbanization accelerates and environmental dynamics shift, the need for accurate and timely terrestrial monitoring has never been more urgent. A review has introduced a novel approach to remote sensing time series analysis, integrating multi-source data to enable near real-time monitoring. This innovative methodology promises to transform environmental conservation and urban planning by providing unprecedented insights into terrestrial changes and offering a more precise understanding of environmental dynamics.
GUANGZHOU, China, Dec. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — An international team of researchers from South China Normal University, the University of Connecticut, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made a significant breakthrough in remote sensing. Their review, published (DOI: 10.34133/remotesensing.0285) in the Journal of Remote Sensing on December 11, 2024, addresses key challenges in remote sensing, such as incomplete data and noise interference. The team’s new time series analysis technique leverages advanced data reconstruction and fusion methods, significantly enhancing the precision and efficiency of remote sensing for monitoring environmental changes.
The research team has developed an advanced time series analysis technique that combines deep learning algorithms with traditional remote sensing methods to integrate data from various remote sensing sources. This innovative approach allows for the extraction of subtle patterns from large, complex datasets, which is crucial for monitoring critical environmental parameters such as land use and vegetation health. Unlike conventional techniques that struggle with incomplete or noisy data, this new methodology offers enhanced accuracy and more reliable insights into terrestrial dynamics, paving the way for more effective environmental monitoring.
Central to the study’s success is the integration of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to address the challenges posed by missing or noisy data. The LSTM networks capture temporal trends over time, while the GANs generate synthetic data that mimics real-world observations to fill gaps and correct for atmospheric distortions. This dual approach has resulted in a cleaner, more accurate time series dataset, which was validated against independent ground truth measurements. The researchers demonstrated significant improvements in key vegetation indices, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), setting a new benchmark in the field of remote sensing.
Experts in the field have lauded the study’s potential to revolutionize remote sensing applications. They see the method as a transformative tool for enhancing high-resolution monitoring and extending its coverage, particularly in agricultural surveillance, urban planning, and environmental management. “This method represents a crucial advancement in our ability to monitor environmental changes,” says Professor Fu. “As it evolves, it could play a key role in addressing climate change and other global challenges.”
The methodology’s future applications are vast, especially in global environmental monitoring and supporting sustainable development goals. By integrating multi-temporal data from Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellites, the team has created a framework for accurate and continuous terrestrial analysis. As computational power advances and algorithms improve, this technology is expected to become a vital tool for natural resource management, disaster response, and climate change mitigation. In the years to come, it could provide critical data to help policymakers address pressing environmental issues on a global scale.

ZINZINO AB (PUBL.): ENTERS INTO AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE DIP FINANCING TO ZURVITA INITIATING CHAPTER 11 PROCESS
Published
5 hours agoon
December 22, 2024By
GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Dec. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Zinzino has in a press release dated 20240617 announced that a letter of intent to acquire 100% of the shares in the North American direct selling company Zurvita Inc. “Zurvita or the Company” was signed. Since then, Zinzino has negotiated with the owners of Zurvita Inc. and instead concluded that the purchase of Zurvita’s assets in a Chapter 11 proceeding for the Company is in Zinzino’s best interest.
Zinzino is providing a debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing to Zurvita, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on the 20th December 2024. By entering as a financier in Zurvita’s Chapter 11 with loans totaling USD 4.5 million, Zinzino simultaneously makes an offer to acquire the company’s assets via a so-called stalking horse bid. If the bid is accepted, the DIP loan will be converted into part of a debt-settled purchase price, which will be determined after Zurvita has completed the sale process that is subject to higher and better offers in accordance with the applicable terms of Chapter 11. Other bidders have the right to submit bids for Zurvita during the process and if another bid is accepted, Zinzino’s loan will be repaid and certain of its costs associated with the process will be reimbursed.
Zurvita is a direct selling health company with operations in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The brand portfolio offers a range of innovative health and wellness products. The business has total annual sales of approximately USD 30 million with good gross margins. A potential transaction with Zinzino is expected to add growth through the synergies arising from the joint networks, combined with Zinzino’s test-based product concept. The profitability of the Company will thus be able to develop well by utilizing Zinzino’s existing technical platform and organization.
A visionary mindset, tech first perspective, test-based nutrition at the cellular level and a strong position to capitalize on current trends will form the basis of the new partnership. Following the acquisitions of VMA Life in 2020, Enhanzz in 2022, the strategic partnership with ACN and the recently completed asset acquisition of Xelliss, Zinzino has been looking for further strong investments to maintain its sustainable, profitable growth, strengthen its distribution power, expand into new markets and leverage the product portfolio in new consumer areas.
– “Individualized advice and tailored solutions are the future, and not just in health and wellness,” says Dag Bergheim Pettersen, CEO of Zinzino. “Together, we have years of combined industry experience and everything it takes to drive the modern, personalized shopping experience through direct sales”. Jay Shafer, CEO and co-founder of Zurvita, states “After considering multiple options for the company and under the guidance of our attorneys and third-party advisors, we feel this presents the best opportunity to continue Zurvita’s mission, deliver the highest quality products, and provide continuity for our staff and consultants. We are excited to see what the future holds for Zurvita.”

Meet With Culture: Exquisite Craftsmanship of Traditional Chinese Architecture
Published
7 hours agoon
December 22, 2024By
BEIJING, Dec. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Temple of Agriculture in Beijing played a significant role during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Over nearly 600 years, 25 emperors personally visited or sent ministers to perform spring farming ceremonies and offer sacrifices to Shennong, the god of agriculture.
Built in 1420 during the Yongle reign, the temple’s predecessor was the Temple of Mountains and Rivers in Nanjing. When Emperor Zhu Di moved the Ming capital to Beijing, he constructed a larger temple inspired by the Nanjing temple, which gradually evolved into the Temple of Agriculture.
The Taisui Hall, the largest building complex in the temple, now serves as a major exhibition hall of the Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum, showcasing models of classical Chinese buildings and demonstrating the solemnity of royal architecture.
Ancient Chinese architecture is predominantly wooden-structured, chosen for its availability, versatility, and earthquake resistance. Artisans developed sophisticated techniques in material selection and construction. The wooden framework consists of columns, beams, girders, and purlins, with innovative structural forms like lifting-beam and piercing-bracket structures.
A unique architectural element is the dougong (bracket sets), which supports weight and connects beam frames with column walls. Mortise-tenon joints were invented to create elastic frameworks by connecting different components.
While discussing the Temple of Agriculture, it’s worth noting another remarkable example of architectural hierarchy which could be found in the Temple of Heaven. The hierarchy of architectural designs reflected social stratification, with eave structures like the triple-layered eaves of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest representing the highest-level architectural design.
Over centuries, the Temple of Agriculture has transformed from an imperial garden to a public park and a museum for historical architecture, now standing as a significant cultural landmark that symbolizes China’s agricultural civilization and architectural heritage along Beijing’s Central Axis.
Quickly join Alexandre to study and explore the traditional Chinese architecture.
