SHANGRAO, China, Oct. 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Third Quarter 2024 Business Highlights
Leveraging our advantages in N-type TOPCon technology, competitive products, global marketing, and manufacturing footprint, our module shipments ranked first in the industry for both the third quarter and the first three quarters of the year.At the end of the third quarter, we became the first module manufacturer in the world to have delivered a total of over 280 GW solar modules.N-type module shipments accounted for approximately 90% of our module shipments globally in the third quarter.The mass production efficiency of N-type TOPCon cells reached approximately 26.2%.We published our first Climate White Paper at the 2024 New York Climate Week.We were recently recognized as a Tier 1 energy storage provider by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
Third Quarter 2024 Operational and Financial Highlights
Quarterly shipments were 25,910 MW (23,838 MW for solar modules, and 2,072 MW for cells and wafers), up 2.3% sequentially, and up 14.7% year-over-year.Total revenues were RMB24.51 billion (US$3.49 billion), up 1.9% sequentially and down 23.0% year-over-year.Gross profit was RMB3.86 billion (US$549.4 million), up 44.0% sequentially and down 37.1% year-over-year.Gross margin was 15.7%, compared with 11.1% in Q2 2024 and 19.3% in Q3 2023.Net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders was RMB22.5 million (US$3.2 million), compared with net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders of RMB100.7 million in Q2 2024 and net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders of RMB1.32 billion in Q3 2023.Adjusted net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders was RMB103.9 million (US$14.8 million), which excluded the impact from (i) a change in fair value of the convertible senior notes, (ii) a change in fair value of long-term investments, (iii) share based compensation expenses, (iv) the net loss resulting from a fire accident at one of our production bases in Shanxi Province in April 2024 (the “Fire Accident”) and (v) the impairment of long-lived assets, compared with adjusted net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders of RMB378.5 million in Q2 2024 and RMB1.35 billion in Q3 2023.Basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share were RMB0.11 (US$0.02) and RMB0.11 (US$0.02), respectively. This translates into basic and diluted earnings per ADS of RMB0.44 (US$0.06) and RMB0.44 (US$0.06), respectively.
Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “While earnings were under pressure across the industry during the quarter, we achieved relatively outstanding results leveraging our leading position in N-type TOPCon technology, competitive products, as well as our global sales and manufacturing networks. Imbalance between supply and demand led to continuous price decline in the end market, causing losses to almost the whole industrial chain. As we worked to balance utilization rates, shipments and profitability, prices in the third quarter were stable sequentially, and shipments to the U.S. increased significantly quarter-over-quarter. We also continued to optimize our integrated cost through technical advancements and supply chain management. Gross margin was 15.7%, and net income was $3.2 million, both improved significantly sequentially.
In September, the newly added installation was 20.89 GW in China, up 32.4% year-over-year and 26.9% sequentially, reversing the sequential decline in the previous two months while module exports decreased sequentially due to seasonality in some overseas markets. With profitability throughout the whole industrial chain under pressure, some companies have gone bankrupt, reorganized or been acquired. This month, the China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA) held symposiums aimed at encouraging manufacturers to adopt self-discipline in their pricing strategies and production volume management. It also released a report calling on manufacturers to participate in biddings rationally and avoid selling or bidding below cost. The report also called on bid organizers to formulate healthy bidding processes that prioritize products and service quality as well as contract fulfillment. We believe these measures could help eliminate uncompetitive capacity and accelerate industry consolidation and that, with enhanced supervision, domestic prices will eventually return to reasonable levels.
We further consolidated our competitiveness, improving the mass-produced efficiency of our N-type TOPCon cells to nearly 26.2% at the end of the third quarter. As TOPCon technology is evolving rapidly, we have continued to invest in R&D and are gradually adopting certain new technologies into mass production based on market demand, equipment investments, and payback periods, to maintain a leading position in the industry. Also, we have further improved our smart production capabilities to lead the industry in digital transformation. Our new Jinko 360 Smart Platform, which has been certified by TÜV Rheinland, can achieve real-time equipment monitoring in most of our production processes and ensure whole-process management from warehousing of raw materials to warehousing of finished products.
As we navigate through cycles, we expect that the leading enterprises in our industry will emerge ahead thanks to their superior cost control, extensive sales networks, and effective cash flow management. In the long term, they will continue to benefit from continuous investments in R&D and expansion of their global capabilities. We will continue to focus on balancing market structure and profit margin levels and we expect module shipments to be between 90.0 GW to 100.0 GW for full year 2024. We will also continue to optimize our assets and liabilities structure, as well as turnover efficiency, further strengthening our resilience to risks.
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total Revenues
Total revenues in the third quarter of 2024 were RMB24.51 billion (US$3.49 billion), an increase of 1.9% from RMB24.05 billion in the second quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 23.0% from RMB31.83 billion in the third 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 compared to the third quarter of 2023.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB3.86billion (US$549.4 million), compared with RMB2.68 billion in the second quarter of 2024 and RMB6.13 billion in the third quarter of 2023.
Gross margin was 15.7% in the third quarter of 2024, compared with 11.1% in the second quarter of 2024 and 19.3% in the third quarter of 2023. The sequential increase was mainly due to the increase in average selling price of the solar modules compared to the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the average selling price of solar modules compared to the third quarter of 2023.
Income/Loss from Operations and Operating Margin
Income from operations in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB75.5 million (US$10.8 million), compared with loss from operations of RMB1.14 billion in the second quarter of 2024 and income from operations of RMB2.99 billion in the third quarter of 2023. The fluctuations were primarily attributable to the changes in our revenues and gross margin in the third quarter of 2024.

The sequential and year-over-year increases were due to the increase in interest-bearing debts in the third quarter of 2024.
Subsidy Income
Subsidy income in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB431.8 million (US$61.5 million), compared with RMB885.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 and RMB64.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to the changes in the cash receipt of incentives related to the Company’s business operations.
Exchange Loss/Gain and Change in Fair Value of Foreign Exchange Derivatives
The Company recorded a net exchange loss (including change in fair value of foreign exchange derivatives) of RMB251.9 million (US$35.9 million) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to a net exchange gain of RMB305.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 and a net exchange loss of RMB295.8 million in the third 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 third 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.

Swayable appoints top advertising industry executive to drive enterprise growth and support
NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Swayable, the world’s most powerful creative pre-testing platform, announced today the appointment of marketing industry veteran Tyler Montague as Vice President of Customer Success.
Montague comes to Swayable with over 25 years of advertising and marketing communications experience with agencies including executive roles at Ogilvy, Saatchi, and Grey. In his new role, he will build and scale a customer service and account expansion model to support Swayable best-in-class creative testing platform.
“I am excited to welcome Tyler to our executive team,” said James Slezak, CEO and Founder of Swayable. “His deep understanding of the advertising landscape, relationship management, and track record of expansion will be key to our next phase of scaling and growth.”
Montague has been part of multiple agency leadership teams and has helped both US and Global clients across a range of categories and sectors navigate the ever-changing creative landscape.
“One of the reasons I’m excited to join Swayable is because I see so much value in fueling a more iterative creative process with more real-time customer feedback. Swayable’s pre-testing platform opens up a whole new world of experimentation and exploration, where work can be informed by data as you go rather than judged too late in the process.”
Tyler’s most recent agency experience is in the health sector, where improving agility and speed has become an increasingly important priority – and one that’s an increasingly difficult challenge as brands grapple with the tension between being agile and data-led across a broad range of content and channels.
About Swayable
Swayable is the world’s most powerful creative pre-testing platform, measuring how content changes minds. The company was founded by Dr James Slezak, Physics Ph.D. from Cornell, who saw the opportunity to apply experimental science and cloud computing to understand how campaigns persuade. Swayable is now used by major brands like AirBnB, Amazon, Meta, Paramount, T-Mobile, and Uber to identify which messaging, concepts, and advertisements will be most effective with target consumers. This drives significant increases in cost-efficiency and effectiveness of advertising spend.

Storj Promotes Colby Winegar to CEO to lead the Distributed Cloud Services Platform into its Next Chapter of Growth and Impact

Ben Golub to continue leading the Board of Directors as Executive Chair, collaborating with Winegar
ATLANTA, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Storj today announces Colby Winegar has been promoted to lead the rapidly growing distributed cloud platform provider as CEO. He has served as Storj’s Chief Revenue Officer for several years, driving pivotal strategic partnerships, technical alliances, acquisitions and new customers that have transformed the organization from a provider of distributed cloud object storage to a robust distributed cloud platform providing distributed storage, on-demand high-performance GPU compute and client mount file management.
Prior to Storj, Colby co-founded and led CrowdStorage, which was the world’s largest distributed cloud storage platform connecting underutilized storage space across geographies to provide secure, reliable, affordable cloud storage. He scaled CrowdStorage to serve over 1,000 customers, including Western Digital and Vivint. Colby also oversaw strategic partnerships and new growth opportunities for Vivint Smart Home, the leading smart home services provider in North America, where he launched partnerships with Best Buy and Airbnb.
“Colby has been instrumental to Storj’s most significant developments, from the acquisitions of Valdi and PetaGene this year, to cultivating outstanding customers and building an award-winning partner ecosystem,” said Ben Golub, outgoing Storj CEO and current Executive Board Chairperson. “He is uniquely suited with skills, experience, leadership and vision needed to continue driving Storj towards its full potential.”
Golub has served as Storj’s CEO and Executive Chair for just over six years. Initially joining as interim CEO, Golub has been in the process of transitioning CEO responsibilities to Winegar over the last six months. Golub will continue as Executive Chair. To backfill Colby’s prior CRO role as he moves into the CEO role, Storj recently hired a direct sales team leader and promoted an individual to run the channel sales team. They now both report directly to Colby.
Storj is disrupting the $2 trillion cloud services market with distributed solutions that yield up to 90% lower costs and 83% less carbon emissions for customers. By leveraging distributed resources, spanning storage, compute, GPU, and filemount, Storj is uniquely positioned to accelerate the world’s most challenging distributed workflow use cases – from video production to AI training and inference. Enterprise organizations are quickly embracing the advantages of the distributed cloud – particularly due to its cost-efficiency and sustainability – without compromising on performance, scalability and security.
Colby says, “Especially with AI adoption accelerating across industries, enterprises need new solutions to manage skyrocketing amounts of data while innovating more rapidly, affordably and sustainably. Storj is poised to provide this, unburdened by crushing procurement and infrastructure liabilities that hyperscalers like Amazon, Microsoft and Google are inherently hampered by. I’m proud to step into the CEO role and continue leading the company’s direction together with technical alliance partners, customers and resellers which increasingly recognize the transformative capabilities Storj delivers through its distributed cloud.”
Storj’s S3 compatible storage architecture leverages unused capacity distributed across drives and data centers in over 100 countries and over 20,000 points of presence. It also provides GPUs on-demand via its distributed global network and offers a client mount so customers can easily treat file storage the same as object storage and vice-versa.
Storj is now the largest successful DePIN organization in the world, and has successfully bridged the gap between Web3 innovation and rigorous Enterprise requirements. The company’s growth and success has elevated market receptivity for DePIN solutions as a whole, and together with partners including LivePeer, Akash, POKT and HiveMapper. With data storage and compute emerging as a top contributor of carbon emissions and expense for organizations – distributed solutions like Storj’s deliver an infinitely, rapidly scalable solution by eliminating supply chain and resource demands, and waste. Storj delivers speed, scalability, security, reliability and sustainability by design, and is meeting the most high-performance data-intensive compute demands.
“It has been extremely gratifying to see the progress that Storj has made in pioneering a new, distributed approach to cloud services,” said Brian Lillie, Storj Board member and President of Rackspace Private Cloud. “I’d like to thank Ben for his leadership in bringing Storj to this position and congratulate Colby on his new and expanded role.”
About Storj
Storj is redefining the cloud to advance the future of data—sustainably and economically. Storj leverages the vast global supply of underutilized resources to deliver services with better security, durability and performance. Experience up to 90% lower costs and carbon reduction with Storj. Follow Storj on LinkedIn, X and Instagram.
