Gross margin was 12.0%, compared with 10.5% in the second quarter of 2017 and 19.2% in the third quarter of 2016.
Income from operations was RMB91.9 million (US$13.8 million), compared with RMB85.3 million in the second quarter of 2017 and RMB433.3 million in the third quarter of 2016.
Net income attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders from continuing operations was RMB11.3 million (US$1.7 million) in the third quarter of 2017, compared with RMB47.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 and RMB233.7 million in the third quarter of 2016.
Diluted earnings per American depositary share ("ADS") from continuing operations were RMB0.32 (US$0.04).
Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2017 was RMB25.9 million (US$3.9 million), compared with RMB61.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 and RMB271.4 million in the third quarter of 2016.
Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS from continuing operations were RMB0.80 (US$0.12) and RMB0.76 (US$0.12), respectively, in the third quarter of 2017.

Mr. Kangping Chen, JinkoSolar's Chief Executive Officer commented, "Module shipments during the quarter exceeded the high end of our guidance, reaching to 2,374MW. Total revenues hit $964.8 million, a decrease of 19% sequentially and 20.4% from the same period last year. Our gross margin rebounded to 12.0% from 10.5% last quarter as a direct result of our effective cost cutting measures and reduction in the usage of OEM manufacturers."

"Demand in China remained strong during the quarter as the distributed generation ("DG") market there grows rapidly. We have fully evaluated the various remedy recommendations from the US International Trade Commission and are awaiting its final decision on the Section 201 petition. Regardless of what the final outcome is, we strongly believe in the US solar market's long-term growth trajectory and will adjust our strategy there accordingly. Demand in Europe has shown signs of an improvement as the effects of electricity parity sink in for more countries. The Indian market is growing rapidly and is expected to become the world's third largest. The sustainable, long-term development of emerging markets such as Australia, Jordan, Egypt, Mexico and Brazil has greatly improved as solar system costs rapidly drop and regulators gain more experience in promoting green energy and organizing electricity auctions. We will continue to strengthen our leading position in various emerging markets by expanding our service teams there and enhancing our brand image."

"The optimization of our mono wafer costs and diamond wire cutting application to our multi wafer production lines remain on track and are expected to be completed next quarter. Our tech team continues to make solid progress in developing half-cell and bifacial n-type cells technologies. We also made progress in developing new technologies such as Hydride Oxide Thin Film. Overall, we will continue to allocate resources towards innovating new and exciting solar technologies to strengthen our leading position in the market."

"I remain confident in the long-term sustainability of our business as we continue to devote resources towards developing new technologies and supporting the expansion of our market share in exciting and rapidly growing markets."

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Total Revenues

Total revenues in the third quarter of 2017 were RMB6.42 billion (US$964.8 million), a decrease of 19.0% from RMB7.92 billion in the second quarter of 2017 and an increase of 20.4% from RMB5.33 billion in the third quarter of 2016. The sequential decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in solar module shipments. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to an increase in solar module shipments which was partially offset by a decline in average selling price ("ASP") of solar modules in the third quarter of 2017.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2017 was RMB772.4 million (US$116.1 million), compared with RMB834.8 million in the second quarter of 2017 and RMB1.03 billion in the third quarter of 2016. The sequential decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in solar module shipments. The year-over-year decrease was mainly attributable to a decline in ASPs of solar modules in the third quarter of 2017.

Gross margin was 12.0% in the third quarter of 2017, compared with 10.5% in the second quarter of 2017 and 19.2% in the third quarter of 2016. The sequential increase was mainly attributable to the Company's effective cost control measures and reduction in the usage of OEM manufacturers. The year-over-year decrease was mainly attributable to a decline in ASPs of solar modules in the third quarter of 2017.

Income from Operations and Operating Margin

Income from operations in the third quarter of 2017 was RMB91.9 million (US$13.8 million), compared with RMB85.3 million in the second quarter of 2017 and RMB433.3 million in the third quarter of 2016. Operating margin in the third quarter of 2017 was 1.4%, compared with 1.1% in the second quarter of 2017 and 8.1% in the third quarter of 2016.

Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2017 were RMB680.5 million (US$102.3 million), a decrease of 9.2% from RMB749.5 million in the second quarter of 2017 and an increase of 14.8% from RMB592.8 million in the third quarter of 2016. The sequential decease was mainly due to a decrease in shipping costs which was in line with the decline in solar module shipments. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase in shipping costs, which was in line with the increase in solar module shipments, and partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expenses due to the reversal of allowance for doubtful accounts upon subsequent collections.

Total operating expenses accounted for 10.6% of total revenues in the third quarter of 2017, compared to 9.5% in the second quarter of 2017 and 11.1% in the third quarter of 2016.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense in the third quarter of 2017 was RMB52.3 million (US$7.9 million), a decrease of 35.1% from RMB80.6 million in the second quarter of 2017 and a decrease of 60.6% from RMB132.9 million in the third quarter of 2016. The sequential and year-over–year decreases were due to a decrease in interest expenses associated with the discounted notes receivable.

Exchange Gain / (Loss), Net

The Company recorded a net exchange loss (including change in fair value of forward contracts) of RMB49.3 million (US$7.4 million) in the third quarter of 2017, compared to a net exchange loss of RMB34.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 and a net exchange loss of RMB7.2 million in the third quarter of 2016. The Company recorded a net exchange loss of RMB49.3 million(US$7.4 million) in the third quarter of 2017 due to the depreciation of US dollars against RMB.

Income Tax Expense / (Benefit), Net

The Company recorded an income tax expense of RMB4.5 million (US$0.7 million) in the third quarter of 2017, compared with an income tax benefit of RMB32.5 million in the second quarter of 2017 and an income tax expense of RMB116.0 million in the third quarter of 2016.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), JinkoSolar uses certain non-GAAP financial measures including, non-GAAP net income , non-GAAP earnings per Share, non-GAAP earnings per ADS, and non-GAAP diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding, which are adjusted from the comparable GAAP results to exclude certain expenses or incremental ordinary shares relating to share-based compensation, convertible senior notes and capped call options:

Non-GAAP net income is adjusted to exclude the expenses relating to changes in fair value of convertible senior notes and capped call options, interest expenses of convertible senior notes, exchange gain on the convertible senior notes and capped call options, stock-based compensation, allocation of net income to redeemable non-controlling interests, and accretion to redemption value of redeemable non-controlling interests; given these Non-GAAP net income adjustments above are either related to the Company or its subsidiaries incorporated in Cayman Islands, which are not subject to tax exposures, or related to those subsidiaries with tax loss positions which result in no tax impacts, therefore no tax adjustment is needed in conjunction with these Non-GAAP net income adjustments; and
Non-GAAP earnings per Share and non-GAAP earnings per ADS are adjusted to exclude the expenses relating to the issuance costs of convertible senior notes, changes in fair value of convertible senior notes and capped call options, interest expenses of convertible senior notes and exchange gain on the convertible senior notes and capped call options, stock-based compensation, and accretion to redemption value of redeemable non-controlling interests.

The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP information is useful for analysts and investors to evaluate JinkoSolar's current and future performances based on a more meaningful comparison of net income and diluted net income per ADS when compared with its peers and historical results from prior periods. These measures are not intended to represent or substitute numbers as measured under GAAP. The submission of non-GAAP numbers is voluntary and should be reviewed together with GAAP results.
