Total gross profit for the second quarter 2008 was RMB 288.4 million (US$42.1 million) compared to RMB 110.1 million (US$16.1 million) in the second quarter 2007, and RMB 235.9 million (US$34.4 million) in the first quarter 2008. Gross margin was 23.3% in the second quarter 2008 compared to 24.1% in the second quarter 2007, and 21.0% in the first quarter 2008.
Interest expense for the second quarter 2008 was RMB 32.9 million (US$4.8 million), compared to RMB 0.96 million (US$0.14 million) in the second quarter of 2007. This compares to RMB 0.49 million (US$0.07 million) in the first quarter 2008. The increase was attributable to amortization of expenses and interest charges related to the senior convertible notes issued in May 2008.
Net income available to ordinary shareholders for the second quarter 2008 was RMB 318.6 million (US$46.4 million) compared to net income available to ordinary shareholders of RMB 75.7 million (US$11.0 million) for the second quarter 2007, and net income available to ordinary shareholders of RMB 154.5 million (US$22.5 million) for the first quarter 2008.
For the second quarter of 2008, diluted net loss, after adjusting for the mark-to-market change in the fair value of the Company's conversion option, amortization of the issuance costs, and interest expense and exchange gain associated with the senior convertible notes, was RMB -7.0 million (US$-1.0 million).
For the second quarter of 2008, basic and diluted net income/loss per ADS were RMB 2.06 (US$0.30) and RMB -0.04 (US$-0.01), respectively. This compares to basic and diluted net income per ADS of RMB 0.55 (US$0.08) and RMB 0.54 (US$0.08), respectively, for the same period of 2007; and RMB 1.00 (US$0.15) and RMB 0.99 (US$0.14), respectively, for the first quarter 2008.
For the second quarter 2008, on a non-GAAP basis, adjusted to exclude stock based compensation and changes in fair value of the embedded derivatives underlying the senior convertible notes and capped call options, non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS were RMB 1.04 (US$0.15) and RMB 0.99 (US$0.14), respectively. This compares to non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS of RMB 0.63 (US$0.09) and RMB 0.63 (US$0.09), respectively, for the same period of 2007; and, RMB 1.35 (US$0.20) and RMB 1.34 (US$0.20), respectively, for the first quarter 2008. Please refer to Note 3 set forth at the end of this release.
Second Quarter 2008 Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2008, JA Solar had cash and cash equivalents of RMB 3.57 billion (US$519.8 million), compared with RMB 1.57 billion (US$228.3 million) at the end of the second quarter 2007, and RMB 1.45 billion (US$211.5 million) at the end of the first quarter 2008.
On May 19, 2008, the Company issued US$400 million 4.50% senior convertible notes due May 15, 2013 ("Notes"). The terms of the Notes include certain conversion, early redemption option and conversion rate adjustment features. The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company's stock, cash, or a combination of stock and cash. Concurrent with this offering, the Company entered into capped call transactions with financial institutions that are affiliates of the joint book-running managers of the Notes offering. The capped call transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes. Total issuance costs of the senior convertible notes were approximately US$11 million. Total consideration of the capped call options was approximately US$32 million.
The Company's functional currency is different from the denomination of the Notes and capped call options and the Company's early redemption option is contingent upon its ADS price. Therefore, in accordance with SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," the Company accounted for the conversion feature, early redemption option and conversion rate adjustment feature (together, "Embedded Derivatives") as a freestanding instrument separately in the balance sheet. The Notes were recorded with a discount equal to the value of the Embedded Derivatives at the transaction date and will be accreted to the redemption value of the Notes over the life of the Notes. The change in fair value of the Embedded Derivatives and Capped Call options are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
13,125,520 ADS's were borrowed by affiliates of the joint book-running managers in connection with the senior convertible notes offering. The Company believes that under U.S. GAAP the borrowed ADS's are not to be considered outstanding for the purpose of computing and reporting its net income per ordinary share and per ADS.
Capital expenditures were RMB 264.1 million (US$38.5 million) in the second quarter 2008, as compared to RMB 47.4 million (US$6.9 million) in the second quarter 2007, and RMB 69.5 million (US$10.1 million) in the first quarter 2008. Depreciation and amortization expenses in the second quarter 2008 were RMB 16.4 million (US$2.4 million), as compared to RMB 6.3 million (US$0.9 million) in the second quarter 2007, and RMB 13.5 million (US$2.0 million) in the first quarter 2008.
Daniel Lui, JA Solar's CFO, said, "Steady wafer supply coupled with fast ramp up of new solar cell manufacturing lines and continued production process improvement helped drive second quarter revenue and profit growth. For the second quarter, margins fluctuated from the prior quarter due to a higher percentage of solar processing revenue that was partly due to faster than scheduled ramp up of our production facilities in Hebei, and partly due to solar cells sale back to certain strategic long term wafer suppliers. Operating profit sequentially increased to RMB 216.3 million in the second quarter from RMB 163.6 million in first quarter as a result of our scheduled capacity expansion and tight control of operating costs. As we head into the second half of 2008, the Company has a high level of cash on hand. The Company is preparing to commence operations at our Yangzhou production facility that is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter and plans to deploy a company-wide state-of-the-art enterprise resource planning system by the year end or early next year."
The conversion of Renminbi into U.S. dollars in this release, made solely for the convenience of the reader, is based on the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of Renminbi as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of June 30, 2008, which was RMB 6.8591 to US$1.0000. No representation is intended to imply that the Renminbi amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into U.S. dollars at that rate on June 30, 2008, or at any other date. The percentages stated in this press release are calculated based on Renminbi.
2008 Outlook
Based on current customer demand and market forecasts, the Company reiterated its expectations for revenue for the full year 2008 in the range of RMB 7.22 billion (US$1.05 billion) to RMB 8.02 billion (US$1.17 billion). The revenue guidance in RMB remains unchanged from the first quarter of 2008. The higher amount in USD is due to a lower USD/RMB exchange rate used in the second quarter 2008 than in the first quarter 2008. Gross margin for 2008 is expected to remain above 20%.
Our target for total production output has been updated to the range of 340MW to 350MW for 2008, with total annual production capacity in the range of 500MW to 600MW by year-end 2008. Ten new solar cell manufacturing lines are scheduled to go on line in Ningjin, Hebei province, where four of these lines were installed as of July 31, 2008 and the remaining six will be installed by October 31, 2008. At the new Yangzhou production facility, the Company plans to install three 25 MW lines by the end of the fourth quarter 2008, totaling 75 MW of new capacity at this facility. Total capital expenditures for 2008 are expected to be RMB 966.8 million (US$141.0 million), primarily for capacity expansion. R&D expense is expected to be RMB 34.3 million (US$5.0 million).
2009 Outlook
The Company has established 2009 guidance based on market forecasts. For the full year 2009, revenue is expected to increase by over 85% as compared to 2008 and to be in the range of RMB 13.6 billion (US$2.0 billion) to RMB 15.0 billion (US$2.2 billion). Gross margin is projected to exceed 20%.
Total production output is expected to be in the range of 650 MW to 750 MW, with total production capacity projected to exceed 1 GW by the end of 2009.
