In the second quarter, we continued to focus on sales and marketing to build our brand image and introduced our proprietary technology to customers across multiple international markets. We have received positive feedback from customers on the quality of our products and continued to win repeat business. Additionally, we developed new downstream products such as mounting systems and inverters, which have received certification in more than 20 countries so far this year. Despite what remains a challenging macro environment and a fiercely competitive solar industry, we are optimistic our investments will set us up for long-term growth and continued geographic expansion.”

 

Second Quarter 2013 Results

 

Solar Wafer and Module Shipments

 

      2Q13       1Q13       2Q12       Q-o-Q%       Y-o-Y%  
Total Solar Wafer and Module Shipments (MW)     849.3       662.1       497.3       28.3 %     70.8 %
Wafer Shipments (MW)     415.2       335.5       341.0       23.8 %     21.8 %
Module Shipments (MW)     434.1       326.6       156.3       32.9 %     177.7 %

 

 
 

 

 

 

The sequential increase in solar product shipments was mainly the result of an increase in demand for the Company’s solar modules, particularly in the United States and Japan.

 

Net Revenues

  

      2Q13       1Q13       2Q12       Q-o-Q%       Y-o-Y%  
Net Revenues (US$mln)  $377.4   $284.2   $233.0    32.8%   61.9%

 

Revenues in Q2 2013 increased quarter over quarter due to an increase in the average selling prices ("ASPs") of solar wafers and modules from US$0.22 per watt (“W”) and US$0.61/W, respectively, to US$0.23/W and US$0.63/W, respectively, as well as to an increase in module shipments.

 

Gross Profit (Loss)

 

      2Q13       1Q13       2Q12       Q-o-Q%       Y-o-Y%  
Gross Profit (Loss) (US$mln)  $27.4   ($5.6)  $1.3    -    2007.7%
Gross Margin   7.3%   (2.0%)   0.6%   -    - 

 

The increase in gross profit was mainly due to an increase in module ASPs.

 

Operating Loss

 

      2Q13       1Q13       2Q12       Q-o-Q%       Y-o-Y%  
Operating Expenses (US$mln)  $44.0   $27.8   $35.9    58.3%   22.6%
Operating Loss (US$mln)  $(16.6)  $(33.4)  $(34.6)   50.4%   52.2%
Operating Margin   (4.4%)   (11.8%)   (14.9%)   -    - 

 

The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to a significant increase in the Company’s research and development (“R&D”) expenses. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was mainly due to an increase in shipping fees and logistics expenses, which were consistent with the increase in solar module shipments.

 

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)

 

The Company had a foreign exchange loss of US$1.1 million in Q2 2013, compared to a loss of US$3.0 million in Q1 2013. The Company also recognized a US$1.2 million gain on foreign currency derivatives, compared to a gain of US$3.9 million in Q1 2013.

Business Highlights

 

Research and Development

 

ReneSola increased its R&D investment in Q2 2013 to improve its technology, products, and manufacturing processes. In Q2 2013, the Company continued to invest in the technology and production of modules and wafers, as well as its second-generation Replus microinverter, string inverter, off-grid energy storage systems, and mounting systems.

 

 
 

 

 

 

With regard to solar wafers, the Company’s next generation Virtus A+++ wafer, with an average efficiency of 0.15%-0.20% higher than that of Virtus A++, achieved mass production in Q2 2013. With the new technology, the Virtus A+++ wafer has shown highly concentrated cell efficiency distribution and an improved efficiency rate.

 

Regarding solar modules, the Company’s ZEP-compatible module, which is easy to install and handle, also achieved mass production. The Company has invested in the development of light PV panels with strengthened frame structures, as well as black-color modules with low working temperatures, which can significantly enhance their efficiency.

 

ReneSola continues to invest in its second-generation Mirco Replus microinverter, while optimizing the first generation of the model based on firsthand data from its worldwide network of microinverter plants. During the second quarter, the Replus microinverter and string inverter received numerous certifications, including ETL, TÜV SÜD, VED and CE, in many key markets. At the same time, over 70 models of the Company’s LED products have received TÜV certification. The Company has also developed a tile roof system and pitched tin roof system that are expected to receive Australia (AS/NZS 1170) certification and TÜV certification and that are already available for order. The Company’s first off-grid energy storage system model has also been completed and is now available for order.
