Dear Shareholders,
2018 was an excellent year for ReneSola, as we executed on the business transformation strategy we initiated fifteen months ago. Strong operating and financial results reflect growing business momentum and improving earnings power. Although revenue declined 6% year-over-year, we meaningfully improved our profitability. Operating and net profit grew 137% and 59%, respectively. In 2018, we successfully connected 27.2 MW of DG projects in China, 58.4 MW of DG projects in Europe, and 6.8 MW of solar power projects in the U.S. Furthermore, our healthy balance sheet provides the financial flexibility to drive growth. Our global late-stage pipeline increased to 772.5 MW, while our total project pipeline is a robust 1.7 GW.
We are enthusiastic about our opportunities around the world. With our talented team, diversified geographic coverage and track record of success at every stage of project development, we are well-positioned to deliver profitable growth in the years ahead.
Full Year 2018 Highlights
Below are financial and operating highlights for the full year 2018. The modest revenue decline was more than offset by improving margins and solid expense control, resulting in attractive growth in operating income, EBITDA, and net income.

Revenue
Fourth quarter revenue was $5.6 million, down substantially both year-over-year and sequentially and well below guidance. Two asset sales we expected to have completed in Hungary (7.7 MW) and Poland (14 MW) were delayed, as due diligence on those assets took longer than anticipated. Energy sales were $5.4 million, mostly from the 37.9 million KwH generated by our rooftop DG projects in China.
Full year revenue of $96.9 million was down from 2017 mainly because of the project sales that slipped out of Q4. Had those sales been recognized as planned, revenue would have been up 14% year-over-year, representing our second consecutive year of growth.
Gross Profits and Gross Margin
Gross profit was $2.9 million in Q4 of 2018, yielding a gross margin of 51.4%. This compares to a gross profit of $8.6 million and gross margin of 45.9% in Q3 of 2018, and a gross profit of $6.8 million and gross margin of 10.5% in Q4 of 2017. The increase in gross margin was due to the improved margin from project sales For the full year 2018, gross profit was $28.1 million, yielding a gross margin of 29.0%. This compares to a gross profit of $14.1 million and gross margin of 13.7% in 2017. The better gross margin was due to the disposal of the manufacturing business in the second half of 2017, combined with the greater proportion of higher-margin electricity sales.
Operating Expenses
Q4 operating expenses were $4.8 million, up from $2.9 million in Q3 of 2018 and $1.9 million in Q4 of 2017. Both sales and marketing expenses of $0.5 million and general and administrative expenses of $2.5 million were generally unchanged sequentially, as the Company exercised disciplined expense control.
Operating loss in Q4 of 2018 was $1.9 million, compared to operating income of $5.7 million in Q3 of 2018 and operating income of $4.9 million in Q4 of 2017. Operating margin was -34% in Q4 of 2018, compared to 30.4% in Q3 of 2018.
ReneSola Q4 and Full Year 2018 Letter to Shareholders
For the full year 2018, operating expenses were $12.5 million, up from $7.6 million in 2017. Sales and marketing expenses were $0.9 million, down from $1.7 million in 2017. General and administrative expenses were $10.2 million, up from $6.2 million in 2017. Operating income was $15.5 million in 2018, compared to $6.6 million in 2017. Operating margin was 16.0% in the full year of 2018, up from 6.4% in 2017.
Net Income
Net loss was $4.3 million in Q4 of 2018, compared to net income $3.6 million in Q3 of 2018 and net income of $1.7 million in Q4 of 2017. Net income was $5.1 million in the full year 2018, compared to $3.2 million in 2017.
Financial Position
Our balance sheet remains healthy. We had year-end cash and equivalents of $6.8 million, down $1.3 million over the course of the quarter. We incurred capital expenditures for construction activity on our projects in Poland and Hungary. Long-term borrowings were $41.4 million as of December 31, 2018, compared to $73.3 million as of September 30, 2018. The decrease was mainly due to the reclassification of the $40.7 million Poland construction loan from long term borrowings to short term borrowings, which are due in December 2019. Long-term failed sale-lease back and capital lease liabilities, associated with the financial leasing payables for rooftop projects in China, were $77.9 million as of December 31, 2018, compared to $79.9 million as of September 30, 2018.
Project Pipeline
The development pipeline is strong at around 1.7 GW, of which 773 MW are late-stage. This late stage features 772.5 megawatts in the US, Canada, Poland, France, Hungary, Spain, India, South Korea, Vietnam, and China. Approximately 54 .3MW of the late stage is under construction.
Late-stage projects include (i) projects with the legal right to develop based on definitive agreements, including the projects held by project SPVs or joint-ventured project SPVs where control can be purchased by the Company once the late stage is reached, and (ii) projects for which a PPA or FiT has been arranged.

Operating Assets and Completed Projects for Sale
We continue to pursue opportunities around the world. We believe our development strategy can capitalize on key trends in solar energy development, such as rooftop DG and community solar. Our risk profile is attractive, due to the geographic diversification of our assets. We currently own 231.7 MW of operating rooftop projects. Of the 231.7 MW of assets, we operate 212 MW of rooftop projects in China, 15.4 MW in Romania, and 4.3 MW in the United Kingdom. Looking ahead, we have 11.6 MW of rooftop projects under construction in China.

Development Update by Region
China
In China, we now operate approximately 212 MW of rooftop solar, concentrated in a few eastern provinces with favorable development environments. The commercial and industrial electricity prices in those provinces are relatively high, and electricity off-takers are generally credit-worthy enterprises. Self-consumption DG projects in those provinces are attractive investments. In order to evolve the Company into an asset-light solar project developer, we expect eventually to monetize our China DG assets. This will further strengthen our balance sheet, reduce leverage, and improve cash flow.
ReneSola Q4 and Full Year 2018 Letter to Shareholders
In addition to DG projects, we intend to develop and monetize 350MW of ground-mounted unsubsidized projects located in the Northern provinces in 2019.

United States
The US remains a large and important market for us. Our late-stage projects total 340.2 MW, of which 119.1 MW are community solar projects in Minnesota and New York. Additionally, we are pursuing small utility-scale projects in Utah, Texas, Florida, Arizona, Colorado and California. Of the late-stage projects, 24.1 MW of which are under construction and expected to be connected to the grid in the second quarter of 2019.
On March 15, 2019, ReneSola and Nautilus Solar Energy announced Nautilus's acquisition of a 21.1 MW community solar portfolio in Minnesota that was developed by ReneSola. Nautilus is a leading U.S. company engaged in solar project acquisition, development and asset management. This project portfolio represents Nautilus’s third acquisition of community solar assets from ReneSola. Similar to the previous acquisitions announced between both parties in 2017 and 2018, this community solar portfolio is also qualified under Xcel Energy's industry leading community solar program.

Poland
In Poland, we have total projects of 37 MW, of which 11MW are under construction. We plan for the 11 MW to come online gradually throughout the second quarter of 2019. These are all part of the projects awarded to us in the government auction last year. Our Poland portfolio consists of 55 installations of 1 MW each.
In November of 2018, we announced that we were awarded 26 solar utility projects in Poland with capacity of 1 MW for each. All of these 26 projects are under the CFD regime and eligible for a 15-year guaranteed tariff of PLN 354.8 to 358.8 per MWh, close to the highest auction price of PLN 364.9/MWh. We are excited to once again have been awarded the utility projects in Poland. This project win validates our ability to deliver reliable, cost-competitive distributed power to serve the growing energy demand in the region.

Hungary
In Hungary, we continue to invest in small-scale DG projects. Our late-stage pipeline has more than 67 “micro projects”, with an average size of 0.5 MW per project, bringing total capacity to 33.6 MW. All of these “micro projects” will start construction in the second quarter of 2019.
Additionally, in February of 2019, we announced that we entered into a bridge financing agreement with Eiffel Energy Transition Fund for our solar projects in Hungary and Poland. Under the terms of the agreement, Eiffel Energy Transition Fund will finance ReneSola's 41.3 MW projects in Hungary and 55MW projects in Poland in the amount of 13,428,000 Euro. This facility demonstrates the confidence that the capital markets put in our ability to successfully develop projects in these geographies. We continue to expect both Hungary and Poland to be growth markets for us in the years ahead.

In India, we have secured a project pipeline of 50 MW. Most projects are ground-mounted open access projects, similar to U.S. community solar. Indian projects can sell electricity to different commercial & industrial off-takers under long-term PPAs. Our strategy in India is a pure project developer model. We would like to develop projects to the shovel-ready stage and then sell the project rights to investors. This model allows us to leverage our expertise in project development and our global network of solar project investors.

Outlook
For 2019, we expect our project business to generate revenue in the range of $150 to $170 million and overall gross margin in the range of 20% to 25%. For the first quarter of 2019, we expect revenue to be in the range of $8 to $10 million and overall gross margin in the range of 0% to 5%. The majority of our operating expenses are headcount related. We ended the year with 222 full-time employees, down from 314 employees in 2017. We will continue to streamline our operations with prudent cost control.
Conclusion
Our strategy is to execute a global asset-light project development model, with a focus on distributed generation and community solar. Our revenue streams come from the sale of shovel-ready project rights, the sale of build-and-transfer projects after grid connection, and the sale of electricity from IPP business . Our best margins result from monetizing project rights and from electricity sales. Downstream projects represent a large global opportunity for us, and we are excited about our business prospects. Our talented team, diversified geographic coverage and record of accomplishment put us in a prime position to grow profitably.
