Total revenues were RMB7.48billion (US$1.05billion),an increase of 8.2% from the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 11.8% from the third quarter of 2018.

Gross margin was 21.3%,compared with 16.5% in the second quarter of 2019,and 14.9% in the third quarter of 2018. Excluding the Countervailing Duty ("CVD") and Anti-dumping Duty ("ADD") reversal benefit,gross margin was 18.5% in the third quarter of 2019.

Income from operations was RMB638.8million (US$89.4million),compared with RMB260.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 and RMB188.0 million in the third quarter of 2018.

Net income attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders was RMB363.6 million (US$50.9 million) in the third quarter of 2019,compared with RMB125.4 million in the second quarter of 2019 and RMB189.1 million in the third quarter of 2018.

Diluted earnings per American depositary share ("ADS") were RMB4.664(US$0.652) in the third quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders in the third quarter of 2019 was RMB301.2 million (US$42.1 million),compared with RMB202.9 million in the second quarter of 2019 and RMB206.3 million in the third quarter of 2018.

Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS wereRMB6.832 (US$0.956)and RMB6.128 (US$0.856),respectively,in the third quarter of 2019,compared with both RMB4.872 in the second quarter of 2019 and both RMB5.280 in the third quarter of 2018.

Mr. Kangping Chen,JinkoSolar's Chief Executive Officer commented,"I'm pleased to report strong operational and financial results for the third quarter which I believe marks a turning point for our business,as we begin to increasingly benefit from our technology transformation,industry-leading cost structure and expanding mono capacity. Module shipments during the quarter were 3,326 megawatts,an increase of 12.6% year-over-year and a slight decrease sequentially. Our integrated production costs continued to decrease,which,combined with our high-quality products and global distribution footprint,allowed us to initiate a reset of our gross margin,expanding it to 21.3% during the quarter,a significant 6 percentage point increase year-over-year. We are very optimistic about our growth prospects next quarter and throughout 2020 where we expect to see our overall profitability strengthen and margins expand."

"Our technological transformation began in 2016 when we started producing mono wafers,and have since then accumulated three years of operational and technical expertise which we applied in our mono production facility in Leshan,Sichuan Province. This technological transformation is now largely complete,with Phase I of the production facility having begun operations and ramped up to full 5GW capacity during the second quarter of 2019. I believe this reflects our strategic foresight and strong execution capabilities. We are now at a strategic turning point in our corporate history with mono-based high-efficiency products accounting for nearly 75% of the total solar module shipments during the quarter,which is expected to increase to 99% in 2020."

"The late announcement of the government subsidy policy for PV projects in China earlier this year delayed a large number of projects which we believe will restart during the fourth quarter and the first quarter of 2020. This delay is expected to drive strong domestic demand over the next six months,especially since China's national renewable energy information management center recently announced that it is accelerating the formulation of subsidy policies for PV projects in 2020. With the cost of solar energy now falling below that of conventional energy sources in many markets across the globe and more aggressive clean energy targets being set by governments,we are also very confident and optimistic that global demand will significantly increase next year. We currently estimate that global installations next year will be approximately 20% higher than this year."

"We continue to invest in product development to meet growing market demand for high-quality and efficient products. We expanded our production capacity of N-type cells to 800MW during the quarter,and are currently ramping up to full production which is expected to begin next quarter. Our N-type cells reached a record high efficiency of 24.58% in June 2019. We also recently unveiled a new Tiger module which,with its 20.78% efficiency and peak power output of 460W,offers our clients significantly improved efficiency,lower production costs and a better internal rate of return."

"With domestic demand rebounding strongly and overseas demand driven by aggressive new clean energy targets,we expect the fourth quarter and full year 2020 to generate strong growth in shipments and strengthen our overall profitability and margin profile. With the demand growing rapidly both domestically and overseas for our mono products,we have strategically decided to convey our confidence in next year's strong growth with total solar module shipments expected to be in the range of 18.0 GW to 20.0 GW for the full year 2020,an approximately 35% year-over-year increase. As one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world,we will continue to drive growth in this new era of grid parity and deliver long-term sustainable value to our shareholders."

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,and non-GAAP earnings per ADS,which are adjusted from the comparable GAAP results to exclude certain expenses or incremental ordinary shares relating to share-based compensationand,convertible senior notes:

Non-GAAP net income is adjusted to exclude the expenses relating to issuance cost of convertible senior notes,change in fair value of convertible senior notes and call option,interest expenses of convertible senior notes,exchange gain on the convertible senior notes,and stock-based compensation; 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 issuance cost of convertible senior notes,and stock-based compensation.

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.
