“During 2007 ReneSola grew into a leading producer of solar wafers and our business expanded through upstream integration within the solar value chain into polysilicon manufacturing,” said Mr. Xianshou Li, ReneSola’s Chief Executive Officer. “As one of the fastest growing solar companies in the world, ReneSola achieved substantial top line growth without sacrificing profitability in spite of a significant increase in raw material costs, as demand for wafers, as well as average wafer selling prices, continued to increase. We also successfully executed our growth plan by expanding our raw material procurement and customer network and increasing our total production capacity from 80 MW as of the end of 2006, to 378 MW as of the end of 2007.”
“During the year we also took strategic steps to integrate upstream into polysilicon manufacturing. Our joint venture in Henan Province, China commenced polysilicon trial production in mid-January 2008, and the development of our state-of-the-art green field polysilicon project in Sichuan Province, China is on track. In line with ReneSola’s strong commitment to maintaining environmentally responsible business practices, the joint venture in Henan Province has met the environmental protection standards set by the government and is equipped to recycle silicon tetrachloride. The polysilicon project in Sichuan Province will utilize proven, high-end equipment with fully closed loop systems to recycle and convert waste into products that can be reused in the production process.”
“In 2008, we will maintain our focus on efficient cost production and innovation as we look to build on ReneSola’s strong brand name. New equipment using our proprietary technologies and state-of-the-art facilities will include some of the most advanced furnaces and wire saws in the market. We are confident that our expansion efforts and upstream transition into polysilicon manufacturing, paired with a strong feedstock supply pipeline and a customer base of leading industry players, put ReneSola in a unique position to capitalize on the opportunities presented by a rapidly growing solar industry in 2008 and beyond.”

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2007
Net revenues
Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 were US$96.0 million, an increase of 32.4% sequentially and 197.6% year-over-year. For the full year 2007, ReneSola reported net revenues of US$249.0 million representing a 195.1% increase year-over-year from US$84.4 million in 2006. The rise in fourth quarter and full year 2007 revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in output from the expanded production capacity and increasing wafer ASPs.
Gross profit
Fourth quarter gross profit was US$19.6 million, a 24.4% increase sequentially and 121.0% year-over-year. The gross margin for the fourth quarter was 20.4% compared to 21.7% in the third quarter of 2007. Full year 2007 gross profit was US$53.5 million, a 116.4% increase year-over-year from US$24.7 million in 2006. The gross margin for full year 2007 was 21.5% compared to 29.3% for the full year 2006. The change in gross margin was primarily attributable to increases in average feedstock costs of 13.7% sequentially and 42.1% year-over-year. Increasing feedstock costs were mitigated by a reduction in silicon consumption through a combination of in-house closed-loop scrap recycling, productivity gains from improvements in wafer slicing, a reduction in non-raw material related production costs and increases in wafer ASPs.
Operating profit
Operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2007 was US$15.0 million, an increase of 11.7% sequentially and 86.8% year-over-year. Operating margin was 15.6% in the fourth quarter compared to 18.5% in the third quarter of 2007. Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2007 were US$4.6 million, up from US$2.3 million in the third quarter of 2007. Of the total operating expenses in the fourth quarter US$0.7 million was attributable to share-based compensation expenses.
Operating profit for the full year 2007 was US$43.4 million, a 95.3% increase year-over-year from US$22.2 million in 2006. Operating margin was 17.4% for the full year 2007 compared to 26.4% in the previous year due to the lower gross margin attributable to the significant increase in raw material costs. Total operating expenses increased to US$10.l million for the full year 2007 from US$2.5 million for the full year 2006. This was primarily due to increased general and administrative expenses and R&D costs reflecting higher salary and benefit payments as a result of the need for a greater number of employees to meet our fast growing business, as well as an increase in professional fees and compliance expenses.
Profit before tax
Profit before tax in the fourth quarter was US$12.4 million, a 3.6% increase sequentially and 49.3% increase year-over-year. Finance costs increased by 13.9% sequentially, reflecting increased bank borrowings and interest rates. Finance costs as a percentage of net revenue decreased from 2.0% in the third quarter of 2007 to 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2007. The fourth quarter foreign exchange loss increased to US$1.2 million from US$0.6 million in the third quarter as a result of appreciation of RMB against the US dollar during the quarter.
Table of Contents
Profit before tax for the full year 2007 was US$36.8 million, an increase of 63.0% year-over-year from US$22.6 million in 2006. Finance costs in 2007 increased to US$4.5 million from US$0.3 million in 2006, reflecting increased bank borrowings and the convertible bonds issued in March 2007. The full year 2007 foreign exchange loss was US$4.0 million from a gain of US$0.4 million in the previous year due to appreciation of RMB against the US dollar.
Taxation
ReneSola’s subsidiary, Zhejiang Yuhui Solar Energy Source Co. Ltd, (“Zhejiang Yuhui”) recognized a tax benefit of US$5.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, significantly up from US$0.8 million in the third quarter of 2007. For the full year 2007, Zhejiang Yuhui recognized a tax benefit of US$6.2 million, up from US$2.7 million in 2006, due to an increase in domestic equipment purchases. In accordance with PRC tax regulations, Zhejiang Yuhui received 40% of the amount arising from the purchase of domestic made equipment as an investment tax credit. The tax credit can be carried forward for 7 years to offset future corporate income taxes.
Net profit
Fourth quarter 2007 net profit increased 36.8% sequentially and 87.8% year-over-year to US$17.5 million. Full year 2007 net profit increased 69.7% year-over-year to US$42.9 million due to an increase in production output and improved productivity.
2008 Guidance
In the first quarter of 2008 we expect our gross margin to remain stable and expected production output to be 62 MW, as compared to 51.3 MW in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 15.3 MW in the first quarter of 2007. We maintain our annualized ingot production capacity target of 645 MW by the end of 2008. We anticipate production output of a minimum of 300 MW in 2008 with minimum annual net revenues of US$480 million. This represents year-over-year revenue growth of at least 93%.
