“We delivered excellent value to our shareholders for the full year 2010, achieving a record return on equity of 34.4%,” said Mr. Xianshou Li, ReneSola’s chief executive officer, “Capitalizing on robust market demand, we expanded our capacities and increased our shipments throughout the year to reach record revenues of over US$1.2 billion. We continued to execute on our cost-reduction strategy in the fourth quarter, lowering our non-silicon wafer processing cost to US$0.24/W. Our polysilicon plant also began to contribute to profitability as we continued to ramp up polysilicon production and reduce production cost to US$45/kg in February against a macro environment of rising polysilicon spot prices.”

Mr. Li continued, “We intend to further reduce our wafer processing cost in 2011 and increase the current polysilicon production to 3,500 MT through de-bottlenecking while reducing cost to US$35/kg by the end of 2011. In the beginning of 2011, as part of our technology initiatives, we have unveiled a new multicrystalline wafer, the Virtus wafer, which achieves a higher cell conversion efficiency rate than the industry standard. As we continue to focus on cost reductions, expand our capacities and seek technological improvements, we expect to maintain our position as a leading cost-competitive solar manufacturer.”

Julia Xu, ReneSola’s chief financial officer, commented, “Our strategic execution in 2010 generated strong operating cash flows and prudent capital expenditures that have significantly improved our balance sheet. Our net debt-to-equity ratio has been reduced to 33.8% in 2010 from 104.9% in 2009, positioning us well as we look to capture market share through capacity expansions. In addition to record revenues of US$1.2 billion and record shipments of 1.2 GW, we achieved impressive gross and operating margins of 28.9% and 20.4%, respectively, for the full year 2010. As a single segment player with a focus on wafer production, we capitalized on strong market demand and reduced in-house manufacturing cost to deliver a strong performance in 2010.”

Ms. Xu continued, “In 2011, we expect to face increased market competition due to additional solar capacities that had been added. Accordingly, we have secured over 20 long-term contracts in 2010, representing 1.3 GW of expected wafer sales in 2011, while our in-house polysilicon production will satisfy approximately 30% of our internal polysilicon demand with a full-year average cost per kilogram between US$40 and US$45.”

Business Highlights

Wafer Business

ReneSola’s wafer business achieved over 30% gross profit margin for a third consecutive quarter in Q4 2010, supported by growing demand for the Company’s wafers and substantial cost reductions by the Company. In Q4 2010, ReneSola reduced its non-silicon wafer processing cost to US$0.24/W and managed its polysilicon raw material cost to US$55/kg to US$60/kg, well below the average polysilicon spot price for the quarter. The Company’s prudent control over raw material procurement coupled with in-house polysilicon production capabilities have led to steady polysilicon input prices that have provided protection against rising polysilicon spot prices. The Company will continue its cost reduction efforts through advancements in technology and manufacturing.
 
As announced earlier this year, the Company has developed a new multicrystalline wafer, the Virtus Wafer. The Virtus Wafer, which achieves an average cell conversion efficiency rate of 17.5%, more than 1% higher than the industry standard. The Company expects to commence pilot production of the wafer this year.

The Company has over 20 long-term wafer contracts lasting for periods of one to five years and totaling 1.3 GW for 2011, which represents all of the Company’s expected wafer shipments for 2011.

Module Business

The Company continues to expand its downstream module business. In Q4 2010, the Company delivered record module shipments of 126.8 MW with an ASP excluding processing services of US$1.85/W, driven primarily by strong market demand. The Company remains confident in the potential of its downstream business, seeking both branded and non-branded opportunities.

Polysilicon Update

The Company’s Sichuan polysilicon plant began to contribute to profitability in the fourth quarter, supporting wafer demand through increased production and improving margins through reduced production cost.  In Q4 2010, the Company produced approximately 610 metric tons (“MT”) of polysilicon, an increase of 126.8% from approximately 269 MT in Q3 2010. The Company’s polysilicon production cost was between approximately US$55/kg to US$60/kg during Q4 2010. Production cost has been further reduced to US$52/kg with 201 MT of production in January 2011 and US$45/kg with 246 MT of production in February 2011.

The Company is on target to produce 700 MT to 800 MT with an average production cost of approximately US$45/kg in Q1 2011. As the Company moves towards its goal to produce 3,500 MT and reduce production cost to US$35/kg by the end of 2011, it believes it will be significantly shielded from polysilicon procurement risk The Company plans to build an additional 5,000 MT of polysilicon production capacity, bringing total capacity to 8,500 MW, in order to meet the growing demand of polysilicon requirement as the Company expands its wafer capacities to 1.9 GW in 2011.

Strong Operating Cash Flows and Cash Position

The Company generated strong operating cash inflow of US$116.1 million in Q4 2010, bringing total operating cash inflow to US$403.2 million for the full year 2010. Net cash and cash equivalents plus restricted cash was US$324.3 million at the end of Q4 2010, compared to US$286.6 million in Q3 2010, while total debt was reduced from US$542.2 million in Q3 2010 to US$522.3 million in Q4 2010.

Capital expenditure spending was US$56.3 million for Q4 2010 and US$140.9 million for the full year 2010, resulting in free cash flow of US$262.3 million for the full year 2010. Short-term borrowings increased from US$353.6 million in Q3 2010 to US$400.8 million in Q4 2010 primarily due to US$93.8 million of long-term borrowings maturing at the end of 2011. Short-term borrowings consist of US$117.9 million in trade finance, US$189.1 million in short term revolving short-term facilities and US$93.8 million as the short-term portion of the long-term debt.

2011 Capacity Expansion Plans and Related CAPEX

The Company expects to spend US$350 million in 2011 to expand wafer production capacity from the current 1.3 GW to 1.9 GW while increasing module production capacity from the current 400 MW to 600 MW and expanding polysilicon production from the current 3,000 MT to 8,500 MT, approximately 500 MT of which the Company does not expect to incur additional capital expenditure, as it will be achieved through de-bottlenecking of existing facilities.

AIM Cancellation

The Company cancelled its admission to trading on the Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”) of the London Stock Exchange on November 30, 2010.

Company Appoints New President of JC Solar and New VP of Internal Control and Audit
