SHANGHAI, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Solarfun Power Holdings Co., Ltd. ( "Solarfun" or the "Company") , a vertically integrated manufacturer of silicon ingots, wafers and photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules in China, today reported its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

SECOND QUARTER 2010 HIGHLIGHTS -- Total net revenues were RMB 1,752.7 million (US$258.5 million), an increase of 18.8% from 1Q10 and an increase of 105% from 2Q09. -- PV module shipments, including module processing services, reached 204.6 MW, an increase from 150.6 MW in 1Q10 and from 64.3 MW in 2Q09. -- Average selling price ("ASP"), excluding module processing services, declined by 6.8% to RMB 11.19 per watt (US$1.65) from RMB 12.01 per watt in 1Q10. -- Gross profit increased 35.4% quarter-over-quarter to RMB 368.8 million (US$ 54.4 million) from RMB 272.5 million in 1Q10. -- Despite the decline in ASP, gross margin increased to 21.0% from 18.5% in 1Q10, primarily due to a continued reduction in manufacturing costs. -- Despite the continued volatility in the currency market between Euro and RMB , the Company recorded a net currency gain of RMB 15.1 million (US$ 2.2 million). -- Net income attributable to shareholders on a GAAP basis was RMB 272.8 million (US$ 40.2 million), an increase of 96.4% from RMB 138.9 million in 1Q10. -- Net income attributable to shareholders on a non-GAAP basis(1) was RMB 231.7 million (US$ 34.2 million), an increase of 46.5% from RMB 158.1 million in 1Q10. -- Net income per basic ADS on a GAAP basis was RMB 4.71 (US$ 0.69), an increase of 96.2% from the previous quarter. -- Net income per basic ADS on a non-GAAP basis was RMB 4.00 (US$ 0.59), an increase of 46.5% from the previous quarter. -- Annualized ROE on a non-GAAP basis significantly improved to 35.9% in 2Q10 from 26.6% in 1Q10 and negative 38.3% in 2Q09. -- The Company generated RMB 417.5 million (US$ 61.6 million) in cash from operating activities during the quarter.

Peter Xie, President of Solarfun, commented, "We are pleased to announce another quarter of outstanding performance. For the first six months of 2010, the Company shipped a total of 355 MW of PV modules and achieved net income per basic ADS of US$1.05 on a GAAP basis and US$0.99 on a non-GAAP basis. The strong results can be attributed to continued strong end-market demand as well as consistent execution by the management team. We expect robust demand for the rest of 2010, and are raising our 2010 full year shipment guidance from 650 MW to approximately 750 MW. Based on early demand indications from our key customers for 2011, we are increasingly optimistic about the Company's future performance."

SECOND QUARTER 2010 RESULTS -- Total net revenues were RMB 1,752.7 million (US$ 258.5 million), an increase of 18.8% from 1Q10 and an increase of 105.1% from 2Q09. The increase in net revenues in 2Q10 was primarily due to significantly higher shipment volumes which reflect improved industry demand as well as growth in the Company's production capacity. -- Revenue contribution from PV module processing services as a percentage of total net revenues was 11.9% as compared to 7.8% in 1Q10. -- PV module shipments, including module processing services, reached 204.6 MW, an increase from 150.6 MW in 1Q09 and from 64.3 MW in 2Q09. -- The revenue breakdowns by shipment destination and by invoiced location in 2Q10 are as follows: (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100803/LA44785-a) (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100803/LA44785-a) (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100803/LA44785-b) (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100803/LA44785-b) -- Starting next quarter, the Company will disclose only revenue breakdown by shipment destination as the management team believes this more accurately reflects the Company's geographic diversification. -- ASP, excluding module processing services, declined by 6.8% to RMB 11.19 (US$ 1.65) per watt from RMB 12.01 per watt in 1Q10. The decline in ASP in 2Q10 was primarily due to the depreciation of the Euro against the Renminbi. -- Gross profit grew 35.4% quarter-on-quarter to RMB 368.8 million (US$ 54.4 million) from RMB 272.5 million in 1Q10. Despite the decline in ASP, gross margin increased to 21.0% from 18.5% in 1Q10, primarily due to a continued reduction in manufacturing costs. -- The blended COGS per watt, excluding module processing services, was US$ 1.31, representing a 7.7% decrease from US$ 1.42 per watt in 1Q10. The blended COGS takes into account the processing cost (silicon and non-silicon) using internally-sourced wafers, purchase cost and additional processing cost of externally-sourced wafers and cells, as well as freight costs. -- The production cost (including both silicon and non-silicon costs) using internal wafers was US$ 1.12 per watt, representing a 5.9% decrease from US$ 1.19 per watt in 1Q10. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100803/LA44785-c) (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100803/LA44785-c) (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100803/LA44785-d) (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100803/LA44785-d) -- Operating profit was RMB 269.2 million (US$ 39.7 million), representing an increase of 42.4% from RMB 189.1 million in 1Q10. The Company had an operating loss of RMB 121.9 million in 2Q09. Operating margin for 2Q10 was 15.4% which compares to 12.8% in 1Q10 and negative 14.3% in 2Q09. Operating expenses as a percentage of total net revenues stayed flat at 5.7% in 2Q10 as compared to the previous quarter. -- Interest expense of 2Q10 was RMB 40.2 million (US$ 5.9 million) and has not fluctuated significant compared to 1Q10 of RMB 40.9 million. -- Although Solarfun is not immune to currency fluctuations, especially the depreciation of the Euro against the US dollar, its active hedging program reduces the Company's exposure. For 2Q10, the Company recorded a net foreign exchange gain of RMB 15.1 million (US$ 2.2 million), representing foreign exchange losses that were more than offset by a gain from the change in fair value of foreign currency derivatives. The Company recorded a net foreign exchange gain of RMB 3.7 million in 1Q10. -- Gain from the change in fair value of the conversion feature of the Company's convertible bonds was RMB 57.8 million (US$8.5 million), as compared to a loss of RMB 2.5 million in 1Q10 and a loss of RMB 113.4 million in 2Q09. The fluctuations, from the adoption of ASC 815-40 since January 1, 2010 were primarily due to changes in the Company's share price during the quarter. This line item has fluctuated, and is expected to continue to fluctuate quarter-to-quarter. The Company has no direct control over the fluctuations. -- On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to shareholders was RMB 272.8 million (US$40.2 million), compared to net income attributable to shareholders of RMB 138.9 million in 1Q10 and net loss attributable to shareholders of RMB 319.9 million in 2Q09. Net income per basic ADS was RMB 4.71 (US$0.69) in 2Q10, compared to RMB 2.40 in 1Q10 and net loss per basic ADS of RMB 5.95 in 2Q09. -- On a non-GAAP basis, net income attributable to shareholders was RMB 231.7 million (US$34.2 million), as compared to RMB 158.1 million in 1Q10 and net loss attributable to shareholders of RMB 196.6 million in 2Q09. Net income per basic ADS, on a non-GAAP basis, was RMB 4.00 (US$0.59) in 2Q10, as compared to RMB 2.73 in 1Q10 and net loss per basic ADS of RMB 3.66 in 2Q09. -- On a GAAP basis, the Company had an annualized return on equity of 35.2% in 2Q10, as compared to 19.2% in 1Q10 and negative 48.3% in 2Q09. -- On a non-GAAP basis, the Company had an annualized return on equity of 35.9% in 2Q10, as compared to 26.6% in 1Q10 and negative 38.3% in 2Q09. FINANCIAL POSITION

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB 885.4 million (US$130.6 million) and net working capital of RMB 2,002.4 million (US$295.3 million). Total short-term bank borrowings (including the current portion of long-term bank borrowings) were RMB 706.0 million (US$104.1 million), as compared to RMB 930.6 million as of March 31, 2010. The reduction in short-term borrowings was because the Company used additional cash generated from operations to reduce short-term bank borrowings.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had total long-term debt of RMB 884.7 million (US$130.5 million), which comprised both long-term bank borrowings and convertible notes payable. The Company's long-term bank borrowings are to be repaid in installments until their maturity in 2011 and 2012. Holders of the convertible notes may require the Company to purchase the notes on January 15, 2015.

Net cash from operating activities in 2Q10 was RMB 417.5 million (US$61.6 million), compared to negative RMB 5.4 million in 1Q10 and RMB140.8 million in 2Q09. The net cash inflow from operating activities was primarily due to the increase in net income and the reductions in accounts receivables and inventories.

As of June 30, 2010, accounts receivable declined to RMB 828.9 million (US$122.2 million) from RMB 849.0 million as of March 31, 2010. Days sales outstanding stayed relatively flat at 48 days in 2Q10, as compared to 47 days in 1Q10.

As of June 30, 2010, inventories decreased to RMB 591.6 million (US$87.2 million) from RMB 720.9 million as of March 31, 2010. Days inventory outstanding improved to 43 days in 2Q10 from 57 days in 1Q10 and from 71 days in 4Q09, primarily because of continued improvements in the Company's supply chain management.

Capital expenditures were RMB 204.5 million (US$ 30.2 million) in 2Q10. In the first 6 months of 2010, the total capital expenditures were 265.4 million (US$ 39.1 million).

CAPACITY EXPANSION

The Company recently announced the next phase of its cell line expansion. It plans to add another 50 MW to cell capacity from manufacturing process improvements and debottlenecking, to reach 550MW of cell capacity by early first quarter of 2011. The Company is on track to expand its module capacity to 900 MW by August 30, 2010.

In addition, the Company recently announced that it plans to convert 160 MW of its cell capacity to high efficiency cell capacity through the introduction of selective emitter technologies. The high efficiency cell capacity is expected to realize efficiency targets exceeding 18.5% and 17.0 % for monocrystalline and multicrystalline cells, respectively.

Details on the Company's production capacities and expected production capacities as follows:

Capacity ramp-up plan Dec 31, 2010 Jun 30, 2009 Mar 31, 2010 Jun 30, 2010 (Estimated) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Ingot MW 300 300 360 360 Wire saw MW 300 300 400 400 Cell MW 360 360 400 500 Module MW 550 600 700 900 ------ --- --- --- --- --- BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The Company provides the following guidance based on current operating trends and market conditions.

For 3Q10, the Company expects: -- Total module shipments to be 210 MW to 220 MW, of which approximately 30% will be for PV module processing services. -- ASP excluding PV module processing services to increase by approximately 3% from 2Q10 on the assumption that the Euro/US dollar exchange rate stays at approximately 1.28 during the third quarter of 2011.

In view of the continued robust demand from the Company's customers for the remainder of 2010, the Company is raising its full-year 2010 shipment guidance from 650MW to approximately 750MW. Module processing services are expected to represent approximately 30% of the total shipments.
