SHANGRAO, China, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), a global leader in clean energy technology, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Business Highlights
Fourth Quarter 2025 Operational and Financial Highlights
Full Year 2025 Operational and Financial Highlights
Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Global module shipments reached 86 GW in 2025, ranking first globally for the seventh consecutive year. The global photovoltaic industry continued to experience volatility due to structural imbalances and a shifting trade environment, which negatively impacted financials across the industrial chain. Facing persistently low module prices, the elimination of obsolete production capacity, and a still-evolving product mix, we incurred a net loss for the full year. In the fourth quarter, our gross margin decreased sequentially and our net loss expanded, impacted by factors including rising costs of raw materials such as polysilicon and silver, as well as foreign exchange rate fluctuations. However, our energy storage business maintained its rapid growth trajectory, with shipments growing significantly year-over-year, marking an important step in our ongoing transformation into an integrated energy solutions provider. We expect our ESS shipments to more than double in 2026 compared to 2025, as we penetrate into more high-value markets. The Chinese government has continued to strengthen its recent policies supporting the high-quality development of the industry. These policies are guiding the industry away from pure competition on scale and price toward a focus on genuine quality and value. In response, leading companies have been actively support government initiatives to return module prices to reasonable levels. In the first quarter of 2026, this dynamic, combined with the pass-through of rising commodity prices such as silver, as well as the impact of export tax rebates on demand, drove a significant sequential rebound in module prices. As the competitive landscape normalizes and supply—demand dynamics gradually improve, we expect module prices to remain relatively stable going forward, with high efficiency and differentiated products continuing to command a premium. Simultaneously, volatility in global energy markets has highlighted the critical need for energy security, reinforcing the long-term value of reliable renewable energy. As solar power generation enters a market-driven phase, industry competition is transitioning to a model centered on technological innovation, product competitiveness, and the ability to deliver integrated solar plus storage solutions—which we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on. We continue to drive technological breakthroughs and lead industry innovation, highlighting the quality and value we offer. As of the end of the fourth quarter, we became the first module manufacturer in the world to deliver a total of over 390 GW of solar modules, with cumulative shipments of our Tiger Neo series surpassing 220 GW, making it the best-selling module series in history. As of the end of 2025, the maximum laboratory conversion efficiency of our N-type TOPCon cells reached 27.79%, while our N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell achieved a new conversion efficiency record of 34.76%. Our development of silver-coated copper technology is progressing as planned, with large-scale production expected to gradually ramp up in 2026. We also continue to drive product upgrades, with shipments of high-efficiency products that exceed 640 W during the quarter increasing sequentially to approximately 3 GW. As we scale up production of our Tiger Neo 3.0 series this year, the differentiated value proposition of our high-efficiency products will allow us to command higher premiums. Further supporting this is our vertically integrated production model which continues to improve production efficiency and cost competitiveness. As the global energy transition advances and the demand for grid flexibility increases, the role of energy storage within renewable energy systems continues to strengthen. Looking forward to the medium to long term, as the construction of new power systems advances and new load demand grows from data centers, application scenarios for solar and storage systems will continue to broaden. To address growing customer demand, we continued to optimize our global manufacturing and supply chain footprint. Our 2 GW N-type module facility in the U.S. maintained high utilization rates as we further strengthened local manufacturing and service capabilities there. Looking forward, we will continue to consolidate our technological leadership, deepen our global footprint, accelerate the development of our integrated solar + storage solutions, and consistently improve our capabilities to deliver comprehensive value through our solutions. This will steadily strengthen our long-term competitiveness and profitability as the industry landscape reshapes. With this in mind, we expect annual integrated production capacity to reach approximately 100 GW by the end of 2026, including 14 GW from overseas facilities. We expect module shipments to be between 13 GW and 14 GW for the first quarter of 2026, and between 75 GW and 85 GW for the full year 2026." Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results Total Revenues Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB17.51 billion (US$2.50 billion), representing an increase of 8.3% from RMB16.16 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and a decrease of 15.2% from RMB20.65 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential increase was primarily due to the increase in the shipment volume of solar modules, while the year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the average selling price of solar modules. Gross Profit and Gross Margin Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB55.1 million (US$7.9 million), compared with RMB1.18 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and RMB789.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Gross margin was 0.3% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with 7.3% in the third quarter of 2025 and 3.8% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential decrease was primarily due to a higher unit cost of products sold, while the year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the average selling price of solar modules. Loss from Operations and Operating Margin Loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB3.26 billion (US$465.7 million), compared with loss from operations of RMB1.40 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and loss from operations of RMB1.94 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential and year-over-year increases were primarily attributable to the decrease in our gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2025. Operating loss margin was 18.6% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with operating loss margin of 8.7% in the third quarter of 2025 and operating loss margin of 9.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The sequential and year-over-year increases were primarily due to an increase in the impairment of long-lived assets in the fourth quarter of 2025. Total operating expenses accounted for 18.9% of total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 16.0% in the third quarter of 2025 and 13.2% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The sequential increase was primarily due to an increase of interest-bearing debt in the fourth quarter of 2025, while the year-over-year decrease was mainly due to an increase of interest income during the fourth quarter of 2025. Subsidy Income Subsidy income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB240.4 million (US$34.4 million), compared with RMB358.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 and RMB900.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential and year-over-year decreases were primarily attributable to the decreases in cash receipt of incentives related to the Company's business operations. Exchange Loss/Gain and Change in Fair Value of Foreign Exchange Derivatives The Company recorded a net exchange loss (including change in fair value of foreign exchange derivatives) of RMB303.8 million (US$43.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a net exchange gain of RMB0.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 and a net exchange gain of RMB408.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the US dollar and euro against RMB in the fourth quarter of 2025.
