JinkoSolar's Subsidiary, Jinko Solar Co., Ltd., Announces Certain Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results for Full Year 2024
SHANGRAO, China, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, announced that its majority-owned principal operating subsidiary, JinkoSolar Co., Ltd. ("Jiangxi Jinko"), has published certain preliminary unaudited financial results under PRC GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2024.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, (i) the preliminary unaudited revenues of Jiangxi Jinko were RMB92.62 billion, decreasing by 21.96% year-on-year, (ii) the preliminary unaudited net income attributable to the shareholders of Jiangxi Jinko was RMB90.54 million, decreasing by 98.78% year-on-year, and (iii) the preliminary unaudited net loss attributable to the shareholders of Jiangxi Jinko, excluding extraordinary gains and losses, was RMB1,011.98 million, decreasing by 114.66% year-on-year. These decreases were primarily attributable to a decline in the profitability of Jiangxi Jinko's main business due to reduced selling prices of its photovoltaic products.
In 2024, demand for global photovoltaic installations and the scale of the industry continued to grow. However, intensified supply-demand mismatches across the industry resulted in downward pressure on the prices of end products, posing significant challenges to profitability across the industrial chain. During 2024, Jiangxi Jinko demonstrated stronger operational resilience when compared to its peers, resulting from its leading technological advantages, continuous optimization of capacity structure, and robust overseas market channels. Jiangxi Jinko maintains a leading position in module shipments and has consistently launched initiatives to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. It has also upgraded its globalization strategy and enhanced its digital management capabilities. However, Jiangxi Jinko experienced a substantial decline in its financial performance in 2024, due to prolonged pricing pressure across the industrial chain and short-term factors such as the elimination of obsolete production capacity and a fire accident.
The preliminary unaudited financial results for Jiangxi Jinko for full year 2024 included in this press release (the "Jiangxi Jinko Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results") differ from JinkoSolar's consolidated financial results (the "Consolidated Financials"), due to (i) the consolidation scope of the Jiangxi Jinko Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results differing from that of the Consolidated Financials as the former are prepared solely for Jiangxi Jinko, whereas the Consolidated Financials also include financial statements from JinkoSolar and its other subsidiaries, and (ii) differences in accounting standards and principles used to prepare the Jiangxi Jinko Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results and the Consolidated Financials. Specifically, the Jiangxi Jinko Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results are prepared in accordance with PRC GAAP, whereas the Consolidated Financials are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, investors in JinkoSolar should exercise caution when reviewing the Jiangxi Jinko Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results included in this press release and are advised not to base their investment decisions solely on such preliminary unaudited financial results.
Jiangxi Jinko Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results included in this press release are unaudited and are subject to change upon the completion of the audit process for full year 2024. Jiangxi Jinko Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results should not be viewed as a substitute for the full financial statements of Jiangxi Jinko prepared in accordance with PRC GAAP.
JinkoSolar currently owns approximately 58.59% equity interest in Jiangxi Jinko.

Latest Economy Observer report from Dun & Bradstreet reveals India's steady rise as inflation eases and financial markets strengthen
MUMBAI, India, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dun & Bradstreet, a global leader in business decisioning data and analytics, has released its Economy Observer report for June 2025. Economy Observer is a monthly report sharing in-depth analysis of key macroeconomic developments in India and provides forecasts for key economic indicators, and insight into the expected direction of the Indian economy. Key economic forecast: Real Economy: India's GDP in the final quarter of FY25 expanded by an impressive 7.4% from the provisional estimate of 6.5%. Looking ahead, D&B forecasts a moderation in India's Industrial Production Index (IIP) to 1.8% in May from 2.7% in April— reflecting a combination of cyclical and sector-specific weaknesses. Domestic demand is robust, and international ties are improving. Industrial growth faces short-term headwinds. These include base effects, inventory corrections (destocking), and supply disruptions caused by the early monsoon season. Urban demand is expected to pick up due to tax exemptions taking effect from April, while an early monsoon should boost the kharif season, supporting rural consumption—especially durables and e-commerce. Price Scenario: India's inflation trajectory continues to improve, reinforcing price stability. Dun & Bradstreet forecasts CPI inflation to follow its current downward trajectory to 3.0% in May from 3.2% in April, driven primarily by sustained disinflation in food prices. Food and beverages inflation has cooled down to its lowest in over a year, led by sharp corrections in vegetables and pulses. While unseasonal weather caused intermittent volatility, proactive release of buffer stocks by the Food Corporation of India helped contain cereal inflation and dampen broader food price pressures. Dun & Bradstreet forecasts WPI inflation to fall to 0.7% in May, from 0.9% in April, reflecting weak input cost pressures, subdued global commodity prices, and a supportive base effect. Notably, the recent surge in global copper prices has yet to significantly impact wholesale price indices but may influence industrial cost structures in the coming months. Money & Finance: India's financial markets in May 2025 exhibit growing stability, supported by easing inflation, improved liquidity, and a stronger fiscal position. Dun & Bradstreet projects the 10-year G-Sec yield to ease to 6.4% and the 91-day T-Bill to 5.9%, reflecting better borrowing conditions. The RBI's ₹40,000 crore OMO purchase and a record ₹2.7 lakh crore dividend transfer to the government have bolstered liquidity and reduced bond supply pressures. Bank credit growth has moderated to 10.0%, indicating recalibrated demand and cautious lending amid tighter digital lending oversight. The RBI's decision to raise the Contingent Risk Buffer to 7.5% signals growing confidence in financial system resilience. Structural reforms, including the launch of '. and ' domains, enhance cybersecurity in digital finance, while formalization trends are curbing currency circulation. External Sector: In May 2025, the Indian rupee appreciated to ₹85.3/USD, Dun & Bradstreet forecasts Rupee to stabilize around ₹85.4 in June. The currency's strength was supported by reduced capital outflows, RBI's calibrated liquidity support and rate adjustments, which reinforced monetary stability, as well as a weakening of the dollar. A narrower trade deficit due to lower non-essential imports and sustained FII inflows improved the balance of payments. A steepening yield curve and notable declines in 5- and 10-year yields underscored strong demand for Indian debt. Going forward, the rupee is well positioned to defend its gains, backed by robust fundamentals and investor confidence. Arun Singh, Global Chief Economist, Dun & Bradstreet, said, "India's short-term economic outlook remains strong as GDP in the final quarter of FY25 expanded by an impressive 7.4% —a symbolic milestone that reinforces investor confidence. A pick-up in urban consumption—spurred by pre-festive spending, tax reliefs, and a favorable base—is cushioning overall growth. Meanwhile, an early and widespread monsoon is expected to lift rural demand, particularly in agri-linked sectors. Headline inflation remains manageable, aided by easing food prices and supply-side interventions. Financial markets continue to show momentum, with strong equity performance, stable bond yields, and robust foreign portfolio inflows. The rupee has appreciated mildly, reflecting improved current account dynamics and positive sentiment. In the short run, policy support and macro stability are expected to anchor growth amid global volatility."
