Fourth Quarter & Full-Year 2013 Financial Review
Total Revenue and Shipments
For the fourth quarter of 2013, total revenue was US$125.5 million, an increase of 119.8% from the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to higher shipments from both modules and cells. Revenue for full-year 2013 was US$316.2million, an increase of 8.0% from the prior year.
Total shipments for the fourth quarter of 2013 were 235.8MW, an increase of 123.1MW or 109.2% from 112.7MW in the prior quarter primarily driven by robust demand from China in the fourth quarter of 2013. Total module shipments, including module processed under OEM arrangement of 20.9MW and 5MW module delivered to one of the Company’s UK projects, were 210.6MW for the fourth quarter of 2013. Total cell shipments, including cell processed under OEM arrangement of 19.4MW, were 25.2MW for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Total shipments in 2013 were 577.4MW. Total module shipments, including module processed under OEM arrangement of 70.4MW and 5MW module delivered to the UK project, were 548.2MW for the full year 2013. Total cell shipments, including cell processed under OEM arrangement of 19.4MW, were 29.3MW for the full year 2013.
Asia became the largest market for the Company, accounting for 67.0% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013, with China and Japan accounting for 56.3% and 7.1% of total revenue, respectively. Sales to European markets represented 31.9% of total revenue in the fourth quarter, mainly contributed by the Germany and France markets, as well as the UK market from which the Company recognized 5MW solar project sales revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013. As the Company continues to expand its global customer footprint and decrease concentration risk, Europe and Asia accounted for 47.2% and 49.7%, respectively, of total revenue in 2013, more balanced compared with 71.0% and 14.5% respectively, of total revenue in 2012.
ASP
Module ASP for the fourth quarter was US$0.59 per watt, decreased by three cent or 4.8% compared with that of the previous quarter. Module ASP in 2013 was US$0.61 per watt, compared to US$0.74 in the prior year. The lower module ASP was primarily due to our increased shipments to lower-priced regions, lower cost structure and continued imbalance of supply and demand.
Wafer and Conversion Costs
Blended wafer costs in the fourth quarter of 2013 were US$0.22 per watt, remained flat quarter over quarter. Conversion costs of cells and modules manufactured in the fourth quarter of 2013 were US$0.15 and US$0.19 per watt, respectively, compared with US$0.15 and US$0.22 per watt, respectively, in the prior quarter. The reduction of three cents or 13.6% in conversion cost of modules was mainly attributable to decreased conversion cost of module at the Company’s Turkey plants as it ramped up the production capacity and enhanced operational efficiency.
Blended wafer costs in the full year of 2013 were US$0.22 per watt, compared to US$0.27 per watt in 2012. Conversion costs of cells and modules for the full year of 2013 were US$0.15 per watt and US$0.20 per watt, respectively, compared to US$0.17 per watt and US$0.23 per watt, respectively, in 2012.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the fourth quarter was US$6.6 million, and gross margin was 5.2%, compared to gross margin of 3.0% for the third quarter of 2013. Gross profit for full year of 2013 was US$15.2 million, and gross margin was 4.8%. The improved gross profit during the fourth quarter was mainly attributable to the decrease of unit manufacturing cost. Excluding the inventory provision of US$0.4 million, non-GAAP gross profit was US$7.0 million, and non-GAAP gross margin was 5.6% in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Operating Expenses, Operating Profit/Loss and Net Income/Loss
Operating expenses slightly decreased to US$13.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, from US$14.8 million in the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to the sequential reductions in research and development expenses and selling and marketing expenses. Operating expenses that included bad debt provision of US$1.1 million in the fourth quarter, slightly decreased compared to US$1.3 million in the prior quarter. Operating expenses totaled US$55.1 million in 2013, significantly decreased from US$104.5 million in 2012, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in bad debt provision from US$47.4 million in 2012 to US$0.5 million in full year of 2013.
Loss from operations narrowed to US$7.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, and to US$39.9 million for full year 2013.
Correspondingly, net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was US$13.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and US$50.6 million for full year 2013.
Non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders wasUS$11.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, and US$48.4million for the full year 2013.

Amount due from related parties totaled US$84.0 million as of December 31, 2013, a decrease of US$15.8 million compared to US$99.8 million as of September 30, 2013. The decreased balance was mainly attributable to the Company’s full collection of the remainder of short-term interest-free non-trading advances2 as of October 30, 2013.
Amount Due to Related Parties
Amount due to related parties totaled US$11.8 million as of December 31, 2013, a decrease of US$0.7 million compared to US$12.5 million as of September 30, 2013.

2 In the second quarter of 2013, the Company provided short-term interest-free advances totaling US$44.3 million to one of its related companies, CEEG Nanjing Semi-Conductor Co. Ltd (“CEEG Semi-Conductor”). The short-term interest-free advances were provided to address liquidity pressure on CEEG Semi-Conductor and China Electric Equipment Group Co., Limited (“CEEG”), and in turn preserve China Sunergy’s credit and liquidity, as CEEG guaranteed most of the Company’s bank loans.
