[Foreign Language] During the third quarter, our total solar module shipments were 5,117 megawatts, total revenues were US$1.29 billion, and the gross margin was 17%.

In the fourth quarter, the company’s profit faced certain pressures due to a few factors, supply shortage of raw materials increased production cost, coupled with the impact of fluctuations of the US dollar and higher logistics and transportation costs.

With the turmoil of the global pandemic continuing to ease, PV has received wide support from most of the world's economies, and the bottleneck of raw materials is expected to gradually improve. We strongly believe that the PV industry has ushered in a golden age.

However, we will continue to be vigilant about market conditions around the world and should not overestimate the economy - economic turmoil in the next one or two years and underestimate the changes to come over the next decade. [Foreign Language] Government policies have been very favorable.

China outlined a strategic plan to hit peak emissions before 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2060, a significant step in the fight against climate change. The next announcement of the 14th Five-Year Energy Plan in March 2021 is expected to focus on non-fossil energy sources and outline new energy power generation targets and other parameters.

Furthermore, the large scale construction of energy storage required by the power grid to achieve a higher proportion of renewable energy, investment in great transformation and the subsequent introduction of supporting policies, all can be very positive expectations after President Elect Joe Biden takes office.

In January 2021 his administration is expected to promote the development of new energy beyond current expectations. In the next five years, US solar demand is expected to more than double.

In September 2020, the EU officially released the 2030 climate target plan, which has proposed to increase the greenhouse gas emissions reduction target from 40% to 60%, below 1990 levels by 2030. This will no doubt accelerate the increase in the proportion of renewable energy consumption.

In short, as the economy of solar energy become more and more permanent, solar power will play a vital role in accelerating the transformation of energy generation and consumption in major economies post-COVID-19. And the future market space is expected to expand beyond our imagination.

[Foreign Language] With the approach of grid parity, leading companies will stand to benefit the most from technological advancement, and cost reduction in the PV industry.

On the one hand, top players are well-positioned to expand the market share with competitive products driven by strong and sophisticated R&D, and to leverage the advantage of their well-known brands and distribution channels worldwide.

On the other hand, through supply chain management and proportion of simultaneous growth of the supply chain, top players are expected to achieve technical innovation and product iterations more rapidly, while helping to elevate industry standards to new highs.

[Foreign Language] The company's strategic growth has always been to invest in technology as competitive advantages and continuously improve our operations and product lines. In July 2020, the maximum solar module conversion efficiency of our N-type module reached 23.01% and set a new world record.

Testing was conducted by TÜV Rhineland, one of the world's leading Testing Service Provider. In August, our entire TOPCon cell conversion efficiency reached 24.9%, independently confirmed by the Institute of Solar Energy Research in Hamelin, which set another world record for the industry.

Concurrently, we proactively optimized our supply chain management and issued a stable supply of raw materials and auxiliary materials through long term purchase agreements, strategic cooperation and other resources.

Where supply links were more likely to experience shortages, we transformed our technology and used substitute materials to ease the volatility in the supply chain brought about by record growth. [Foreign Language] Module products are going through a period of rapid change. We believe that gradual adjustments are more beneficial.

The maturity of the supply chain issues, the safety and reliability of products, and the use of standardized application is more conducive to the healthy development of the industry. We are committed to produce the highest quality products that will continuously improve the energy density of the system and reduce system costs for our customers.

So far, our next generation Tiger Pro Series has received orders for an aggregate amount exceeds 2 gigawatt. The first batch of mass produced Tiger Pro modules were shipped in October and the maximum mass production power can reach 585 watt.

The Tiger Pro series continues to set new benchmarks for the industry in terms of high compatibility and high adaptability. [Foreign Language] At the end of 2020, we expect our in-house annual mono silicon wafer, solar cell and module production capacity to be 2011 [ph] and 30 gigawatt respectively.

At the same time in order to cope with a broad market demand and the expected rapid growth in the shipments next year, we are currently evaluating all our production lines in order to increase production capacity for each segment and issue appropriate integrated production level accordingly.

The global demand for solar energy is accelerating and the company is well-positioned to meet expectations. We believe that the company has the ability to continue to expand its global market share and further reinforce our leading position in the global PV industry.

[Foreign Language] Before turning over to Gener, I would like to quickly go over our guidance for the fourth quarter of 2020. We expect total solar module shipments to be in the range of 5.5 gigawatts to 6 gigawatts.

For the fourth quarter of 2020, total revenue for the fourth quarter is expected to be in the range of US$1.31 billion to US$1.43 billion. Gross margin for the fourth quarter is expected to be in the range of 13% to 15%. The full year 2020 shipments to be in the range of 18.5 to 19 gigawatts..

Thank you, Ms. Zhang. In the third quarter of 2020, total shipment of solar modules reached to 5,117 megawatts in line with our guidance. During the quarter, while we faced the challenges from the pandemic and the changes in the market supply and demand, we primarily adjusted our geographic mix in response to any market volatilities.

Overall, shipments to Europe increased significantly compared with the previous quarter. Shipments to the Asia Pacific region remained strong. While shipments to North America and China were consistent with the performance in the second quarter.

In terms of market demand, since the beginning of the third quarter delays in the supply of some raw material and auxiliary materials together with increased downstream demand lead to price increase, along the entire supply.

With the gradually recover in supply and strong demand brought by the installation rush in the fourth quarter we are seeing that price increases for some raw materials have been absorbed because of strong market demand. We expect the market pressure to gradually ease next year.

The Chinese PV market will no longer enjoy subsidies starting in 2021 and will enter the era of great parity on a large scale.

And there's a 2030 carbon emissions reduction target and the 2016 carbon neutrality goal, China will have to gradually replace the traditional thermal power, as a result, it is estimated that China's annual average installation capacity will reach 60 to 70 gigawatts over the next 5 years, delivering phenomenal growth to the renewable energy markets.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to intensify in the US, and the latest daily average number of confirmed diagnosis has exceeded 200,000, reaching a new peak.

While the situation continues to evolve in the US, in the long term, the Biden administration is expected to support the development of new renewable energy, including plans for the US to rejoin the Paris agreement an d to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

Other measures are also expected to promote the development of renewable energy in the pos- pandemic era in the United States. According to the forecast by the consulting firm, Wood Mackenzie, assuming ITC does not extend it and the current policy remains the same.

US PV power plants are expected to add about 100 gigawatts of installed capacity from 2020 to 2025, with an annual capacity of about 20 gigawatt added from ‘21 to ‘23. Recently, the European Commission announced the economic recovery plan to provide renewed confidence and stimulate growth for economic development in the post-pandemic era.

It is worth noting that the plan recommended accelerating the development of renewables and encouraged investment in innovative clean energy technology as important consideration for economy recovery.

It also proposed supporting this initiative initiatives with €45 billion in funds dedicated to the development of renewable energy, which further reinforce Europe's long term commitment to the renewable energy sector. The EU Council has endorsed a €1.5 billion public sector loan facility to support energy transaction and green investments.

The credit will be available to government of 27 EU member states and cannot be used for nuclear power or fossil fuel projects. This measures are expected to further stimulate the development of renewable energy in the post-epidemic era and promote the EU wide target of generating at least 32% of energy from renewables by 2030.

Economic activity in the Asia Pacific region has basically recovered and returned to normalcy and market demand remains strong. In the first three quarter of 2020 average monthly newly added rooftop installation in Australia exceeded that of last year.

If COVID-19 situation does not worsen for the rest of year, residential installation capacity may reach 3 gigawatts in Australia for 2020. We now may consider imposing tariffs on imported components in the future. But it is still in the early stage of discussion, and the impact on the demand is expected to be relatively limited.

In addition the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam [ph] stated that after more than three years of encouraging FIT rates to develop more solar power plant projects in Vietnam, it is now working on pilot program to determine the price of solar power with the aim of transition from FIT to a bidding system, which may relieve investor pressure to a certain extent.

Japan's new prime minister announced that - in his first policy address that Japan will achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In the future, Japan will actively promote research on next generation solar cells and carbon recycling technologies and is committed to reduce reliance on thermal power generation.

Overall, it is expected that Asia Pacific region will sustain healthy growth in the fourth quarter and into next year. Emerging markets have been greatly impacted by the pandemic for a relatively long time. Brazil has been severely affected by the pandemic and has yet to continue.

However, local Coronavirus transmission continues to ease in other countries such as Chile, UAE and South Africa. The number of newly diagnostic case in a single day has steadily declined, and we believe there will be increased demand as economic activity recovers.

According to the statistics from the Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association, Brazil has added about 162,000 new solar generation system over the past 12 months, an increase of more than 130% year-over-year. Saudi Arabia is pursuing an ambitious renewable energy strategy.

It plans to add nearly 60 gigawatts of clean energy installed capacity of the state grid by 2030, of which 40 gigawatts will come from PV power plants. Some African countries are also actively promoting the installation of PV power generation system to solve the problem of rising power demand in their countries.

In short, volatility and fluctuations of the supply chain in the short term and the resurgence of COVID-19 poses some immediate challenges, but in long term to competitiveness of renewables will provide a strong support for the long term development of the renewable energy market.

Among renewables, solar power has had the largest cost reduction in recent years, as LCOE and the cost of energy storage continue to decline over time, solar energy will continue to lead a tremendous opportunities in this growth sector and accelerate the transformation of the global energy system, which have been further encouraged by policy support for energy conservation, global emissions reduction and the sustainable development of renewable energy sources.

It is estimated that the global installation will exceed the 300 gigawatts in 2025. And exceed 1000 gigawatt in 2030. We are confident about the future development of PV. In terms of customer value, we have always been committed to build reliable applications that will reduce LCOE for our customers.

Since the successful launch of the new Tiger Pro Series in May 2020, we have held over 50 online webinars to convey the technology highlights of the product line to investors, EPCs, upstream and downstream suppliers.

This is one of the channels we adopted in this unusual time in order to provide a comprehensive customer service and to demonstrate the optimal LCOE and the return on investment due to the excellent compatibility and adaptability qualities of this popular products.

We maintained solid relationship with participants in the supply chain and obtain timely feedback from customers to help us make forward looking predictions and strategic decision. Our next generation of high efficiency Tiger Pro modules have been well received by our clients worldwide.

As of the end of October, we have already secured orders for a total of 2 gigawatts. Recently, the company has been awarded the highest rating for National Customer Satisfaction Enterprise credit service platform of China, which also reflects our consistent commitment to the product quality.

In future, large size product with advanced technology will most likely stand out more in the mightiest of a fierce market competition.

By leveraging the innovation of our advanced technology, extensive and forward looking market strategy and long term brand loyalty among our global customers, we will continue to adjust our PV product mix, while maintaining the premium quality of our products to meet the needs of global market demands. With that, I will turn it over to Charlie..

Thank you, Gener. In the third quarter, we reported strong operational and financial results with total shipments, total revenue and gross margins all in line with our guidance.

Although the significant increase in silicon material costs and volatility of exchange rates brought some pressures on our performance during the quarter, the company benefited from our in-house production capabilities and some cost control which allowed us to maintain financial indicators such as revenue and gross margin stay stable levels.

Let me go into more details about the quarter now. Total Revenue was US$1.29 billion, an increase of 3.8% sequentially and increase of 17.2% year-over-year. Gross margin was 17%, which remains stable quarter-over-quarter.

Income from operations was US$80.4 million, an increase of 25.6% sequentially, excluding anti-dumping and countervailing duties, to reversal benefit. Income from operations increased 28% year-over-year. EBITDA was US$144 million compared to US$100 million in the same period last year.

Non-GAAP net income was US$47 million, an increase of 7% year-over-year. This translates into non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS of US$1.06.

Taking into account the loss from the change in fair value of convertible senior notes and call option, due to the sharp increase in stock price of JinkoSolar, in the third quarter of 2020 GAAP net income was close to breakeven.

Total operating expenses in third quarter accounted for 10.8% of total revenue, a decrease both sequentially and year-over-year. Moving to the balance sheet, by the end of the third quarter, our balance of cash and cash equivalents for US$943 million compared to US$969 million.

At the end of the second quarter of 2020, AR turnover days were 61 days compared to 63 days in the third quarter of last year. Inventory turnover days were 97 days, compared to 93 days in the third quarter last year.

Total debt was US$2.5 billion, in which US$128 million was related to international short term projects, compared to US$2.3 billion at the end of second quarter. Net debt was US$1.59 billion compared to US$1.37 billion at the end of second quarter 2020.

By the end of October, we announced our principal operating subsidiary Jinko Solar Co., Ltd Jiangsu Jinko had completed equity financing of RMB3.1 billion US RMB, completing an important step towards our plan to go public in China's capital markets, this additional capital raised is helping to expand our capacity, further strengthen our leading positions in innovative R&D.

Recently, we announced our plan to sell a 20% stake in Abu Dhabi Sweihan Power Stations to Jinko Power, which will help us focus our core business and continue to sustain our long term growth in the global PV industry. This concludes our prepared remarks. And we are now happy to take your questions. Operator, please open the call..

Thank you very much. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] First we have Philip Shen from Roth Capital Partners. The floor is yours, Mr.

Philip?.

Hi, everyone. Thank you for taking my questions. The first one is on the margin outlook for Q4. I think for Q3, your cost per watt was roughly $0.203. And if we take your guidance into account for Q4, it's just the cost per watt, maybe closer to $0.20.7, $0.21.

Can you help explain how can your cost per watt be flat in Q4 when polysilicon prices have gone up so much along with glass? I think glass alone is up $0.02 per watt? And then freight is up meaningfully. So where are you? How are you able to maintain that flat cost structure in spite of the rising input costs? Thanks..

Hey, Philip, this is Charlie. And, you know, the gross margin, 13% to 15% for the fourth quarter. And we are - firstly I want to just to sum up clarification as we believe, it's – gross margin is reaching to the lowest level. I mean, Q4 is lowest level.

And if we look forward, so we expect the gross margin in the first half year, next year, we will gradually improve quarter-over-quarter. And back to glass. And it's you know, combination, in-house production cost quarter-over-quarter, that's fourth quarter versus third quarter, it did increase because of the polysilicon cost.

You know, the glasses and a lot of materials is on the outside trend. On the other side, we - the ASP, the module price, at the same time increased a little bit. And as well as we have, I think we have good mix in terms of the shipments in US and versus you know, some relatively high ASP ratings, higher margin ratings.

So which helps us to deliver a relatively, a slightly, let's say the margin, you know, decrease in the fourth quarter versus the third quarter..

Okay. Great.

So, were you saying is the pricing is helping to offset, but from a cost standpoint, when you say the in-house production cost is helping, can you specifically highlight what area is helping you drive that cost structure lower and did you specifically find you know, for example, independent the ASP, are you able to - were you able to keep costs flat? And if so, where you're getting that specifically?.

Philip, and I’d say, the in-house production cost is increased a little bit quarter-over-quarter. And - but the material cost is up dramatically, particularly for the silicon, the glasses.

But we are hoping which is offset is by you know, and our production efficiencies and we have relatively more production volume and, you know, the production, the cost is relatively lower, but the material cost is higher. Second one is the most important is ASP is relatively higher quarter-over-quarter.

And with you know, China thee ASPs has increased, because of the input costs increase, as well as we have higher mix in the US and other, you know, regions with relatively higher ASP..

Great. Thank you for the clarification, Charlie.

As we look to next year, you talked about margins improving in Q1 and Q2, I know you haven't provided official guidance, but can you share how much improvement you see and also what kind of bookings do you see for Q1 and 2? And is the pricing also higher in those quarters, relative to Q4?.

Phil, this is Gener. Let me take this booking question first. So for - I think in our last quarterly call, we established our strategy that Jinko as a tradition, we always target to achieve 50% level of the book - field before the year began. So I think that is still our strategy, we are on the right track to close that.

The marketing side, you know, on the first side, we expect, you know, the material costs will down a little bit and including the polysilicon and we are seeing the polysilicon prices decreasing, to RMB25 [ph] now, and the glasses supply side will be you know, relatively - the supplies, the volume is stable, but the total Q1 and Q2, this global demand, you know, it's relatively lower, so we expected the material cost will have the contributions.

On top of that, we are promoting the large size 182, the Tiger Pro, and the large size of the products and the production costs is lower. And we can charge the volume and we are expecting the 182 next year, as combined together next year, we'll get you know, 40%, 50%, you know, 182 in our shipments.

And this part, you know, will help gradually quarter-by-quarter and improve our gross margin as well..

Great. Yes, that larger format [ph] should be helpful. So thank you very much for the questions, guys. I'll pass it on..

Thank you..

Thank you very much. Next we have Mr. Gary Zhou from Credit Suisse. The floor is yours..

Hello, management. Thank you for taking my questions. It is Gary from CS. So basically three question from my side.

So firstly, can management share with us the latest update on your subsidiary stock market listing? And do you expect the timing of the Asia listing would have any impact on our capacity expansion decisions into the next one to two years? And the second question is on something about the solar glass.

So given the currently relatively high solar glass price, are we kind of holding back our motor [ph] production plant a little bit.

So in other words, if there's not such kind of high raw material cost, would our fourth quarter module be otherwise higher? And lastly, on the bifacial [ph] solar module, so just one small question, have we tried any ultra-wide floating glass as the backsheet eat of the solar class instead of solar glass and, if possible, can management share with us the economics comparison between two pieces of solar glass or using the backsheet as floating glass or even compared with transparent backsheet solution? Thank you..

A couple of questions and the first one is, you know, our subsidiaries, Jiangxi Jinko, we closed the equity financing, financial financing just by the end of October and we started the preparation for IPO in China immediately and the process is smooth and we will keep the market informed if we reach significant milestone.

And the second one is capacity, the funding for the capacity. And is that going to be depend, you know on the IPO process? If not, and we closed the 3.1 – RMB3.1 [ph] and we think, you know, we have sufficient funding. And for the capacity expansion next year, and we will focus on the solar cell capacity, as well as some mono wafer capacity.

And in the prepared remarks our CEO and we target to return you know, stable, slightly increasing on the integration levels and maintain returns 75%, 80% and to have good control of our you know, capabilities. And on top of that, you talk about, I think the bifacial glasses and transparent….

I think we have two more question both regarding the glasses, right. I think, firstly, the beauty of our Jinko strategy is we have the certain flexibilities based on the market turbulence, that's why we have the geographic mix, and together with the product, different product portfolio mix.

So, to conclude our conclusion, we are keeping the flexibility to adjust our capacities and also the factory output based on the market turbulence, we are keeping such kind of flexibility. And the second question about the glass bifacial side.

So, we have foreseen the, you know, the bottleneck of the glass supply, I think back a year ago, or even 1.5 years ago, that's why only promote the bifacial product, we do not offer only double glass, but also we offered transparent backsheet solution as well.

So, both solutions are well accepted across industry and from our customer base, our customer feedback is neutrally well accepted.

Meanwhile, for the ultra wide floating glass you just mentioned, I think the whole industry is trying to impose or trying to introduce such a glass to ease the short term supply from the solid glass manufacturing capabilities right now. And Jinko has done some progress on that way together with our peers.

I think we are on that way, but its still, you know, the total volume available versus the demand that we are facing right now is still short of supply in terms of the glass. Hope that answer your question, Gary..

Yes. Thank you very much. That's very clear. Thank you, management. And I’ll pass on..

Thank you..

Thank you very much. Next we have Mr. Tony Fei from BOCI. The floor is yours..

Hi, management. Thanks for the questions. I have three from my side. The first one is regarding your operating margin. So in the third quarter, we see actually your operating margin has increased Q-on-Q despite your gross margin declined a little bit.

So can you explain the reason behind it because we see you have quite a bit of savings in your sales and marketing expenses, despite the fact that shipping costs actually increased quite a bit in recent month. And if possible can you provide your guidance on the shipping costs in Q4? And second question is regarding your integration plan.

So I think for 2021 your priority will be increasing your sales capacity in-house, but there has been quite a lot of debate regarding the economics of PERC and HJT on the cell technology route.

So have you made a decision on how much of a new cell capacity will be PERC and how much from that will be in HJT? So the third question regarding exchange rate.

So because of the RMB appreciation recently, do you see any impact on your order intakes, especially in overseas markets and if possible, do you have a plan on how much of your China order will increase in your sales mix in 2021? And do you expect to have increase in hedging costs for the currency side in next year? Thank you..

And, you know, for first question is, I think, you know, the operating expenses, right, and, we expect relatively stable, operating expenses against revenues, roughly 11% quarter-over-quarter, including the fourth quarter.

And the question is the cell capacity, capacity, and we have not finalized the decision expecting we will expand basically the PERC capacity, but have the flexibility to upgrade to, you know, the entire TOPCon technology.

And back to the TOPCon technology and we had 800 megawatts and – tracing back to one year ago, and the efficiency is reaching to very good level. And we think that technology now is in relatively maturity stage.

And so we - when we build the new capacities, of course, it's a big size and the big size PERC capacity, and we have the flexibility to upgrade to the TOPCon very quickly. Exchange rate is – it did have pressure, and we did had roughly 50%, the RMB against US dollars.

And for the pricing, and we don't believe the 5% to 7%, you know, the exchange rates will have an impact on the demand side, and from international markets. And the customer are able to absorb the potential impact.

So, we don't believe we have significant adjustment though for the mix, and China versus international markets because of the exchange rates..

Great. Thanks for the color. I'll pass on..

Thank you..

Thank you very much. Next, we have Mr. Brian Lee from Goldman Sachs. Mr. Brian Lee, you may ask your question..

Yeah. Hi, guys. Thanks for taking the questions.

Charlie, could I go back to the previous question on OpEx? So I didn't capture, but why was SG&A so much lower this quarter? And what's the expectation for Q4 in terms of either absolute dollars or percentage of?.

In the third quarter, firstly, I think you know, the total, let's say the total revenue is increasing, right. And I think the total revenue there is some contribution.

Second one is the - we have lowered marketing expenses, activities, and as well as you know, because of the relatively lower ASP, and when we calculate the warranty costs, the warranty costs relatively will be a little bit lower.

So it's a combination of some one-off operating expenses, savings and revenue increase, as well as the decrease of warranty costs..

Okay.

And expectation for Q4?.

Q4 is roughly - because Q4 has roughly be the same, I think 11%..

11% of sales for just the SG&A line, is that the guidance?.

Yes. I mean, the operating expenses accounted for the total revenue is 11%, roughly, in the fourth quarter..

Okay. So OpEx in total, including R&D, not just SG&A? Okay, fair enough. I think you mentioned earlier, at one of the questions, I think it was maybe Phil at the beginning of the call. The ASP for 3Q, I think, if we just do the calculation, it was about $0.03, $0.04 per watt. The guidance for 4Q is down about sequentially.

So maybe I misheard you, but it sounded like you were expecting 4Q, or is that just part of the mix.

And the overall, I think blended, I think is still going to be down in 4Q?.

I mean, the ASP when you calculating is a little bit down, right?.

Yeah, correct, by 3%, I think..

Yes. Its not correct and I know the calculation. We use the total revenue with the P&L – total shipments. And for the fourth - the third quarter, we have other revenues, some low efficiency solar cell and modules roughly. So the module revenue account for 95% and 5% is our revenue. So, when you do the ASP calculation in Q3, it will be relatively lower.

Second one is when you do Q4, the guidance revenue, we don't consider our revenues, we just use the module revenues as a reference..

Okay. I think I captured that. I'm, you know, netting out the volume that's not related to modules and still getting to $0.24 for 3Q. But I could take that offline.

But maybe can you just answer the question? What percentage increase in pricing are you expecting across the module mix for Q4 versus Q3?.

You mean the percentage ASP quarter-over-quarter, right?.

Yes..

Yes. It's slightly increase, you know, the Q4 versus Q3. But I just talked about, you know, because we'll have higher mix in US and in China, the ASP has increased in the fourth quarter. So it's a combination which contributed to the increase of ASP in the fourth quarter..

Okay. Fair enough. Maybe two more if I could squeeze them in.

Just one housekeeping one first, the third quarter, did you have the CapEx, depreciation and free cash flow numbers for the quarter?.

Okay, I can give you the – let me check, I can give you the first quarter, third quarter, the nine month numbers, you know, the total CapEx for the nine month is roughly US$ 350 million. And operating cash flow is roughly negative US$200 million, which is because of the inventory now with a significant increase in inventory levels.

And so depreciation each quarter is roughly let’s say US$40 million..

Okay, great. And then last one, I'll pass it on after this, is the Abu Dhabi sale, the 20% stake. I know that was outside of the quarter, but can you provide impact that you're expecting from that in 4Q.

I thought you had been carrying it on the balance sheet of $50 million of value, and I think you sold it for $20 million? So first question is, is that the correct math? And if so, why are you booked at your last year? And then last, I'm not sure if this is related, but why did the non-controlling interest [ph] on the balance sheet go down this quarter so much?.

Abu Dhabi project, we are currently in the long-term investment because it's investment on equity, 20%. And we signed you know, the sale purchase agreement with Jinko Power and the valuation is based on the independent third party valuation firms.

And - but the closing are expected to be taking a longer time, maybe six months because it's subject to a lot of regulatory and including the government approvals. And in terms of economics, and we don't expect significant impact and after the closing, but it’s a very small, you know, depending on the closing date..

Okay. But it will be booked at a loss. And is there any impact this quarter from….

No, not but because the closing is taking a longer time. So before the closing the economics of the Abu Dhabi project, we will enjoy the economics before the closing. So that is why I'm saying, you know, after the closing and depending on the timing and but, for sure, it's not loss situations, and it's a profit situation..

Okay.

What was the carrying value in the long term investment?.

I need to check, but it's -- on the balance sheet, we have separate items carrying the investment, and we can get back to you after the call..

Yeah, you reported $25.5 million in the quarter, but I suppose some of that is not Abu Dhabi?.

Yeah. I need to check….

Yeah, I can take that off line.

This last one, the non-controlling interest, it was down $100 million or close $200 million quarter-on-quarter? Any read into that?.

You mean the rationale, right? The non-controlling interest on the balance sheet?.

Yeah, on the balance sheet, just wondering what's prompted the big move there?.

So, you know, it's because we - by the end of October we did the equity financing for the Jiangxi Jinko, the major subsidiaries. So before that, we - in some of our subsidiaries, we have arrangement with the energy fund being supported by the government.

And because we have equity financing, we launched $3.1 billion and some more investors, they think it's good. We pick up some minority interest to the subsidiary levels.

So organized the arrangement with government's funded energy funds and some of the funds we plan to redeem in our near future, which is, you know, it's a purely equity investment from the government equity funds..

Okay. Thanks a lot, guys. I’ll pass it on..

Thank you..

Thank you, Mr. Brian. Yes, in absence of time, we will take the last question from the participants. Next we have Mr. William Graben from UBS. The floor is yours. Mr. Williams, please ask your question..

Great, thank you. I just have one quick, quick one here.

Just wondering if you could clarify if there is any AD CVD true-ups that are impacting the fourth quarter guidance?.

It could be up a little bit, but it's not significant impact. So when we give the margins - when we give the margin guidance, we did not consider the positive impact..

Okay. Very good. Thank you..

Thank you..

Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, with that we have come to the end of the conference call. Thank you for your participation and have a pleasant evening ahead. You may now disconnect from this call. Thank you..
