GCL New Energy’s (the "Company") revenues in 1H2019 beat but earnings were below expectation, mainly due to the sharp rise] in1 financer a M costst h g andi administrativeR _ e l b a T [ expenses during the period. Gross margin in 1H2019 was down 1.2 ppts YoY to 67.5%. At the end of the reporting period, total installed solar capacity and grid connected solar capacity of the Company reached 7,182 MW and 7,038 MW, respectively. 9 Sales volume of solar electricity in 1H2019 reached 4,577 mn kWh, up YoY by 22%. Average solar tariff in 1H2019 was RMB 201 0.75/kWh, down by approximately 3% YoY from RMB 0.77/kWh for the same period of 2018. The decrease in average tariff was due to on-grid solar tariff cuts for new projects connected to the grid in 2H2018, as well as the competitive bidding tariff on August certain new projects. The Company disposed of approximately 1.6GW of solar assets over the last 10-month period in 4 16 separate transactions, in which 3 of them have already been completed with 1 pending for completion in 2H2019 (i.e. the deal with Shanghai Rongyao New Energy). Upon completion of the transaction, total installed solar capacity of GNE will be reduced by 977 MW. According to the Company, the 4 transactions will, in aggregate, reduce approximately RMB9.23 bn in existing borrowings and will bring in approximately RMB2.95 bn cash to further repay debt. We believe the transactions are in the interests of the Company as well as its shareholder as they are part of the deleveraging strategy of the Company. Taken away more than RMB10 bn in debt would mean finance cost savings of no less than RMB600 mn per year moving forward. To improve profitability, we expect GNE to continue to refinance its debt to lower its borrowing costs and to dispose of its solar assets (either majority or minority stake) to further deleverage itself should the ongoing talks with China Huaneng Group fail to happen (i.e. the potential takeover by Huaneng). ] 2 r a M t h g i R _ e l b a T [ Table-1: 1H2019 Operating Results and YoY Comparison (RMB mn) 1H2019 1H2018 YoY ∆ Comments Sales volume of the solar electricity in 1H2019 reached 4,577 mn kWh, Revenues 3,173 2,704 +17.3% up YoY by 22% COGS (1,032) (847) +21.8% Gross profit 2,141 1,857 +15.3% Gross margin was down by 1.2 ppt YoY Admin expense (374) (257) +45.8% A result of the rapid expansion Other income 150 126 +18.7% EBIT (Operating income) 1,917 1,727 +11.0% Non-operating income / (loss) 140 (163) -185.5% (00451 HK) Share from affiliate & JV 1 8 -91.7% Finance cost (1,419) (1,062) +33.5% Both the scale of debt and interest rate went up in 1H2019 Profit before tax 638 509 +25.4% Tax expense (67) (21) +225.5% 协鑫新能源 Minority interest (161) (143) +12.3% Net income 410 345 +18.8% Basic EPS (RMB) 0.0215 0.0181 +18.8% Margins (YoY comparison) YoY ppt ∆ GCL New Energy Gross margin 67.5% 68.7% -1.2 ppt Average solar tariff went down in 1H2019 EBIT margin 60.4% 63.9% -3.5 ppt PBT margin 20.1% 18.8% +1.3 ppt Net margin 12.9% 12.8% +0.1 ppt Source: the Company, Guotai Junan International. The potential takeover by China Huaneng Group is highly likely to take place in 2H2019. GCL Poly Energy, the parent of the Company, and GCL New Energy (GNE) jointly announced in early June 2019 that a wholly owned subsidiary of GCL Poly had entered into a cooperation intent agreement with China Huaneng Group, one of the largest energy conglomerates in China, in relation to the possible sale of 9.73 billion ordinary shares of GNE, representing approximately 51.0% of the entire issued share capital of GNE. The cooperation intent agreement is non-legally binding and no terms of possible transaction have been agreed among the parties at the date of the joint announcement. The completion of the possible transaction will lead to change in the control of GNE, and GCL Poly’s holding in GNE will decrease from 62.3% to 11.3%. GCL Poly may exit all its shareholdings in GNE if a good deal were to be reached, in our opinion. Over the last 10 months, GNE sold approximately 1.6 GW of solar assets in 4 separate transactions.

Coal is the primary source of electricity generation in China. The total installed capacity of renewable energy (including hydropower) in China is more than 728 GW. At the end of 2018, China’s power sector continued to be dominated by large state-owned companies. Source: China Energy Portal The country’s grid is owned and operated primarily by the state-owned State Grid Corporation of China (which supplies power to 88 percent of the country), while China Southern Grid, also state-owned, accounts for most of the remainder. A handful of large state-owned power generation companies are responsible for generating most electricity, including the so-called “big five” – China Datang Corporation, China Guodian Corporation, China Huadian Group, China Huaneng Group, and China Power Investment Corporation – that account for 47 percent of power capacity. In 2016, the 13th Five-Year Plan targeted 2,000 GW of capacity to be installed by The world’s biggest energy 2020 – a nearly 20 percent increase from consumer is aiming for renewables the current capacity – and a 15 percent to account for at least 35 percent increase in the share of non-fossil fuel of electricity consumption by 2030, energy.
