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 time. 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.”

Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Total Revenues

Total revenues for full year 2025 were RMB65.50 billion (US$9.37 billion), representing a decrease of 29.0% from RMB92.26 billion for full year 2024. The decrease in total revenues was mainly attributable to the decrease in average selling price of solar modules.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit for full year 2025 was RMB1.41 billion (US$201.7 million), a decrease of 86.0% from RMB10.06 billion for full year 2024. The year-over-year decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in average selling price of solar modules in 2025.

Gross margin was 2.2% for full year 2025, compared with 10.9% for full year 2024. The year-over-year decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in average selling price of solar modules.

Loss from Operations and Operating Margin

Loss from operations for full year 2025 was RMB8.91 billion (US$1.27 billion), compared with loss from operations of RMB3.34 billion for full year 2024. Operating loss margin for full year 2025 was 13.6%, compared with operating loss margin of 3.6% for full year 2024.

Total operating expenses for full year 2025 were RMB10.32 billion (US$1.48 billion), a decrease of 23.0% from RMB13.40 billion for full year 2024. As a percentage of total revenues, operating expenses accounted for 15.8% for full year 2025, compared with 14.5% for full year 2024. The decrease in total operating expenses was primarily due to (i) a reduction in shipping cost, driven by lower solar module shipment volumes and a decline in average freight rate in 2025, and (ii) lower employee compensation costs in 2025.

Interest Expenses and Interest Income

Interest expenses were RMB1.36 billion (US$194.5 million), and interest income was RMB504.1 million (US$72.1 million) for the full year 2025.

Net interest expenses for full year 2025 was RMB856.0 million (US$122.4 million), an increase of 17.5% from RMB728.4 million for full year 2024. The increase was mainly due to an increase in interest-bearing debts in 2025.

Subsidy Income

Subsidy income for full year 2025 was RMB1.15 billion (US$164.0 million), compared with RMB2.45 billion for full year 2024. The year-over-year decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in the cash receipt of incentives 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 RMB89.6 million (US$12.8 million) for full year 2025, which was primarily due to the depreciation of the US dollar and euro against RMB. The Company recorded a net exchange gain (including change in fair value of foreign exchange derivatives) of RMB601.0 million for full year 2024. The year-over-year change was mainly driven by the exchange rate fluctuations of the US dollar and euro against RMB in 2025.

Change in Fair Value of Long-term Investment

The Company holds certain equity interests in several solar technology companies in the photovoltaic industry, which are recorded as long-term investment and available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as gains or losses. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had RMB864.4 million (US$123.6 million) in available-for-sale securities and long-term investment (excluding the investments accounted for under the equity method and held-to-maturity debt securities), compared with RMB1.05 billion as of December 31, 2024. The Company recognized a gain from change in fair value of long-term investment of RMB33.2 million (US$4.7 million) for full year 2025, compared to a gain of RMB163.5 million for full year 2024.

Other Loss/Income, net

Net other loss for full year 2025 was RMB512.9 million (US$73.3 million), compared with net other income of RMB796.3 million for full year 2024. The decrease was primarily due to income generated from the disposal of a wholly-owned subsidiary in 2024.

Equity in Loss of Affiliated Companies

The Company indirectly holds equity interests in several affiliated companies engaged in solar business, which are accounted for using the equity method. The Company recorded equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB147.9 million (US$21.1 million) in 2025, compared with equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB177.0 million in 2024. The fluctuations in equity in loss of affiliated companies primarily arose from the changes in net losses incurred by the affiliated companies.

Income Tax Benefit/Expense, Net

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of RMB2.22 billion (US$317.6 million) in 2025, compared with an income tax expense of RMB69.4 million in 2024.

Net Loss/Income and Losses/ Earnings per Share

HTX Q1 2026 Report: User Base Surges to 59M as Record Volumes Drive Unprecedented Wealth Effects

PANAMA CITY, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In Q1 2026, the crypto market entered a pivotal repricing phase against a backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty and structural industry reshuffling. As user behavior becomes increasingly rational, the focus of exchange competition has shifted from a mere race for traffic acquisition to a comprehensive contest defined by product excellence, asset quality, and regulatory compliance.


As a crypto infrastructure leader, HTX continues to position trading as its core engine, underpinned by a rock-solid foundation of security and compliance. By leveraging product innovation and globalization as key growth drivers, the platform has achieved synergistic progress across all business lines. During the quarter, HTX co-released the 2026 Digital Asset Trends White Paper with key media outlets, further reinforcing its thought leadership. By the end of March 2026, HTX’s total registered users officially surpassed 59 million, while quarterly brand reach hit a record 53.55 million. From high-impact spot listings to the surge of TradFi futures contracts, HTX is delivering a stellar performance report that sets the stage for a new crypto era starting in 2026.


Spot and OTC: Capturing 2026’s “Wealth Effect” While Advancing Global Expansion

In the volatile market environment of this first quarter, HTX fortified its security moat while leveraging sharp market insights and rapid execution to consistently capture alpha returns for its users. The quarter was marked by a steady stream of breakout assets, driving spot trading volume past the 3-billion-dollar level.

During Q1, HTX listed 39 new assets, with initial listings accounting for 53.85%. Among them, breakout assets such as ELSA, 老子, and 我踏马来 performed exceptionally well, posting peak gains of 620%, 572.73%, and 411.81%, respectively. Other assets such as BTW, BNKR, and RIVER also recorded strong gains, with BTW debuting on HTX and RIVER achieving significant post-listing momentum. Furthermore, by leveraging premier events like the Blockchain Forum 2026, HTX’s Spot Fee Rebate Program successfully engaged high-net-worth individuals, driving cumulative trading volume beyond 30 billion USDT.


HTX’s OTC business is expanding its global footprint. With significant breakthroughs in compliant operations in Australia and expansion into the PKR market, HTX is extending its regulatory presence across high-growth regions. Moving forward, HTX will cultivate deeper ties with premium OTC clients, driving user loyalty and enhancing the overall experience. Simultaneously, the platform is accelerating its global outreach, proactively broadening partnership channels and extending seamless fiat on/off-ramp capabilities across a wider range of ecosystem scenarios.

On the security front, HTX has released its latest Proof of Reserves (PoR) update for April, marking 42 consecutive months of Merkle tree-based disclosures, with major asset reserves consistently exceeding 100%. Notably, BTC and ETH holdings recorded net increases of 142 and 538 coins, respectively, while TRX reserves grew by over 91.78 million tokens. The platform also upgraded its stablecoin asset display by introducing a unified USDs aggregation model, consolidating USDT, USDC, and other dollar-backed stablecoins to enhance transparency and clarity for users.

Futures and Earn: A $300 Billion Vision Backed by TradFi Expansion and Stable Yields

In 2026, HTX’s futures business is undergoing a structural transformation, through a “full-category, one-stop” strategy that bridges traditional finance and crypto markets.

In Q1, HTX significantly expanded its futures trading pairs in the TradFi zone, introducing over 22 new assets across gold, silver, crude oil, U.S. equities, and major indices. Currently, the total number of tradable pairs on the platform has surpassed 276, driving an increase in futures market share and a steadily expanding active trader base. Simultaneously, HTX’s SmartEarn delivered a peak APY of 7.21%, with an average yield of 2.68% throughout the quarter. Characterized by zero entry barriers, no lock-up requirements, and daily rewards, SmartEarn offers uninterrupted futures trading flexibility. Its performance consistently outpaces industry benchmarks.


With the rollout of Copy Trading 4.0 and the Smart Copy feature, the trading volume increased by 50% in Q1, while the number of copy trading users doubled and liquidation volumes dropped by 61%. These improvements not only enhanced the user experience but also demonstrated HTX’s ability to reduce trading risk and protect followers’ interests through technological innovation.

HTX Earn also introduced its flagship VIP Flexible product in Q1, tailored for Prime 5+ users, offering up to 9% APY on USDT with a per-user cap of 100,000 USDT. The Flexible Earn products for stablecoins, such as USDT, USDC, USDD, U, and USD1 offer industry-leading yields of up to 15% APY, with tiered platform subsidies. The platform also launched the Flexible Earn products and campaigns for USDe and USAT, drawing over $110 million in subscriptions. Meanwhile, six Earn campaigns for new cryptos launched during the quarter attracted over $10 million in subscriptions.


Product Evolution and Industry Influence: Deep Integration of AI and Web3 Ecosystems

In 2026, HTX is fully embracing AI to empower trading, evolving into an intelligent financial platform.

HTX launched a beta version of its AI assistant, enabling advanced market analysis and personalized Earn recommendations. The Community posting section was upgraded with interactive features such as “topics” and “bullish/bearish sentiment indicators,” improving user decision-making efficiency. The platform also introduced HTX Private membership benefits and a desktop client, alongside upgrades to margin position modes and Earn order pages. From asset-liability comparisons to one-click functions such as closing positions, transfers, and repayments, the trading experience has reached industry-leading standards. HTX also launched an on-chain yield product for USDe, allowing users to mint and redeem assets directly within the CEX environment, significantly lowering the barrier to Web3 participation.

Ecosystem development continues to expand through HTX DAO, with the launch of on-chain staking, the listing of $HTX on compliant European exchanges, and the introduction of community-driven initiatives such as the “People’s Experience Officer” program to enhance community participation and governance activity. The next quarterly token burn for $HTX is scheduled for mid-April.

Meanwhile, HTX Ventures continues to provide industry insights. In January, the arm released its 2025 Year in Review report, systematically outlining the critical pathways toward mainstream crypto adoption. By maintaining a high-profile presence at premier global summits like Consensus HK and ETHDenver, and providing high-quality decision-making resources through its weekly market recaps, HTX Ventures reinforces the platform’s thought leadership across the industry.

Looking Ahead to Q2: AI and Compliance as the Next Growth Drivers

HTX’s strong Q1 performance reflects the execution of its four core strategies: global compliance, ecosystem expansion, wealth creation, and security assurance.

For Q2, the integration of third-party custody solutions such as Ceffu and the advancement of asset transfer upgrades will further enhance capital efficiency and liquidity on HTX, solidifying its position as an unwavering builder of crypto financial infrastructure. In an increasingly mature crypto market, competition is no longer defined by short-term volatility, but by the sustained accumulation and execution of long-term capabilities. HTX is steadily advancing along this path.

About HTX

Founded in 2013, HTX (formerly Huobi) has evolved from a virtual asset exchange into a comprehensive ecosystem of blockchain businesses that span digital asset trading, financial derivatives, research, investments, incubation, and other businesses.

As a world-leading gateway to Web3, HTX harbors global capabilities that enable it to provide users with safe and reliable services.

Firstsource Launches Kairos — The Operating System Powering Intelligence That Operates

Kairos closes the gap between AI’s capability overhang and operational reality

NEW YORK and MUMBAI, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Firstsource Solutions Limited (NSE: FSL) (BSE: 532809), an RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group company, today announced the launch of Kairos — the operating system powering Intelligence That Operates. Kairos is an embedded intelligence engine that designs, builds, and operates agentic workflows across the full arc of enterprise transformation — from ambition to accountable outcome — in a single, continuous motion.

The Problem Kairos Solves

The spread between enterprises that are winning with AI and those still waiting for it to work has reached 540 basis points in operational performance — and it is widening. The dividing line is not access to technology. It is whether an organization has fundamentally re-engineered how work gets done or is still layering AI onto legacy structures and hoping for different results. C-suite leaders increasingly recognize that closing that gap demands operating model transformation — not more tools, not more pilots.

“Intelligence That Operates was the commitment. Kairos is the execution. Organizations today don’t face a shortage of AI ambition — they face a surplus of it. And yet the gap between what AI can do and what enterprises actually get in production keeps widening. The barrier has never been the technology. It is the operating model,” said Ritesh Idnani, CEO & Managing Director of Firstsource.

“Kairos was built to close that gap — not as a layer added on top of existing operations but integrated within them — running agentic workflows from end to end, accountable for what comes out the other side. And we ran it on ourselves before we brought it to market, because if it couldn’t perform inside Firstsource operations, it had no right to perform inside anyone else’s. The question every enterprise leader should be asking right now is not which AI vendor to pilot next. It is: who will own the outcome when the intelligence doesn’t perform? Kairos is how Firstsource answers that question in production — not on a whiteboard,” Ritesh added.  

Firstsource’s clients have already been benefiting from the Kairos operating model in real-world, production environments. Across healthcare and financial services, these engagements are delivering measurable impact:

  • In healthcare revenue cycle management: 66% productivity gain and 80% automation of denials triage for one of the largest US health systems.
  • In financial services: 25% cost savings and 83% faster customer onboarding from KYC/AML process reimagination for leading UK Fintech.

Firstsource underwrites outcomes not because of any single lever — AI, process redesign, or domain expertise — but because Kairos brings all three together as one operating model.

How Kairos Works

Kairos operates through a model that is fundamentally different from how AI is typically sold into enterprises. Rather than presenting a roadmap and stepping back, Firstsource embeds a multidisciplinary team — Strategy Experts, Process Champions, Forward Deployed Engineers, and Technology Builders — directly inside client operations. Every engagement begins not with a tool selection exercise, but with an assessment of the architecture and operating model in which AI can actually thrive. From there, the same team that designs the solution builds the intelligence layer and manages it in production, with commercial terms tied to measurable outcomes. No handoffs. No accountability gaps. One partner, accountable end to end.

The intelligence Kairos brings to each engagement is not generic. It is drawn from proprietary vertical-native AI platforms built specifically for Healthcare, Banking and Financial Services, Telecommunications, Retail, and Utilities — each developed from domain data and operational experience of 25 years, not adapted from horizontal tooling. 

Kairos also draws on an orchestrated ecosystem of more than 50 partners — hyperscalers, vertical specialists, and enterprise platforms — integrated through the Firstsource operating model rather than assembled as point solutions.

About Firstsource

Firstsource Solutions Limited, an RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group company (NSE: FSL) (BSE: 532809), is a global intelligence partner to enterprises across healthcare, banking and financial services, communications, media, technology, retail, and utilities. Its inch-wide, mile-deep practitioners work collaboratively to reimagine business process management.

With operations across the US, UK, India, Philippines, Mexico, Romania, Trinidad & Tobago, South Africa, and Australia, Firstsource combines over twenty-five years of domain expertise with an agent-first delivery model to design, build, and operate intelligent enterprise operations. Through its Intelligence That Operates promise — powered by Kairos, the operating system that makes it real — the company unifies consulting, implementation, and operations into a single full-stack engagement and underwrites outcomes, not effort, turning deep domain intelligence into a compounding operational advantage for the world’s most regulated industries.
