Mr. Baofang Jin, chairman and CEO of JA Solar, commented, "Our results in Q4 confirm the visibility we had coming into the quarter. Demand in the China market was as strong as expected, as developers and utilities rushed to meet aggressive government-directed goals for the year. We started the quarter with all of our capacity booked, and demonstrated excellent manufacturing execution to fill orders, resulting in a shipment growth of 43% year-over-year and 21% sequentially. We executed at the margin level too, with product and geographic mix drive sequentially higher gross margin. Filling capacity as we grow enabled us to show steady bottom line improvement. We grew non-GAAP earnings per ADS by 34% sequentially and 85% year over year.
"These strong results capped a year of achievement for JA, in which we solidified our position as a leader within the top tier of solar equipment producers. We expect our revenue growth rate of 57% to be among the highest in the industry. Our strategic decision to shift our product mix to more profitable modules and better geographies paid off, with gross profit more than doubling as our gross margin expanded by 500 basis points. We continued to invest heavily in R&D, increasing this expense by 58%, but held other operating expenses under control, resulting in solid operating and net margins. Our intention in 2015 is to sustain this track record of rapid growth and high profitability.
"With profitability restored and our intended mix shift to modules complete, our focus now turns to important initiatives that will drive the next leg of growth. In particular, we are enthusiastic about expanding sales into new, underpenetrated geographies such as North America, South America, and India. We expect to sustain our technology leadership with record new efficiencies in our Recium and Percium cells. And we intend to accelerate our downstream project development segment by more than doubling our planned installations this year.
"We are optimistic and confident about the future for JA Solar. We have established our industry leadership in many ways, whether it be the talent and hard work of our employees, or the strength of our customer relationships. We expect our leadership position to drive outstanding results in the year ahead, creating success for our customers, shareholders, and employees."

Net revenue was RMB 3.6 billion ($576.4 million), an increase of 65.3% y/y and 18.4% sequentially. Growth was driven by exceptional strength in China, and also benefited from solid sequential and year over year growth in Europe and North America. Revenue growth exceeded shipment growth as our mix shifted to over 90% modules, which command a higher price point and better margins than cells.
Gross profit of RMB 553.9 million ($89.3 million) increased 65.4% y/y and 21.9% sequentially. Gross margin was 15.5%, which compares to 15.5% in the year-ago quarter, and 15.0% in the third quarter of 2014. The sequential gross margin increase was driven by the continued shift in mix to modules.
Total operating expenses of RMB 331.5 million ($53.4 million) were 9.3% of revenue. This compares to operating expenses of 12.8% of revenue in the year-ago quarter, and 8.8% of revenue in the third quarter of 2014. The sequential increase in operating expense was primarily due to a provision against a prepayment of RMB 63.3 million ($10.2 million) to one of our suppliers.
Operating profit was RMB 222.4 million ($35.8 million), compared to RMB 58.9 million ($9.5 million) in the year-ago quarter, and RMB 189.6 million ($30.6 million) in the third quarter of 2014. Operating margin was 6.2%, compared with 2.7% in the prior year period and 6.3% in the previous quarter.
Interest expense was RMB 61.5 million ($9.9 million), compared to RMB 50.7 million ($8.2 million) in the year-ago quarter, and RMB 56.7 million ($9.1 million) in the third quarter of 2014.
The change in fair value of warrant derivatives was positive RMB 48.7 million ($7.8 million), compared with positive RMB 75.3 million ($12.1 million) in the third quarter of 2014, and positive RMB 87.3 million ($14.1 million) in the year-ago quarter. The warrants were issued on August 16, 2013 in conjunction with the Company's $96 million registered direct offering. The positive change in fair value, which was a non-cash gain, was mainly due to the decrease in the Company's stock price during the quarter.
Earnings per diluted ADS were RMB 2.55 ($0.41), compared to earnings per diluted ADS of RMB 1.92 ($0.31) in the year-ago quarter, and earnings per diluted ADS of RMB 2.55 ($0.41) in the third quarter of 2014.
Operating cash flow was RMB 158.5 million ($25.5 million).
Fiscal Year 2014 Results
Fiscal year 2014 shipments were 3.1 GW, an increase of 47.6% from 2.1 GW in fiscal year 2013.

Net revenue in fiscal year 2014 was RMB 11.3 billion ($1.8 billion), an increase of 57.3% from RMB 7.2 billion ($1.2 billion) in fiscal year 2013.
Total gross profit in fiscal year 2014 was RMB 1.8 billion ($283.1 million), or 15.6% of net revenue, compared with RMB 762.3 million ($122.9 million), or 10.6% of net revenue, in fiscal year 2013.
Operating profit in fiscal year 2014 was RMB 662.5 million ($106.8 million), compared with operating loss of RMB 91.3 million ($14.7 million) in fiscal year 2013.

In fiscal year 2014, the Company generated positive operating cash flow of RMB 526.2 million ($84.8 million), or RMB 10.84 ($1.75) per diluted ADS. Cash flow results also reflect the impact of the reclassification of RMB 437.6 million ($70.5 million) from operating cash outflow to investing cash outflow in Q4, due to the Company's decision to retain and operate certain projects that were originally intended to be sold.

Subsequent Events
