美国：First Solar公司宣布2010年第二季度财务业绩

First Solar今天宣布了 2010年第二季度的财务业绩，数据统计到6月26日。

季度净销售额为五亿八千七百九十万美元，与2009年的第二季度相比增长12％，由于产量增加和系统的收入，部分抵消了利率下降和欧元汇率下降所带来的价格波动。

第二季度到2010年的净销售额比2010年第一季度增长了19.9万，主要是由于整套承包系统销售。第二季度每股净收入所得每股1.84美元，低于2009年第二季度的2.11美元，低于2010年第一季度的2.00美元。
 
年跌幅主要由于较低价格模块的平均销售价格和较高的经营开销，经营开销的费用部分被组件生产的扩大和每瓦特的低组件成本所抵消。季度跌幅主要由于较高的经营费用影响。

光伏组件的生产成本降低至0.76/watt，与上一季度比，下跌0.05美元和去年同期相比下降13％。

对于2010年，First Solar预计净销售额为25亿到26亿美元，反映了我们的业务系统模块生产能力到满足欧洲客户对模块强劲需求的重新分配。

First Solar today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 26, 2010.

Quarterly net sales were $587.9 million, up 12% from $525.9 million in the second quarter of 2009, due to increased production volumes and systems revenue, partially offset by a decline in pricing and lower euro exchange rates.

Second quarter 2010 net sales increased $19.9 million from the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to increased turnkey system sales. Second quarter net income per fully diluted share was $1.84, down from $2.11 in the second quarter of 2009 and down from $2.00 in the first quarter of 2010.

Year over year, the declines were primarily driven by lower module average selling prices, and higher operating expenses that were partially offset by increased module production and lower module cost per watt. Quarter over quarter, the declines were primarily driven by higher operating expenses.
PV module manufacturing cost was reduced to $0.76/watt, down $0.05 from the prior quarter and 13% year over year.

Annual throughput per line was up 6% quarter over quarter to 59.0 MW. This increases announced or operating capacity from 2.1 to 2.2 GW by 2012.

For 2010, First Solar forecasts net sales of $2.5 to $2.6 billion, reflecting reallocation of module capacity from our systems business to meet stronger module demand by our European customers.

Total capital spending is projected to be $575 to $625 million. The company expects to generate $575 to $625 million of operating cash flow.
