Financial Performance - In the first half of 2025, Longi Green Energy reported revenue of 32.813 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 14.83% [2]. - The company recorded a net loss attributable to shareholders of 2.569 billion yuan, which is a reduction in loss by 2.661 billion yuan compared to the previous year [2]. - The reduction in loss was primarily due to improved operational efficiency, leading to significant decreases in sales and management expenses, as well as a substantial reduction in asset impairment losses [2]. Product Performance - The company experienced steady growth in the shipment of its main products, driven by a "rush installation" trend in the domestic market, with silicon wafer shipments reaching 52.08 GW, a year-on-year increase of 17%, and module shipments of 39.57 GW, a year-on-year increase of 26% [2]. - The share of BC products in total shipments has exceeded 20% [2]. - The HPBC 2.0 component product was gradually introduced to the market, with sales volume around 4 GW and a significant quarter-on-quarter increase of over 100% in the second quarter [2]. Cost Management - The company faces challenges in reducing costs for silicon products, which are relatively mature, but expects to maintain a non-silicon cost reduction rate of over 10% annually [2]. - Longi Green Energy believes that its Tai Rui silicon products have a technological advantage and, combined with ongoing cost reductions, will be able to achieve profitability in this segment at an appropriate time [2]. Technological Development - Progress in perovskite tandem technology was highlighted, with increased reliability indicators enhancing commercialization opportunities, although challenges remain regarding efficiency and stability [3]. - The company is adapting to changes in U.S. trade policies, particularly the "Inflation Reduction Act," which may impact its market presence and supply chain in the U.S. [3]. Market Outlook - The global photovoltaic market demand is expected to be uncertain in 2026, with potential fluctuations, and significant growth may face considerable pressure [4]. - Demand in regions with electricity shortages is increasing rapidly compared to traditional markets like China, the U.S., and Europe [4]. Industry Dynamics - The path for capacity reduction in the photovoltaic industry remains unclear, with a focus on maintaining market supply-demand balance rather than excessive competition [4]. - Longi Green Energy aims to enhance technology, product development, operational efficiency, and cost reduction, aligning with central government directives to promote industry progress through quality and technological standards [4].
