Trina Solar Limited Announces Unaudited Consolidated Earnings Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2013; Provides Earnings Guidance for the Third Quarter of 2013; Revises Operating Guidance for the Year 2013
During the third quarter of 2013, the company expects to ship between 650 MW to 680 MW of PV modules. The company believes its overall gross margin for the third quarter, taking into account wafer and cell quantities outsourced from third party suppliers to meet demand in excess of its internal capacity and other needs will be in the low double digits in percentage terms. Such guidance is based on the exchange rate between the Euro and U.S. dollar as of August 20, 2013.
For the full year 2013, the company revises its previous PV module shipment guidance of between 2.0 GW and 2.1 GW to 2.3 GW and 2.4 GW.
