Mr. Chuanwei Zhang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ming Yang, commented "Driven by the tariff policy, wind energy operators rushed to install projects within the year and this resulted in a 66.4% year-over-year growth in terms of grid-connected power capacity addition, according to National Energy Administration (the "NEA"). However, during the year, the wind farm operators faced severe wind curtailment issues, especially those whose projects are located in the northern part of China."

"During China's 13(th) Five-Year-Plan period (2016-2020), we believe that there will be an opportunity for Ming Yang to rise to the next level by innovating on its business model and providing full life-cycle wind energy solutions to our customers. Recently, a number of new supportive policies have been rolled out, which we believe will lead to an improvement in curtailment and subsidy in the future. Currently, we are striving to develop technologies that can drive electricity generation while lowering per kWh costs, and we are confident we will be able to capture the growth opportunities."

Fourth Quarter 2015 Operating Data and Unaudited Financial Results

Revenue

Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2015 was RMB2,160.3 million (US$333.5 million), compared to RMB1,996.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.The increase was mainly attributable to the approximately 5.0% and 3.8% increase in average 1.5MW WTG and 2.0MW WTG selling price on a per KW basis, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with the corresponding period of 2014.

WTGs for which revenue was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2015 amounted to an equivalent wind power project output of 626.5MW, or 159 units of 1.5MW WTGs and 194 units of 2.0MW WTGs. In the fourth quarter of 2014, revenue was recognized for WTGs with a power output of 638MW, or 280 units of 1.5MW WTGs and 109 units of 2.0MW WTGs.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was RMB342.4 million (US$52.9 million), compared to RMB271.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2015 was 15.8%, compared to 13.6% in the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase in gross margin was mainly attributable to the increase in gross profit for WTG sales, which was a combined effect of (1) an approximately 5.0% and 3.8% increase in average 1.5MW WTG and 2.0MW WTG selling price per KW, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with the corresponding period of 2014, and (2) the synergy in reduction in cost of electrical components as a result of the acquisition of China Smart Electric Group Limited (RENergy) in May 2015.

On an adjusted basis, should warranty provisions be excluded from cost of sales, the Company's adjusted gross margin would be 19.4% for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to 16.6% for the corresponding period of 2014.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses were RMB121.2 million (US$18.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to RMB79.2 million for the corresponding period in 2014, representing an increase of 53.0% which was mainly due to the increase of RMB32.6 million (US$5.0 Million) in transportation cost because (1) more WTGs and blades were delivered in the fourth quarter of 2015, and (2) longer transportation distance was required for some projects. Besides, there is an increase in share-based compensation expense by RMB5.8 million (US$0.9 million) compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, mainly as a result of certain treasury stocks being awarded to certain management personnel in December 2015.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses were RMB151.0 million (US$23.3 million) for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to RMB99.0 million for the corresponding period in 2014, representing an increase of 52.5%. The increase in administrative expenses was mainly due to the combined effect of (1) provision for doubtful trade and other receivables of RMB43.5 million (US$6.7 million) being made in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to RMB31.6 million provision in the corresponding period of 2014, and (2) an increase in share-based compensation expense by RMB19.5 million (US$3.0 million) compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 as a result of certain treasury stocks being awarded to certain management personnel in December 2015.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were RMB20.6 million (US$3.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to RMB23.2 million for the corresponding period in 2014.

Net Finance Income

Finance income was RMB23.6 million (US$3.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to RMB48.0 million for the corresponding period in 2014. The decrease in finance income was mainly attributable to (1) the decrease in interest income from bank deposits and entrusted loans; and (2) we did not recognize the finance income of RMB12.1 million in respect of certain wind farms of our EPC joint venture in the fourth quarter of 2015 as a result of wind curtailment.

Finance expenses were RMB23.8 million (US$3.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to RMB38.4 million for the corresponding period in 2014. The decrease in finance expenses was mainly due to the repayment of RMB1 billion of the Company's medium-term notes that matured on January 12, 2015, which offset the Company's increase in interest expense on discounted bills.

Profit Before Income Tax

Profit before income tax was RMB95.6 million (US$14.8 million) for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to RMB97.5 million for the corresponding period in 2014.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was RMB18.1 million (US$2.8 million) for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to RMB13.5 million for the corresponding period in 2014.

Total Comprehensive Income and Earnings per Share

As a result of the foregoing, total comprehensive income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was RMB85.9 million (US$13.3 million), compared to RMB80.9 million for the corresponding period in 2014.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were RMB0.47 (US$0.07) and RMB0.46 (US$0.07) for the fourth quarter of 2015, respectively, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of RMB0.68 and RMB0.66, respectively, in the corresponding period in 2014.

Foreign Currency Translation Differences

We recorded other comprehensive income of RMB8.4 million (US$1.3 million) for the fourth quarter of 2015 upon translation of the financial statements of our non-PRC entities into Renminbi, as a result of depreciation of Renminbi against U.S. dollars. We recorded other comprehensive loss of RMB3.1 million in the corresponding period in 2014 for such foreign currency translation difference,

Recent Business Developments


    --  MY launched the our 2.0MW WTG with the largest rotor diameter - In
        November 2015, MY's latest 2.0MW product featuring its 121 meter blades
        design was unveiled and is expected to provide customers with a new
        solution to reduce per kWh costs. This new product has been certificated
        by China General Certification and TUV Rheinland.
    --  MY completed the design of the MY SCD3.0MW-135 WTG - This next
        generation of 3.0MW SCD products is a successor to the existing MY
        SCD3.0-121 product. With the aim of providing a solution to wind
        projects in low-wind onshore regions where land geography and
        transportation are difficult for conventional products, a pilot
        installation of this new product is targeted to be completed and grid
        connected in mid-2016.
    --  MY announced strategic rollout for technology upgrade - Ming Yang has
        been working closely with the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands
        (ECN) to develop a cutting-edge model-based control system to boost
        power generation of various WTG products while ensuring reliability. In
        addition, MY acquired the core technology of the SCD gearbox by
        soliciting a seasoned in-house research team and cooperating with a
        German research firm.

Business Updates

Order Book Updates


    --  New Sales Contracts -- During the fourth quarter of 2015, Ming Yang
        entered into sales contracts for wind power projects with a total output
        of 642.0 MW, representing 66 units of 1.5MW WTGs, 246 units of 2.0MW
        WTGs and 17 units of 3.0MW WTGs.
    --  Order Backlog -- As of December 31, 2015, the Company's order backlog
        was approximately 3.7GW, representing 357 units of 1.5MW WTGs, 1,505
        units of 2.0MW WTGs, 53 units of 3.0MW SCD WTGs.

Industry Updates


    --  During the year of 2015, the newly installed grid-connected wind power
        capacity in China was 33.0GW, a record high, according to statistics
        compiled by the National Energy Administration (the "NEA"). According to
        a draft consultation paper issued by the NEA, by the end of the 13(th)
        FYP period (2016-2020), the cumulative wind power installation in China
        is expected to reach 250GW. The NEA later also announced that total
        approved wind project construction in China will amount to 30.8GW in
        2016.
    --  According to data published by the NEA, China's electricity consumption
        in 2015 recorded a marginal increase of 0.5% while the total power
        generating capacity from all energy sources rose 10.4% compared to the
        previous year, implying an increasing electricity oversupply. Affected
        by this, during the year of 2015, average wind curtailment surged by 7
        percentage points to 15% and average wind energy utilization hours
        declined by 8.7% on a year-over-year basis.
    --  In December 2015, the NDRC announced the tariff cut by lowering the wind
        power benchmark tariffs for new projects by RMB0.01-0.04 per kWh in 2016
        and further reducing the tariff by RMB0.02-0.03 per kWh in 2018,
        depending on the locations and grid-connection time of the wind
        projects, with the aim to make the price of wind power competitive
        against coal power.
    --  In January 2016, China's Ministry of Finance and National Development
        and Reform Commission (NDRC) jointly announced to raise the renewable
        energy fund fee for conventional power generation, from RMB 1.5 cents
        per kWh to 1.9 cents per kWh. This initiative is set to address the
        current subsidy shortfall and further promote renewable energy in China.
    --  In March 2016, the NEA announced the renewable energy quota system which
        specifically requires each province to generate 5-13% (national average:
        9%) power output from non-hydro renewable energy sources by 2020. To
        provide provinces with a realistic solution to meet their targets, the
        NEA further proposed a market-oriented green certificate system where
        conventional power plants could pay to acquire certain green
        certificates from new energy firms to help achieve the target instead of
        setting up wind farms or solar farms on their own.
