DHL Welcomes Lions to Hong Kong to Kick-off 2013 Tour

• Legendary DHL Rugby Ambassadors from the UK and Hong Kong to encourage young talent with local students in support of GoTeach
• DHL chosen as naming rights partner for the 2013 British & Irish Tour to Australia as part of its global support for rugby

HONG KONG, May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — DHL, the world’s leading logistics company, today announced it will be supporting the much anticipated British & Irish Tour to Australia 2013 this summer when it kicks off in Hong Kong on 1 June. The match marks the first time the Lions will play in Hong Kong’s history.

The DHL Australia 2013 Lions Tour complements the company’s global support of rugby, which is as international as its network extending to local rugby teams in countries such as Kenya, South Africa and Fiji. DHL also successfully delivered rugby to the world in 2011 as the Official Logistics Partner of the Rugby World Cup 2011, title sponsor of the DHL Hong Kong 2010 Bledisloe Cup and was a partner of the 2005 DHL Lions Series of New Zealand.

“As a city with a rich association with rugby, DHL is excited to welcome the Lions to Hong Kong as part of the DHL Australia 2013 Lions Tour. As a sport played all over the world that celebrates speed and dedication, rugby is the perfect fit for us as a global brand. We’re proud to continue our long association with the sport and look forward to delivering this exciting event to Hong Kong,” said Ken Lee, Head of Commercial, Asia Pacific and Managing Director, Hong Kong and Macau.

DHL will also offer a group of 90 local students, aged five to six from three Po Leung Kuk Kindergartens, a chance to meet some renowned rugby heroes ahead of the match. Three DHL Rugby Ambassadors, Hong Kong-born Rowan Varty of the Barbarians and Lions legends Mike Teague and Peter Winterbottom, will play games of rugby with the children from low-income families to help them learn more about the game on 31 May at the Hong Kong Football Club. The event supports the company’s GoTeach program by encouraging educational opportunities for young people. It follows DHL’s longstanding promotion of youth rugby in the territory, including past support for local mini rugby events.

“I am very pleased that we have been able to partner with DHL as the major naming rights partner of the DHL Australia 2013 Lions Tour. We have heard a lot about the passion and energy Hong Kong has for rugby and we look forward to meeting local students to help share some of our tips and experiences. This iconic event is always a major occasion for fans and this tour promises to be no different,” said rugby legend Mike Teague, DHL Ambassador for the Hong Kong match. 

The tour begins on Saturday, 1June when the Lions face the Barbarians at Hong Kong Stadium in their second-ever match-up. The Lions play 9 matches in total, with the remainder taking place across Australia, including three test matches against the Qantas Wallabies.

Trina Solar Announces First Quarter 2013 Results

CHANGZHOU, China, May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Trina Solar Limited (TSL) (“Trina Solar” or the “Company”), a global leader in photovoltaic (“PV”) modules, solutions, and services, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2013.

First Quarter 2013 Financial and Operating Highlights

• Solar module shipments were approximately 393 MW during the first quarter of 2013, representing a sequential decrease of 5.3% from the fourth quarter of 2012
• Net revenues were $260.2 million, a decrease of 14.0% from the fourth quarter of 2012
• Gross profit was $4.4 million, a decrease of 21.5% from the fourth quarter of 2012
• Gross margin was 1.7%, compared to 1.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012
• The Company had an accounts receivables provision reversal of $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2013
• Operating loss was $40.1 million, compared to $70.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012
• Operating margin was negative 15.4%, compared to negative 23.3% in the fourth quarter of 2012
• The Company had a foreign currency exchange loss of $19.0 million, net of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments
• Net loss was $63.7 million, compared to a net loss of $87.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012
• Loss per fully diluted American Depositary Share (“ADS” and each ADS represents 50 of the Company’s ordinary shares) was $0.90, compared to $1.23 in the fourth quarter of 2012

“While the average selling price (“ASP”) of modules continued to decline in the first quarter due to the lingering supply-demand imbalance in the global PV industry, the rate of decline has slowed from previous quarters,” said Mr. Jifan Gao, chairman and CEO of Trina Solar. “In this environment, we continue to focus on improving operational efficiency and exercising financial discipline. In the first quarter, the reductions in non-silicon costs we achieved outweighed the fall in ASP, and we also collected a sizeable amount of overdue accounts receivables. These efforts enable us to maintain strong liquidity and a robust balance sheet, making us better positioned to capture future growth opportunities.

“As previously announced, we completed several restructuring and streamlining initiatives in the second half of 2012 and we saw sustained improvements in our general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2013. We will continue to strictly control operating costs while maintaining our product quality and service capabilities. In terms of revenues, we achieved strong sequential shipment growth in Japan and India, two of the most important emerging markets for the PV industry. In Europe we worked to retain quality customers and were also able to diversify our customer base. Trina Solar remains committed to continuing to serve our customers and business partners in Europe as the EU’s preliminary determination on antidumping and countervailing duty tariffs against Chinese solar products approaches.

“At the beginning of the year, we announced that the Company had been awarded the right to develop a 50 MW solar project in Gansu province, China. We began construction on the project during the end of the first quarter and expect to connect the project to the power grid and begin limited production by the end of the third quarter of 2013. For our downstream systems business, we remain committed to focusing on R&D and delivering innovative products and solutions to lower installation costs, while enhancing the efficiencies and ease-of-use of solar energy.”

Recent Business Highlights

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company:

• Obtained approval from the Gansu Provincial Development and Reform Commission to develop a 50 MW grid-connected solar power plant in Wuwei, Gansu Province. The project is part of a plan to stimulate the economy in a region challenged by semi-desert conditions. The Wuwei municipality is well-suited for solar energy production due to favorable irradiance and the ability to sell and transmit electricity to other regions in addition to supplying local needs.
• Announced that it will supply 30 MW of photovoltaic modules to Gestamp Solar, one of the world’s leading companies in the development and management of photovoltaic parks, for two projects in South Africa. Large-scale solar power systems will be installed in the towns of Prieska and De Aar in Northern Cape Province, with the capacity to generate 20 MW and 10 MW respectively. According to the terms of the agreement, deliveries will be made in the third quarter of 2013.
• Announced 60-cell PDG5, the first in Trina Solar‘s new line of dual-rated frameless modules. The PDG5 is resistant to potential induced degradation (PID) and micro-cracking, and does not require grounding. The PDG5 provides reliable performance under stressful environmental conditions.
• Announced that according to a new report from Solar Business Services, titled “Australian PV – Technology and Brands 2013”, Trina Solar was the most popular solar panel brand in Australia during 2012, accounting for 100 MW of installations.
• Announced that it has been recognized by Fast Company magazine in their 2013 list of The World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in China.
• Announced a new slimline frame design across its full range of 72-cell monocrystalline and 60-cell polycrystalline modules. Frame thickness has been reduced from 40mm to 35mm, and products are immediately available.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to the first quarter of 2013, the Company:

• Filed its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2013.
• Announced that Jodie Roussell, Head of Public Affairs Europe at TrinaSolar, had been elected Vice-President of the Board of the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) at the EPIA’s annual general meeting in Brussels in March 2013.

First Quarter 2013 Results

Net Revenues
Net revenues in the first quarter of 2013 were $260.2 million, a decrease of 14.0% sequentially and 25.6% year-over-year. Total shipments were 392.6 MW, compared to 414.5 MW in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 380.0 MW in the first quarter of 2012. The sequential decrease in shipments was caused primarily by a seasonal weakness in China, which, together with the continuous decline in ASP due to supply-demand imbalances, caused the decrease in revenues.

Gross Profit and Margin
Gross profit in the first quarter of 2013 was $4.4 million, compared to a gross profit of $5.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $20.3 million in the first quarter of 2012.

Gross margin was 1.7% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to 1.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 5.8% in the first quarter of 2012. The year-on-year decrease in gross margin was due primarily to declines in the ASP of modules that exceeded decreases in costs during the past year.

Operating Expense, Loss and Margin
Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2013 were $44.5 million, a decrease of 41.5% sequentially and a decrease of 26.0% year-over-year. The Company’s operating expenses represented 17.1% of its first quarter net revenues, a decrease from 25.1% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 17.2% in the first quarter of 2012. The sequential percentage decrease was primarily due to an accounts receivables provision reversal of $11.1 million during the first quarter of 2013 and expense control measures taken by the Company since the second half of 2012. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2013 included $1.1 million in share-based compensation expenses, compared to $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2012.

As a result of the foregoing, operating loss in the first quarter of 2013 was $40.1 million, compared to operating losses of $70.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $39.9 million in the first quarter of 2012. Operating margin was negative 15.4% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to negative 23.3% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and negative 11.4% in the first quarter of 2012.

Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2013 was $13.2 million, compared to $11.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. The sequential increase in net interest expense was primarily due to an increase in average bank borrowings in the first quarter of 2013.

Foreign Currency Exchange Loss and Gain
The Company had a foreign currency exchange loss of $19.0 million in the first quarter of 2013, which included changes in fair value of derivative instruments, compared to a net gain of $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and a net gain of $9.0 million in the first quarter of 2012. This net loss was primarily due to the depreciation of the Euro and Japanese Yen against the U.S. dollar during the first quarter of 2013, offset by gains from foreign currency hedging contracts involving the Euro, Renminbi, and U.S. dollar used by the Company to mitigate its foreign currency risk exposure.

Income Tax Benefit and Expense
Income tax benefit was $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to income tax expense of $11.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and income tax benefit of $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. The income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2013 primarily resulted from a deferred tax benefit recognized in connection with the net operating losses incurred in the quarter, net of provision for valuation allowance.

Net Loss and Loss per ADS
As a result of the foregoing, net loss was $63.7 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to net loss of $87.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $29.8 million in the first quarter of 2012.

Net margin was negative 24.5% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to negative 28.8% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and negative 8.5% in the first quarter of 2012.

Loss per fully diluted ADS was $0.90 in the first quarter of 2013. The impact of accounts receivables provision reversal was approximately $0.16, while the effect of the foreign currency exchange net loss was approximately $0.27, per ADS.

Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $822.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, and a working capital balance of $238.5 million. Total bank borrowings were $1,226.4 million, of which $395.5 million were long-term borrowings. The Company decreased its short-term borrowings by $45.0 million to approximately $830.8 million as of March 31, 2013.

At the end of the first quarter of 2013, $83.6 million of the Company’s convertible senior notes due July 2013 remained outstanding, which remained unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2012.

Shareholders’ equity was $823.5 million as of March 31, 2013, a decrease from $881.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012.

Second Quarter and Fiscal Year 2013 Guidance

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company expects to ship between 500 MW to 530 MW of PV modules.

The Company believes its overall gross margin for the second 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 middle single-digits in percentage terms. Such guidance is based on the exchange rate between the Euro and U.S. dollar as of May 29, 2013.

For the full year 2013, the Company maintains its previous guidance of 2.0 GW to 2.1 GW for total PV module shipments.

Operations and Business Outlook

Manufacturing Costs
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company continued its efforts to reduce manufacturing costs, achieving a reduction of high single digit in percentage terms from a quarter ago. The sequential decrease in non-silicon manufacturing costs were primarily due to improved supply chain cost control, increased utilization of the Company’s in-house manufacturing capacities, as well as increases in the Company’s module efficiencies and improvements in its manufacturing processes.

As a result of increased average poly-silicon spot prices in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company experienced a sequential increase in silicon costs in its module manufacturing business. Through its diversified range of short, medium and long-term supply agreements, the Company will continue to maintain competitive silicon costs relative to current market prices.

2013 Manufacturing Capacity
As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s annualized in-house ingot and wafer production capacity remained approximately 1.2 GW and its PV cell and module production capacity remained approximately 2.4 GW.

Project Development
The Company has commenced the construction of its 50 MW project in Gansu Province, China. Completion of the project is expected by the end of the third quarter of 2013.

The Company continues to source project opportunities inside and outside of China. The commencement of a project is subject to a number of factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, such as the availability of network transmission and interconnection facilities, as well as the attainment of certain project rights, including land use rights and the right to construct manufacturing facilities in the relevant locations.

Xilinx and TSMC Team to Enable Fastest Time-to-Market and Highest Performance FPGAs on TSMC’s 16-nanometer FinFET

Xilinx ‘FinFast‘ program to deliver test chips in 2013 and first product in 2014

SAN JOSE, Calif. and HSINCHU, May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Xilinx Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) and TSMC (TWSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) announced that they are teaming together to create the fastest time-to-market and highest performance FPGAs to be built on TSMC’s 16-nanometer FinFET (16FinFET) process, a program Xilinx calls ‘FinFast.’ The two companies are providing dedicated resources as part of a ‘one-team’ approach, and will work together to co-optimize the FinFET process with Xilinx’s UltraScale™ architecture.  The program will deliver 16FinFET test chips later in 2013 and its first product in 2014.

The companies are also engaged in leveraging TSMC’s CoWoS 3D IC manufacturing flow for the highest levels of 3D IC systems integration and system-level performance. Products from this collaboration will be announced at a later date.

“I am extremely confident that our ‘FinFast’ collaboration with TSMC on 16nm will bring the same leadership results that we enjoyed at previous advanced technologies,” said Moshe Gavrielov, President and CEO of Xilinx. “We are committed to TSMC as the clear foundry leader in every dimension, from process technology to design enablement, service, support, quality, and delivery.”

“We are committed to working with Xilinx to bring the industry’s highest performance and highest integration programmable devices quickly to market,” said Morris Chang, TSMC Chairman and  CEO.  “Together we will deliver world-class products on TSMC’s 20SoC technology in 2013 and on 16FinFET technology in 2014.”

TSMC recently announced that it is accelerating the production schedule of its 16FinFET process to 2013. The Xilinx/TSMC collaboration will take full advantage of this accelerated schedule and the aggressive performance and power savings of TSMC’s 16FinFET technology.

Xilinx has worked with TSMC to infuse high-end FPGA requirements into the FinFET development process, just as it did in the development of 28HPL and 20SoC processes. To gain optimal results, further co-optimizations will be done across TSMC’s process technology and Xilinx’s UltraScale architecture and next-generation tools. UltraScale is Xilinx’s new ASIC-class architecture, developed to scale from 20-nanometer planar, through 16-nanometer and beyond FinFET technologies, and from monolithic through 3D ICs.

Frost & Sullivan Recognizes Socomec’s Use of Cutting-edge Technology to Deliver Products in Line With Current Market Trends

• The company has gained its competitive edge by delivering unparalleled quality, innovation and customization

LONDON, May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Based on its recent research on the uninterrupted power supply (UPS) market, Frost & Sullivan presents Socomec with the 2013 European Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Differentiation Excellence. Already established in the market as a company that delivers high-quality products and specializes in product customization, Socomec’s level of product differentiation is one of the key reasons for its continuing market penetration and customer acquisition.

“Socomec has been quite successful in identifying key market segments for its products, and its product differentiation excellence mainly stems from the fact that it designs and develops products that match the market needs,” said Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Gautham Gnanajothi. “For instance, the company is currently focusing on two main market trends; the need to reduce the cost of energy along with the emergence of alternative energy sources, and the need for customers to efficiently estimate their power requirements.”

Socomec firmly believes in designing products with value-added features and functionalities, and it does not limit these features to certain power ranges. The company’s entire range offers features that enhance performance, reliability and total protection. Socomec strongly advocates on-line double conversion (V.F.I. or voltage frequency independent) mode for operation, which is the only working mode that guarantees total protection to the load. Its UPS products in all are designed to assure high efficiency, not only at full load, but also at partial load and every possible working condition.

The high focus on quality starts right from the design phase with efficiency and fault tolerance as priority. Socomec is one of the first companies in the industry to employ an innovative “3-Level” technology in its UPS products, incorporating sophisticated power converters with fully digital controls. It is with this technology that Socomec offers one of the industry leading efficiency of 96% in the on-line double conversion mode that means total protection with a reduced energy bill. The company also enforces some of the most rigorous tests in its plants to ensure highest quality for the units it produces.

“Providing customized solutions to end-users is one of the key strategies of Socomec and the company has dedicated departments to handle customization,” noted Gnanajothi. “As a part of this strategy, it continues to focus and develop both transformer-based and transformer-less UPS systems, whereas its competitors focus mainly on transformer-less designs.”

In addition to its engineering and project management department that specializes in identifying client specific needs and comes up with solutions that match the exact client requirements, Socomec has a dedicated service team responsible for coming up with specific service solutions for the customized product to match the special requirements. It also has an extremely strong marketing team which drives the product development and new product innovation efforts.

Socomec has evolved as a company that promises product innovation to address industry challenges such as efficiency, availability and floor space. It boasts of high customer retention and customer satisfaction, which it has acquired over the years by delivering top of the class products. It maintains excellent proximity with its customers in order to understand their needs better and come up with products that demonstrate unique features and functionalities. As a result, Socomec is one of the top UPS companies in Europe.

In recognition of its capability to deliver extraordinary levels of quality, innovation and customization of the highest magnitude, Socomec is the worthy recipient of the 2013 Frost & Sullivan Differentiation Excellence Award. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed a product with unique features/functionality as well as high quality for customers with complex needs. The award lauds the degree of the product’s customization and the fit for evolving market trends, which ultimately results in a strong brand perception of the product as being unique.

Denis Sallee, Marketing Director of Socomec’s Critical Power Business Application, said, “We are proud to receive this prestigious award from Frost & Sullivan. This is the result of our commitment to serve our customers and to respond to their needs. Whatever their application is, DataCentre, medical, or harsh industrial environment, we focus to deliver them the unique solution which answers their expectations.”

Frost & Sullivan’s Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.
