About this update from Canadian Solar Inc.

KITCHENER, ON , Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Canadian Solar Inc. ("Canadian Solar" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CSIQ) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Second Quarter Highlights Energy storage shipments of 3.7 GWh to internal and external projects under execution, exceeding guidance of 2.8 GWh to 3.2 GWh. Net revenues of $1.2 billion, at the high end of $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion guidance. Gross margin of 13.9% , in line with guidance of 13% to 15%. Officially opened the first phase of the flagship HJT solar cell factory in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Published the 2025 Sustainability Report on June 1, 2026, highlighting new milestones and disclosure updates aligned to global reporting standards. Colin Parkin, CEO of   Canadian Solar , said, "We are executing on a multidimensional solar technology roadmap, spanning advanced cell innovations to next-generation applications. In the near to midterm, U.S. manufacturing remains at the forefront of our strategy. In July, we celebrated the official opening of our state-of-the-art HJT solar cell factory, marking a historic milestone, as Canadian Solar became not only the first commercially operational HJT manufacturer in the United States, but also a meaningful contributor to the local economy and community development. In addition to ramping up the Phase I capacity of 2.1 GWp, we will start installing equipment for Phase II before the end of the year, bringing total nameplate cell capacity to 6.3 GWp in the first half of 2027. This will position CS PowerTech as the largest crystalline silicon cell manufacturer in North America. When combined with our 10 GWp module facility in Texas, CS PowerTech solidifies its position as one of North America's premier integrated PV manufacturers. During the quarter, shipments within our Manufacturing segment were in line with expectations, with slight operational outperformance in battery energy storage, as we continue to navigate global macroeconomic uncertainties with agility. We delivered 3.1 GW of solar modules, with nearly half shipped to our North American home base. In addition, we achieved 3.7 GWh of energy storage shipments to internal and external projects under execution, serving utility-scale projects across North America, EMEA, Asia Pacific and Latin America. As we double down on our U.S. manufacturing strategy, we continue to rebalance our global project development business and optimize capital allocation across our core growth engines." Xinbo Zhu, Senior VP and CFO , added, "For the quarter, we achieved total revenue of $1.2 billion with a gross margin of 13.9% . The sequential decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by the absence of a tariff refund recognized in the prior period, alongside normalized energy storage margins. Net loss attributable to shareholders was $77 million, or $1.40 per share, and we ended the period with a cash position of $1.9 billion. Recurrent Energy's quarterly performance was light, primarily due to the deferral of planned project sales to the second half. Electricity revenue increased sequentially following the COD of a major utility-scale solar project in Spain. Within our global pipeline, we are focusing on quality, prioritizing value realization from mature, high-margin opportunities; pruning less attractive projects; and managing operating expenses to protect profitability." Second Quarter 2026 Results Total solar module shipments recognized as revenue in Q2 2026 were 3.1 GW, up 25% quarter-over-quarter ("qoq") and down 60% year-over-year ("yoy"). Total battery energy storage shipments recognized as revenue in Q2 2026 were 3.7 GWh, up 82% qoq and up 73% yoy. Of the total, 471 MWh were shipped to internal projects under execution, with associated revenue to be recognized in subsequent quarters. Net revenues were $1.2 billion in Q2 2026, up 12% sequentially and down 29% yoy. The sequential increase reflects higher sales of solar modules and battery energy storage solutions, partially offset by lower project sales. The yoy decrease reflects a decline in solar module and project sales. Gross profit was $168 million, compared to $271 million in Q1 2026 and $505 million in Q2 2025. Gross margin was 13.9% , compared to 25.1% and 29.8% in Q1 2026 and Q2 2025, respectively. The sequential and yoy decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the absence of IEEPA tariff refund benefits recognized in the previous quarter and the absence of the release of unrealized profit upon sales-type leasing of a U.S. project in Q2 2025. Operating expenses were $240 million, compared to $198 million in Q1 2026 and down from $378 million in Q2 2025. The sequential increase reflects higher ramp-up costs and logistics costs. The yoy decrease is mainly due to decrease in impairment charges related to certain solar and storage assets, as well as manufacturing assets. Operating expenses represented 19.8% of revenue, compared to 18.4% in Q1 2026 and 22.3% in Q2 2025. Net loss attributable to Canadian Solar in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") in Q2 2026 was $77 million, or a net loss of $1.40 per share, compared to a net loss of $32 million, or a net loss of $0.71 per share, in Q1 2026, and a net income of $7 million, or a net loss of $0.08 per share, in Q2 2025. Net income or loss per diluted share includes the dilutive effect of convertible bonds, as applicable, and paid-in-kind dividends on the Recurrent Energy redeemable preferred shares. Net cash flow used in operating activities in Q2 2026 was $181 million, driven by changes in working capital, compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of $209 million in Q1 2026 and net cash flow provided by operating activities of $189 million in Q2 2025. Total debt, including financing liabilities, was $7.1 billion as of June 30, 2026, including $4.1 billion, $2.5 billion, and $0.4 billion related to Recurrent Energy, Manufacturing, and convertible notes, respectively. Total debt increased from $6.8 billion as of March 31, 2026, mainly due to new non-recourse debt drawdown for construction of solar and battery energy storage projects under Recurrent Energy in the U.S. Total non-recourse debt under Recurrent Energy as of June 30, 2026, was $2.6 billion. Business Segments Canadian Solar's business is organized into two segments: Manufacturing, comprising CS PowerTech, which focuses on the manufacture and sales of solar products, battery energy storage products, and other power technology products for the U.S. market, and CSI Solar, which serves all other global markets; and Recurrent Energy, which focuses on solar power and battery storage project development, asset sales, power services, and electricity revenue from its operating portfolio. Manufacturing Solar Modules and Solar System Kits The Company shipped 3.1 GW of solar modules and solar system kits to more than 70 countries and regions in Q2 2026. Consistent with the Company's transition from volume-driven growth to high-value creation, the Company will focus its capacity disclosure on strategic markets rather than aggregate global manufacturing capacity. In the U.S., the Company operates a 5 GWp solar module factory in Mesquite, Texas, which is currently being expanded to a nameplate capacity of 10 GWp, with completion expected in the second half of 2026. The Company is also continuing to advance its flagship, state-of-the-art heterojunction technology ("HJT") solar cell factory in Jeffersonville, Indiana. In response to strong customer demand, the Company is in the process of increasing its production capacity beyond 6 GWp, with additional production lines being installed and commissioned through 2026. Phase I: A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in July 2026. Phase I has a nameplate capacity of 2.1 GWp and is the first commercial-scale HJT solar cell facility in the U.S. Phase II: The Company expects to begin trial production for Phase II in the first quarter of 2027. This expansion will add 4.2 GWp of capacity, bringing the Company's total solar cell nameplate capacity in the U.S. to 6.3 GWp. e-STORAGE: Battery Energy Storage Solutions As of June 30, 2026, e-STORAGE contracted backlog, including contracted long-term service agreements, stood at $3.5 billion. These signed orders represent binding customer commitments and provide significant earnings visibility over a multi-year period. Recurrent Energy As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a total global solar project development pipeline of approximately 22 GWp and a battery energy storage project development pipeline of 84 GWh. The business model consists of three key drivers: Electricity revenue from the operating portfolio to drive stable, diversified cash flows in growth markets; Asset sales , including selective sales of operating assets and development-stage projects, to manage cash flow and debt levels, and to fund growth in the operating portfolio; and Power services (O&M) through long-term operations and maintenance ("O&M") contracts, currently with 15 GW of contracted projects, to drive stable and long-term recurring earnings and synergies with the project development platform. Project Development Pipeline – Solar As of June 30, 2026, the Company's total solar project development pipeline was 21.7 GWp, including 1.7 GWp under construction, 2.2 GWp of backlog, and 17.7 GWp of projects in advanced and early-stage development. The pipeline includes projects that may be retained for long-term ownership and operation or sold to third parties, depending on market conditions and capital allocation priorities. The pipeline stages are defined as follows: Backlog projects are late-stage projects that have passed their risk cliff date and are expected to start construction within the next one to four years. A project's risk cliff date is the date on which it passes the last high-risk development stage and varies by country. Typically, this occurs after the project has received all required environmental and regulatory approvals, and entered into interconnection agreements and offtake contracts, including feed-in tariff ("FIT") arrangements and power purchase agreements ("PPAs"). A significant majority of backlog projects are contracted (i.e., have secured a PPA or FIT), and the remainder have a reasonable likelihood of securing PPAs. Advanced pipeline projects are mid-stage projects that have secured or are assessed by the Company as having a high likelihood of securing an interconnection agreement. Early-stage pipeline projects are early-stage projects managed by the Company that are in the process of securing interconnection. Although the magnitude of the Company's project development pipeline provides an indication of current development activity, it is not a predictor of future owned generation or storage assets, revenue growth, or operating results. The Company may elect to sell, transfer, or otherwise monetize projects at various stages of development, and as a result, not all pipeline projects are expected to contribute to the Company's long-term owned asset base. The development of projects in the Company's pipeline is inherently uncertain. If the Company does not successfully complete the pipeline projects in a timely manner, it may not realize the anticipated benefits of those projects to the extent expected, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, the Company's guidance and estimates of its future operating and financial results assume the timely completion of certain solar and battery energy storage projects under construction or in backlog. If the Company is unable to execute on its projects under construction and in backlog, it may fail to meet its guidance, which could adversely affect the market price of its common shares and its business, results of operations, and financial condition. The following table presents the Company's total solar project development pipeline.

This outlook is subject to uncertainty with respect to, among other things, customer demand, project construction and sale schedules, product sales prices and costs, supply chain constraints, and geopolitical conflicts. Management's views and estimates are subject to change without notice. In Q3 2026, the Company expects total revenue to be in the range of $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion. Gross margin is expected to be between 13.5% and 15.5%. Total module shipments recognized as revenue are expected to be in the range of 3.5 GW to 3.8 GW. Total battery energy storage shipments in Q3 2026 are expected to be in the range of 3.4 GWh to 3.8 GWh. The Company is reiterating its guidance of 6.5 GW to 7.0 GW of solar modules and 4.5 GWh to 5.5 GWh of battery energy storage solutions for the U.S. market in 2026. Colin Parkin, CEO of   Canadian Solar , commented, "We expect margins in the third quarter to remain stable, as we continue to scale our integrated U.S. solar manufacturing strategy, though ramp-up costs associated with our solar cell facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana, will weigh on profitability for the remainder of the year. We anticipate the cadence of U.S. solar and storage shipments to accelerate in the second half, with each quarter of 2026 delivering larger volumes than the last. Meanwhile, at Recurrent, we expect to close the delayed project sales from the second quarter, driving a sequentially stronger third quarter."
