LDK Solar Reports Financial Results for Third Quarter of Fiscal 2011

We, LDK Solar Co., Ltd., have reported our unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011. All financial results are reported in U.S. dollars on a U.S. GAAP basis.

Third Quarter Highlights

• Net sales of $471.9 million;

• Shipped 292.5 megawatts, or MW, of wafers, 192.1 MW of modules in the third quarter;

• Produced a total of approximately 2,883 metric tons, or MT, of polysilicon during the third quarter; and

• Produced a total of approximately 296 MW of cells during the third quarter.

Net sales for the third quarter 2011 were $471.9 million, compared to $499.4 million for the second quarter 2011, and $675.6 million for the third quarter 2010.

Gross loss for the third quarter 2011 was $17.0 million, compared to gross profit of $11.0 million for the second quarter 2011, and gross profit of $150.0 million for the third quarter 2010.

Gross margin for the third quarter 2011 was negative 3.6%, compared to positive 2.2% for the second quarter 2011, and positive 22.2% for the third quarter 2010.

During the preparation of our third quarter 2011 financial results, our management determined that an inventory write-down of $47.3 million was required as a result of the significant drop in market price for wafers and modules during the third quarter. As a result, gross margin and results from operations were negatively impacted in the third quarter 2011.

Loss from operations for the third quarter 2011 was $77.1 million, compared to loss from operations of $47.9 million for the second quarter 2011, and income from operations of $119.5 million for the third quarter 2010.

Operating margin for the third quarter 2011 was negative 16.3% compared to negative 9.6% for the second quarter 2011, and positive 17.7% for the third quarter 2010.

Income tax benefit for the third quarter 2011 was $1.7 million, compared to income tax expense of $6.7 million for the second quarter 2011, and income tax expense of $14.8 million for the third quarter 2010.

Net loss attributable to our shareholders for the third quarter 2011 was $114.5 million, or a loss of $0.87 per diluted ADS, compared to a net loss of $87.7 million, or a loss of $0.62 per diluted ADS, for the second quarter 2011, and net income of $93.4 million, or $0.72 per diluted ADS, for the third quarter 2010. The number of shares for calculating diluted ADS was approximately 131.0 million for the third quarter 2011.

We ended the third quarter 2011 with $262.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $605.6 million in short-term pledged bank deposits.

“During the third quarter, our business was impacted by the continued downturn in the solar industry,” stated Xiaofeng Peng, Chairman and CEO of LDK Solar. “Weak market demand and rapidly declining average selling prices throughout the solar supply chain resulted in shipment volumes and revenues lower than what we previously anticipated.

“While we continue to believe that the significant opportunities to meet global energy needs with solar power will drive long-term market growth, in the near-term we expect challenging conditions in the solar industry to continue. As such, we remain focused on strengthening our balance sheet, increasing our operating efficiencies and improving our cost structure,” concluded Mr. Peng.
