BAODING, China, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited ("Yingli Green Energy" or "the Company"), one of the world's leading vertically integrated photovoltaic ("PV") product manufacturers, today reaffirmed its business outlook for fiscal year 2009, as previously announced on the Company's earnings conference call on November 26, 2008, in response to certain recent news articles erroneously stating that the Company expected its total PV module shipments to reach 400 megawatts in 2009.
Based on current market and operating conditions, estimated production capacity and forecasted customer demand, as well as current exchange rates for the U.S. dollar, Euro and Renminbi, the Company estimates that its total PV module shipments in 2009 will be approximately 550 MW to 600 MW, subject to, among other factors, the successful installation and ramp-up of the Company's additional 200 MW planned expansion in the third quarter of 2009.
In addition, after taking into consideration the several mid- to long-term virgin polysilicon supply agreements with leading global polysilicon suppliers which will start delivery at the beginning of 2009, estimated polysilicon prices in 2009, the negative impact of expected decreases in the average sales price of PV modules and further depreciation of the Euro versus U.S. dollar, the Company estimates that its gross margin in 2009 will be at least 24%.
