First Solar今天宣布了 2010年第二季度的財務業績，數據統計到6月26日。

季度凈銷售額為五億八千七百九十萬美元，與2009年的第二季度相比增長12％，由于產量增加和系統的收入，部分抵消了利率下降和歐元匯率下降所帶來的價格波動。

第二季度到2010年的凈銷售額比2010年第一季度增長了19.9萬，主要是由于整套承包系統銷售。第二季度每股凈收入所得每股1.84美元，低于2009年第二季度的2.11美元，低于2010年第一季度的2.00美元。
 
年跌幅主要由于較低價格模塊的平均銷售價格和較高的經營開銷，經營開銷的費用部分被組件生產的擴大和每瓦特的低組件成本所抵消。季度跌幅主要由于較高的經營費用影響。

光伏組件的生產成本降低至0.76/watt，與上一季度比，下跌0.05美元和去年同期相比下降13％。

對于2010年，First Solar預計凈銷售額為25億到26億美元，反映了我們的業務系統模塊生產能力到滿足歐洲客戶對模塊強勁需求的重新分配。

First Solar today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 26, 2010.

Quarterly net sales were $587.9 million, up 12% from $525.9 million in the second quarter of 2009, due to increased production volumes and systems revenue, partially offset by a decline in pricing and lower euro exchange rates.

Second quarter 2010 net sales increased $19.9 million from the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to increased turnkey system sales. Second quarter net income per fully diluted share was $1.84, down from $2.11 in the second quarter of 2009 and down from $2.00 in the first quarter of 2010.

Year over year, the declines were primarily driven by lower module average selling prices, and higher operating expenses that were partially offset by increased module production and lower module cost per watt. Quarter over quarter, the declines were primarily driven by higher operating expenses.
PV module manufacturing cost was reduced to $0.76/watt, down $0.05 from the prior quarter and 13% year over year.

Annual throughput per line was up 6% quarter over quarter to 59.0 MW. This increases announced or operating capacity from 2.1 to 2.2 GW by 2012.

For 2010, First Solar forecasts net sales of $2.5 to $2.6 billion, reflecting reallocation of module capacity from our systems business to meet stronger module demand by our European customers.

Total capital spending is projected to be $575 to $625 million. The company expects to generate $575 to $625 million of operating cash flow.
