The years 2020 and 2021 had unprecedented, global challenges for ReneSola Power. The novel COVID-19 virus changed everyday life for our employees, customers, and communities. As we enter the Decade of Action, our commitment to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remains steadfast. Sustainability Our role to shape the future of sustainability is one we take seriously. Now more than ever, addressing the climate crisis is of paramount concern. We must build a sustainable, equitable world for future generations. This report reflects our commitment to achieving these goals. I am proud to see the progress we have made in environmental stewardship, social solidarity, and corporate governance. Moving forward, we are focused on two key objectives: global energy sustainability and building on our ESG targets. In tandem, we commit to approaching our financial policies with sustainability in mind, and transparently disclosing relevant risks and opportunities. We have aligned our ESG strategies with the UN SDGs. Sustainability is an essential aspect of our strategic thinking, business development, and long-term value creation, as showcased in our first Sustainability Report. Business and Operational Growth Throughout 2021, we executed operations where we progressed on our mission to become the leading global solar project. Environment Social Appendix 2021 Highlights We accelerated business growth with full-year revenue up 8% year-over-year to $79.7 million and GAAP net income per American Depository Share (ADS) at $0.10 per ADS, up 77% from 2020. We significantly strengthened our financial position and balance sheet by raising $290 million in a follow-on equity offering (January 2021) and reducing debt throughout the year. We increased our project development business' mid-to-late-stage project pipeline from 1 GW to 2.2 GW, 10% higher than our original target of 2.0 GW. We sold a total of 128 MW of solar projects in 2021. This included multiple projects in the USA, Poland, Spain, and Hungary. In Q4 2021, we repurchased approximately $18 million (approximately 3 million ADS, or 4%) of our total ADS outstanding. Since our strategic restructuring in September 2017, we have transitioned to a pure downstream player with a focus on developmental projects globally. We take pride in developing and operating small-scale utility and community solar projects with high Feed-in Tariffs (FiT). Owning and operating commercial projects with a high internal rate of return (IRR) allows us to invest time in projects we truly care about. As always, we strive to maintain a corporate culture that reflects our values. I look forward to your continued support as we embark on this collective effort to transform the future of our planet.
