Other important information about the Company’s operations during the Reporting Period that should be brought to the attention of investors
x Applicable ¨ Not Applicable
During the reporting period, the company achieved operating revenue of RMB7.129 billion, net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company of RMB519 million, and net profit attributable to shareholders after deducting non-recurring gains and losses of RMB344 million. The substantial increase in profits was mainly attributable to the recognition of refundable IEEPA taxes in the current period.
Pursuant to the final ruling issued by the U.S. Supreme Court on February 20, 2026, certain reciprocal tariffs previously levied by the U.S. Government under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were deemed to lack legal authorization, and the relevant tariff measures are invalid ab initio. Subsequently, the United States Court of International Trade ruled that the collected tariffs in question shall be refunded in accordance with the law. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued an official notice and launched a special tariff refund program starting from April 2026. The Company (or its relevant import entities) falls within the scope of the aforementioned rulings and has legally established enforceable rights to claim tariff refunds.

CSI Solar Co., Ltd. 2026 First Quarter Report
Safe Harbor/Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These statements are made under the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by such terms as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “future”, “ongoing”, “continue”, “intend”, “plan”, “potential”, “prospect”, “guidance”, “believe”, “estimate”, “is/are likely to” or similar expressions, the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, our expectations regarding global electricity demand and the adoption of solar and battery energy storage technologies; our growth strategies, future business performance, and financial condition; our transition to a long-term owner and operator of clean energy assets and expansion of project pipelines; our ability to monetize project portfolios, manage supply chain fluctuations, and respond to economic factors such as inflation and interest rates; our outlook on government incentives, trade measures, regulatory developments, and geopolitical risks; our expectations for project timelines, costs, and returns; competitive dynamics in solar and storage markets; our ability to execute supply chain, manufacturing, and operational initiatives; access to capital, debt obligations, and covenant compliance; relationships with key suppliers and customers; technological advancement and product quality; and risks related to intellectual property, litigation, and compliance with environmental and sustainability regulations. Other risks were described in Canadian Solar’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 20-F filed on April 30, 2025. Although Canadian Solar believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All information provided in this press release is as of today’s date, unless otherwise stated, and Canadian Solar undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.
Inherent Uncertainty of the Forecast
The forecast should be read in conjunction with the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein. The forecast is based on numerous assumptions, many of which are beyond our control, and some or all of which may not materialize.
Additionally, to the extent that the assumptions inherent in the forecast are based upon future business decisions and objectives, they are subject to change. Although the forecast is presented with numerical specificity and is based on reasonable expectations developed by our management, the assumptions and estimates underlying the forecast are subject to significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of CSI Solar and Canadian Solar. Accordingly, the forecast is only an estimate and is necessarily speculative in nature. It is expected that some or all of the assumptions in the forecast will not be realized and that actual results will vary from the forecast. Such variations may be material and may increase over time. In light of the foregoing, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forecast. The forecast should not be regarded as a representation or warranty by Canadian Solar, CSI Solar or any other person that the forecast can or will be achieved.
PRC GAAP
CSI Solar’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with PRC GAAP, whereas Canadian Solar’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). PRC GAAP differs materially from U.S. GAAP. We have not prepared a reconciliation of the financial statements between PRC GAAP and U.S. GAAP and has not quantified such differences. In addition, Canadian Solar’s financial statements eliminate all intercompany transactions between Canadian Solar and its subsidiaries. As a result, CSI Solar’s financial statements are not directly comparable to the corresponding consolidated financial performance of Canadian Solar. Investors should consult their own professional advisors for an understanding of the differences between PRC GAAP and U.S. GAAP and how those differences might affect the information contained in the financial statements.
No Audit or Review
The financial statements above have not been audited or reviewed by the independent public accountants of Canadian Solar or CSI Solar. The financial statements should not be relied upon by investors to provide the same type or quality of information as information that has been subject to an audit or review by independent auditors.
