China Wind Power Reports Second Quarter Results

28/11/2011 9:00pm

Marketwired Canada


China Wind Power International Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CNW) ("China Wind Power" or
the "Company"), an independent wind power producer in China, today reported its
financial results for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, and
provided an update on its wind farm development projects in Du Mon County. All
amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.


"While our results for the quarter were down due to a major maintenance
completed at Phase 1 in August, our year-to-date results remain well ahead of
those from a year earlier," said Mr. Jun Liu, Chief Executive Officer of China
Wind Power. "Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Phase 1 generated 11.2
million KWh of electricity during the month of October compared to 10.7 million
KWh in October of last year. Importantly, we are now at the time of year when
wind speeds in northern China are at their highest and the potential for power
generation is at its peak."

(1) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) 
 is often used as a measure of financial performance. However, EBITDA is not
 a term that has specific meaning in accordance with IFRS accounting        
 principles and may be calculated differently by other companies. China Wind
 Power reconciles EBITDA to its net earnings (loss). Adjusted EBITDA        
 excludes stock-based compensation.                                         



China Wind Power's financial results for the second quarter were impacted by the
Company completing a major maintenance of its Phase 1 wind farm in August. As a
result of the downtime during the maintenance period, Phase 1 generated
approximately 14.5 million KWh of electricity during the quarter, down from more
than 15.2 million KWh in the second quarter of last year. The lower output
resulted in a 3.5% decrease in revenue for the quarter.


Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter decreased nearly $0.8 million to $0.5 million.
The decrease was largely the result of the lower revenue for the quarter and a
$0.7 million decrease in other income. The increase in net loss for the quarter
was also due to a $0.1 million increase in stock-based compensation resulting
from newly issued stock options.
