GUELPH, Ontario, May 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Canadian Solar Inc. (the "Company", or "Canadian Solar") Canadian Solar Inc. (the "Company", or "Canadian Solar") (NASDAQ: CSIQ), one of the world's largest solar power companies, today announced it has been selected as the sole module supplier to provide 268 MW of double-glass Dymond modules for the first phase of the 800 MW Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park (DEWA Project) in Dubai. When completed in 2020, the three-phase DEWA Project will be one of the world's largest single-location solar parks. The EPC Joint Venture (JV) Consortium consists of Acciona, Gransolar and Ghella. The first phase of the DEWA project will use more than 800,000 double-glass modules upon its completion. The production and delivery has started this month.
Canadian Solar's proven track-record, solid bankability and high-quality standards were key factors in winning the mandate from the EPC JV. As a pioneer in double-glass module manufacturing technology, Canadian Solar has delivered close to 1 GW of double-glass modules worldwide since 2013. The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is part of the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030, which seeks to secure a sustainable supply of energy through diversification in sources. Dubai aims to reduce its reliance on imported natural gas and increase solar energy to 7% of the total by 2010 and 15% by 2030. Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Canadian Solar, commented: "We are proud to be partnering with Masdar / DEWA / EDF and the EPC JV on this outstanding project. I am confident that Canadian Solar's Dymond modules will perform well in the project's hot desert climate. As Dubai diversifies its energy portfolio, our partnership will serve as an excellent example for future utility-scale solar projects in the region, and we are eager to contribute further to the energy market growth in the Middle East."

For the three months ended March 31, 2017
“The second quarter of fiscal 2017 was the Company’s best ever,” said Randy Buchamer, Legend’s President & CEO. “The beginning of Legend’s Fiscal year marked a transition from startup entity to growth stage company. We added first class talent to the team, strengthened our balance sheet, improved operational capacity, and our product has proven itself a strong performer, offering appreciable value. We have experienced sizable growth in Committed Orders since March 31, 2017 and anticipate this trend to continue even as our sale-to-revenue recognition cycle, shortens. The benefits of our now established five pillar foundation are positively impacting all aspects of our business and should continue to bear fruit as Legend matures as an organization.” The Legend Power sales team continued to increase opportunity flow in core target markets during the quarter. Strategic changes in the sales leadership structure, implemented in the previous quarter, eliminated barriers to success and led to a greater degree of team member empowerment. Several proof-of-concept deals are expected to move to full product rollouts as new opportunities and markets continue to materialize. Organic growth is taking place in key market verticals. Legend is focused on: Sales
Marketing
Engineering
Operations
Financial summary for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016
1 Gross margin is based on a blend of both equipment and installation revenue. 2 Adjusted EBITDA; for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we are disclosing Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS financial measure, as a supplementary indicator of operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, amortization, foreign exchange amounts and non-cash stock based compensation. 3 Before other items. Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $1,001,382, up from $914,413 in the same period of fiscal 2016. Year to date revenue was $1,646,229, up from $1,447,800 in the same period of 2016. The increases in revenue in both periods are attributable to increasing demand for the Company’s product combined with particularly strong results realized in the education market vertical. Gross blended margin % in the second quarter 2017 was 51.1%, an improvement from 39.0% in the same period of 2016. Year to date gross blended margin was 47.8%, significantly improved from 34.4% in 2016. The increases are due primarily to economies of scale achieved through higher volume of units sold and a stronger profit margin contribution from installation services. Management expects gross blended margin to continue to improve with volume, cost optimization, and a strengthened field operations team focused on profitability in our installation services business. Operating expense as a percentage of revenue in the second quarter 2017 was 75.9% compared with 78.3% in the same quarter of 2016. Year to date operating expense was 91.7%, down from 95.8% in 2016. The decreases in both comparative periods is due primarily to increases in revenue in the current year periods, offset slightly by marginally higher operating expenses as the Company undergoes growth in the current year. Second quarter 2017 Adjusted EBITDA was negative $119,238, a significant improvement from negative $214,622 in 2016. Year to date Adjusted EBITDA was negative $464,952, an improvement over negative $588,062 in 2016. The Company was able to realize these improved results in both comparative periods by achieving stronger sales and gross margin, which was offset slightly by higher operating expenses. Net loss for the second quarter 2017 was $248,198, down from $359,297 in 2016 and year to date was $721,986 down from $889,668 in 2016. Included in the second quarter 2017 net loss before other items were several significant non-cash items, which totaled $128,960, while in the year to date period non-cash items totaled $257,034.
