[1] JinkoSolar adjusts net income attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders to exclude 1) changes in fair value of convertible senior notes and capped call options, 2) interest expenses on the convertible senior notes, and 3) the exchange gain on the convertible senior notes and capped call options. Consistent with this approach, we believe that disclosing non-GAAP net income and earnings per share to the readers of our financial statements provides useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP net income and earnings per share, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance.
