Seversons Summary And the winner is.. FUEL CELLS! The stock action highlight of last week was clearly within our Energy Conversion Technology universe and more specifically in the fuel cell sector. These stocks have had a rollercoaster ride over the past few years and have truly felt the markets loving embrace and pessimistic panic. As is so often the case, the truth sits in the middle and the market has been recognizing some of the real value in this technology and the companies that supply them and use them. They still sit squarely in the category of speculative, but time has been the technologys friend and things are very different today than only a few years ago. Fuel cells are an important technology within our larger focus on the distributed power megatrend and the stocks posted huge gains last week; PLUG (+77%), FCEL (+81%) and BLDP (+43%). The weeks move started on the back of Plug Powers announced deal with Wal-Mart Stores and finished with FCELs announcement that the U.S. Department of Energy awarded the company $2.8 million to continue to develop a fuel-cell plant capable of delivering hydrogen as well as electricity and heat. This also bodes well for private companies such as Bloom Energy and ClearEdge Energy. We continue to believe the distributed power megatrend will be a significant, investible force over the next 5 years and although fuel cell technology is less developed than other conventional forms, it will play an important part in this pending cycle in our opinion (especially as costs come down). Major changes in the power industry including a long-term, cheap supply of natural gas and energy efficiency are significantly altering the power markets. Our view is that the lines that have traditionally separated the renewable from conventional are blurring and that power production decisions are shifting more towards an open approach and recognizing the most efficient solution is often an onsite portfolio approach encompassing multiple technologies onsite (including power from the utility). That is the beauty of generating some or all of your own power for your industrial park, hospital, university or high-rise office building. This is also part of an even bigger trend away from centralized power generation in favor of distributed power, which provides technology and fuel options and very short transmission requirements. There are numerous technologies and players in this arena, including microturbines (CPST), fuel cells (see above), industrial turbines, reciprocating engine generators that are powered by natural gas (PSIX, WPRT, GE, etc.). We of course need to mention wind and especially solar as viable distributed power sources for commercial and residential markets and energy storage technologies that can make intermittent renewable sources even more efficient. You can expect us to continue highlighting this theme in our Weekly Watch as we look for investment opportunities leveraged to this megatrend. I also want to highlight some recent activity out of China. We have all heard stories about the environmental problems China is facing and a theme we have been hearing from companies for some time, but it is important to remind investors that this is real and will present a significant growth driver for a variety of companies in our Energy & Environmental Technologies universe. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang stated a couple of weeks ago at the opening of the annual meeting of parliament that pollution is a major problem and the government will declare war on smog by removing high-emission cars from the road and closing coalfired furnaces. Success, however, will require a comprehensive solution and even small steps will equate to large investments and hence revenue for companies operating in this arena. So what are the weapons used in this war? We would start with air pollution control equipment, water filtration and treatment technologies, natural gas for transportation, natural gas for power generation, renewable energy, coal gasification and energy efficiency just to name a few.

Regarding news flow, last week was generally constructive with several positive industry and company announcements, which included: 1) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency finalized a rule intended to reduce air pollution from passenger cars and trucks by lowering the allowable sulfur content of gasoline and setting new vehicle emissions standards, 2) 2013 was another record year for the U.S. solar industry. According to Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), there were 4,751 MW of new solar capacity installed in 2013, representing a 41% increase year-over-year, 3) Westport Innovation announced a joint development agreement with Delphi Automotive PLC (DLPH) to help entrench Westport High Pressure Direct Injection technology platform for heavy-duty engine applications, 4) Clean Energy Fuels announced that it had opened two Americas natural gas highway stations, expands CNG network and signed multiple fueling agreements, and 5) Maxwell Technologies is expanding its ultracapacitor-based Engine Start Module (ESM) product line to provide the same benefits to class 3 through 6 medium duty trucks that it has been offering previously to class 7 and 8 heavy duty diesel trucks. Most noteworthy from a subsector standpoint is the Fuel Cell sector. Shares of Fuel Cell Energy (FCEL), Plug Power (PLUG), and Ballard Power Systems (BLDP) were up 81.0%, 77.1%, and 42.7% last week, respectively. On an YTD basis, shares of PLUG, BLDP and FCEL are up 433%, 248% and 150% YTD, respectively, (vs. +1.6% for the S&P 500). We attribute the YTD rally for the Fuel Cell sector to the recent positive developments for these fuel cell manufacturers, including: On March 7, 2014, FuelCell Energy announced further progress with developing the on-site distributed hydrogen generation market with a $2.8 million continuation of an award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Manufacturing Office to showcase the tri-generation capabilities of a Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R) ) power plant for industrial applications. On February 26, 2014, Plug Power announced that it had received a multi-site GenKey purchase order from Walmart Stores, Inc. to roll out its hydrogen fuel cell solution to power electric lift truck fleets at six North America distribution centers. On February 25, 2014, Ballard Power Systems reported better-than-expected 4Q results. On February 19, 2014, FuelCell Energy announced a series of updates about the Asian market including completion of the world's largest fuel cell park in South Korea, the sale of 3.7 megawatts of fuel cell modules to POSCO Energy in the first quarter of 2014 to meet increasing demand, and a 19.6 megawatt fuel cell park to be constructed in Seoul City, South Korea.

On the earnings front, the earnings season for the Energy & Environmental Technologies (E&ET) space to date has been mixed with 29 beats, 19 misses and 6 in-line compared to consensus estimates. In terms of

management expectation, two companies raised FY14 guidance, seven companies reaffirmed guidance for FY14 last week. Overall, twenty seven companies issued upside to in-line guidance for FY14 to date, while six companies issued downside guidance vs. consensus estimates.

U.S. ISM MANUFACTURING INDEX REBOUNDED TO 53.2 IN JANUARY; U.S. MANUFACTURING GROWTH ACCELERATES IN FEBRUARY http://www.ism.ws/about/MediaRoom/newsreleasedetail.cfm?ItemNumber=24056 U.S. manufacturing growth rebounded off an eight-month low in February, helped by a recovery in new orders. Economic activity in the manufacturing sector expanded in February for the ninth consecutive month, and the overall economy grew for the 57th consecutive month, according to The Institute for Supply Management Manufacturing Business Survey Committee. The February PMI registered 53.2 percent, an increase of 1.9 percentage points from January's reading of 51.3 percent. The report reversed two straight months of slowing growth, though it remains below November's recent peak reading of 57, which is the highest since April 2011. The New Orders Index registered 54.5 percent, an increase of 3.3 percentage points from January's reading of 51.2 percent.

CHINA PMI (FINAL READING) DECREASED TO A SEVEN-MONTH LOW OF 48.5 IN FEBRUARY, THE THIRD STRAIGHT MONTHLY DECLINE http://www.hsbc.com/news-and-insight/2014/pmi-drop-after-fall-in-orders The February data signaled a moderate deterioration in the health of the Chinese manufacturing sector. After adjusting for seasonal factors, such as the recent Chinese New Year festival, the HSBC Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) posted at 48.5 in February, up fractionally from the earlier flash reading of 48.3, and down from 49.5 in January (the official Chinese data showed PMI of 50.2, down from 50.5 in January). Both output and new orders dropped in February for the first time since July 2013. As a result, businesses reduced their staffing levels at the quickest pace in nearly five years. Input costs and output charges declined at their fastest rate in eight months. New export orders also fell but at a modest pace.

Weekly Diesel Consumption Diesel fuel product supplied averaged over 3.61 million barrels per day over the last four weeks. The most recent datapoint the week ending February 28 shows diesel demand down 4.3% y/y on a 4-week moving average basis. This is down from -0.1% last week.

The microturbines will be used in a CHP (Combined Heat and Power) application to offset the facility's electric base load in addition to providing steam and hot water, boosting their overall site efficiency. Emissions Control EPA FINALIZES FUEL SULFUR AND VEHICLE EMISSION STANDARDS http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/d0cf6618525a9efb85257359003fb69d/ce8984957ffefa6a85257c9 0004fe802!OpenDocument The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last week finalized a rule intended to reduce air pollution from passenger cars and trucks by lowering the allowable sulfur content of gasoline and setting new vehicle emissions standards. These cleaner fuel and car standards are an important component of the administrations national program for clean cars and trucks, which also include historic fuel efficiency standards that are saving new vehicle owners at the gas pump. Once fully in place, the standards will help avoid up to 2,000 premature deaths per year and 50,000 cases of respiratory ailments in children. Known as Tier 3, the rule will take effect on January 1, 2017. It continues the transition that began with EPAs Tier 2 program, finalized in 2000, in which EPA treated vehicles and fuels as a system to reduceboth gasoline sulfur and vehicle emissions.The Tier 3 vehicle standards reduce both tailpipe and evaporative emissions from passenger cars, light-duty trucks, medium-duty passenger vehicles, and some heavy-duty vehicles. The final fuel standards will reduce gasoline sulfur levels by more than 60 percent down from 30 to 10 parts per million (ppm). Reducing sulfur in gasoline enables vehicle emission control technologies to perform more efficiently.New low-sulfur gas will provide significant and immediate health benefits because every gaspowered vehicle on the road built prior to these standards will run cleaner cutting smog-forming NOx emissions by 260,000 tons in 2018. The Tier 3 standards cut tailpipe pollution where people live and breathe reducing harmful emissions along the streets and roadways that run through our neighborhoods and near our childrens schools. By 2018, EPA estimates the cleaner fuels and cars program will annually prevent between 225 and 610 premature deaths, significantly reduce ambient concentrations of ozone and reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by about 260,000 tons. That is about 10 percent of emissions from on-highway vehicles, with those reductions reaching 25 percent (330,000 tons) by 2030. By 2030, EPA estimates that up to 2,000 premature deaths, 50,000 cases of respiratory ailments in children, 2,200 hospital admissions and asthma-related emergency room visits, and 1.4 million lost school days, work days and days when activities would be restricted due to air pollution. Total health-related benefits in 2030 will be between $6.7 and $19 billion annually. The program will also reduce exposure to pollution near roads. More than 50 million people live, work, or go to school in close proximity to high-traffic roadways, and the average American spends more than one hour traveling along roads each day.

Earnings News Solar JINKOSOLAR HOLDING BEATS BY $0.35, BEATS ON REVENUE; GUIDES Q1/FY14 PRODUCTION http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/jinkosolar-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2013-financialresults-248169831.html Co. reported 4Q earnings of $1.28 per share, excluding non-recurring items, vs. consensus $0.93. Revenue increased 87.5% y/y to $361 million vs. consensus $346.8 million. The sequential increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the overall increase in shipments of solar modules. The year-over-year increase in total revenues was mainly a result of the increase in the shipments of solar modules, improving solar module's average selling prices and the electricity revenues generated from solar projects. Gross margin was 24.7% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with 22.3% in the third quarter of 2013 and 3.8% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The sequential increase in gross margins was primarily attributable to improvements in operating efficiency and continued cost reductions. The year-overyear increase in gross margin was mainly due to improvements in operating efficiency and continued cost reductions for the Company's polysilicon and auxiliary materials, improved ASPs, and the higher gross margin from the electricity revenues. In-house gross margin relating to the Company's in-house silicon wafer, solar cell, and solar module production was 24.3% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with 20.6% in the third quarter of 2013 and 5.6% in the fourth quarter of 2012. Guidance: For Q1, total solar module shipments are expected to be between 440 MW and 470 MW. For the full year 2014, total solar module shipments are expected to be in the range of 2.3 GW to 2.5 GW, with total project development scale expected to be above 400 MW.
TRINA SOLAR BEATS BY $0.09, MISSES ON REVS; SEES Q1 SHIPMENTS -11% QOQ, MID TEENS GROSS MARGIN; SEES FY14 SHIPMENTS UP ~43% http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/trina-solar-announces-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-year-2013-results248344721.html Co. reported 4Q earnings of $0.13 per share, vs. consensus $0.04. Revenues increased 73.6% year/year to $525.6 million vs. consensus $543.54 million. Total shipments were 770.1 MW, compared to 774.6 MW in the third quarter of 2013 and 414.5 MW in the fourth quarter of 2012. The sequential decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower than expected contribution of system sales, and other sales during the fourth quarter. The year-over-year increase in revenues was driven largely by rising shipment volumes on growing demand from key geographical regions, particularly China and Japan. Gross margin was 15.1% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to 15.2% in the third quarter of 2013 and 1.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The sequential decrease was primarily due to the disposal and impairment loss of $9.3 million on our downstream projects in the U.S. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was primarily due to the decrease in costs per watt exceeding the decrease in the ASP of modules year-over-year. Gross margin excluding the impact of project loss was 16.8%. Guidance o In 1Q14 the Company expects to ship between 670 MW to 700 MW of PV modules, of which 20 MW to 30 MW of PV modules will be shipped to its downstream PV projects. o The co believes its blended gross margin for the first quarter of 2014, taking into account of the contribution from its downstream PV projects, will be in the mid-teens in percentage The Blueshirt Group - Energy & Environmental Technologies Practice The Weekly Watch 20

terms. Such guidance is based on the exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar as of March 4, 2014. For the full year of 2014, the co expects its total PV module shipments between 3.6 GW and 3.8 GW, of which 400 MW to 500 MW of PV modules will be shipped to its own downstream projects. This would represent an increase of 39.5% to 47.3% respectively, from 2013. For the full year 2014, the Company expects to complete construction of its downstream PV projects between 400 MW and 500 MW.

CANADIAN SOLAR MISSES BY $0.13, MISSES ON REVENUE; GUIDES Q1 REVENUE BELOW CONSENSUS; GUIDES FY14 REVENUE IN-LINE http://www.marketwatch.com/story/canadian-solar-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2013-results-2014-0305?reflink=MW_news_stmp Co. reported 4Q earnings of $0.39 per share, vs. consensus $0.52. Revenues increased 76.2% y/y to $519.5 million vs. consensus $525.4 million. Co. preannounced Q4 results on Feb 11, 'profitable' GAAP Q4, revenue $510-520 mln, shipments 605620 MW. Total solar module shipments in 4Q13 were 621 MW, compared to 478 MW in 3Q13 and 404 MW in 4Q12. Solar module shipments in 4Q13 included 41 MW used in the Company's total solutions business, compared to 60 MW in 3Q13 and 16 MW in 4Q12. The y/y increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in revenue contribution from the Company's higher margin total solutions business, as well as higher module shipments and lower module manufacturing cost, which was partially off-set by a slight decline in module ASP. Gross margin in 4Q was 19.5%, compared to 20.4% in 3Q and 5.0% a year ago. Guidance for 1Q o Co issued downside guidance for Q1 with revenue of $415-430 million vs. consensus $545.80 million. The co expects Q1 module shipments to be in the range of ~470 MW to 490 MW. Gross margin is expected to be between 14% and 16%. o Management continues to see strong demand for the Company's products in 1Q, as the seasonality in Chinese market was more than compensated by the increase in demand from Japan and the U.S. However, longer shipping time to these markets will push some revenue to 2Q. o In addition, the production output from the Company's module factories in China was low during the CNY holiday period. o The Company's revenue and gross margin in 1Q are expected to be adversely affected by the severe winter conditions in North America, which delayed construction and recognition of ~$100.0 million in revenue from some of its utility-scale projects in Canada. The Company expects to recognize this revenue in the second and third quarter of 2014. o The expected gross margin in 1Q is adversely impacted by ~ 100bps due to the recently reported fire incident at the Company's cell plant in Suzhou. The Company expects to fully recover its losses from its property and business interruption insurance in later quarters. Guidance for 2014 o Co. issued in-line guidance for FY14 with revenue of $2.7-2.9 billion vs. consensus $2.77 billion. o For the full year 2014, the Company expects annual module shipments to be in the range of 2.5 GW to 2.7 GW, including 400 MW to 500 MW of project recognition. In addition, the Company expects to build and hold up to 250MW of project assets during 2014. o The Company expects that its net revenue for 2014 will be in the range of ~$2.7 billion to $2.9 billion, with ~50% of revenue being derived from its total solutions business. The Company's Canadian and U.S. project revenue recognition is expected to be back-end loaded in 2014 due to permitting and construction schedule as well as US GAAP accounting rules which, for most Canadian projects, only allow revenue recognition after commercial operation date (COD) and the transfer of ownership to end customers. YINGLI GREEN ENERGY PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR Q4; SEES SHIPMENTS AHEAD OF GUIDANCE http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20140304-903975.html The co estimates its PV module shipment in the fourth quarter of 2013 increased by 11% to 12% from the third quarter of 2013, which is better than its previous guidance of a mid-to-high single digit The Blueshirt Group - Energy & Environmental Technologies Practice The Weekly Watch 21

percent increase. The Company also reiterates its PV modules shipment guidance of 3.2GW to 3.3GW for fiscal year 2013. Additionally, the Company estimates its overall gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2013 to be in the range of 12% to 13%, compared with its previous guidance of 14% to 16%, primarily due to the yearend tax adjustment as a result of the implementation of the revised VAT exemption, offset, and refund policy, together with the disposal of low efficiency PV cell inventory. Excluding the year-end tax adjustment and disposal of PV cell inventory, gross margin for sale of PV modules is expected to be in the range of 14% to 15% in the fourth quarter of 2013.
