On February 29, 2012, shares of First Solar declined $4.10 per share, to close at $32.30 per share, after the Company belatedly disclosed disappointing quarterly and year-end results, and after the Company reported charges of $164 million and a decrease of $345 million in quarterly net sales due, to the timing of revenue recognition.
