Management Remarks

Mr. Xiang Xu,CEO of Daqo New Energy,commented,"The solar industry experienced significant challenges during the second quarter,as market prices fell across the solar value chain to below production costs for nearly the entire industry. As end-of-quarter polysilicon ASP fell below our production cost,we were required in accordance with accounting rules to record a non-cash inventory impairment expense of $108 million because our inventory market value fell below book value. This had a significant negative impact on our cost of revenue,gross loss,operating loss and net loss. Nevertheless,we continued to maintain a strong balance sheet free of financial debt. By the end of the quarter,we had a cash balance of $997 million and a combined cash and bank note receivable balance of $1.1 billion. To take advantage of higher interest rates compared to bank savings,we purchased $1.4 billion of short-term investments and fixed term deposits during the quarter. Inclusive of short-term investments and fixed term deposit,we had adequate liquidity with a balance of quick assets of $2.5 billion."

"On the operational front,during the second quarter,we started initial production at our 100,000 MT Phase 5B polysilicon project in Inner Mongolia as planned,which contributed approximately 12% of our total production volume. Overall,the total production volume of our two polysilicon facilities for the quarter was 64,961 MT,exceeding our expectations and representing an increase of 2,683 MT compared to our production volume for the previous quarter. Through continued investments in R&D and dedication to purity improvements at both facilities,our overall N-type product mix reached 73% during the quarter. Remarkably,even our Phase 5B,which was still in the ramping up stage,had 70% N-type in the product mix,strengthening our confidence in achieving 100% N-type by the end of next year. In addition,our production cost trended down further in the second quarter,decreasing by 3% from Q1 2024 to an average of $6.19/kg."

"In light of the current market conditions and pricing,we have adjusted our target production utilization rate for the third quarter and our production plan for the full year. We expect our Q3 2024 total polysilicon production volume to be approximately 43,000 MT to 46,000 MT,as we started maintenance and lowered our production utilization rate to support pricing and reduce our cash burn. As a result,we anticipate our full year 2024 production volume to be in the range of 210,000 MT to 220,000 MT."

"During the second quarter,solar market sentiment was depressed and customers showed little interest in purchasing products. As a result,polysilicon prices kept setting new lows,below production costs and even below cash costs. Polysilicon prices plummeted from slightly above RMB60/kg on average in early April to RMB40-55/kg in late April,and further dropped below RMB40/kg near the end of May through the end of June. Overall,sales pressure intensified as industry-wide polysilicon inventory increased from approximately 18-20 days of production in early April to more than a month of production by the end of June. With prices declining for weeks to below the industry's cash cost and inventory accumulating,we began to see maintenances and production cuts across the industry. Based on industry statistics,the total polysilicon production volume in China dropped about 16% from approximately 192,000 MT per month in April to approximately 162,000 MT in June. However,the supply of polysilicon still exceeded the wafer customer demand,which has dropped to around 50GW in June due to lower utilization rate. Although there were further industry polysilicon production cuts in July,an uptick in demand from downstream manufacturers will be needed to drive inventory reduction and price recovery. The solar industry has gone through multiple cycles in the past,and based on our previous experience,we believe the current low prices and market downturn will eventually result in a healthier market,as poor profitability,losses,and cash burn will lead to many industry players exiting the business,with some possible bankruptcies. This will bring the inevitable capacity rationalization,eventually solve the current overcapacity,and ultimately bring the solar PV industry back to normal profitability and better margins."

"This year will be challenging for China's solar PV industry,as solar manufacturers along the value chain experience weak margins driven by oversupply,excessive inventory,and lower prices. At this point,we may have reached a cyclical bottom but do not yet see clear signs of potential improvement. We believe that the current situation of selling below cash cost is unsustainable and that many solar firms are facing significant cash flow challenges leading to delays in loan repayment and order deliveries. Therefore,we are likely to see market consolidation with higher-cost manufacturers gradually phasing out capacity and exiting the business. Recently,the China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA) has urged central and local governments,financial institutions and companies to coordinate to accelerate industry consolidation. Chinese policymakers are also calling for the healthy expansion of the solar industry. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) issued a draft in early July that sets rules for solar projects,such as meeting specific electricity consumption requirements and minimum capital ratio for new and expansion projects,to ensure the high-quality development of the solar PV industry and eliminate outdated capacity. On the demand side,we continued to see strong growth in new solar PV installations in China during the first half of 2024,which reached 102.48GW,representing a 30.7% year-over-year growth rate. Overall,in the long-run,solar PV is expected to be one of the most competitive forms of power generation in China,and the continuous cost reductions in solar PV products and the associated reductions in solar energy generation costs are expected to create substantial additional demand for solar PV. We are optimistic that we will capture the long-term benefits of the growing global solar PV market and maintain our competitive advantage by enhancing our higher-efficiency N-type technology and optimizing our cost structure through digital transformation and AI adoption. As one of the world's lowest-cost producers with the highest quality N-type product,a strong balance sheet and no financial debt,we believe we are well positioned to weather the current market downturn and emerge as one of the leaders in the industry to capture future growth."

Outlook and guidance

In light of the current market condition and pricing,the Company has adjusted its target production utilization rate for the third quarter and production plan for the full year. The Company expects to produce approximately 43,000 MT of polysilicon during the third quarter of 2024. The Company expects to produce approximately 210,000 MT of polysilicon for the full year of 2024,inclusive of the impact of the Company's annual facility maintenance.

This outlook reflects Daqo New Energy's current and preliminary view as of the date of this press release and may be subject to changes. The Company's ability to achieve these projections is subject to risks and uncertainties. See "Safe Harbor Statement" at the end of this press release.

Second Quarter 2024 Results

Revenues

Revenues were $219.9 million,compared to $415.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $636.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in revenues compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in the ASP as well as sales volume.

Gross (loss)/profit and margin

Gross loss was $159.2 million,compared to gross profit of $72.1 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $258.9 million in the second quarter of 2023.

For the second quarter,the company recorded $108 million in inventory impairment expenses,as the Company's inventory's market value falls below book value. The decrease in gross margin compared to the first quarter of 2024 was also due to lower ASP,which was partially mitigated by lower production cost.

Selling,general and administrative expenses

Selling,general and administrative expenses were $37.5 million,compared to $38.4 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $43.3 million in the second quarter of 2023.

For the six months ended June 30,net cash used in financing activities was $43.0 million,compared to $477.5 million in the same period of 2023. The net cash used in financing activities in the second quarter of 2024 was primarily related to dividend payment and share repurchases by a subsidiary of the Company.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Daqo New Energy's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("US GAAP"),the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures that are adjusted for certain items from the most directly comparable GAAP measures,including earnings before interest,taxes,depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and EBITDA margin,adjusted net income attributable to Daqo New Energy Corp. shareholders,and adjusted earnings per basic and diluted ADS. Our management believes that each of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors,enabling them to better assess changes in key element of the Company's results of operations across different reporting periods on a consistent basis,independent of certain items as described below. Thus,our management believes that,used in conjunction with US GAAP financial measures,these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with meaningful supplemental information to assess the Company's operating results in a manner that is focused on its ongoing,core operating performance.Our management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to assess the business,its financial performance,current and historical results,as well as for strategic decision-making and forecasting future results. Given our management's use of these non-GAAP measures,the Company believes these measures are important to investors in understanding the Company's operating results as seen through the eyes of our management. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with US GAAP or intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP; the non-GAAP measures should be reviewed together with the US GAAP measures,and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

The Company uses EBITDA,which represents earnings before interest,depreciation and amortization,and EBITDA margin,which represents the proportion of EBITDA in revenues. Adjusted net income attributable to Daqo New Energy Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per basic and diluted ADS exclude costs related to share-based compensation. Share-based compensation is a non-cash expense that varies from period to period. As a result,our management excludes this item from our internal operating forecasts and models. Our management believes that this adjustment for share-based compensation provides investors with a basis to measure the Company's core performance,including compared with the performance of other companies,without the period-to-period variability created by share-based compensation.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to comparable US GAAP measures is presented later in this document.
