Management Remarks
Mr. Xiang Xu, CEO of Daqo New Energy, commented,
"In the first quarter of 2026, market sentiment across the solar PV industry remained cautious amid seasonal softness and elevated
inventory levels. It was further exacerbated by rising module prices, driven by higher silver, aluminum, and glass costs, which led to
a market slowdown in China. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East also weighed on end-market demand in the region. Against this backdrop,
persistent industry overcapacity continued to exert downward pressure on polysilicon prices, resulting in quarterly operating and net
losses. Notwithstanding these headwinds, we continued to maintain a robust and healthy balance sheet with zero debt. As of March 31,
2026, we held a cash balance of $559.4 million, short-term investments of $288.3 million, bank notes receivables of $20.8 million, held-to-maturity
investments of $50.3 million, and a fixed term bank deposit balance of $1.1 billion. In total, these assets that can be converted into
cash stood at $2.0 billion, providing us with ample liquidity. This solid financial position gives us the confidence and strategic flexibility
to navigate the current market downturn.”
“On the operational front, we continued
to take proactive measures to navigate challenging market conditions and weak selling prices, with nameplate capacity utilization rate
operating at approximately 57%. Total production volume at our two polysilicon facilities was 43,402 MT for the quarter, exceeding our
guidance range of 35,000 MT to 40,000 MT. With market prices for polysilicon experiencing a notable decline to be below production costs
during the quarter, we adhered to the Chinese authorities’ self-regulation guidelines by declining to engage in below-cost sales.
We adopted a disciplined, wait-and-see approach pending further implementation of the national anti-involution policies we highlighted
last quarter. As a result, our sales volume dropped to 4,482 MT, while our average selling price increased 2.3% sequentially to $5.96/kg.
On the cost side, total production and cash costs increased marginally by 2% and 3%, respectively, on a sequential basis, primarily driven
by exchange rate movements. However, despite higher silicon metal costs, manufacturing costs in RMB terms actually declined slightly on
a sequential basis, reflecting our continued improvements in manufacturing efficiency.”
“In light of the current market dynamics,
we expect total polysilicon production volume in the second quarter of 2026 to be approximately 35,000 MT to 40,000 MT. For the full year
of 2026, we expect production volume to remain in the range of 140,000 MT to 170,000 MT.”
“With the solar market impacted by seasonality
surrounding the Chinese New Year holidays and the absence of concrete updates on capacity rationalization policies, polysilicon transactions
and shipment volumes remained low during the quarter. N-type polysilicon prices dropped from RMB 48-55/kg at the end of 2025 to RMB 35-37/kg
by the end of the first quarter. However, polysilicon prices heading into the second quarter are showing signs of bottoming out, with
weekly declines gradually easing. While producers awaited clear guidelines from authorities to tackle overcapacity, a weak demand outlook,
industry inventory build-up, and financial pressure forced several peers to adjust their production and pricing strategies toward a more
market-oriented approach. As a result, industry-level monthly polysilicon supply fell to approximately 93,000 MT during the quarter, representing
an industry average utilization rate of just 39%. Looking ahead, we expect government authorities to strengthen the anti-involution policies
necessary to address these industry-wide overcapacity issues. As an encouraging move, on April 17, the Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the National Energy Administration,
and other key national departments jointly held a symposium on regulating market competition within the solar PV sector, reinforcing the
urgent need to address irrational competition and curb destructive involution. Additionally, all relevant authorities are now required
to deploy concerted measures to strengthen industry governance and promote the high-quality development of the solar PV industry, including
in respect of capacity regulation, standards guidance, innovation-driven development, price law enforcement, quality supervision, mergers
and acquisitions, and intellectual property rights protection.”
"More broadly, the solar PV industry continues
to exhibit compelling long-term growth prospects. Growing vulnerabilities in global energy markets have sparked widespread concerns about
national energy security, in which the solar PV and renewable energy sectors can play a crucial role. As one of the world's lowest-cost
producers of the highest-quality N-type polysilicon, backed by a robust balance sheet and zero debt, we remain optimistic about the sector
and are well positioned to capitalize on the anticipated market recovery and long-term growth opportunities. We will continue to strengthen
our competitive edge through advancements in high-efficiency N-type technology and cost optimization via digital transformation and AI
adoption. As the world accelerates its transition to clean energy, we are confident in our ability to play a leading role in shaping that
future."
Outlook and guidance
The Company expects to produce approximately 35,000 MT to 40,000 MT
of polysilicon during the second quarter of 2026. The Company expects to produce approximately 140,000 MT to 170,000 MT of polysilicon
for the full year of 2026, 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.
First Quarter 2026 Results
Revenues
Revenues were $26.7 million, compared to $221.7 million in the fourth
quarter of 2025 and $123.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in revenues compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily
due to a decrease in sales volume, as the Company reduced sales in light of the relative low selling prices.
Gross (loss)/profit and margin
Gross loss was $139.4 million, compared to gross profit of $15.4 million
in the fourth quarter of 2025 and gross loss of $81.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. Gross margin was negative 521.5%, compared
to 7.0% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and negative 65.8% in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in gross margin compared to the fourth
quarter of 2025 was primarily due to an increase in provisions for inventory impairment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $12.2
million, compared to $18.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $35.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. The sequential decrease
was primarily due to lower sales volume in the first quarter of 2026. The year-over-year decrease was also because the Company recognized
$18.6 million in non-cash share-based compensation related to its share incentive plans in the first quarter of 2025.
Research and development expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses were $0.8 million, compared
to $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. R&D expenses can vary from period to
period and reflect R&D activities that take place during the quarter.
Loss from operations and operating margin

million as of December 31, 2025 and $62.7 million as of March 31, 2025. Notes receivable represents bank notes with maturity
within six months. As of March 31, 2026, held-to-maturity investment was $50.3 million, compared to nil as of December 31, 2025
and nil as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the balance of fixed term deposit within one year was $1.0 billion, compared
to $972.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2025.
Cash Flows
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating
activities was $147.5 million, compared to $38.9 million in the same period of 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in investing
activities was $275.8 million, compared to $211.0 million in the same period of 2025. The net cash used in investing activities in 2026
was primarily related to the purchase of short-term investments and fixed term deposits.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in financing
activities was $7.8 million, compared to nil in the same period of 2025. The net cash used in financing activities in 2026 was primarily
related to $7.8 million in stock repurchases made by the Company's subsidiary, Xinjiang Daqo, from its minority shareholders.
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, taxes, 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.
