Management Remarks

Mr. Xiang Xu, CEO of Daqo New Energy, commented, "With the recovery of market prices across the solar PV value chain in the third quarter of 2025, we believe the industry is gradually recovering from its cyclical downturn. In particular, the polysilicon sector reached an inflection point during the quarter, with prices rebounding significantly. As a result, we are pleased to report that for the third quarter, Daqo New Energy recorded positive EBITDA of $45.8 million, as well as adjusted net income of $3.7 million. Moreover, our strong balance sheet was further reinforced. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash balance of $552 million, short-term investments of $431 million, bank notes receivables balance of $157 million, and total fixed term bank deposit balance of $1.1 billion. In total, our bank deposit and financial investment assets, readily convertible into cash if needed, stood at $2.21 billion, representing an increase of $148 million compared to the end of the second quarter. Our solid financial foundation provides us with confidence and strategic flexibility to navigate the ongoing market recovery and capture long-term opportunities."

"Operationally, the Company implemented proactive measures to counteract the continued market oversupply, maintaining a nameplate capacity utilization rate of 40%. Total polysilicon production for the quarter was 30,650 MT, slightly above our guidance range of 27,000 to 30,000 MT. We also capitalized on favorable pricing conditions to sell not only our current quarter's output but also a significant portion of our existing inventory, leading to a sharp rise in our sales volume to 42,406 MT from 18,126 MT in the previous quarter. The strong increase in sales volume reflects both our customers' confidence in Daqo's product quality and their continued preference for our products in the new pricing environment. As a result, our sales volume far exceeded production, bringing our inventory down to a healthy level."

"On another positive note, production cost declined significantly during the third quarter, extending our ongoing cost reduction trend. Total production cost declined by 12% to $6.38/kg in Q3 2025 from $7.26/kg in Q2 2025. Total idle facility related cost, primarily non-cash depreciation expenses, also fell to $1.18 in Q3 from $1.38 in Q2, driven by higher production levels. In particular, our cash cost decreased by 11% from $5.12/kg in Q2 to $4.54/kg in Q3, the lowest in the Company's history. Cash cost includes approximately $0.16/kg of idle facility maintenance related cost."

"In light of the current market conditions, we expect our total polysilicon production volume in the fourth quarter of 2025 to be approximately 39,500 MT to 42,500 MT. As a result, we anticipate our full year 2025 production volume to be in the range of 121,000 MT to 124,000 MT."

"At the industry level, according to industry statistics, monthly supply of polysilicon in Q3 remained in the range of approximately 100,000 MT to 130,000 MT. On September 24, President Xi announced China's new 2035 environmental targets at the United Nations Climate Summit. These targets include increasing the share of non-fossil fuels in total energy consumption to over 30 percent, and expanding the installed capacity of wind and solar power to over six times the 2020 level, aiming to reach a cumulative capacity to 3,600GW by 2035. The official announcement reaffirmed China's ambitious strategy to transition toward a low-carbon energy structure, with solar PV playing a pivotal role in the process."

"Entering the third quarter, China's "anti-involution" initiative to restrict low-price competition in the polysilicon sector continued to impact the industry. Market expectations of consolidation and tighter supply have improved overall industry fundamentals. In particular, on August 19, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Central Ministry of Social Work, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Council's State-owned Assets Administration Commission, the General Administration of Market Supervision, and the National Energy Administration jointly held a symposium on the photovoltaic industry. The meeting emphasized the need to strengthen industrial regulation, curb disorderly low-price competition, standardize product quality, and promote industry self-discipline. On September 16, the Standardization Administration of China released a draft of a new mandatory national standard setting energy consumption limits per unit of polysilicon production. Once implemented, polysilicon manufacturers with unit energy consumption higher than 6.4kgce/kg must implement corrective improvements within a specified period. Those failing to comply or meet the entry threshold (5.5kgce/kg) after rectification will be ordered to cease operations. According to China's Silicon Industry Association, China's effective capacity of polysilicon production is expected to decline to 2.4million MT/year, a decrease of 16.4% from the end of 2024 and of 31.4% from total installed production capacity. We expect that the implementation of this new energy consumption standard will substantially ease the issue of industry overcapacity. As a result of these more forceful measures, polysilicon price rose sharply to RMB 45-49/kg in July from RMB 32-35/kg in June and further climbed to RMB49-55/kg at the end of the quarter."

"The solar PV industry continues to demonstrate strong long-term growth prospects. In the medium term, we believe that a combination of industry self-discipline and government anti-involution regulations will help foster a healthier and more sustainable industry. In the long run, as one of the most cost-effective and sustainable energy sources globally, solar power is expected to remain a key driver of the global energy transition and sustainable development. Looking ahead, Daqo New Energy is well positioned to capture the long-term growth in the global solar PV market and further strengthen its competitive edge by enhancing its higher-efficiency N-type technology and optimizing its cost structure through digital transformation and AI adoption. As one of the world's lowest-cost producers of the highest-quality N-type product, and with a strong balance sheet and no bank loan, we are confident in our ability to capitalize on the market recovery and emerge as an industry leader, well-positioned to seize future growth opportunities."

Outlook and guidance

The Company expects to produce approximately 39,500 MT to 42,500 MT of polysilicon during the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company expects to produce approximately 121,000 MT to 124,000 of polysilicon for the full year of 2025, 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.

For the nine months ended September, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $32.0 thousand, compared to $48.5 million in the same period of 2024.

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.
