Management Remarks
Mr. Longgen Zhang, CEO of Daqo New Energy, commented, "We are very excited to report an excellent quarter with record-high production volume and net profit in the company's history. The strong end market environment, supported by favorable global policies to address climate change and rapidly increasing use of green energy, resulted in stronger-than-expected downstream demand that continues to push up polysilicon market prices. Our third quarter polysilicon ASP was $27.55/kg, a significant sequential improvement of more than 30% from $20.81/kg in the second quarter. The end market demand continues to be strong even under today's high-price module environment, and this has further raised polysilicon market prices to the current level of $33-$35/kg. Our production cost increased 8.4% quarter-over-quarter primarily due to the increase in silicon powder's cost. Excluding this impact, our production cost actually decreased by approximately 1% quarter-over-quarter. The increasing silicon powder cost will continue to impact our cost structure in the fourth quarter. However, with the strong market demand, so far, we have been able to pass down the majority of such cost increase to our customers. Over the past three weeks, we have seen silicon powder prices stabilizing and we expect they will gradually normalize in the first half of next year as the energy and emission controls could be somewhat relaxed compared to the fourth quarter of this year and new supply of silicon powder will start to enter the market."
"During the first three quarters of 2021, we generated $653 million of cash flow from operations. We repaid all our bank loans in the third quarter and reduced our debt to asset ratio to 18.2%. At the end of the third quarter, we had $661 million in cash and cash equivalents, $414 million in short-term investments which are low risk financial products, and $353.3 million in bank notes receivable which will mature in the next three to six months. This total liquidity of $1.4 billion is a strong foundation to support our expansion projects and future plans to reward our investors. The construction of our Phase 4B capacity expansion project is going smoothly according to schedule. We expect to complete the construction by the end of 2021 and ramp up to full capacity by the end of the first quarter of 2022."
"In the third and fourth quarter of this year, we have observed some volatility in the global energy market. Prices of almost all energy sources are going up quickly and significantly, including the prices of natural gas, oil, and coal. In many regions in China, many companies are required to shut down production from time to time due to the shortage of electricity supply and carbon emissions control. Fortunately, the Chinese government quickly responded to the challenging situation by accelerating coal production and allowing electricity prices for industrial users to float according to market, resulting in rising electricity prices. We expect these measures will further stimulate the solar end market for electricity generation in the near term. With solar already at grid parity broadly, higher fossil fuels make solar projects more competitive. In addition, according to the newly released policies, the usage of renewable energy will not be counted towards the energy usage quota, which will further promote renewable energy in the future. This also explains why the demand from industrial users for solar distributed generation is strong even in the current high-price module environment. On the other hand, because of the strict energy quota and carbon emission control, the overall expansion pace of the polysilicon industry will inevitably slow down. For example, as we are now in the process of identifying the location for our next expansion project, the energy quota issue becomes more and more challenging. We will be committed to using more renewable energy in our next polysilicon project in order to secure the energy quota, which will allow us to gradually realize the idea of 'green poly' or 'solar for solar'."
"This October, at the United Nations Biodiversity Conference in Kunming, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that the first step had been taken towards the construction of a huge 400 GW wind and solar park. Construction on the first phase, comprising 100 gigawatts of wind and solar in deserts in China is already underway. The full 400 GW project would be half finished by 2025. The Chinese government has also released policies to promote energy storage systems especially for water reservoirs storage in the near term. With all these plans and policies in place, it's very clear that China has made a strong determination supported by initial and detailed plans to build a new national energy infrastructure in which renewable energy will play a critical role. The newly announced policies and evolving energy market environment illustrate a vast potential market for solar in China which is much larger than previously anticipated. Therefore, we are very optimistic about solar PV's demand in the future and expect the polysilicon sector will continue to be one of the most favorable sectors in the foreseeable future, as polysilicon availability will remain as the main constraint and determinant for the future size of the solar end market."
Outlook and guidance
The Company produced 62,970 MT of polysilicon and sold approximately 63,714 MT of polysilicon in the first three quarters of 2021, representing full utilization level of the company's production facilities. For the full year of 2021, the Company's guidance on annual polysilicon production volume is at the level of approximately 83,000 to 85,000 MT, 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.
Third Quarter 2021 Results
Revenues
Revenues were $585.8 million, compared to $441.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $125.5 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in revenues as compared to the second quarter of 2021 as well as the third quarter of 2020 was primarily due to higher ASPs and higher polysilicon sales volume.
Gross profit and margin
Gross profit was $435.2 million, compared to $303.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $45.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. Gross margin was 74.3%, compared to 68.7% in the second quarter of 2021 and 36.0% in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher ASPs offset by slightly higher production cost.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.4 million, compared to $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $9.2 million in the third quarter of 2020. SG&A expenses during the quarter included $2.0 million in non-cash share-based compensation costs related to the Company's share incentive plan, compared to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase as compared to the second quarter of 2021 as well as the third quarter of 2020 was primarily due to expenses related to the IPO of Xinjiang Daqo.
Research and development expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses were $1.9 million, compared to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2020. Research and development expenses can vary from period to period and reflect R&D activities that take place during the quarter.
Income from operations and operating margin

Cash Flows
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $653.1 million, compared to $71.1 million in the same period of 2020, the increase was primarily due to higher ASPs and higher polysilicon sales volume, as well as prepayment of long-term contracts from customers
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $855.8 million, compared to $80.3 million in the same period of 2020. The net cash used in investing activities in 2021 and 2020 was primarily related to the capital expenditures on the Company's polysilicon expansion projects.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $741.6 million, compared to $1.1 million in the same period of 2020. The net cash provided by financing activities in 2021 was primarily related to the net proceeds of $935.0 million contributed by Xinjiang Daqo' IPO in China.
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.
