Commentary
"During the third quarter of 2016, we successfully set new records again in terms of polysilicon production volume and costs. I would like to thank our entire team for their hard work and dedication. Our polysilicon production for the third quarter reached a record high of 3,636 MT, which surpassed our name plate capacity of 12,150 MT per annum. Through technical and process improvements, we also made significant progress in reducing our production cost even further, achieving our lowest ever cost structure with $8.66/kg in total cost and $6.88/kg in cash cost," said Dr. Gongda Yao, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
"In the third quarter of 2016, downstream solar end market and polysilicon market experienced significant volatility. Due to a slow-down in China end market demand and installation activities after China's FIT adjustment at the end of June 2016, the market saw lower levels of demand towards the end of the third quarter of 2016. Our third quarter ASP was $15.64/kg, compared to second quarter ASP of $17.24. As a result, several polysilicon manufacturers, both within China and abroad, partially shut down their capacities due to weak polysilicon pricing. The resulting reduction in polysilicon supply has helped to stabilize the market and paved the way for price recovery. Nevertheless, as a result of our continuous effort on technology improvements and cost reduction, our quarterly average production cost has been further reduced by 8% from $9.43/kg in the second quarter to $8.66/kg in the third quarter of 2016. "
"Due to a delay in the delivery of critical specialty components, the start date of annual maintenance for our Xinjiang polysilicon facility was postponed to October 3 from the second half of September as originally planned. We conducted more than 500 maintenance items, including special projects that are expected to improve our manufacturing efficiency even further. The maintenance was completed successfully, and we initiated a gradual restart of production on October 24. In early November, production resumed successfully and we reached full capacity utilization. Overall, we estimate that the annual maintenance has an impact of approximately 800 MT to 900 MT on our fourth quarter polysilicon production volume."
"In the third quarter of 2016, due to market volatility and declining conditions for the solar wafer segment, we reduced our wafer production utilization rate. As a result, the Company sold 14.4 million pieces of wafer in the third quarter, compared to 25.0 million pieces in the second quarter of 2016. With improving market conditions, the Company ramped up wafer production utilization starting from mid-October and reached full production in November."
"The solar market began to recover in early October, with strong customer demand and order momentum. Due to limited channel inventory, polysilicon pricing has recovered particularly well, with increases in orders from our broad based customers. Wafer pricing also recovered significantly. During early November, we also saw downstream product pricing recovering meaningfully, including pricing for solar cells and solar modules."
Outlook and Q4 2016 guidance
As a result of our annual maintenance, the Company expects to sell approximately 2,200 MT to 2,300 MT of polysilicon to external customers during the fourth quarter of 2016. The external sales guidance excludes shipments of polysilicon to be used internally by our Chongqing solar wafer facility, which utilizes polysilicon for its wafer manufacturing operation. Wafer sales volume is expected to be approximately 20 million to 21 million pieces for the fourth quarter of 2016.
This outlook reflects our current and preliminary view as of the date of this press release and may be subject to change. Our ability to achieve these projections is subject to risks and uncertainties. See "Safe Harbor Statement" at the end of this press release.
Third Quarter 2016 Results
Revenues
Revenues were $54.3 million, compared to $71.0 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $46.6 million in the third quarter of 2015.
Revenues from polysilicon sales to external customers were $44.4 million, compared to $50.5 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $34.1 million in the third quarter of 2015. External sales volume was 2,838 MT in the third quarter of 2016, compared to 2,931 MT in the second quarter of 2016. ASP of polysilicon was $15.64/kg in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $17.24/kg in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in polysilicon revenues from the second quarter of 2016 was primarily due to lower polysilicon ASP and lower external sales volume.
Revenues from wafer sales were $9.9 million, compared to $20.5 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2015. Wafer sales volume was 14.4 million pieces, compared to 25.0 million pieces in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in wafer revenues from the second quarter of 2016 was primarily due to lower wafer ASP and lower sales volume.
Gross profit and margin
Gross profit was $20.1 million, compared to $29.4 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP gross profit, which excludes costs related to the non-operational polysilicon operations in Chongqing, was approximately $21.6 million, compared to $31.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2015. Gross margin was 37.1%, compared to 41.4% in the second quarter of 2016 and 18.4% in the third quarter of 2015.
In the third quarter of 2016, total costs related to the non-operational Chongqing polysilicon plant including depreciation were $1.5 million, compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2015. Excluding such costs, the non-GAAP gross margin was approximately 39.9%, compared to 43.9% in the second quarter of 2016 and 23.4% in the third quarter of 2015.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.9 million, compared to $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the second quarter of 2016 was primarily due to higher relocation and moving expenses related to the company's relocation of its idle polysilicon manufacturing equipments from Chongqing to Xinjiang, which were $1.7 million during the third quarter of 2016, compared to $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2016, as well as higher non-cash shared-based compensation expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $70.9 million, compared to $65.6 million in the same period of 2015.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash used in investing activities was $51.0 million, compared to $82.7 million in the same period of 2015.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash used in financing activities was $12.3 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $38.1 million in the same period of 2015.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Daqo'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 non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and EBITDA margin; adjusted net income attributable to our shareholders and adjusted earnings per basic ADS. 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, 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. 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 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 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.
Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin includes adjustments for costs related to the non-operational polysilicon assets in Chongqing. Such costs mainly consist of non-cash depreciation costs, as well as utilities and maintenance costs associated with the temporarily idle polysilicon machinery and equipment, which will be or are in the process of being relocated to the Company's Xinjiang polysilicon manufacturing facility. The Company would expect a majority of these costs, such as depreciation, will continue to occur as part of the production cost at the Xinjiang facilities subsequent to the completion of the relocation plan. Once these assets are placed back in service, the Company will remove this adjustment from the non-GAAP reconciling item. The Company also uses EBITDA, which represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and EBITDA margin, which represents the proportion of EBITDA in revenue. Adjusted net income attributable to our shareholders and adjusted earnings per basic ADS exclude costs related to the non-operational polysilicon assets in Chongqing as described above. Adjusted net income attributable to our shareholders and adjusted earnings per basic ADS also exclude costs related to share-based compensation. Share-based compensation is a non-cash expense that varies from period to period. As a result, management excludes this item from its internal operating forecasts and models. 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.
