Notes:
(1) The Company's polysilicon external sales volume excludes internal sales to Daqo New Energy's Chongqing wafer manufacturing subsidiary, which utilizes polysilicon as raw material for the production of solar wafers. The sales volume is the quantity of goods that have been received by external customers, and thus the corresponding revenue has been recognized during the period indicated.
(2) Production cost and cash cost only refer to production in our Xinjiang polysilicon facilities. Production cost is calculated by the inventoriable costs relating to production of polysilicon in Xinjiang divided by the production volume in the period indicted. Cash cost is calculated by the inventoriable costs relating to production of polysilicon excluding depreciation expense in Xinjiang, divided by the production volume in the period indicated.
(3) Daqo New Energy provides non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted net income attributable to Daqo New Energy Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per ADS on a non-GAAP basis to provide supplemental information regarding its financial performance. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section captioned "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the tables captioned "Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to comparable US GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this press release.
Management Remarks
"We remain confident in the long-term sustainable growth of the polysilicon industry despite the impact by the new solar PV policies issued by the Chinese government on May 31, 2018," commented Mr. Longgen Zhang, CEO of Daqo New Energy. "The new solar policies caused uncertainty in the domestic solar market and impacted downstream demand in June. Leveraging our strong cash position and efficient corporate management, we maintained full production capacity and resumed shipments when customer demand and pricing stabilized in early July. With our production facilities now running at full capacity and inventory at low levels, we are reiterating our full year polysilicon production guidance of 22,000 to 23,000 MT."
"Utilization levels and demand from our downstream customers improved in July. According to the China Silicon Association, approximately 30-35% of China's domestic polysilicon production capacity has been shut down as those producers are unable to survive at the current market prices. With supply becoming increasingly limited and demand gradually recovering, polysilicon ASPs began to improve during July."
"Despite the challenging market environment in China, demand for solar PV products remains healthy and robust for the rest of the world. New emerging markets in Latin America and the Middle East are booming with growing demand. India in particular is expected to grow rapidly. With grid parity approaching in many markets, such as Europe and the US, project developers are more aggressive in their bids. With solar PV markets outside of China accounting for an increasing percentage of our downstream customer's shipments, we are confident in the long-term sustainable growth of the polysilicon industry and our ability to benefit from this growth by increasing our production capacity and improving our cost structure and polysilicon purity."
"I am pleased with our performance in this quarter and our ability to remain flexible and rapidly adapt our business to a challenging market environment. EBITDA during the quarter was $31.0 million and we generated $67.1 million in cash flow from operations during the first half of 2018. We are one of the very few polysilicon producers able to continuously generate positive EBIT, net income, and operation cash flow in this challenging market environment. In addition, we expect to complete our Phase 3B expansion project and start pilot production in the fourth quarter of 2018, which will increase our annual capacity to 30,000 MT and further reduce our polysilicon production cost by approximately $1 per kilogram across our entire production facility. We believe that demand for our high-quality polysilicon products will continue to grow over the long-term as solar PV is becoming increasingly cost competitive and less dependent on government policies and subsidies. Our strong balance sheet, sufficient operating cash flow and newly added capacity coming online will help us to further solidify our position as the polysilicon manufacturing leader."
Other Corporate Developments
In April 2018, the Company issued 2,064,379 ADSs, representing 51,609,475 ordinary shares, through a follow-on offering, at $55.00 per ADS. The proceeds, net of underwriting commission and issuance cost, were $106.6 million.
In May 2018, Xinjiang Daqo New Energy, one of the Company's subsidiaries, voluntarily delisted from the China New Third Board for better use of our resources and to save unnecessary listing costs, because the effectiveness and efficiency of financing activities on the China New Third Board did not meet the Company's expectations.
Outlook and guidance
The Company will begin a scheduled maintenance shutdown for its Xinjiang polysilicon facility in September, which is expected to impact polysilicon production by approximately 2 to 3 weeks based on current maintenance plans. During this period, in additional to the scheduled annual maintenance work, the Company will also connect the newly constructed phase 3B facility to its existing facilities, upgrade technology across all of its facilities and install various manufacturing efficiency projects. As such, the Company expects to produce approximately 4,100 MT to 4,300 MT of polysilicon and sell approximately 5,900 MT to 6,100 MT of polysilicon to external customers during the third quarter of 2018. The above external sales guidance excludes shipments of polysilicon to be used internally by the Company's Chongqing solar wafer facility, which utilizes polysilicon for its wafer manufacturing operation. Wafer sales volume is expected to be approximately 7.0 million to 8.0 million pieces for the third quarter of 2018. For the full year 2018, the Company expects to produce approximately 22,000 to 23,000 MT of polysilicon, inclusive of the impact of our 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 change. 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 2018 Results
Revenues
Revenues were $67.0 million, compared to $103.3 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $76.0 million in the second quarter of 2017.
Revenues from polysilicon sales to external customers were $63.0 million, compared to $95.6 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $61.1 million in the second quarter of 2017. External polysilicon sales volume was 3,881 MT, compared to 5,411 MT in the first quarter of 2018, and 4,497 MT in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in revenues from polysilicon was primarily due to lower polysilicon sales volumes and lower ASPs. The Chinese government issued new solar PV policies on May 31, 2018, which are expected to reduce solar installation quotas and feed-in tariffs in China during the second half of 2018. This created uncertainty in the domestic solar market and negatively impacted downstream demand.
Revenues from wafer sales were $4.0 million, compared to $7.6 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2017. Wafer sales volume was 9.8 million pieces, compared to 13.3 million pieces in the first quarter of 2018 and 27.0 million pieces in the second quarter of 2017. The sequential decrease in revenues from wafer sales was primarily due to lower sales volumes and lower ASPs.
Gross profit and margin
Gross profit was approximately $27.2 million, compared to $46.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $24.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP gross profit, which excludes costs related to the non-operational polysilicon assets in Chongqing, was approximately $27.6 million, compared to $46.6 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $24.8 million in the second quarter of 2017.
Gross margin was 40.6%, compared to 44.8% in the first quarter of 2018 and 31.9% in the second quarter of 2017. The sequential decrease was primarily due to a decrease in ASPs which was partially offset by a decrease in average polysilicon production cost.
In the second quarter of 2018, total costs related to the non-operational Chongqing polysilicon assets including depreciation were $0.4 million, compared to $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. Excluding such costs, non-GAAP gross margin was approximately 41.2%, compared to 45.2% in the first quarter of 2018 and 32.6% in the second quarter of 2017.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $7.8 million, compared to $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to the increase of non-cash share-based compensation costs related to the Company's 2018 share incentive plan.
Research and development expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses were approximately $0.2 million, compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2017. Research and development expenses can vary from period to period and reflect R&D activities that took place during each period.
Other operating income
Other operating income was $1.9 million, compared to $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2017. Other operating income mainly consists of unrestricted cash incentives that the Company received from local government authorities, the amount of which varies from period to period.
Operating income and margin
As a result of the foregoing, operating income was $21.0 million, compared to $41.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. Operating margin was 31.4%, compared to 40.4% in the first quarter of 2017 and 26.6% in the second quarter of 2017.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $3.4 million, compared to $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2017.
EBITDA
EBITDA was $31.0 million, compared to $51.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $29.8 million in the second quarter of 2017. EBITDA margin was 46.3%, compared to 50.0% in the first quarter of 2018 and 39.2% in the second quarter of 2017.
Net income attributable to Daqo New Energy Corp. shareholders and earnings per ADS
As a result of the foregoing, net income attributable to Daqo New Energy Corp. shareholders was $13.4 million, compared to $31.6 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2017. Earnings per basic ADS were $1.06, compared to $2.91 in the first quarter of 2018 and $1.15 in the second quarter of 2017.
Financial Condition
As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $179.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, compared to $83.0 million as of March 31, 2018 and $49.8 million as of June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the accounts receivable balance was $0.3 million, compared to $2.0 million as of March 31, 2018 and $3.8 million as of June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the notes receivable balance was $19.3 million, compared to $49.7 million as of March 31, 2018 and $10.5 million as of June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, total borrowings were $195.7 million, of which $92.9 million were long-term borrowings, compared to total borrowings of $217.8 million, including $108.4 million long-term borrowings, as of March 31, 2018 and total borrowings of $219.3 million, including $123.1 million long-term borrowings, as of June 30, 2017.
In April 2018, the Company issued 2,064,379 ADSs, representing 51,609,475 ordinary shares, through a follow-on offering, at $55.00 per ADS. The proceeds, net of underwriting commission and issuance cost, were $106.6 million.
Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $67.1 million, compared to $73.6 million in the same period of 2017. The decrease was primarily due to an increase of inventory balance, as well as payment of tax expense.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $52.5 million, compared to $32.9 million in the same period of 2017. The net cash used in investing activities in the first half of 2018 and 2017 was primarily related to the capital expenditure on the Xinjiang polysilicon projects.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $93.2 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $23.4 million in the same period of 2017. The increase was primarily due to net proceeds from follow-on offering.
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 non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin; earnings before interest, taxes, Depreciation & Amortization ("EBITDA") and EBITDA margin; adjusted net income attributable to Daqo New Energy Corp. 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 expects 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 revenues. Adjusted net income attributable to Daqo New Energy Corp. 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 Daqo New Energy Corp. 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.
