Management Remarks

Mr.Longgen Zhang,CEO of Daqo New Energy,commented,"During the third quarter of 2020,we successfully completed the annual maintenance and several technology improvement projects at our polysilicon manufacturing facilities. We resumed full production in August with excellent operational results. For the third quarter,we produced 18,406 MT of polysilicon among which approximately 97.7% was mono-grade. We continued our relentless drive to lower production cost and reached a record-low cost in Renminbi terms. During the third quarter,we completed our digital transformation project,with a fully digitized manufacturing system that allows us to continuously improve our process control and analyze our manufacturing data so as to achieve better results in system stability,manufacturing efficiencies,production cost and product quality in future. As our facilities are now running with increased efficiency,we expect to achieve a higher production volume of approximately 19,500-20,500 MT in the fourth quarter,with a potential cost reduction by approximately 3% as compared to the third quarter."

"During the quarter,polysilicon ASPs increased rapidly due to the quick recovery in solar PV demand from both domestic and foreign markets. Our ASP was $9.13/kg,a significant improvement from approximately $7.04/kg in the second quarter. With robust market demand for mono-grade polysilicon,we expect our ASP to improve meaningfully in the fourth quarter as compared to the third quarter. In recent weeks,because of strong solar module and installation demand,we began to see solar glass capacity shortage becoming a bottleneck for the solar industry and limiting module production. We expect the shortage of solar glass to ease over the coming months as additional solar glass capacity comes online. The temporary constraint on the industry's utilization rate will be removed which eventually will increase demand for polysilicon."

"Solar is now becoming one of the most competitive sources of energy,even compared to traditional power generation methods. Globally,we are seeing strong momentum around the world in adopting and implementing renewable energy policies that would strongly benefit the solar end market. Last month,Mr. Xi Jinping,President of China,announced China's initiative to scale up the national contributions to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. We believe favorable policies benefiting solar will be implemented during the upcoming 14th five-year-plan,driving a substantial increase in solar installations in China. In addition,a growing number of countries and regions,including the most important economies in the world,have announced goals and plans to reduce carbon emission and widely adopt renewable energies. In particular,we are starting to see the trend of utility-scale solar generation combined with power storage providing base-load energy and replacing and displacing coal power plants. We believe this is the beginning of a long term trend of solar displacing traditional fossil-fuel based generation driven by both economics and renewable energy mandates. We are strongly committed to contributing our efforts as a raw material provider for mainstream solar PV modules and are fully confident we will benefit from this fast-growing market."

Outlook and guidance

The Company expects to produce approximately 19,500 to 20,500 MT of polysilicon and sell approximately 20,500 MT to 21,500 MT of polysilicon to external customers during the fourth quarter of 2020. For the full year of 2020,the Company expects to produce approximately 75,800 MT to 76,800 MT of polysilicon,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.

Revenues

Revenues were $125.5 million,compared to $133.5 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $83.9 million in the third quarter of 2019. The sequential decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower polysilicon sales volume despite higher ASP.

For the nine months ended September 30,net cash provided by financing activities was $1.1 million,compared to $76.6 million in the same period of 2019.

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,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 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,and the Company had removed this adjustment from the non-GAAP reconciling item since the fourth quarter of 2018,because as of the end of the third quarter of 2018,all of the polysilicon machinery and equipment had been either relocated to Xinjiang,disposed,or planned to be disposed of in due course. Adjusted net income attributable to Daqo New Energy Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per basic and diluted 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,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.
