REC Silicon ASA - Solar Trade Dispute with China Forces Layoffs
Moses Lake, Washington - July 1, 2018: REC Silicon ASA (REC Silicon)
REC Silicon will execute a layoff affecting nearly 40% of its current workforce in Moses Lake, Washington on July 2, 2018. This layoff will impact approximately 100 employees across the company and is a direct result of the on-going solar trade dispute between China and the United States. Due to this on-going trade dispute, the company has not been able to access its critical market in China since 2014. This has caused successive reductions in REC Silicon’s operations in the United States.
REC Silicon has decided to reduce its production at Moses Lake to approximately 25% of total production capacity. This decision is in response to the solar trade dispute between China and the United States and reduced demand for solar grade polysilicon. The actions taken today will help maintain the company’s liquidity, its ability to meet financial obligations, and maintain REC Silicon’s capability to resume manufacturing operations when access to China’s polysilicon markets is restored.
REC Silicon’s management regrets today’s lay-off of our highly-skilled colleagues. We have done all we can to avoid today’s action, but we have no choice while the China market remains closed. It is a tremendous injustice that the hard-working Americans, who have made REC Silicon the polysilicon industry’s technology leader and one of the most competitive producers in the world are now losing their jobs. REC Silicon can out-compete its foreign rivals, and we can do it from our manufacturing locations here in the United States. We simply need fair access to the China market.
REC Silicon invested $1.7 Billion to construct a state of the art, cost leading solar grade polysilicon production facility in Moses Lake, Washington in 2010. At its peak in 2011, REC Silicon generated $1 Billion in annual revenues from its operations in the United States and provided approximately 900 high paying jobs. Approximately 95% of REC Silicon’s revenues are generated from sales in markets outside the United States. As a consequence of the on-going solar trade dispute with China, REC Silicon has executed successive layoffs to preserve its operations in the United States. After the layoff today, the company will continue to employ approximately 400 people at its facilities in Moses Lake, Washington and Butte, Montana. As a direct result of the solar trade dispute, REC Silicon’s workforce has declined by a total of 500 jobs since 2011. During the same period, the company’s revenues have declined by over 70% to $272 Million in 2017.
REC Silicon’s fluid bed reactor (FBR) production facility in Moses Lake, Washington produces the lowest unsubsidized cost solar polysilicon in the world. Because REC Silicon employs a highly cost competitive manufacturing technology, the company’s products are competitive without trade protection. President Trump and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer committed to pursue a resolution of the AD/CVD measures imposed by the Government of China on U.S. polysilicon. There has not been a resolution nor any re-opening of the China market to REC Silicon. It is now absolutely urgent that the U.S. Government takes steps to re-open the China market for U.S. polysilicon production to avoid further job losses, avoid the loss of U.S. technology leadership, to preserve this important part of the solar energy supply chain in the United States, to allow REC Silicon to re-start production, and most importantly allow us to re-hire our skilled and dedicated workers.
REC Silicon’s markets for semiconductor grade polysilicon and silicon gas products have not been impacted by the solar trade dispute. REC Silicon’s operations in Butte, Montana will continue to support these markets.
REC Silicon currently has approximately $42 Million in cash deposits and expects to report approximately $58 Million in revenues for the second quarter of 2018. Second quarter FBR production is expected to be 2,040 MT or 240 MT below the guidance on April 26, 2018. The results for the company’s semiconductor segment and silicon gas sales are expected to be near guidance. Current market conditions will negatively impact the company’s profitability and credit risk exposure. REC Silicon expects to recognize additional impairments to inventories, accounts receivable, and fixed assets in its second quarter earnings release on July 19, 2018.
REC Silicon will host a conference-call to answer questions from investors, analysts and other interested parties on 2 July at 8:00 am CET.

Fru Blom
Livsfarlig aksje nå, om nødvendig sitt på hendene (ikke kjøp)
En av de første aksjene jeg kjøpte og en av de lengste innvesteringene jeg har sittet med. Kom vel til slutt ut med break even i REC og har ikke rørt aksjen eller sett på selskapet siden 2013-2014.
Denne statistikken sier vel sitt:
Visst 90% av kundene sitter i Kina, som igjen er problem grunnet skatter og andre saker, hvorfor klarer ikke da Rec å evne det å komme inn i andre markeder ?
Er det Kina elle ledelsen i Rec som er problemet, satsingen har vertfall feilet

REC Silicon - Second quarter 2018 results
Fornebu, Norway - July 19, 2018: REC Silicon ASA (REC Silicon) reported second quarter 2018 revenues of USD 58.9 million, down from USD 69.6 million in the previous quarter. The corresponding EBITDA during the second quarter was a loss of USD 9.6 million compared to a positive USD 14.6 million in the previous quarter. Polysilicon sales volume for the quarter was 2,077 MT, a 28.5 percent decrease from the first quarter, while inventory increased by 401 MT.
REC Silicon reported a cash balance of USD 42.4 million on June 30, 2018. This represents a decrease of USD 69.6 million compared to March 31, 2018. The company refinanced its outstanding debt during the quarter with a net repayment of USD 59.5 million. Cash outflows from operations was USD 7.1 million for the quarter.
Silicon gas sales volumes for the second quarter were 918 MT, an increase of 2.4 percent compared to the first quarter. Prices were 2.1 percent higher than first quarter. Second quarter semiconductor polysilicon production was 267 MT, in line with guidance of 270 MT.
FBR capacity utilization was decreased to approximately 25 percent in early June resulting in cash costs of USD 13.4/kg, compared to USD 9.40/kg in the first quarter. FBR production was 2,078 MT, a 1,049MT decrease compared to the first quarter.
The Yulin JV plant continued to operate at reduced capacity utilization during the second quarter. The plant produced approximately 1,000 MT of granular polysilicon during the quarter. Year-to-date, the plant has produced a total of 1,800 MT compared to a target of 8,000 MT for 2018.
REC Silicon reported impairment charges of USD 340.4 million due to the market disruption from the curtailment of solar incentives in China, as well as continued trade barriers that prevent access to primary markets inside China. As previously announced on July 1, 2018, REC Silicon reduced its Moses Lake workforce by approximately 30 percent.
President and CEO, Tore Torvund, said, “Although our semiconductor and silane gas business in Butte remains strong, it is regrettable that we had to reduce our headcount by 85 highly-skilled employees. Despite having the most advanced polysilicon manufacturing technology; REC Silicon has no access to the largest market for polysilicon in China due to the 57 percent duty imposed by China. We need the United States and Chinese governments to cooperate in ending the solar trade dispute between the two countries to prevent additional job losses and to enhance the value of the solar industry in the United States and China.”
For more information, please see the attached second quarter 2018 report.
