REC Silicon - Second Quarter 2025 Results

22 Aug 2025 06:30 CEST

Oslo, Norway - August 22, 2025: REC Silicon ASA (REC Silicon or the Company)
reported second quarter 2025 revenues from continuing operations of USD 19.9
million compared to USD 21.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Company
also reported EBITDA from continuing operations of USD 4.9 million compared to
an EBITDA loss of USD 4.6 million in the prior quarter. The increase in
overall EBITDA is attributed to a gain of USD 13.1 million from modifications
to lease agreements.

EBITDA from the Butte segment was a loss of USD 0.3 million for the second
quarter of 2025 compared to USD 1.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. The
decreased EBITDA was primarily due to a planned maintenance outage that
occurred during the second quarter of 2025 and lower sales revenue. Silicon
gas sales volumes for the second quarter totaled 570 MT compared to 560 MT
during the first quarter of 2025. The target for the second quarter of 2025
was 580 MT.

REC Silicon reported cash balances of USD 8.3 million on June 30, 2025,
compared to USD 16.8 million on March 31, 2025. As previously announced during
the quarter, the Company received an additional USD 10 million loan from
Hanwha Global Americas, an affiliate of the Company's largest shareholders.

"The Company's financial challenges continue due to lower-than-expected sales
and pressure from operating expenses and interest payments. Negative impacts
have also been felt from existing tariffs, channel inventories, project
delays, and demand uncertainty from key markets and customers. These external
factors are expected to continue to negatively impact revenues and cash flow.
The Company's focus will continue to be on the fundamentals of selling more,
stabilizing production operations and continuing to seek cost reduction
opportunities, however, the need for additional capital is expected," said
Kurt Levens, CEO of REC Silicon.
