REC Silicon - Third quarter 2020 results
Oslo, Norway – October 29, 2020: REC Silicon ASA (REC Silicon) reported third quarter 2020 revenues of USD 30.3 million versus USD 31.0 million in second quarter of 2020 and EBITDA of USD 17.9 million versus USD 2.9 million in the prior quarter. Third quarter EBITDA included a noncash adjustment of USD 16.0 million due to settlement of the property tax dispute announced on October 14, 2020.
REC Silicon reported a cash balance of USD 35.9 million on September 30, 2020 which is USD 4.3 million higher than June 30, 2020.
Silicon gas sales volumes for the third quarter were 746 MT compared to 831 MT during the prior quarter. Average silane gas prices increased by 3.4% compared to the second quarter of 2020.
Polysilicon sales volumes for the quarter were 401 MT and polysilicon inventories decreased by 163 MT.
Contingent liabilities faced by the Company have been reduced by USD 44.9 million during the third quarter due to the discontinuance of the tax examination by Norwegian Central Tax Office (USD 27.3 million tax and interest) and the settlement of the property dispute regarding property valuations from 2012 through 2015 with Grant County, Washington (USD 17.6 million net decrease in liabilities).
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, REC Silicon entered into business cooperation agreements to partner with Violet Power to develop a non-Chinese Solar PV value chain and to partner with Group 14 Technologies to develop a silicon anode battery materials production facility in Moses Lake.
On October 14, 2020, the REC Silicon raised approximately NOK 1 billion in gross proceeds through the Private Placement of 92,592,592 new shares, at a price per share of NOK 10.80. The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to fund expansion investments and activities at the Company’s facilities in Butte and Moses Lake as well as for general corporate purposes. Upon completion of the Private Placement, REC Silicon will have increased its liquidity and may enable the Company to prepare for the eventual restart of the Moses Lake plant.
“Once again, the Company has reported consistent financial results for the third quarter. Butte operations continue to display resilience despite challenges caused by Covid-19. I am pleased that the path to restart production at the Moses Lake plant has become clearer with the announcement of agreements signed with Violet Power and Group 14 Technologies. The successful private placement of equity completed on October 14, 2020 has provided the Company with financial security and flexibility and I am confident that we will be able to capitalize on these opportunities,” said Tore Torvund, CEO of REC Silicon.
For more information, please see the attached third quarter 2020 report and presentation.
The company will host conference call to present the results at 8:00am CET. Following the presentation, it will be opened for questions from the audience. The presentation will be in English.

De fleste selskaper på OSE har lav inntjening. Mange flere investorer har litt for mye penger hvilket skaper misforhold i der det finnes momentum så plasseres det for mye penger. Det blir turbulent på børsene grunnet oss som spekulerer i for lang tid i forveien.

Og det samme er ARC. De skriver følgende:
"Q3 pre-announced, Moses Lake is coming back
- Butte EBITDA of 7.3m – Cash balance of USD 35.9m
- Moses Lake to be restarted, funding secured
- Partnerships on Moses Lake for both Solar PV and battery technologies
- Bond has traded up, still at attractive levels
Butte EBITDA of USD 7.3m
The headline Q3 figures were already announced and there were limited surprises in the report. REC reported Q3 revenues of USD 30.3m and EBITDA of 17.9m, adjusted for non-cash effects EBITDA was USD 1.9m somewhat above our estimate of USD 1.0m. The standalone Butte EBITDA came in at 7.3m (-44% vs ARCe), down from USD 9.4m in Q2, primarily driven by lower silicon gas volumes sold (746 MT vs 831 MT in Q2). Reported net debt increased by USD 11.1m to USD 185.6m due to an increase in lease liabilities and the settlement of the property tax dispute in the US.
Moses Lake to be restarted, funding secured
Post the quarter-end, REC announced business cooperation agreements with Violet Power and Group 14 on the Moses Lake facility. The first is to establish a non-Chinese solar PV value chain and the latter to establish a cooperation regarding a silicon carbon anode production facility. REC estimates that a restart of Moses Lake will require investments of USD 60m, and raised NOK 1.0bn in equity in October to finance this restart.
Bond traded up on NOK 1.0bn equity raise
Post the equity raise, the bond reacted positively and traded up to 108’s. We argue that with a restart of Moses Lake, substantial larger equity cushion and overall decent performance from Butte during Covid-19, REC will look to refinance the 1st lien bond ahead of time. The company is in a much better shape now than when it issued the bond and we expect the bond to be refinanced in 2021 (callable from Apr-21). Thus, we deem the current spread to call in the mid-600s to be fair and an attractive return for a short dated bond.

Butte alene, med (Covid-19-lave) MUSD 30 i EBITDA siste 12 mnd. og forventet økning fremover + begrensede investeringer der som øker EBITDA ytterligere, forsvarer / overstiger dagens aksjekurs - hensyntatt / inkludert fradrag alle RECs netto forpliktelser og gjeld....😊

Selvfølgelig er de i Hundre :) Kina besitter så og si monopol på den nye Olja. Det sier seg selv at sånne monopoler ikke varer evig. Helt topp og høre at de jobber systematisk mot sin egen supply chain for fremtiden. Og Rec er i en glimrende posisjon for sterk vekst både i USA og Europa.
