Crocker-Colson: It is now my pleasure to turn the conference over to Crocker-Colson, investor relations for Toyo. Please go ahead. Thank you operator. Hello everyone. Thank you for joining us to review Toyo's 2024 First Half Results. This morning, Toyo posted both the earnings release and related investor presentation to its website, which you can find at investors.toyo-solar.com.

Yun-Shi Ryu: Commencing production.

Raymond Chung: While we work through this period, we are focused on adjusting cost structures, optimizing, production capacity, and aligning customer focus and proportion to ensure positive cash flows.

Yun-Shi Ryu: And the profit, continue to expand in the first six months of 2024.

Raymond Chung: To mitigate the risk from government policy uncertainty, we are accelerating our preexisting, plan to establish a reliable PV supply chain in the U.S. We aim to expedite the establishment of a two-gigawatt PV module facility in the U.S, by integrating our effort with local R&D and supply chains.

Operator: And this concludes today's conference. We thank you for your participation. You may disconnect at any time.

Operator: And this concludes today's conference.

Speaker Change: And this concludes today's conference. We thank you for your participation you may disconnect at any time.

Yun-Shi Ryu: Despite the, Enfant.

Operator: And this concludes today's conference.

Raymond Chung: In the long run, we plan to build a made-in-the-U.S. solar product supply chain with inherent economic, competitiveness rather than relying solely on subsidies.

Yun-Shi Ryu: Unfortunately, China's U.S. tariffs have disrupted market conditions.

Raymond Chung: In the coming month, we plan to announce the groundbreaking of our two-gigawatt solar module, factory, followed by another two-gigawatt solar cell factory in the coming quarter.

Operator: We thank you for your participation.

Yun-Shi Ryu: We are confident, that we have the right team and the strength to serve the Guilin, Close U.S. solar market.

Raymond Chung: Our solar module and cell facilities are expected to continue the business foundation established, by our affiliate, Visa, that has been serving prestigious U.S. clients for years.

Yun-Shi Ryu: I will now turn this server over.

Raymond Chung: The initial 2GW factory will be leased, and we are finalizing commercial terms with the, local government and owners. We currently estimate that the cost of outfitting the facility and initial working capital requirements, for the module facility will be $100 million. We expect to be able to commence production in the middle of next year, 2025.

Operator: You may disconnect at any time.

Operator: Please go ahead.

Yun-Shi Ryu: You are, a chief financial officer.

Raymond Chung: We aim to make further announcements as soon as we have finalized negotiations with the, site owner and local and state governments.

Raymond Chung: 레몬 초, Thank you, Yoosa.

Raymond Chung: On the research and development front, we are actively negotiating cooperation opportunities, with major owners of N-Popcorn cell patent.

Raymond Chung: Good morning, everyone.

Crocker-Colson: Thank you operator.

Raymond Chung: Globally renowned industry science leads our R&D team, and we intend to establish a technology, research center in the U.S. Now in terms of our financials, in the first six months of this year, we have delivered, 985 megawatts of solar cells, up from 327 megawatts last year since the trial production in August 2023. In terms of revenue, we generated $138.1 million in the first half of this year, compared, to zero revenue in the first half of last year.

Raymond Chung: I will review our first half operational update and the financial highlights before taking any, So on Toyo's updates, as Lucia mentioned, we are extremely pleased with the operational achievements of Toyo's team during our first nine months of manufacturing and with the potential shown by our six-month results for this year. We are confident that the underlying end-to-end technology and production quality are at high level, and the terrific feedback from our customers has validated this.

Hum.

Raymond Chung: Our cost of revenue in the first half was $111.4 million, in line with revenue growth, and total operating expenses increased to $4.2 million for the first six months of 2024, from $1.8 million for the same period of the last year, mainly due to the ramping up of production.

Raymond Chung: We believe we have the right approach and the right team to meet the needs of the utility scale market in USA.

Crocker-Colson: Hello everyone.

Raymond Chung: Net income was $19.6 million for the first six months of this year, compared to a net, loss of $1.9 million in the first half of last year.

Speaker Change: [music].

Raymond Chung: Despite the market uncertainties, we believe solar will supply a large portion of the growing energy demand in the U.S. and that Toyota can deliver the product the market demands. Our product efficiency has also improved significantly. A-grade yield has risen from around 85 percent last year to current 95 percent. The finished product efficiency has increased to over 26.4% in June this year. Additionally, our unit cost has decreased from $0.158 per watt last year to $0.1156 per watt in this year, first half of this year.

Crocker-Colson: Thank you for joining us to review Toyo's 2024 First Half Results.

Raymond Chung: Turning to our balance sheet, we had $44.4 million in cash and restricted cash in total, as of June 30th, this year, 2024. Due to the potential impact of the U.S. imposing ADCVD duties, we and our significant clients, have decided to reduce shipment volumes until the preliminary investigation results are announced in between September to November 2024.

Raymond Chung: So, in February this year, Toyo, we signed a global cooperation agreement with OCI Company Limited, a major Korean silicon material supplier, to offer our customers trustworthy and verifiable PV products.

Raymond Chung: As a result, we expect to deliver over 1.9 gigawatt in orders during the full year 2024.

Raymond Chung: Manufacturing products using non-Chinese silicon materials results in a cost increase of approximately 50% compared to Chinese silicon products.

Raymond Chung: We plan to provide more detailed guidance as the impact of the trade investigation becomes, clearer.

Raymond Chung: However, due to supply chain compliance and transparency.

Raymond Chung: In the long run, our technological and operational strategy aims to achieve an economic balance, in which renewable energy prices from solar, including battery storage, are cost-competitive with conventional energy prices.

Raymond Chung: These products have gained recognition from our customers.

Raymond Chung: With that, we'll be happy to address your questions.

Crocker-Colson: This morning, Toyo posted both the earnings release and related investor presentation to its website, which you can find at investors.toyo-solar.com.

Raymond Chung: Moving into the second half of this year, we see challenges ahead as the U.S. Department of Commerce will decide if it has the ground to initiate anti-dumping and countervailing duties. ADCVD on solar products coming from Southeast Asia, namely Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Vietnam, before the end of this year.

Raymond Chung: Thank you.

Raymond Chung: The U.S. government's decision to suspend the tariff exemption for the bifacial solar products and initiate the investigation followed extensive robbing by companies with a U.S. manufacturing base who claimed that Chinese solar manufacturers were using Southeast Asian assembly plants to evade tariffs on Chinese solar products.

Manufacturing products using non-Chinese silicon materials results in a cost increase of approximately 50% compared to Chinese silicon products. However, due to supply chain compliance and transparency, these products have gained recognition from our customers.
