LETTER FROM THE CEO
The year 2025 was both eventful and challenging from many different facets that affect our business.
The Company made a difficult decision to implement the shutdown of the Moses Lake facility, which was announced at the end of 2024 due to persistent quality issues and uncertain resolution paths that plagued the Moses Lake polysilicon product. However, the silane facilities were placed in a safe-shutdown condition so that a future restart would be possible if silane market conditions and high-volume demand opportunities were to materialize. Although the Company's Butte facility also faced market headwinds, the facility nevertheless successfully transitioned its operations to the production of silicon gases and positioned itself for stronger results when market conditions improve. Unfortunately, these challenges combined to necessitate a restructuring of the Company's workforce, which is now behind us.
During 2025, the Company also received continued support from affiliates of Hanwha, the Company's largest shareholder. Hanwha International LLC and Hanwha Global Americas Corporation, Hanwha's U.S. affiliates and Anchor AS, Hanwha's Norwegian affiliate supported the Company during its liquidity crisis by not only extending existing indebtedness but also providing the Company additional new capital for operations. Anchor AS also increased its ownership stake in the Company to approximately 60% through a voluntary offer followed by a mandatory offer to purchase all outstanding shares in the Company. The Company also announced, in early 2026, a rights issue fully underwritten by the largest shareholder.

The Company also experienced dissatisfaction among some minority shareholders as evidenced by the shareholders voting to approve a petition with the Norwegian court system for an investigation into the Company on two occasions in 2025. For a brief time after the 2025 AGM, a new board controlled by minority shareholders was leading the Company, although, a subsequent EGM convened by the largest shareholder changed the composition of the board.
Even though we were able to reduce costs during 2025, we continue to look for additional cost-saving opportunities as well as opportunities to dispose of unused assets and equipment. Moreover, the Company is focused on increasing revenues by growing sales into higher-margin markets. These initiatives have helped mitigate some of the near-term operating challenges, but they do not fully address the Company's short-term and medium-term liquidity needs. The reality is that the Company still faces meaningful mid- to long-term liquidity challenges, and addressing them will require continued discipline, operational improvements, revenue improvements and active engagement with
key stakeholders. We have made tangible progress in reducing fixed costs and stabilizing operations, but further work remains to strengthen our financial position. These combined activities must remain our first and most important priority, to make our company resilient and profitable in the face of continuing or future changes in market conditions.
We have been clear that we face significant current and future challenges; however, we also recognize potential opportunities ahead, provided we take the correct actions now and in the near future across all facets: operations, markets, and financial position. We must therefore focus on what we can control, continuing our initiatives centered on our strengths, enhanced cost efficiencies, and product differentiation to benefit the Company's near-term operational conditions, while we continue to monitor the progress and outcomes of future opportunities.

Strategy and business model
REC Silicon is transitioning to a pure-play silicon gas producer positioning the Company for future growth, following the shutdown of polysilicon production at both Butte and Moses Lake in 2024.
The aim is to optimize the utilization of available silane gas capacity and to focus on higher value offerings where the Company has clear strength, market positioning and product differentiation in growing markets.
REC Silicon is continuing to optimize the Butte operations for cost reduction to match the current, subdued levels of demand. The strategic focus is to preserve the existing positions within semiconductors and flat panel displays, to prepare for a recovery in the semiconductor and solar PV markets and to position the Company for the silicon anode markets in the long term.
In parallel, REC Silicon is working to secure financing to support ongoing operations and to meet debt service obligations. The aim is to secure a long-term viable financial platform for the Company.
Value chain
The key raw material for REC Silicon's silane gas production is 98 percent pure metallurgical grade silicon (MGS), primarily sourced from the US, Brazil, Australia, as well as Europe. MGS is mined from quartz, the second most prevalent material in the earth's crust.
REC Silicon uses patented and proprietary hydrogenation and distillation processes that remove the impurities to levels measured in parts per trillion. Other agents like natural gas, hydrogen and chemicals are supplied locally in the US, with some additional high-grade agents sourced from Asia.
REC Silicon sources from about 500 suppliers, of which the 50 largest make up around 85 percent of the total vendor volume. Materials make up more than half of the vendor volume, manufactured products about one quarter, while the rest is split between various types of services.
Nearly half of the vendor volume is sourced in the US, while the rest is split between Brazil, Europe, Australia and Asia.
Production processes require significant amounts of electricity, which is supplied locally based on pre-agreed volumes with public utilities.
Finished silane and specialty gases are distributed using a dedicated fleet of specialized transport containers, of which REC Silicon owns one of the largest fleets globally.

REC Silicon is a technology and manufacturing company specializing in silane-based, high-purity silicon materials used in the photovoltaic and electronics industries. The Company operates two manufacturing facilities in the United States: Moses Lake, Washington, which is currently in non-operating status, and Butte, Montana.
With manufacturing operations in the United States and sales support offices in both Asia and the United States, REC Silicon supplies global energy and technology companies worldwide and provides advanced silicon materials used in critical industrial and high-technology applications.
On December 30, 2024, REC Silicon announced the permanent shutdown of its granular polysilicon operations in Moses Lake. As a result, the granular polysilicon line met the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. Following completion of the facility cleanout process in early March 2025, ongoing costs associated with maintaining the Moses Lake site in a condition that would allow for a potential restart of silane production are reported within continuing operations.
The Company's core product is silane gas, which is used both as a stand-alone product and as a key intermediate material. Silane is utilized in semiconductor manufacturing, flat panel displays, solar panels, and emerging silicon-based anode battery technologies. It can also be further processed into solar- and electronic-grade polysilicon or refined into specialty gases for advanced semiconductor and solar applications.
Commercial polysilicon production capacity at the Butte facility was shut down in mid-2024. However, limited quantities of polysilicon continue to be produced in connection with silicon gas quality testing and process verification. Polysilicon generated from these activities is sold in the ordinary course of business and recognized as revenue, although volumes remain significantly lower than historical production levels.
Strategy and objectives
REC Silicon's strategy is to maintain its established positions in the semiconductor and flat panel display (FPD) markets, target key end users and advanced technology nodes, prepare for anticipated recovery in the semiconductor and photovoltaic (PV) markets in the short to medium term, and position the Company to capitalize on long-term opportunities in silicon-based anode materials within the broader silicon materials industry.
REC Silicon intends to improve its competitive position and:
- Maintaining adequate liquidity and preserving cash resources
- Developing alternative market opportunities to match REC Silicon's production capabilities
- Focusing on cost control - match activities and spending to production
- Managing inventories by adjusting production capacity utilization
- Focusing on continued quality improvements

Revenues
Revenue from continuing operations totaled USD 78.2 million during 2025, compared with USD 140.8 million during 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the exit from the polysilicon business in Butte, as well as lower sales volumes in the silicon gas business.
Earnings
EBITDA from continuing operations was a loss of USD 8.5 million during 2025, compared with a loss of USD 17.9 million during 2024. EBITDA during 2025 includes a net gain of USD 15.2 million recognized in Other income and expenses. This gain primarily relates to successful lease renegotiations in Moses Lake and a favorable adjustment to the asset retirement obligation, partially offset by vendor termination costs associated with the shutdown of granular production operations in Moses Lake.
The Company reported a loss from continuing operations of USD 60.3 million during 2025, compared with a loss of USD 104.2 million during 2024. Total net loss during 2025 was USD 63.1 million, compared with a net loss of USD 457.4 million during 2024.
Technology, research, and development
REC Silicon's long-term competitive position is driven by cost efficiency and product performance. The Company's research and technology development activities are focused on improving product quality, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing production costs to support customer value and competitiveness.
During 2025, research and development efforts were primarily focused on laboratory operations supporting the silicon gas business.
Cash expenditures for research and development were USD 0.9 million during 2025, compared with USD 3.0 million during 2024. Total research and development expenditures, including depreciation, were USD 1.2 million during 2025, compared with USD 3.4 million during 2024.

Markets
Overall demand for silane and related gases was subdued throughout 2025. Market conditions continued to be characterized by structural oversupply, sustained pricing pressure, and delays in customer capacity ramp-ups across several end markets. While semiconductor-related demand remained relatively resilient, continued softness in photovoltaic (PV), flat panel display (FPD), and silicon anode battery markets weighed on overall demand and limited volume recovery toward year-end.
Semiconductor
Demand for silane and advanced silicon gases remained relatively stable during 2025, supported by ongoing production in advanced logic and selected memory applications. Wafer input volumes continued to benefit from Al-related demand; however, customer ordering patterns remained cautious, resulting in limited incremental volume growth. Although construction of new fabrication facilities in several regions progressed, production ramp-ups continued to occur more slowly than originally anticipated.
Capital investment activity was concentrated in South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and North America. Increased domestic silane production capacity in China constrained export opportunities and contributed to continued pricing pressure in international markets.
Flat Panel Display (FPD)
Silane demand for display applications declined during 2025 as panel manufacturers adjusted production levels in response to persistent oversupply and weak end-market demand.
Utilization rates remained below historical levels, and pricing was pressured by low-cost supply from China. By year-end, market conditions showed limited signs of near-term recovery.
Photovoltaic (PV)
PV market conditions were challenging throughout 2025, characterized by global oversupply and sustained margin pressure across the value chain. Cell and module manufacturers, particularly in Southeast Asia and China, operated at reduced utilization rates. Project installations slowed across several regions as customers deferred procurement decisions amid weak module pricing, inventory adjustments, and policy-related uncertainty.
Silicon Anode Battery
The silicon anode battery market remained at an early stage of commercialization during 2025. Pilot-scale production activities continued in South Korea and the United States, while the transition to full commercial-scale production progressed more gradually than initially expected. As a result, demand visibility remained limited, influenced by extended customer qualification timelines, cautious OEM investment decisions, and slower-than-anticipated electric vehicle adoption.
Financial Performance
Butte segment revenues were USD 78.1 million during 2025 compared with USD 140.7 million during 2024. The decrease in revenue is due to decreased revenue from polysilicon sales along with decreased volume for silicon gas sales.
Silicon gas sales volumes decreased by 366MT to 2,194MT during 2025 when compared with 2024. Sales prices for silicon gas increased by 1.1 percent year over year.
Total polysilicon sales volumes, including by-products, were 4274MT during 2025, compared with 914MT during 2024. Semiconductor grade polysilicon sales were 176MT during 2025, compared with 565MT during 2024. The polysilicon sold was primarily sourced from previously produced inventory and future sales volumes are expected to decrease as inventory is depleted.
The Butte segment contributed USD 2.7 million to the Company's EBITDA during 2025, compared with USD 12.9 million during the 2024. The decreased EBITDA was primarily due to decreased gas volume.

| Net Costs | -10.8 | 0.0 |
| EBITDA contribution | 4.3 | 0.0 |
On December 30, 2024, the Company announced the decision to permanently cease production of granular polysilicon at its manufacturing facility located in Moses Lake, Washington. As a result, the granular polysilicon business line met the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation.
Following the shutdown announcement, the Company began a process to clean out material in production, which continued through early March 2025. Costs incurred for the completion of this cleanout totaled USD 10.2 million. These costs are directly attributable to the discontinued business line and are therefore included within discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the cleanout process the Moses Lake facility is being maintained in a non-operational status that will allow for the future restart of its silane gas plants. These activities are not directly attributable to the discontinued granular polysilicon operations and are therefore classified within continuing operations.
Financial Performance
The Company incurred USD 10.8 million in costs during 2025 related to the safe maintenance of its silane gas plants in a non-operating status. These activities are not directly attributable to the discontinued granular polysilicon operations and are therefore classified within continuing operations. In addition, the Company recorded a gain from other income and expenses in the amount of USD 15.1 million during 2025 primarily as the result of gains from renegotiated lease contracts as well as a USD 1.4 million gain from a change in the asset retirement obligation for Moses Lake. Total EBITDA during 2025 was a gain of USD 4.3 million.
The Moses Lake facility has an annual capacity of 24,000MT of silane gas for own use. However, additional investment would be required to make deliveries to external customers. In the meantime, the silane plants will be maintained in a safe and recoverable condition.
Other and Eliminations
Other includes general administrative and sales activities in support of the manufacturing facilities in the United States and the Company's headquarters in Norway. It also includes costs associated with the Company's support offices in Asia.

| Net financial expenses | -34.6 | -28.4 |
| Net currency gains/losses | -0.0 | 0.1 |
| Net financial items | -34.3 | -25.3 |
Net financial items were a loss of USD 34.3 million during 2025 compared with a loss of USD 25.3 million during 2024. During 2025, net financial items are primarily associated with interest on borrowings, loan fees and interest on leases, offset by interest income on bank accounts and capitalization of borrowing costs.
Net currency gains/losses include fluctuations between transaction currencies and the USD, which is the reporting currency for the group. Net currency gains/losses are primarily related to the impact of exchange rate changes on the repayment of capital between REC companies. Additionally, there are currency impacts on liabilities and cash deposits denominated in NOK.
Interest expenses on borrowings were USD 25.1 million during 2025 compared with USD 21.3 million during 2024. The company obtained an additional USD 90 million in term loans during 2025. The additional loans during 2025 are all related party loans with USD 60 million from Hanwha International, USD 10 million from Hanwha Global Americas and USD 20 million Anchor AS. All term loans are tied to Secured Overnight Funds Rates, SOFR. Expense related to guarantee fees were USD 3.2 million during 2025. Interest expense includes interest on a note payable associated with the settlement of the property tax dispute with Grant County, Washington. (See notes 17 and 25 to the consolidated financial statements).
Interest expense from continuing operations related to leases was USD 5.3 million during 2025, compared with USD 4.2 million during 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the recognition of Moses Lake lease obligations within continuing operations following the completion of the cleanout activities for the FBR facility in March 2025. (See Note 7 and 25 to the consolidated financial statements).
Capitalized borrowing costs from continuing operations were USD 0.6 million during 2025 and are related to capitalized interest associated with long-term capital projects. Interest is capitalized at the blended effective external borrowing rate for the company of 7.0 percent.
The remaining expense can be attributed to interest associated with asset retirement obligations and interest on the pension obligation.
Income tax
The loss before tax from total operations of USD 63.1 million during 2025 resulted in no effective tax impact since it is offset by changes in unrecognized deferred tax assets. These losses represent an increase in the Company's unrecognized deferred tax asset. The losses will continue to be available to offset taxable income during future periods.
See note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.
Profit and loss
The loss from total operations was USD 63.1 million during 2025 compared with a loss of USD 457.4 million during 2024. The loss from continuing operations was USD 62.3 million during 2025 compared with a loss of USD 104.2 million during 2024.
Cash flow
Net cash outflows from operating activities were USD 76.4 million during 2025 compared with USD 132.0 million during 2024. During 2025, cash outflows included USD 30.8 million of interest payments for loans and leases.
Net cash outflows from investing activities were USD 8.4 million during 2025 compared with cash outflows of USD 89.6 million during 2024. Proceeds from the sale of non-core assets were

USD 0.6 million during 2025. Payments of capital expenditures were USD 9.3 million during 2025 and were primarily associated with vendor payments for Moses Lake improvement projects that were accrued from 2024. Other capital spending included cost savings and improvement initiatives, routine replacement of production equipment, and capital necessary to maintain safe and reliable operations.
Cash inflows from financing activities were USD 81.9 million during 2025 and included a net increase of USD 90 million in borrowings. During 2025, a USD 1.4 million principal payment was made for the property tax note. Additionally, cash payments of USD 6.7 million were lease related. During 2024, cash inflows from financing activities were USD 60.9 million and included net USD 70 million from borrowings, offset by USD 1.2 million for the payment of the property tax note. Additionally, cash payments of USD 7.9 million were lease related. See note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for more information on borrowings.
In total, cash balances decreased by USD 3.0 million during 2025 to USD 7.3 million on December 31, 2025.
Financial position
Shareholders' equity decreased to negative USD 440.5 million as of December 31, 2025, compared with negative USD 378.1 million as of December 31, 2024. This decrease was the result of the loss from total operations of USD 63.1 million offset by the remeasurement of the ASiMI pension in the amount of 0.6 million.
Net debt is the carrying value of interest-bearing debt instruments (including financing leases) less cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, net debt was USD 483.8 million, which consisted of USD 442.6 million in total carrying value of the Company's debt plus USD 48.5 million in current and non-current lease liabilities, less USD 7.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. For 2024 net debt was USD 407.3 million.
Nominal net debt is the contractual repayment value of interest-bearing debt instruments (including financing leases), less cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, nominal net debt was USD 483.8 million. For 2024 nominal net debt was 407.8 million. (See note 17 to the consolidated financial statements).
Going concern
As of the date of these financial statements, the Group does not have sufficient available cash to meet debt service and other anticipated operating requirements without additional financing. Management therefore acknowledges that additional sources of capital will be required for the Group to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company is actively pursuing financing initiatives, including securing additional funding, refinancing existing debt facilities, and pursuing the sale of non-core assets. In addition, the Company is in the process of completing an equity offering that is expected to close in early second quarter of 2026 and is anticipated to generate gross proceeds of approximately USD 100 million. While this transaction is expected to materially strengthen the Group's liquidity position, its completion remains subject to customary conditions.
Based on current forecasts, operating cash flow generated from the Butte facility, together with planned financing actions, is expected to support liquidity requirements during 2026. However, the Group is not expected to generate sufficient operating cash flow over the next twelve months to meet its obligations as they fall due without obtaining additional financing.
These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The Group's ability to continue operations is dependent on the successful execution of its financing plans and continued support from its largest shareholder, Hanwha.
In forming its conclusion, management and the Board have considered cash flow forecasts, available mitigating actions, and financial support historically provided by related parties, including guarantees and shareholder loans. Based on this assessment, the Board considers it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. This conclusion is dependent on the successful execution of the financing initiatives described above and the continued support of lenders and shareholders.
The Board will continue to monitor the Group's liquidity position and financing activities closely and will take further actions as necessary to preserve financial stability.

REC Silicon ASA (NGAAP)
Financial review
In 2025, REC Silicon ASA reported a negative EBIT of USD 4.0 million compared with negative EBIT of USD 2.2 million in 2024. The Company recorded a net loss of USD 99.9 million for 2025, compared with a net loss of USD 228.0 million in 2024.
Net financial expenses for 2025 were USD 96.0 million, consisting of interest expenses of USD 7.9 million, an impairment of internal loans of USD 88.1 million, a net currency loss of less than USD 0.1 million, and interest income of less than USD 0.1 million. Interest income from subsidiaries was suspended in both 2025 and 2024 due to the financial position and outlook of the borrowing companies.
Net financial expenses for 2024 were USD 225.7 million and included an impairment of internal loans of USD 217.4 million, interest expenses of USD 8.7 million, and interest income of USD 0.4 million. The impairment of internal loans reflects the reassessment of recoverable amounts of loans to subsidiaries during 2025 and 2024. (See Note M to the financial statements for REC Silicon ASA.)
Total equity for the parent company was USD negative 83.8 million as of December 31, 2025, compared with USD 16.1 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease mainly reflects the net loss for the year.
Allocation of Net Loss for the Parent Company
The Board of Directors proposes that the net loss for the year of USD 99.9 million be transferred to other equity.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Board considers effective risk management to be a fundamental component of safeguarding shareholder value and maintaining operational resilience. The Group operates in markets that are subject to macroeconomic, industry-specific, operational, and financial risks that could adversely affect results, financial position, and cash flows.
Macroeconomic and Industry Risks
Global economic conditions, including inflation, interest rate volatility, currency fluctuations, and geopolitical developments, may affect demand for advanced silicon products, pricing levels, and access to capital. Trade restrictions, tariffs, and other protectionist measures have affected, and may continue to affect, the Group's ability to compete in certain markets, influence cost structures, and impact sales volumes. Prolonged adverse market conditions could reduce operating cash flow and limit financial flexibility.
The Group does not have operations or material exposure in Iran or other areas directly affected by recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, escalating conflicts in the region could impact global energy markets, supply chains, financial markets, or economic conditions more broadly. The Group continues to monitor developments and assess potential impacts on its operations and financial performance.
Tariff and Trade Policy Uncertainty
The tariff and trade policy environment remains uncertain and continues to evolve. The Company entered into fixed-price supply agreements for major raw materials during 2025 prior to the emergence of recent tariff developments; however, these arrangements may not fully mitigate the impact of potential future tariffs or other trade restrictions. Although the majority of raw materials are sourced domestically, tariffs may still affect the Company indirectly through suppliers and other supply chain participants, potentially increasing costs and adversely affecting profitability.
Historically, a significant portion of revenues has been generated from export sales (55 percent during 2025). Accordingly, the Company may be exposed to risks arising from tariffs, retaliatory trade measures, or other barriers affecting U.S. exports, which could reduce demand for its products, disrupt customer relationships, and negatively affect revenues and margins.
Operational Risks
The Group's manufacturing activities involve the handling and processing of silane gas and other hazardous materials. Operational incidents, supply interruptions, or disruptions in utilities or critical inputs could affect production levels and result in liabilities, remediation costs, or reduced capacity. The Butte facility is particularly important to the Group's operations, and any significant disruption there could materially affect output. In

FINANCIALS
addition, operations are energy intensive, exposing the Group to fluctuations in energy prices and availability. While the Group maintains insurance coverage for certain risks, such coverage may not fully offset potential losses.
Liquidity Risk
The Group is not expected to generate sufficient operating cash flow over the next twelve months to meet its obligations as they fall due without additional financing. Accordingly, continued access to external funding, including support from the Company's largest shareholder, remains critical. The Group's ability to continue operations is dependent on the successful execution of planned financing initiatives. Failure to secure sufficient funding could require the Company to curtail operations or pursue alternative financial restructuring measures.
Credit Risk
Credit risk arises primarily from trade receivables and certain guarantees issued in connection with historical business activities. The Group manages this risk through established credit policies, monitoring procedures, and, where appropriate, collateral or other credit enhancements. Exposure levels may vary with customer-specific developments and broader market conditions.
Currency Risk
The Company's net cash flows and debt are primarily denominated in USD. Currency risk therefore relates mainly to cash balances held in currencies other than USD, particularly NOK. The Group does not currently maintain hedging instruments to offset the risk of exchange rate fluctuations between USD and NOK.
Climate-Related Considerations
The Group monitors climate-related developments, including regulatory requirements, energy usage, and emissions, to assess potential impacts on operations, financial reporting estimates, and asset retirement or environmental obligations. Based on currently available information, management has not identified material impacts for the reporting period.
Corporate governance
Good corporate governance is essential to ensure that our business is run in a way that protects the long-term interest of all stakeholders. The Board of Directors has approved and implemented corporate governance principles endorsing and complying with the Norwegian Accounting Act and the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance. The Group's compliance with the Code of Practice is described in the report on Corporate Governance for 2025 which is included in this Annual Report.
The Company has directors' and officers' liability insurance. The insurance covers the Board of Directors as well as officers of the company from legal personal liability for financial damage caused by the performance of their duties.
Sustainability
REC Silicon's sustainability report is presented separately in its own section of REC's annual report.
Outlook
Market conditions are expected to remain challenging in the near term, driven by continued low-cost supply from China, extended customer ramp-up timelines, and ongoing policy and trade uncertainties. While construction of new semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the United States is largely complete, production ramp-ups are progressing in a measured manner, which is expected to support a more sustained demand profile as utilization rates increase over time.
The solar PV market continues to face near-term headwinds, as project installations have slowed in certain regions due to pricing pressure, inventory adjustments, and policy uncertainty. Investment activity in the United States may improve as deferred projects advance into installation and ramp-up phases. In contrast, pricing competition across several Asian markets, including Southeast Asia and India, is expected to intensify amid ongoing oversupply and continued capacity expansion.
The silicon anode battery market remains at an early stage of commercialization. Pilot-scale production activities are ongoing in South Korea and the United States, but the transition to full commercial-scale production is progressing more gradually than initially expected. Near-term demand visibility therefore remains limited and is influenced by extended customer qualification timelines, cautious OEM investment decisions, slower-than-anticipated electric vehicle adoption, and evolving regulatory and incentive frameworks.

Although electric vehicles represent the primary end market for silicon anode technology, potential applications are also being evaluated in adjacent segments such as data centers and mobile devices. Adoption in these areas remains at an early stage and is largely confined to pilot programs and qualification activities; however, these applications may provide incremental long-term demand opportunities as the market develops.
Events after the balance sheet date
Subsequent to year-end, the Company undertook several financing actions to support short-term liquidity and strengthen its capital structure.
In January 2026, the Group obtained a USD 10.0 million unsecured short-term loan from Anchor AS to support near-term operating liquidity. In addition, the maturity of the existing USD 110.0 million short-term loan facility with Hanwha International LLC was extended to January 2027, improving the Group's near-term refinancing profile.
On February 9, 2026, the Group announced that its Board of Directors intends to propose a fully underwritten rights issue for approval at an extraordinary general meeting. The offering is expected to generate gross proceeds of approximately NOK 972.6 million. Net proceeds are intended to strengthen liquidity, including repayment of approximately USD 70 million of existing obligations, as well as for general corporate purposes and working capital. The rights issue is fully underwritten by Anchor AS, the Company's largest shareholder.
These actions are intended to support short-term liquidity and address upcoming financing requirements. Further details regarding events after the reporting period are provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Armed conflicts in the Middle East continue to evolve. The Group does not have operations or material direct exposure to Iran or other areas directly affected by the conflicts. While the Group has not experienced any direct operational impacts to date, continued escalation could affect global energy markets, supply chains, financial markets, or broader economic conditions, which could indirectly impact the Group. The Group continues to monitor developments and assess potential implications for its business.

Strategy, business model and sustainability
Description of significant groups of products
REC Silicon produces Silane gas (SiH4), the simplest and purest form of silicon. It is used in a variety of applications, from memory processes to lithium-ion battery production, as well as thin film deposition uses. It is also refined into specialty gases for advanced uses in the semiconductor, solar PV and EV battery industries.
Significant markets
REC Silicon sells its product to the semiconductor, electronics and solar PV industries. Historically, about two thirds of revenues have come from exports to Asia. The Company is in the process of transitioning its business to target US based value chains in the semiconductor and electronics industries, the solar PV market and the EV battery industry with silane and specialty gases.
Main business relationships
The Company is in a relatively concentrated value chain where the key raw material, metallurgical grade silicon, is abundant and sourced both in the US and internationally, while most other inputs and services are sourced inside the US, with some components from suppliers in Asia.
Key elements that relate to sustainability issues
REC Silicon is placed in value chains that are high on both energy and water intensity. Emissions from energy production and energy use are therefore important parameters, where the value chains are focusing on increased energy efficiency and a transition to renewable energy sources.
REC Silicon's production processes involve the handling of dangerous chemicals and is at risk of incidents such as accidents, explosions or involuntary releases of substances. Production safety in general, and specifically employee health and safety, are key issues that are always at the top of the agenda. The production process also involves risk of pollution or unwanted releases to the external environment, and the Company operates under strict environmental permits.
REC Silicon is targeting markets that are driven by the energy transition. This includes prospective growth in the demand for solar energy, which will result in increased demand for solar panel components. The Company is also positioned in the electric vehicle value chain, specifically in new-generation EV batteries through its silane gas offering.

Health and safety
REC Silicon puts safety first and follows the strategy that all accidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses are preventable. The target is zero harm to employees, contractors, customers, and members of the public.
The Company complies with the highest international health, safety and security standards and the prevailing laws and regulations, aiming for continuous improvement and to empower all organizational levels to implement a management approach based on the principles of precaution, prevention, protection, and risk management.
The specific practices are described in the Code of Conduct. Procedures and systems are in place to prevent, manage, track and report all occupational injuries and illnesses. All significant injuries and illnesses are investigated to reduce recurrence. Workplace safety and health is communicated to all employees in a monthly safety meeting. REC Silicon also monitors its suppliers' safety records annually.
Environment
REC Silicon's operations result in air and water emissions and produce significant volumes of waste. The Company is obligated to operate within environmental permits as specified by national and/or local regulations and use third party certifications to document performance.
REC Silicon ensures that all required environmental permits are obtained, maintained and kept current. Waste is sought reduced the source wherever possible. Chemicals and other hazardous materials are handled and stored in a safe manner. REC Silicon has a systematic approach to identifying, managing and tracking air emissions, storm water and waste.
REC Silicon has an Environmental Management System that is ISO 14001:2015 certified and a Quality Management System that is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
Climate change
REC Silicon's goal is to further the positive contribution from renewable solar energy and from the electrification of society. This includes minimizing the energy payback time of its products through reducing the carbon footprint of production and to develop products that can enable the transition to a carbon neutral future.
The majority of REC Silicon's products target industries or segments that are part of the energy transition. The Company has also set targets for GHG emission intensity in its production, which is further described in the environmental section.
Anti-corruption and bribery
REC Silicon has zero tolerance of any form of corruption, without exception, and has adopted rules and controls to prevent and combat the risk of corruption in the performance of its activities.
Non-compliance is treated as a serious violation and a disciplinary matter. Employees shall be protected against any sanctions from REC Silicon or any representative of the Company for refusing to participate in any action that is or can be perceived as corruption, bribery, or facilitation payment.

GHG reduction targets
The company has a target to reduce the Scope 1 and 2 carbon intensity per ton of product by 40% by 2027 (baseline 2021). The target was reached in 2025, as illustrated in the table below:
| ICO_{2}e/t | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline | 42.4 | ||||
| Actual | 46.1 | 54.1 | 32.9 | 24.9 | |
| Target (27) | 25.4 | ||||
| % of target | 167% | 181% | 213% | 130% | 98% |
The target was based on the restart of the Moses Lake facility at the end of 2022 to produce polysilicon. The decision to shut down this production from end of 2024 has reduced both energy-use and volumes produced. The production and emissions now come solely from the Butte facility and only from silane gases, which is low in energy consumption and related GHG emissions compared to polysilicon. The production volumes are currently subdued, due to market conditions.
Due to internal resource restrictions, REC Silicon has suspended its previous target to map upstream Scope 3 emissions to reduce value chain carbon intensity.
Climate risks
The risks are primarily transition-related, such as access to energy, primarily renewable energy. Physical climate risks for the Company's operations are expected to be low in the foreseeable future, while certain parts of the upstream and downstream value chains could be at risk in the long term.
REC Silicon operates in a high-climate impact sector. The Company has not adopted a climate transition plan and there are currently no plans to adopt such a plan in the near future.
Energy pricing, availability and sourcing
In 2025, REC Silicon consumed about 280 GWh of electricity. There is a growing competition for energy where REC Silicon's facilities are located. This could impact costs and growth in the long-term, although the energy requirements for the current production capacity are secured through agreements with local utilities.
Some of these risks are offset by a product exposure to sectors that are directly related to renewable energy, such as solar PV, to the electrification of transport, such as silane-based batteries, and to semiconductors – key climate-transition enablers and key in the growth of datacenters.
Since the Company's strategy is partly focused on energy transition trends, there are more transition opportunities than there are transition risks for REC Silicon.
Other environmental information
REC Silicon is obliged to report pollution metrics to local authorities as part of pollution and water permits held by its two production facilities.
The Company does not own, lease or manage any sites in or near biodiversity sensitive areas, nor does it operate any facilities in areas of high water-stress.
REC Silicon does not apply circular economy principles as such and dispose of waste in line with local regulations.
The Company recorded two environmental permit breaches in 2025, down from six in the prior year. This is the lowest level for the past five years.

Governance
The governance structure in general, as well as the parts pertaining to sustainability, is outlined in the Corporate Governance section in this Annual Report.
The gender composition of the Board of Directors in REC Silicon is as follows:
| Gender | Number | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Female | 2 | 67% |
| Male | 1 | 33% |
Policy foundation
The Code of Conduct and Sustainability Policy prescribe clear guidelines for business conduct matters. REC Silicon supports the ten principles of the UN Global Compact and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and is subject to the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Federal Bribery Statute.
The Company has zero tolerance for any form of corruption, without exception and treats non-compliance as a serious violation and a disciplinary matter.
REC Silicon sets high standards of integrity and believes that a sound business must be based on value-based management and
clear guidelines on ethics and sustainability. The Company believes it creates value by supporting a competitive market, operating fairly and fighting illegal practices. All potential integrity concerns are investigated, and the Company will cooperate fully with relevant authorities if required. REC Silicon avoids conflicts of interest and practices related to the commission or participation in fraud.
The principles are enforced through the Risk Management System, which contribute to spread a culture of risk management and control that allows the Company to run its business in a healthy, correct, and responsible manner.
Corruption and bribery
Employees undertake annual training on anti-corruption and anti-bribery as part of the training on the Code of Conduct and Sustainability Policy.
REC Silicon does not maintain a particular system to prevent, detect and address allegations or incidents of corruption and bribery. Pursuant to the Code of Conduct, it is every employee's duty to report any violation of the principles of the Code of Conduct, and the whistleblower system exists for this purpose.
During 2025, the Company incurred no convictions or fines for the violation of anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws. This is in line with previous years.
Data protection and cyber security
REC implemented significant measures in 2024 to enhance its cybersecurity program, addressing the evolving landscape of cyber threats.
The Company has conducted a comprehensive review and enhancement of its cybersecurity policies, implemented in 2025.
The Company has prioritized advancements in remote access and authentication methods, with a particular emphasis on zero trust principles.
By continuously improving its cybersecurity posture and employing innovative technologies, REC Silicon demonstrates a commitment to protecting its assets and stakeholders, ultimately contributing to the Company's long-term sustainability and success.

Appendix – Transparency Act Statement
REC Silicon Transparency Act Statement 2025
Introduction
General description of the Company's structure and area of operations, please see the following:
- Company description, page 7
As stated in its Business Partner Code of Conduct, REC Silicon expect all its business partners to treat employees with respect and fairness and to respect international human rights, as set forth in:
- The International Bill of Human Rights;
- The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights;
- The ten principles of the UN Global compact;
- The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises; and
- The International Labour Organisation Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at work.
These include the prohibition of forced labor, child labor and hazardous work for young workers. They also require companies to maintain an inclusive and cooperative environment with no retaliation, free from violence or harassment. Any form of discrimination in the recruitment or employment practices is rejected.
REC Silicon expects its business partners to provide fair remuneration and benefits, following minimum wages provisions and in any case a living wage, and to ensure reasonable working hours, sufficient resting times and overtime within legally defined limits.
REC Silicon is also subject to relevant US legislation regarding general working conditions, such as the Equal Pay Act, the Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Act and the Modern Slavery Act.
REC Silicon’s approach to supply chain management
The Company followed up its 2023 human rights risk mapping by developing a separate Business Partner Code of Conduct and a process to secure commitments to the principles of the Code from a majority of the suppliers (please refer to the 2023 Transparency Act Statement for further details).
During 2024, REC Silicon conducted a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) in line with the requirements in the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). This included a separate supplier sustainability survey conducted among the top 50 suppliers to provide further insights into the spectrum of
relevant sustainability matters and to provide suppliers with an opportunity to express their interests towards REC Silicon as a client. The survey recorded a 38% response rate.
Further engagement with suppliers on specific sustainability matters has been suspended due to a lack of internal resources because of the Company's significant restructuring during 2025 following the decision to shut down operations at Moses Lake.
Governance and oversight
The ultimate responsibility for sustainability-related matters lies with the Board of Directors. The Board considers sustainability-related impacts, risks and opportunities as an integral part of strategic planning and decision-making.
The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors and is responsible for sustainability matters. This includes oversight of the Company's sustainability reporting and reporting process, liaising with the auditors on sustainability reporting matters, review of sustainability risks as part of the overall risk framework and oversight of the implementation of any management measures relating to sustainability and climate risk.

FINANCIALS
The Audit Committee meets and considers sustainability matters at least quarterly including performance metrics and general policy, sustainability reporting, projects or strategic matters of relevance.
Policies
The Business Partner Code of Conduct (BPCoC) builds on the Code of Conduct and Sustainability Policy and the principles therein. The objectives are to ensure that the suppliers follow the same principles as REC Silicon, and that the Company maintains adequate sourcing of critical materials and inputs. It is available online at www.recsilicon.com.
Impacts and risks
The DMA identified human rights breaches as a potentially negative material impact across the Company's value chain. The risk mapping showed that the risk is medium. This topic of human rights breaches is also subject to several relevant laws and regulations, such as the Modern Slavery Act, the Civil Rights Act and more.
While health and safety, as well as general working conditions, are relevant and important, the DMA process did not identify these as material.
Actions and action plans
The objectives for 2025 were to include sustainability requirements in purchase orders terms and conditions, complete a full risk profiling of the 15 most critical vendors, review the top 6 critical procedures related to supplier risk management and to complete an audit of the top 5 suppliers. A specific supply chain risk management tool was also sought to be implemented.
Due to the still ongoing restructuring of REC Silicon, there have not been sufficient internal resources to move these objectives and ambitions meaningfully forward during 2025.

Board of Directors' report on Corporate Governance
REC Silicon ASA (the "Company" or "REC Silicon") and its subsidiaries (together "REC Silicon Group" or the "Group"), endorse the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance ("Code of Practice") issued by the Norwegian Corporate Governance Board, most recently revised on August 28, 2025.
1. Implementation and reporting on corporate governance
The Board of Directors of REC Silicon ("Board") has prepared the following report that explains the Group's corporate governance practices and how it has complied with the Code of Practice in the preceding year. The application of the Code of Practice is based on the "comply or explain" principle and deviations from the code, if any, is explained under the relevant item. The Group's corporate governance practices are subject to annual reviews and discussions by the Board.
REC Silicon Group deviated from the recommendations in the Code of Practice on two sections at year-end 2025. These deviations pertained to separate proxy voting for candidates to the Board (Section 6) and separate regulations for takeover bids (Section 14).
The following sections provide a discussion of the Company's corporate governance in relation to each section of the Code of Practice.
2. Business
REC Silicon's business activities are consistent with the Company's stated purpose as set out in its Articles of Association § 3. "The Company's purpose is development and sale of products and services related to renewable energy sources, and to perform other financial operations related to such. The Company may, through subscription of shares or in any other ways, including granting of loans, acquire interests in other companies with identical or similar purposes".
The Board has established strategies, business objectives, and a risk profile for the Company's activities with the objective of creating sustainable shareholder value while considering financial, social, and environmental factors. The Board reviews the Company's strategy, objectives, and risk profile on an annual basis and monitors implementation through regular reporting from management.
Further information regarding the Company's business activities and strategic priorities is presented in the Board of Directors' Report.

3. Equity and dividends
The Group's consolidated equity was negative USD 440.5 million as of December 31, 2025. The debt-to-equity ratio on December 31, 2025, was negative 1.3. The Board monitors the Group's capital structure and takes such actions as necessary to ensure that it is appropriate for the current objectives, strategy, and risk profile. Reference is also made to the consolidated financial statements note 3.3 regarding capital structure and financing and note 3.1 regarding financial risk and to the report of the Board.
The Group will require additional funding to support operations during the next twelve months, as debt obligations begin to mature in the first half of the year and operating cash flow alone are not expected to be sufficient to meet these obligations. Accordingly, there is significant uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to secure sufficient funding without continued support from its largest shareholder or other sources of capital.
The Company is pursuing financing initiatives, including equity, loan extensions and refinancing transactions, intended to strengthen its capital structure. Further information is provided in the going concern section of the annual report.
The Board will continue to monitor the Company's capital structure and liquidity position and will take such actions as necessary.
The Group's ambition is to give its shareholders a high and stable return on their investment and to be competitive compared with alternative investment opportunities with comparable risk. To support committed investments and productivity improvements, the Board's view so far has been that retained earnings should be used within the Company. Accordingly, there has been no distribution of dividends to the shareholders since the Company was publicly listed in 2006, and no proposed dividend payments for the financial year 2025.
The Board will continue to assess the capital structure based on the goals, strategies, risk profile, and the financial situation of the Company.
At the Annual General Meeting on June 25, 2025, (the "AGM"), the following authorities were requested by the Board but were not approved:
- Authority to increase the share capital with up to NOK 84,125,000 through one or several share capital increases. The authorization to acquire shares may be used for one or more of the following purposes:
- in connection with investments, acquisitions, or other corporate purposes
- for use for incentive programs for employees
For further information about the mandates given to the Board, reference is made to the minutes from the AGM, which are available on the Company's website (www.recsilicon.com).
4. Equal treatment of shareholders and transactions with related parties
The Company seeks to conform to the principles for equal treatment of shareholders. In the event of a share capital increase based on authorization from an extraordinary general meeting, where the pre-emptive rights of shareholders are set aside, grounds will be provided in the stock exchange notice in which the share capital increase is announced.
In the event of a share buy-back program, the Board will aim to ensure that all related transactions are carried out either through the trading system or at prevailing prices at Oslo Børs. The Board will consider Company and shareholders' interests and aim to maintain transparency and equal treatment of all shareholders. In the event of limited liquidity in the Company's shares, the Company shall consider other ways to ensure equal treatment of all shareholders. There were no transactions in own shares during 2025.
5. Freely negotiable shares
REC Silicon has one class of shares, and each share confers one voting right at the general meetings. The Company's shares are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, where they are freely transferable. There are no restrictions on owning, trading, or voting for shares in the Articles of Association.

6. General meetings
The Board shall ensure that as many of the Company's shareholders as possible are able to exercise their voting rights at the Company's general meetings, and that the general meeting is an effective forum for shareholders and the Board. Extraordinary general meetings (an "EGM") can be called by the Board of Directors if deemed necessary or be requested by the Company's auditor or shareholders representing at least 5 percent of the Company's share capital.
Notification
The Board ensures that the resolutions and supporting information distributed are sufficiently detailed, comprehensive, and specific, allowing shareholders to form a view on all matters to be considered at the meeting. The notice of the general meeting and supporting documents are made available on the Company's website no later than 3 weeks prior to the date of the meeting. The deadline for shareholders to give attendance notice is set as close to the date of the meeting as possible, and minimum 5 days prior to the general meeting.
Shareholders may request that specific matters be considered by a general meeting by written notice to the Board within 7 days prior to the time limit for notice of the general meeting together with a proposal for resolution and reasons why the matter is proposed for consideration. If the notice has already been distributed, a new notice shall be distributed if the time limit for notice to the general meeting has not expired.
Participation and execution
The Chairman of the Board, the Board members, the auditor, and the members of the Nomination Committee are normally present at the general meeting. All Board members are encouraged to attend the meeting.
The Chairman of the Board nominates an independent chair for election to lead the meeting.
The right to participate and vote at the general meeting may only be exercised by shareholders whose shareholdings are entered in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (the "VPS"), on the fifth day prior to the general meeting, as stipulated by the Articles of Association in accordance with statutory law. Instead of participating at the general meeting, shareholders may vote in advance or grant a proxy, with or without voting instructions as further described in this notice.
The annual general meeting is held by the end of June every year in the municipality where the Company has its registered business address or in Oslo. If required, the Board may hold the annual general meeting digitally. The 2025 AGM was held digitally on June 25th, with 72.59 percent of the Company's shares represented.
Deviation from the Code of Practice
The Code of Practice recommends separate voting for candidates to the Board. However, it is not possible to vote separately on each candidate nominated to the Board because the composition of the Board must be in accordance with applicable legislation regarding gender representation and qualifications for committee assignments. The nomination committee's proposal is given with respect to such legislation. Should a situation arise where the composition of the Board might conflict with applicable legislation, the situation, and consequences of electing a board contrary to legislation should be discussed at the General Meeting and shareholders should base their votes on the views discussed.
7. Nomination committee
The Nomination Committee is governed by the Articles of Association section 6. Pursuant to said Article, the Company shall have a Nomination Committee of three members elected by the general meeting. In accordance therewith, Mr. Junghey Chae (chair), Dr. Sungchoon Kang, and Dr. Jieun Lee have been elected by the general meeting to serve as the Nomination Committee. All three members have served since the 2023 AGM.
The Nomination Committee does not include any executive personnel or any member of the Board. Mr. Junghey Chae is an employee of the Company's main shareholders. The remaining members of the Nomination Committee are independent of the Board and the executive management of the Company ("Group Management").

9. Work of the Board of Directors
The Board has the ultimate responsibility for the management of the Company and the Group and for supervising Group Management.
The Board has adopted "Rules of procedures for the Board of Directors," which regulates the Board's responsibilities, duties, and administrative procedures as well as the tasks and duties of the Chief Executive Officer. The Board has also adopted a Chart of Authority regulating matters that are to be decided by the Board and matters that may be decided by Group Management. The Chart of Authority distinguishes between investment decisions, customer contracts, procurement contracts, compensation, and finance and is reviewed on an annual basis. The Board holds at least one meeting per year with the auditor and without any members of Group Management or administration present.
The Board has adopted guidelines to ensure it is informed of and how to handle potential transactions and matters to be considered by the Board, in which members of the Board, Group Management or close associates are involved. The Board must review and approve all transactions between the Group and Group Management or the Board.
The Board has established two committees: an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee.
Audit Committee
The Company's Audit Committee is governed by the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act and the Audit Committee Charter, which sets out the tasks and rules of procedure of the Committee.
The Audit Committee members are appointed by and among the Board. On December 31, 2025, the Audit Committee members were Dr. Renate Oberhoffer, and Ms. Paraskevi (Vivian) Bertseka. The Audit Committee held five meetings in 2025.
The Audit Committee supports the Board with the assessment and control of financial risk, financial reporting, sustainability reporting, auditing, control, and prepares discussions and resolutions for Board meetings. It has no decision-making authority. The Audit Committee reviews complaints regarding accounting, internal controls, and auditing matters. In addition, under the whistle-blower procedure, complaints from employees and other concerned parties are received and followed up by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the Group auditor and the auditor's fees, as assessing the auditor's independence, including considering any non-audit-related services provided.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is governed by the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act and the Compensation Committee Charter, which sets out the tasks and procedures of the Committee. The Compensation Committee members are appointed by and among the Board of Directors. On December 31, 2025, the Compensation Committee member was Tae Won Jun, who is independent of the Group Management. During 2025, the Compensation Committee met twice.
The Compensation Committee supports the Board by preparing resolutions on the terms and conditions of employment for the Chief Executive Officer and the general principles and strategies for compensation of Group Management including bonus and share based compensation as well as other personnel matters.
Related-Party Transactions
Transactions between the Company and related parties, including major shareholders, Board members, or members of Group Management, are subject to review and approval by the Board in accordance with applicable laws and the Company's internal governance procedures. Directors with a direct or indirect interest in a transaction do not participate in the Board's consideration or decision-making related to that matter.
For material related-party transactions, the Board assesses whether independent valuations or fairness opinions are appropriate to ensure that such transactions are conducted on arm's length terms and in the best interests of the Company and all shareholders.

Conflicts of Interest
The Board has established procedures to identify and manage potential conflicts of interest. Board members and members of Group Management are required to disclose any potential conflicts promptly. Where a conflict exists, the relevant individual will not participate in the discussion or decision on the matter concerned.
Board Self-Assessment
The Board periodically evaluates its performance and working processes, including its composition, expertise, independence, and effectiveness. Any matters identified for improvement are discussed and addressed as appropriate.
10. Risk management and internal control
The Group’s risk management system shall ensure that the Group has a systematic and uniform approach to risk management. The system defines roles, responsibilities, processes and procedures, standards, tools, and documentation, including considerations related to integrating stakeholders in relation to the Company’s value creation.
Group Management sets the context in which risks are managed and supervises the risk management process. Group Management performs separate risk evaluations based on a top-down approach. Risk assessments are presented to the Audit Committee and the Board. The Board performs a review of risks in connection with the approval of the annual budget.
Group Management regularly updates the Board including operational reviews, HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) measures, financial highlights, and key performance indicators. Prior to each Board meeting, the Chief Executive Officer prepares a report to the Board, which includes this information in addition to any items requested by Board members and items requiring action by the Board. The Chief Executive Officer also has pre-meetings and informal discussions with the Board throughout the year.
Because the Group operates internationally, it is required to comply with numerous national and international laws and regulations. All business activities and processes must be conducted in accordance with laws, and regulations.
To strengthen internal control, the Group has established an Anticorruption Policy and procedures, provided training to employees and managers, and performed a fraud risk assessment. Whistleblower complaints and other internal control activities are presented to the Audit Committee according to the Audit Committee charter.
To ensure consistent financial reporting throughout the Group, financial information is reported through a computerized financial reporting system utilizing a common chart of accounts and procedures designed to ensure the consistency of information reported. Subsidiaries accumulate transactional information, period end balances, and performance statistics through ERP systems designed to meet the business requirements of each operation. Quarterly and year-end reporting processes are expanded to meet various supplementary requirements.
The quarterly and yearly reporting process and significant accounting and reporting issues are discussed with the Audit Committee in the presence of the external auditor.
The Group’s financial risk management is described in the consolidated financial statements (note 3). Reference is also made to the Board of Directors’ report that includes an analysis of the financial statements and the risk factors.
In accordance with the Norwegian Transparency Act, the Company publishes an annual transparency statement, which can be found in this report as an appendix to the Sustainability section.

11. Remuneration of the Board of Directors
The members of the Board receive remuneration in accordance with their individual roles.
Board remuneration is not linked to Company performance and Board members are not granted share options.
Details on the remuneration of the Board are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements (note 16), as well as in the separate remuneration report that can be found at www.recsilicon.com
Members of the Board and/or related companies with which they are associated should not take on specific assignments for the Company in addition to their appointment as a member of the Board, but if they do, this shall be disclosed to the full Board. The remuneration for such additional duties will be approved by the Board. There were no such assignments in 2025.
12. Remuneration of the Group Management
The guidelines for salary and other compensation to Group Management was presented at the AGM in June 2025. The policy was last updated in 2025 and was approved by the general meeting. The Board determines remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer while remuneration of Group Management is determined according to guidelines. The Board's statement
regarding compensation of leading employees, required by accounting act §7-31b, is included in note 16 of the consolidated financial statements.
The remuneration of the Group Management consists of a basic salary, relevant additional benefits and membership in the Company's pension and insurance schemes. The remuneration also includes performance bonuses for selected individuals based on an annual performance related compensation system. In addition, the Board has adopted an incentive program for retaining key personnel. The performance bonuses are linked to the Group's financial performance and defined KPI's over time and includes incentives related to performance the employees can influence.
Details on the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and other members of Group Management are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements (note 16), as well as in the separate remuneration report that can be found at www.recsilicon.com
The Board extended the long-term incentive program for retaining key personnel, whereby employees' entitlements are linked to the share price development of the Company's shares. The share-based program was introduced in 2014 and includes a lock-up period for shares awarded and an absolute limit for the maximum gain in each calendar year, however, no shares were issued in 2025. Further details on the incentive program are disclosed in note 32 of the consolidated financial statements.
The 2025 AGM voted separately on the compensation to leading employees and the statement regarding long-term incentive plans.
13. Information and communication
The Company treats its investors equally. Timely information is published simultaneously to all investors in accordance with applicable legislation and regulation in order to provide the best possible basis for evaluation of Company performance. All information is provided in English.
The Board adopted an Investor Relations ("IR") policy specifying, among other things, who is entitled to speak on behalf of the Company on various subjects and with guidelines for the Company's contact with shareholders other than through general meetings.
Interim reports are published on a quarterly basis, in line with Oslo Stock Exchange's recommendations. Interim reports include presentations to provide an overview of operational and financial developments, market outlook, and the Company's prospects. The presentations are open to the public and made available through a webcast. The Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the IR Officer are normally present at the quarterly presentations. Furthermore, the Company keeps an ongoing dialogue with its investors and makes presentations to analysts and investors through various conferences and events.

The Company observes a "Silent Period" extending from the last day of the quarter until operating results are released publicly. During this period, Group Management is not available for discussions with investors or analysts. The IR Officer is available on a limited basis to provide material previously released and to facilitate the collection and distribution of consensus forecasts. The Investor Relations function oversees coordinating the Company's communications to the market and to existing and potential investors of the Company. The IR Officer is an independent contractor that reports to the Chief Financial Officer.
14. Take-overs
The Company has no defence mechanism to prevent take-over bids. The Board is open to initiatives that are commercially and financially attractive for the shareholders. The Board will assess potential offers in accordance with applicable legislation and Code of Practice requirements in due course.
Any transaction that effectively constitutes a disposal of a majority of the Company's activities will be decided by the general meeting.
Deviation from the Code of Practice
The Board has not established separate guidelines in the event of a take-over bid as recommended by the Code of Practice. Take-over bids are usually specific, one-off, events which makes preparation of guidelines challenging. In the event of a take-over process, the Board will ensure that the Company's shareholders are treated equally, and that the Company's activities are not unnecessarily interrupted. The Board will further seek to comply with the relevant recommendations from the Code of Practice.
15. Auditor
The Company's external auditor, Deloitte, is appointed by the general meeting and is independent from the Company.
The auditor participates at Audit Committee meetings with respect to the Annual Financial Statements. The auditor comments on any material changes in the Company's accounting principles, material estimates used to calculate accounting figures, and reports disagreements between the auditor and Group Management.
The auditor presents significant identified weaknesses and proposals for improvements of the internal control procedures
annually to the Board with an annual confirmation that the auditor has satisfied the requirements for independence together with a summary of all services provided to the Group. The auditor meets with the Audit Committee and the Board at least once a year without the Chief Executive Officer or any other member of the Group Management present.
The auditor is also required to participate in meetings of the Audit Committee and present the main features of the audit plan to the Audit Committee.
Remuneration of the auditor is approved by the general meeting. The auditor provides a break-down between audit and non-audit services, and information is provided to the general meeting about non-audit services provided by the auditor. The Board has issued guidelines regarding Group Management's use of the auditor for services other than the audit. These guidelines include a list of services that are preapproved for fees up to NOK 500,000 and requires audit committee approval for all other non-audit services or if fees are more than NOK 500,000. For more information about remuneration to the auditor, see note 22 to the consolidated financial statements.
The auditor participates at the AGM and presents the independent auditor's report.

Note 02 Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of preparation and statement of compliance
The financial statements are presented in USD, rounded to the nearest tenth of million, unless otherwise stated. As a result of rounding adjustments, the figures in one or more rows or columns included in the financial statements and notes may not add up to the total of that row or column.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU, relevant interpretations, and the Norwegian Accounting Act. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for shareholdings at fair value through profit or loss.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. Actual outcomes may differ substantially. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies. Areas involving a high degree of judgment or complexity, and areas where assumptions and estimates have a significant impact are disclosed in note 4.
2.2 Consolidation
(A) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Company controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control is obtained until the date that control ceases.
All subsidiaries are owned 100 percent and there are no non-controlling interests.
Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated.
(B) Joint ventures
A joint venture is an arrangement where two or more parties have joint control. Joint control exists only when decisions require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for by the equity method of accounting.
(C) Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting.

2.3 Segment reporting
REC Silicon produces silicon gas for the semiconductor industries at its manufacturing facility in Butte, Montana. The company discontinued polysilicon production at its Moses Lake facility as of December 30, 2024. The Company's organization structure, management team, operating strategy, and performance measurement reporting support the determination that these businesses represent separate distinguishable operating segments. Accordingly, there are two operating segments: Moses Lake, Washington and Butte, Montana. The operating segments include revenues less cost of manufacturing. Cost of manufacturing includes direct and indirect manufacturing costs and does not include general, administrative, and selling expenses. Other includes general, administrative, and selling expenses which support both operating segments in addition to administrative costs for the Company's headquarters in Lysaker, Norway. Eliminations include the reversal of the impact of transactions between group members and affiliates. The results of the operating segments plus Other and Eliminations taken together reconcile to total EBITDA and EBIT for the Group.
Group Management is headed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and the CEO makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources and performance assessment for all segments. Accordingly, the CEO is regarded as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).
An operating segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged in providing products that are subject to similar risks and returns and corresponds to management reporting.
2.4 Foreign currency translation
(A) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The Group's reporting currency continues to be USD. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements are presented in USD.
(B) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates on the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement, or the translation of monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in the statement of income, except when deferred in equity as qualifying hedges or as a part of a net investment.
(C) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(i) Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate;
(ii) Income and expenses for each statement of income are translated at average exchange rates for the reporting period (based on monthly average rates); and
(iii) All resulting exchange differences from translation are recognized as a separate component of other comprehensive income (OCI).
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in subsidiaries, including monetary items that are regarded as a
part of the net investment, are included in OCI. When a subsidiary is disposed of, exchange differences are recognized in the statement of income as part of the gain or loss on sale.
2.5 Current/non-current
Assets and liabilities are classified as current when they are expected to be realized or settled within 12 months after the reporting date.
2.6 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and un-reversed impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or installation of the item. Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of qualifying assets are capitalized during the period required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Costs are included in an asset's carrying amount when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and costs can be measured reliably.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the costs of the assets less any residual value over their estimated useful lives.
2.7 Intangible assets
(A) Goodwill
On December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Group had no goodwill.
(B) Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that have finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and un-reversed impairment. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method on the costs of assets over their estimated useful lives from the date they are available for use. The Group has no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

CONTENTS | YEAR IN BRIEF | THIS IS REC SILICON | BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT | SUSTAINABILITY | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE | FINANCIALS
(C) Research and development
Research expenditures are recognized in expense as incurred. Development expenditures (relating to the design, construction and testing of a chosen alternative for new or improved materials, devices, products, processes, or systems) are capitalized when it is probable that the project will be successful considering its commercial and technological feasibility. Costs expensed in prior reporting periods are not later capitalized. Other development expenditures are recognized in expense as incurred.
2.8 Impairment of assets
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell or value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which cash inflows that are largely independent from the cash inflows associated with other assets can be identified (cash‐generating units). Generally, any impairment is allocated to goodwill first, then proportionately to other non‐current assets within a cash‐generating unit. Assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
Impairment includes losses associated with assets determined to have no future economic benefits and assets that are replaced prior to the end of their useful lives.
2.9 Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss, or fair value through other comprehensive income based on both the use of the assets within the entity's business model and the nature of the cash flows. A financial asset is derecognized when expired or when the entity no longer has control of the cash flows related to the assets. Any rights or obligations retained in any transfer of assets are booked separately as assets or liabilities. Financial liabilities are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for financial liabilities (including derivatives) which are classified at fair value.
2.10 Accounting for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
The Group may use derivative financial instruments to manage risk; however, no derivatives were outstanding as of December 31, 2025 or 2024.
2.11 Trade receivables
Trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component are recognized at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade receivables is recognized based upon lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs). The Group calculates ECLs based upon the Group's historic credit loss experience adjusted for forward‐looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. In addition, provisions are recorded for accounts which are greater than 60 days past due unless there is a clear indication that payment will be received. Balances are written off when collection efforts have been exhausted and the probability of recovery is unlikely.
2.12 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits at banks, and money market funds with terms less than three months.
2.13 Paid‐in equity capital
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of any income tax, from the proceeds.
2.14 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value. Borrowings that are not maintained at fair value through profit or loss are recognized net of transaction costs and subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the statement of income over the period the borrowings are outstanding using the effective interest method. Commitment fees for bank credit facilities are recognized as part of interest expenses as incurred.
A financial liability is removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation is discharged, cancelled, or expires. Substantial modifications to the terms of existing financial liabilities or an exchange of debt instruments with an existing lender at substantially different terms are treated as extinguishments of the original liability. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability and the consideration paid to extinguish the liability is recognized in profit or loss.
2.15 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV).
Purchased inventories are stated at average cost less estimated obsolescence. Reserves for obsolescence include the write down of items no longer required (held for disposal) and the estimated decline in NRV caused by slow moving items.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress inventories are determined on a first in, first out basis and consists of raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs, and related indirect overheads. Costs associated with abnormal waste or unused normal operating capacity are not included in inventories and are expensed as incurred. NRV is the estimated sales price less incremental costs to complete and sell the item. Net adjustments to reduce inventory to the lower of cost or NRV are recognized in inventory changes in the statement of income.
2.16 Income tax
Income tax expense (benefit) includes current and deferred tax. Income tax expense (benefit) is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

CONTENTS | YEAR IN BRIEF | THIS IS REC SILICON | BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT | SUSTAINABILITY | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE | FINANCIALS
Current tax is the estimated tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, and any adjustments to tax payable for previous years. Deferred tax includes the effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax also includes the carry forward of unused net operating losses and credits.
Current and deferred tax amounts are determined using rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date or are expected to apply when temporary differences reverse. Net deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which deferred amounts can be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities, and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Utilization of net operating losses and tax credit carry forwards are subject to certain limitations under Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States in the event of a change in the Company's ownership.
2.17 Provisions
Provisions for product warranties, onerous contracts, asset retirement obligations, restructuring costs, termination benefits, environmental restoration, and legal claims are recognized when: The Group has a present or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are discounted only when the effect is material and the distribution in time can be reliably estimated.
2.18 Share-based compensation
The Group grants synthetic share options to certain employees. The cost of these share-based options (settled in cash) is recalculated at each reporting date. using the Black Scholes option pricing model (see note 32).
2.19 Pension/post retirement obligations
A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of plan assets.
Re-measurements arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity via other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs.
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an expense during the period incurred.
2.20 Revenue recognition
REC Silicon's primary performance obligation is related to sale of goods in which the performance obligations are the delivery of an agreed volume of products within an agreed specification. REC Silicon has both short term and long-term contracts. Spot market sales, normally one month, cover delivery of an agreed volume at market price at the date the order is placed. The short-term contracts cover a period of a few months and up to one year, where the prices normally are fixed within a volume range. REC Silicon also has some long-term frame contracts that cover a period longer than one year. In these contracts the prices are normally negotiated on an annual basis.
Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which REC Silicon expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Control is transferred to the buyer, according to the agreed delivery term for each sale. Delivery terms are based on Incoterms specified within sales contracts. Generally, the main terms are "Ex Works" and "FCA". REC Silicon can receive prepayments in advance of fulfilling contractual obligations for delivering goods. This prepaid revenue is recorded as a liability until such time that revenue is recognized.
The Group recognizes a provision for discounts and expected returns when a discount provisions or a right of return is specified in purchase contracts. The Group recognizes revenue from the sale of goods measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, which includes a provision of allowances for discounts and expected returns.
Goods are normally sold with standard warranties that the goods comply with the agreed-upon specifications. These standard warranties are accounted for using IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. REC Silicon does not have any other significant obligations for returns or refunds.
2.21 Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease exists if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of the costs to dismantle and remove the underlying assets or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
Right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. In addition, right-of-use assets are periodically adjusted for impairment losses, if any, and for certain remeasurements of the associated lease liability.
REC Silicon annual report 2025

Financials | Consolidated financial statements
CONTENTS | YEAR IN BRIEF | THIS IS REC SILICON | BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT | SUSTAINABILITY | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE | FINANCIALS
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments are amortized to interest expense and to reduce the associated lease liability based upon the present value calculation used at inception to determine the lease liability.
Leases of 'low-value' assets and short-term leases (lease terms of 12 months or less) are recognized as expense in profit or loss when incurred.
2.22 Government grants
Government grants are recognized at their fair values when there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and that the Group will comply with attached conditions. Government grants related to assets are presented in the statement of financial position as a reduction to the carrying amount of the assets and reduce depreciation in the statement of income. Government grants relating to income are listed separately under other income.
Government grant assets are recognized for the unsettled portions of grants and are discounted if the effect of discounting is significant. Significant changes to estimates of timing of utilization or discount rates are recognized as a change in the grant asset and offset to production assets or expenses based on the classification at the inception of the grant (see note 21).
2.23 Statement of cash flows
The Group presents the statement of cash flows using the indirect method. Cash inflows and outflows are shown separately for investing and financing activities, while operating activities include both cash and non-cash line items. Interest received and paid are reported as a part of operating activities, except borrowing costs capitalized as part of the construction of a non-current asset that are included in investing activities, and payment of up-front and loan fees that are reported as part of financing activities.
Operating activities include all cash flow effects from derivatives. Currency gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income. Amounts related to borrowing (financing activities), non-current financial assets and investments (investing activities) and unrealized gains or losses on cash and cash equivalents held at the end of the periods are reclassified in a separate line item under operating activities.
Financing activities include the repayment of prepayments received from customers on which interest is calculated.
2.24 Adoption of new and revised standards and interpretations
In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which replaces IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for the presentation of the statement of profit or loss, including defined subtotals and a prescribed structure for classifying income and expenses into operating, investing, and financing categories, while continuing to permit the presentation of expenses by nature. The standard also introduces enhanced disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted.
The Group has commenced an assessment of the impact of IFRS 18 on its consolidated financial statements. IFRS 18 does not affect the recognition or measurement of income or expenses; however, it is expected to impact the presentation of the statement of profit or loss. In particular, the adoption of IFRS 18 is expected to affect the presentation of subtotals such as operating profit and profit before financing and income taxes, as well as the classification of certain income and expense items currently presented within operating results and net financial items.
Based on the preliminary assessment performed to date, the Group does not expect the adoption of IFRS 18 to have a material impact on total profit, equity, or earnings per share. The Group does not intend to early adopt IFRS 18.
The Group is also assessing whether certain subtotals and performance measures currently presented, including EBITDA, meet the definition of management-defined performance measures under IFRS 18 and the related disclosure requirements.

Note 03 Financial risk management
3.1 Financial risk factors
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including currency risk, interest-rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, and others.
The goals for the Group finance policy and the treasury operations are primarily to minimize the risk of financial distress, secure long-term funding, manage currency risk of expected future net cash flows, and manage interest rate risk. The Company's finance policy sets the framework and limits for hedging activities in the Group. It defines risk management objectives, responsibilities, and operational requirements.
The disclosures that are required regarding financial risks below focus on the risks that arise from financial instruments and how they have been managed. Derivative financial instruments may be used to reduce risks from commercial transactions; the existence of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to additional risks.
(A) Currency risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to currency risk. On December 31, 2025, the Group's working capital is a combination of USD and NOK, equity is in NOK, and debt is in USD. Currency risk arises from transactions in currencies other than the Group's reporting currency and cash denominated in NOK. Currency risk relates primarily to a portion of cash balances denominated in NOK.
Net cash flow is defined as the consolidated external cash flows of the Group. The Group's policy provides the ability to hedge external net cash flows with a maximum time horizon of 24 months. The purpose is to reduce the currency risk of expected future net cash flows. The Company manages currency risk on an overall level.
On December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Group did not hold any derivative financial instruments related to mitigating currency risks.
(B) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation and is primarily related to trade receivables and guarantees provided for discontinued operations. The Group maintains policies to ensure that credit is extended to customers with appropriate liquidity and credit histories in combination with requiring guarantees when appropriate.
(C) Liquidity risk and going concern
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due, particularly if planned financing initiatives are not successfully completed. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances, monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and securing access to financing sources sufficient to meet anticipated operating requirements and debt maturities.
Liquidity risk is affected by changes in market conditions, potential claims, operational performance, and uncertainties inherent in assumptions used in financial forecasts. Access to capital markets and external financing may also be affected by general market conditions (see Notes 4, 17 and 30).
As of December 31, 2025, the Group had interest-bearing borrowings of approximately USD 440.0 million, consisting of USD 300.0 million in bank loans and USD 140.0 million in related-party loans. In addition, the Group has an obligation to repay a USD 30.0 million advance payment received under a polysilicon offtake agreement. Substantially all of these obligations
mature within 12 months of the reporting date, although certain amounts are expected to be refinanced or extended. The Group was in full compliance with all financial covenants under its borrowing agreements as of December 31, 2025, and no events of default or breaches had occurred at that date.
Financing activities and refinancing plans
The Company is currently executing a fully underwritten rights issue expected to raise gross proceeds of approximately USD 100 million, targeted for completion in April 2026. Net proceeds are intended to be used for the repayment of the USD 30 million offtake prepayment obligation, repayment of approximately USD 40 million of existing debt facilities, and general corporate purposes and working capital
In January 2026, the Company obtained an additional USD 10 million short-term loan from Anchor AS. In addition, the maturity of the USD 110.0 million loan from Hanwha International LLC has been extended to January 24, 2027. The Company is also engaged in ongoing discussions with lenders and the Hanwha Group regarding extensions of other loan facilities and related guarantees.
Going concern assessment
The Group is not expected to generate sufficient operating cash flow over the next twelve months to meet its obligations as they fall due without additional financing. Accordingly, the Group's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional funding, including completion of the planned equity offering, extension or refinancing of existing borrowings, and continued financial support from its largest shareholder, Hanwha.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT
SUSTAINABILITY
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
FINANCIALS
If sufficient financing is not obtained, the Group estimates it would not have adequate working capital to support operations during the second quarter of 2026. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management has prepared cash flow forecasts for 2026 reflecting expected operating performance, planned cost-reduction measures, anticipated financing actions, and available support from related parties. Based on these forecasts and ongoing financing initiatives, management and the Board of Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Basis of preparation
While a material uncertainty exists related to the matters described above, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business.
(D) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its variable-rate borrowings. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had USD 440.0 million in outstanding borrowings that bear interest at a floating rate indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate "SOFR" plus an applicable margin.
Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations in SOFR, which impact the Company's future cash flows and earnings. The Company does not currently designate any interest rate derivatives as hedging instruments and therefore is fully exposed to variability in cash flows associated with changes in market interest rates
Interest income and interest expense in the statement of income, as well as interest receipts and payments, are influenced by interest rate changes for financial instruments that carry variable interest rates. See note 30 for interest rate sensitivity.
(E) Hedging of risk related to supply of raw material/commodities
When the Group is exposed to changes in the total costs from specific input factors it may hedge the associated risk. As of year-end no hedges were in place.
3.2 Fair value estimation
Fair value estimation is discussed in notes 9 and 30.
3.3 Capital structure and financing
In determining the appropriate capital structure for the Group, various factors have been considered. These include risks associated with the Group's business profile and the fact that the polysilicon production has high capital intensity.
The Group's goal is to maintain sufficient capital to maintain current operating cash flow requirements and to meet debt service obligations.

Note 04 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
4.1 Critical judgments in applying the Group's accounting policies
Management's judgments in applying the Group's accounting policies which have the most significant effect on the financial statements are discussed below and in the relevant notes.
(A) Functional currencies
The Group's presentation currency is USD. The functional currencies of REC Silicon AS and REC Solar AS are NOK. The functional currency of all other group companies is USD. The activities of the Group are primarily in the subsidiaries in the USA. Functional currency affects the reporting of currency gains and losses and exchange differences as well as hedging strategies and effects. Future changes in facts or circumstances may affect this assessment.
(B) Cash-generating units for impairment testing
The selection of cash generating units for impairment testing is a critical and difficult judgement. For impairment testing REC Silicon consisted of two cash generating units.
(C) Environmental liability
The Group's operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations and their interpretations are subject to change. Changes may require investment and/or increased costs to meet more stringent standards or to take remedial actions related to past activities. The Company has reported a provision for asset retirement obligations (AROs) associated with the eventual cleanup and restoration of the Company's manufacturing sites in the United States (note 20).
(D) Discontinued operations
Following the cessation of polysilicon production at the Moses Lake facility on December 30, 2024, the Moses Lake segment is presented as discontinued operations. Management exercises judgment in determining which costs are directly attributable to the discontinued operations and which relate to ongoing activities, including costs associated with facility maintenance, asset preservation, and site support functions.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the reporting date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. These estimates are based on historical experience and other factors considered reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Management evaluates such estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.
4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty – critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain amounts included in or affecting the Group's financial statements and related disclosures must be estimated, requiring management to make assumptions with respect to values or conditions which cannot be known with certainty at the time the financial statements are prepared.
(A) Impairments and bad debt provisions
Changes in facts and in management's evaluations and assumptions may give rise to further impairment losses, or reversals. The estimated recoverable amounts of the Group's assets are sensitive to small changes to key assumptions. The Company uses internal business plans that include estimates on raw material and energy prices, discount rates, and external market and industry analysis. There could be changes in environmental regulations impacting the company going forward, but no related legislation has been passed at the current time that is expected to impact the group. (notes 6,7 and and 8).
Financial assets are also periodically reviewed for impairment. Provisions for losses on trade receivables have been made using a provision matrix based on the Group's historical credit loss experience adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. Actual losses may turn out significantly different from the evaluations made based on the knowledge and assumptions at the time of approving the accounts.
(B) Asset retirement obligations
The company has an obligation for eventual cleanup of its manufacturing operations in Moses Lake, Washington and Butte Montana. Changes in facts and in management's evaluations and assumptions may give rise to changes in provisions for asset retirement obligations (AROs). Provisions may change due to changes in amounts or timing of estimated expenditures to restore production sites or changes in governmental regulations governing restoration requirements. The restoration of production sites is subject to significant uncertainty due to variability in restoration requirements that may be imposed by regulatory authorities as well as timing of the restoration. In addition, estimates of provisions are sensitive to changes in discount rates used to calculate provisions for AROs reported by the Group. (note 20)

1 Net additions include transfers from assets under construction.
2 Impairment for discontinued operations recorded in 2024 is related to the write down of assets in the solar materials segment because of the announced exit from the granular polysilicon business line. Impairment of discontinued operations for assets under construction is related to the Moses Lake restart project that remained in under construction as the facility had not reached a condition capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Specification of useful lives and depreciation
At year-end 2025, estimated useful lives by asset class were as follows:
- Land not depreciated
- Buildings 15-31 years
- Machinery and equipment 5-31
- Other tangible fixed assets 3-30 years
Assets under construction are not yet ready for their intended use or have not reached a condition capable of operating in the manner intended by management and depreciation has not started.
While some assets remain in service after they are fully depreciated, this reflects physical durability and maintenance practices, not an extension of the period over which the assets are expected to generate economic benefits.
Reviews of estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment for 2025 and 2024 resulted in only minor changes.

Lease modifications during 2025 primarily relate to contractual increases in lease payments tied to economic indices, as well as a modification to extend one gas plant lease in order to cancel another. Management applies judgment in determining the lease term for certain lease arrangements when contracts include extension or termination provisions. In particular, judgment was required in assessing the lease term for the gas plant extension.

Note 08 Impairments of cash-generating units
REC Silicon routinely monitors assets for indications that the carrying values of assets are no longer recoverable. If impairment indicators exist, impairment tests will be carried out to determine whether the carrying value of affected assets can be justified. If estimates conclude that asset values are no longer recoverable, the assets are written down to the recoverable amount which is the greater of fair value less cost to sell and value in use (discounted cash flows).
Cash-generating units
REC Silicon consisted of two cash generating units on December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Management has performed an evaluation of the Company's operations and determined that the Group consisted of two cash generating units (CGUs) based upon the Company's operations and management structures. This determination included consideration for segment reporting which includes segments for Butte and Moses Lake which were determined by management to represent the smallest units for which cash flows can be reasonably determined. Net Costs associated with Other have been allocated to the individual CGUs based upon estimated activity, volume, and revenue factors.
Summary of impairment tests
REC Silicon's management has continuously assessed impairment indicators, considering both factors related to the company and the markets in which it operates, as well as current transactions and events. Management has determined that the decreasing useful life of assets, recurring net losses and changes to the discount rate, are sufficient to indicate a potential change in the valuation of the long-lived assets of the Butte CGU. Polysilicon production at the Moses Lake CGU was discontinued in 2024 and the facility was fully impaired as of December 31, 2024. There was no reversal of impairment for the Moses Lake CGU during 2025.
Impairment testing for the Butte CGU was conducted as of December 31, 2025.
The carrying value of the Butte CGU was USD 76.3 million as of December 31, 2025. The analysis conducted estimates the net present value (NPV) of the CGU, including the deduction of lease liabilities, to exceed the carrying value of the Butte CGU and no impairment is necessary. REC Silicon management believes that the assumptions in this analysis are reasonable and represent their best estimate of the results the Butte CGU will achieve for the periods presented.
Basis for the impairment tests
The calculation reflects the expected development in the cost of emission quotas based on the current regulatory framework. There could be changes in environmental regulations impacting the company going forward, but no related legislation has been passed at the current time that is expected to impact the group. The impairment assessment is based on the expectation that any increase in cost due to new legislation will be covered by increased sales prices.
Recoverable amounts for each cash-generating unit subject to impairment testing are based on value in use. Value in use has been estimated using discounted cash flows over a 5-year period. The terminal value is based on a normalized cash flow.
Future cash flows are estimated based on the budget for the next year and the subsequent five forecast years. The terminal value is based on a normalized cash flow. A growth rate of one percent has been used during the terminal period. EBITDA less capital expenditures and changes in working capital have been used to estimate future cash flows.
Assets under construction for which investment has been committed are included with estimated expenditures to complete and estimated cash flows from their operations.
The carrying amounts of cash-generating units include tangible fixed assets, right of use assets, intangible assets, and net working capital only.
Discount rate
The discount rate used for this analysis was prepared by an independent third-party valuation specialist. This discount rate was prepared on a basis consistent with its status as a standalone company with the majority of it cash flows generated in the US but with its stakeholders located in Norway. The methodology to arrive at this estimate has not changed from that used by the Company for prior periods.
The discount rate used for this analysis is 14.13%. This rate was estimated using the entity's after tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as a starting point. The study resulted in a range from 11.92% to 16.33%. Management selected 14.13% as it reflects the midpoint of the range and best represents the risk profile. REC management believes that the discount rates are reasonable for use in this analysis. The discount rates used on December 31, 2025 and 2024 are reflected in the table below:
Discount rates (%)
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Post-tax | Pre-tax | Post-tax | Pre-tax | |
| Butte CGU | 14.1 | 16.3 | 13.1 | 15.0 |

Key assumptions and sensitivities
Key assumptions used in the impairment assessment for the Butte segment include expected increases in silicon gas sales volumes in the United States driven by new semiconductor fabrication capacity coming online, as well as anticipated demand from battery manufacturers.
Management considered uncertainty in the future business environment, including slower growth in the electric vehicle market and adjustments in investment levels across the battery industry, particularly as they relate to the timing and magnitude of expected demand. A key source of estimation uncertainty is therefore the timing and level of future sales volumes from these customers.
As of December 31, 2025, the value in use of the Butte CGU exceeded its carrying amount by approximately USD 60 million.
To assess the impact of this uncertainty, management performed sensitivity analyses and evaluated downside scenarios, including reductions in projected revenues and delays in expected volume ramp-up from key customers. Across all scenarios considered, the recoverable amount remained in excess of the carrying amount.
Management does not expect that reasonably possible changes in key assumptions would result in an impairment.
The following table represents the estimated change in value in use for the CGU due to an isolated change in the key assumption for all years. Spending includes variable manufacturing costs, fixed manufacturing costs, selling general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures in total. All sensitivities are calculated independently of each other. The estimates are based on the assumptions used in the December 31, 2025 impairment analysis.
Sensitivities for 2025
| Butte CGU
USD in million | Change | Estimated change
in value in use |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Post-tax discount rate | +/-1% point | -11.3/+13.1 |
| Sales prices | +/-2% | +/-18.0 |
| Volume (production and sales) | +/-2% | +/-12.7 |
| Spending | +/-2% | -/+10.0 |
Negative amounts represent an estimated decrease in the value in use.

Note 11 Discontinued operations
On December 30, 2024, the Company announced the cessation of polysilicon production at its Moses Lake, Washington facility.
Production of granular polysilicon at Moses Lake has been discontinued. Equipment used in the production of silicon gases continues to be maintained in a safe and recoverable condition that allows for restart with reasonable notice and minimal interim cost.
Following the shutdown announcement, the Company initiated a process to remove materials from production systems, which continued through early March 2025. Costs of USD 10.2 million incurred through completion of this process were directly attributable to the discontinued business line and are therefore presented within discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent to completion of the cleanout process, the Company incurred approximately USD 10.8 million of costs related to maintaining the silane gas plants in a non-operating state. These activities are not directly attributable to the discontinued granular polysilicon operations and are therefore classified within continuing operations.
The Moses Lake facility has an annual silane gas capacity of approximately 24,000 MT for internal use. Additional investment would be required for commercial external supply. The silane facilities will continue to be maintained in a safe and recoverable condition.
The following statement of income is an analysis of discontinued operation.

On October 14, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Grant County, Washington settling its property tax dispute for tax years 2012 through 2015. REC Silicon agreed to pay Grant County USD 3.0 million by December 15, 2020, and USD 1.75 million each year for the next six years. The settlement resulted in the recognition of a note payable using an interest rate of 11.5 percent used to impute the value of the liability. The note is effectively secured, as a matter of law, by the real property at the Moses Lake plant. On December 31, 2025, the remaining fair value of the property tax note was USD 1.6 million. Total remaining undiscounted payments on the property tax note are USD 1.75 million.
On December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company had complied with all financial covenants and other restrictions in the loan agreements. Covenants include maintaining financial records in accordance with US GAAP for which waivers have been obtained for 2024. Waivers are expected to be obtained for 2025 prior to the due date. Covenants restrict mergers, consolidations, or asset transfers unless preapproved. Covenants also restrict additional debt beyond permitted thresholds without preapproval. Covenants restrict pledging assets as collateral except for permitted liens.

For information regarding provisions see note 20. For information regarding retirement benefit obligations see note 19.
The differences between carrying amounts and total expected payments in the tables above are due to the effect of discounting. All cash flows are undiscounted.
With the exception of the Grant County WA tax settlement note, all of the Group's outstanding debt bears interest at rates linked to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus an applicable margin. Accordingly, increases in benchmark interest rates directly increase the Group's financing costs and cash outflows. Based on December 31, 2025 debt levels, a 1 percentage point increase in interest rates would increase annual interest expense by approximately USD 4.4 million, while a corresponding decrease would have an equivalent opposite effect.

The deferred tax asset in the United States was generated due to net operating losses on a tax basis, the accelerated reversal of book to tax differences for depreciation caused by the recognition of impairment (financial statement only), and other taxable temporary differences which are expected to reverse on a more definite schedule. The deferred tax asset in the United States associated with net operating losses was USD 226.1 million on December 31, 2025 includes USD 122.9 million associated with net operating losses generated in 2017 and prior years which expire between 2031 and 2037. Deferred tax assets of USD 103.2 million are due to net operating losses generated after 2017 which do not expire.
In the United States, in the event of a change in the ultimate company's ownership, utilization of net operating losses and tax credit carry forwards are subject to certain limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. During 2025, the Company updated a study that was completed in 2023, and the table above represents the results of the study.
The deferred tax asset in Norway was generated due to net operating losses on a tax basis and other taxable temporary differences which are expected to reverse on a more definite schedule. The Norwegian Tax office has notified REC Silicon ASA that they consider to change the company's income tax assessment for the years 2019-2022. The basis for this notification is an ongoing tax audit relating to whether interest should have been charged on loans provided from REC Silicon ASA to Rec Silicon Inc. and Rec Solar Grade Silicon LLC. As a temporary measure, due to the financial situation in these subsidiaries, the company has not charged interest on the loans in the period under tax audit. The company has responded to the tax office's notification and the company maintains its view that the subsidiaries have not had debt bearing capacity in this period. The company has not recognized any deferred tax asset relating to its tax losses carry forward.
Deferred tax assets have not been recognized due to requirements in IAS 12 for convincing evidence of available future taxable income to offset prior tax losses. In Norway, net operating losses do not expire.
Note 19 Retirement benefit obligations and expenses
The cost of defined pension benefit plans is expensed in the period that the employee renders services and becomes eligible to receive benefits. The cost of defined contribution plans is expensed as contributions become payable.
REC Silicon has an employer-sponsored defined contribution retirement plan (401 (k)) for employees in the United States. The REC Silicon subsidiary REC Advanced Silicon Materials LLC (ASiMI) in the United States had defined benefit plans at the time it was acquired in 2005. At that time, these plans were frozen, and no future benefits are accruing to the members of the plans. Previous pension rights remain unchanged and are fully vested. The following tables for defined benefit plans are related to Advanced Silicon Materials LLC only.
For defined benefit plans, the plan assets and the projected benefit obligations were measured on December 31, 2025 and 2024. An independent actuary performed actuarial calculations. The present value of the projected defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
Defined benefit plans
| USD in million | 2025 | 2024 |

The plan assets relate to one of three ASiMI plans and are currently invested in a mix of 38% equity funds and 62% fixed income funds.

The amounts recognized in the statement of income are as follows

|---|---|---|
| Total contribution expenses (see note 24) | 1.9 | 3.8 |
| Net interest expense | 0.2 | 0.4 |

| Total remeasurements (gains (-)/losses (+)) on gross retirement benefit obligations | 0.6 | -2.8 |
| Return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in interest | -1.2 | -0.1 |
| Total remeasurements (gains (-)/losses (+)) recognized through Other Comprehensive Income | -0.6 | -2.9 |
During 2025 the effects of changes in assumptions were due to a decrease in discount rate and changes in financial and demographic assumptions for the ASiMI plans.
The cumulative re-measurement loss recognized to equity through other comprehensive income was USD 13.2 million before income taxes on December 31, 2025. Of this, a loss of USD 13.2 million was related to ASiMI (excluding translation difference).
On December 31, 2025, the mortality table was based on Pri-2012 total dataset base rate mortality table with projected generationally using MP-2021. The Society of Actuaries (SOA) is an actuarial organization that periodically reviews mortality data and publishes mortality tables and improvement scales. In October 2019, the SOA released the Pri-2012 Mortality Tables for private-sector retirement plans in the U.S. The Pri-2012 report contains different sets of mortality tables based on complete dataset or various subsets. The Total dataset base rate table was selected.
The principal actuarial assumptions used to determine retirement benefit obligations on December 31
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 5.35 | 5.50 |
| Future salary increases | NA | NA |
| Future pension increases | NA | NA |
| Future increase in social security base amount | NA | NA |
| Future turnover | NA | NA |
The assumptions used to determine the benefit cost for the year are determined at the beginning of the year. The expected return for the ASiMI plans equals the discount rate.
The expected remaining service life until retirement for participants of the defined benefit obligation for the ASiMI plans are approximately 7.3 years at both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Pension premiums of USD 0.5 million are expected to be paid during 2026 to the ASiMI defined benefit plans.
The maturity profile includes the weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligations and includes items such as timing of the benefit payments. The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 11 years at both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
For the ASiMI benefit plans, a one percentage point increase (decrease) in discount rate is estimated to decrease (increase) the pension obligation by approximately USD 2.7/(3.2) million on December 31, 2025.

Current provisions
The Company has recorded a provision for employee termination benefits in the amount of USD 0.3 million. Payments to impacted employees is expected to take place during the first half of 2026.
Non-current provisions
During 2025 the Company recorded a decreased provision for asset retirement obligations (ARO) of USD 1.5 million. This was primarily due to a change in estimated cleanup costs. On December 31, 2025, the Company has recorded USD 26.4 million in AROs. These obligations consist of USD 3.0 million to restore leased wastewater containment ponds to conditions specified in the lease agreement and USD 23.4 million for the eventual cleanup of the Company's manufacturing operations in Moses Lake, Washington and Butte, Montana.
Estimates are sensitive to changes in discount rates used to calculate provisions for AROs. On December 31, 2025, a one percent increase to the discount rates would decrease the provision by USD 6.6 million, while a one percent decrease to the discount rates would increase the provision by USD 9.1 million.
On December 31, 2025, the AROs represent the present value of estimated future costs discounted at 4.5 percent for 3 years for the wastewater containment ponds. The restoration of the production sites is discounted at 6.0 percent for 34.5 years. Total undiscounted amounts were USD 3.4 million for the ponds, and 171.7 million for the production sites.
On December 31, 2024, the AROs represent the present value of estimated future costs discounted at 5.2 percent for 4 years for the wastewater containment ponds. The restoration of the production sites is discounted at 6.0 percent for 35.5 years. Total undiscounted amounts were USD 3.7 million for the ponds, and 183.9 million for the production sites.
The asset retirement obligation reflects management's estimate of the costs required to remediate the site and safely remove and dispose of hazardous materials in accordance with applicable environmental requirements in effect at the reporting date. While future changes in environmental or climate-related regulations could impact the Company, no enacted legislation as of the reporting date is expected to have a material effect on the Group.
Note 21 Government grants
The Group had no government grant receivables as of December 31, 2025 or 2024, and no government grant income was recognized in either year.

| Total receivables | 16.2 | 11.8 | 4.3 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 |
The provision for doubtful accounts includes the impact of expected credit losses (ECL) based upon historical experience. The Company has prepared analyses to calculate an ECL estimated at 0.20 percent of sales. However, because expected credit losses are low and accounts receivable consists of relatively large outstanding balances, use of the ECL to record credit losses at the time of sale would result in provisions for losses on trade receivables that are collected. Therefore, the Company uses the ECL rate as a guideline and evaluates the potential that balances will not be received based upon days outstanding, customer payment histories, and other information regarding past due balances. In general, provisions are recorded for accounts which are greater than 60 days past due unless there is a clear indication that payment will be received.
On December 31, 2025, no receivables were secured by bank guarantees. 2024, approximately 2 percent.
Sensitivities

Note 31 Claims, disputes, contingent liabilities and contingent assets and risks
The Group is involved in legal disputes in the ordinary course of business. Provisions are recognized for the expected outcomes in accordance with applicable accounting rules. Provisions are based on Group Management's estimate of likely outcomes based on prior experience, the source, and the facts and circumstances of a claim. The final outcomes of such disputes and litigation are subject to significant uncertainty and actual outcomes may vary from provisions recognized. Provisions are adjusted to reflect the most recent facts and circumstances.
Risk Factors
Macroeconomic, geopolitical and industry risk
Uncertainties and downturns in the global economy, including recession, inflation, interest rate volatility, currency fluctuations, and other macroeconomic factors could materially and adversely affect the Group's business. The Group has previously experienced significant operational challenges due to adverse market conditions.
Economic downturns can lead to reduced demand for advanced silicon products, pricing pressure, and constraints on capital availability. Additionally, geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, and protectionist policies, such as tariffs and export restrictions, can disrupt supply chains, limit market access, and negatively impact the Group's competitive position.
Market disruptions can have adverse consequences for the Group's liquidity and financial flexibility. Prolonged periods of adverse market conditions may impair the Group's ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations. Consequently, any adverse market disruptions could materially affect the Group's business, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Trade barriers, trade restrictions, and unfair trade practices have had, and continue to have, a significant negative impact on the Group's ability to sell its products on attractive terms and to maintain sales volumes. The tariff environment presents both challenges and opportunities for the Group, with potential effects on cost structure as well as market access. Customers often seek alternative sources of supply when trade barriers impose an excessive burden on the supply chain, particularly when the associated risks exceed the normal costs of doing business.
Operational risk
The Group's production processes involve the manufacturing, processing, storage, use, handling, distribution, and transport of silane gas and other explosive or hazardous substances. Accidents or mishandling involving these materials could result in property damage, personal injury, operational disruptions, and significant liabilities or remediation costs. A catastrophic event at the silane gas production facilities in Butte could materially reduce production capacity for an extended period. In addition, interruptions in the supply of critical materials, utilities, or services could disrupt operations and adversely affect production levels.
The Group's manufacturing operations, particularly at the Butte facility, are energy intensive and therefore exposed to fluctuations in energy prices and availability. Sustained increases in energy costs or supply constraints could adversely affect operating margins and production economics.
Although the Group maintains insurance coverage for certain risks, such coverage may not be sufficient to offset all losses or liabilities that could arise from operational incidents, supply disruptions, or energy market volatility. Any such events could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial position, results of operations, and prospects.
Liquidity risk
The Group is not expected to generate sufficient operating cash flow to support operations and meet upcoming debt repayments over the next twelve months. Accordingly, there is significant uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to secure sufficient funding to sustain operations and satisfy its obligations as they fall due without continued support from its largest shareholder, Hanwha, or access to additional sources of capital.
Based on current forecasts, the Group estimates that, absent additional financing, it would no longer have sufficient working capital to support operations during the second quarter of 2026. The Company's ability to continue operations is therefore significantly dependent on the successful execution of its financing initiatives, including completion of the announced share offering. If sufficient funding or continued support is not obtained, the Company may be required to curtail or cease operations, default on its debt obligations, or pursue insolvency proceedings, which could result in significant losses for shareholders, including the potential loss of all or substantially all of their investment.

As of January 31, 2026, the Group's interest-bearing loans totalled USD 450.0 million, consisting of USD 300 million in bank loans and USD 150 million in related-party loans. In addition, the Group has an obligation to repay a USD 30 million advance payment received under a polysilicon offtake agreement. Although the repayment date was originally January 2026, the parties have reached an agreement in principle to extend the payment date to January 2027. Substantially all of these liabilities are due within the next twelve months. The Group's ability to continue operations is dependent on the successful execution of its financing plans. (see notes 7,17, 29 and 33 to the consolidated financial statements).
Credit risk
Credit risk primarily relates to trade receivables and guarantees issued in connection with discontinued operations. For trade receivables, sources of credit risk include concentrations by geography, industry, and customer, as well as collection risk. The Group maintains policies and procedures to manage credit risk, including, where appropriate, obtaining collateral or other credit enhancements. Credit risk exposure may be affected by market conditions and customer-specific developments.
Climate risk
The Company considers climate-related matters in areas where they may reasonably affect its operations, financial reporting estimates, or assumptions. Management monitors energy consumption, water usage, greenhouse gas emissions, emerging regulatory requirements, and relevant market developments, and evaluates whether these factors could affect financial statement line items, including environmental and asset retirement obligations. Based on information currently available, no material impacts have been identified for the current reporting period. The Company will continue to monitor these developments and incorporate them into its estimates and disclosures as appropriate.
Note 32 Share-based compensation
The share-based incentive program is intended to award and incentivize outstanding performance by eligible employees and to attract and retain strong talent in business-critical functions.
The synthetic options under this Program entitle the holder to receive a cash payment equivalent to the difference between a specific number of options multiplied by the strike price for such options and the same number of REC shares multiplied by the weighted average market price of REC shares on the disbursement dates. The options entitlement does not need to be exercised by any action by the eligible employee and will be automatically disbursed by REC following the applicable disbursement date for such year.
The cash payment is limited to a maximum amount in each calendar year. The maximum amount is each employee's base salary effective January 1 in the year of the relevant disbursement date.
The value of unvested options is calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model and may not match actual payments made depending upon the market value of the Company's stock on the exercise date. During 2025 zero share options were granted. In 2020 and 2021, 1,200,000 share options were granted to certain key employees. The first three years are a lock-up period. The vesting of the options for eligible employees will take place in equal parts after the third, fourth and fifth years of each program, on each June 30 of each year. The options were granted at a strike price of NOK 3.5 in 2020, and 17.5 in 2021. Any unexercised options are forfeited upon termination of employment, unless the employee retires, in which case options are maintained.
Fair values are estimated each reporting date using the Black-Scholes option price model.

Differences between the number of options granted for each year and the number of outstanding options in the table above are due to options that have been forfeited upon termination of employment, and by options exercised. Options forfeited during 2025 and 2024 were 316,684 and zero respectively. During 2025 the total amount of shares exercised were zero and 263,101 options from program year 2020 expired.
The amount recognized in the statement of income for share-based compensation was a credit of USD 0.1 million during 2025 and a credit of USD 0.7 million during 2024. Liabilities related to share-based compensation are measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and may differ from actual cash payments, which depend on the market value of the Company's shares at the exercise date. No cash payments were made during 2025, while cash payments of USD 0.1 million were made in 2024. All remaining awards are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026, and as of December 31, 2025, the remaining awards had zero fair value.
Note 33 Events after the reporting period
Short-term loan — Anchor AS
On January 19, 2026, REC Silicon ASA entered into an unsecured USD 10.0 million short-term loan agreement with Anchor AS to fund near-term operating liquidity needs. The terms of the facility are consistent with those of the USD 13.0 million loan agreement between the same parties dated November 13, 2025. The loan matures on July 19, 2026.
Extension of loan — Hanwha International LLC
On January 26, 2026, REC Silicon Inc. executed a fifth amendment to its existing USD 110.0 million short-term loan facility with Hanwha International LLC, extending the maturity date to January 24, 2027. The facility was originally entered into on January 24, 2025 and previously amended during 2025.
Proposed rights issue
On February 9, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors intends to propose a fully underwritten rights issue to be approved at an extraordinary general meeting, with expected gross proceeds of approximately NOK 972.6 million. Net proceeds are intended to be used to strengthen liquidity, including repayment of approximately USD 70 million of existing obligations and for general corporate purposes and working capital. The rights issue is fully underwritten by Anchor AS, the Company's largest shareholder.
Geopolitical developments — Middle East
Subsequent to the reporting period, geopolitical tensions and armed conflicts in the Middle East have continued to evolve. The Group does not have operations or material direct exposure in Iran or other areas directly affected by the conflicts.
While the Group has not experienced any direct operational impacts to date, continued escalation could affect global energy markets, supply chains, financial markets, or broader economic conditions, which could indirectly impact the Group's operations, costs, or financial performance. The Group continues to monitor developments and assess potential implications for its business.

REC Silicon ASA owns all the shares in REC Silicon AS which owns REC Silicon Inc. that is the holding company of the USA operations. In addition, REC Silicon AS owns all the shares in REC Silicon Pte Ltd.
REC Silicon AS shares in REC Silicon Inc, were impaired to zero in 2016. In 2025 the shares in REC Silicon AS has increased with USD 167,198 due to capital increase in REC Silicon AS during 2025. The amount of USD 167,198 has in 2025 been impaired in the shares of REC Silicon AS.
The impairment loss in 2025 and in 2024 represents the book value in excess of the fair value of loans to REC Silicon ASA's subsidiaries and the book value in excess of the fair value of the shares in REC Silicon AS.
Estimates of the value of US operations were calculated using the fair values of financial assets and liabilities held by the US entities and the net present value of cash flows of operations in the United States. Key assumptions in the model are represented by among other factors, the future sales volumes and prices relating to the company's strategy for future investments and production and also the credit risk of the receivable has been taken into consideration when estimating the value in use. Management of the company has thoroughly reviewed all the assumptions presented in the model, and believe the model is reasonable and represent the best estimate for the future values that the company will achieve during in the specified future period for the model. However, the estimated values include judgement from management and may represent uncertainty as the factors put in the model consist of both observable factors in the market, historical assumptions and estimates.

REC Silicon ASA did not conduct any activities associated with research and development during 2025 and 2024.

Note R Events after the reporting period
Short-term loan — Anchor AS
On January 19, 2026, REC Silicon ASA entered into an unsecured USD 10.0 million short-term loan agreement with Anchor AS to fund near-term operating liquidity needs. The terms of the facility are consistent with those of the USD 13.0 million loan agreement between the same parties dated November 13, 2025. The loan matures on July 19, 2026.
Extension of loan — Hanwha International LLC
On January 26, 2026, REC Silicon Inc. executed a fifth amendment to its existing USD 110.0 million short-term loan facility with Hanwha International LLC, extending the maturity date to January 24, 2027. The facility was originally entered into on January 24, 2025 and previously amended during 2025.
Proposed rights issue
On February 9, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors intends to propose a fully underwritten rights issue to be approved at an extraordinary general meeting, with expected gross proceeds of approximately NOK 972.6 million. Net proceeds are intended to be used to strengthen liquidity, including repayment of approximately USD 70 million of existing obligations and for general corporate purposes and working capital. The rights issue is fully underwritten by Anchor AS, the Company's largest shareholder.
Geopolitical developments — Middle East
Subsequent to the reporting period, geopolitical tensions and armed conflicts in the Middle East have continued to evolve. The Group does not have operations or material direct exposure in Iran or other areas directly affected by the conflicts.
While the Company has not experienced any direct operational impacts to date, continued escalation could affect global energy markets, supply chains, financial markets, or broader economic conditions, which could indirectly impact the Group's operations, costs, or financial performance. The Company continues to monitor developments and assess potential implications for its business.
Note S Going concern
As of the date of these financial statements, the Company does not have sufficient available cash to meet debt service and other anticipated operating requirements without additional financing. Management therefore acknowledges that additional sources of capital will be required for the Company to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company is actively pursuing financing initiatives, including securing additional funding, refinancing existing debt facilities, and pursuing the sale of non-core assets. In addition, the Company is in the process of completing an equity offering that is expected to close in early second quarter of 2026 and is anticipated to generate net proceeds of approximately USD 100 million. While this transaction is expected to materially strengthen the Group's liquidity position, its completion remains subject to customary conditions.
Based on current forecasts, operating cash flow generated from the Butte facility, together with planned financing actions, is expected to support liquidity requirements during 2026. However, the Company and the Group is not expected to generate sufficient operating cash flow over the next twelve months to meet its obligations as they fall due without obtaining additional financing.
These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Group's ability to continue operations is dependent on the successful execution of its financing plans and continued support from its largest shareholder, Hanwha.
In forming its conclusion, management and the Board have considered cash flow forecasts, available mitigating actions, and financial support historically provided by related parties, including guarantees and shareholder loans. Based on this assessment, the Board considers it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. This conclusion is dependent on the successful execution of the financing initiatives described above and the continued support of lenders and shareholders.
The Board will continue to monitor the Group's liquidity position and financing activities closely and will take further actions as necessary to preserve financial stability.

To the General Meeting of Rec Silicon ASA
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Rec Silicon ASA, which comprise:
- The financial statements of the parent company Rec Silicon ASA (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2025, the income statement and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
- The consolidated financial statements of Rec Silicon ASA and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, statement of income, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion
- the financial statements comply with applicable statutory requirements,
- the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2025, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and
- the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2025, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU.
Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the Audit Committee.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non-audit services referred to in the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided.
We have been the auditor of Rec Silicon ASA for 2 years from the election by the general meeting of the shareholders on 14 May 2024 for the accounting year 2024.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to note 3.1, in the financial statement of the Group and note 5 in the financial statements of the Company and the Board of Directors' report, in which the management describes the uncertainties to the group and the company's operations and funding facilities. These uncertainties, along with other matters as set forth in notes and the Board of Directors' report indicate that a

material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole,
and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment (PP&E) in the Butte segment
| Description of the Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in the audit |
|---|---|
| As disclosed in note 8 the carrying amount of PP&E for the Butte segment amounted to USD 76.3 million as at 31 December 2025. | |
| As disclosed in note 8, the value in use calculation requires management to make significant estimates and assumption related to future revenues, profit margins, costs and capital employment. The outcome of impairment assessments may vary significantly, dependent on the assumptions applied. | |
| Due to the significant judgment involved in determining the assumptions used in the testing for impairment of PP&E we have assessed this to be a Key Audit Matter. | Our audit procedures included the following: |
| • We evaluated relevant controls associated with management's impairment process. | |
| • We tested the methodology applied to estimate recoverable amount against the requirements of IAS 36, Impairment of assets. | |
| • We obtained an understanding of and assessed the basis for the key assumptions for the estimated cash flows. | |
| • We challenged the key assumptions used in the estimation of cash flow including the growth rate. | |
| • With the assistance of our internal fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the weighted average cost of capital and the mathematical accuracy of management's impairment model. | |
| • We also assessed the adequacy of information provided in note 8 in the financial statements. |

Non-current receivables from subsidiaries
| Description of the Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in the audit |
|---|---|
| As disclosed in note M in the parent company's financial statement, the parent company has recognized non-current receivables from subsidiaries of USD 47.4 million. The non-current receivables shall be written down to their fair value in the case of a decline in value that is not expected to be temporary. |
Net impairment losses of USD 88.3 million were recognized in the year ended 31 December 2025.
The fair value estimation is highly judgmental and changes in assumptions could have a material impact on the impairment recognized.
The fair value calculation is based on estimate of assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset, including assumptions about credit risk.
Due to the significant judgment involved in determining the fair value of the non-current receivables from subsidiaries we have assessed this to be a Key Audit Matter. | Our audit procedures included the following:
• We evaluated relevant controls associated with the determination of the fair value.
• We assessed and challenged the Company's methodology to determine whether the relevant accounting regulation had been complied with.
• We challenged management's key assumptions used in estimating the fair value, specifically the estimate in relation to the market capitalization of the company and the current market conditions.
• With the assistance of our internal fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the weighted average cost of capital and the mathematical accuracy of management's fair value model.
• We considered the adequacy of the disclosures provided in note M in the parent financial statements. |
Other Information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the information in the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The other information comprises information in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information in the Board of Directors' report nor the other information accompanying the financial statements.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The purpose is to consider if there is material inconsistency between the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements and the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or whether the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements otherwise appear to be materially misstated. We are required to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board of Directors' report

or the other information accompanying the financial statements. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors' report
- is consistent with the financial statements and
- contains the information required by applicable statutory requirements.
Our statement on the Board of Directors' report applies correspondingly to the statement on Corporate Governance.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU. Management is responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. The financial statements of the Company use the going concern basis of accounting insofar as it is not likely that the enterprise will cease operations. The financial statements of the Group use the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. We design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and the Group's internal control.
- evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.
- obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated
in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Report on Compliance with Requirement on European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)
Opinion
As part of the audit of the financial statements of Rec Silicon ASA, we have performed an assurance engagement to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements included in the annual report, with the file name 549300VFZURYDFG0A860-2025-12-31-1-en.zip, have been prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the requirements of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) and regulation pursuant to Section 5-5 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements, included in the annual report, have been prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF regulation.
