9M 2015 – HIGHLIGHTS
- The first nine months of 2015 was characterized by
-
- the successful sale of PNE WIND UK to Brookfield
-
- the continuation of our on and offshore development activities in Germany and abroad and
-
- the continued development of our new YieldCo business model.
- 119.8 MW of German onshore projects under construction or commissioned YieldCo project Chransdorf with 57.6 MW began operations in third quarter of 2015
- International activities well underway UK business (100%) sold for up to GBP 103 million of which GBP 40 million has been paid. Successful in the first UK tender and projects in Poland, South Africa and Turkey are now being prepared for upcoming tenders
- Total performance at EUR 189.5 million vs. EUR 201.5 million during first nine months of 2015. Build out of YieldCo leads to lower revenues at EUR 80.5 million (prior year EUR 184.1 million) and rise in work in progress. Sales in 2015 primarily driven by UK transaction, WKN onshore project sales and electricity generation
- EBIT at EUR 16.7 million in first nine months 2015 vs. EUR 7.7 million last year UK transaction was primary earnings driver. YieldCo earnings before tax of EUR 17.1 million generated in 2015 but not included in reported EBIT figure. Earnings per share rise to EUR 0.13 (prior year EUR 0.00)
- Guidance: EBIT of EUR 5 15 million for 2015. The forecast has been lowered because the approval of the UK project "Sallachy" (66 MW) has not been granted contrary to previous expectations. The reasons for refusal are currently being analyzed. Also approaches for an opposition procedure are being reviewed.
