Disclosure of insider information: Phoenix Solar AG remains below revised forecast for 2017 revenue and results
Phoenix Solar AG remains below revised forecast for 2017 revenue and results.
• Market uncertainty in USA (201 trade case) and delays in project approvals lead to revenue shift
• Revenue forecast reduced as a consequence; between EUR 90 million and EUR 110 million now expected for 2017
• Operating result (EBIT) for 2017 forecast in a range between EUR -10 million and EUR -8 million
Sulzemoos, October 24th, 2017 / Phoenix Solar AG (ISIN DE000A0BVU93), a leading international photovoltaic system integrator listed on the official market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, announces a further revision to its revenue and results forecast for the 2017 financial year.
Phoenix Solar AG will generate consolidated revenues in a range between EUR 90 million and EUR 110 million in the 2017 financial year. On this base, the company will now achieve a consolidated operating result before interest and taxes (EBIT) of between EUR -10 million and EUR -8 million.
In the forecast revised on August 9, 2017, the company still assumed consolidated revenues between EUR 140 million and EUR 160 million and EBIT between EUR -2.0 million and EUR 1.0 million.
