Solar-Fabrik reports positive 4Q09 financial results

Solar-Fabrik has reported its financial results of €3.095 million, EBIT of €2.796 million, and a corresponding quarterly profit of approximately €0.26/share for the fourth quarter of 2009.

Total 2009 revenue reached €135.560 million, in comparison to €178.467 million in 2008, with an EBIT of €1.644 million (-€6.122 million in 2008) from its continued operations in solar power systems and solar cells. The total net result inclusive of all segments amounts to -€4.214 million (-€36.302 million in 2008), where -€3.376 million (-€27.859 million in 2008) are contributed by discontinued and disposed businesses.

The company's 2009 full-year revenue of solar power systems reached €135.542 million with an EBIT of €839,000 in comparison to -€2.606 million and €178.014 million the year before. This represents an EBIT improvement from the nine-month period of €2.740 million, which is for the second time in a row the historically best quarterly result for solar power systems.

The solar cells business segment reached a 2009 EBIT of €915,000 and is anticipating a positive result for 2010.

The anticipated feed-in-tariff reduction in Germany has led to an unusually high sales volume already in 1Q10; Solar-Fabrik therefore estimates that its results for 2010 will be equally as positive as the previous year.

As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.
