Revenue for the first nine months of 2010 was €412 million, an 86.6% increase over the same period in 2009. 

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) reached €40.3 million a significant increase over the previous year when EBIT was only €0.3 million.

Revenue in Italy almost doubled to €61.4 million, while revenue in France increased more than tenfold to €25.7 million. aleo solar also reported revenue nearly tripled to €14.4 million in Greece. 

The company said that 28.8% of revenue was generated outside Germany and around 30% of revenue for 2010 would be outside Germany. 

“While the first six months of the year were dominated by pull-forward effects caused by the amendment of the Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz (German Renewable Energy Act – EEG) and correspondingly high revenue in our domestic market, in the third quarter over half of our revenue was generated outside Germany”, commented York zu Putlitz, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of aleo solar AG. “In view of the positive development of business in our European core markets, we are raising our 2010 revenue forecast to at least EUR 500 million, with a very solid EBIT margin.”
