In March, the company reported heavy losses of €51.6 million (US$55.9 million) for 2014 but stressed that a strong order book meant it was likely that it would incur only small losses for 2015

According to Singulus, it has €60 million of orders lined up. These include a major order for CIGS equipment from Hanergy.

“While the operating activities picked up considerably in the first quarter 2015 and orders exceeding €60 million (US$65 million) were already recorded, the earnings situation remains difficult,” a statement issued by the company said. “To secure the economic viability of the company in the long-term and to enable further growth, the executive board accelerates the initiated strategic repositioning of the company and intends to adjust the capital structure as an essential basis for this.”
