Echoing other PV manufacturers comments over weak demand for solar products in key markets such as Germany and Italy in the first-half of the year, Conergy announced after the German stock market had closed that it was retracting its 2011 fiscal year guidance of sales topping €1 billion. Conergy did not provide new guidance for 2011.
Although Conergy reported a weak business environment for the first quarter of 2011, hope was that the second quarter would see an uptick and therefore refrained from adjusting its sales and profit margin guidance.
