In the third quarter of 2009, SMA Solar Technology AG (FWB: S92) again recorded a highly positive business performance. Due to the fact that the quarterly results exceed the expectations SMA already publishes preliminary key data today. On account of the ongoing strong demand for SMA photovoltaic inverters in Germany and abroad, sales rose by 38 % to c. EUR 312 million in the third quarter (previous year quarter: EUR 226.7 million). Consequently, SMA generated an 8 % surge in sales to c. EUR 559 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 (previous year nine months: EUR 519.3 million). The international markets continued to make a key contribution to total sales in the first nine months.
In the third quarter of 2009, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to c. EUR 86 million (previous year quarter: EUR 63.1 million). Accordingly, SMA improved its EBIT in the reporting period January to September 2009 to c. EUR 120 million (previous year nine months: EUR 131.8 million). The EBIT margin is c. 21.5 % (previous year nine months: 25.4 %).
On the basis of the positive business performance in the third quarter SMA management increases its sales forecast for fiscal 2009 to EUR 760 to 810 million (previous forecast: EUR 680 to 730 million). Thus management anticipates an increase in total sales by c. 19 % compared to the previous year (2008: EUR 681.6 million). The EBIT margin is estimated to be 21.5 % to 23.5 % (previous forecast: 18 % to 20 %). On November 13, SMA Solar Technology AG will publish its Quarterly Financial Report for the period January to September 2009. |
