EnviTec Biogas increases revenues and earnings in FY 2014
- Sales revenues of EUR 163.4 million (+9.8%)
- EBIT of EUR 6.3 million (+262.5%)
- EnviTec defies declining industry trend thanks to internationalisation
- Forecast for 2015: Revenues and EBIT at prior year level
Lohne, 15 May 2015 - EnviTec Biogas AG (ISIN: DE000A0MVLS8) increased both
sales revenues and the operative result (EBIT) significantly in the
financial year 2014 in spite of difficult conditions in the biogas market.
The EnviTec Group's four business segments - Plant Construction, Own Plant
Operation, Service and Energy - generated sales revenues of EUR 163.4
million, up 9.8% on the previous year. This represents the upper end of the
range projected for 2014. The strongest increase in revenues was achieved
by the still young Energy segment, which grew by 37.6% to EUR 27.1 million.
After the sharp drop in revenues in 2013, EnviTec's Plant Construction
segment is back on the growth track and generated revenues of EUR 50.4
million (+ 6.6%). This is primarily attributable to the Group's strong
international business, whereas the construction of biogas plants in
Germany has hardly any importance due to the EEG 2014.
"Our strategic positioning is essentially based on the operation of biogas
plants, which generates high cash flows, and the construction of plants in
international growth markets, and this strategy is clearly paying off. Our
figures for 2014 show that we were able to defy the general industry trend
in Germany," said Jörg Fischer, Chief Financial Officer of EnviTec Biogas
AG.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) improved by an impressive 262.5%
to EUR 6.3 million in the financial year 2014. Consolidated net income
amounted to EUR 4.2 million, compared to EUR 0.3 million in the previous
year. Accordingly, earnings per share rose sharply from EUR 0.02 to EUR
0.28. The Executive and Supervisory Boards of EnviTec Biogas AG propose to
distribute a dividend of EUR 0.35 per share for the business year 2014.
At the end of 2014, EnviTec's equity capital amounted to EUR 174 million,
which is equivalent to an equity ratio of 54.4% (previous year: 57.4%). The
company's cash position is comfortable. As of the end of the year, cash and
cash equivalents totalled approx. EUR 20.1 million. Gross cash flow
amounted to EUR 21.7 million in 2014 (previous year: EUR 7.5 million),
while net cash flow came in at EUR 35.4 million (previous year: EUR 37.8
million).
At the end of 2014, EnviTec Biogas had an order backlog of EUR 37.3
million. This forms a good basis for a stable year 2015, for which EnviTec
projects consolidated sales revenues and EBIT at the prior year level.
Business will again be driven primarily by the Own Plant Operation segment,
whose production capacity will be expanded from the current level of 57.9
megawatts through the selective expansion and takeover of existing plants.
EnviTec's Plant Construction segment projects strong new business
especially in Great Britain, where the general conditions are good mainly
thanks to the support for the feeding of biomethane into the natural gas
grid. Other important foreign markets include France as well as China and
Japan. Most recently, EnviTec successfully took a pilot plant in the
Japanese city of Osaka into operation. Overall, EnviTec believes it is well
positioned in the global biogas market and fit for the future thanks to the
structural adjustments made in the past years.
