06.11.2015 / 08:00
---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Incoming orders of EUR 77.8 million (previous year: EUR 56.1 million)
- Order backlog of EUR 64.3 million (previous year: EUR 41.4 million)
- Consolidated sales revenues of EUR 51.6 million (previous year: EUR
57.9 million)

Sales revenues and earnings
PVA TePla AG, Wettenberg, a manufacturer of systems for the production of
industrial crystals, vacuum and high-temperature systems, plasma systems
and facilities for non-destructive quality testing, generated consolidated
sales revenues of EUR 51.6 million (previous year: EUR 57.9 million) in the
first nine months of 2015, which were influenced by weak incoming orders in
the second half of 2014 and the start of 2015. At EUR -1.5 million,
operating earnings were squeezed by the underutilization of capacity and
isolated warranty provisions in the plasma systems business unit. The
operating earnings for the third quarter - now in positive territory at EUR
0.5 million - highlight the effect of the restructuring measures.
Incoming orders
Incoming orders in the PVA TePla Group amounted to EUR 77.8 million in the
first nine months of 2015, and were therefore 39% higher than incoming
orders in the same period of the previous year (EUR 56.1 million). The
book-to-bill ratio of 1.5 (previous year: 1.0) emphasizes the growth in
which both business units have participated.
Net asset situation
Total assets amounted to EUR 91.8 million as of September 30, 2015, up on
the figure as of December 31, 2014 [previous year]. Equity declined
slightly to EUR 37.0 million (previous year: EUR 38.8 million) on account
of the net loss for the period of EUR 2.1 million (previous year: EUR -4.8
million); the equity ratio was down at 40.3% (previous year: 43.6%).
An operating cash flow of EUR +0.2 million was generated in the first nine
months of 2015 (previous year: EUR -8.3 million). The net financial
position (cash and cash equivalents less current and non-current financial
liabilities) was EUR -8.1 million (December 31, 2014: EUR -6.9 million).
Outlook for fiscal 2015
Consolidated sales revenues of between EUR 70 million and EUR 80 million
and almost balanced operating earnings are still forecast for fiscal 2015.
If the planned sale of existing systems in stock is not implemented before
the end of the fiscal year, a moderate downturn in earnings is anticipated.
The quarterly report is now available to download on the company's website
