This increase in customer orders relates to both divisions - Industrial Systems and Semiconductor Systems. Given the current order backlog, consolidated sales revenues of between EUR 80 and EUR 90 million, EBITDA of between EUR 4 and EUR 6 million and EBIT of between EUR 2 and EUR 4 million are forecasted for the current fiscal year. Further reduction in break-even sales revenues In fiscal year 2016, PVA TePla AG will be relocating its subsidiary, PVA Metrology & Plasma Solutions GmbH (PVA MPS), from Kirchheim near Munich to its headquarters in Wettenberg. With around 40 employees, PVA MPS develops and sells low-pressure process equipment for the modification and functionalization of surfaces and metrology systems for the quality inspection of wafers worldwide. This decision is motivated primarily by the bundling of resources and the leverage of synergies. As a result of this move, the PVA TePla Group's break-even sales revenue figure can be reduced to less than EUR 70 million in the future. The 2015 Annual Report will be published on March 23, 2016 and can be downloaded from the company's website www.pvatepla.com from this date. A press conference and analysts' meeting to comment on the past fiscal year and the prospects for further development will be held in Frankfurt on March 24, 2016.
