Bonn,
Germany: SolarWorld AG Provides Preliminary 2009 Results
Consolidated
sales revenues of the SolarWorld Group increased substantially
versus the previous year (900.3 million EUR) to the provisional
figure of 1,010 million EUR. SolarWorld AG says it benefited from
the worldwide increase in the demand for high quality and brand
name technology in solar power generation.
By
exceeding the one billion revenue mark in 2009 the group increased
its annual sales revenue by a factor of more than 185 in the ten
years since its IPO (1999 revenue: 5.4 million EUR).
The
complete revenue and earnings figures for the fiscal year just
ended will be published as planned on 25 March 2010. Before making
a forecast for 2010 the Management Board will wait to see the
international price development and the development of the national
funding policy.
At
the same time SolarWorld AG will push ahead with investments in
its worldwide high-tech locations so as to be able to meet the
constantly rising demand for solar energy generation technology
with massive increases in its production volumes.
