Neutral HiTec Engineering (Renewable Energies) ( 2.) (unchanged) Activity level in Q3 might not support FY estimates Share price performance Share data Volume (l.s.) Close (r.s.)

PER Div. yield 2.9% 2.9% RoCE 1.8% 5.1% RoE 2.4% 4.2% Investment case While the second quarter showed some signs of improvement and following up on this performance would have left the company positive even in a transition year, we might now face a weak level of activity in Q3, which might not allow the company to cover current fix costs. Though this would trigger a revision in our full year earnings estimates, the company s strong cash position should still more than support the current market valuation. In any case, we stay Neutral on the stock until momentum picks up again. LOW ACTIVITY IN Q3 WEIGHS ON EARNINGS While the second quarter showed some positive signs we are somewhat cautious with regard to BDI s development in Q3. Work on the new BioDiesel orders appears to show some delays and there is little left to do in FVD and BioGas. This should lead to a situation in which BioDiesel might just break-even while FVD and BioGas should turn negative on EBIT level. As a consequence, net profit for the quarter as well as the nine month period should become negative. FY FORECAST MIGHT BE TOO HIGH With losses in BioGas most likely not phasing out as planned, it will be hard to achieve our FY forecasts or even reaching a positive result. The BioGas division s performance might even require that the goodwill in BDI s accounts needs to be written down, which is not yet part of our estimates, and which would trigger an even stronger earnings revision after the release of results. Though an earnings revision should have a negative effect on our valuation, we should still see some upside from the current share price based on the company s high cash position.

In any case, ratings (or research) should not be used or relied upon as investment advice. An investor s decision to buy or sell a stock should depend on individual circumstances (such as the investor s existing holdings) and other considerations. MATELAN Research GmbH uses an absolute rating system, which varies considerably from relative rating systems (such as Overweight, Equal Weight or Underweight ). Stock ratings are defined as follows: Strong Buy: In the next 6 to 12 months, the analyst expects a potential absolute change in value of over 2% with high forecast certainty. Buy: In the next 6 to 12 months, the analyst expects a potential absolute change in value of more than 1%. Neutral: In the next 6 to 12 months, the analyst expects a potential absolute change in value of over % up to a maximum of 1%. Reduce: In the next 6 to 12 months, the analyst expects a potential absolute negative change in value of up to -1%. Sell: In the next 6 to 12 months, the analyst expects a potential absolute negative change in value of over -1 % with high forecast certainty. The change in stock price results from the difference between the current share price and the analyst s performance expectations, which are generally based on a fair value calculation performed on the basis of a discounted cash flow model and a key comparison analysis.
