Challenge 2014/2015: Improve Sales Performance, Order Intake, and Enhance Visibility 2012: 1st year of restructuring: Secure financing, establish survival mode, severe cost cutting Revenues less, EBIT better than forecast 2013: 2nd year of restructuring: Strategic realignment: Focus on growth regions in the USA and Asia additional cost containment Revenues less, EBIT better than forecast, almost break-even 2014: 3rd year of restructuring: Final shut-down of German and Italian business, sale of European O&M-Business restructuring completed, financing extended. Weakness 2014: Planned turnaround had to be postponed, as build-up of sales force and hence order intake severely delayed Revenues much less, EBIT lower than forecast Challenge 2015: Finalize build-up of sales force, get new orders, establish sustainable business with consistent growth in all key regions. Significant revenue growth, noticeable improvement of EBIT 6
Investment Case: From Restructuring to Growth Final Stage of Turnaround Story Phoenix Solar is one of the few surviving German solar pioneers. Financing secured through September 30, 2016. Deep rooted position in Southeast Asia with a strong multinational workforce and network. Build-up and strengthen position in the US through competitive EPC++ approach. First mover in the MENA region, pilot projects, significant potential. Break-even equation (approx.): 100 MWp => 120 mn revenues => 12 mn gross margin => EBIT break even Current capacity level: 150 180 MWp Phoenix Solar share has been and still is on a few watchlists, in particular of German investors. 7
