PVA TePla AG: Publication of the 2014 annual report and outlook for 2015 - Seite 2

equity ratio fell from 54.5% to 43.6%.

Operating cash flow was EUR -4.5 million in fiscal year 2014 (previous
year: EUR +1.8 million). As at December 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents
amounted to EUR 5.8 million (previous year: EUR 6.6 million).

The annual report is now available to download on the company's website
www.pvatepla.com. 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 27, 2015.

Outlook for fiscal year 2015: Turnaround planned

Taking account of the fact that extensive restructuring measures and a
re-organization of the corporate Group effectively from January 1, 2015,
the management anticipates moving out of loss-making territory in 2015. For
the Industrial Systems division, sales revenues approximately at the level
of the previous year are expected in fiscal year 2015. Sales revenues in
the Semiconductor Systems division are expected to
be higher than those in fiscal year 2014 by a figure in single-digit
millions on the basis of the anticipated positive trend on the
semiconductor market and the higher order backlog. From today's perspective
and in view of an order backlog of EUR 37.9 million as at December 31, 2014
and the fact that orders received for series production and project
business in the first half of 2015 are still to have an impact on sales
revenues and earnings, we are expecting consolidated sales revenues of EUR
70 million to EUR 80 million and EBIT on the scale of a balanced result for
fiscal year 2015.
