SolarWorld AG achieves strong Q1 2015 - Seite 2

As announced earlier this year, SolarWorld expects to increase its
shipments including sales of solar wafers and cells in 2015 by at least 25
percent compared with 2014 and thus to exceed the mark of one gigawatt for
the first time. Consolidated revenue 2015 is also expected to rise by at
least 25 percent in comparison with previous year to more than EUR 700
million.

"The signs point to growth. We will boost shipments and revenue, expand our
capacities to this end and will further increase our efficiency and cost
structure, not least by investing in new technologies," says Dr.-Ing. E. h.
Frank Asbeck, CEO of SolarWorld AG. "On this basis, we will achieve a
positive EBIT without potential one-off effects in the entire fiscal year
2015 as planned."
