Sales revenues and earnings
PVA TePla AG, Wettenberg, a manufacturer of systems for the production of
industrial crystals, vacuum and high-temperature systems as well as plasma
systems and systems for non-destructive quality inspections, generated
consolidated sales revenues of EUR 33.5 million in the first half of 2015
(previous year: EUR 38.7 million), which is due to the low order backlog at
the beginning of the year. Operating earnings of EUR -2.0 million were
negatively impacted by underutilization of capacity as well as accompanying
actions as part of the reorganization measures.

Incoming orders
In the first six months of 2015, incoming orders for the PVA TePla Group
amounted to EUR 56.3 million and were considerably higher than the previous
year's incoming orders of EUR 30.9 million. The book-to-bill ratio stood at
1.7 (previous year: 0.8). Both divisions made a contribution to the
increase in incoming orders.

Net asset situation
Total assets of EUR 89.0 million as of June 30, 2015 amounted to the value
of December 31, 2014 [previous year]. Equity declined slightly to EUR 37.0
million (previous year: EUR 38.8 million) on account of the net loss for
the period of EUR -2.1 million (previous year: EUR -4.1 million). The
equity ratio declined to 41.6% (previous year: 43.6%).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR -0.8 million in the
first six months of 2015 (previous year: EUR -10.5 million). The net
financial position (cash minus current and non-current financial
liabilities) amounted to EUR -7.8 million (previous year: EUR -12.1
million).

Outlook for fiscal year 2015
Consolidated sales revenues of between EUR 70 million and EUR 80 million
and break-even EBIT are still anticipated for fiscal year 2015.
