    Managing Board of SMA Solar Technology AG Decreases Forecast for Current
    Fiscal Year

    Niestetal, October 24, 2016 - The Managing Board of SMA Solar Technology AG
    (SMA/FWB: S92) is adjusting its sales and earnings forecast for the 2016
    fiscal year. The new forecast anticipates sales between EUR900 million and
    EUR950 million (previously EUR950 million to EUR1,050 million) and
    continues to anticipate a significant year-on-year increase in EBIT to
    between EUR60 million and EUR70 million (previously EUR80 million to EUR120
    million). This forecast adjustment was mainly caused by price pressure
    emerging in all market segments worldwide since the middle of 2016 and
    numerous delays in major solar projects. Based on provisional figures, SMA
    achieved sales of more than EUR220 million and EBIT of more than EUR20
    million in the third quarter of 2016. In the third quarter, the gross
    margin was around 25%. High net cash of more than EUR350 million as of
    September 30, 2016 underlines the attractive cash flow profile of SMA.


    "SMA will also achieve a positive result in the current fiscal year. After
    a successful third quarter in 2016, we expect weaker business at year-end
    due to the significant increase in price pressure and numerous project
    delays in the EMEA and North American regions," explained SMA Chief
    Executive Officer Pierre-Pascal Urbon. "SMA has reacted to changes in
    market conditions in good time. This year, we presented significantly cost-
    reduced product innovations and solutions to our customers at leading trade
    fairs in Europe and in the USA. Other innovations also resulting in a
    decrease in manufacturing costs are planned for the years to come. In the
    middle of the year, the Managing Board of SMA resolved the closure of the
    production sites in Denver, USA, and Cape Town, South Africa, at the end of
    2016 in order to decrease the Group's fixed costs and further increase
    flexibility. The positive effects of product innovations and restructuring
    activities are expected to be seen in earnings from 2017. With a high
    equity ratio of nearly 50% and net cash of more than EUR350 million, SMA is
    one of the most solid companies in the solar industry. Financial strength
