Capital Stage confirms forecast for FY 2016 after strong first half-year - Seite 3

operating earnings forecast for the financial year 2016, according to which
revenues will increase to over EUR 130 million (2015: EUR 112.8 million),
operating EBITDA will exceed EUR 100 million (2015: EUR 86.8 million),
operating EBIT will amount to over EUR 60 million (2015: EUR 55.4 million)
and operating cash flow to over EUR 93 million (2015: EUR 74.5 million).

The forecast is based on the existing portfolio as of the end of March and
also covers the latest acquisitions. This is due to the fact that the
acquired projects will not be connected to the grid before late 2016 or
early 2017 and will therefore make no revenue or earnings contributions in
the current financial year. The company expects, however, that the key
performance indicators for 2017 will improve accordingly.

The 2016 half-year interim report of Capital Stage AG will be published on
31 August 2016.
