The bond volume of EUR50 million is thus completely utilized. "We are very pleased with this sign of confidence from the capital market - both on the equity and on the borrowed capital side. Thanks to the now completely placed bond and the capital increase, we are well equipped for the next growth step. We want to expand our plant capacity by the end of this year and thus increase our sustainably secured sales and income base", says Dr. Thomas Berger, CEO of KTG Energie AG. KTG Energie is planning to increase production capacity by the end of 2014 by up to 3 MW, which is to be fully optimized during the course of 2015. As a result of the capacity growth by up to 3 MW, the sales base could be expanded by EUR3 million and the EBITDA base by around EUR1 million after a strengthening phase of six to nine months, as these plants are still benefiting from the advantageous regulations of the EEG 2012. For the current fiscal year, which will end in October, the Executive Board is reckoning with sales of around EUR65 million and EBITDA of between EUR19.5 and EUR20.5 million, as well as EBIT of between EUR12 and EUR12.5 million. In fiscal year 2014/2015, KTG Energie will aim to achieve a sales base of EUR80 million and a sustainably secured income base of around EUR22 million on an EBITDA basis. The agreed capacity expansion of up to 3 MW should raise the sales base for fiscal year 2015/2016 to over EUR83 million and the EBITDA base to over EUR23 million.
