DGAP-News: BDI - BioEnergy International AG / Key word(s): Final Results BDI - BioEnergy International AG: Successful 2015 fiscal year 31.03.2016 / 08:03 The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Press release BDI - BioEnergy International AG: Successful 2015 fiscal year (Grambach, March 31, 2016): BDI - BioEnergy International AG, leading technology supplier and special plant manufacturer, recorded an increase in sales of 103% to EUR 33.3 million in the 2015 fiscal year. The revenue increase is attributable to the implementation of two biogas and one biodiesel project. The operating result (EBIT) in the period under review amounted to EUR 0.1 million (previous year: -EUR 5.0 million). The excellent financial result of EUR 5.0 million includes, among others, the sale of the shares in the M&R Holding AG. After the deduction of taxes BDI reports a very satisfying net result of EUR 3.7 million (previous year: EUR -1.7 million). With an on-going excellent order backlog of EUR 98.9 million and an outstanding equity position BDI is well prepared for the future. The cash flow from the operating activity increased to EUR 12.9 million in the 2015 fiscal year (previous year: -EUR 4.1 million). The cash and securities portfolio worth EUR 58.8 million at the end of 2015 has increased by EUR 22.7 million compared to the previous year. The equity base amounted to EUR 50.9 million, which led to an equity ratio of 57%. Further increase in the order backlog The order backlog reached EUR 98.9 million at the end of December 2015 and was therefore substantially increased compared to 2014 (previous year: EUR 73.9 million). The positive development is attributable primarily to the obtainment of new commissions in Great Britain, which are currently in the installation phase. Project implementation on schedule In the 2015 fiscal year BDI was able to successfully hand over a biodiesel project in Spain as well as two biogas plants in Poland and Austria. On-going difficulties with regard to project funding and authority approvals are continuing to delay the generation of sales of the major biodiesel projects in Croatia and the Netherlands. Well-prepared for the future BDI - BioEnergy International AG concentrated to a greater extent on its core skills again last year - the in-house development and industrial implementation of benchmark technologies. In line with the motto "explore the land of new technology", the company started to tackle new research challenges and made technical improvements to existing products and services. In the new "Life Science" segment, BDI developed a new process for the generation of algae products at its in-house research department. The newly established, wholly-owned subsidiary BDI - BioLife Science GmbH is now investing in the construction of a production plant of its own at the Hartberg/Styria location. About EUR 1.0 million were invested in the expansion of the technical facilities at the German subsidiary UIC GmbH, in order to strengthen the technology leadership and to accelerate the transformation of the company from being a pure supplier of components to being a supplier of complete plants.
