Performance in the first half year
In the first half year of fiscal 2017, Phoenix Solar AG generated consolidated revenues of € 42.4 million, a decrease of 20.5 per cent vs. the first six months of fiscal 2016 (H1/2016: € 53.3 million). Sales revenues more than doubled to € 28.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2017, when revenues of € 13.8 million were recorded. Shipments in the first half year reached 66 MWp, a slight increase vs. pre-year (H1/2016: 63 MWp). This reflects continued system price reductions in international markets but at the same time a clear sign of steadily increasing competitiveness of our technology. New project orders signed in July – in particular on our core market USA but also in Asia/Pacific – will lead to further revenue growth in the second half of 2017, always on the assumption that projects begin as scheduled.
In the first six months of 2017, Phoenix Solar generated revenues of
€ 32.8 million in the US, our core market (H1/2016: € 42.6 million), while the Middle East Region contributed revenues of € 5.3 million (H1/2016:
€ 7.1 million). Our Asia/Pacific Region grew by 16.7 percent to € 3.9 million in revenues (H1/2016: € 3.4 million), Europe (excluding our holding company) remained the smallest region with sales of € 0.4 million (H1/2016: € 0.3 million).
