Crystalline Solar vs. CIGS Thin Film

• High cell & module efficiency

• Easy process

• Advanced technology

• Production split on different

locations (silicon, ingot, wafer,

cell, module)

Crystalline Solar

• Excellent stability

• Good low light performance

• Light soaking effect

• Reduced sensitivity to overheating

• Tolerance to shading & low intensity

Forecast 2017/2018

Year 2017 2018

Sales Doubling of revenues

(2016: 68.6 Mio. €)

Moderate increase in

revenues

EBIT Positive at low single-

digit million range

An improvement in the gross

margin is expected to lift

EBIT further compared with

2017

Disclaimer:

For the current year SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES projects a doubling of sales pursuant to IFRS compared with the previous year. The operating result

(EBIT) for the Group should come in at a low, positive double-digit million range. The forecast for the annual targets for 2017 mainly rests on the

assumption that the majority of the concluded delivery contracts, which are currently booked as order backlog, can be finished as scheduled within the

course of the business year. The prerequisite for this is that the respective, contractually agreed prepayments are received in a timely manner. For the two

major orders reported in 2017 with additional customers for CIGS production machines, the prepayments were received in the quarter under review or

shortly thereafter and the assembly of the machines has begun. The pending prepayments for the second site in the context of the major order placed by

the Chinese customer CNBM have to be made during the third quarter for the order to make sufficient sales and earnings contributions within the course of

the year. Furthermore, additional orders in the area of wet-chemical machines are anticipated for 2017. In particular with respect to wet-chemical machines,

the company is subject to high competitive pressures.

If the order intake or the resulting prepayments by customers for the business years 2017 and 2018 assumed within the framework of the forecast should

fall significantly short of expectations, this could potentially threaten the survival of the company. Furthermore, we refer to the risk of a 50% depletion of the

nominal capital of the SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES AG pursuant to HGB accounting principles,

which is detailed in the Risk Report.
