BDI - BioEnergy International AG: difficult market environment and project
delays depress earnings

(Grambach, 25.07.2014) On the basis of provisional calculations, BDI -
BioEnergy International AG ("BDI"), the leading technology supplier and
specialised plant manufacturer in the field from waste to value, generated
sales of EUR 8.6 million (previous year: EUR 16.6 million) and an operating
result (EBIT) of EUR -2.4 million (previous year: EUR 0.7 million) in the
first half of 2014. In the current fiscal year the economic development is
influenced by the on-going difficult market environment in the field of
renewable energies as well as by project delays in both the BioDiesel and
the BioGas operations.

On the basis of the preliminary figures for the first half of the year and
in view of probable project delays, particularly of a plant in Croatia, the
company anticipates lower sales and an operating loss in the fiscal year
2014. Due to the company's solid financial position, however, the loss can
be partly compensated by corresponding positive financial earnings. The
total orders on hand amount to about EUR 70 million and guarantee the
utilisation of the capacities as well as a positive development in earnings
in the subsequent years.

BDI is working intensively on the strategic expansion of the business
operations by broadening the core skills in the green tech field. Due to
the progress made in research and development projects but also due to the
potential acquisition of complementary environmental technologies BDI is
confident that it will be able to achieve sustainable success in the medium
term.
