The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News: About BDI - BioEnergy International AG BDI - BioEnergy International AG is market and technology leader in the construction of customised BioDiesel plants using the Multi-Feedstock Technology the company has developed itself, which can manufacture BioDiesel from different raw materials, such as Vegetable Oils, Used Cooking Oils and Animal Fats.
