Brilon, January 30, 2015: According to provisional calculations CENTROTEC
Sustainable AG, Brilon, expects to achieve its revenue target for 2014 with
consolidated revenue reaching around EUR 531 million. The continuing weak
performance of most markets in the fourth quarter of the year and the
development of the Russian rouble, which diminished the result (EBIT) by
over one million euros, are likely to cause the previous earnings forecast
to be narrowly missed at just under EUR 31 million.
CENTROTEC does not expect any significant easing of the unsatisfactory
environment in the current 2015 financial year. The low oil price is
providing little stimulus for a revival in the weak German heating market.
In the continuing absence of an economic recovery in Western and Southern
Europe, along with the Euro crisis and the Ukraine conflict, the
expectations for the international sales markets are subdued. There is
merely the prospect of a renewed positive stimulus towards the end of the
year, when the tougher European and national efficiency requirements for
buildings take effect in the autumn.
The audited 2014 financial statements and Annual Report will be published
on March 26, 2015.
