Press Release

Results for the 1st Quarter of 2016

BDI - BioEnergy International AG reaches a noticeable increase of sales revenues caused by the scheduled processing of major projects

(Grambach, May 12, 2016) Despite the difficult market environment in the biodiesel and biogas market, BDI was able to maintain its high order backlog and start with the processing of its two major projects in the UK.

As a result of the scheduled processing of the major projects in the UK and Göss, BDI - BioEnergy International AG reports sales revenues of EUR 6.0 million (previous year: EUR 4.3 million). Due to expensive orders for major components in the course of these projects, the operating result (EBIT) in the reporting period was EUR -1.6 million (previous year: EUR -1.7 million). Due to a positive financial result the net result for the period improved to EUR -0.5 million (previous year: EUR -0.8 million).

In the first quarter of 2016 the cash flow from operations was EUR -5.1 million (previous year: EUR 3.5 million) due to the orders for materials and the use of the advance payments received.

High order backlog on hand and promising research results

The order backlog on hand on 31 March, 2016 improved slightly compared to the previous year and is still at a high level. Overall, the order situation at the end of March was EUR 94.6 million (previous year: EUR 89.1 million).

In the field of algae production in the life science sector, the industrial plant in Hartberg is currently in the basic engineering phase. The preparations for starting the construction this year are underway.

Having been awarded the VERENA Award for the bioCRACK Project as part of the State Innovation Awards 2016, BDI has managed to assert itself against 300 submissions nationwide and to claim the coveted award.

Stable basis for the future

With a consistently high equity base of EUR 50.4 million and an equity ratio of 58.5 % (previous year: 64.5 %), BDI remains on solid foundations. The slight reduction of the equity ratio is caused by the consumption of the payments received. With the successful on-going processing of the current major projects and the potential acquisition of new projects, BDI is confident to achieve sustainable success in the medium term.
