Earnings forecast for 2010 almost doubled thanks to strong position

CENTROSOLAR Group AG is almost doubling its earnings forecast from EUR 14 - 16 million to EUR 24 - 28 million thanks to its sustained healthy margins. The previously publicised revenue ceiling of EUR 370 million, too, should be reached or just exceeded.

The positive development in margins stems from the continuing effect of the cost optimisation measures initiated last year and from CENTROSOLAR´s strong position internationally. Thanks to its dense sales network, the specialist for solar roof systems is in a position to provide integrated systems and technical service for local firms of fitters in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Greece and the USA.

The actual trading figures for the first half will be published on August 4.
