EnviTec Biogas expects increase in sales to EUR 150 to EUR 200 million in 2009

Lohne, January 20, 2009 – EnviTec Biogas AG [ISIN: DE000A0MVLS8, WKN: A0MVLS], headquartered in Lohne, feels confident for the fiscal year 2009: The manufacturer and operator of biogas plants expects an increase in sales to EUR 150 to EUR 200 million. The company expects a continued strong demand in Germany, which already set off after the amendment of the German Renewable Energies Act (EEG) midyear 2008. Furthermore EnviTec Biogas assumes an ongoing increase in export business.

As far as the economic situation – in particular a stabilization of the financial markets – allow, EnviTec Biogas will concretize its sales target and possibly ad an EBIT outlook. The wide range results from the currently prolonged investigation and approval procedures with regard to financing and plant engineering. “Therefore it is not possible to give a more precise outlook at the moment”, says Olaf von Lehmden, Chief Executive Officer of EnviTec Biogas AG. „Due to the current economic situation and the related uncertainties, we still want to provide the stakeholders with a first indication of the good business development of our company.”
