- EBITimproved by 18.1 per cent to -2.8 million Euros

Frankfurt, August 28, 2013
The slow progress in the completion of the current BOT projects and the temporary suspension of some of ZhongDe’s EPC projects had a negative impact on the results of the first six months 2013. With regard to the company’s order backlog having increased by 75.2 per cent mainly due to the successful signing of the new large Wuhai EPC contract at the end of June 2013 as well as due to the BOT project in Lanzhou, ZhongDe looks cautiously optimistic into the future.
In the first half-year 2013 ZhongDe’s revenues went down year-on-year by 48.4 per cent to 2.6 million Euros (H1 2012: 4.9 million Euros). This decrease was mainly related to the slow progress of the construction of the three BOT projects in Zhoukou, Kunming and Xianning. Also the two EPC projects in Zhucheng and Dingzhou have been temporarily suspended.
Gross profit decreased by 59.9 per cent to 0.2 million Euros (H1 2012: 0.4 million Euros) partly due to changes in the accounting method for BOT projects. Nevertheless, thanks to the strict reduction of selling and distribution costs by 72.2 per cent, ZhongDe could improve EBIT by 18.1 per cent to -2.8 million Euros (H1 2012: -3.5 million Euros) and reduce its net loss from 4.1 million Euros by 0.8 million Euros to 3.3 million Euros in the first half-year 2013.
Strong order backlog and comfortable cash position
ZhongDe’s order backlog increased significantly by 75.2 per cent to 248.7 million Euros compared to June 30, 2012, which was mainly a result of the new contract of the Wuhai EPC project amounting to 42.0 million Euros as well as due to the BOT project in Lanzhou, which contributed with 140.4 million Euros to the order backlog since June 2012.
With a cash position of 95.0 million Euros ZhongDe is still well prepared for further BOT investments and project financing. Also ZhongDe’s equity remained stable amounting to 112.2 million Euros as of June 30, 2013 (December 31, 2012: 112.8 million Euros), representing an equity ratio of 54.7 per cent (31 December 2012: 56.2 per cent).
Modest outlook
With regard to the full year 2013, ZhongDe estimates to further benefit from the huge market potential for the energy-from-waste industry in China. All in all, ZhongDe expects the second half-year of 2013 to remain a transition period, in which the company expects to finalize its existing two BOT projects (Zhoukou and Xianning), start their trial operations, restart the
suspended two EPC projects (Dingzhou and Zhucheng), and continue the preparation for the new projects in Lanzhou and Wuhai.
