    EBIT rose by €40 million to €11.7 million. At €7.9 million, the company also posted the first positive net result again in its continuing operations. Based on this favorable development and the assumption of a continuously growing overall market, Conergy has raised its full-year EBITDA outlook to €30 million to €40 million. The company had previously projected EBITDA in the low double-digit millions.

    “These positive figures provide proof that the restructuring is now bearing fruit in three consecutive quarters. We have managed to improve our performance across the board and are also posting positive bottom-line results again. The past years’ hard work is paying off,” said Dieter Ammer, Conergy’s management board chairman.
