Singulus Technologies AG provided earnings guidance for the year 2016 and 2017. For 2016, the company projects sales in a range from EUR 115 to 130 million as well as a balanced to slightly negative EBITDA. The company still expects a slightly negative operating result (EBIT) for 2016 in the range of EUR 2 to 6 million. It is expected that sales will be split by more than 70% in the Solar division and around 20% in the Optical Disc segment. The forecast for the full-year targets for 2016 is mainly based on the assumptions that the Solar market will continue to perform favorably, the currently discussed, extensive orders for production machines for thin-film solar modules are realized and that additional orders in the area of wet-chemical machines are received shortly.

For 2017, the company expects a moderate improvement in sales compared with the business year 2016. A slightly positive operating result (EBIT) and correspondingly improved earnings before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) are expected.
