The EBITDA effect stemming from the above-normal weather conditions is ca. EUR 2.5 Mio. Net debt virtually unchanged versus June 18 at EUR 163.6 Mio. 10

High irradiation drove the contribution of PV to ~15% of the 337 373 generation mix in July 18, even exceeding nuclear sources B. Record temperatures caused lower performance ratios of PV systems and above-average outages 385 394 361 390 408 C. Very low rainfall: panels lose efficiency due to embedded dirt, and required more cleaning D.

Nonetheless, the first annual interest payment is scheduled for Feb 19 and therefore there is no cash interest to be paid during 2018. (**) To provide a more realistic view, management indicatively presents the net cash flow and CFPS under the assumption as there would be a pro-rata cash interest paid on the SSD 12

Subsidy stop for new PV projects in China 2. End of import duty on Chinese panels in Europe Government proposed a 20% reduction in FIT for rooftop projects as from 01.01.2019 to avoid excessive returns A transition period might be implemented as to safeguard the viability of projects at the end of the planning phase. Cost reduction for a 750 kwp freefield project has been more limited in comparison to a rooftop installation, as ground projects face a lengthy permitting / cable route process.
