Particularly noteworthy is the very positive development in plant engineering. This is a lasting manifestation of the trend reversal that has been achieved in this segment in the last few business periods. With a volume of 152.5 million euros, the order backlog in plant engineering at the end of June 2021 was at its highest level in ten years. In its own operation, the company's most important segment, EnviTec generated significant sales growth in the first half of 2021, which is primarily due to the sharp rise in electricity trading prices in the Energy division. The segment turnover grew by 18.7% to EUR 62.9 million, the total output increased by 13.9% to EUR 63.7 million. In the Service segment, sales increased by 7.7% to EUR 19.8 million. As a result of a lower inventory build-up, total output fell by 2.6% to EUR 20.6 million. In plant engineering, sales rose by 40.6% to EUR 25.6 million in the first half of 2021 as a result of the final invoice for several successful projects. The total output, which also takes into account systems under construction via the inventory changes, rose by 5.8% to EUR 32.3 million. The described development at segment level resulted in an increase in the consolidated sales of EnviTec Biogas by 20.9% to EUR 108.3 million. The total output increased by 8.4% to 116.6 million euros. In addition, the company recorded continued high profitability in the first half of 2021. This was achieved despite an increased cost base, which was due to the high capacity utilization in plant construction, a significant increase in staff and increased investments. In total, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of EUR 7.5 million (H1 2020: EUR 8.8 million) were achieved in the group in the first six months of 2021. Earnings before taxes (EBT) amounted to EUR 7.9 million (H1 2020: EUR 9.2 million), the consolidated net income before minorities was EUR 7.3 million (H1 2020: EUR 8.1 million). Earnings per share in the group were EUR 0.49 (H1 2020: EUR 0.55). The very good balance sheet structure of the EnviTec Group was further strengthened in the reporting period. With lower bank liabilities (-26.6%) and total assets of 232.1 million euros, the equity ratio was 60.4% as of the balance sheet date (December 31, 2020: 55.8%). The good equity base and the further reduced debt form a strong financial basis to further expand our own position on the international biogas markets in the coming years and to develop new, promising business areas through targeted investments. The company intends to continue to operate profitably in all business areas. Jörg Fischer, Chief Financial Officer of EnviTec Biogas AG: “As an internationally active, integrated biogas all-rounder, we benefit from the global restructuring towards a climate-neutral energy supply. In our international markets in particular, our know-how, our experience and our technology are in increasing demand. In Germany, as part of new legal regulations, there is great potential for growth in the production of advanced biofuels and we want to open up this business area by operating our own plants. " With the acquisition of the BioEnergie Park Güstrow, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, in spring 2021, a milestone was set for the production of climate-neutral biofuels. In the largest biogas plant in Germany to date, significant quantities of processed bio-LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) are to be produced for greener heavy-duty traffic from autumn 2022. The conversion of the Güstrow location requires extensive investments up to and including 2023. After the conversion is completed, full-load operation of the facility from 2023 will generate additional annual sales potential in the low double-digit million range as well as significant, positive contributions to earnings. For the current financial year 2021, the management board of EnviTec Biogas AG confirms the current full-year forecast and assumes a slight increase in overall output (or sales, depending on the number of final projects). Earnings before taxes (EBT) are still expected to be in the region of EUR 17 to 19 million. “The prerequisites for entering biofuel production are ideal. As one of the largest biogas plant operators in Germany, we are very familiar with operational management and have already built a large number of processing plants at home and abroad. The first supply contracts with several large customers have already been concluded, ”says Olaf von Lehmden, CEO of EnviTec Biogas AG. “Together with our partners, who for their part are investing significantly in the expansion of the filling station infrastructure, we are making a significant contribution to the decarbonization of heavy goods traffic and thus to the turnaround in traffic in Germany. We are critical of the one-sided focus on e-mobility that continues to prevail in Germany. We therefore demand from political decision-makers in Germany The full interim report for the first six months of 2021 is available at: https://www.envitec-biogas.de/unternehmen/investor-relations/ir-publikationen .
